Sara Ali Khan rejects Udham Singh biopic?

After making her smashing debut with Kedarnath (2018) and delivering a ₹ 200 crore film with the very next release Simmba (2018), Sara Ali Khan has become the latest toast of B-town. In the last couple of months, she has been offered more than a dozen projects, but the newcomer is yet to confirm her association with any of them.

The latest we hear that Sara was offered the female lead in acclaimed filmmaker Shoojit Sircar’s next directorial venture which features rising star Vicky Kaushal in the role of revered freedom fighter Udham Singh. However, the actress is believed to have turned down the offer.


According to reports, Sara Ali Khan did not take up the project as she thinks she will be overshadowed by Vicky Kaushal in the movie.

The newcomer is reportedly working with Imtiaz Ali on a film rumoured to be the second instalment of Love Aaj Kal (2008). Kartik Aaryan is playing the male lead in it.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
