“I think because real people, you can’t write them, you just have to find them and In Transit, the subject of it- it was about real people who told their stories and their stories are so dramatic and so heroic, so that’s why”, Reema Kagti added.
A new reprised version from 'Crew' is out. 'Choli Ke Peeche' starring Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon is out. All three women actors look dapper in the song, however, it is Kareena Kapoor who steals the show in the song.

Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan has revealed that she adores Russian literature and 20th-century Russian history. She is currently waiting for the release of her next streaming film, 'Ae Watan Mere Watan.'
The actress, who studied history in school, said in an interview with IANS that she finds it fascinating since significant events in Russian history, such as Vladimir Lenin's ascent to power and the collapse of the Soviet Union, transpired over a 100-year period.
She told IANS: “I like 20th-century Russian history a lot. I think it’s very interesting how they went from Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev, and Mikhail Gorbachev to the fall of the Soviet Union, ye sab 100 salon mein hua hai. It’s very interesting to observe it that way.”
She also talked about how much she loved Russian literature and named Fyodor Dostoevsky as her favourite writer.
She said: “I also like Russian literature a lot. Fyodor Dostoevsky, his ‘Crime and Punishment’ is my favourite, the novel ‘Anna Karenina’. Alexander Pushkin is one of my favourites as well. So, Russia I have a special spot for as a student of history.”
