T-Series signs Mohit Suri for yet another film

With the success of his latest film Ek Villain, Mohit Suri seems to be the man of the hour. Mohit, who has been making films with the Bhatts for quite some time, recently released Ek Villain produced by Balaji. He also has signed a film with Dharma Productions. 

And now we hear that Suri has been roped in by none other than the music moghul T-Series to helm their next untitled venture. This will be Mohit's second film with the banner after Aashiqui 2, which was co-produced by Vishesh Films. 

Though details of the said film are unavailable, we hear that Mohit has given his nod and will direct a film for Bhushan Kumar. However, this venture will hit the floor only once Suri is finished with Vishesh Film's Hamari Adhuri Kahaani, followed by Karan Johar's venture.

Shah Rukh Khan inspired Sidharth Malhotra for Ek Villain?

The actor is playing a grey character in his latest release and he reveals what inspired him to do the role

Sidharth Malhotra is on a high with the response that his latest release Ek Villain has received. The Hasee Toh Phasee actor is playing a character with grey shades in Ek Villain. He shed his chocolate boy image for the film and it’s working in his favour, we must say. While most newbies would stay away from doing a character like that at the beginning of their career, Sidharth revealed what inspired him to do the film.

Reportedly, Sidharth watched SRK’s Darr and Baazigar for his role in Ek Villain. He said, “A lot of people thought it was suicidal for me to play a dark character at such an early stage of my career. But I had a perfect example in SRK (Shah Rukh Khan), who played negative characters in Darr, Baazigar and Anjaam towards the beginning of his career. So in a way, he inspired me to take the plunge. Back then, he was the romantic hero of Hindi cinema who managed to pull off a negative character with élan. My character in Ek Villain is my tribute to him.”

On being asked about being compared to Shah Rukh, Sidharth told a website, “I have a long way to go before I dare to feel like the new age SRK. However, I have to admit that being compared to him is an all time high.” Well, it’s certainly a big thing to be compared to King Khan, isn’t it? We wish the Ek Villain actor good luck for his upcoming projects and hope that he continues to impress his with different roles

1. Kareena Kapoor:

Bebo made her debut with ‘Refugee’ opposite Abhishek Bachchan. We are sorry to say, but, she looked like a dried leaf when she first entered B-town. With delivering consequent flops like Khushi, Ajanabee, Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon, and Yaadein; nobody ever thought that Kareena ever be able to survive in the film industry, unlike Lolo. However, she underwent a drastic makeover post ‘Hulchul’ and her acting skills were greatly appreciated in movies like ‘Aitraaz’ and ‘Jab We Met’. After that, there was no looking back!

2. Karisma Kapoor:

Karan Johar to play a father onscreen?

Yogen Shah

As per the latest buzz the KWK host has bagged his second film as an actor and in this one he will be playing a father. Sounds interesting, hai na?

Karan Johar is pretty serious about his acting career wethinks. While the talented filmmaker will make his acting debut with Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet, we hear the Koffee with Karan host has now signed Vikas Bahl’s next which stars Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead. Apparently, the Student Of The Year director will essay the role of a father in this film. While talking to a leading daily, a source said, “In the film, Karan will be playing a father, who is getting his son married. The wedding is organised by Shahid.” In fact, it is being said that Govinda will play Johar’s in-law in the Shahid starrer and the duo will have a comic track in the film which is about destination wedding.

But the Partner actor hasn’t accepted the offer it seems. Govinda told the leading daily, “I will be meeting Vikas soon and will then take a decision about the film.”

While Govinda is yet to sign on the dotted line, we hope Shah Rukh Khan’s close buddy has sealed the deal. Coz Karan has always been vocal about his parental instincts and after watchingTaare Zameen Par he even wanted to adopt a kid. With this film Johar will be able to live his dream of being a parent so what if it’s in reel and not real life
