Mumbai, Dec 7 (Ians) Filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria’s ‘Sanaa’ has revealed that the film is inspired by the #MeToo realities. Taking inspiration from the #MeToo movement of 2018, the filmmaker made ‘Sanaa’ with a storyline centred on a woman in Mumbai confronting her past, while highlighting the inequality and abuse that women face in their everyday lives.
Sudhanshu said: “It all began with wanting to talk about how men and women are treated so differently in our society, especially women dealing with the label of being perfect. I believe it was also the #MeToo movement that truly pushed me to make this film.”
“Hearing stories of survivors made me realise how men and women have vastly different experiences, even though they grow up and live in the same environment and under similar circumstances.”

The cast and crew members of a web series titled "Fixer" on Wednesday claimed they were attacked by a group of men.
The incident was narrated in a video shared on Twitter by actor-filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia, who features in the ALTBalaji series.
Actress Mahie Gill, producer Sakett Saawhney, director Soham Shah and other technicians can be seen in the video.
Dhulia told a publication: "Four to five drunk men walked in with sticks and started beating up crew members. At first I thought people are just having fun, but soon after a few seconds I realised that it was serious. I saw our cameraman bleeding, director on the ground... It was mayhem."
The filmmaker conjectured the men were from a rival group who also control the area, though the production had proper permission and had paid the location fee.
The shoot was going on at a factory in Mira Road in Thane district.

There are two things that all Bollywood productions need more often: Female leads that don’t require A-list male costars to save, love, or complete them, and thoughtful, loophole-free screenplays that don’t feel like they were slapped together moments before the director called the shot.
Three people can be counted on to deliver rectify these shortcomings: Writer duo Hansal Mehta and Apoorva Ansaria (whose handling of sensitive subject matter in their previous “Aligarh” and “CityLights” was both astute and engaging) and Kangana Ranaut (self-proclaimed feminist, star of 2013’s girl power-championing “Queen,” and easily one of the most fearless, mature actresses in the industry today). But their much-awaited collaboration, “Simran,” only fulfills part of the promise.
The film wastes no time getting started on the female-centric angle, opening with the introduction of Praful Patel (Ranaut), a bumbling 30-year-old divorcee who has grudgingly moved back in with her cash-strapped parents and...

Kangana Ranaut is back at it again! The much awaited teaser of Hansal Mehta's Simran was finally released and honestly, the movie feels like such a great change! After a much appreciated performance in the period drama Rangoon, seems like Kangana Ranaut is back to win us over in her simple and funny girl next door avatar as Simran! From what we could make of the movie, Simran is about a girl who settles abroad. The entire teaser showed us Kangana in all her comic and goofy madness and why wouldn't the makers focus on anything else, given Kangana is the lead star of the film! The movie, which will be releasing on 15th September 2017, will see Kangana play a Gujarati character, who follows her aims in a city abroad. As the director himself tweeted, Simran will give you the much needed Monday motivation and trust us,the teaser definately will!

The news that Sanjay Dutt first starts work on Siddharth Anand's action film now only appears premature but also wrong. Apparently Dutt has vowed to first complete his protege Soham Shah's long-pending film Sher which went into a limbo after Dutt's incarceration. The film which also stars Vivek Oberoi and Humaima Mallick was as good as shelved after its producer Shri Asthavinayak got itself into a financial and legal tangle. Says a source in the know, "Dutt is first committed to finish Soham's film because Soham's career has come to a standstill. He has seven films lined up after his release from jail. But Siddharth Anand's project is not one of them."...

If there's one production house that is being absolutely generous these days, then, it has to be none other than Pritish Nandy Communications (Pnc). At first, it gave away its title of Dishkiyaoon to Shilpa Shetty's maiden production venture last year. And this year, they have given the title of Talwar to Meghna Gulzar for her film on the infamous Aarushi murder case. Readers may recall that Meghna Gulzar's film was earlier titled as Nyodda, which later, she got it changed to Talwar, a title which was initially registered with Pnc. Speaking about the same, Pnc's Rangita Nandy said that, when Meghna Gulzar found another producer (Junglee Pictures) to make the said film, they supported her by giving her the title. Talwar stars Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Konkana Sen Sharma, Soham Shah and Neeraj Kabi.

Anees Bazmee's Welcome Back, the sequel to Welcome, has finally found a heroine. First it was Sonakshi Sinha who was almost on. Then there was insistent talk of Asin bagging the role.
But it's Kamal Haasan's daughter Shruti Haasan who has finally bagged the role opposite John.
Shruti, who had a tame luckless beginning in Hindi films with Soham Shah's dud Luck opposite Imran Khan, seems poised for a second inning in Bollywood after her two back-to-back antithetical much-appreciated roles in Ramaiya Vastavaiya and D-Day.
Says Anees, "Yes, we've signed Shruti finally. She seems to be the right choice for the role opposite John. I wanted someone pretty spontaneous and with good comic timing. Shruti has all of this."
About Sonakshi and Asin, Anees says, "Asin was only under consideration. We never got down to signing her. So I don't know how news of her bagging the role got out.

Mumbai, Jan 5: Versatile actor Kamal Haasan is proud of the fact that his daughter Shruti Haasan has carved a niche for herself in the showbiz industry, without the support of father.
"I am very glad I didn't launch her. I want her to walk back home as a star. As a father right from the beginning I wanted her to make her own way and I should not have a hand in that," Haasan said.
"I want her to be known as a talent and she succeeded on her own and then I will have two stars (Kamal and Shruti) under one banner," he added.
Shruti forayed in Bollywood with Soham Shah's "Luck" and was later seen in "Dil Toh Baccha Hai.

Karan Johar never quite hid his displeasure when some of his proteges decided to break away from his production house after enjoying a high profile launch. Some of the most notable instances were that of Soham Shah and Nikhil Advani who decided to move on after making Kaal and Kal Ho Na Ho. 'Once bitten twice shy' could well be the filmmaker's 'mantra' as is obvious in the professional ties that he is sharing with his newer bunch of directors. No wonder, both Karan Malhotra and Shakun Batra, directors of Agneepath and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu respectively, are contractually bound to make three films with him. "He is a great mentor and gives freedom to newer bunch of directors. In fact he is the only independent filmmaker other than big guns like Chopras who has already launched the career of a dozen odd directors. However, he has to...
