    Shuddh Desi boy to now play lead in YRF & Shekhar Kapur‘s ‘Paani’

    MUMBAI: The hunt for the male lead in Paani is over! Close on the heels of his outstanding performance in Shuddh Desi Romance, both Shekhar Kapur and Aditya Chopra had no hesitation in confirming Sushant Singh Rajput to play the lead in their upcoming flick Paani.

    According to Kapur, Sushant is one of the most inspiring young actors to emerge out of India. “It‘s going to be exciting director-actor collaboration with him in Paani.” The film is based in a future world where war over water has broken out. Water is now owned by international corporations who use thirst as a weapon of control. In one such future city, a young love story breaks all the rules and in the ensuing war, water flows back to its people.

    The film will have a strong Indian and western star cast. Sushant will be joined by a young leading actress from the west.

    The film, produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Shekhar Kapur, will be shot in India and overseas. Music will be by A. R. Rahman.

    Paani goes on floor mid-2014.

    Krrish 3 trailer crosses 7.75 mn views in less than a week

    MUMBAI: Bollywood seems to be taking over YouTube in a big way. The trailer for Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming superhero flick Krrish 3 has already garnered over seven million views in less than seven days on YouTube.

    The two-minute long trailer was released amidst much fanfare last Monday and crossed a million views the following day. It managed to cross the three million views mark in under 36 hours as well. Given the craze of superhero films and Roshan’s fan-following, the feat seems interesting. The movie will take off from where Krrish, which was released in 2006, ended. While we have no clue about what happened to Krrish 2, the latest iteration in the Koi Mil Gaya series will see a release this Diwali.

    Krrish 3 is not alone, other upcoming big releases like Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara has seen just over a couple of million views on YouTube within a week of its releases. Other smaller flicks like John Abraham’s Madras Cafe and Shuddh Desi Romance too have seen a huge number of views days after their release on the online video streaming site.
