Mr India 2: After Shekhar Kapur, filmmaker Hansal Mehta questions why directors have no ownership on the film
Ali Abbas Zafar recently announced the film Mr. India and said that he has been working on this dream project silently for quite some time. However, this news has left the director Shekhar Kapur and Sonam Kapoor miffed. When the sequel to the film was announced, Shekhar Kapur who directed the original starring Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, and Amrish Puri, called him out on Twitter.
Shekhar Kapur in his subsequent tweets wrote about directors and their creative rights. In a tweet, he wrote, "We sit with writers from day one, but are not the writer. Help actors hone performances but are not actors. Develop and create a visual language of film. Slave hours over editing consoles. Directors lead and inspire every aspect of a film and have no creative rights? #MrIndia".

Now, replying to Shekhar, filmmaker Hansal Mehta has also taken to the microblogging site to write, "Absolutely. Directors are held responsible for budget overruns. If a film's eventual success or failure is tied to a director why does s/he have no ownership of the film?"

Homi Adajania speaks about how Irrfan Khan and Deepak Dobriyal give sibling rivalry a congenial touch in Angrezi Medium
Angrezi Medium's director Homi Adajania was asked to describe the crackling chemistry between Irrfan Khan and Deepak Dobriyal and he won't stop laughing, saying, "Their characters are a bunch endearing loons who will make you laugh and cry, but it's magical to watch the way they feed off each other as co-actors."
This delightful duo that loves to fight and fight for love depict the warmth and craziness that define sibling relationships. The moments between them are laced with large doses of quirky humour that will remind you of the love-hate relationship you probably share with your own sibling!
Talking about reuniting with Irrfan Khan, Deepak shares, "I haven't worked with an easier co-actor than Irrfan bhai who is an institution in himself. He was extremely supportive and I loved improvising scenes with him. Our off-screen chemistry and love has translated wonderfully on-screen as well. The film has beautiful moments that bring out the fun, emotions and camaraderie between the two brothers."
While the film is a beautiful slice of life story of a father-daughter relationship, it also celebrates the bond of brotherhood. A bittersweet rivalry between brothers who are constantly harassing each other until someone else threatens one of them. Deepak and Irrfan will be sharing screen space once again after their successful outing Hindi Medium.
The movie also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Radhika Madan, Ranvir Shorey, Dimple Kapadia, Pankaj Tripathi and Kiku Sharda in pivotal roles. Jio Studios and Prem Vijan present Dinesh Vijan's Angrezi Medium, a Maddock Films production, directed by Homi Adajania, releases on March 13th, 2020.
