Press Release


Jan 31, 2023

Author and beauty industry insider Dana Kline announces the successful release and reception of her beauty industry drama, BEAUTYLAND, and that she is pursuing a big-screen adaptation for the book. 

Dana Kline had a dynamic 25-year career in the luxury beauty & fashion space, privy to its inner workings, politics and secrets. Dana served as a C-level executive and consultant for brands such as Puig, Liz Earle, Fusion Brands, LVMH and Christian Dior, and One Direction.

Her book’s compelling story and strong female lead make it a perfect fit for TV or film adaptation and are sure to captivate audiences. “There should be a place for it in this [streaming] world,” says Mel Damski, Oscar & Emmy-nominated Director, Filmmaker and Executive Producer. 

The novel follows the rise of Emma O’Farrell Paige as she breaks free from her dysfunctional Midwest childhood and navigates the competitive industry, playing to win among world-class dealmakers with tenacity and courage. This is “Sex in the City” meets “Mad Men,” told from a powerful personal perspective, delivering an immersive depiction of the cut-throat, vaulted beauty industry. 

Since its release in the fall of 2021, Beautyland by Dana Kline continues to receive stellar reviews from readers, beauty industry veterans and publishing professionals alike. Most recently, the book received a glowing Kirkus Review, the most trusted voice in book discovery. The Kirkus review captures the essence of the novel, brilliantly stating, “Emma always wanted more out of her life. When she was a child, her parents, career con artists, bounced her around from town to town as they pursued their latest schemes, which made it impossible for Emma to feel at home anywhere. […] She follows her path to success in the beauty-product industry, which involves cosmetics, perfume, and many colorful characters […] and quickly rises in her chosen field, making herself indispensable to industry leaders. […] Kline displays an impressive knowledge of the business in which Emma dwells, and this is the novel’s main strength.”

BEAUTYLAND is published by Austin Macauley Publishers Limited and is available worldwide on Amazon, at Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones UK, WH Smith UK, and Dymocks.

Anurag Kashyap Urges Fans to Watch Satluj Amid OTT Ban

Anurag Kashyap Urges Fans to Watch Satluj Amid OTT Ban

Anurag Kashyap Urges Fans to Watch Satluj Any Way They Can Amid OTT Removal

Studio CarryOnHarry Entertainment Desk | 8 July 2026

Director Takes a Stand Against Digital Censorship

Acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has made headlines once again — this time not for a new release, but for publicly calling out what he describes as unjust digital censorship. In a fiery appeal to audiences, Kashyap urged viewers to watch Satluj, the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer that was pulled from ZEE5 shortly after its debut, by any means available to them.

The director’s comments were pointed and unapologetic. He argued that restricting access to a film only amplifies public curiosity, and that suppressing artistic expression through bureaucratic hurdles does more harm than good to the cultural fabric of the country.

What Is Satluj and Why Was It Removed?

Satluj is a hard-hitting drama that examines human rights violations in a raw and unflinching manner. Authorities ordered its removal from the streaming platform citing a lack of proper certification — a claim that Kashyap and several members of the creative team have strongly disputed.

The film’s abrupt disappearance from ZEE5 sparked immediate outrage among cinephiles, civil liberties advocates, and members of the film fraternity who view the move as a troubling precedent for creative freedom in India’s digital entertainment space.

Kashyap’s Message to Netizens

  • He openly encouraged audiences to seek out the film, including through unofficial channels if necessary.
  • He framed censorship as a counterproductive tool that ultimately drives more attention to restricted content.
  • He expressed solidarity with the film’s subject matter — the portrayal of human rights abuses that many feel deserves public attention.

A Broader Conversation About OTT Censorship in Bollywood

The Satluj controversy is part of a growing wave of debates around digital content regulation in India. As OTT platforms expand their reach, government bodies have increasingly moved to assert oversight — raising alarms among filmmakers who prize creative autonomy.

For the latest on stories like this, keep up with Bollywood’s top stories right here on Studio CarryOnHarry, where we track every major development in Hindi cinema and the streaming world.

Industry observers following entertainment industry coverage closely have noted that this incident could set a significant legal and creative benchmark for how Indian courts and regulatory bodies approach OTT content certification going forward.

What This Means for Diljit Dosanjh and Indian Cinema

Diljit Dosanjh, who has steadily built a reputation as one of Bollywood and Punjab’s most versatile and courageous performers, now finds one of his most daring projects caught in a political and legal crossfire. The actor has not yet made an extended public statement, but fan communities and fellow artists have rallied behind the film’s right to be seen.

As the censorship debate rages on, Satluj has unwittingly become a symbol of resistance for filmmakers who believe India’s storytelling potential must not be shackled by regulatory overreach.

Dhanush Drops Cryptic Clue — All Eyes On July Tenth

Something big is brewing in Tamil cinema, and fans are convinced that actor Dhanush is at the centre of it. A mysterious teaser poster bearing the enigmatic initials ‘D x V’ has sent social media into overdrive, with entertainment circles buzzing over what the cryptic message could mean.

Sources reveal that the announcement is locked in for July tenth, though no official details have been confirmed as yet. The intriguing poster has sparked widespread speculation about a potential collaboration between Dhanush and celebrated director Venkat Prabhu — a pairing that insiders describe as nothing short of a dream team.

If the rumours prove accurate, the project would mark a significant milestone, reportedly becoming the actor’s fifty-sixth feature film. According to insiders, the scale of anticipation surrounding this reveal is a testament to Dhanush’s enduring star power across South Indian cinema.

Meanwhile, some fans are questioning whether the July tenth update may instead be connected to his current production, ‘OM’, adding yet another layer of intrigue to an already electrifying situation. Critics note that either outcome would be a major moment for the industry.

All will be revealed when July tenth arrives — and if the early buzz is anything to go by, the wait promises to be well worth it.
