11 Dec 2023

On Monday, the makers unveiled the trailer which takes the audience through Rajat's story of self-discovery as he moves from a village to a big city to pursue his dream of clearing the UPSC exams. It chronicles Rajat's journey of exploring his freedom and following his heart as he makes new friends, experiences first love, and wants to live his life to the fullest, while navigating pressure from his family and staying true to his goal. With the many challenges that life throws at him, Dehati Ladke will showcase how Rajat's modest life shapes up amidst the glare of city lights.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Kusha Kapila (@kushakapila)Excited about the series, Kusha said, "A journey from home to hostel always brings thousands of stories and memories. Dehati Ladke is one such special story that will surely resonate with the viewers. The first year of college life is full of many emotions, from curiosity and budding love to the stress of exams and a fun night with friends. Rajat's journey is also the same, experiencing new and undiscovered emotions while focusing on his goal. My character, Chaya, is a modern and liberal woman who brings out the undiscovered side of Rajat."Shine Pandey also expressed his excitement."Dehati Ladke is dedicated to everyone who comes from a small town in the pursuit to find their identity in a new city. Rajat is a simple and innocent boy who is sharp-minded but lacks the many experiences of a big-city life. His friends, who are his strength and also his confidantes, help him navigate through life in Lucknow and transform him into a confident young boy. I am hoping that the audience will enjoy the show and I am sure it will take them back to all the fun they had in their college days," he said.'Dehati Ladke' will be out on Amazon miniTV on December 15.

Thank you #ShahRukhKhan@iamsrk@thejohnabraham@deepikapadukone@YRF@PathaanTheFilm#YRF50 INOX Leisure Ltd. (@INOXMovies) January 26, 2023Over the last few days, Inox Shivpora in Kashmir witnessed two or three of their shows going housefull. A similar trend is found on Sunday (January 29) as well, as one of the noons shows is 'almost filled up' as per the online ticket booking platform Book My Show.People of Kashmir used to throng theatres and enjoy cinema as much as the other parts of the country, before the militancy surge that crippled Kashmir in 1989, forcing cinema hall owners to bring down the shutters.The cinemas were banned by a militant group called 'Allah Tigers' and the youth of the state were deprived of the main dose of entertainment nearly for three decades due to political turmoil.Thankfully, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inaugurated the Inox franchise in Srinagar on September 20 last year and described it as a 'historic' day. The Amir Khan starrer 'Laal Singh Chaddha', was shown as the first movie over there and a young group of people attended the show.Sinha said back then, that all districts of Jammu and Kashmir will have 100-seater Cinema halls where youth can entertain themselves.

Christian Bale reveals Kate Bushs music was axed from Thor: Love And Thunder

22 Jun 2022

Christian Bale, who plays Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder, revealed in a recent chat that Kate Bushs currently hot track almost featured in Taika Waititi-directed feature.Christian Bale reveals Kate Bushs music was axed from Thor: Love And ThunderChristian Bale told Total Film that director Taika Waititi planned a dance scene inspired by Kate Bushs music, but that was ultimately axed. Taika and I wanted to do a whole dance, which we didnt get to do, but we had all this sort of Kate Bush stuff that we worked at, the Oscar-winning actor said. I think he just realised he was never going to be allowed to put that in the final film. I would say that the most common thing I was staring at [while preparing for the role] was the Aphex Twin video of Come to Daddy. But I dont even know if that will be in the final film.Kate Bushs popularity skyrocketed ever since Stranger Things 4 prominently featured her old track Running Up That Hill from her Hounds of Love album which recently hit No. 1 on the U.K. music charts and currently sits at No. 4 slot on the Billboard Hot 100. Bush wrote in a recent blog post that shes overwhelmed by the songs resurgence.On her personal blog, Bush thanked Stranger Things show runners Matt and Ross Duffer for using the song and giving it new life among Gen Z. I salute the Duffer Brothers for their courage taking this new series into a much more adult and darker place. I want to thank them so much for bringing the song into so many peoples lives, the singer said. By featuring Running Up That Hill in such a positive light as a talisman for Max (one of the main female characters played by actress Sadie Sink) the song has been brought into the emotional arena of her story. Fear, conflict and the power of love are all around her and her friends.

Richa Chadha starrer Shakeela, based on the spunky South superstar, set for Christmas 2020 release in theatres

30 Nov 2020

The film that chronicles the life of soft-core sensation, Shakeela, is all set for a big-screen multi-lingual release on Christmas. This announcement put to rest months of speculation surrounding the release of the film. The first poster of Shakeela starring Richa Chadha met with a lot of excitement.The latest poster of the film that launches today features Richa in a glamorous avatar. Draped in a saree and with a gun in her hand, she pays the perfect ode to the South siren. In the background, there are allusions to her epithet of a box office queen, along with obscene words related to her body, religious affiliation, and skin colour. The poster is a testament to the fact that Richa conveys Shakeela's attitude and style with a rare spunk and vivacity. It also communicates that it is no dirty picture and explores Shakeelas world beyond her erotic image and stardom.Inspired by a shocking true story about the life of superstar Shakeela, the film traces her journey - filled with hurdles and discrimination from playing side characters to becoming the face of B-grade films and eventually reaching the pinnacle of glory. Soon, she began threatening the stardom of the biggest superstars of that era in the South film industry.Born in a conservative Muslim family, Shakeela began her career at the age of 16. Having worked in about 250 films, she emerged as an adult star who ruled the South film industries in the late 1990s and early 2000s.Talking about the film, director Indrajit Lankesh says, Shakeela is my passion project. I have known her since 2003 when I worked with her. Her rags-to-riches story caught my attention. I did some extensive personal interviews with her and came to know so much about the person that she is behind that image of a star. And I knew that it is only Richa who can nail the part. This film will help youngsters who aspire to be part of the film industry understand that there is more to the overlying glitz and glamour.Shakeela also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Malayalam actor, Rajeev Pillai. The film is presented and produced by Sammys Magic Cinema Motion Picture Production and distributed by UFO. It is slated for a Christmas release.
