Sooraj Pancholi to play an army officer in his next

Actor Sooraj Pancholi, who is currently shooting for his second Bollywood film Time To Dance, has signed a new movie. The young actor will play an army officer in the upcoming untitled film, which will be helmed by National Film Award-winning director Irfan Kamal.

Murad Khetani, who has earlier produced the Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor starrer Mubarakan (2017), is bankrolling the project.


Talking about his movie and Pancholi’s character in it, the producer says, “It is a human story of a soldier set against the backdrop of a travelogue. Sooraj’s character will go from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. We will launch a new girl opposite him.”

Sooraj will start preparing for his role right after completing Time To Dance, which is being shot in London. He will undergo combat training to get into the skin of his character. To look like an army man, he will also get himself a military cut.

Sooraj Pancholi, who is the son of seasoned Bollywood actor Aditya Pancholi, made his acting debut with the 2015 film Hero. Produced by Salman Khan, the film did not do well at the cash counter. We hope his upcoming ventures help him gain a footing in the industry.

  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
