As Tumbbad completes eight years of its theatrical release, actor-producer Sohum Shah has reflected on the making of the cult horror film, revealing the immense dedication, emotional investment, and physical transformation that went into bringing Vinayak Rao to life. Released in 2018, Tumbbad has, over the years, carved a distinct place for itself in Indian cinema with its atmospheric storytelling, haunting visuals and exploration of greed, ambition and human desire. What began as a film that stood apart from conventional horror narratives gradually found a devoted audience, earning cult status and reaffirming the power of distinctive, original storytelling. For Sohum Shah, however, Tumbbad has always been much more than a film. It was a dream project that demanded six years of his life, requiring him to remain deeply connected to the psychology of his character, Vinayak Rao, even while working on other projects. Tumbbad is an extremely important film in my career and has always been my dream project. I devoted six long years of my life to it, and that kind of commitment is rare. While some actors complete a film in a month or two and then move on from their characters, I had to stay connected to the emotional and psychological world of Vinayak Rao for six years, Sohum shared. The prolonged association with the character also brought its own challenges. Maintaining the physicality required for Vinayak over such an extended period was particularly demanding, especially as Sohum continued to work on other films side by side. Maintaining my physique throughout that period was also challenging, especially since I was working on other projects, such as Talvar and Simran, in between. Yet, it was crucial for me to remain rooted in Vinayaks psychology, he added. The actor's preparation also extended to his speech and diction because of where he belongs to. I come from a small town in Rajasthan, close to the Haryana border, so my natural accent has a strong Haryanvi influence. I had to work extensively on my diction to adapt to the Marathi-influenced tone required for the film. So, yeah, Tumbbad will always remain very close to my heart because I truly put my heart and soul into making it, he added. Eight years later, the film's enduring appeal also brings its central character into focus. Vinayak Rao is a deeply flawed, ambitious man whose insatiable desire for wealth drives much of the narrative. For Sohum, the opportunity to inhabit such a layered character remains one of the most rewarding experiences of his career. Reflecting on what makes the role so special, the actor said, Vinayak is also an incredibly unique character. As actors, we rarely get the opportunity to play a role like this even once in our careers, let alone twice. I feel fortunate to have had this experience. It is a dream role for me, and I will always be as greedy as Hastar for more roles like this. As Tumbbad marks eight years since its theatrical release, Sohum Shah's journey with the film offers a glimpse into the commitment behind a character that continues to resonate with audiences. Its journey from a distinctive theatrical offering to a cult favourite is a testament to the lasting impact of its storytelling, while Sohum's association with Vinayak Rao remains an integral part of the film's legacy. Sohum is currently busy filming Tumbbad 2, the next chapter of the film, which also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Alia Bhatt in important roles.

