Varun Dhawan and Shoojit Sircar Get Together For October. by Suhel Johar



Varun Dhawan, who will soon be seen with Taapsee Pannu and Jacqueline Fernandez on the silver screen in father David Dhawan's Judwaa 2, is all set to collaborate with filmmaker Shoojit Sircar for the first time in the film titled October.

The two were spotted recently outside Shoojit's office with reports indicating that they met up to discuss their upcoming project. Varun kept it simple in a V-neck tee and light blue jeans which he paired with a black cap. Shoojit was clicked escorting Varun to his car and even posed for the shutterbugs before zooming off.

If reports are to be believed then Varun Dhawan's forthcoming film October with Shoojit Sircar, is inspired by the Hollywood Oscar nominated film Her. The film that is centred around Varun's character revolves around an unusual love story which has never been seen before in Bollywood. Buzz is that much like the film Her, where a man falls in love with an interactive smart user interface voiced by a woman, this film will be slightly different and high on medical jargon. It is also reportedly being treated as an experiment that the makers want to undertake to strike a chord with the current generation.

 
Varun Dhawan is all set to romance a fresher in October. The film will be the launching pad of a new face – Banita Sandhu. The pretty and confident girl hails from Wales, United Kingdom and had featured in a popular tv commercial for Double Mint which was directed by Shoojit last year. The commercial shows a beautiful love story of a guy and a girl in India and the most beautiful part is the hit Kishore Kumar track from the 70s Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se that plays in the background.

Shoojit Sircar, who has mentored many successful actors including Yami Gautam and Ayushmann Khurrana said, “When it comes to the genre of romance, it is always beautiful to see a fresh pairing. Something about seeing their chemistry blossom through the reels of the film, makes you feel a part of their journey from the very beginning. For October, that was one of the main reasons why I chose Banita for the lead role opposite Varun.”

 
The film is expected to hit the screens on June 1, 2018, and the preparations are on in full swing.

Entertaining millions across the world, might be their core strength, but these celebs don't want to stop at that. While ditching the paparazzi and sizzling in front of the camera take up most of their time, many Bollywood A-listers have shown their hospitality business acumen too time and again. There is also a growing trend in the actors getting their own themed restaurants dedicated to them that are promoted by their businessman fans. The actors who lend their name to such franchises not only get an ego boost but also an equal share in the profits. The actors who don't have restaurants themed on them, well they are just opening their own by themselves!

Play Review - Ladies Sangeet by Suhel Johar

Image
Ladies Sangeet Is A Hard-Hitting Story Filled With Compassion, Sympathy And Trauma.   It was after quite some time that I got to go to Prithvi Theatre at Juhu, Mumbai. It’s always been such a pleasure to be there and soak in its soothing atmosphere. So when I was invited to watch the Hindi-English play Ladies Sangeet play I just couldn’t refuse. And was I happy or disappointed? Well it was a pleasure to sit through Ladies Sangeet and watch the play. Set in an urban Indian household Ladies Sangeet began with marriage preparations in a haveli or an ancestral home. Since music is an integral part of an Indian wedding celebration, it forms the backdrop of playwright – director Purva Naresh’s Hindi-English play Ladies Sangeet . Just before the event, various conflicts that have wound its members up over the years unspool. The multi-layered play explores gender dynamics and has as its core the conflicting issues between contemporary and tradionality. It raises some hardcore
