Shahid Kapoor’s half sister Sanah bags a romcom

Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor’s half-sister Sanah Kapoor, who was launched by Vikas Bahl in the 2016 film Shaandaar, will be next seen in director Abhishek Saxena’s new film, titled Saroj Ka Rishta.

The film talks about the grave issue of body-shaming in India. In addition to that, it will also be a story about a daughter’s relationship with her father. Sanah will play the title role of Saroj in the movie.


“As a fat person, I have noticed that body-shaming doesn’t happen only with those who are on the heavier side, but also with thin people. The idea germinated from there. The film essentially revolves around a father-daughter relationship with Kumud Mishra and Sanah at the centre. There is also a love triangle with the two heroes Gaurav Pandey and Randeep Rai,” the film’s director said.

Sana said that her character in the movie offers great scope for exploration. “I am looking forward to mould (ing)  myself into someone who is from a completely different culture. It’s mysterious and offers great scope for exploration,” she explains.

Saroj Ka Rishta begins production in August. The film will be shot in Ghaziabad, Mawana and Mumbai.

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
