Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and composer A.R. Rahman have announced a new collaboration titled Masoom: The New Generation<\/em>, a contemporary film inspired by Kapur\u2019s 1983 classic Masoom<\/em>. The project marks another creative partnership between Kapur and Rahman, who have previously worked together on projects such as Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Bombay Dreams, and Why? The Musical. For the new film, Rahman will not only compose the music but will also serve as a co-producer.<\/p>\n According to the makers, Masoom: The New Generation<\/em> will examine themes of family, identity, love, and migration in a contemporary setting while retaining the emotional foundation associated with the original film.<\/p>\n Speaking about the project, Shekhar Kapur said, \u201cFor a long time, I\u2019ve felt that the themes of Masoom<\/em> deserved to be revisited through the lens of today\u2019s world. Families, relationships, identity; these ideas have evolved so much, and cinema must evolve with them. Rahman has always had the rare ability to create music that speaks directly to the soul of a story and its audience. Having him as both composer and creative partner on this journey makes it even more meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n A.R. Rahman also shared his thoughts on joining the film in multiple capacities. \u201cWorking with Shekhar has always been a deeply enriching experience, he has been a mentor and a creative force in many ways. When he shared the vision for this film, I felt compelled to be involved beyond the music. There\u2019s something timeless about Masoom<\/em>, and reinterpreting that emotional world for a new generation feels both exciting and necessary,\u201d Rahman said.<\/p>\n The film will feature an ensemble cast that includes Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Manoj Bajpayee, Nithya Menen, and Kaveri Kapur.<\/p>\n Released in 1983, the original Masoom<\/em> remains one of the most acclaimed films in Hindi cinema and is remembered for its portrayal of family relationships and emotional conflicts. With Masoom: The New Generation<\/em>, the makers aim to revisit some of those themes while placing them in a contemporary social context.<\/p>\n The film is currently in pre-production and is expected to begin filming later this year. A worldwide theatrical release is planned for 2026.<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Shekhar Kapur describes an emotional airport encounter with a Masoom fan; the fan says, \u201cSir, they don\u2019t make films from the heart anymore\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Tags : <\/strong> A.
