A remake of 7G Rainbow Colony in the works at Bhansali Productions

After the smashing success of Padmaavat (2018), acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has not announced his next project yet. There have been countless speculations about his next directorial venture, though.

But if latest reports are to be believed, the director has acquired the remake rights of the bilingual romantic drama 7G Rainbow Colony, which released in 2004 and turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year.


7G Rainbow Colony was shot simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu. After the Tamil and Telugu versions did exceptionally well at the box-office, the movie was then remade in other languages like Odia, Bengali and Kannada. Now, it seems, 7G Rainbow Colony is set for a Hindi adaptation by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

“There is a buzz in the trade that SLB and T-Series have taken the rights of the film. There is no official confirmation that it is a remake, and the makers are searching for a date in the second half of the year to release the movie,” a source reveals.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is also rumoured to be working on a film which might feature superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in lead roles. With so many stories swirling around, an official announcement regarding the next project of the ace filmmaker is highly awaited.

Sumukhi Suresh says Hoemonal proves women back bold comedy on their own terms

Sumukhi Suresh Unfiltered: Why women deserve bigger stages as she brings a riskier 'Hoemonal' to London

Highlights:

  • Comedian-creator Sumukhi Suresh frames Hoemonal as a string of lived moments shaped by “hormones” rather than neat narratives.
  • The show has grown in scope since its last London run: larger venues, fuller ambitions and a clearer audience focus on women.
  • Sumukhi discusses risk, crafting unlikeable protagonists (Pushpavalli), founding Motormouth Writers and the practical demands of touring big productions.

Sumukhi Suresh opened Hoemonal by naming the show’s true co-star: hormones. The title, she says, is not a punchline. It works more like a container for all the loose, messy pieces of life that she threads together onstage — the doubts, the desires, the shifts in confidence, and the everyday disorder most women recognise but rarely hear spoken aloud.

Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of her London shows, Sumukhi Suresh is direct, thoughtful and quick with her humour, much like she is onstage.
