Kangana, Sandeep Singh come together for unnamed mega-budget film for 2024
Mumbai– National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut and filmmaker Sandeep Singh, who’s in the news for a bunch of upcoming films, from ‘Swatantryaveer Savarkar’ to ‘Saharasri’ and ‘Tipu’, are coming together to launch a film soon.
Neither of them disclosed much about the film, saying that its title and director will be released soon.
Announcing her collaboration with Sandeep Singh, Kangana, whose next film, ‘Emergency’, is in post-production, said: “Sandeep and I have been friends for over 13 years and have been wanting to do a film for a long time. Now, as we have found the right subject and the role we are all set to roll out soon, it is going to be the biggest film of my career and a fantastic role.”
Sandeep Singh said he had been “eagerly waiting to work with [Kangana] for over a decade”.
He added: “The films I offered her earlier did not match up to her calibre as an actress. Thus, I waited for the right one to come my way. It was a challenge to find a good script keeping Kangana’s acting prowess in mind. Now, I have a meaty subject that only she can do, so I instantly got in touch with her. And this time she could not say no.
“This film will be loved by every Indian across the globe. I am grateful to Kangana for taking our friendship a step forward and giving me the privilege to bring our association to fruition.”
The film’s title and director will be announced soon. It will hit the floors early next year.

Mumbai– Ahead of the first single ‘Tum Kya Mile’ from ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, filmmaker Karan Johar penned a heartfelt note and dedicated the song to his ‘guru’ Yash Chopra.
Sharing a working still from the song, KJo wrote: “In a few hours #tumkyamile will be yours … I remember at the very onset my instinct was that I wanted to film a love song that would unabashadley pay homage to my guru Yash Chopra.”
Continuing in the same vein, he added: “The thinking evolved mind would say ‘you can’t match it or even dare to emulate it’, but the fan boy and the ardent lover of snow, chiffons, the stunning locations of Kashmir and sheer romance got the better of me … .
“Pritam Dada and I yearned for a song for the ages from the ages and it had it be unapologetic or it wouldn’t be true … My deepest gratitude to Vaibhavi Merchant who got the Memo better than I did and completely took charge. Being a Yash Chopra lover herself … she gave her heart to our song…”
He also noted: “This is also the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her angel and I remain in apology for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons … in sympathy I fell drastically ill through the shoot (a karmic punishment perhaps). Ranveer was nervous as this was his first lip sync mountain love song but he was a real trooper … So we are back to the valleys for a ishq wala lip sync chiffon saree song … I hope you feel the love as much as we felt the cold … This one’s for you Yash uncle … Your fan forever, Karan.”
Composed by Pritam, penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and crooned by Arijit Singh, song features Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. It will be out on June 29.

Avika Gor to have a working birthday this year on two different sets
Mumbai– Actress Avika Gor, who will be turning 26 on Friday, will be having a working birthday on two different sets.
“I am shooting for two projects, so two different sets, two different celebrations with my units. It’s going to be exciting and constructive unlike other birthdays where I just chill and have fun with family and friends. This time I am going to be focusing on my work and give my best with every shot,” she said.
A birthday ritual that she follows every year is to spend as much time as possible with her family.
“I try to do that every year. If I am not with my family, I am on one hour-long video calls with them. Other ritual is very lame but I am obsessed with two minute instant noodles so my cake is never a chocolate or black forest cake, my cake is always a maggie cake so that’s what I do since many years now,” she shared, adding that age is just a number.
Sharing one of her most memorable birthdays, she added: “Everybody is always very special and every birthday is always different from the last time. I cannot choose one. I am looking forward to this as it is going to be a more special one especially after the hit announcement of 1920: Horrors of the Hearts.”
“I am definitely feeling more amazing about my work and that celebration is going to be carried forward for a very long time.”
And a memorable birthday gift, according to her, is doing a hit in Hindi. “This is going to be the biggest gift ever that I have got from my audience and I am really grateful for that and it’s always going to be special,” she said. (IANS)
