fresh talent in Hindi cinema has spoken up on how he honed the skills of Suhrita Das the debutante director of his upcoming production Tu Meri Poori Kahani The veteran filmmaker spoke with IANS in the Andheri West area of Mumbai in the runup to the films release and shed light on the journey of SuhritaHe told IANS Well it started from the life she led She comes from Kolkata and I ran into her during the Durga Puja festival 11 years ago She told me that it was an unusual festival where the theme was about women She told me that she is a hairdresser Of course she is married and she has a rich husband and two children and she is settled by the worldly standard but there was something unsettled within her because she has this thirst for writing She believes that a woman should do work irrespective of being a housewife And she said that she cuts hair with the left hand and writes with the right hand So I was fascinated by herHe then asked her to send some of her writing samples She did so and he was impressed by the kind of recklessness her writing hadHe went on We were making a film called Hamari Adhuri Kahani And I wanted one scene in the very end of the film where the picture in a way dissolves with the character of Vidya Balan locking horns with the character of her husband where he comes to bully her for the end time And she finally stands up for herself and gives him a mouthful And I found that scene was the most unusual scene because it came from her lifeHe further mentioned It reflected her truth So I said she is a person who is capable of writing a story which is sourced from her living wounds unlike most people who manufacture stories through imagination by watching films here there everywhere Soon she started working on a project And that project we worked on the entire film but that project did not get finally onto the floors as it happens hereThe two also worked in the medium of television and made a show called Naamkaran But that time she was very honest and she told him Look I come from a literary background I dont know much about cinematic craftThe director shared She was perplexed and lost because in cinema we write in images and sound Its quite different from the literary worldSo she sat down like an empty slate And at times she used to get intimidated that I dont know anything I said no problem even we dont know anything we have learnt by reading You learn swimming by swimming you learn writing by writing he addedTu Meri Poori Kahani directed by Suhrita Das is set to release on September 26 2025 IANS

appearance is completely changing Some women probably will develop breasts sooner than their classmatesShe recalled that when she was 10 or 11 she started to look more mature than the other girls so I was a little conscious about itAlso it is a very scary time for any teenager as they have to be very careful with who they are interacting with So I remember I went to Goa with my friends and a few girls asked me about my age and I lied that I am 2 years older Because I looked 10 to 11 years old So that can be a very challenging time for teenagersKusha said that even now there are so many girls who feel insecureEven now I have a page where I tell women what to wear underneath There are schoolgoing girls who ask me what to wear under their shirt Now when I see this cycle women dont get a lot of days for themselvesThere is menstruation phase follicular phase etc and we are left with 45 days only And obviously nobody can say this to us Are you on your periods And men shouldnt do it

beauty of love that transcends making her fall in love with animals She revealed that like most Indian mothers she was initially extremely against the idea of having a pet at home but eventually her sons Azaan and Zahaan wore her down and brought Raphael homeSo when the black pup with a white star emblazoned on his chest arrived at our apartment I gave him a grudging pat and ordered him taken up to the terrace Then I laid down a simple rule no dogs in the house sic she wrote on her IGHowever the rule was broken shortly as her sons took off for college and Aman found herself falling slowly and surely in love with the fur buddyIn some of my darkest moments the only consolation I received was his wet muzzle on my lap and his adoring eyes telling me I could survive anything she addedRevealing how his passing away devastated her Aman shared Raphael lived with us for 14 joyous years When the time came to let him go I held his beloved old face in my hands and wept into his fur Those who havent ever loved an animal may blanch at my next statement but the only comparable pain I have felt in my life was the loss of my mother His death devastated me but it also showed me the beauty of love that transcends our own speciesThe Satyam Shivam Sundaram actress added how after Raphaels demise another pet pal came into her life in the form of LilyMiss Lily arrived in Caras arms during Raffys last days She was ostensibly a foster but I suspect the kids knew my impending grief would need an outlet no human can provide I was reluctant to bond with her at first afraid that would dishonour Raffys memory but then her own sweet and unique personality swept me off my feet she wrote IANS

Mumbai and said that bad songs are always present in every era and its not like that overall music is bad currently He said that composers are still making good songs and singers are giving their voice to those songsHe told IANS I have sung close to 3000 songs or more How many of my songs do you remember How long have they lived 10 15 at the most So thats just how it is Some songs will be filtered out some songs are generally bad so nothing could be done about that They were made then they are made now and they will continue to be made in the futureHe further mentioned that after the arrival of smartphones the consuming habits of listeners has immensely changed He said that social media and the smartphones have diminished the attention span of the audience as everything is so fast and hyperconnectedHe said Another thing is that since smartphones came along public memory public attention has become very short In just one day we do so many things In between that weve got some free time so we want to make the most of it Back then you could get a CD and we would happily listen to 6 or 7 songs Now the medium is like that on your phone you have billions of songs from across the worldIn the evening you can listen to one song two songs maybe 10 or 12 songs little by little So thats why until a song comes from within you into your mind your heart your brain it wont hold and you wont give it that chance how will that song last So earlier people had patience they had time and they didnt have this convenience of being able to listen to four songs in a minute he

