Animal is one of the most discussed Indian movies in recent years. The film was directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and displayed his signature tone of action. The movie featured an ensemble cast, including Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna, who all gave generational performances. Also in the cast was Tripti Dimri, who surprised everyone with her performance.

However, before Dimri was cast for the role of Zoya, the makers were reportedly considering a different face. Amid the speculation, reports emerged that Sara Ali Khan was considered for the female lead but was allegedly rejected by the filmmaker.

Sara Ali Khan Reportedly Never Auditioned for Animal

As per an old report by Filmfare, Sara Ali Khan auditioned for the second lead role in Animal. By then, Parineeti Chopra had already been cast as the movie’s main female lead.

Talking about the box office performance of the film, the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer opened at 34.10 crores, which was extremely impressive.

Kabir Khan Once Confessed About His Plans For Tiger Franchise (Photo Credit – Instagram)

If there is one man who carved out the best out of Salman Khan in recent times, then it definitely was Kabir Khan. Be it bringing out the innocence of Pawan Chaturvedi in Bajrangi Bhaijaan or making him the suave and sharp Raw officer in Ek Tha Tiger. Tiger franchise is one of the brightest stars in Salman Khan’s career.

However, the third installment, Tiger 3, did not live up to the expectations as planned. Interestingly, the three films of the Tiger franchise have been directed by three different directors since the Og director did not want to continue.

Ek Tha Tiger was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and Tiger 3 was directed by Maneesh Sharma. There have been reports that Kabir did not want to direct the sequel. But the filmmaker once opened up about...

Arjun Kapoor Confessed Three Reasons To Not Wanting To Work With Parineeti Chopra! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

If there is one proverb that we all have literally experienced in our lives is ‘Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover!’ Clearly, even Arjun Kapoor also mistakenly judged the book by its cover right during his debut film Ishaqzaade, which starred Parineeti Chopra in the lead. However, while Arjun was cast much before, the team was still searching for Zoya!

Parineeti’s casting happened much later and during a recent interviews, Arjun confessed how he was not very keen on the actress of the film for not one, not two but three major reasons!

While it was Arjun’s first film and Parineeti had already made her debut in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, Arjun still had very strong reasons not to have Parineeti on board for the film. Scroll down to read...

Dhanush, the celebrated South Indian actor, has gifted fans some of the most unforgettable characters on screen. With his versatile acting style and raw intensity, he brings to life characters who are deeply flawed yet endlessly relatable. Here, we dive into five of Dhanush’s most iconic roles, exploring the life lessons they leave behind for us.

1.Resilience is Key – Raanjhanaa’s Kundan

Dhanush’s portrayal of Kundan in Raanjhanaa is unforgettable. A young man with relentless love for Zoya, Kundan embodies the lesson of resilience in pursuit of one’s dreams. Even though his love remains unrequited, Kundan’s dedication and commitment are unwavering. Through his journey, he teaches us that while love may not always come with a happy ending, persistence and courage can still shape one’s character. Resilience, despite the odds, is a powerful trait that keeps us moving forward, even if the world seems against us.

While the role of Bucky Barnes in the MCU is not Sebastian Stan’s only credit, it has significantly boosted his career, making him a highly popular and sought-after actor. Although Bucky is a secondary character in the MCU, strong character development and memorable moments have contributed to his popularity.

Since then, Stan has taken on several projects, including the upcoming films The Apprentice, in which he portrays Donald Trump, and Thunderbolts*, where he will reprise his role as Bucky Barnes. This is an exciting time for Stan, and fans are eager to see what’s next.

In a recent interview with Josh Horowitz, Stan discussed various aspects of his career, including his upcoming projects and personal aspirations. During the conversation, he revealed his interest in portraying a fascinating DC Comics character in the future.

We know that Sebastian Stan is an alumnus of the MCU, and actors from this...

And while that is definitely not his only role, the role of Bucky Barnes in the MCU definitely helped Sebastian Stan in his career, making him a very popular and in-demand actor. Sure, Bucky is a secondary character in the MCU, but a good character development and some memorable moments helped him become popular.

Of course, since then, Stan has worked on several projects, including the upcoming movies The Apprentice, where he is playing Donald Trump, and Thunderbolts*, where he will once again appear as Bucky Barnes. This is definitely an exciting period in Stan’s career and we hope that there is more to come.

In light of that, Stan sat down for an interview with Josh Horowitz, in which he discussed numerous aspects of his career, including his upcoming projects, as well as his wishes and desires. In light of that, we found out that he would like...

