Tahira Kashyap, the wife of Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana, is set to add a new feather to her cap by turning director. Kashyap, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, is recuperating well and is planning to start work on her maiden directorial venture as soon as possible.

The latest we hear that Tahira has roped in seasoned Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit for the female lead in her directorial debut. She finalized the scintillating diva because she thinks she fits the bill perfectly.

Kashyap is making her debut with a slice-of-life, women-centric film with a powerful woman at the helm. Dixit has been locked to play a mother in the movie. The makers are currently looking for a young actress who could play her daughter in the untitled project.

"Her character is something that she has not attempted before. The actress to play her daughter will be soon finalized as well," said a source close to the development.

The yet-to-be-titled film is bankrolled by Ellipsis Entertainment and T-Series Films.

More details are awaited.

Patralekhaa on bringing Savitribai Phule to life in a powerful new biopic

FROM her striking debut in CityLights to diverse and unconventional roles, Patralekhaa has carved a unique path as an actress across film and TV.

Unafraid of challenges, she has continually pushed herself as a performer with characters that demand depth, nuance and emotional honesty. She is also one half of a cinema power couple with her actor husband Rajkummar Rao, and both have motivated one another to cross creative horizons. The acclaimed actress adds to that diverse body of work with the new Bollywood biopic Phule, due to be released next Friday (25). She steps into the shoes of one of India’s greatest social reformers, Savitribai Phule, an experience she describes as both humbling and transformative. The important chapter of 19th-century history sees her portray India’s first female teacher, who, along with her husband Jyotiba Phule, played a vital role in improving women’s rights across the country.

'Doctor Who' boss Russell T Davies shuts down ‘woke’ backlash over diverse casting

The creative force behind Doctor Who, Russell T Davies, has spoken out about criticism aimed at the show for being “too woke.” His message? He’s not interested in appeasing online outrage. The BBC sci-fi series recently made headlines for introducing its first-ever non-white lead duo. Ncuti Gatwa returns as the Doctor, joined by newcomer Varada Sethu as companion Belinda Chandra.

But some viewers took to the internet to complain that the show had become overly focused on diversity. Davies, speaking on BBC Radio 2’s Doctor Who: 20 Secrets from 20 Years, brushed aside the complaints. He said what some call “woke” or “diverse,” he simply sees as making space for everyone. “It’s not some agenda,” he said. “It’s just how life looks now.”
