Mona Singh opens up on exploring horror-comedy with Munjya; says, I really wanted to experience this
Mona Singh has explored a range of roles and storytelling formats throughout her career, moving between emotionally driven dramas and characters that allow her to experiment with different aspects of her acting. With Munjya, the actor stepped into the horror-comedy genre for the first time, taking on a project that offered her an opportunity to move beyond her familiar territory. The film went on to perform well at the box office, bringing together horror, humour and storytelling as part of Maddock Films growing slate of genre-based films. Speaking about what attracted her to horror-comedy and how her perception of the genre changed over time, Mona said she was keen to take up a role that would allow her to explore something different from the intense dramas she had frequently been part of. She said, As an actor, I really wanted to experience this because it was a completely different genre for me. More often than not, I end up doing intense dramas, so I wanted to try comedy, and comedy with a dose of horror was something really exciting for me. After Stree, the way I looked at the horror-comedy genre changed a lot because I was used to watching horror content that would give me sleepless nights. I clearly remember being scared out of my wits after watching Manjulika in the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa. So, when I got a call from Maddock Films and they said it was a great script and a horror film, I said, I dont watch horror films myself. Then they said, Maam, its a horror-comedy. I said, Great! Ive watched Stree. Im coming! Monas account highlights how the success of films such as Stree influenced her outlook on horror-comedy, making the genre more approachable for someone who was otherwise reluctant to watch conventional horror films. Her decision to be part of Munjya also reflected her interest in taking on projects that challenge her to explore unfamiliar creative spaces. The actor has had a varied year, delivering six different performances across projects and getting the opportunity to portray characters with distinct shades. Her choices reflect an effort to move between genres and formats instead of being associated with a particular kind of role. Mona is currently shooting for filmmaker Vikas Bahls upcoming film. As she continues to take on varied projects, the actor is exploring different storytelling styles and expanding the range of characters she brings to the screen.

Zee TVs Jagadhatri, starring Sonakshi Batra and Farman Haider in the lead roles, is set to take another turn as new developments add to the mystery surrounding Jagadhatris fight for the truth. With Rudra presumed dead and Jagadhatri framed for his murder, she is determined to prove her innocence. Having assumed the identity of Lilly, she has joined forces with ACP Geeta to trace Rudra, believing that he is still alive. Meanwhile, suspicion surrounding members of the Deshmukh family continues to raise questions about the people behind the conspiracy. Adding to the ongoing investigation, actor Himanshu Soni, known for his roles in shows such as Neeli Chhatri Wale and Kyunki... Saas Maa Bahu Beti Hoti Hai, has joined Jagadhatri in a cameo role as ACP Shaurya Rathi. His character will assist Jagadhatri in investigating Rudras case and uncovering the truth about his disappearance. Shauryas entry is expected to bring a new dynamic to the storyline as the investigation progresses. Speaking about his entry into the show and his character, Himanshu Soni said, I will be playing a cameo role of ACP Shaurya Rathi in Zee TVs Jagadhatri. Shaurya will be seen supporting Jagadhatri as she investigates Rudras case and helps uncover the truth that Rudra is alive. His character will play an important role in helping Jagadhatri get to the bottom of the mystery, and I am excited to be a part of this intriguing track. The show has a very unique storyline and offers something different from what we usually see on television. When this role came to me, I had no reason to say no, especially because of the shows concept and my association with the producer and the channel. I am thoroughly enjoying playing Shaurya because this is a character I havent explored before, making it a new and exciting experience for me as an actor. I hope the audience enjoys this new addition to the show and showers Shaurya with lots of love. The storyline also takes a personal turn as Shivaay discovers that Lilly is actually Jagadhatri. Their reunion brings them back together, with Shivaay standing by Jagadhatri as she prepares to confront those working against her. However, with Rudras whereabouts still unknown and the conspiracy threatening to expose secrets within the Deshmukh family, Jagadhatris search for answers remains challenging.

