Sharman Joshi, Ranjha Vikram Singh and Bidita Bag starrer Fauji Calling starts rolling

We have seen many films that revolve around war and the valour of the army. Now director Aaryan Saxena with his movie Fauji Calling is going to tell us the story about the families of martyred soldiers. The movie stars Sharman Joshi, Ranjha Vikram Singh, Bidita Bag, Mugdha Godse, and Zarina Wahab, and it was recently when the shooting of film kickstarted in Ranchi.

When the movie was announced, Sharman Joshi had said, “Fauji Calling is a film, I am really excited about. It’s a celebration or the acknowledgment of what the soldier contributes to our country and in effect, what would a soldier expect from the society towards him and his family. This is the script that I am really looking forward to work on and I am glad that we are now very close to start working on it.”


Ranjha Vikram, who plays a pivotal role in the film, said, “I chose to do Fauji Calling because during my school days, whenever anyone used to ask that what I want to become in life, I used to say I want to join Indian Army and be a soldier. I grew up watching Sylvester Stallon movies. When Aaryan narrated me his fantastic script, I felt emotional. Indian Army is according to me the best foot soldiers in the world. They are strong and very daring. God is kind that I got this kind of role in my career.”

Well, Fauji Calling surely seems to be interesting film.

Sumukhi Suresh says Hoemonal proves women back bold comedy on their own terms

Sumukhi Suresh Unfiltered: Why women deserve bigger stages as she brings a riskier 'Hoemonal' to London

Highlights:

  • Comedian-creator Sumukhi Suresh frames Hoemonal as a string of lived moments shaped by “hormones” rather than neat narratives.
  • The show has grown in scope since its last London run: larger venues, fuller ambitions and a clearer audience focus on women.
  • Sumukhi discusses risk, crafting unlikeable protagonists (Pushpavalli), founding Motormouth Writers and the practical demands of touring big productions.

Sumukhi Suresh opened Hoemonal by naming the show’s true co-star: hormones. The title, she says, is not a punchline. It works more like a container for all the loose, messy pieces of life that she threads together onstage — the doubts, the desires, the shifts in confidence, and the everyday disorder most women recognise but rarely hear spoken aloud.

Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of her London shows, Sumukhi Suresh is direct, thoughtful and quick with her humour, much like she is onstage.
