A source close to the project informs an entertainment portal, “SLB has spent over a year to create Sukoon. Like all his films, he is aiming for perfection and his vision to come to life with every chord and verse of the song. The album will see an exceptional collaboration of some of the best musicians and notable singers of our industry. This will indeed be a most memorable one for us in 2021 as he celebrates 25 years in cinema.”

On the film front, Bhansali is presently busy with the post-production work of his much-awaited film Gangubai Kathiawadi. The period drama, starring Alia Bhatt in the titular role, has faced several setbacks due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

It was originally set to enter theatres in 2020, but the pandemic threw a wrench into the works and the makers had to postpone its release t0 2021. But the second wave of the pandemic in 2021 threw all plans into total disarray. The makers are yet to announce the new release date of the film.

The filmmaker will next direct Baiju Bawra. According to reports, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt are set to play the lead pair in the musical. More details on the high-profile film are expected to arrive soon.

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."
