FILM MAKER IN THE MAKING - Rahul Handa

Rahul Handa always had a passion for Cinema. He started acting in and directing plays while in school at Learners Academy Mumbai, United World College Singapore and American School Dhaka. He graduated with a four year degree in Film from Emerson College, Boston.

Combining his passion in acting and his graduate degree focusing on all aspects of film making made him into an all round film maker. 

When asked about just to release film Fugly, Rahul, the story writer of film, said “I wrote the story while still in college in the US. It is a story of four friends starting on life when their lives take a twisted turn. The events in the film are socially relevant to any given period of time. Returning to Mumbai, it took me some time but when I shared the story with Kabir Sadanand, he loved it. The process of turning the story from paper to celluloid began.” When asked further, Rahul said “I am very proud of the way Fugly has turned out. The audience will like it”. Rahul is also the Associate Director of Fugly. Rahul added “the cherry on the cake was Kabir asking me at the spur of the moment to act as an Arab Sheikh in Leh. He knew I had an Arab Disdasha and Gutra in my bag. It is a rather funny moment.”

The Rise and Rise of Arjun Kapoor

Ever since he made his debut in YRF’s ‘Ishaqzaade’,  Arjun Kapoor has been lauded as the next best thing in Bollywood. Not only did Arjun wow everyone in ‘Ishaqzaade’, but achieved a hat-trick of success with his next two films ‘Gunday’ and ‘2 States’. 

While Ishaqzaade made on a humble budget went on to collect impressive numbers at the B/O, his next two blockbusters Gunday and 2 States had the cash registers ringing. This makes Arjun Kapoor the youngest actor to be welcomed into the 100 crore club. What makes this achievement even more impressive, is the fact that 2 States was a solo-hero film and the first-of-its-kind to see such unprecedented success.

A respected trade analyst states, “Arjun Kapoor is undoubtedly the leader of the pack when it comes to his generation of actors and the box office numbers are there to prove – Backed by 3 blockbusters , the rise of “Arjun Kapoor” has been phenomenal for someone who is just 2 years old in the industry. Arjun Kapoor has truly turned out to be a dark-horse at the box office”.

Arjun will be next seen in Sanjay Kapoor’s ‘Tevar’,  one of the most anticipated films this year.If sources are to believed ,distributors have been clamoring for Tevar after the phenomenal success of 2 States,which garnered the highest box office amount this far for a new-cast film.

Directed by renowned ad filmmaker Amit Sharma , Tevar will also star Sonakshi Sinha , an actress with major box office appeal .All  eyes are on the film as producer Sanjay Kapoor is ecstatic with the developments on the commercial entertainer as it has blockbuster written all over it. 

Says a source, “Tevar is one of the most anticipated films this year as it brings together Sonakshi Sinha , a lucky mascot at the box office and Arjun Kapoor who is turning out to be a box office Boy Wonder.The film will mark the directorial debut of Amit Sharma who also directed the Google ad film and is a talent to watch out for”.
