Shahid Kapoor, who is currently busy shooting for the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial, Padmavati, with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, has reportedly been approached for a film which will be a social entertainer.
According to reports, Kapoor is in talks with KriArj Entertainment for a movie tentatively titled Roshni. Vipul K Rawal, the screenwriter of Rustom which helped Akshay Kumar win his first National Award, has scripted the movie.
A source revealed to a leading daily, "Prernaa Arora from KriArj Entertainment is likely to produce the film and it’s tentatively called ‘Roshini’. The production house is in talks with Shahid Kapoor. The script has been written by Rustom’s writer Vipul K. Rawal.”
Reports also suggest that Shree Narayan Singh, whose latest directorial Toilet Ek Prem Katha has taken the box office by storm by entering the coveted club of Rs. 100 crores without much efforts, will helm the project.
When asked about the same, Singh said to a leading entertainment website, “Yes, I am in talks with Shahid but not sure for which film. Right now, I am heading out for a break of 10 to 15 days. There is a script called Roshni written by Vipul but not sure that I would be directing it.”
As of now, Shahid has just heard the script. He might sign the project on the dotted lines after wrapping up his work for Padmavati in October.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