JioCinema’s latest “thriller” series, Honeymoon Photographer, tries too hard to be a proper thriller, but it ends up being pretty mediocre. I think, if the story had been wrapped up in a movie format, it might have kept its edge, but as a series, Honeymoon Photographer gets repetitive and loses the tension that’s needed for something to really feel like a thriller. The plot is centered around a newlywed couple, Adhir Irani and his wife Zoya, who go on their honeymoon to the Maldives, where they bring along a photographer, Ambika, to capture their happy memories. But we find out that Adhir and Ambika had an affair in the past, and after one drunken night there, Adhir ends up dead, found facedown on the beach the next morning, and the rest of the show revolves around figuring out who killed him. That’s what we are about to find out from this explainer.

Utilizing plot devices like temporal shenanigans to serve up a critique of life, self-acceptance, and mortality isn’t too unique concept in sci-fi narratives anymore. In that context, Omni Loop is a simple story of a dying physicist trying her desperate best to grapple with her fate. What elevates the movie compared to other stories with a similar premise is the way it uses the concept as a means of providing clarity and understanding, building up relationship dynamics, and charting the transformation in the psyche of the characters. Additionally, Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri do a remarkable job as the mentor-protégé duo trying to de-mystify the concept of time travel in order to get another shot at their lives, and it feels good to have female leads for a change in a movie like this. as it offers a new perspective. The only major drawback is probably the fact that...

The time loop film is an exciting subgenre of sci-fi that’s grown even more popular after Covid brought us all into our own Groundhog Day. Writer/director Bernardo Brito offers the latest interpretation of the genre in Omni Loop, a more sentimental twist on the genre about an aging woman living the same week over and over in an attempt to prevent her soon-coming death. Led by an excellent Mary-Louise Parker and a solid Ayo Edebiri, this certainly isn’t the most entertaining film of its subgenre, but it offers plenty to chew on.

Omni Loop Review Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri in Omni Loop, a Magnolia Pictures release. Photo courtesy of Magnolia Pictures.

Zoya Lowe (Parker) is dying. We open in the hospital, where she sits awaiting a wild prognosis: her heart has a small black hole growing in it. Realistic? Probably not. After a half hour of melodrama,...

The movies do not deserve Mary Louise Parker. Her work in the New York theater scene since the 1990s has been rightfully praised from Broadway to the Battery, and the serialized nature of television has allowed her to flex character-developing muscles and play the emotional scales several times over; say what you will about those later seasons of Weeds, the Showtime dramedy that cast Parker as a pot-selling suburbanite, but she always managed to throw in a look, an offbeat line reading or a bit of business that provided a nice second-hand high.

Measuring end-of-life anxiety with an open heart if not the most disciplined head, science-fiction-tinged drama Omni Loop serves up a couple nice moments for its lead performers, but otherwise relies on a viewer’s offscreen feelings about mortality to supply its punch. The result, pleasant enough but frustratingly bland, exists in a soupy,...

Legendary filmmaker Mira Nair has lauded Girls Will Be Girls, the debut production of actors Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, as it makes waves with its release in the United States. In a recent social media post, Nair praised the film’s storytelling and performances, encouraging her fans in the US to experience the cinematic brilliance for themselves.

In her post, Nair described the film as “rare,” admiring Suchita Talati’s writing and direction. She also urged her followers to watch Girls Will Be Girls, noting its sold-out screenings and growing buzz. “Girls Will Be Girls is a rare gem. It captivated me with its raw honesty and nuanced storytelling. This is a film that deserves to be seen, and I strongly urge everyone in the US to catch it,” said Nair.

Joining in the praise, ace filmmaker Zoya Akhtar also took to social media to express her admiration for the film.

When doctors tell Zoya Lowe (Mary-Louise Parker), the quantum physicist at the center of Omni Loop, that she has a black hole growing inside her chest and little time left to live, she seems oddly unfazed. A montage speeds us through the next few days of her life as she’s taken home from the hospital, then to the beach by her family, who surprise her with a candle-covered cake two weeks ahead of her actual birthday, which she likely won’t live to see.

Throughout each of those scenes, Zoya sits in the center of the frame, staring forward with a placid look on her face. It would be fair to assume that hers is a state of shock—the look of a woman who’s unable to process the finality, maybe even the absurdity, of her diagnosis. In truth, though, Zoya seems so unmoved because she’s seen all of this before.

