Mumbai, Aug 5 (IANS) Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani and producer Mahaveer Jain will join Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha in Srinagar on Thursday to launch a new film policy to make the union territory a favourite shooting-friendly destination.
Earlier, a delegation of leading filmmakers like Imtiaz Ali, Nitesh Tiwari, Dinesh Vijan, Ekta Kapoor, Ashwiny Iyer, Ssanjay Tripaathy, led by Jain met Sinha and Principle Secretary to the LG Nitishwar Kumar in Mumbai and shared their suggestions to draft this new film policy to encourage film-shooting in Jammu and Kashmir.
The development comes few days after Aamir was shooting in Ladakh for his upcoming film "Laal Singh Chaddha".
National Award-winning Bengali actress Sudipta Chakraborty has been offered the role of Ranu Mondal in a biopic of the railway platform singer-turned Internet sensation.
No wonder, actors as Pankaj Tripathi -- regarded as prop cast till the other day -- have suddenly become toast of the movie buffs. Others like Ali Fazal and Emraan Hashmi have managed to prove themselves as actors on OTT platforms, after films rarely gave them the scope.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is all set to return as host of a new season of "Bigg Boss". While he is kicked about hosting season 13 of the show, he is not too sure if he agrees with moving the Bigg Boss house from its usual location in Lonavala to Mumbai's Goregaon Film City.
