National award-winning make-up and prosthetics artiste Preetisheel Singh, who is working on Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s looks in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited period drama Padmavati, says she is trying to do something different with the looks in the film.
“Padmavati is set during the 12th century, and we don’t have paintings from that era from where we can take references,” she said in an interview to Scroll.in. So Preetisheel has gone ahead and photoshoped ideas before putting them into practice. She says, though it is an imaginative and time-consuming process, it’s not very difficult for her as she always tries to make the actor don a look that he or she hasn’t had before.
Now anyone who knows even a little bit about Preetisheel would agree to that. After all, she has made a lot of heads turn with her work...

As the time of Sanjay Dutt's release from jail approaches, those close to him including his wife have spread the word that he'd soon be available again to work in films. However, Mrs. Maanyata Dutt has apparently instructed Sanjay Dutt's marketing team to let it be known to producers that the post-incarcerated actor won't be available to play negative roles. Hence the news that Dutt is opting out of Karan Johar's Shuddhi when in fact, he was never offered the role. A friend of the Dutt family reveals, "Sanju opting out of Shuddhi is the actor's family's way of letting the world know he won't do negative roles. His image building machinery won't allow him. Sanju was never offered Shuddhi." As Sanjay prepares for post-release, positive roles are being whipped for the actor by 3 friendly directors Raj Kumar Hirani, Umesh Shukla and Sanjay Gupta who have scripts ready for Dutt.

Family and friends of Sanjay Dutt are getting ready for the end of his incarceration in October this year. And director Umesh Shukla of Omg Oh My God fame has already signed Dutt for a film that he will make as soon as Dutt is released. Earlier it was Raj Kumar Hirani who was supposed to helm Dutt's first-post incarceration film. Hirani was also supposed to helm a bio-pic on Sanjay Dutt. According to sources that plan is now on hold indefinitely. Confirming these developments Umesh Shukla says, "I met Sanjay Dutt two days before he returned to prison. And he loved the subject that I narrated to him. We now need to work out the details after he is released." Shukla says the film he plans with Dutt is not an actioner. "It is a human drama, not about muscles but emotions." Shukla will make the film next year.

After going through a gallery of leading ladies in speculative and totally unfounded news reports, it is Asin who has been finalized to play the lead opposite Abhishek Bachchan in Bhushan Kumar's tentatively titled film Mere Apne. The film is being directed by Umesh Shukla, whose debut work Omg Oh My God, on ritualistic religiosity created quite a stir across the country. This time again Umesh tackles a thorny issue. Rishi Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan were signed to play father and son some months ago. The leading lady's slot remained vacant with names as far-ranging as Kareena Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor being thrown around. The director firmly denied approaching these ladies. Asin has finally been roped in to play what is being seen as an "important dramatic role". Asin and Abhishek have an interesting history. They were supposed to star together in Ashutosh Gowariker's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se.

For the first time in their respective careers, the Big B and Abhishek Bachchan are all set to swap their dates to accommodate the dates of the actor common to their two projects, both starring Rishi Kapoor. This, so that Rishi can do Umesh Shukla's film with Abhishek Bachchan. Says a source, "Umesh Shukla is very keen to cast Rishi Kapoor as Abhishek's father in his social comedy. But this film starts in July. Rishi doesn't have time before November. So they're trying to shift Rishi's dates for Mehrunissa with the Big B to later during the year to accommodate Umesh's film with Rishi and Abhishek. So father and son Bachchan are basically swapping dates to accommodate Rishi." Says Umesh, "Yes, Rishiji and Abhishek are on. Their characterization and character graphs are very strong. In fact we will complete the film this year itself. I am now in the sixth draft of my script.

Umesh Shukla the director of Omg Oh My God, one of 2012's most influential social dramas, is all set to direct a political thriller which would star Sonakshi Sinha and her brother Luv Sinha, though not as siblings. Umesh, whose last film blew the lid off ritualistic religion, declines to call the Sonakshi- Luv Sinha a family film. "I don't work that way. I don't make films to accommodate actors. The film with Sonakshi and Luv is not going to be a vehicle to spotlight the Sinha family. And it certainly won't star the other members of the family, Shatruji and Punamji. I selected Sonakshi and Luv because they suit the parts." Umesh says he still has to crack the film's climax. But before that he has another film Mere Apne to start. "This is a social satire with Abhishek Bachchan in the lead. I will be starting this film...
