Shekhar Kapur’s next with Kangana Ranaut?

When two talented people come together for a film, it is unquestionably worth watching.

Lately, during the ongoing International Film Festival of India 2017 (IFFI), Shekhar Kapur conducted a session with Sushant Singh Rajput, the veteran filmmaker spoke about directing a movie for Kangana.

He specified, "I am desperate to make another film in India. I want to come home and make a film. When I made 'Masoom', nobody was expecting anything from me. I wasn't expecting anything from myself. It is a terrible space for a filmmaker to be in."

Shekhar also told about the script, "I am currently writing the script. It is a beautiful script."

A report has it, the movie is a heartwarming tale where Kangana might essay the role of an 85-year-old lady on the big screen. He had also said that the film will have the same feels which his iconic film Masoom had. But, it will not be a continuation of that movie.

Sushant Singh Rajput signs another biopic of Paralympic gold medallist!

Sushant Singh Rajput has been signed for yet another biopic before his movie on Indian cricket team captain M. S Dhoni has even hit the silver screen. The actor will be seen essaying the role of Paralympic gold medallist Murlikant Petkar.

The movie which is tentatively titled Murli - The Unsung Hero will be scripted by the movie journalist turned scriptwriter Prashant Singh. The writer also disclosed that it was Petkar who suggested him to rope in Sushant since Murlikant is a huge fan of the actor. Sushant who is equally thrilled about this journey gave a nod to this project because he thinks the movie will be an inspiration to many. For the uninitiated, from EME jawan of the Indian National Army to a boxer to a Paralympic winner, the journey of Murlikant has been filled with several stories of courage. He was once also shot by seven bullets during the 1965 war against Pakistan and he survived the injuries. But, a bullet which is still stuck in his spine made him paraplegic and yet, Murlikant did not give up and went on to win a gold medal at Paralympics.

Murli - The Unsung Hero is said to be presented by Shekhar Kapur and is slated to go on floor in mid-2017.
