Sara Ali Khan is never one to shy away from expressing her thoughts, and her latest comments highlight this trait. The talented actress, who has successfully carved a niche for herself with a blend of traditional and contemporary roles, recently revealed her ambition to produce films. She envisions retelling stories that reflect the modern Indian woman.

When asked about the type of projects she would like to support as a producer, Sara shared, “Our country has countless stories to tell. There was a time I aspired to portray a queen in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film and a modern girl in a Zoya Akhtar movie—those desires still hold true. However, above all, I aim to narrate the stories of today’s Indian woman—her dreams, aspirations, and everything that defines her.”

This statement comes from an actress who has already taken on a diverse array of roles—from the rebellious Mukku in ‘Kedarnath’, to the quirky Rinku in ‘Atrangi Re’, and the charming Somya in ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’. Her performances embody a fusion of classic Bollywood melodrama and contemporary storytelling, so it’s no surprise that she wants to champion narratives that resonate with the experiences of modern women.

Imagine a film crafted by Sara Ali Khan. With her unique blend of royal heritage (thanks to her Pataudi lineage) and down-to-earth persona (she’s beloved on Instagram as the queen of ‘Namaste Darshako’), she could introduce a fresh perspective to Bollywood.

Would she incorporate her personal experiences? Perhaps we’d see a powerful, independent woman navigating the complexities of love, career, and family, or perhaps she’d infuse it with humor and drama. Whatever direction she chooses for her production debut, it’s sure to be captivating.

What’s on the horizon for Sara Ali Khan? While we anticipate her foray into production, she remains busy with a lineup of exciting films. She’s set to star alongside Aditya Roy Kapur in Anurag Basu’s ‘Metro… In Dino’, which promises to delve into the intricacies of urban romances. Furthermore, there’s buzz about her collaborating with Ayushmann Khurrana on another project, a pairing that holds great potential for a refreshing cinematic experience!

Film :Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has shared his views on the film Dhurandhar 2. He praised the movie but raised concerns about one key aspect.

In a recent podcast with writer Hussain Zaidi, RGV said he liked the film’s storytelling and direction. However, he said the portrayal of Dawood Ibrahim did not match his understanding.

In the film, Dawood Ibrahim is shown as a mastermind controlling terror activities from Pakistan. He is referred to as “Bade Sahab.” RGV said this version may not be accurate.

He added that, based on what he knows, Dawood has been inactive for many years. He believes the gangster stepped away from crime about 20 years ago.

RGV also said that no one can fully confirm the truth about such figures. He stated that both the filmmaker and critics may have different views.

Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar, is a spy-action film. It stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role, along with a strong supporting cast.
