Renowned theater practitioner Pravesh Kumar’s feature film directorial debut “Little English” will release in U.K. cinemas and go on a tour across the country from March 17.
The film is set amidst a dysfunctional Punjabi family in the pressure cooker life of a terraced suburban home in Slough. Newly arrived from India, naive Simmy has come to marry the family’s eldest son Raj, who runs away, leaving Simmy locked in the house by her domineering mother-in-law. Simmy is smarter than she appears and enlists the support of the family’s disgruntled in-laws, including a sugar crazed, diabetic grandpa and a brother-in-law fresh out of jail.
The film stars emerging talent Rameet Rauli and Viraj Juneja, supported by Seema Bowri, Madhav Sharma, Goldy Notay, Ameet Chana and Nikki Patel.
Dominique Unsworth, Lesley-Anne Macfarlane and Andrew St. Maur are the producers.

Mumbai, Sep 5 (Ians) Actress Kangana Ranaut has reacted to an abusive comment that Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut reportedly made about her in a recent interview.
The actress took to her verified Twitter account on Saturday and wrote: "In 2008 Movie Mafia declared me a Psycho, in 2016 they called me a Witch and Stalker in 2020 Maharashtra Minister publicity gave me the title of H****khor Ladki, because I said after a murder I feel unsafe in Mumbai, where are Intolerance debate warriors?"
Kangana's tweet came in response to a tweet by political observer Madhav Sharma, who wrote: "Sanjay Raut is saying that @KanganaTeam said things against Shiva Ji Maharaj. It's a lie. She has never said anything against the great Shiva Ji. A woman is being abused publicly by people in power and the so called "freedom of speech warriors" will not even say a word. Shame!!"

Islamabad-based photographer Jiah Ali posted a pic of the 18-year-old Khan at the city’s Sunday Bazaar, and thanks to his striking blue eyes, lush head of oh-this-i-don’t-do-anything-it-just-kind-of-dries-like-this hair and laissez-faire stubbled topped off by the greatest mustache since prime-era Tom Selleck, it ⦠gained a following.

One of the classic comedies of William Shakespeare gets a new treatment in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Much Ado About Nothing. Directed by Iqbal Kahn, he has translated the vibrant comedy to modern day India. The production stars Meera Syal and Paul Bhattacharjee who play the sparring lovers, Beatrice and Benedick. Following its premiere last month in the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford upon Avon, the play transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre in London for five weeks from 24 September.
