Meera Chopra is renowned for her bold choices of roles on screen. Her upcoming film Super Woman is India's first film on asexuality. The first look of another film featuring Meera, titled Safed , was recently unveiled in the latest edition of the famous Cannes Film Festival. On Super Woman , Meera Chopra said, "I was so intrigued by the script. The term 'asexual' is alien to Indians. So many women and men struggle to make their peers understand how they feel about it. While researching for the film, I came across jaw-dropping statistics on the number of suicides and forced marriages of asexual women. It is alarming! With "Super Women," we aim to bring a ray of hope to people who are struggling to convey their real feelings to society." Sharing his thoughts, Piiyush Singh, Chief Operating Officer, Golden Ratio Films said, "As a production company, GRF has a reputation for producing films that the general public can identify with.

Image

Ranbir, who is coming to the big screen four years after he delivered the blockbuster Sanju , wowed everyone and also caught people by surprise when the trailer of the much-awaited film dropped! Ranbir is playing the father, Shamshera, and the son, Balli, in this revenge spectacle! This is the first time Ranbir is playing two characters in the same film! Ranbir spills the beans on the fact that he was only approached to play Balli but he convinced producer Aditya Chopra and film-maker Karan Malhotra to trust him with the character of Shamshera too!

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Box Office: Film collects over Rs. 8 crores in Week 5, continues its blockbuster run

Image
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 kept going strong in its fifth week as well, what with over Rs. 8 crores coming in. So many films are struggling to bring such kind of numbers even in their first weekend these days and here comes a horror comedy, which collects as much in a week when it has arrived on OTT as well. That shows the kind of traction that the film has been enjoying for a sustained period. The Anees Bazmee directed film is a bonafide blockbuster and currently stands at Rs. 184.32 crores. What has to be seen is that where does it go from here because as mentioned earlier too, the records that it is chasing now are that of Bajirao Mastani , Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewaani and 2.0 (Hindi). Had this been an open week as well then the film would have easily achieved that. However now it’s about getting the best it can at the box office in the coming weekend since that’s what would result in that one final push. There is competition in the form of JugJugg Jeeyo and post that multiple other films...
