Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor & Vaani Kapoor in Yash Raj Films' next

Buzz has it that Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor have been finalized to headline one of the upcoming projects by Yash Raj Films. The untitled movie will be helmed by Karan Malhotra who has previously directed Agneepath and Brothers for Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

The project is, reportedly, a part of a three-film deal that Karan Malhotra has signed with Yash Raj Films. Considering the fact that the project is in its initial stage, the makers are trying their best to keep all details under wraps.


The new project might benefit its female lead Vaani Kapoor the most. The actress, who made her acting debut with Shudhh Desi Romance in 2013, was last seen in Aditya Chopra's Befikre. However, despite starring in two YRF movies, her career has gone nowhere in these years. This untitled film with biggies like Sanjay Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor might work wonders for the actress' career.

Interestingly, before starting shooting for Karan Malhotra's film, Vaani will be seen in another big-ticket movie by Yash Raj Films and that too with biggies like Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. The film will be helmed by filmmaker Siddharth Anand. Like Malhotra's film, Anand's movie is also yet to be titled.

Kashyap’s review singles out craft over ideology

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has added his voice to the praise for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, saying he admired the film even though he did not agree with all of its political messaging. Writing on Letterboxd, Kashyap said he chose to look past what he felt were a couple of propaganda-heavy moments and instead focus on the quality of the filmmaking.

He noted that hostility towards an enemy state is often built into the genre itself, adding that he had no issue with that aspect. However, he pointed to two specific dialogues that troubled him, saying that setting them aside allowed the film to work strongly on its own terms. He described Dhurandhar as a good, and ultimately brilliant, film largely set in Pakistan.