Radhikka Madan has spoken about the pressure women face to conform to unrealistic beauty standards and the constant scrutiny surrounding their appearance. The actor expressed solidarity with Katrina Kaif, who faced criticism over her postpartum weight gain, and reflected on her own experiences with body-shaming. Radhikka highlighted how women are often judged regardless of whether they gain or lose weight, pointing to the unrealistic expectations placed on them. Radhikka Madan recalls body-shaming during her physical transformation In a conversation with HT City, Radhikka recalled how her physical transformation for films became a subject of criticism. The actor revealed that she gained weight for Pataakha and subsequently began losing it while working on Shiddat and Angrezi Medium. However, the comments about her appearance continued, eventually taking a toll on her health. I had gained 15 kgs for Pataakha, and I was losing that weight through Shiddat and Angrezi Medium. I was told that I was 'too fat. How will she become a heroine?' I kept losing weight and shooting back-to-back, and fully became like bones. It started affecting my health, so I took a break, she shared. Radhikka explained that even after losing weight, she continued to face criticism. While she was initially considered too heavy, her slimmer appearance led to a different set of comments. The experience made her question why she was trying to meet other people's expectations when their opinions kept changing. Earlier, I was too fat, now I was too thin, and in between, I was neither here nor there. I asked myself, why am I trying to please people when they will never be happy? So, I started focusing on feeling healthy rather than chasing a particular body size, she said. Radhikka Madan on unrealistic beauty standards The actor also addressed the pressure young girls face to fit into society's narrow definition of beauty. She pointed out how media representations often reinforce a fixed idea of what an ideal woman should look like, influencing perceptions of appearance from an early age. Recalling her school days, Radhikka revealed that she had a unibrow and facial hair. However, she credited her upbringing with helping her develop confidence and accept her appearance without constantly seeking validation from others. I find the idea of loving yourself a bit too cliche, but you have to accept yourself and have fun. Find your own quirks, she said. Acknowledging that ignoring online criticism is not always easy, Radhikka encouraged people to understand that the idea of a perfect woman is shaped by societal expectations. She also emphasised that accepting oneself is a gradual process that requires time and patience. But be on this journey of finding yourself, your ground, and start by accepting yourself because you are like a snowflake, Radhikka concluded. On the work front, Radhikka was last seen in Lust Stories 3, which is streaming on Netflix.

God bless you, bachcha. Im so proud of you and will always stand by you in all your projects. Your story has only just begun!

Sanjay Dutts note highlights the importance of the effort behind the film, while his assurance of continued support signals his encouragement for Anupriyas work beyond this release. His message also reflects the attention the young producer has received following the films arrival in theatres. For Anupriya, the recognition from an established actor such as Dutt marks a notable moment as she continues her journey in the film industry. Meanwhile, Hanuman Ansh has added to the recent conversation around devotional cinema and the role of audience recommendations in helping smaller films find wider viewership.

Taapsee Pannu starrer Gandhari has featured on the Global Top 10 Non-English Films of Netflix chart for three consecutive weeks, reaching audiences across multiple countries. The film has also brought attention to the actors action performance, including her work on physically demanding sequences. Reflecting on the response to the film and her career trajectory, Taapsee has described herself as the dark horse of Hindi cinema, saying that her projects have often surprised people who did not anticipate their eventual reception. In a statement discussing the films performance, Taapsee Pannu spoke about how she has rarely been associated with projects that rank among the most anticipated releases, despite films such as Pink and Thappad generating conversations around their subjects and performances. I call myself the dark horse because no one really believes that I can do it or what I will end up doing. Its not like when Gandhari was coming, anyone expected it to be among the top five most anticipated films of the year, she said. Pannu went on to continue, This has happened with me in every movie, be it Thappad, Pink, or any of my films. I have never been a part of the most anticipated films to be watched. I will never be like these top three biggest female stars, where when a film of yours comes, people believe that its worth their time to watch it. I have always been the dark horse because eventually I deliver. At times, I feel bad that I have to prove myself so many times. But I am happy being the dark horse. It is also quite an achievement. The actors comments highlight the distinction she draws between the anticipation surrounding a film before its release and the response it receives after reaching audiences. While she acknowledged feeling disappointed at having to repeatedly prove herself, she also described being a dark horse as an achievement. Gandhari has added another action-oriented role to Taapsees filmography. Her performance in the film has drawn attention to the physical demands of the part, including the action sequences she performed herself. The project has also found an audience beyond India, with its continued presence on Netflixs global chart indicating sustained viewership over multiple weeks. Taapsee has previously headlined films such as Pink and Thappad, which placed her performances at the centre of narratives dealing with social issues and personal agency. With Gandhari, she has taken on a role that places greater emphasis on action, adding another dimension to her screen work. The films global performance provides the context for Taapsees latest reflections on her career, as she continues to navigate the expectations surrounding her projects and the response they receive after release.

