REVEALED: Not Emraan Hashmi or Akshay Kumar, this actor plays Bade Sahab in Dhurandhar The Revenge

-
The all-time grosser Dhurandhar (2025) ended on a high. Viewers wondered who Bade Sahab is and most importantly, which actor would essay the role of the mysterious figure. In the months that followed, speculations arose that Emraan Hashmi or Akshay Kumar had been signed to play Bade Sahab. It has now come to light that these reports were false and its actor, Danish Iqbal, who essays the said part. Danish Iqbal has previously worked in significant films and shows like Maharani, Aranyak, Faraaz, Aakhri Sach, Bhakshak, Haq, The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case etc. Last week, viewers saw him in the role of K C Majumdar in Prakash Jha's recently released web series, Sankalp. Like Dhurandhar, the political revenge drama was also produced by Jio Studios. Speaking of Dhurandhar The Revenge, it is the sequel to Dhurandhar (2025), which starred Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and others. It tells the story of an Indian who infiltra...

Is the US government prepared to withstand another January 6? That’s the question a new documentary sparking conversation at the Sundance film festival chillingly poses, arguing that US government and military officials must brace for the possibility of a potential political coup in a divided America.

The six-hour exercise asked a bipartisan group of US defense, intelligence and elected policymakers spanning five presidential administrations to role-play the administrative response to a political coup backed by rogue members of the US military in the wake of a contested election.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