The first poster of Meethe Mein Kya Hai, the directorial debut of Radhika Bansal, has been unveiled ahead of the films Netflix premiere on October 30. Starring Ritwik Bhowmik, Rohini Hattangadi, Ayesha Raza Mishra, Abhay Kaul, Tarana Raja, Gaurav K. Sharma, Vikram Bakshi and others, the film revolves around family relationships and togetherness during four days of Diwali celebrations. Presented by Utthan Capital and produced by Ajit Mohan, the film is positioned as a light-hearted family drama arriving on the streaming platform during the festive season. The newly released poster brings together an entire household in a single frame, offering a glimpse into the films setting and its portrayal of a family gathering during Diwali. Blending humour with everyday situations, Meethe Mein Kya Hai explores familiar family dynamics, the changing nature of relationships and the moments that bring people closer. With its mix of warmth and drama, the film aims to appeal to viewers across generations, making it a family-oriented watch for the festive period. For Radhika Bansal, the film marks an unconventional entry into filmmaking. She initially began writing as a way to maintain a journal but gradually found herself fictionalising personal experiences instead of documenting them directly. This process led to her first screenplay, a legal drama that attracted interest from major streaming platforms but did not receive a green light. The experience nevertheless encouraged her to continue developing stories. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Bansal subsequently wrote Meethe Mein Kya Hai in less than three months and decided to direct the project despite having no prior experience on a film set. She gave herself a year to complete the film and managed to bring it to fruition in eleven months. The film features a mix of established performers and newer faces. Rohini Hattangadi, known for her performances in Saaransh, Arth and Agneepath, and for her BAFTA-winning work on Gandhi, stars alongside Ritwik Bhowmik, who has appeared in Bandish Bandits, The Whistleblower and Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. Ayesha Raza Mishra, known for Veere Di Wedding, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, is also part of the cast. Tarana Raja, who appeared in Sitaare Zameen Par, joins Abhay Kaul, Dalai, Vikram Bakshi, Shivika Rishi, Gaurav K. Sharma, Ayuushman Ghai and Kanikka Kapur in the film. With its focus on family bonds, shared celebrations and everyday moments, Meethe Mein Kya Hai is set to join Netflixs festive entertainment lineup. The film will begin streaming on October 30, while its trailer is expected to be released soon.
Filmmaker Aanand L Rai has spoken about his approach to storytelling, explaining why he believes a films story should take priority over a directors ego. Recalling his conversation with Imtiaz Ali before making Raanjhanaa, Rai said he reached out to the filmmaker after hearing him speak about Rockstar, as he wondered whether the two films might explore a similar emotional world. Rai shared his thoughts while discussing his filmmaking philosophy in connection with his upcoming production, Nakhrewaalii, a romantic comedy starring Ansh Duggal and Pragati Srivastava. I love stories much more than the director within me. I feel that if a story needs to be told, it should be told, Rai said. Aanand L Rai recalls calling Imtiaz Ali before Raanjhanaa Rai recalled that while preparing to make Raanjhanaa, he heard Imtiaz Ali speak about Rockstar. This prompted him to consider whether the two films might be exploring similar themes or emotional territory. When I was about to make Raanjhanaa, I heard Imtiaz saying something about Rockstar. And I thought, perhaps these two souls are the same, he said. Rather than proceed with that uncertainty, Rai decided to speak directly to Ali. He wanted to understand the world Ali was exploring and explain the direction he intended to take with his own film. So I called up Imtiaz to understand and tell him which world I was going into. If we were in the same world and he was making it, I would prefer to explore his world, and I would make something else, Rai said. Be slave to the story, nobody else Rai also spoke about the values that guide his approach to filmmaking, identifying intent, honesty and the ability to work without ego as important principles. For me, what matters is intent, honesty and being egoless. Be slave to the story, nobody else, he said. Rai is backing Nakhrewaalii and Nayyi Navelli under Colour Yellow Productions, scheduled to be released on October 30 and October 16, respectively. Also Read:Aanand L Rai-backed Nakhrewaalii set to release on October 30, 2026
The trailer of Nakhrewaalii has been released, offering a mix of humour, romance and a quirky Womantic take on romantic comedies. With relationship chaos, witty exchanges and unconventional characters at its centre, the film explores love, expectations and the dynamics of modern relationships. The trailer delves into how men perceive love and the preferential treatment they believe women receive. It also highlights the double standards some men follow when it comes to the women they date and those they consider marrying. What begins as a clash of perspectives on love gradually develops into a romantic story, exploring the lengths one might go to win over the person they love. Along the way, the film uses humour to raise questions about gender biases and expectations within relationships. The trailer follows the unveiling of the films poster earlier this week, which drew attention for its quirky tagline, Kabhi Pyaar Mein Majnu Ko Bhi Laila Banna Padta Hai. Building on the curiosity generated by the poster, the trailer offers a glimpse into the films unusual premise and its playful take on romance. Starring newcomers Ansh Duggal and Pragati Srivastava, Nakhrewaalii is directed by Rahul Shanklya. The film is produced by Jio Studios and Colour Yellow, led by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma. Blending romance and humour, the film explores the complexities of relationships through its distinctive take on the familiar Majnu-Laila dynamic.

