Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who is receiving a lot of acclaim for his work in the recently released streaming title ‘The Broken News 2’, shared that he has a WhatsApp group with fellow actors and longtime friends, Rajkummar Rao and Vijay Varma.
This WhatsApp group is called the ‘Majboot Actors Association’. The friendship between these actors dates back to their days as students at the Film and Television Institute of India (Ftii). The three of them graduated from Ftii in 2008.
While Vijay went down south to find work in the early phase of his career, Jaideep got his break with the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Khatta Meetha’ in 2010. Rajkummar Rao, too, got the cult-classic film ‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha’ in 2010.
Vijay made noise in 2016 with the film ‘Pink’ in which he starred in a negative role. Later, he starred in ‘Gully Boy’, and established himself as one of the most sought-after actors in Hindi cinema.

Veteran Indian actor Manoj Bajpayee had to get his head around plenty of jargon when starring in ZEE5 Global’s Silence sequel.
“It was enjoyable, but also very challenging,” Bajpayee told Deadline about the Silence 2 shoot. “It was difficult remembering all the forensic technical words and trying to educate myself with forensic procedures.”
Starring Bajpayee and Prachi Desai in the lead roles, Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout is a direct-to-digital release on the ZEE5 Global streaming platform, which premiered yesterday.
After starring in the first instalment titled Silence… Can You Hear It?, Bajpayee returned for Silence 2, where he plays leading investigator Acp Avinash Verma, tasked with analyzing a mass shootout that takes place in a Mumbai night club. Layers begin to peel, however, as something bigger, deeper and darker appears at play.

Bhakshak by writer-director Pulkit seems to have been reverse-engineered to quite a degree, which is why the result isn’t as engaging as it should have been. What is the issue here? It’s hard to pinpoint in a single viewing, but there is an instinct that points to the answer. The movie, written by Jyotsana Nath alongside Pulkit, has a significant idea at the center of it, but how best to show it becomes the issue. You have to have the right scenario and a carefully planned-out sequence of events that invites the audience into the world of Bhakshak. The film stars Bhumi Pednekar, someone who has quite boldly chosen films with something to say. She seems to be the one figure in the film that the audience can see and then can immediately be on board with the plot of the film. As far as having a relatable figure is concerned,...

Two-part extravaganzas have always been huge gambles for their creative teams. Hollywood is no stranger to shooting back-to-back sequels, from “The Matrix” to “The Hobbit” to Netflix's recent “Rebel Moon” saga, and Asian cinema has followed a similar path. John Woo split his expansive Han Dynasty battle epic “Red Cliff” in two for much of its worldwide distribution, while Bollywood's “Gangs of Wasseypur”(with its initial 319 minute runtime) has seen many iterations, first as two films, then as eight much shorter episodes for its Netflix distribution. In all of these cases, there is a gravitas that comes with the filmmaker's vision, bursting with ideas and flourishes that cannot be contained in the average one-off cinema experience. Yet with that comes a crucial hope for the goodwill of the audience, that they're willing to come back, buy another ticket and sit back down to see the conclusion of the story.

Filmmaker Ishan Shukla, whose dystopian sci-fi animation film ‘Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust’, which will have its world premiere at the prestigious 53rd International Film Festival of Rotterdam (IFFR) smiles, “Well, it may sound all cool now, but believe me, I was really worried that time — what if I don’t get a job after the animation course? Of course, I don’t generally admit that,” he tells Ians.
While he did get a job in Singapore, in less than a year it started getting boring for him.

The actor recently lent his voice to the Hindi version of the Marvel superhero Hawkeye in the audio podcast ‘Marvel’s Wastelanders’.
Talking about the same, Jaideep told Ians: “Audio storytelling enhances your imagination a lot more compared to the visual medium. In old times, grandmothers used to narrate fables to the kids, that too was audio-driven storytelling and what it did to kids was it opened up their imagination.”
“Those fables gave the power of a vivid imagination to kids as they pictured in their minds the characters and the world of the story narrated to them. So, audio storytelling is more fun and exciting because it demands an active participation of the listener,” he added.

Celebrated Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap was in vintage free, frank and forthright form at a masterclass in Toronto on Sunday.
“I have a massive problem with authority and authority has problems with me,” was one of the many nuggets from Kashyap, whose very first film “Paanch” (2003) was banned in India and whose subsequent work has been the subject of domestic scrutiny while being celebrated both at home and globally.
Kashyap’s cop noir “Kennedy,” which had its world premiere at Cannes earlier this year, is on an extended festival run. It opened the 12th edition of Bmo International Film Festival of South Asia (Iffsa), where he delivered the masterclass. Kashyap was in conversation with festival patron, acclaimed filmmaker Anup Singh (“The Song of Scorpions”). Unlike masterclasses that look back at the filmmaker’s oeuvre, Singh chose instead to look at the broad themes that have informed Kashyap’s work over...

“Jawan” has been in theatres for three weeks, and the film is breaking records daily. With mass-appealing action sequences, emotional character arcs, and the screen presence of Shah Rukh Khan like never before, Atlee has created a movie that is full of awe and can’t be missed. With it, Shah Rukh Khan solidified his comeback as the heartthrob of people after his five-year hiatus from Bollywood. Critically, though, “Jawan” is deemed too far-fetched in terms of logic and lacks substantial content (though I can’t entirely agree with it), as it is a compilation of Atlee’s entire body of work, stitching together elements from different sources, both national and international. But it is odd to seek logic in a work like this, as it is meant to be a mass entertainer from the beginning, celebrating the persona of its protagonist, and director Atlee has accomplished this task with conviction.

Anuragis about to release his short film titled ‘Bebaak’ as a producer. It stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sarah Hashmi, Sheeba Chadha, and Vipin Sharma.

However, her father’s financial constraints threaten to shatter her aspirations. In a desperate move, her father takes her to a conservative Muslim Trust that provides funds for promising students, putting her in a dilemma as she grapples with her beliefs and dreams.
Discussing societal patriarchy and the suppression of women’s empowerment through religious contexts, Anurag said:...
