Taapsee Pannu is set to be seen in another physically demanding role with Gandhari, which features several intense action sequences. Adding an international connection to the film’s action is Brahim Chab, who worked as the fight choreographer on Monkey Man.

When Oni Sen was first approached to direct Operation Safed Sagar, Netflix India’s highly acclaimed military action series, he was initially skeptical about taking on the job, precisely because of its enormous scale. The show had all the ingredients of a sprawling war drama, fighter jets, aerial combat, military operations and the India-Pakistan conflict. However, what ultimately drew him in was not the scale but the human story underneath the combat. “Spectacle alone has never been enough to move me. Throughout my career across advertising films and long-format storytelling, I have always tried to focus on the raw, intricate spectrum of human emotion. Stories are only as powerful as the feelings they evoke,” says Sen in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama. Coming off the back of two seasons of Asur, Sen needed a project that would demand something entirely different from him a completely new canvas to explore. Although he was initially skeptical, everything shifted when cre...

Bhumi Pednekar has consistently spoken out on issues concerning society and the safety and dignity of women and children. Amid reports of rape and gender-based violence, the actor expressed concern over what she described as a growing sense of “impunity”, saying that such incidents were becoming “an accepted reality in the society.” “WE HAVE A PROBLEM,” Bhumi said. “Rape and gender-based violence are becoming an accepted reality in our society. And that should terrify all of us. HOW IS THIS NOT A STATE OF EMERGENCY? A 16-year-old gang-raped. A 3-year-old sexually assaulted. And how many more cases remain unreported, unheard and unseen? How much is it going to take for us to call this an emergency? There is a deep-rooted patriarchal sickness in our society that we need to confront,” she added. The actor also stressed that discussions around sexual violence should not focus on a woman’s clothing, appearance, location or the time of day. “We see young boys making lewd gestures openly in ...

Some stories take years to reach the screen. Asghar Wajahat’s Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai took nearly four decades. Written in 1989, the acclaimed play has now been adapted into Rajkumar Santoshi’s Batwara 1947, with Sunny Deol in the lead and Shabana Azmi playing the elderly Hindu woman who refuses to leave her Lahore home. The long wait, however, had less to do with the story and more to do with the sheer scale of Santoshi’s cinematic vision. Speaking about why the screen adaptation took so long to materialise, Wajahat reveals that Santoshi was never interested in making a straightforward, modest adaptation of the play. The filmmaker wanted to recreate the world of Partition with a strong sense of realism. However, that ambition demanded substantial financial backing, which the project did not easily attract. “Santoshi wanted to make a film according to his own concept,” says the 80-year-old scholar, novelist and playwright to Bollywood Hungama. “His concept was that he rea...
