Meghna Gulzar on Talking films
In a recent conversation with MN+ for their upcoming show Talking Films, Raazi film Director, Meghna Gulzar talked about the challenges she faced when shooting for the film. Meghna says, “Recreating an era of 1970 in 2017 was immensely difficult but what was more challenging was to create 1970’s Pakistan in India. After much deliberation and planning, we zeroed on the locations like Kashmir, Mumbai, Delhi and a few other places. The cast had to deal with the change in weather - sudden rains or even extreme hot climate.”
Catch Gulzar talk about her selection of films on Talking Films that will air on May 10, 11 and on May 17 & 18, 2018 at 7pm respectively on MN+.

Farida dadi in ekta kapoor’s next

Bijay Anand and Geetanjali Tikekar are already roped in the show, making an addition to the list is veteran actress Farida Dadi who will be seen essaying the character of Taari in the show, who is a very sober, loving and a caring person. She has been a part of many popular shows and is highly recognised as the loving grandmother. The character she is playing in the show is similar to Farida Jalal who has played a role of caretaker in Karan Johar’s film.
Talking about the show Dadi says: “My association with Ekta Kapoor has been long and fruitful. When I was approached for the role, I really liked the way my character was shaped up. I’m portraying the character similar to Farida Jalal and the happiness is more because we are best friends in real life. Before Dil Hi To Hai, Ekta did approach me for her other shows but due to certain reasons, I couldn’t be a part of them. Finally, here I am, working with Ekta again and I am excited.”
