Saiee Manjrekar set for South debut?

Saiee Manjrekar, the daughter of Mahesh Manjrekar and Megha Manjrekar, made her silver screen debut with Dabangg 3 (2019), co-starring superstar Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha. Though the cop drama did not set the cash registers jingling at the box-office, Saiee did receive good reviews for her debut performance in the movie.

There is no update on whether or not the young actress has signed any new Hindi film, but unlike many newcomers, Saiee Manjrekar is keeping her options open. Apart from Bollywood, she seems keen on exploring several regional film producing industries also.

The news is coming in that the actress has been approached for a few projects down south. According to reports, well-known Telugu filmmaker Kiran Korapatti has approached the newcomer for his next directorial offering. “The filmmakers recently narrated the script to Saiee, and she liked the premise as well as how her character pans out,” a source in the know informs a publication.

The source goes on to add that the actress is yet to sign any project on the dotted line. “Also, as her father has done several films in the South, Saiee felt this was a great opportunity for her to make a splash down south, too. However, she has not signed on the agreement yet.”

Reportedly, actor Varun Tej, who has several successful films to his credit, will also play a pivotal role in the untitled movie. An official announcement is awaited.

'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.
