Supremely talented actor Rajkummar Rao had revealed a couple of days back that he's teaming up with the gorgeous Shraddha Kapoor for an untitled horror-comedy film. Well, the movie is not untitled anymore as the makers have decided to call it Stree.

Rao, who was last seen in Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, took to his Twitter handle to announce the news. “We have a title! Shoot starts on our horror-comedy #Stree. Exciting schedule ahead! @ShraddhaKapoor. Directed by Amar Kaushik Written by Raj&DK Produced by Dinesh Vijan, Raj&DK,” he tweeted. It will be the first time when the award-winning actor joins hands with Shraddha for a film.


Talking about Shraddha Kapoor's role in the movie, a source mentioned, "Shraddha will play a small town girl with a mystery surrounding her character. It’s a unique role and in a zone that the actress has not attempted before. She has really liked the script and gave her approval last week."

"Shraddha will start her prep for Dinesh’s film after she wraps up Saaho. The film will go on the floors in January," added the source.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan, Stree will be helmed by Amar Kaushik. The film is expected to release in the later part of 2018.

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."
