Multi-starrer Mission Mangal preponed to 9th August?

If you were waiting to watch the Akshay Kumar starrer Mission Mangal with a lot of anticipation, here is good news for you. Buzz has it that the makers of the multi-starrer may prepone the release date of the film.

The movie, which began its principal photography in November 2018, was set to arrive on Indian Independence Day (15th August), but the latest we hear that it will now hit the marquee on 9th August.


“The makers of Mission Mangal are thinking of preponing the film and looking forward to release the film on August 9, 2019, instead. Since there are three releases on Independence Day – John Abraham‘s Batla House, Mission Mangal and Prabhas’ multilingual Saaho – and none of them has budged as of now, the makers are planning to prepone by a week. They plan to make the official announcement shortly,” a source close to the development reveals.

Mission Mangal revolves around scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation, who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission, which marked India's first interplanetary expedition. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari and Sharman Joshi in important roles.

Directed by Jagan Shakti, Mission Mangal is produced by Cape of Good Films, Hope Productions and Fox Star Studios.

'The Social Reckoning' review: Aaron Sorkin’s Facebook sequel turns the algorithm into the villain

Highlights

  • The Social Reckoning revisits the world of Facebook 16 years after The Social Network
  • Aaron Sorkin turns his attention to misinformation, extremism and the consequences of Facebook’s algorithms
  • Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White lead the film as whistleblower Frances Haugen and journalist Jeff Horwitz
  • Jeremy Strong plays Mark Zuckerberg in a deliberately unusual performance
  • The film makes a strong case against Facebook while sometimes leaning into Sorkin’s trademark self-righteous dialogue

Aaron Sorkin returns to the world of Facebook with The Social Reckoning, but this time the story is less interested in how the social media giant was created and more concerned with what it has become.

Sixteen years after Sorkin wrote The Social Network, the filmmaker returns as both writer and director for a whistleblower thriller centred on former Facebook data engineer Frances Haugen and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz. Mikey Madison plays Haugen, while Jeremy Allen White takes on the role of Horwitz.
