Rasika Dugal has had a fulfilling acting journey, featuring in cult favorites like Mirzapur and the OTT hit Lootcase. Since most of her projects have been released on streaming platforms, does she ever worry about being labeled as just an “OTT actor”? Rasika, who is preparing for Delhi Crime Season 3, said, “People have their own perceptions and they are entitled to it in a way. Sometimes, the perception can work in your favour, sometimes it won’t. There is nothing you can do about it.” She added that actors are often so immersed in their work that they rarely have time to follow public perceptions. “There are varying perceptions. I don’t really keep a track of it. Sometimes as actors you don’t even get to know what worked in your favour, and what didn’t. There are anyway so many things beyond your control. I don’t have a problem with these tags,” she remarks. For Rasika, it’s her work that speaks volumes. “I don’t feel insecure, therefore, about it at all. In fact, sometimes if som...

The very graceful Jyotika, who has done a slew of well-received Tamil and Hindi films, is very kicked about her premier foray into the OTT format with Netflix’s Dabba Cartel, especially for the opportunity it gave her to share screen space with the mighty Shabana Azmi. “Everything about Dabba Cartel was extremely special. Firstly, the banner, Excel Entertainment, they are known for creating some of the best web series. The content is always top priority. Varuna is a character I think I haven't played before. It's very very close to me and I think a common woman will resonate with it. So, I just fell in love with Varuna's character as I heard it.” She added, “Then there was one more major incentive.

The two actors, who have shared a limited yet electrifying number of scenes over the past decade, teased a fresh dynamic between their characters—one that is as intense as ever but also uniquely different this time around. D’Onofrio, known for his chilling portrayal of Kingpin, described the internal struggles both Murdock and Fisk face, likening their journeys to that of vampires trying to exist in daylight. “Although we’re trying to live in the daylight, the two of us.

Amid many actors who have slammed the entourage culture and the inflated fees of actors, which further leads to extreme financial pressure on producers and doesn’t justify the high cost of filmmaking, is John Abraham. The actor, who is also a producer, uninhibitedly called out this culture and accused this culture of bleeding out the system and sucking them dry, pointing out the increasing budget of films. John Abraham spoke to The Hollywood reporter, where he opened up about ‘mental’ costs involved in the fees of male leads who demand as much as Rs. 100 crores in remuneration with Rs. 2 lakh being paid to the stylists and entourage almost per day. “It’s already hurting Hindi cinema. At this point of time, we shouldn’t be paying people to act in films because we don’t justify those huge budgets. The huge fees that we get paid, and we can’t load a film with entourage costs as well. It’s ridiculous. Don’t know if actors are thinking this way or is it their agent making them think differ...

A portfolio of 20 films in a career that is a decade old for Vicky Kaushal. And a record of six real characters played in these films. That’s a neat 30 percent—surely an awesome penchant for showing real on reel and growing as an actor? A source close to the actor revealed, “He has also green-lit couple of projects now that also fall in this category.” Clearly, not only is Vicky looking at enacting such roles, but also seems to be the choice for the industry to essay them.

I feel blessed that my son is not only getting great roles but also is in a position to choose!” When I asked him which is his favourite among these six ‘real’ roles, he said, “Look, I am both a father as well as his admirer!

Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms is not just another industry player. He’s the game-changer who pioneered the dubbed film market, helping several South Indian filmmakers strike gold in the Hindi-speaking belt. But in 2021, he decided to level up.

Ram Gopal Varma’s Rann completed 15 years on January 29. The film, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Kiccha Sudeep, Mohnish Bahl, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, among others, received favourable reviews but it couldn’t do much at the box office.
