I used to just look at these vans and wonder what would be the daily cost for so many vans, and everyone’s staff. Is it really worth taking so many actors? I used to wonder that while Ahmed has a vision, he is bringing a new genre which was never …

Published by Parlour News

Apart from being an actor and a son, Tusshar Kapoor is also a single dad. As he enjoys the success of his recently released film Welcome to the Jungle, the actor reveals how he managed the chaos of a big budget multi-starrer, where he acted alongside Akshay Kumar, Disha Patani and others, with his daddy duties.

Raj & DK reveal dark alternate ending of Shor in the City; how they almost cast Ethan Hawke | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

It’s curious, and a little disheartening, how conversations about films set in Mumbai often drift past Shor in the City, that scrappy, restless indie from Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, made at a time when their instinct for marrying mischief with tenderness hadn’t yet found a wide audience. The film carries many lives within it. It moves like a web of intersecting stories, yes, but more than that, it listens closely to both the noise of the city but also to more private unrest each character bears within. There’s a kind of urgency to the way it unfolds, as though survival here is both a physical act and an emotional negotiation. And anchoring this chaos is an ensemble that feels deeply in tune with the world it inhabits: Tusshar Kapoor, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Preeti Desai, Girija Oak, Radhika Apte, Nikhil Dwivedi, Pitobash Tripathy, Sundeep Kishan, Zakir Hussain, and Amit Mistry, each of them meeting the film on its own terms.   Time has only been kinder to Shor in the City. Fifteen years on, Raj and DK, …

He is such a good human being.” She added, “I have seen what people say things about him, but he has always dealt with people with so much love.” ‘Love is a waste of time’ In the same conversation, when asked about her opinion on love, she …
