Ram Gopal Varma calls Seedance 2.0 the “asteroid” set to brutally murder film industry’s “arrogance”: “This is actually the liberation of cinema”

-
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has stirred a fresh debate on the future of cinema, calling AI tool “Seedance 2.0” the “murderer of the film industry” while also describing it as a force of liberation. In a post shared on February 25, 2026, Varma argued that advanced AI filmmaking tools could dismantle the traditional structure of the movie business. Referring to blockbuster filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli, he wrote that directors like Rajamouli command massive budgets due to their proven creative vision and track record. However, he questioned how many equally talented storytellers across India never get access to funding or industry networks. According to Varma, tools like Seedance 2.0 have “kicked the gate down and set it on fire,” enabling creators from small towns to generate large-scale, cinematic visuals using descriptive prompts alone. He described it as “true democracy in motion,” suggesting that AI shifts power away from a select few and into the hands of the masses. Varma went furthe...

Rs. 700 cr. budget hurdle delays Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 4 to 2026; Siddharth Anand exits and a new team likely to take charge

-

The Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan franchise Krrish is the most awaited of Indian Cinema, however, the fourth installment of the superhero saga is time and again getting delayed due to several reasons. We have exclusively heard that Krrish 4 is set to postpone once again and this time, it's due to budget constraints. A reliable source shared with Bollywood Hungama, "Krrish 4 warrants the budget of approx. Rs. 700 crores, and no studio is willing to shell out such an exorbitant amount and take that big a risk. Hrithik had assigned the job of getting a studio on board to his friend, Siddharth Anand, who was also producing the film." The leading studios in India were hesitant with the Rs. 700 crore budget. "The studios were not confident about Krrish at this budget in the post-Marvel era as it has been more than a decade since the release of Krrish 4."

The source further tells us that Siddharth Anand and Marflix will no longer be associated with Krrish 4. "Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan had a closed-door meeting and have now decided to speak to studios all across India personally and lock a lucrative deal for the film. Krrish 4 will now be produced by FilmKraft with a leading studio, whereas Marflix will focus on other projects outside of Krrish."

The source also tells us that Karan Malhotra will no longer direct Krrish 4, as the director was roped in by Siddharth Anand. "With Sid taking a backseat, Karan too will part ways with the project. A brand new team will now come on board film, to rework the budgets first and then take the film on floors. The things should be better for Hrithik once War 2 releases and scores big results."

Krrish 4 was supposed to go on floors in 2nd half of 2025, but now it seems that the film has been pushed to 2026.

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...
