Actor Varun Badola, who plays a layered character in ‘Wrong Turn’, is happy that the teleplay will now be translated into Kannada and Telugu. Inspired by ‘Die Panne’ (The Breakdown), a 1956 novel by Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Ranjit Kapoor’s acclaimed teleplay ‘Wrong Turn’ produced by Zee Theatre is now being translated in Kannada and Telugu for audiences in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.
He said: “Because of dubbing, subtitling, and translations, multilingual stories are reaching more people than ever before. I have done two Tamil Ad films, but as an actor, I am looking forward to being a part of this shift and would love to work in many more regional narratives.”
In ‘Wrong Turn’, he plays Arun, a man who walks into an old house one rainy night after his car breaks down. Here, he meets three retired lawyers amusing themselves with a game that he agrees to join.

Jai Ho Democracy stars thespians from the National School of Drama and some of the best actors our country has ever had – Om Puri, Annu Kapoor, Seema Biswas, Adil Hussain and Satish Kaushik. Written and directed by Ranjit Kapoor, who also wrote the cult film Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, the satirical comedy’s trailer was launched today amidst much fanfare.
Jai Ho Democracy takes a comic look at how the powers-that-be continue to procrastinate and maintain status quo, unfazed by the gravity of the situations at hand. It also explores the funny side of how the media gets desperate in highlighting unworthy issues. It also gives a message of hope and a chance to peace between two neighbouring countries.

Mumbai, March 8: Annu Kapoor, who was applauded for convincingly playing Dr. Chaddha in "Vicky Donor" last year, describes himself as an "actor".
"I am choosy because what will I do until there is a good script? I am not a star, I am an actor. If an actor does not get to show his acting, then what will he do in a film," the 57-year-old said here Friday at the "muhurat" of his new film "Jai Ho Democracy".
Annu is all praise for the director of "Jai Ho Democracy" Ranjit Kapoor, who, he says, has brought together both entertainment and information in one film.
"It will be entertaining and informative. To make an informative.

Just when I thought Bollywood couldn't get any weirder, this appears in my Twitter feed.Chintu Ji is a 2009 Bollywood film starring Rishi Kapoor, the son of the greatest of all Bollywood legends, Raj Kapoor. Ndtv's Anupama Chopra did a fine job summarizing the film in her review, so I'm cribbing it:Written and directed by theatre director Ranjit Kapoor, Chintu ji is a part-factual, part-fictional story set in a small town called Hadbahedi. This is a Utopian town with no cell phones, one weekly newspaper and half an airport.But everyone lives in harmony because they follow the path of truth, non-violence and always listen to their hearts.Hadbahedi's only claim to fame is that Raj Kapoor happened to be visiting when his wife Krishna went into...

Movie Rewiew: Chintuji; Star Cast: Rishi Kapoor, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Kulraj Randhawa, Grusha Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Sophie Choudhry; Director: Ranjit Kapoor; Duration: 1 hour and 56 minutes; Rating: **
Chintuji, the title itself compels the admirers and non-admirers of the veteran actor to at least give it a shot despite the very evident lack of hype and promotions. Now let’s come out of the reel world and hit the reality. Chintuji is definitely not an out of box work. But the film promises to outshine for its simplistic nature. A mixture of simple yet beautiful story.
