Director Susanne Bier is stepping into the world of Practical Magic 2 with a clear understanding of what makes the franchise special. For Bier, the opportunity was not simply about revisiting a beloved property, but about creating a big-screen experience rooted in relationships, female themes and emotion. Recalling how she came on board, Bier revealed that the conversation began around Christmas 2024, when she received a call and spoke with stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. “I got a call around Christmas of ‘24. I spoke both to Sandy and to Nicole. “We have this project; it can be really fun. Do you want to read?” And I was like, “Sure, I’d love to read. I mean, I’d love to work with both of you again.” And doing a big, cinematic release that is female-driven and is about something that actually is very close to my heart just sounded incredibly tempting.

Lyricist Sameer had a conversation with Komal Nahta where he criticized the current state of music in Bollywood. He said, “ Jo acchi cheez hoti hai, wahi lambi samay tak chalti hai . So even 100 years later, the old songs will continue to find an audience. A producer told me that he has only hired young kids in his office. I replied, ‘ Acchi baat hai. Kab se rakha hai aapne ?’. They replied, ‘Since 5-6 years’. I told them, ‘There was a time when your company used to come up with 10 super-hit albums every year. But that hasn’t happened in the last 5-6 years. Who have you hired then?’.” Sameer clarified, “I am not saying that the young kids are not talented. But when the old and new can merge together, it can be beneficial. I worked with Sachin-Jigar in FALTU (2011) and wrote songs like ‘ Aaltu Jalaltu’ and ‘ Chaar Baje Gaye Lekin Party Abhi Baaki Hai’ . I proved with these songs that I could collaborate with young kids and come up with such youthful numbers. If you won’t give an opp...
