According to latest media reports, leading Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is planning to rope in a South Indian director to direct her next film, which will start rolling right after she completes her period movie Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi.

Reportedly, the Tanu Weds Manu actress is considering noted filmmaker Prakash Rao Kovelamudi for her next production. Kovelamudi is the son of the distinguished Telugu filmmaker, K Raghavendra Rao and has called the shots for successful movies such as Bommalata, Anaganaga O Dheerudu and Size Zero.

The film which Kangana is planning with Prakash Rao is in the very initial stage and the National award-winning actress will start work on it in full force once her film Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi comes to an end.

Directed by Krish, Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi is being readied for April 27, 2018, release. The team is about to leave for Rajasthan to film the next schedule of the movie. Besides Kangana Ranaut, the historical film also features Sonu Sood, Ankita Lokhande and Atul Kulkarni in prominent roles.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
