Confirmed! Kajol all set to work with Pradeep Sarkar!

Whether she does a film or not, Kajol always remains in the limelight for one reason or the other. However, her diehard fans are just waiting to see their favourite actress in a Hindi film as soon as possible.

Kajol was last seen in the Rohit Shetty directorial Dilwale opposite Shah Rukh Khan. However, the film did not match up to audiences' expectations. After Dilwale, Kajol did a negative role in the Tamil comedy-drama VIP 2 which starred Dhanush as the leading man.


Reports about her joining hands with acclaimed filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar have been doing the rounds for months now. Now, Kajol has herself confirmed the news that her next Hindi venture will be helmed by Pradeep Sarkar.

According to reports, the untitled film will be based on Anand Gandhi’s Gujarati play ‘Beta Kaagdo’. Talking about the movie, Kajol recently revealed to a leading Indian daily, “Pradeep Sarkar will be directing the film, and it will be a home production. I cannot divulge any more details.”

Earlier, husband Ajay Devgn was also rumoured to play an important role in the film, but fresh reports claim that he is not part of the project in an actor's capacity.

The film will be bankrolled by Ajay Devgn’s production banner. The shooting is expected to begin in a couple of months.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
