Renowned filmmaker Anurag Basu is gearing up to start shooting his next project, an original romantic film featuring Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri, from August 2024. This news comes as Basu concludes his work on another major project, paving the way for this new romantic saga.

According to PinkVilla, the upcoming romantic saga will be produced by Bhushan Kumar under the T-Series banner. The source revealed, “There is a change in place. Basu is teaming up with Kartik and Triptii on an original romantic film and not Aashiqui 3. The prep work has already begun, and a team led by Bhushan Kumar is already working on curating a music album that suits the world of this romantic saga.”

Kartik Aaryan has a busy slate ahead. He will be seen in Chandu Champion on June 14, where fans can witness his transformation. Following this, he will appear in the much-anticipated Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. After completing Anurag Basu’s romantic film, Kartik will move on to Vishal Bhardwaj’s next project, Arjan Ustara.

Following the completion of the untitled romantic saga, the report says that Basu will turn his attention to his long-awaited biopic on the legendary artist Kishore Kumar. The biopic is set to begin production by the end of 2025. “Kishore Kumar Biopic is currently in the script stage and will go on floors by the end of 2025 once Basu wraps up the yet-untitled romantic saga with Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri. It’s a story which Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Basu have been wanting to passionately share to the world and are closely working to lock the script. It will move into the casting stage soon,” the source concluded.

With these exciting projects lined up, Anurag Basu continues to be a dynamic force in Bollywood, bringing diverse and compelling stories to the screen. Fans eagerly await both the romantic saga and the biopic, anticipating another set of cinematic gems from the acclaimed director.

Sanya Malhotra starrer Mrs to close New York Indian Film Festival 2024

7 months ago0

Sanya Malhotra’s upcoming film, Mrs, is generating buzz on the festival circuit, emerging as a favourite for its exploration of domesticity and gender roles. The Hindi remake of the acclaimed Malayalam movie, The Great Indian Kitchen (2021), Mrs is directed by Arati Kadav and is set to be the closing film at the New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF) 2024.

Kadav expressed her excitement at having her film showcased at the festival. Speaking to Mid-day, she shared, “I look forward to the films screened at the NYIFF every year. So, I feel privileged that we’ve been chosen as the closing film. With this film, our aim is to connect with Indian audiences living not just in India, but also abroad, and this platform helps us reach the diaspora.”
Described as “exotically delicious,” Mrs uses the backdrop of Indian cuisine to delve deeper into the societal pressures placed on women. The synopsis paints a picture of a young dance teacher, Richa, who falls for a wealthy doctor, Diwakar. However, their happily ever after quickly sours as Richa finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage, expected to cook, clean, and cater to her husband’s whims. The synopsis cleverly uses culinary metaphors to depict the stifling nature of Richa’s situation, describing her life as “an overcooked and tasteless happily ever after laced with misogyny, arrogance, and stubbornness.” Despite the challenges, Richa doesn’t give up easily. The synopsis highlights her defiance, stating that “The kitchen has the solution to all problems. So, Richa cooks splendid dishes with love and dedication and refuses to yield to male dominance.”
The cast of Mrs boasts some promising talent. Sanya Malhotra takes on the lead role of Richa. Nishant Dahiya portrays Diwakar, the doctor who turns out to be a domineering husband. Rounding out the cast is Kanwaljit Singh, whose role remains undisclosed.
The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pammi Baweja, and Harman Baweja.
