Rani Mukerji plays a journalist in Bombay Talkies

After No One Killed Jessica, Rani Mukerji is set to don the garb of a journalist once again for Bombay Talkies. The film is a bouquet of four stories directed by different directors – Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee. It is an ode to 100 years of Indian cinema.

The story directed by Karan features Rani, Randeep Hooda and Saqib Saleem. Both Karan and Rani have been best friends ever since the actor made her debut in the film industry with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and have shared a long professional relationship.

“Rani will be essaying the role of a journalist in the movie. She is paired opposite Randeep. The duo are sharing screen space for the first time,” the spokesperson of film said in a statement. Added the source: “Rani was briefed on her character nuances by Karan. She effortlessly got into her character.”

Bollywood: Dostana 2 goes all desi!

Karan Johar has finally given green signal to Dostana 2 and the film is expected to go on the floors this summer.

According to a report in a leading daily, John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan will reprise their roles from the previous film but the two will be seen in different avatars.

In Dostana 2, the duo will go all desi and from the beaches of Miami they will now be seen in the mustard fields of Punjab.


So, instead of John's famous canary yellow trunks get ready for dhotis that the duo will wear in the sequel.

The script has gone through a lot of improvisation. Reportedly, Karan was not happy with the second half of the original script for Dostana 2 which led Tarun Mansukhani to rewrite the script.

Leading lady of the film is not yet finalised.

Get ready for the bromance in dhoti.

"Vishwaroopan" - TN finally gets a date! Vishwaroopam to release Thursday

It’s final — Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam will be released in Tamil Nadu this Thursday.

The actor, who withdrew his petition against ban by the state government in the Madras High Court, announced the release date a few minutes ago.

Haasan thanked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for facilitating his dialogue with the Tamil groups, which paved way for the release, as well as the support by the film industry in Tamil Nadu and rest of India, his fans and supporters, and the media.

All the changes suggested by the Muslim organisations are being carried out. Since considerable part of the post-production of the movie was done in the US, the changes are also being done there.

Although non-availability of theatres was initially a hitch for the actor, the failure of two big films at the box office — Kadal and David — will be a blessing in disguise for him. Not only are the theatres and film buffs looking forward to a blockbuster experience, failing footfalls for other films will prompt theatres to accommodate Vishwaroopam.
