Janhvi Kapoor begins work on Gunjan Saxena biopic

After winning millions of hearts with her debut performance in Shashank Khaitan’s critically and commercially successful film Dhadak (2018), newcomer Janhvi Kapoor has now started work on her second Bollywood offering.

In her second film, which is still untitled, Kapoor plays Gunjan Saxena, the first female IAF pilot who went all out to evacuate hundreds of injured soldiers from the Kargil war in 1999. Gunjan and her fellow lieutenant Srividya Rajan put their lives at stake and managed to save the lives of many wounded soldiers.


Earlier today, an image set the internet on fire. In the image, Janhvi is seen wearing a pair of IAF dungarees in blue. Her hair is slicked back in a tight bun with minimal make-up put on the face. Her look as Gunjan Saxena has gone viral and has certainly piqued our interest in the forthcoming film.

Just like Dhadak, this untitled project is also being bankrolled by Dharma Productions. Janhvi Kapoor’s third film Takht is also being made under the banner of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.

Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
