Kangana Ranaut and Sandeep Singh to collaborate on a mega-budget movie

Kangana Ranaut and filmmaker Sandeep Singh are set to launch a film soon. The title and the director of the film will be announced soon. The film will hit the floors early next year.

Announcing her collaboration with filmmaker Sandeep Singh, Kangana Ranaut said, “Sandeep and I have been friends for over 13 years and wanting to do a film for a long time. Now since we have found the right subject and the role we are all set to roll soon, it is going to be the biggest film of my career and a fantastic role, further details will be announced soon.”

Filmmaker Sandeep Singh said, “It’s a dream come true for any filmmaker to have a National Award winner and Padma Shri honoured actress on board like Kangana Ranaut. I had been eagerly waiting to work with her for over a decade. Finally, my vision is coming true with this film .”

He added, “The films I offered her earlier did not match up to her calibre as an actress. Thus, I waited for the right one to come my way. It was a challenge to find a good script keeping Kangana’s acting prowess in mind. Now since I have a meaty subject that only she can do, I instantly got in touch with her. And this time she could not say no. This film and the character will be the most respectable and memorable. It will be loved by every Indian across the globe. I am grateful to Kangana for taking our friendship a step forward and giving me the privilege to bring our association to fruition.”

Pakistani singer Ali Sethi calls Arijit Singh No. 1 after Pasoori Nu remake: Main unke gaane sunta hoon

Satyaprem Ki Katha starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani is only a few days away from its release. Earlier this week, ‘Pasoori Nu’ was unveiled which is a remake of Pakistani Punjabi song crooned by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill for Coke Studio Pakistan. The new version has been sung by Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar. The music is given by Rochak Kohli and Ali Sethi. The lyrics of the song are given by Gurpreet Saini and Ali Sethi. While the song has received a mixed response from the audience, original singer Ali Sethi is supporting Arijit Singh’s version.

While sharing his views, in his recent live broadcast on Instagram, Ali Sethi said, “Arijit Singh is no 1. Main Arijit ke gaane sunta hoon and khaas taur par ‘Laal Ishq’, ‘Aayat’ and ‘Phir Le Aaya Dil’. Mujhe lagta hai ki yeh kaise ho sakta hai ki ek contemporary modern singer jo bilkul ek contemporary andaaz main gaaye like ‘Haan Main Galat’, woh jab semi classical andaaz ko chhedhte hai, you don’t feel for a moment that you are missing that shudhta which is required for classical (I have heard Arijit’s songs specially ‘Laal Ishq’, ‘Aayat’ and ‘Phir Le Aaya Dil’. I feel stunned by the fact how a contemporary modern singer who has a different way of singing, brings brilliance when he sings a classical song.”

Karan Johar pays homage to Yash Chopra in Tum Kya Mile from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani: It had to be unapologetic or it wouldnt be true

Filmmaker Karan Johar is all set to release the first song ‘Tum Kya Mile’ from his directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani today. The song features Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt and has been crooned by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. With this song, Karan Johar pays homage to late filmmaker Yash Chopra who was the true pioneer of love songs shot in the valleys and actresses wearing chiffon sarees.

Ahead of the song release today in the afternoon, Karan Johar penned a heartfelt note. The song, choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant, was shot in Kashmir. Karan said, “In a few hours #tumkyamile will be yours…. I remember at the very onset my instinct was that I wanted to film a love song that would unabashedly pay homage to my guru Yash Chopra…. The thinking evolved mind would say “you can’t match it or even dare to emulate it “ but the fan boy and the ardent lover of snow, chiffons,the stunning locations of Kashmir and sheer romance got the better of me. Pritam Dada and I yearned for a song for the ages from the ages and it had it be unapologetic or it wouldn’t be true …My deepest gratitude to Vaibhavi Merchant who got the Memo better than I did and completely took charge and being a Yash Chopra lover herself … she gave her heart to our song.”