Summer’s over. Looks like it’s time to get back to work. And by work, we mean some serious movie watching. Luckily September doesn’t disappoint. We have everything from the highly-anticipated Megaopolis, the self-funded opus from Francis Ford Coppola, to the star-studded Netflix affair His Three Daughters, to the return of the king of tight, gnarly thrillers, Jeremy Saulnier, with his new one, Rebel Ridge. Oh, and a doc about psychics from a Fast-Track alum, with Lana Wilson’s Look Into My Eyes. Looks like the fall is shaping up to be quite the movie season. Now get out there and start watching!

Alia Bhatt continues to captivate fans with her effortless style and charm. Recently, she was spotted in the city, turning heads in a simple yet chic casual outfit. Dressed in a brown loose tee paired with black shorts, Alia kept her look minimal, opting for a bun hairstyle and no makeup. Her laid-back appearance, coupled with her warm gesture of posing for the paparazzi, quickly went viral on social media, once again proving why she is one of Bollywood’s most beloved stars.

Alia’s casual outing comes just before she is set to begin shooting for her upcoming film Alpha in Kashmir. Reports indicate that she will be joined by Sharvari Wagh for the schedule starting on August 24.

Prime Video is set to premiere “Angry Young Men,” a three-part documentary series that captures the personal and professional journey of legendary screenwriting duo Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, known collectively as Salim-Javed.

Produced by Salman Khan Films, Excel Media & Entertainment and Tiger Baby, the docu-series is executive produced by Salma Khan, Salman Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti. It delves into how Salim-Javed revolutionized Indian cinema in the 1970s by reinventing the Bollywood formula, introducing ‘angry young man’ heroes in a romance-dominated industry, and popularizing the action-drama genre. The original ‘angry young man’ was Amitabh Bachchan who, after a string of middling films, began his journey to superstardom with Prakash Mehra’s “Zanjeer” (1973), written by Salim-Javed.

When producer Zoya Akhtar, daughter of Javed Akhtar, set out to chronicle their story, she knew it was a tale long overdue for telling. “I grew up with them and watching these films,...

"Let's solve time travel." Okay, sure, let's do it! Magnolia Pictures has revealed the official trailer for a sci-fi comedy called Omni Loop, the latest feature film by Brazilian writer / director Bernardo Britto, who most recently was writing episodes of "Los Espookys". This initially premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, and it's set to arrive to watch (on VOD) in September this fall. A 55-year-old woman from Miami, Florida decides to solve time travel in order to go back and be the person she always intended to be. One day she meets Paula, a young woman studying time at a lab in the local university, and together they decide to try and solve time travel so Zoya can actually go back— back into her past, back to a time before she settled, back to when her whole future was still wide open in front of her. With...

If you could choose to be in a Groundhog Day scenario with any two actors, who would you choose? You could certainly do a lot worse than Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri, the stars of the new time travel dramedy Omni Loop. To lean into millennial parlance, this is a...

Farah Khan recently shared an emotional tribute to her late mother, Menaka Irani, who passed away in Mumbai on July 26. In her heartfelt Instagram post on August 5, Farah reflected on her mother’s wit, strength, and generosity. Accompanied by a series of nostalgic photos, including a childhood birthday picture, a stunning black-and-white portrait of Menaka, and memories from Farah’s 2004 wedding, the post offered a glimpse into Menaka’s life and character.

Farah described her mother as a unique person who shunned the limelight and remained resilient despite facing many challenges early in life. Menaka’s lack of bitterness and her kindness left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Farah credited her mother for her and her brother Sajid Khan’s sense of humor, admitting that Menaka was far funnier and wittier than both of them combined.

Following Menaka’s death, numerous celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan,...

Canceling "Shadow and Bone" left many dedicated fans disappointed, especially as the show had strong potential for future storylines. The cast, like Lewis Tan, shared the fans' disappointment at the cancellation, hinting at the possibility of a revival in the future. The cancelation of the "Six of Crows" spinoff was particularly heartbreaking, as it was a beloved story that deserved on-screen adaptation.

When Netflix canceled Shadow and Bone, I was beyond disappointed, yet this recent update from San Diego Comic-Con only made my heart ache more. In 2021, Netflix took on a television adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse. These fantasy book series followed multiple characters, and portrayed the trials and tribulations of magical individuals called Grisha. For two seasons, the show laid out the storylines of the Shadow and Bone trilogy and part of the Six of Crows duology. Hopes were high for Shadow and Bone season 3, and the Six of Crows spinoff.

When Zoya Akhtar Exposed Bollywood Actresses! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Content in Bollywood has majorly evolved, and today, we have female actresses leading big-budget films. Alia Bhatt is all set to shoulder Yrf’s first female spy film, and Deepika Padukone is set to debut as Lady Singham in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. But Gully Boy director Zoya Akhtar once called out B’Town divas for not wanting to carry the burden of success. Scroll below for more details!

