Hello Bollywood buffs and masala lovers! Khabree Kiran here, your one-stop-shop for all things filmi, with a sprinkle of masti and a dash of sarcasm. Today’s agenda? A spicy update straight from the horse’s mouth, our very own Shekhar Kapur, the man who gave us ‘Masoom’ in 1983. Ab kya scene hai? Chalo, let’s dive in!
—
So, the big news is that Shekhar Kapur is all set to roll the cameras for the sequel to ‘Masoom’ in early 2025. Yes, you heard it right, folks! Masoom 2 is coming to sprinkle some more innocence and drama on our screens. Our beloved stars from the original—Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah—are all set to make a comeback. Joining them is Manoj Bajpayee, who last teamed up with Kapur in ‘Bandit Queen’, and Kapur’s own daughter, Kaveri. Talk about keeping it in the family! 🤔
Kapur spilled the beans at the 55th International Film Festival of India in New Delhi. It seems he had a little kaand on the flight from Dubai when he left the script behind. But, as Bollywood destiny would have it, the script found its way back to him with a sweet note from a flight attendant. Arre, jab Bollywood ki kahani mein twist na ho, toh maza kya! 📜✈️
And what’s this? A potential re-release of the original ‘Masoom’ in theaters? Ah, nostalgia! Tanuja, Supriya Pathak, Saeed Jaffrey, and our childhood favorites Jugal Hansraj, Aradhana, and Urmila Matondkar might just grace the big screen again. Ready to relive those good ol’ days, folks?
Now, moving from nostalgia to the present, Kapur is the festival director for the upcoming IFFI in Goa. He believes Indian cinema has the potential to eclipse even the grand Cannes Film Festival. Wah bhai wah, aim for the stars! 🌟
Kapur also had some interesting takes on the OTT landscape. Manoj Bajpayee has become a household name on the digital screens, and Kapur is all for celebrating this new medium. OTT is the new bada bazaar, bringing talent from every nook and cranny of the globe.
But wait, there’s more! When asked about OTT censorship, Kapur channeled his inner philosopher. He cited Iranian filmmakers who use creativity to dodge censorship bullets. Wah Kapur sahab, kya baat hai! 🎬
Lastly, he shared his thoughts on AI’s role in films. According to Kapur, emotions are the heart of cinema, something AI can never replicate. So, doston, keep your creativity alive and kicking!
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood is like a spicy masala mix—always ready to surprise, sometimes gives you a jhatka, but never fails to entertain. Whether it’s AI or OTT, Bollywood ka asli hero toh emotion hi hai, boss! 💃🕺
