The evening will sparkle with an electrifying panel lineup, including Bollywood’s storytelling genius Rajkumar Hirani and rising star Vijay Varma. Known for being at the forefront of Indian cinema since 1951, SCREEN is all set to embrace its new digital avatar and keep delivering the latest in Indian entertainment.

After Shraddha Kapoor graces the digital cover reveal, fans can look forward to SCREEN Live, where she will dive into her life, career and her blockbuster success with Stree 2.