Gender disparity has been one of the most discussed subjects in Bollywood. But directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali are rewriting history with films like Gangubai Kathiawadi, starring Alia Bhatt, and web shows like Heeramandi led by Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari and other actresses.

During her appearance on Film Companion, Zoya Akhtar addressed the subject of women leading big projects and shared, “A lot of the time, even the actresses don’t want to do it.

Warning: Spoilers for the Six of Crows and King of Scars duologies.

Nina's storyline in King of Scars left much to be desired, especially regarding the handling of Matthias' death. The rushed romance between Nina and Hanne felt forced and lacked the development seen in Nina's previous relationships. Nina's character arc in King of Scars would have been better suited for a third Six of Crows book to provide a more cohesive story.

When I found out Nina Zenik would have her own point of view in Leigh Bardugo's King of Scars series, I was excited, but the reality of her storyline was incredibly disappointing. After writing the Shadow and Bone book series and the Six of Crows duology, beloved young adult author Leigh Bardugo released another pair of books set in the Grishaverse: King of Scars and Rule of Wolves. These books followed Nikolai Lantsov as he quite...

Heeramandi: Sanjay Leela Bhansali & Indresh Malik ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited period drama series ‘Heeramandi’ was released on Netflix on May 1. The series received mixed response from critics and audience alike. It features a fantastic star cast: Manisha Koirala, Fardeen Khan, Shekhar Suman, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Taha Shah Badussha, Adhyayan Suman and Sharmin Segal. Apart from the leads, one actor who impressed the netizens with his performance is Indresh Malik.

In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, Indresh Malik plays Ustaad. Ustaad is like an informer, who plays from both sides (Manisha Koirala‘s Mallikajaan and Sonakshi Sinha’s Fareedan). On social media, netizens are in awe of Indresh’s performance. One person posted on ‘X’, “One more character who stands out in #Heeramandi is Indresh Malik as Ustaad Jii, he was outstanding.”

Another person posted, “#Heeramandi Ustaad Ji #IndreshMalik #Heeramandi.

There are the rich and the poor, and a cycle of abuse never stops. Farrey is the story of a state topper wasting her talent to help rich brats out of her desperate need for money. When one innocent lie turns into a habit, Niyati finds herself in an ugly spot. The dilemma between what’s right and what’s beneficial often ends up with people not choosing to do the right thing. The word ‘Farrey’ is a Hindi slang for little notes kids use to cheat in exams. This movie dives deep into how helping people cheat can be a career death, even for the most elite students.

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is riding high on the success of his last released movie ‘Animal’, was spotted smoothly driving his new car Bentley Continental Gt V8, which is reportedly worth Rs 8 crore.

The video which is doing rounds on the internet, shows Ranbir wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and driving his new black Bentley car near his residence in Bandra.

Fans took to the comment section and dropped fire emojis.

Here’s How Hrithik Roshan Almost Killed Farhan Akhtar & Abhay Deol While Filming Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. (Photo Credit – IMDb)

Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, and Farhan Akhtar gave the audience one of the best feel-good movies of all time with Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. It was directed by Farhan’s sister, Zoya Akhtar. It made us laugh, feel nostalgic, and even cry at times. Just like its memorable moments on screen, the cast had some unforgettable experiences off-screen, like when Hrithik almost killed Abhay and Farhan. Scroll below for more.

The film, abbreviated as Znmd, was released in 2011, and it featured Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin in pivotal roles besides the boys. Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani produced it under the Excel Entertainment banner. The movie was both critically and commercially successful. Also, people fell in love with Hrithik and Katrina’s beautiful chemistry, and they continued it in their following film,...

Director Reema Kagti, who is known for ‘Dahaad’, ‘Made in Heaven’ and ‘Gold’, shared that real people cannot be written, they can only be found and given an outlet to tell their stories.

Reema along with her frequent collaborator Zoya Akhtar attended Prime Video’s slate announcement event, ‘Prime Video Presents’ on Tuesday.

The two are bringing the documentary series ‘In Transit’, which brings stories of the LGBTQ+ community to the fore.

Reema told the media at the event: “You can’t write real people, you have to find them. ‘In Transit’ has been a journey of exploring such real people and sharing their stories.”

Zoya said: “We share our space with so many people. We have explored such characters in fiction. With ‘In Transit’ we wanted to bring their real stories to the forefront, stories about their courage, their resilience and their joy.”

‘In Transit’ will soon drop on Prime Video.

