"I'm eyeing scripts that would get national awards and also win accolades globally," he added. Mangat tasted success in the industry with Omkara, Bollywood's take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy Othello, which fetched rave reviews and critical acclaim and caused film distributor Eros International's annual profit to jump.

I knew it would do well and as expected it worked wonders and since then I have decided to produce at least one different film in a year apart from fundin...

Kelly arrives at the Cook County Criminal Courthouse in Chicago on Monday Photo: Charles Rex Arbogast/ AP Images CHICAGO — For the past two days, when prospective jurors have been interviewed as part of jury selection in the R. Kelly trial, Judge Vincent Gaughan has done most of the questioning, trying to provide whatever levity he can to make the process more bearable. Still, it's no wonder, given the cramped confines and uncomfortable chairs of the back room where this all takes place, that the singer was starting to look tired, possibly even bored during the proceedings in his child-pornography trial. That all changed when potential juror Number 37 walked in on Tuesday afternoon. Number 37 was a white male who appeared to be in his 60s, and with his constant looking around and leaning in, he projected an aura of anxiety. Right off the bat, Number 37 set...
