Rohit Saraf is looking back at his experience of working on The Revolutionaries as the series prepares for its OTT premiere on Amazon Prime Video.

Ahead of the series' premiere, Rohit took to social media to share a note about the journey of making The Revolutionaries. Reflecting on the effort that went into the project, he wrote, Everybody worked so incredibly hard on this. I worked so so hard on this. And now that we're almost at the point where it isn't ours anymore, I can't help but think of all that's gone into making it. Rohit also spoke about how the role challenged him beyond his work as an actor. He said, The Revolutionaries has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever worked on. It challenged me as an actor, of course, but somewhere along the way it also challenged the way I think, the way I work, what I believe I'm capable of and, honestly, even the way I look at myself. For something that demanded so much transformation on the outside, the bigger journey ended up being inward. The actor further acknowledged the people who supported him throughout the project, adding, I've had the most incredible people around me through all of this, and I know how much of what you'll see on screen belongs to them too. Rohit's note also included a mention of his fitness trainer, who worked with him during his physical transformation for the role. His changed appearance has also drawn attention online ahead of the show's release. Concluding his note, Saraf expressed his anticipation about audiences finally seeing the work that went into creating his character. He wrote, I'm SO excited to finally share everything that went into finding Sachin, becoming him, and figuring out my little place in this massive world we built so meticulously. There's so much I haven't shared yet and I can hardly wait. Also Read : Rohit Saraf takes on three distinct roles with The Revolutionaries, Mismatched Season 4 and Mahakali
Divyenndu reveals his Instagram and Twitter accounts were created by Shraddha Kapoor and Anupam Kher
Actor Divyenndu recently opened up about the reason behind changing the spelling of his name and his belief in the science of balancing energies. Appearing on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedis show Double Date, the actor candidly spoke about why he decided to make the change and how strongly he believes in being in sync with the energies around him. Talking about the name spelling change, Divyenndu shared, I got to know that there is a science to it. Its science only, which talks about balancing. Yeh aapka naam hai aur yeh balance hona chahiye. And I am a very firm believer. Yeh mera naam hai aur mujhe sync mein rehna hai energies ke saath. Toh koi cheez agar mujhe energies ke saath sync mein laayegi, toh main uski baat maanunga. Intrigued by his belief, Neha Dhupia then curiously asked Divyenndu whether he had also changed the spelling of his name across his social media and email IDs. The actors response led to a rather interesting revelation about how his social media accounts came into existence in the first place. Divyenndu revealed that his Instagram account was actually created by Shraddha Kapoor while they were working together on Batti Gul Meter Chalu. He said, Mera Insta banaya tha Shraddha Kapoor ne jab humne Batti Gul Meter Chalu kari thi. Pyaar Ka Punchnama aur Chashme Baddoor kar chuka tha main usse pehle, lekin main Instagram pe nahi tha. The actor also shared a fun anecdote about his Twitter account, revealing that veteran actor Anupam Kher was behind its creation. Aur mera Twitter Kher sahab, Anupam Kher ji ne banaya tha. Humne film banayi thi Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami. Toh unhone kuch karke mera account banaya tha, he said. From believing in the science behind balancing ones name and energies to sharing the amusing stories behind his social media presence, Divyenndus candid conversation on Double Date offered fans yet another glimpse into his charming and quirky personality.

The box office has shown signs of a healthy theatrical comeback this year, with films across genres finding audiences in cinemas. What stated with Border 2 was then taken ahead further by Dhurandhar The Revenge. This was followed by Bhooth Bangla, Welcome To The Jungle, Awarapan 2 and last weeks Mirzapur The Movie, which crossed the Rs 100 crore mark domestically within its first few days. It is a trend that Drishyam: The Conclusion director Abhishek Pathak says is a sign of better times ahead. As his Ajay Devgn-led thriller heads to theatres, Pathak believes the recent numbers are proof that the audience hasn't abandoned the big screen, it simply needs a reason to return. Numbers are going berserk right now, Pathak told Variety, pointing to the current theatrical momentum. For him, the equation is straightforward: give audiences a film that delivers an entertaining experience and they will make the trip to the cinema. If you give them a good, entertaining film, they come to watch it in theatres, he said. The performance of Mirzapur: The Movie, which has successfully transitioned a hugely popular streaming franchise to the big screen, has further underlined that audience familiarity can translate into theatrical footfalls. The film crossed Rs 100 crore mark in India during its opening stretch and has continued to hold strongly. Now, Pathak is looking to tap into a similar appetite for a big-screen franchise experience with Drishyam: The Conclusion. The film brings Ajay Devgn back as Vijay Salgaonkar, with Tabu, Shriya Saran and new additions Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj joining the thriller. With the film arriving on October 2, Pathak's message is clear: the audience is still coming to theatres. The challenge, as he sees it, is simply to give them something worth leaving home for.
