Murtuza Iqbal

In 2020, Amit Sadh has surely left a mark in the digital world with web series like Breathe: Into the Shadows, and Avrodh: The Siege Within. He also had multiple films that got direct-to-digital release like Operation Parindey, Yaara, and Shakuntala Devi.


Now, he is all set for his next series titled Zidd which will stream on Zee5. Recently, the teaser of the series was released.

While talking about Zidd, Amit stated, "Zidd is a defining moment in my career. The teaser is an early testimony to that and the real deal is the premiere on 22nd January, 2021. It is the story of a man’s conviction and determination with a lot of heart and emotions. It is based on Major Deependra Singh Sengar, Special Forces officer, the Kargil war hero, and is an ode to his wilful journey. I am glad it is made into a series so that viewers can soak in all highlights and turning points of his journey. I hope the audience will like the teaser and appreciate the soul and hard work that has gone into its making. I am looking forward to what the fans have to say about it.”

Produced by Boney Kapoor, Zidd is slated to start streaming on 22nd January 2021.

For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
