Now, the writer will pen the script of magnum opus Sita - The incarnation along with Alaukik Desai.

The announcement was made on Thursday, February 25, 2021. The untold story of India's largest divine epic will have dialogues and lyrics by Manoj Muntashir. The film will be helmed by Alaukik Desai. It is touted to take the world’s cinematic audience on a breathtaking VFX-based journey of India’s mythological magnum opus.

The cast is yet to be announced and more details are awaited.

With just a few days to go for the launch of ALTBalaji's The Married Woman, Rhea Kapoor, Guneet Monga, and Tahira Kashyap Khurrana wish to host a special screening of the show in Mumbai on 7th March, a day before the show's launch.

Not to forget that Ekta Kapoor, Guneet Monga, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, and Ruchika Kapoor have recently launched an initiative called Indian Women Rising – A Cinema Collective in January this year, paving the way for women directors to flourish and come forward. Therefore bring out stories, 'of, by & for women!'

Since The Married Woman comes across as a very different show with an aspirational narrative revolving around women and their choices, Rhea Kapoor, Guneet Monga, and Tahira Kashyap Khurrana mutually wished to come together to host a special screening of the show. A show that talks about discovering oneself amidst societal conditioning have definitely touched the right strings across the power women trio. They came together to showcase their solidarity and support to Ekta Kapoor, for the piece of art based on renowned author Manju Kapur's book A Married Woman.

It's learnt that Ekta Kapoor is quite excited about The Married Woman and wants everyone to watch the show, especially the female populace.

The Married Woman is an urban relationship drama about women and their conditioning levied by society and her search to find herself. The show features Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra as the central characters and notable actors, including Imaad Shah, Ayesha Raza, Rahul Vohra, Divya Seth Shah, Nadira Babbar, and Suhaas Ahuja, among others. The show premieres on March 8, 2021.

Actress Sanjana Sanghi finally is finding her footing in the industry. After much delay, her film Dil Bechara premiered on OTT which starred late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She has already begun shooting her next OM - The Battle Within and has signed her third lead role already! Sanjana Sanghi has been reportedly signed for the prequel of horror-comedy Stree which will be titled Munjha.

According to a tabloid, producer Dinesh Vijan began to build a horror-comedy universe starting with 2017 Stree starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao followed by 2011's Roohi with Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor, and Varun Sharma, and 2022's Bhediya with Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

Adding to that is Munjha starring Sanjana Sanghi. This will be a prequel to Stree and the last standalone film in the horror-comedy universe. The plan is to establish characters in such a way that they will cross paths with each other at some point very similar to Rohit Shetty's cop universe with Singham, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi.

Apparently, this part was offered to Alia Bhatt first but the report states she was keen on doing multi-heroine film yet. Stree's director Amar Kaushik, who is directing Bhediya, will serve as creative producer whereas Munjha will mark the directorial debut of Sriram Raghavan's assistant Yogesh Chandekar. The film is reportedly set to go on floors this year!

For his next film, filmmaker Sudhir Mishra plans on revisiting the history of India. The filmmaker is currently developing a period drama that traces the rise of the British Raj in India during the 19th century.

Reportedly, the story is set in 1840. The filmmaker feels that it is time to tell our own stories so that the next generation knows the stories of our freedom. The show will take a hard look at what the British did to India and how they established their rule over the country.

Talking to a tabloid, Mishra said that he has written the first season. He said that considering the nature of the subject, the series has to be mounted on a massive scale and it will take them time to roll the project.