original theatre gang for a powerful mono satirical comedy Tu Kya Hai which will be staged this month at Mumbais National Centre for Performing Arts NCPAAbhishek said in a statement Theatre is where I learnt to breathe as an artist It taught me rhythm truth and how to fail without fear For the last 20 years my journey has been about chasing roles telling stories and building a career in cinema but somewhere the stage kept calling me backThe play offers a biting satire on the lives of countless dreamers who leave behind the comfort of their homes to chase the elusive aspirations of becoming performance artists Their journeys are marked by moments of pain absurdity and struggle blurring the line between tragedy and comedyTu Kya Hai unfolds in three evocative chapters a typical middleclass Indian household that views art only as a hobby the chaotic yet comical hustle of Mumbais entertainment industry and the quiet internal conflicts that echo in the stillness of nightThe actor added that Tu Kya Hai is deeply personal because it holds up a mirror to my life and in many ways to anyone who has ever questioned themselvesIts about that latenight whisper we all hear Tu kya hai when the lights are off and the applause has faded Coming back to the theatre to perform with my old theatre friends feels like closing a circle or maybe starting a new one This isnt just a play for me its a

close to his family and friends before he became a Yogi he had the same aspirations as any middleclass child And then suddenly to get detached from all this to serve society I kept wondering what kind of emotional journey he must have gone through and what his family must have feltThe film stars Anant Joshi as Yogi Adityanath alongside veteran actor Paresh Rawal in a pivotal roleFrom a very early age he fought for the safety and rights of women There is one particular incident where he fought against goons in his college for the same Books on personalities have all the information and

strategies of these films and said that these films didnt generate significant buzz to attract people to the theatresHe further mentioned The primary reason is that there was no marketing for these films There was no buzz no visibility If you ask a common man no one even knows that a film called Heer Express or Jugnuma or Ek Chatur Naar has been released Without marketing and visibility how will the audience come to the theatresHe also shared that the content of these films is also weak in addition to the poor marketing strategies If the content was powerful these films would have had a boxoffice mileageHe said Neither the content was strong nor the marketing effective If the content had been good reviews would have reflected that If the film had something powerful it would have spread through word of mouth But when both the content and marketing are poor disaster is inevitable IANS

recently released film Mirai has spoken up about the problem of screen count that currently prevails in India The actor spoke with IANS at a 5star property in the runup to the films release and said that the way to counter the problem of screen count in India goes through good contentHe told IANS For the biggest of our Indian films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Baahubali or other films which have set a benchmark the turnaround of the audience have been close to 2025 of our population although Im not accurate with the numbersAs of 2023 India had approximately 9742 cinema screens reflecting a modest recovery from the pandemicinduced declineHe further mentioned I am not exactly sure how we turn it around But with the future releases that are on cards from Indian cinema I am sure we are going to generate more and more curiosity amongst the audience And when the audience is ready to turn around or come to the theatres turn up to the theatres I am sure everything will be sortedOf the 9742 screens south India holds majority of screens with Andhra Pradesh Karnataka Tamil Nadu Kerala accounting for roughly 50 of the national screencount with 4573 The rest of the screens are distributed between north central western eastern and northeast India This disparity is attributed to factors such as real estate costs government incentives and audience preferencesIndustry trends indicate a significant shift towards multiplexes in urban areas driven by the expansion of chains like PVR INOX Cinepolis and Carnival Cinemas Despite this singlescreen theatres remain prevalent in smaller towns and rural regions often serving as the primary venue for film screenings IANS

for the ongoing legal battle between Hollywood actress Blake Lively and actordirector Justin Baldoni The judge has now ruled that Swift will not be deposed by Justin Baldonis legal team reports Female First UKThe It Ends With Us filmmaker had called on the Karma hitmaker to sit for a legal meeting with the singer as part of his legal battle with Blake Lively who is suing him and his production company Wayferer Studios for sexual harassment and retaliationAs per Female First UK the federal judge overseeing the case has declined a request to extend a deadline so that Taylor Swift can sit for a deposition after the release of her The Life of a Showgirl albumJudge Lewis Liman wrote in a fourpage order obtained by Deadline The Wayfarer Parties contend that their requested extension is necessary because Swifts preexisting professional obligations now prevent her from being deposed within the current discovery window The Wayfarer Parties have not similarly demonstrated good cause for their requested extension The only justification they have provided for the extension is their assertion that Swifts preexisting professional obligations now prevent her from appearing for a deposition prior to October 20 2025He added Importantly however the Wayfarer Parties have provided no discussion of when they began attempting to schedule the deposition Discovery has been ongoing in this case for approximately six months The Wayfarer Parties previously requested Swifts deposition in May 2025 before ultimately withdrawing the subpoena They have offered no evidence that they have served a renewed subpoena on Swift Thus at most the Wayfarer Parties have demonstrated that scheduling the deposition now presents logistical difficulties that does not answer the question of why the deposition could not have been conducted earlier Having failed to demonstrate appropriate diligence the requested extension is deniedAt the same time the judge agreed to Blakes request for a 10day extension on depositions for Justin and his Wayfarer Studios cofounders Steve Sarowitz and Jamey Heath Taylor Swifts lawyer had made it clear that the 35yearold singer had not agreed to the deposition
