Subhash Ghai confirms reunion with Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai is known as the showman of Hindi cinema, whose filmography boasts of several blockbusters. One of the most successful films of his career is Ram Lakhan (1989), starring an ensemble cast of Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia in lead roles.

The filmmaker has now picked two actors from his classic film and is planning a new project with them. Yes, we are talking about Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor. Ghai has signed the two actors for his next, but the new film is not a sequel to the 1989 superhit. Rather, the forthcoming project is an original crime-comedy with a message. It has been titled Ram Chand Kishan Chand.


Confirming the same, Subhash Ghai told a newswire, "It's not a sequel. I have narrated the story of Ram Chand Kishan Chand to Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor. They have liked the story, plot and characters. Now we have to complete the script and do our best. They share fantastic chemistry.”

Spilling some beans on the plot of the film, Ghai said, "It's a hilarious crime story with a message. It is about a good cop and a bad cop in their fifties, from two different states of India.”

The filmmaker will be signing a young director to helm the upcoming project. Ghai will be the creative producer. If all goes well, Ram Chand Kishan Chand will start rolling in the first quarter of 2020.

"I will be the creative producer, and the film will be made under the Mukta Arts banner. I look forward to seeing these two together in this blockbuster," concluded Ghai.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
