The film will be based on the life of spiritual guru Satya Sai Baba.

Vasu is the cinematographer and Jonnavithula is the lyricist. Dialogues are by Rajendra Kumar. The shooting will commence shortly.
The makers are planning to release the film worldwide on November 23, which marks Satya Sai Baba’s birthday.
The Bhatts’ new offering is the sequel to ‘Murder’. This one’s set in Goa during Christmas and New Year, when vacationers flock this hugely popular touristy destination. The bustling streets and beaches make it impossible for the authorities to keep tabs on everyone and everything. A serial killer is on the loose… An interesting concept, without doubt!
Before I begin analyzing ‘Murder 2′, let me clear a few misconceptions. The writer of this film may have drawn some inspiration from the Korean film ‘The Chaser’ [2008], but it’s not a blatant rip-off. Nor is it a remake or adaptation of the American action film ’12 Rounds’ [2009]. ‘Murder 2′ deals with the crimes related to the flesh trade and exposes the murkier side of the society.
Mohit Suri, who had directed the sequel to ‘Raaz’ ['Raaz The Mystery Continues'], is also entrusted the responsibility of taking the ‘Murder’ series forward. Compared to what Anurag Basu did in ‘Murder’, ‘Murder 2′ is a dark film. Mohit is an efficient, stylish storyteller and he leaps notches above the prequel in every aspect. There are some scenes that may appear disturbing, but that’s the strength of this movie. It’s not for the weak-hearted. In point of fact, Mohit and writer Shagufta Rafique take the story to a heightened violent level.
Director Mohit Suri and writer Shagufta Rafique come to the point at the very start, when a gruesome murder takes place. Thereafter, we are introduced to the varied characters in the plot and what makes it all the more interesting is that all characters are either grey or black. Also, the identity of the serial killer is never concealed, but the motive is, which one realizes much later. It comes as a jolt, honestly!
While the screenplay gives you no time to ponder since it unravels at a feverish pace, the assorted characters and their tracks keep you on tenterhooks throughout. The victim finds herself cornered, the ex-cop is looking for evidence, the serial killer finds himself being shielded by a powerful and influential person… the sequence of events that lead to the culmination are truly nail-biting.

New Delhi: DMK MP Kanimozhi, presently in Tihar Jail for her involvement in the 2G spectrum allocation scam, Thursday issued legal notices to a Chennai-based weekly magazine.
Kanomozhi counsel V.G. Pragasam said: "Our client states that ‘Junior Vikatan’ in its May 25 edition published an article with a photograph of her husband and her 11-year old son."
The DMK MP has alleged that the article is "imaginary, derogatory and mischievous".
"Besides, the publication of my son’s photo is highly defamatory, malicious and against all established ethics of journalism," says Kanimozhi in her notice.
The notice states that her son is a school-going child and the publication of article along with picture tends to identify him and embarrass him among his peers and teachers.
Kanimozhi’s lawyer said: "It is amply clear that this is a calculated attempt with ulterior motive to mentally torture, malign, intimidate and shame our client`s minor child. You have abused the freedom of press with total disgraced to any probity ethics."
The MP has asked the publication to "tender your open unconditional apology within three days by publishing an apology".
She has threatened to "institute criminal and civil proceedings against all of you besides initiating contempt of court proceedings as the matter is sub-judice".

Defending champion Francesca Schiavone also made it back to the French Open final, beating Marion Bartoli of France 6-3, 6-3 Thursday in the semifinals.
The Australian Open runner-up, who became the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam final this year in Melbourne, was able to chase down nearly everything Sharapova had to offer on Court Philippe Chatrier.
The wind was a factor yet again at Roland Garros, and Sharapova’s serve suffered because of it. The seventh-seeded Russian had 10 double-faults in the match, including on match point.
"She has a huge and big serve, so I was like: ‘Please, double-fault. That way I can win the match,’" Li said. "I never believe myself I can be in final in French Open. I wish I can do even better on Saturday."
