Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri calls out ‘misogynistic’ reference to Pallavi Joshi as his wife: "She has produced and created more meaningful work than your collective reports ever will"

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has spoken in support of actor-producer Pallavi Joshi after she was introduced as the “wife of filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri” in a report following her appointment to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). While Joshi is married to Agnihotri, the filmmaker questioned why her professional achievements were not given equal prominence in the report. Agnihotri, who has often voiced his views on issues related to cinema and society, criticised the way Joshi was described and highlighted her independent career spanning several decades. He referred to the headline as “third-rate,” “malicious,” and an example of “misogynistic” journalism, while pointing to Joshi’s accomplishments as an actor and producer.

He also highlighted her work in television and cinema, where she established herself as a recognised actor over the years. The filmm...

Cinépolis to distribute Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav’s Om Ka Hari in theaters

Following the success of Hanuman-Ansh, Cinepolis is backing the Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav starrer Om Ka Hari as its next major bet on strong, content-led Hindi cinema, in theatres through its distribution arm.

After working in Broken But Beautiful, Bambai Meri Jaan, Kajol-starrer Maa (2025), etc., Jitin Gulati will next be seen in two pan-India projects – Mahakali, co-starring Akshaye Khanna, and Prabhas-starrer Fauzi. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the talented actor spoke about his experience of working on Mahakali. The teaser of Mahakali has received unanimously positive feedback. Your thoughts? It’s very reassuring to see that something that you’ve been working on for so long has been appreciated. But it also comes with its own set of responsibilities. Now, I think the expectations are sky-high. The responsibility is also more because, firstly, we are talking about a Goddess. Secondly, people are also very kicked about the way it has been presented. Hence, there’s a lot of joy right now along with a lot of responsibility. How did you bag the film?
