Sajid Nadiadwala set to launch another star kid

Call it nepotism or luck, star kids do not face many problems when it comes to making inroads in Bollywood. If you are good-looking and have chops for acting, someone of the other from the fraternity will launch you sooner or later.

After launching Tiger Shroff with the actioner Heropanti (2014), renowned filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala is now set to provide a launch pad to another star kid. Reportedly, Nadiadwala has roped in producer Vijay Galani’s daughter Hitika Galani for a film which also launches popular action star Suniel Shetty’s son Ahaan Shetty in Bollywood.


“I have known Sajid bhai since I was a kid. I practically grew up watching his films being made as my father and he are best friends and he has always treated me like his own daughter,” said Hitika Galani.

She further adds, “Around five years ago, he joked that I would become an actress and since then he has ensured I was prepping up for the big launch, always asking me if I was going for dance and acting lessons regularly.”

Other details about the project are yet to be out.

Tarantino praises the film but flags one concern

Quentin Tarantino has spoken about There Will Be Blood during an appearance on Bret Easton Ellis’s podcast, calling it one of his top films while also highlighting what he sees as its biggest weakness.
He places Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2007 release at number five on his list, noting that it could have ranked higher if not for what he describes as a significant flaw.

Why Paul Dano’s role stands out for the wrong reasons

Tarantino says the drama is intended to play as a two-hander, but argues it becomes clear that the balance is uneven because Paul Dano cannot match Daniel Day-Lewis on screen.
According to him, Dano’s work lacks the weight needed opposite the veteran actor. He adds that Austin Butler would have suited the part more effectively.