History repeats itself in this ingenious but surprisingly heartfelt sci-fi, which takes the premise of Groundhog Day and fashions from it a poignant statement about life and mortality. Refreshingly for the genre, it focuses on a middle-aged woman — a scientist-slash-physicist, even — whose 55th birthday and final breath will occur within the same week. But though there is an element of resistance to the latter, Omni Loop is unusual in that it isn’t simply about breaking the cycle; Bernardo Britto’s film is about facing the inevitable, gently phasing out the genre elements to reach an understated but emotional climax.

Zoya Lowe, when we first meet her, is a little girl who, a voiceover tells us, is predicted “to do incredible things one day” and “change the world”. The next time we see her, Zoya is now played by Mary-Louise Parker and things are not so positive: X-rays show a...

Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar & Abhay Deol In A Still From Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Photo Credit – IMDb)

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a bible to many people who swear by their friendships. The film, helmed by Zoya Akhtar, offered a story about three friends, played by Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol, who decide to take a long pending promised trip together.

Znmd was one of the most loved films of its time. However, what if we tell you that the ending you saw was not the actual ending of the film? However, the original ending of the film left many viewers confused.

These viewers were those who saw the film for a trial. Initially, the film ends the moment Bull Race is completed, and you see Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol winning the deadly race and finally, a poem in Farhan Akhtar’s voice plays – “Dilon...

“Omni Loop” begins at the midway point of “Groundhog Day.” Within the first five minutes, we learn that Zoya Lowe (Mary-Louise Parker) is stuck in a time loop that sees her reliving the last week of her life. She wakes up, receives a terminal diagnosis, spends some doctor-recommended quality time with her family, gets a nosebleed, takes a pill, and wakes up in the hospital again. Again and again, until she can predict exactly when a bird is going to poop on the bench where she sits with a chatty resident of her mom’s retirement home. It’s a priceless opportunity to delay the inevitable, and honestly? She’s over it.

There’s one detail of Zoya’s dilemma not mentioned above that really illuminates what type of move this is: Zoya isn’t dying of a brain tumor or an aggressive cancer, but a black hole in her chest.

One of the distinguishing features that has propelled Mary-Louise Parker’s rise through the ranks of stage actors has been a searching quality she brings to plays such as “Proof” and “How I Learned to Drive,” as if there are other worlds beyond where she is immediately stationed and places her characters can’t reach no matter how much they extend themselves. Although Parker’s been great in films and TV, too, she’s hasn’t had the same opportunity onscreen to demonstrate her curiosity about the unknown. That becomes the main attraction of “Omni Loop,” writer-director Bernardo Britto’s melancholy time-travel drama, which stirs the kind of mixed emotions that Parker’s Zoya feels, having a week left to live and the ability to stave off the inevitable with a bottle full of blue pills that take her back five days at a time.

With Parker’s tactile imagination,...

Bollywood megastar Salman Khan took to Twitter to hype up the much-anticipated World TV Premiere of ”Tiger 3.” His tweet, “Tiger and Zoya are ready for a new mission… are you ready?” created a buzz among fans. Directed by Maneesh Sharma and starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi, ”Tiger 3” is set to air exclusively on Star Gold on Saturday, 16th March at 8 pm & Sunday, 17th March at 12 pm.

”Tiger 3” is a 2023 action-packed thriller directed by Maneesh Sharma, with a screenplay by Shridhar Raghavan & Anckur Chaudhry. Produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, the movie marks the third installment in the Tiger franchise, following the success of ”Tiger Zinda Hai” (2017). It’s also the fifth installment in the Yrf Spy Universe, continuing the storyline from ”War” (2019) and ”Pathaan” (2023).

Unlike the Miami transit service that gives the film its title and gets from first to final stop in just 16 minutes, Omni Loop takes time to wade through its tangled thicket of set-up and draw you in. But Bernardo Britto’s near-future sci-fi — about death, time travel and the cherished gifts in life we take for granted while pursuing that elusive something more — sneaks up on you. The same goes for the expertly synced performances of Mary-Louise Parker, bringing her characteristic flinty authenticity to a role that could easily have drowned in quirk, and Ayo Edebiri, demonstrating once again that she’s in the top tier of emerging American actors.

In a brief prologue, a 12-year-old girl (Riley Elise Fincher-Foster) stumbles upon a bottle of pills in the greenest of fields. “You’re gonna do incredible things one day,” a voice in her head tells her. “You’re gonna change the world.

Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan and actress Triptii Dimri, who was last seen in the blockbuster film ‘Animal’ were spotted at the office of a production house in Mumbai on Sunday.
