Some stories take years to reach the screen. Asghar Wajahats Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai took nearly four decades. Written in 1989, the acclaimed play has now been adapted into Rajkumar Santoshis Batwara 1947, with Sunny Deol in the lead and Shabana Azmi playing the elderly Hindu woman who refuses to leave her Lahore home. The long wait, however, had less to do with the story and more to do with the sheer scale of Santoshis cinematic vision. Speaking about why the screen adaptation took so long to materialise, Wajahat reveals that Santoshi was never interested in making a straightforward, modest adaptation of the play. The filmmaker wanted to recreate the world of Partition with a strong sense of realism. However, that ambition demanded substantial financial backing, which the project did not easily attract. Santoshi wanted to make a film according to his own concept, says the 80-year-old scholar, novelist and playwright to Bollywood Hungama. His concept was that he really wanted to create reality, real life. Like a train is moving with the immigrants. All these things had to happen. More funds were required for it. It took a lot of time because the funding was a little difficult. The project remained Santoshis passion project for years. It gathered momentum only in 2024, when Aamir Khan came on board to produce it. The next challenge was to translate the stage play into a mainstream theatrical film that could recreate the upheaval of Partition without losing the soul of the original story. Having previously adapted his play godse@gandhi.com into Santoshis 2023 film Gandhi Godse - Ek Yudh, Wajahat knows that a stage play and a feature film have completely different storytelling grammars. When you convert theatre or stage play into a film script, there are some requirements and possibilities in the film. There are some things that can come out well in the film. The shots that are very emotional and intense have to be added when you make a film script. In theatre, because there is a stage and people are watching, the one sitting at the back will see more of the action. So the play is more based on action than on face expressions. Face expressions don't matter much in theatre. Action and dialogue delivery are more important there, Wajahat says, explaining the differences between the two storytelling mediums. He points specifically to the death sequence in the climax of Batwara 1947 as an example of what cinema can achieve that the stage cannot. There is a death scene in this film. The death scene is very powerful in the film. But it couldn't be as powerful in the play. Wajahat says Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai was built around three key ideas, and those concerns have remained intact in Batwara 1947. First was the cross-cultural understanding. There are people from two different cultures, but even then they are coming closer to each other. Because they are human beings, reveals the playwright. Secondly, humanity is above religion, caste, creed, and nationality. Humanity is superior and above everything. The third concern was that there should be a liberal attitude. Religion is really very human. There is also the issue of co-existence. You should respect each other. You should respect the other religion. These were the major concerns why the play was written. Over more than six decades of creative writing, Wajahat has published more than 30 books and written dozens of short stories, full-length plays and street plays. He wrote Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai in 1989, when he was teaching literature and mass communication at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi. Speaking about where the idea for the play came from, he recalls Garam Hawa, M.S. Sathyus 1973 film starring Balraj Sahni, which dealt with the plight of a North Indian Muslim businessman and his family in the aftermath of the 1947 Partition. In Garam Hawa, there was a similar kind of old lady. She refuses to go to Pakistan. I had also read somewhere about an old person who refused to migrate. There are many such instances. All these experiences come together, and you conceive a character, Wajahat says, revealing that Shabana Azmis character in Batwara 1947 is loosely modelled on the elderly matriarch in Garam Hawa, who fiercely refuses to leave her ancestral home for Pakistan. Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and starring Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta and Karan Deol, Batwara 1947 released in theatres on August 14, 2026.