This was the first song Alia Bhatt shot after giving birth to her daughter Raha. Whereas it marks Ranveer’s first snow-filled mountain love song. “This is also the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her angel and I remain in apology for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons … in sympathy I fell drastically ill through the shoot ( a karmic punishment perhaps ????) Ranveer was nervous as this was his first lip sync mountain love song but he was a real trooper.”

Hansal Mehta inks multi-year series partnership with Netflix after Scoop: This is only going to empower me to dive into a variety of undiscovered stories

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has inked a multi-year series partnership with streaming giant Netflix after the release of Scoop, which received much acclaim. This news follows after his web series Scoop released on the platform earlier this month, starring Karishma Tanna, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub and Harman Baweja.

Hansal Mehta told Variety, “As a filmmaker, the idea of creating diverse and dynamic stories constantly keeps me on my toes. What excites me about this partnership with Netflix, which is home to some of the finest talent, is the potential for my work to reach viewers across the world. As was the case with ‘Scoop,’ Netflix is engaged in the creative process right from the scripting, all the way to its marketing and distribution which is critical for the success of any creative collaboration. This long term partnership with them is only going to empower me to dive into a variety of undiscovered stories.”

Monika Shergill, VP, content, Netflix India, added, “Hansal is a master of his craft and has an eye for spotting stories that have a broad appeal and are relevant to a wide audience. Being a nuanced storyteller, he is able to tell these stories like no one else. ‘Scoop’ marks yet another success for our series this year and with this partnership we look forward to never seen before stories that audiences will love.”

Inspired by real events and Jigna Vora’s memoir, “Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison”, Hansal Mehta’s Scoop is produced by Matchbox Shots and created by Hansal Mehta and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul. It marked Hansal Mehta and Netflix’s maiden partnership with the first season of a franchise chronicling the shocking sequence of events that unravel for an unsuspecting journalist.

Zeenat Aman celebrates Pride Month; says It perplexes me that anyone should take offence to the personal choices of another when it does them no harm

Veteran legend Zeenat Aman has collaborated with Google India to celebrate Pride Month and support the LGBTQIA+ community. The actress penned a lengthy note and urged people to support and not hate the people who have not done any harm. In the post, Zeenat says she considers herself to be an ally.

Zeenat Aman wrote, “Happy Pride Month, dear followers. When @googleindia reached out to me to be a part of their #searchforchange campaign, my first instinct was to suggest they approach someone from the LGBTQIA+ community. As a straight person I have not lived any of their experiences and so cannot speak for them. I do however consider myself an ally. I have befriended, known and worked with many talented, creative, artistic and wonderful people from this community.”

She wrote, “My message thus is not for the LGBTQIA+ community; they know their own experiences best. My message is for straight folk, especially those older generations who are struggling to accept, or are outright denying, the existence of queer identities. Culture and nature are the two banal arguments that I hear cited against such relationships time and again. I am no anthropologist, but I know that healthy cultures are ever evolving. Neither am I a naturalist, but I know that queer relationships exist in a diversity of species. Beyond this is the simple matter of free will. My own philosophy has always been to live and let live, and it perplexes me that anyone should take offence to the personal choices of another when it does them no harm. That too in matters of love.”

Later, quoting Rabindranath Tagore’s poem ‘Where the Mind is Without Fear’, she added, “Do you remember that beautiful Tagore poem ‘Where the Mind is Without Fear’? It is a rousing vision of freedom, and I would like to quote from it in the hope that it will encourage you to choose love over hate, and reason over prejudice. Tagore calls for a world: “Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action…” If you are someone who carries apprehensions about queerness, I urge you to not be a slave to the dead habit of hate or ignorance. The times are (always) changing, and with it so can our thoughts. The shame lies not so much in being ignorant, but in choosing ignorance. We have the tools at our disposal to know better. So if you’re still wondering about that Tagore poem, queer animals, or what LGBTQIA+ stands for… #Searchforchange, Google it.”

Zeenat Aman made her Instagram debut in February 2023. The actress was most recently featured on the cover of Vogue India.