Watching your films, we would feel that this is what a love story should be like. Every girl dreams of something like that, a palat, palat moment! But in reality, one thing Aditya and I have in common is that we are both very reserved, completely non-dramatic people, she said. Yami then revisited her first meeting with Aditya on the sets of Uri, the 2019 military action film directed by him and featuring her in a pivotal role. Although the two did not interact much during filming, the promotional campaign gave her an opportunity to understand his personality better. Our first meeting was on the set of URI. We didnt speak much on the film set, but during promotions, you listen to everyones answers. That was when I felt that here was someone whose core values and family values were very similar to mine. That is something I really loved about Aditya. On set, I had already seen the kind of person he is, and that is very rare to find. He never got angry with anyone, respected everyone, and was very passionate and very centered, Yami shared. Madhuri responded warmly to the actresss description, saying, Just like you. Reflecting on the importance of finding a partner with shared values, Yami added, If you find that kind of partner, it is a very big thing. Im very lucky to have him as my husband. The candid exchange offered a glimpse into Yami and Adityas relationship, which began with their collaboration on Uri and eventually culminated in marriage in 2021. Their story, as described by the actress, is rooted less in grand romantic gestures and more in mutual respect, shared values and a quiet understanding. The special episode of Kon Honar Crorepati featuring Yami Gautam and Adinath Kothare airs Monday to Saturday at 9 PM on Sony Marathi and Sony LIV.

Sharvari is set to showcase another facet of her dancing abilities with Jhumka Patola, a song from Sooraj R. Barjatyas upcoming musical romantic family drama Yeh Prem Mol Liya. The actress, who has attracted attention for her dance performances, says working with the filmmaker gave her a different perspective on approaching a song, with its narrative significance taking precedence over choreography alone. Featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari in the lead roles, Yeh Prem Mol Liya marks the return of Rajshri Productions beloved character Prem to the big screen. With music composed by Himesh Reshammiya, the film is scheduled to release in cinemas on November 27, 2026. Ahead of its theatrical release, Sharvari has shared how filming Jhumka Patola allowed her to explore her passion for dance while understanding the storytelling traditions associated with Barjatyas cinema. Speaking about the experience, Sharvari said, I've always loved dancing, but with Sooraj sir, a song is so deeply woven into the narrative that you can't look at it as just a dance performance. While shooting 'Jhumka Patola', he would walk me through what the moment meant for my character and share stories from the songs he has made over the years, and I tried to carry that into every step and expression. Dance has its own language, and sometimes a song can say what a scene simply cannot. There's a reason certain songs stay with us for years; they become inseparable from the characters and moments we remember. 'Jhumka Patola' let me explore my love for dance in a way I hadn't before, and after the warmth the title track 'Yeh Prem Mol Liya' has received, I can't wait for audiences to experience it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Himesh Reshammiya (@realhimesh) The actresss comments underline the importance of music in Barjatyas filmmaking, where songs frequently contribute to character development and the emotional progression of a story. Rather than treating Jhumka Patola as an independent dance showcase, Sharvari approached the number through the circumstances and emotions of her character. Yeh Prem Mol Liya is written and directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya and produced under the banners of Rajshri Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films. The film also features Anupam Kher, Supriya Pathak, Seema Pahwa, Saumya Tandon, Shaad Randhawa and Swanand Kirkire in supporting roles. Set against the backdrop of a traditional joint family, the film explores the transition from friendship to romance while examining the tensions between contemporary dating perspectives and traditional family values. With Himesh Reshammiya composing the soundtrack, the film is scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026.

