Samantha and Tapsee to team up for a female-centric movie

The recent news cycle has been awash with details of new ventures by top actresses Taapsee Pannu and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Taapsee’s newly launched production banner Outsider Films is reportedly eager to cast Samatha in an upcoming thriller venture as the leading lady. This will mark the Bollywood debut for Samantha. With both actors reeling in the reviews for their roles in Rashmi Rocket and The Family Man 2 respectively, they will surely be a team to watch out for. Mahati Salike reports on the collaboration to look out for in the upcoming year.  

Samantha and Taapsee Pannu are expected to team up and are working on a new project together. According to several reports, the duo plan to collaborate on a strong, female-centred movie. Although neither star has made a formal declaration, it appears that they are in negotiations with producers about a pan-India picture. 

Among the most accomplished and deft actresses in Tollywood cinema is Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Having bagged a fierce role as her Hollywood debut – she will be playing as a strong detective in Philip John’s Arrangements of Love – Samantha is hot to trot the Bollywood industry. Taapsee Pannu is yet another performer who has successfully crossed the distanced between Bollywood and Tollywood in a fashion that no other heroine has. She has distinguished herself as one of the industry’s finest dynamic actresses. Taapsee has reportedly founded her independent production house, Outsiders Films, this year.

THEIR BEST PERFORMANCES:

In the recent interview with Film Companion on the Best Performances of 2021, we witness Samantha and Taapsee take part in a stellar talk with Anupama Chopra along with their fellow cast members for their dextrous and riveting performances in The Family Man 2 and Rashmi Rocket respectively. Taapsee expressed a wish to produce a film starring Samantha, to which Samantha responded positively. 

Samantha has been lauded for her bold OTT breakthrough in The Family Man 2, starring Manoj Bajpayee. She captivated the public with her dramatic, power-packed performance as Raji, a Tamil independence warrior on a scouting mission in Sri Lanka. The diva now will work on a full-fledged Bollywood film.

Taapsee is known to have done justice to her role in Rashmi Rocket. The movie has been inspired by real occurrences and analyses how the medical condition hyperandrogenism is frequently exploited as a justification to disqualify female players, compelling them to verify their gender identification. 

UPCOMING MOVIES:

Samantha, who recently made headlines for her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, has presently been basking in the popular appeal she acclaimed for her fiery musical number ‘Oo Antava’ from Allu Arjun’s film Pushpa. Samantha is also expected to be seen in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal and Shaakuntalam.  

In the meantime, Looop Lapeta, Shabaash Mithu, Blurr, Dobaaraa, Mishan Impossible are some of the invigorating projects that Taapsee is currently working on. 

If everything falls in place, Samantha will debut under the Outsiders Films banner and an official announcement is expected. Meanwhile, the audience is gearing up to see this dynamic duo. We wish the scintillating stars all the luck for their upcoming films.

Kajol on Horror, Motherhood, and ‘Maa’: “This Role Will Stay with Me Forever”

In her upcoming horror-thriller Maa, Kajol steps into a space that’s as emotionally charged as it is spiritually rooted one that reimagines horror through the lens of motherhood, mythology, and inner strength. The film draws from the legend of Goddess Kali, blending it with a modern narrative that challenges both genre and tradition. It also stars Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma, and Ronit Roy in pivotal roles. In conversation with LIPOKAVARMA, Kajol opens up about the film that has deeply resonated with her both personally and professionally. A Story Rooted in Myth and Modernity “When we started, this wasn’t even meant to be a horror film,” Kajol begins, reminiscing about the origin of Maa. Maa draws inspiration from the mythological tale of Kali and Raktabeej stories Kajol remembers from her childhood and even used to scare her children with. The story was meant to be a tight thriller, but as the script evolved, so did its scope. “We realised we had to make it bigger, as the characters and the situations were so large in scale. A simple ending wouldn’t do justice to the emotion we had built. You can’t just have her shoot him in the head and walk away,” she explains. The spiritual and symbolic depth of the film demanded a more profound resolution something that echoed the power of Goddess Kali herself. The Title That Found Its Meaning What began as a working title became central to the film’s soul. “By the time we finished, we realised Maa said everything the film was about. It was not just about a mother, but the divine mother—Kali Maa—and the raw energy of maternal strength, both nurturing and destructive.” Kajol on the Evolution of Motherhood On and Off Screen In a reflective moment, Kajol discusses the enduring societal expectations around mothers.

Nimrat Kaur Talks About Her Latest Web Series “Kull”

Nimrat Kaur is back with a powerful role in Kull: The Legacy of the Raisinghs, a family drama that dives deep into generational wounds and societal facades. The actor, known for her intensity and grace, brings a haunting vulnerability to her character Indrani. In an exclusive chat with LIPIKA VARMA, Nimrat discusses the show’s themes, her artistic journey, and the emotional tribute she recently paid to her father. On the title, “Kull”- Yes, absolutely, kull is an interesting word, right? Kul-dosh, kul-ko-aage-badhane-wala. It symbolizes lineage, burdens, responsibilities. I really liked the title when Ekta chose it. I hoped it would stay. For me, Kull represents generational trauma and the weight we carry forward. On Indrani, her character-I feel incredibly grateful that people have embraced Indrani Rai Singh’s part and they have been able to relate to her circumstances, not necessarily her as a person, which I think was my intention in any case in the first place. Behind the sarees, the pearls, the carefully curated perfection, there’s a broken woman barely holding it together. By the end, she becomes so lost in her own delusions, she can’t even tell what’s real anymore. On doing justice to all the characters–Meryl Streep once said, you don’t become someone else entirely—you bring bits of yourself into every role. And that’s so true. I live on my own, I make my own decisions, I have a certain kind of independence in how I think and move through the world. That probably seeps into the women I play. Every character has a journey, a heartbeat—I always try to tap into that. Working with Ekta Kapoor- Ekta gave me my first web series, “The Test Case,” before OTT platforms even existed. That was a bold move. She gave me a platform when the space was still

Aamir Khan Exclusive Interview With Hashtag Magazine

I’m a Loyalist of Cinema: Aamir Khan Fresh off the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan opens up about his enduring love for cinema, why he champions children’s stories, and how he balances personal evolution with creative instincts. In an exclusive interaction, he also speaks candidly about declaring his relationship with Gauri and the stability she brings into his life. In this heartfelt conversation, Aamir reflects on movies, meaning, and moments, with LIPIKA VARMA capturing it all. Excerpts- How do you feel when your film is on the verge of being released? Whenever my film is on the verge of being released, the feeling is like a father of a newborn child, though we cannot compare our feelings to a mother of a newborn child. But when my films are released, I feel the same nervousness and excitement as a father. The more excited you are, the more you contemplate whether your film is good, and then the nervousness grows if people will like it or not. I always get nervous whenever my films are on the release. Why are children’s films made in lesser numbers in Bollywood? Yes, it’s sad that the Hindi film industry is making very few children’s films. According to my thought process, the industry feels there is no market for children’s films. I disagree with this. We have so many children in this country, of course, they watch films! But sadly, many end up watching Western films dubbed in Hindi. We must take responsibility as filmmakers and create more meaningful stories for our children. Will you make more children’s films? I have decided to make children’s films even in the future. Kids are the future pillars of our country. They need to be sensitive, caring, and empathetic. Our films touch them in ways to
