Dinesh Vijan to next bankroll Shiddat

Hit filmmaker Dinesh Vijan, whose last few films have had a dream run at the box-office, has announced his next production venture. Titled Shiddat, the film will be a love story, having two parallel tracks focusing on the journey of two couples.

Talking about the cast of the movie, it will feature Sunny Kaushal, Radhika Madan, Mohit Raina and Diana Penty in lead roles. While Radhika Madan has been roped in to pair up opposite Sunny Kaushal, Diana Penty and Mohit Raina will play the other lead couple in the flick.


Kunal Deshmukh, known for Jannat (2008) and Jannat 2 (2012), will call the shots for the film, which has been written by Raghavan and Dheeraj Rattan, with dialogues by Dheeraj. It will be shot across London, Paris and Punjab.

Commenting on the project, Dinesh Vijan said in a statement, “In our day and age, where love is taken so lightly, it is difficult to imagine the lengths people would go for it. Shiddat is not only a story about love but the distance one travels for it, the passion that overcomes maybe all senses or logic to do things that you wouldn’t usually imagine, the belief in something with all your heart and the drive to achieve it- that’s Shiddat.”

The film is expected to hit screens in 2020.

Dhee on staying rooted, making ‘honest music’ and Tamil music’s global rise

Highlights

  • Dhee says Vari Vari emerged from a deeply personal and reflective period in her life
  • The singer believes listeners worldwide are searching for “new sounds and new stories”
  • She says remaining rooted in her identity has always been central to her music
  • Dhee hopes to release more albums and perform more frequently in the years ahead

A song shaped by reflection rather than intention

For Dhee, Vari Vari was not born out of a deliberate attempt to move in a new direction. Instead, it arrived during a period of reflection that naturally began influencing the music she was making. Speaking exclusively, the singer described how many of her recent songs have mirrored experiences unfolding in her own life, making them feel more personal than planned.

That emotional undercurrent eventually found its way into Vari Vari. Conversations with lyricist Vivek (Vivek Anna) slowly shaped the track, which grew from discussions around love and human connection. Rather than following a formula, the song evolved organically and became a reflection of thoughts she had already been carrying.
