Morpheus Media Ventures laps up Shah Rukh Khan’s Dulha Mil Gaya
MUMBAI: Morpheus Media Ventures (MMV), a boutique media firm, has acquired part ownership rights of Shah Rukh Khan‘s forthcoming film Dulha Mil Gaya.
MMV, that has acquired 50 per cent equity, will be the sole presenter of the film produced by Viveck Vaswani‘s Insight Productions.
“We will not only provide financial capital but also our network of distribution partners and marketing that will do justice to a film of this stature,” said MMV head Rajat Jhunjhunwala in a statement.
“While much has been said about the film, the team at Morpheus used its own judgment to evaluate the potential of movie and went ahead with the deal,” he averred.
Set in Punjab and the Caribbean, the film stars Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan besides Shah Rukh in a cameo. The film is the directorial debut of Muddassar Aziz.
MMV, involved in producing regional films, is exploring other avenues in the entertainment space. Currently, it has two Hindi and one Marathi films under production.
Based on true events the story is an emotional drama that transformed the city of Los Angeles.
The release of Changeling will also be promoted on Radio Mirchi. The radio partner will promote the home video launch via RJ mentions and contests.
At the retail front, exclusive offers have also been planned for women shoppers.
BIG Music & Home Entertainment CEO Kulmeet Makkar says, “We are very pleased to bring this dramatic and emotional film which is based on a true story. I am sure the Indian audiences and critics will agree that one cannot miss this excellent movie.”

Shekhar Suman opens acting academy in Mumbai
The veteran actor-presenter launches SSFA, promising immersive, mentorship-led training for aspiring actors and storytellers
Mumbai: Forty years in front of the camera, and Shekhar Suman still isn’t done. The actor, host, writer and director, one of Indian entertainment’s most restless polymaths, is now training his sights on the next generation, launching the Shekhar Suman Film Academy (SSFA) in Mumbai on 22nd April 2026. Registrations for the inaugural batch are already open.
SSFA pitches itself squarely against formula-driven acting schools, leading with an intensive three-month programme that Suman says he personally designed and will largely conduct himself. The curriculum blends voice and speech work, emotional access, body awareness and camera technique with the Linklater Voice Method, film language and on-set discipline, and rounds off with a student film, giving trainees their first taste of a real set.
Masterclasses with actors, casting directors and filmmakers sit alongside the core course. The academy is conceived as a platform that will eventually sprawl into screenwriting, direction, cinematography, music production and post-production: a full creative ecosystem rather than a single acting school.
“For me, this academy is not just an institution. It is a very personal way of giving back to the craft that has given me everything,” said Suman. “Over the years, acting has taught me discipline, imagination, resilience, and the importance of truth in performance. Through this academy, I hope to create something that goes beyond training and becomes a true creative journey for every student who walks in.”
Behind the scenes, the academy is backed by GBM Studios. Dharmesh Sangani, founder and visionary, is the driving force, bringing what the academy describes as “a focused approach to creating meaningful opportunities within the industry.” Adhyayan Suman, founder and director and Shekhar’s son, adds a performer’s perspective honed across acting, music and direction. Ekant Babani, partner and chief operating officer, handles strategy and operations.
Entry is deliberately low-barrier. No prior training is needed: applicants sit a basic self-audition test, shifting the focus firmly to potential rather than polish. The academy says it aims to stay accessible while delivering a premium, hands-on experience.
In a country where acting schools multiply almost as fast as OTT platforms, Suman’s personal stamp and his willingness to stand in the room and teach may be the sharpest edge SSFA has. For those ready to test that promise, the curtain is already up. Apply at shekharsumanfilmacademy.com
