Cameron ready to share 3D expertise with India
MUMBAI: Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron has expressed his willingness to share his expertise of 3D films with Indian filmmakers.
The Avatar director was addressing the opening day of the INK (Innovation And Knowledge) Conference being held in Lavasa, a major new township coming up near Mumbai.
When asked if he would make a film in India, Cameron said jocularly, “Maybe after the third Avatar. But if there is an Indian director who‘d like to make a film – it could be about the Ramayana or the Mahabharata – we can offer the technology we‘ve already developed like the 3D system and the digital 3D Fusion Camera (which he co-developed).”
Cameron also divulged the fact that he has started writing the script for the sequel of his film Avatar II. He was also working on Avatar III.
Talking about India Cameron commented, “fascinating now that I‘ve been here a couple of times.” Cameron previously visited India in March this year, addressing the India Today conclave held in New Delhi where he spoke about the future of cinema.
The director said that he had taken a dip in the Ganga river. “It was nice to feed in the spirituality, nice to share in the belief system. You do feel something,” he said

ZEE5, Applause announce new film Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa
Rajat Kapoor’s dark comedy thriller to stream on ZEE5 from April 10
MUMBAI: ZEE5 and Applause Entertainment have announced their next direct-to-digital collaboration, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, a darkly comic whodunnit set to stream from April 10.
Produced in association with Mithya Talkies and written and directed by Rajat Kapoor, the film marks the latest addition to a growing slate of genre-diverse titles from the two partners. Their previous collaborations include dramas, psychological thrillers and dark comedies, with this outing leaning into a layered murder mystery.
The film features an ensemble cast including Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Waluscha De Sousa and Saurabh Shukla, among others. The narrative promises a mix of satire, strained relationships and hidden tensions, inviting viewers to look beyond the crime to the dynamics that lead up to it.
ZEE5 business head hindi and chief channel officer Andtv Kaveri Das said, “Our collaboration with Applause Entertainment has been instrumental in building a strong slate with titles such as Bloody Brothers, Mithya and Jab Khuli Kitaab. Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa is a natural progression, aligning with our focus on genre-led content that resonates with audiences.”
Applause Entertainment business head movies Sunil Chainani said, “This collaboration with ZEE5 continues to stand out for its diversity of genres and narrative styles. Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa adds a sharp, darkly comic whodunnit to that mix, driven by Rajat Kapoor’s distinct voice.”
Sharing his creative approach, Rajat Kapoor said he was drawn to the emotional layers behind the genre. “I was interested not just in the mechanics of a whodunnit, but the emotional violence that precedes physical violence. These are people who appear close, yet carry unspoken tensions that eventually surface.”
The partnership between ZEE5 and Applause continues to build on a shared focus on distinctive storytelling, with each project exploring a different tone and genre.
With its mix of humour, tension and ensemble storytelling, the film aims to offer more than just a mystery. It promises a closer look at the secrets people keep, and the consequences when they finally come to light.
