Kiara Advani is surely on a roll. She has some amazing films like Kabir Singh, Good News, Shershaah and Laxmmi Bomb in her kitty and now, she has been roped in to star in a movie titled Indoo Ki Jawani. The movie will be produced by Emmay Entertainment and co-produced by Niranjan Iyengar and Ryan Stephen. Bengali writer-filmmaker Abir Sengupta will make his Bollywood directorial debut with this film.

An excited Kiara Advani tweeted, “#IndooKiJawani My first In and As?  So excited to collaborate with @EmmayEntertain @nikkhiladvani @monishaadvani @madhubhojwani @ashesinwind @ryanmstephen #AbirSengypta for the first time & it had to be as special as Indoo❤️we need all your love & support for this one??"


The movie is about Indoo Gupta, played by Kiara, a feisty girl from Ghaziabad and how her life changes thanks to the left and right swipes she does on a dating app.

Talking about the film, Kiara said, "Indoo is edgy, lovable and quirky. It's really exciting and relevant because the story is set in today's time. This is a special script and Nikkhil (Advani) and I were meant to do it together. I can't wait to start shooting the film."

Indoo Ki Jawani will start rolling in September this year. Kiara was last seen on the big screen in Kalank in which she had an exctended cameo.

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."
