Kareena Kapoor Khan is not hesitating at all to experiment with her character these days. While she played a fun-loving character in films like Crew, on the other hand, the actress played a serious character in a film like Jaane Jaan. Now the details of her next project have been revealed.
Deepika Padukone sparked a massive controversy after she visited JNU in 2020. Meghna Gulzar recently addressed the same during an interview.
Bollywood actor Jaideep Ahlawat has revealed that he watched his movie Raazi only when his co-star Alia Bhatt threatened to block his number. Ahlawat was speaking to Jaane Jaan actor Saurabh Sachdeva when he shared an interesting anecdote. WATCH here.
In 'Sam Bahadur,' Vicky Kaushal will take on the titular role, while Fatima Sana Shaikh will step into the shoes of Indira Gandhi, the country’s first female Prime Minister. The 29-year-old actor said she is excited to collaborate with Gulzar, best known for critical hits like "Raazi", "Chhapaak" and "Talvar".
In Sam Bahadur, Vicky Kaushal is essaying the role of the war hero and Sanya Malhotra will play his wife, Silloo, while Fatima Sana Shaikh will be seen as former prime minister Indira Gandhi. Malhotra thanked Gulzar for giving her the opportunity to play the role of Manekshaw’s wife.
Gulzar started his career as a lyricist with the film 'Kabuliwala', starring Balraj Sahni. Since then he has penned songs and scripts in numerous films, and also directed several acclaimed feature films including 'Maachis', 'Aandhi', 'Mausam', 'Khushboo', 'Parichay' and 'Koshish'.
The filmmaker who made a mark directing Lipstick Under My Burkha in 2017, adds that this is because women-centric films don't get distribution. "The budget is justified through the exhibition and distribution system. These distributors feel that these films cannot make that much money," she says.
Chhapaak is based on the real-life story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Aggarwal. Meghna Gulzar directed the movie which clashed at the box office with Ajay Devgn’s period drama Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.
Chhapaak is directed by Meghna Gulzar and is also Deepika Padukone's first work as a producer. The film is based on the real-life of activist Laxmi Agarwal who was attacked at the age of 16 by a man twice her age.
Deepika Padukone's big risk is paying off.
Twitter was abuzz with claims that the name of antagonist in Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak has been changed to Rajesh from Nadeem Khan. But here's the truth.
Acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal’s lawyer to take legal action against Deepika Padukone and Meghna Gulzar for not giving due credit in film Chhapaak
A writer, Rakesh Bharti had filed a suit in the HC claiming that he had originally penned a story on the life of an acid attack survivor on which "Chhapaak", directed by Meghna Gulzar, is based.
Meghna Gulzar's next Chhappak stars Deepika Padukone, Virant Massey and is set to hit the theatres on January 10.
Meghna Gulzar said getting a 'U' certificate is an "immense validation", especially for a film like "Chhapaak" which could have been perceived as "difficult and graphic" due to its storyline.
Chhappaak director Meghna Gulzar said it made sense to explore the issue of acid attacks in the country through the film as during her research she found out that such cases are happening on almost daily basis.
Meghna Gulzar's next Chhapaak is based on the life events of acid attack survivour Laxmi Aggarwal. Deepika Padukone will be seen essaying her character on screen.
A writer has approached the Bombay High Court against Deepika Padukone-starrer "Chhapaak”, claiming he originally penned an acid attack survivor's story on which the film is based.
Harinder said that Meghna would direct the Alia Bhatt-Vicky Kaushal starrer was one of the "three conditions" in the film contract that he signed with the production house.
From Filhaal and Raazi to Chhapaak, Meghna Gulzar is one of the unconventional filmmakers Bollywood is blessed with.
