Bollywood star heroine Priyanka Chopra who always concentrates on the socially relevant problems in her production ventures is now eyeing on the water problem in the state of Maharashtra. The actress is determined to showcase the water problem on the silver screen. She announced the fourth film in her production house Pebble Pictures which is titled Paani. The film will be made in Marathi.

Marathi actor Adinath Kotare is acting and directing the movie. The film tells the story of the water problem faced by Nagarvadi villagers. The movie is based on true incidents. Earlier, Priyanka produced three movies in Marathi and they have become hits.

On the other side, Priyanka is acting in Salman Khan’s next titled Bharath which is directed by Ali Abbas Jaffer.

Kangana Ranaut clarified that popular filmmaker Shekhar Kapur approached her to play the lead role of an 85 Year old woman in his upcoming film.

Kangana, who has mesmerized audience and raised her standards with her acting in Queen, Tanu Weds Manu and Tanu Weds Manu Returns said that this role that she was offered is a challenging one.

She further said that this film will be a challenging one in her career and the movie is still in the talks. Though no final confirmation came from neither of the sides, Kangana is keen on doing this role, said sources. This film will not be “Paani” that Shekhar will be directing.

National Award winning actress Kangana, who is known for her versatile acting said that she is interested in doing elderly roles and mother characters.

Shekar Kapur’s interest towards film shall be condemned. He is not only a director but also a producer, writer and even worked as a co-director after delivering super hit Mr.India. His film Bandit Queen that released in 1994 fetched him the National Awards for Direction that year.

He who always admired Kangana’s acting once said ‘Queen has a fresh golden heart, at the centre of which lies a consistent fluid n convincing performance by Kangana Ranaut” after watching Queen.

Shall be seen whether Kangana will finalize this film and if so will she be able to convince the audience with her 86 Year old look?

With so many speculations around about Sushant Singh Rajput quitting Shekar Kapur’s Paani, the silence has been finally broken. A lot was written in the media about him saying ‘no’ to Shekar, with quite some speculative answers. Turns out the news that was flying around about Sushant not being a part of the project and he turned the film down, is completely untrue.

Sushant’s spokesperson clears the air and says, ‘We were very amused to read speculations that Sushant Singh Rajput is not in Paani due to a variety of absurd reasons. There is absolutely NO truth to it. Sushant keeps a low profile and let’s his work speak for itself. He has recently completed Detective Byomkesh Bakshi and is deep in preparations for Paani given the scale of the film. We’ll shortly also be making some exciting announcements on his new projects.”

Now that we know Sushant is very much a part of ‘Paani’, we are just waiting to see what all does the talented star has in store for us!
