Dia Mirza on 15 years of Lage Raho Munna Bhai: The questions that the film tackled in 2006 are still meaningful

Rajkumar Hirani’s Lage Raho Munna Bhai starred Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, and Vidya Balan, in the lead roles, and Dia Mirza, Boman Irani, and Dilip Prabhavalkar played pivotal roles in it.

On Wednesday (01), Lage Raho Munna Bhai completed 15 years of its release and Dia Mirza took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the movie that how even after so many years, the film remains relevant.


She tweeted, “A film like 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' always remains relevant because of its theme. It is very rare that a film addresses really complicated societal issues in such a simple yet profound way. The questions that the film tackled in 2006 are still meaningful. @RajkumarHirani @VVCFilms.”

The actress further wrote, “The film shows how easy it is to bring people together, dissipate ignorance and create synergy, harmony and peace even in the most contentious situations. This is how we won our independence; with extraordinary resilience and idealism. @RajkumarHirani @VVCFilms. These values are timeless and can never be obsolete. Terms like 'Gandhigiri' and 'Get well soon" are now part of the popular lexicon forever because of this film. Proud to be a part of this amazing movie #15YearsOfLageRahoMunnabhai @RajkumarHirani @VVCFilms.”

Lage Rahi Munna Bhai was the second instalment in the Munna Bhai series. The first part Munna Bhai M.B.B.S was released in 2003. Fans Sanjay Dutt have been eagerly waiting for the third instalment of the movie.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
