Sajid Khan Makes Comeback with Horror Film 'Hundred', Introducing Govinda's Son to Bollywood
In a significant career move, filmmaker Sajid Khan is poised to return to the director's chair after an extended break, taking on the challenge of helming a horror drama. His upcoming project, titled 'Hundred', marks not only his comeback but also serves as the Bollywood debut platform for Govinda's son, Yashvardhan Ahuja. This development has generated considerable buzz in the entertainment industry, signaling a fresh chapter for both the veteran director and the newcomer.
Cast Details and Production Commencement
According to industry reports, the film will feature Yashvardhan Ahuja alongside Nitanshi Goel, known for her role in 'Laapataa Ladies', as the lead actors. The production officially kicked off with shooting commencing at Mumbai's Film City just two days ago. A source close to the project revealed that the makers deliberately chose Friday, January 23, to start filming, aligning it with the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchmi. This strategic timing underscores the team's hopes for a prosperous and successful shoot.
Sajid Khan's Recent Activities and Health Update
Prior to this announcement, Sajid Khan was in the news due to a foot injury sustained while filming for an Ekta Kapoor project in Mumbai. The incident resulted in a fracture that required surgical intervention. His sister, filmmaker Farah Khan, provided reassurance about his recovery, stating to Hindustan Times, "The surgery is done; he is absolutely fine now." Khan was last seen publicly as a contestant on the reality show 'Bigg Boss 16', hosted by Salman Khan, where he formed notable bonds with fellow participants like Shiv Thakare, MC Stan, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Sumbul Touqeer Khan, and Abdu Rozik.
Govinda's Role in His Son's Career Journey
In an insightful interview with MissMalini, Sunita Ahuja, Govinda's wife, shed light on the family's approach to Yashvardhan's professional path. She emphasized that despite being the son of a superstar, Yashvardhan did not seek special assistance from his father, and Govinda refrained from intervening. Sunita recounted, "Being Govinda’s son, he didn't tell him, ‘Aap meri help kardo.’ Govinda ne bhi uski koi help nahi ki. Maine uske muh par bola, ‘Tu baap hai ki kya hai?’" This statement highlights the family's emphasis on independence and self-reliance in navigating the competitive film industry.
The entertainment landscape eagerly anticipates 'Hundred', as it combines Sajid Khan's directorial expertise with the fresh talent of Yashvardhan Ahuja and Nitanshi Goel, promising a thrilling addition to the horror genre in Bollywood.
