See saw: Girl Talk

After Aamir Khans show Satyamev Jayate voiced concern about female foeticide in India,actors Ajay Devgn and Kajol have taken up the cause. The two,also brand ambassadors for Save the Girl Child campaign for the Government of India,are producing a three-minute short film on the subject. Devgn plans to have the film screened in theatres during intervals. I would like to blend the message with entertainment. We are making a short film and if that could run between entertaining films,it will reach out to more people, he said.

Getting Graphic

Encouraged by the response to graphic novels based on Shah Rukh Khans Don 2 and Saif Ali Khans Agent Vinod,filmmaker Prakash Jha has decided to opt for this medium for his upcoming film,Chakravyuh. The film uses the Naxal issue as a backdrop and Jha feels that a graphic novel will help him communicate with the youth. With an animation company signed up for the project,the graphic novel is already underway and will be launched a month before the films theatrical release.