Parvathy Thiruvothu lends her voice to Kareena Kapoor Khans Ajooni in Malayalam version of Daayra
Actor Parvathy Thiruvothu is all set to lend her voice to Kareena Kapoor Khans character, Ajooni, in the Malayalam version of Daayra. The collaboration marks Parvathys foray into voice acting, adding a new dimension to her already celebrated body of work across Indian cinema. Inspired by true events, Daayra is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Meghna Gulzar and written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar. The film stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead roles and is set to release in cinemas on September 18, 2026. For Parvathy, the opportunity is particularly special as it marks the beginning of her journey into voice acting. Known for choosing layered and challenging characters throughout her career, Parvathy brings her distinctive voice and performance sensibility to Ajooni, while staying true to the essence of Kareena Kapoor Khans original portrayal. Speaking about the experience, Parvathy Thiruvothu said, Working on Daayra was a dream come true, mainly as somebody who has been aspiring to do voice acting for the longest time, dreaming about it, and always thought that the best opportunities in voice acting would come with animation films or some such. But it was such a pleasant surprise to get this opportunity to begin this journey for me by portraying Ajooni for Kareena. And adding to that is the fact that it is a Meghna Gulzar movie, and that it's a movie that would stay with us for like the longest time after watching. It's an extremely impactful work as a character as well. The Malayalam version of Daayra is being created to make the films story accessible to audiences in Kerala while retaining the emotional depth and intent of the original. Parvathys association adds an authentic Malayalam voice to Ajooni, allowing the character to connect with audiences in the region while preserving the nuances of Kareena Kapoor Khans performance. With this collaboration, Parvathy continues to explore new dimensions as a performer. She will next be seen in Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar, releasing on September 11, followed by her upcoming projects, including the HRX and Prime Video series Storm.

Priyadarshan on why he hates making comedy movies; says, Hera Pheri made my life miserable
Filmmaker Priyadarshan is known for delivering some of Bollywoods most popular comedies, but the director has revealed that the genre was never his preferred choice. Ahead of the release of his upcoming film Haiwaan, Priyadarshan opened up about his journey in Hindi cinema, his association with comedy and his decision to return to serious storytelling. Priyadarshan began his Bollywood career with Muskurahat, a drama, before Gardish and Virasat established him as a filmmaker capable of handling serious subjects. However, the success of Hera Pheri in 2000 changed the trajectory of his Hindi film career and strongly influenced how audiences perceived him. I started with serious films. Gardish worked for me, Virasat worked for me. Then Hera Pheri made my life miserable. After that, it was just comedy, comedy, and comedy. To be honest, I hate shooting comedies, Priyadarshan said in an interview with Hindustan Times. Between 2001 and 2021, the filmmaker directed 20 Hindi films, with 16 of them being comedies. Even films such as Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Billu featured substantial elements of humour. His Hindi comeback, Bhooth Bangla, was also a horror-comedy. Priyadarshan now wants to move away from the expectation of having a recognisable filmmaking formula. Explaining his approach, he said, Now, I have realised I can shoot films with humour and stories that have humour, instead of just joke after joke. He added that he prefers situational humour and does not rely on gags or separate comedy tracks. The filmmaker also stressed that he does not want to develop a fixed Priyadarshan signature. When you make so many films in the same genre, you need a change. A lot of directors have a signature. But I dont want that, he said. Haiwaan, a remake of Priyadarshans 2016 Malayalam film Oppam, stars Saif Ali Khan as a blind man and Akshay Kumar as a killer. Boman Irani, who has previously worked with Priyadarshan, praised his kinetic filmmaking style and said the director keeps both the camera and audience constantly engaged. The psychological thriller also features Shriya Pilgaonkar, Saiyami Kher, Rajpal Yadav, Sharib Hashmi, Rajesh Sharma, Manoj Joshi and Jisshu Sengupta. Mohanlal will make a cameo, while the film marks the final screen appearance of late actor Asrani. Produced by KVN Productions and Thespian Films, Haiwaan is scheduled to release in theatres on September 11.

It proves that true conviction and powerful storytelling always triumph over massive budget films at the box office.

Ram Kapoor recalls fathers death due to cancer: I was super thrilled that his pain was over
Ram Kapoor has opened up about his fathers prolonged battle with cancer and the emotional circumstances surrounding his death. The actor revealed that while losing a parent is deeply painful, he experienced a sense of relief after his father passed away because he was no longer suffering. Speaking about the difficult period, Ram recalled how distressing it was to watch his fathers health deteriorate. He explained that cancer had caused immense physical and mental suffering, leaving the family to deal with severe pain and hallucinations. It was not easy. Cancer is a very bad way to go. Its a very bad disease. Sometimes hes in severe pain, sometimes hes hallucinating, sometimes hes So I had to deal with all of that he said, in conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit. The Kasam Se actor said that despite the emotional difficulty, he wanted to ensure that his father retained his dignity during his final days. Ram recalled that his father had lived like royalty and that he wanted him to leave the world as a noble. Remembering the moment of his fathers death, Ram said, I was super thrilled that his pain was over. So, in that process, I was happy about the death. I was smiling at the death. So, when you start smiling at death, how can you fear it? So, now its a joke to me. Ram also acknowledged that his decision to stand by his father during his final days came with a personal cost. His choice reportedly created an emotional divide within his family, with his mother and sister not speaking to him for five years. The actor, however, said he has no regrets about his decision. He believes supporting his father at the end of his life was the right thing to do. Ram also revealed that he had honoured his fathers wishes by keeping the family unaware that his pancreatic cancer had returned and that the treatment was no longer working.

