Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah will be seen in the upcoming film on partition Begum Jaan starring Vidya Balan in lead role. The film will have him in a special appearance. Talking about the same, producer Mukesh Bhatt also revealed that though it is a small role, Naseeruddin Shah's character is pivotal to the plot. Reminiscing about the days he worked with this talented actor in films like Naajayaz and Sir in the 90s, Bhatt also added that they wanted to approach Shah only when they found a role that would suit his calibre. Begum Jaan is a remake of the critically acclaimed film Rajkahini and will be directed by Bengali filmmaker Srijit Mukherjee. Set amidst the backdrop of partition, Rajkahini is a story of a group of sex workers who try to protect their home (a brothel) as ruthless politicians and high profile men decide to destroy it for their selfish motives.

Ajay Devgn, who has been a part of Indian film industry for over two decades, was felicitated on October 19 for his valuable contribution to Indian cinema at the opening day of Confederation of Indian Industry (Cii)’s Big Picture Summit.
The two-time National Award-winning film actor is today among Bollywood’s most bankable box office stars. It isn’t his crowd-pulling prowess alone that defines him. His approach to his star status sets him apart from the crowd.
Primarily, his fans get to see Devgn only on the big screen. As his public appearances are rare, the seasoned actor lets his films do the talking for him. Like a true-blue professional, he has steadily evolved with age even if it might be fair to say that not every huge box-office grosser that he spearheads today does justice to the actor in him.
