Nawaz takes the web route again
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been roped in to play the lead role in Netflix's upcoming film, Serious Men. After Sacred Games, this will be the actor's second outing with the Internet entertainment service. Directed by Sudhir Mishra, Serious Men is an adaptation of journalist Manu Joseph's book by the same name. It is about a slum dweller who cons people into believing his dim-witted son is a genius, only to realise that the victim of his game is his son.
Hitting the right notes
Music producer and arranger, Meghdeep Bose, who has produced the Slow Motion and Aithey Aa songs in the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer Bharat, is collaborating with AR Rahman for an upcoming project. Things are hush-hush for the moment. He rues the fact that music producers do not get too much exposure, "but they are the real creators of music. Without them music would be incomplete," says Bose, who earlier produced Main Hoon Hero Tera (Hero, 2015) and Jab Tak (MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, 2016).
