Rohit Shetty reveals Katrina Kaif plays the role of a doctor in Sooryavanshi

Katrina Kaif was last seen on the big screen in Bharat this year. Her next release will be Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi in which she has teamed up with Akshay Kumar after a gap of a decade.

According to a report in a tabloid, recently, Rohit Shetty came on the show No Filter Neha with Neha Dhupia and revealed that Katrina Kaif plays the role of a doctor in Sooryavanshi. While talking about the actress, Shetty also revealed that she asks a lot of questions.


Rohit said, “She asks a lot of questions... Is this okay, is this right? I tell her that she’s beautiful, but after a point, I just switch off.”

Well, Rohit’s movies don’t have a great role for female leads, but let’s hope that Katrina has a meaty role to play in Sooryavanshi.

The filmmaker is known for making blockbuster movies and all his films have minted a lot of money at the box office. Talking about making big commercial films, he said, “People say that I make commercial films and that I’m a money-spinner but ever since I turned producer, I’ve realised that I’d have incurred huge losses if my films hadn’t crossed the Rs 150 crore mark.”

“From the first day of scripting to the night before the film’s release, my team knows that I can change anything, so they are always on their toes,” Rohit added.

Talking about Sooryavanshi, the film is slated to release on 27th March 2020. Katrina and Akshay will be seen shaking a leg on the recreated version of the song Tip Tip Barsa Paani and we are super excited to watch their chemistry on the big screen.

Singh and Carter were empathic leaders as well as great humanists’

Dinesh Sharma

THE world lost two remarkable leaders last month – the 13th prime minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh, (September 26, 1932-December 26, 2024).and the 39th president of the US, Jimmy Carter (October 1, 1924-December 29, 2024).

We are all mourning their loss in our hearts and minds. Certainly, those of us who still see the world through John Lennon’s rose-coloured glasses will know this marks the end of an era in global politics. Imagine all the people; /Livin’ life in peace; /You may say I’m a dreamer; / But I’m not the only one; /I hope someday you’ll join us;/ And the world will be as one (Imagine, John Lennon, 1971) Both Singh and Carter were authentic leaders and great humanists. While Carter was left of Singh in policy, they were both liberals – Singh was a centrist technocrat with policies that uplifted the poor. They were good and decent human beings, because they upheld a view of human nature that is essentially good, civil, and always thinking of others even in the middle of bitter political rivalries, qualities we need in leaders today as our world seems increasingly fractious, self-absorbed and devolving. Experts claim authentic leadership is driven by:

Shyam Benegal: The revolutionary who redefined Indian cinema

Sangeeta Datta

BENEGAL is considered the father of parallel, or new wave cinema in India. So central is his work to the movement that it forged an aesthetic of alternate or realistic Hindi cinema that reflected his socially conscious, yet deeply humanist mind.

In the 1970s, Benegal’s films revealed a world previously unseen, bringing stories of rural Indian reality to the forefront and heightening our awareness of class, caste, and gender politics – the winds of change sweeping across the nation. Here were characters in micro stories, but who represented much larger worlds where old feudal structures were collapsing and new, liberal ideals were growing.