Anil Kapoor and Rohit Sharma praise Trailer of Abhinay Deos Doosra, set for release on October 23
Filmmaker Abhinay Deos upcoming film Doosra is scheduled to release in theatres on October 23. The makers announced the release date while unveiling the films poster and trailer on digital platforms. Actors Anil Kapoor and Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma have shared their reactions to the trailer, expressing their appreciation for the films premise and its connection to a memorable moment in Indian cricket. Set against the backdrop of Indias historic victory over England in the 2002 NatWest Final, Doosra revisits the moment when former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly waved his shirt from the Lords balcony. The film connects this iconic sporting moment with the personal journey of a young girl named Tara, who struggles to find her voice in a conservative household. Witnessing Gangulys act on television inspires her to challenge the expectations placed on her and speak up for herself, regardless of the consequences. Anil Kapoor praised the trailer and the way the filmmaker has combined real-life events with fiction. He said, I loved the trailer and how Abhinay has managed to blend two different worlds - reality and fiction seamlessly. I still remember the euphoria of the iconic win at the NatWest Series, that was truly unprecedented. It gave an entire generation the belief that India could win anywhere, against anyone. Im really looking forward to watching the film. Rohit Sharma also recalled watching the historic match as a teenager and spoke about the confidence displayed by the Indian team. He said: I was 15 when India won the 2002 NatWest Finalwhat a moment! Not only the comeback but the teams confidence! The film Doosra beautifully captures why the moment was more than just winning a match. Just saw the trailer and looking forward to watching the film!! Explaining the films central theme, director Abhinay Deo said, Doosra is ultimately an uplifting story about a country finding its voice and a young girl finding hers. At its core, it is Indias new freedom story, not the political freedom of 1947, but rather an emotional freedom. That day, Sourav didnt just take off a cricket tshirt; he shed the yoke of colonialism that India had shouldered for so many years after Independence. That day, a young girl in a small town in India proved that deep within each of us, lies a desire to live a free and fulfilling life. Producer Masha Sajdeh said, We are thrilled to finally bring Doosra to the big screen. It is a story about all of us, and each of us. We hope audiences will be entertained, moved and inspired to question long-held conventions. The film is produced by Masha Sajdeh and Rohan Sajdeh, with Neeta Shah serving as co-producer. Agnello Oswin Dias has written the story and screenplay, while Ram Sampat has composed the original score. The cast includes Plabita Borthakur, Ankur Vikal, Samidha Guru, Tvisha Seema and Krishna Gokani.

Kashika Kapoor is gearing up for her upcoming Telugu release, Caste, a horror-comedy drama with a social context. The teaser of presents Kapoor as Gayathri in what is said to be a role she's never done before. Speaking about the character, Kapoor called Gayathri very versatile as she has done something entirely different from what she has done before. The actress describes the character a mix of seriousness and emotions, one that allows her to be emotional and vulnerable. I also get possessed at some point in the film, she said. Kapoor also gained six kilos to fit into the character's template, within a matter of two and a half weeks. Later, I had to lose weight again for other films, so it was a constant back and forth. Its not easy because youre maintaining different looks for different films at the same time. But I had to transform to do justice to the character, she added. Kapoor mentioned that Caste is about our society as the story has been picked up from the Constitution of India. It's a constitutional understanding of caste, about guaranteeing equality. No person should face discrimination, exclusion or injustice because of their caste, she said. What made her more inclined towards the film was its grounded approach as it does not just highlight caste as a concept. It shows how deeply it impacts real lives, choices, and identities even today, she said and added, It doesnt try to preach. It simply tells a story in a very real and raw way. Nothing is pretentious. It just allows the audience to feel and interpret. As an actor, I felt a responsibility to be part of something that sparks conversation and awareness. It may not change everything overnight, but it can shift mindset, perspectives, and start conversations. Thats where change begins, she said. And she's clear about the path she wants to walk. The audience always wants versatility. You need to push yourself out of your comfort zone and get into something extraordinary. You cannot play it safe if you want to grow as an actor, she said.