Rajkumar Hirani has offered a major update on one of the most awaited potential sequels in Hindi cinema. The filmmaker recently spoke to ANI about 3 Idiots 2, revealing that the story for the follow-up is currently being written. More importantly, Hirani confirmed that the much-loved original cast of Aamir Khan, R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Kareena Kapoor Khan will return for the sequel. Speaking about the progress of the film, Hirani said, Kahani likhi jaa rahi hai (The story is being written), we are still writing. Once it reaches the right point, then we will talk about it. Abhi toh (Right now) we are still writing. Casting will be the same. Hirani also revealed that the story was not originally conceived as a sequel to 3 Idiots. According to the filmmaker, the idea emerged while he and his team were working on another story. He explained, Abhi jo likh raha hoon voh bhi nahi socha ki sequel ke hisaab se likh raha hoon. Hum koi aur kahani likh rahe the phir aisa laga ki jo likh di hai voh iss second part par fit ho jayegi (Even the story I am writing right now was not being written with the intention of making a sequel. We were writing another story and then felt that what we had written could fit into this second part). Drawing a parallel with the Munna Bhai franchise, Hirani said that the sequel to Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. also came together without an initial intention to make another film. Munna Bhai ka bhi jab sequel banaya tha, voh koi intention nahi tha banaen ka. Agar aap uss waqt ko yaad kare toh uss time par belief was that sequels dont work. Pehle jitne sequels bane the kabhi nahi chale (When we made the sequel to Munna Bhai, there was no intention to make one. If you remember that time, the belief was that sequels did not work because the earlier sequels that had been made had never succeeded), he added. Released in 2009, 3 Idiots became a cultural phenomenon, with its characters, dialogues and themes continuing to remain popular years later. The film also made a significant impact internationally and became one of the most widely recognised Hindi films in overseas markets, particularly in countries such as China, Japan and South Korea. With Hirani now working on the story and the original cast expected to reunite, 3 Idiots 2 has already become one of the most anticipated projects for fans of the franchise.

Sonal Chauhan is set to enter the world of Mirzapur: The Movie as Mumtaz Bibi. At the films album launch in Mumbai, the actress opened up about her experience of joining the popular gangster drama and admitted that she initially felt nervous about stepping into a franchise with several established and iconic characters. I was very excited when I first learned that I was becoming a part of the world of Mirzapur: The Movie. But at the same time, it was a very daunting experience. There are a lot of iconic characters in Mirzapur who have already built a relationship with the audience and with me, because even I was an audience before entering this world now. So, I was a bit nervous, but what makes it a standout is our director who brings special focus to every character and does not differentiate between them. I was super excited and happy that Puneet Krishna and Gurmeet Singh saw me as Mumtaz Bibi. I had a great time shooting. I want to say a big thanks to Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar and Excel Entertainment for making me a part of Mirzapur, shared Sonal. Sonal also spoke about filming the song Ghum Ghum, which involved shooting for three days in cold weather and difficult conditions. Despite the challenges, she said the experience was enjoyable, especially because she was working alongside some familiar faces from the franchise. Shooting this song was fun, but it was equally challenging. Those three days of shooting came with challenging weather and extreme conditions. But I had some iconic people with me, so it was definitely fun. And now, the song is all for the audience. I just hope they like it. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment. The film features Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Abhishek Banerjee, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Ravi Kishan, Jitendra Kumar, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Rasika Dugal, among others.
