Fox Star to release What’s Your Number on 14 October
MUMBAI: Fox Star Studios will release the Anna Faris and Chris Evans-starrer What‘s Your Number? on 14 October.
In the film, Faris plays Ally Darling, who has just read an article in a magazine that women who have had relationships with twenty or more men are unlikely to settle down and get married. In a panic, she realises that she has reached her limit and instead of looking for a new boyfriend, she decides to revisit her 19 ex-boy friends with the hope that there must be one ideal candidate among them! Assisting her on this quest is her attractive neighbour Colin, played by Chris Evans.
With her impeccable comic timing, warmth and depth, Faris brings Ally to life with such authenticity that every girl will be able to easily identify with her.
As an actor and filmmaker, Faris appreciated the story being told from Ally‘s point of view, in a no-holds-barred way that mixes sex, heart, fun and emotion.
Packed with some truly hilarious moments, the film promises to be a complete entertainer for its interesting take on ‘finding true love‘ and the fabulous chemistry between Anna Faris and Chris Evans.
What‘s Your Number? has been directed by Mark Mylod, who had earlier directed the HBO TV series Entourage.

Marico founder Harsh Mariwala’s book Harsh Realities set for film adaptation
Almighty Motion Picture taps Karan Vyas to script Marico story
MUMBAI: Almighty Motion Picture is turning its lens on India Inc., with plans to adapt Harsh Realities: The Making of Marico into a screen project. The story charts the rise of Harsh Mariwala, the chairman and founder of Marico, and is currently in early development, according to a report by Variety.
Writer Karan Vyas, known for his work on Scam 1992, Scoop and Made in India – A Titan Story, is attached to pen the screenplay. The project continues the studio’s growing interest in real-life Indian narratives that blend business with human drama.
At the heart of the story lies a defining moment in 1987, when Mariwala chose to step away from the family-run Bombay Oil Industries and strike out on his own. What followed was not just the creation of a company, but the reinvention of a legacy. Marico would go on to become a global FMCG player, with brands like Parachute, Saffola, Set Wet and Livon becoming household names, reaching nearly one in three Indians.
The source material, co-authored by Mariwala and renowned business strategist Ram Charan, offers more than a boardroom chronicle. It captures the grit behind the growth, the risks behind the rewards and the leadership lessons forged along the way.
The adaptation aims to move beyond balance sheets and brand milestones, focusing instead on the person behind the enterprise. Expect a narrative that leans into the emotional stakes of entrepreneurship, where decisions are as personal as they are professional.
Today, Marico draws about a quarter of its revenue from international markets across Asia and Africa, reflecting its steady transformation from a domestic player into a multinational force. Yet, if the makers have their way, the screen version will remind audiences that every global success story begins with a leap of faith.
With development set to begin soon, this is one business story that may just trade spreadsheets for storytelling, and profit margins for moments that linger
