Friday, December 30, 2011 14:09 IST
With the movie calendar of 2012 packed with new bollywood releases, we pick up from where we left yesterday, as reported Curtain Raiser, listing some more of next year's films.

Lootera: Not one to rest on laurels post Udaan, director Vikramaditya Motwane revisits the 1960s with his second film.

Interestingly, this is hero Ranveer Singh's first movie outside the YRF banner that pairs him with Sonakshi Sinha.
Release: To be announced

Cocktail: Being Cyrus might not have set the cash registers ringing, but it sure got Homi Adajania noticed as a director to reckon with.

He returns with Cocktail, an unusual love story, written by Imtiaz Ali and featuring Saif Ali Khan (also producer) and Deepika Padukone.
Release: To be announced.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's ambitious biography on Milkha Singh. Farhan Akhtar has already started training to play the Flying Sikh, as the athlete was popularly known as. Sonam Kapoor plays his love before he got married to Nirmal Kaur.
Release: To be announced

Zilla Ghaziabad: Sanjay Dutt plays a cop yet again (besides Department and Thaanedaar Returns) in this movie based on gang wars in the mid 1990s in Ghaziabad. Arshad Warsi plays his first negative character as Prakash Fauji, while Vivek Oberoi plays his nemesis, a professor-turned-gangster in this Anand Kumar directed film.
Release: To be announced

Maatru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola: Thanks to open date diary, Imran Khan could sign up for this Vishal Bhardwaj rom-com, also featuring Anushka Sharma and set in rustic Rajasthan. The young actor is these days trying to get into Saif Ali Khan's Langda Tyagi mould at the behest of the filmmaker.

Perhaps that is something that first choice Ajay Devgn didn't want to do. And the young Khan had no qualms about.
Release: To be announced

Kismat, Love, Paisa, Dilli: Three years after the acclaimed surprise success of Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local, director Sanjay Khanduri returns with what was touted to be as the sequel to the Abhay Deol movie.

However, this one, starring Vivek Oberoi and Mallika Sherawat, has been renamed as Kismat, Love, Paisa, Dilli or KLPD as short, for a popular Hindi slang.
Release: To be announced

Rock The Shaadi: One of the most promising directors of 2008, Navdeep Singh returns with his second movie. Said to be a zombie-comedy, it features his favourite Abhay Deol, along with Genelia D'Souza.
Release: To be announced

Shootout At Wadala: After their fallout, post Shootout At Lokhandwala, director Sanjay Gupta and producer Ekta Kapoor join hands for yet another film based on reality.

However, this time they're tracing the first encounter of Mumbai, of Manya Surve by cop Isaque Bhagwan in 1981. Anil Kapoor plays the cop while John Abraham plays the gangster. Vidya Balan has been reportedly confirmed as the don's moll.
Release: To be announced

English Vinglish: Nearly a decade and a half since Judaai, Sridevi makes her comeback. Discounting her special appearance in Halla Bol (2008), English Vinglish sees her as a protagonist struggling against hardships after her husband dies in the movie, which set in the US.

Balki, director of Cheeni Kum and Paa, takes a backseat as the producer overseeing the directorial debut of his wife Gauri Shinde.
Release: To be announced

I, Me Aur Main: Kapil Sharma, son of astronaut Rakesh Sharma, makes his directorial debut with this slice-of-life movie. Chitrangada Singh and Prachi Desai also feature with John Abraham, who's also producing the film with Goldie Behl-Srishti Arya and Reliance Entertainment.
Release: To be announced

Ishq In Paris: Preity Zinta makes her debut as a producer while also doubling up as the leading lady. Helmed by her good friend Prem Soni (Main Aur Mrs Khanna), this one also stars French actress Isabelle Adjani and as the title suggests, is a love story set in Paris.
Release: June 29

Vicky Donor: Director Shoojit Sircar has a tough task on hand with this one. More so because it's reported to launch Hema Malini's daughter Ahana as an actress, paired opposite Prateik. Besides, it's John Abraham's solo production.
Release: To be announced.

Shirin Farhad: Bela Sehgal, editor sister of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, finally makes her directorial debut. Interestingly, director Farah Khan makes her debut as an actress, paired with Boman Irani.
Release: To be announced.
