Akshay, Kareena, Diljit and Kiara to star in Karan Johar’s next Good News

A couple of days ago, we had reported a story stating that superstar Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan were in talks with filmmaker Karan Johar to topline his next production venture. Today, the makers officially announced the project along with revealing its title.

Also starring Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles, Dharma Productions’ next is titled Good News. Last seen together in the Sabbir Khan-directed romcom Kambakkht Ishq (2009), Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan reteam after a massive gap of almost a decade.


Good News will be helmed by debutant Raj Mehta, who has previously assisted Karan Johar’s protégé Shashank Khaitan on such successful films as Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017).

According to reports, the movie is set to mount the shooting floor later this year. It will be co-produced by Dharma Productions in association with Akshay Kumar’s Cape Of Good Films.

Good News will roll into cinemas on July 19, 2019.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
