Shirish wants to make dance film

Film editor-turned-director Shirish Kunder, who is currently working on casting for his next project “Joker”, says he wants to make a film which will be high on dance.

“Wanna make a full on dance film next,” Kunder posted on his Twitter page Monday.

A dance film perhaps won’t be a tough nut for him, given that his wife Farah Khan is among the most successful Bollywood choreographers. His dance film apart, Kunder is currently focusing on “Joker”, which has Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha and Shreyas Talpade in key roles.

“The heroine opposite Shreyas Talpade in ‘Joker’ has been finalised. I should be able to reveal it tomorrow. ‘Joker’ has a very unusual premise. Nervous and excited about it,” he added.

Kunder also promises to make innovative films in future.

“There is no way I can know the box office fate of the films I direct. All I can assure is that I will always try something innovative,” he added.

Vikas Bhalla set for TV comeback

Actor-singer Vikas Bhalla, who has taken a break from the small screen, is to be back with Zee TV’s “Sanjog Se Bani Sangini”.

The actor, who failed to create waves in Bollywood, will enter the show as the manager of a bank where the show’s protagonist Gauri works. Vikas is quite happy.

There usually is always the other woman who becomes the third wheel in the relationship, but here I will be playing the part of the other man in Gauris life. It should make for an interesting role, especially when I get to be the troublemaker, said Vikas, who was earlier seen in shows like “Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin” and “Karishma: A Miracle of Destiny”.
