Whether it is Dangal, Stree, Luka Chuppi?and the upcoming Jabariya Jodi -- actor-singer Aparshakti Khurana is gradually making his space in Bollywood, and making his presence count. The radio jockey-turned-actor says he had to wait patiently for the best offers to come his way.
Looking back at his journey so far, the actor told the publication: "Initially, after the success of Dangal when I hoped that a lot of offers will come my way, many a times people (casting directors) couldn't place my face for a character as they had a strong image of the village boy I played in Dangal. I think now finally good roles are coming my way."

The Indian film industry has historically been a male-dominated one, but the winds of change are blowing across the country, albeit slowly.
Better-served than the rest of the country is the Mumbai-based Hindi-language industry, where there are several active female filmmakers including Zoya Akhtar (“Gully Boy”), Reema Kagti (“Gold”), Leena Yadav (“Rajma Chawal”), Gauri Shinde (“Dear Zindagi”), Meghna Gulzar (“Raazi”), Shonali Bose (“Margarita With a Straw”), Farah Khan (“Om Shanti Om”) and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari (“Bareilly ki Barfi”), to name just a few.
“The new generation of young women directors is now making ad films, web series, corporate films, short fiction, documentaries and feature films, so it’s getting to be quite a level playing field,” says Priya Krishnaswamy, who works in Mumbai. Her Tamil Nadu set Tamil-language film “Baaram” is making the rounds at festivals.

But all thanks to Rishi (Kapoor) sir, who made me feel so comfortable that I could improvise and do my job better.’’
Anirudh and his off screen character has another dissimilarity that is their compulsion towards social media. He adds, “Kabir and Anirudh are completely different from each other. While my character loves being on social media. I am not a fan of it.

Old Delhi normally gets a bad rap in movies, which like to contrast its grungy, tumble-down buildings and loose electric cables with the wealthier, more genteel New Delhi. Rajma Chawal, directed by the versatile Leena Yadav, is instead an undisguised love letter to the narrow alleys and friendly denizens of the old city and its busy market street Chandni Chowk. Starring Rishi Kapoor as an aging businessman who’s lost his money and two cool young actors as star-crossed lovers, it’s a very Indian rom-com whose broad comedy is amusing enough but ultimately a local flavor, like the dish of ...

Leena Yadav, who directed the critically acclaimed Parched, is all set to direct her next, Rajma Chawal, with Rishi Kapoor in the lead. The film goes on floor on November 7 in Delhi and is expected to wrap up by December-end in a start to- finish schedule. The film will revolve around a father-son duo and deals with generation gap-related conflicts.
Anirudh Tanwar debuts on screen as Rishi Kapoor’s son, director Leena Yadav says, “The idea behind the film is to illustrate how everything happens over the mobile phone today. People would rather catch up over a chat than have a proper conversation and this affects parent-children relationships. Parents are struggling to cope with technological advancements and Rishi Kapoor portrays the many shades of a father, from funny to intense. Anirudh has trained at Lee Strasberg theatre and film institute and is a perfect fit. I’ve wanted to work...
