Ajay Devgn poses with son Yug at screening of his film 'Shaitaan'

7 Mar 2024

Actor R Madhavan, who plays a pivotal role in the film, attended the screening in an all-black look.He happily posed for the shutterbugs.Ajay marked the screening with his son Yug.The father-son duo was all smiles as they posed for the paps stationed outside the venue.Actors Jaideep Ahlawat and Kartik Aaryan also attended the screening of 'Shaitaan'.Helmed by Vikas Bahl, 'Shaitaan' is a supernatural thriller. Jyotika is also a part of the film.Sharing how he decided to helm the film, Vikas said, "I don't really watch supernatural thrillers or horror movies, so my knowledge of that genre as a viewer is very little. But when I heard the story of Shaitaan, I totally loved it, and I felt that this story really had to be told. At the same time, it was so challenging for me to tell a story in a genre that I am a novice in. So, I thought, let me take up this challenge and see where it goes. And I must say, it's been a great experience working on Shaitaan and creating it."He conducted thorough research before diving into the shoot of the film."Like I said, I don't really watch this genre, and I never thought I would be venturing into it. So, actually, like a school kid, we used to sit and watch videos, read, and watch other films. The whole team would sit in a room, and we would actually try to study. It was almost like going back to school, trying to understand how these films are made, how the camera works, how the action works, how scenes work, and how emotions work. So, I told my team, 'Let's all sit, learn, and be sure that we know how to pull this off.' Going back to school and feeling nervous before we hit the floor was a really good experience, and I wish I could do it again and again, in new genres, in new films, and always be challenged to see how I can pull them off," Vikas opened up.

"If you are doing such a film, you have to trust your makers": Adah Sharma on 'Bastar: The Naxal Story'

6 Mar 2024

Helmed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film is set to hit the theatres on March 15.Speaking to ANI, Adah Sharma said "if you are doing such a film, you have to trust your makers"."There was 110 per cent trust (in the story). I don't think you should do such films if you become doubtful of the makers somewhere in the middle because it then shows in your performance. I read a lot of material that Dada (director Sudipto Sen) had shared with me. I even went there (Bastar). Dada was kind enough...they decided to let the actor live it before making such a film. I met IPS officers, and IG there. I stayed with the CRPF jawans in their camps. I saw how they train. I have a lot of gratitude in me. Girls can move around freely because jawans are protecting us. I love my country and I feel very close to the people protecting it."Makers on Tuesday unveiled the trailer of the movie.In the trailer, Adah can be seen as IPS Officer Neerja Madhvan, who is determined to make India naxal-free. There are scenes of Naxalites attacking CRPF jawans, children being burnt and political figures being assassinated, as well as the hanging of innocent people.Adah Sharma is currently receiving appreciation for her performance in the web show 'Sunflower' second season.

There are scenes of Naxalites attacking CRPF jawans, children being burnt and political figures being assassinated, as well as the hanging of innocent people.Speaking about the movie, Sudipto Sen told ANI that cinema has sporadically played a role in transforming society but it has never become a movement."Historically the cinema should have played its role but I feel that it has taken a step back from the actual role that it should have played, common people were taught a wrong definition of entertainment. Cinema has played the role of transforming society. In our country, it has happened sporadically but it never became a movement. When we go to watch cinema, we watch dance, hear songs and come back. But we never explored it values of creating awareness. This was the experimentation of Vipul (Vipul Amrutlal Shah) and me to make a film on the reality of the country. 'Kerala Story' and 'Bastar' are results of that."The movie is helmed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.Shah and Sudipto's first collaboration 'The Kerala Story' depicts how thousands of young women were allegedly brainwashed into joining the Islamic State (IS) and heading off to countries like Syria and Afghanistan.'Bastar: The Naxal Story' is set to hit the theatres on March 15.

We just make films with complete truth and honesty. When Dada (director Sudipto Sen) showed me the complete research on Bastar I saw the data on the violence there. Like that time there was celebration in JNU. I saw a lot of other things in that research. When you see all that and on the other hand see that the intellectuals in cities are providing cover fire to the same and justifying it, you realise that 90% of the people don't know about something happening in one part of the country. I felt that it was essential to bring this issue before the people."Helmed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.Makers have exposed the truth about number of martiers and how Psudo intellectuals in our country are running a propaganda to divide the country funded by China. Now is the time to think deep.Shah and Sudipto's first collaboration 'The Kerala Story' emerged as one of the most successful films at the box office in 2023 so far.
