Sonam supports film preservation
Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja took to social media to announce her support to the Film Heritage foundation. A not-for-profit organisation founded by filmmaker and archivist Shivendra Singh Dungarpur in 2014, it is dedicated towards film preservation, restoration and archiving of historic Indian films.
Talking about her association with the foundation, Sonam took to Instagram and said, “A legacy worth saving: the heritage of cinema. It gives me immense honour and pride to be associated with the organisation to bring into focus the neglected but necessary art of film preservation and restoration. In the coming months, I will be exclusively showing you the art, hardwork and perseverance that goes into archiving the legacy of films — not just in Bollywood but globally.”
‘Boondi Raita has already been announced with its posters. I am not allowed to speak about it but this film is very close to my heart. It's a lovely story. I am glad that today audience is accepting content-driven films. I am really enjoying my journey in this industry and I think the most important point is yet to come in my career.’

Jeff spans two career phases
Hollywood actor Jeff Daniels says there was a time when he was picking projects to support his family, and is glad that he has reached a point where he can risk failure and challenge himself.
“There have been two phases to my career,” Daniels said as he added, “One was to take the best of things that you are offered at the time because I have to work to support my family. So everything leading up to ‘The Newsroom' was getting the best out. Sometimes, it ended up being really good projects like The Purple Rose Of Cairo, Something Wild and Dumb And Dumber. It wasn't just doing a film that people forget,” added the Emmy-winning star.
