Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor team up for Bhoot Police

Last year, it was announced that Saif Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh will be seen in a film titled Bhoot Police. The movie was supposed to be directed by Pavan Kirpalani and produced by Fox Star Studios.

However now, the producers and the cast have been changed. While Saif and Pavan are still a part of the film, it looks like Ali Fazal has been replaced by Arjun Kapoor. And the movie will now be produced by Ramesh Taurani and Akshai Puri.


Taurani took to Instagram to announce the film. He posted, “#SaifAliKhan & @arjunkapoor join the cast of 'Bhoot Police'! This spooky adventure comedy to go on floors by the end of this year. @tips in association with #12thStreetEntertainment presents #BhootPolice, Produced by @RameshTaurani & @akshaipuri, Directed by #PavanKirpalani. #ArjunKapoor.”

While talking to Mumbai Mirror, director Pavan Kirpalani stated, “We are excited to bring this spooky adventure-comedy and really happy to have Saif and Arjun join the team as they are a perfect fit for this crazy entertainer. Both of them will be seen in very different avatars and will bring their trademark humour to the script.”

We wonder if Fatima Sana Shaikh will be a part of the project or she will also be replaced by another actress.

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."
