Sanjay Dutt is back in action and in full swing signing projects. Just yesterday we told Sanjay Dutt will be seen in his first big comedy after the Munnabhai series, the superstar will be seen as the lead in producer Sandeep Singh's next titled BLOCKBUSTER.

Now he is set to start filming for the second schedule of TORBAAZ which is set in Bishkek & neighbouring areas of Krygyzstan from mid-April.

Directed by Girish Malik who has won many accolades for his directorial debut with JAL is taking control of this project, the film touches upon the issues of child bombing which has plagued Afghanistan and these children are made to believe that their sacrifice will be repaid with glory and service to God.

The subject of the film is very mature and it brings a new perspective which is slowly creeping into Bollywood and is well received by the audiences who have been craving for something new after being bombarded with repetitive content.

Sanjay Dutt will be seen with Nargis Fakhri in this film in which Dutt, essays the role of an Army officer, although Dutt has played similar high ranking roles in the past, this seems to be a bit more mature and different challenge for Dutt.

Producer Rahul Mittra added, "Sanjay Dutt will shine in TORBAAZ. It’s a subject that is very close to all of us & the footage from the first schedule is mind blowing. Am looking forward to this major schedule & will finish the movie by May end."

Produced by Rahul Mittra and presented by Raju Chadha, this film is scheduled near the end of 2018 release.

Bollywood's 'Mast' and 'Chhama chhama' Urmila Matondkar will be seen in a special song 'Bewafa Beauty' in the movie BLACKMAIL. The film's director Abhinay Deo says they were not looking for an item girl for this song.

Urmila, who started her movie career as a child actor, has been away from the silver screen for a while. But she will be seen in the song 'Bewafa beauty', the first look of which came out on Thursday.

Its music and lyrics mock lead actor Irrfan Khan, who is dealing with an unfaithful wife. The song is set inside a bar and offers a glimpse of the place where he recites his life's tragic turn to a friend.

Urmila was cast because Deo wanted the song to revive the memory of similar songs from the past.

"Firstly, Urmila is a massive star, she is not an item girl. We were not looking for an item girl for this song. We wanted a performer, someone who has tremendous value as a star in the audience's mind. We also wanted someone who has not come in front of the silver screen for a while now.

"From all the names we came up with, I personally believe that the biggest and best name is Urmila. She fit the bill perfectly, is gorgeous, and is an incredible dancer – a perfect match for the song and film," Deo said in a statement.

Producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, said they wanted a song that would be naughty and humorous without being vulgar.

"With Amitabh Bhattacharya's wicked lyrics set to Amit Trivedi's racy composition and Pawni Pandey's spicy voice, picturised on a huge, magnetic star like Urmila Matondkar, this song is set to burn the airwaves in an already scorching summer," he added.

BLACKMAIL, which also features Kirti Kulhari, Divya Dutta, Arunoday Singh, Omi Vaidya, Anuja Sathe, Pradhuman Singh Mall and Gajraj Rao, will release on April 6.

Actress Masumeh Makhija, who has a pivotal role in the ensemble cast film 3 STOREYS, says she is not an ambitious person and has a creative bent of mind.

Masumeh has received a positive response for her performance in 3 STOREYS and she is happy about the projects she has done so far.

"I have worked with some of the very good filmmakers so far — whether it is Vishalji (Vishal Bhardwaj) in MAQBOOL or Mahesh Bhatt saab (producer of WOH LAMHE) because they come up with a clarity that they look for in the character.

"I think that is what helped me to perform. I am really thankful to people who loved my performance. I am not traditionally ambitious," Masumeh told IANS.

That is also perhaps why she does not appear in films often.

"I am more of a creative person rather than ambitious. So, the journey is quite internal. I want to try out new things as a creative person… So, the length of a role never matters to me, but the challenges and substance of it do," she added.

In 3 STOREYS, Masumeh plays a housewife named Varsha, who is abused by her husband all her life.

On her role, she said: "While I connected with the character immediately during the narration of the film, I think the best part of her is when she fights back and retaliates by informing the police about the domestic violence she faced."

As for her future in films, Masumeh said she is reading a lot of scripts.

Without unveiling much about her upcoming projects, she shared a wish-list of directors she wants to work with.

"I want to work with Vishal Bhardwaj, Aditya Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and any new director who prioritises story and actors over a star," said Masumeh, who finds the changed approach towards storytelling quite interesting.