From Jaideep Ahlawat to Adarsh Gourav: 5 actors showcasing their range across films and streaming
Across films and streaming, several actors have built filmographies by moving between different genres, characters and storytelling formats. From crime dramas and thrillers to comedy, mythology and relationship-driven stories, these five performers have taken on roles that offer a varied look at their acting abilities. Jaideep Ahlawat Jaideep Ahlawat has moved across a range of characters during his career. In Raazi, he played intelligence officer Khalid Mir, while Paatal Lok saw him take on the role of police inspector Hathiram Chaudhary, a performance that brought him wider recognition. The two characters operate in very different worlds, allowing Ahlawat to explore contrasting approaches to authority, conflict and vulnerability. His subsequent work has continued to place him in varied dramatic settings across films and streaming projects. Suhail Nayyar Suhail Nayyar has worked across genres ranging from comedy and drama to horror and mythology. His filmography includes Udta Punjab, Hotel Mumbai, Sharmaji Namkeen and Murder Mubarak, followed by projects such as Jee Karda and the espionage thriller Saare Jahan Se Accha. His upcoming slate also includes Udta Teer, Single Papa Season 2 and Vir Das found-footage psychological horror film Baara Number. He is also part of Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana: Part Two, where he plays Sugriva. Manoj Bajpayee Manoj Bajpayees filmography includes characters that have ranged from gangsters and police officers to academics and ordinary men caught in difficult circumstances. His portrayal of Bhiku Mhatre in Satya remains among his best-known performances, while Aligarh saw him play Professor Ramchandra Siras in a restrained drama. With The Family Man, Bajpayee took on the role of intelligence officer Srikant Tiwari, balancing action and humour with the characters responsibilities at home. His performances in films such as Joram and Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai have further added to a body of work spanning very different characters and narratives. Adarsh Gourav Adarsh Gourav has moved between projects that differ in setting, tone and scale. He played Balram Halwai in The White Tiger, a role that earned him a BAFTA nomination for Leading Actor. In Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Gourav portrayed Neil, a fitness trainer navigating personal relationships and professional ambitions in Mumbai. He later appeared in Reema Kagtis Superboys of Malegaon as Nasir, a young man pursuing his filmmaking ambitions with a group of friends. Vijay Varma Vijay Varma has similarly moved between characters across genres. In Darlings, he played Hamza, while Dahaad saw him portray serial killer Anand Swarnakar. His role in Jaane Jaan was different again, with Varma playing a police investigator involved in an increasingly complicated case. These performances have allowed Varma to explore characters with contrasting shades, from unsettling antagonists to more restrained and observant personalities. His varied choices across films and streaming have become a notable part of his screen work.

The recent clash between Bigg Boss 20 contestants Nakul Dhull and Gullu, also known as Kushal Tanwar, has brought an old rivalry involving Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav back into discussion. Following Nakuls eviction from the reality show after his physical altercation with Gullu, Prince reacted to a video involving Nakul and fellow contestant Kanika Mann. Prince shared a clip in which Kanika is seen speaking to Nakul about the incident and encouraging him to apologise to Gullu. Reacting to Nakul appearing to realise his mistake, Prince wrote on his Instagram Story, The realisation of Nakul won hearts. Prince also praised Kanika for the way she addressed the situation. Sharing the video, he wrote, So good @officialkanikamann Kitne ache se handle kiya. In the video shared by Prince, Kanika is seen speaking to Nakul about the altercation and asking him to take responsibility for his actions. She tells him, To is baat ko tum hi khatam karoge. Bolo ja ke sorry use. Nakul, however, does not agree to apologise to Gullu. The interaction came shortly before his exit from the show following the physical confrontation. How the Bigg Boss 20 clash is being linked to the old rivalry The connection goes back to MTV Roadies XX, where Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav served as rival gang leaders. The two had several heated exchanges during the season, including a confrontation in the finale that involved personal remarks. Gullu was part of Elvishs gang during the season and eventually won Roadies XX under his leadership. Nakul Dhull, meanwhile, was associated with Princes side. Their respective associations have since been cited by fans as a reason for the tension between the contestants on Bigg Boss 20. After Roadies XX, the rivalry between the two groups also played out on social media. Nakul reportedly took digs at Elvish, while Gullu responded to him online, including referring to him as a story gunda. There were also reports and online claims about people associated with Prince and Nakul allegedly travelling to Elvishs Gurugram residence while Elvish and Gullu were in Goa celebrating their Roadies win. These claims have circulated as part of the larger history between the two groups, although the circumstances surrounding them have been a subject of speculation.
