I have spent a lot of mental energy wishing for @iamsrk in a rom com about grownups (preferably directed by Dibakar Banerjee) but it's possible that I even more badly want him in an adaptation of Ray's Nayak.

Some of you asked, so the Kapoor Family Tree—a project looking at influence, not just marriages and births—has been updated. In addition to baby Raha, I was kindly sent new information about Prem Chopra's family connections (zoom in on the lower left corner). Permalink to follow.

A few years ago, I got to have a brief chat with Sushant Singh Rajput. I immediately told him how much I had loved Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, and he chuckled and said everyone had hated it. I replied "Well, they were wrong" and he flashed a movie star grin.

I want the next YRF spy universe films to 1) retrofit Saif's Agent Vinod in there because I LOVE THAT MOVIE (and it also fits the Pakistani woman love interest for Indian spy trend) and 2) make Nandini's backstory film, with someone playing young Dimple in the 80s. #Pathaan
