Pune: The Indian Express will be unveiling its iconic SCREEN magazine on Friday in Mumbai. The grand relaunch of SCREEN — which returns to the group after 11 years — will kick off with its first-ever digital cover featuring the Stree 2 star Shraddha Kapoor. The gala event will also feature a special panel discussion featuring the acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani and talented actors Vikrant Massey and Vijay Varma.

SCREEN has been a leading voice in Indian entertainment since 1949. The magazine, which has covered the Indian film industry closely over the decades, will now be back in a new avatar.

After the unveiling of the digital cover, which will be graced by Shraddha Kapoor, the event will host two stimulating panel discussions. ‘SCREEN Live’ will see Shraddha take center stage as she discusses her life, career, and stardom, especially after the success of Stree 2, the horror-comedy that made history at the box office.

Shraddha will be in conversation with Jyoti Sharma Bawa, The Indian Express‘ Entertainment Editor, followed by a special segment hosted by Anant Goenka, Executive Director, The Indian Express Group. The session will end with a question-answer round with the audience.
