Jackky Bhagnani returns to acting after six years with Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein': "I wanted the street credibility and respect of Gen Z"

Jackky Bhagnani has returned to acting after a six-year gap with the Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein,' released under his music label Jjust Music. The actor-producer said the song offered him an opportunity to return to the screen with a project that was personally meaningful to him. Bhagnani described himself as a patriot and said the nature of the song played an important role in his decision to face the camera again. “I am a patriot by heart. It’s been quite some time since I faced the camera. So, I thought the best way to come back is with the right cause,” Bhagnani said. The actor's return comes after several years of focusing primarily on film production. According to Bhagnani, stepping away from acting was a conscious decision as he worked behind the scenes and became more involved in producing films.

Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa begin work on second production starring Keerthy Suresh: Report

After stepping into film production with Toaster, which is yet to release on Netflix, actor-producer duo Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa are already gearing up for their next project. Their second venture under their production banner will feature National Award-winning actors Rajkummar Rao and Keerthy Suresh in lead roles and is set to go on floors in Mumbai on June 1.

According to a report by Mid-Day, the untitled film will be a satirical take on India’s current education system, examining how profit motives have increasingly overshadowed the sector's primary purpose—imparting knowledge. The story will unfold through the lens of two educators, played by Rao and Suresh, who seek to expose the commercialization of education. The narrative reportedly uses humour and irony to shed light on how education in India has evolved into a lucrative business, often at the cost of academic integrity and student welfare.

The project marks a collaboration with director Aditya Nimbalkar, who recently helmed the thriller Sector 36 (2024). Shooting will begin in Mumbai after Keerthy Suresh wraps up work on her Tamil film Revolver Rita. A second schedule is planned in Delhi, with the team aiming to complete the film in a continuous 45-day shoot.

For the unversed, the Bollywood couple, earlier this year, announced their production banner, Kampa Films. “Launching KAMPA is an emotional milestone for us. Cinema has played a significant role in shaping our lives, and this is our way of giving back. Raj and I are transforming a shared dream into reality by creating a space for fresh voices and compelling storytelling,” Patralekhaa said during the launch.

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...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
