Fronted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, filmmaker Nagraj Manjule's sports drama Jhund (2022) is gearing up for its digital premiere on ZEE5. The streamer is set to release the film on May 6.

The film featured Bachchan as Vijay Barse, a Nagpur-based retired sports teacher who pioneers a slum soccer movement. Jhund released theatrically in March but couldn't translate its glowing reviews to box office glory.

Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India described "Jhund as an inspiring film which sends a "powerful message to our youth".  "The stories right from the heartlands resonate with audiences and I am happy to bring it exclusively for our ZEE5 audiences. As a customer, the first brand we will continue to invest in understanding our viewers and their interest areas to build a slate of real, authentic, and relatable content. The roster for the next few months is strong and we are hopeful, 'Jhund' will drive in much love and appreciation from the audiences," Kalra said in a statement on Thursday.

Jhund, which marked the Hindi debut of Manjule after acclaimed Marathi films like Sairat and Fandry, was produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series.

Kumar said the story of "Jhund" transcended boundaries. "It's such a great feeling to take Jhund a notch higher as a wider set of audience will witness this Nagraj Manjule's gem not just in India but worldwide through this release," the producer said.

The film also starred Sairat stars Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar and a host of first-time actors.

"After receiving much love from the audiences, I am glad that now people will get to watch it over and over again with its digital release on ZEE5," Manjule added.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Raaj Hiremath, Gargee Kulkarni, Meenu Aroraa, and Manjule. Jhund also featured Sayli Patil, Vicky Kadian, Kishor Kadam, and Bharat Ganesh Pure in significant roles.

Saif Ali Khan reunites with the auto rickshaw driver who saved his life

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan had an emotional reunion with Bhajan Singh Rana, the auto rickshaw driver who came to his rescue during a life-threatening situation. Their meeting was a true moment of appreciation and gratitude, six days after Saif survived a frightening attack.

The horrifying incident unfolded when Saif was attacked during an attempted burglary and stabbed six times. Saif, severely hurt and in pain, tried to find help whilst wearing a white kurta that turned crimson from his own blood. In his darkest hour, he met Rana, who displayed great courage and compassion.

Speaking to the media, Rana clearly recalled the night. He expressed his shock at finding Saif, bloodied and accompanied by a toddler, and frantically trying to figure out how long it would take to reach the hospital. Without hesitation, Rana urged Saif to get into his auto and sped to Lilavati Hospital. Rana reached the hospital in just 8–10 minutes, putting aside any thoughts of charging for the trip and focusing solely on Saif's safety

For days following the tragedy, storeys circulated about whether Saif would meet the man who had saved his life. On Tuesday, soon before being released from the hospital, Saif addressed those queries with a heartfelt gesture.

Shahid Iqbal Khan: ‘Faith is at heart of 10 Nights, but play has universal appeal’

OLIVIER-AWARD nominated play 10 Nights only came into fruition after writer Shahid Iqbal Khan overcame his own “assumptions and judgments” over whether a story set in a mosque would appeal to a non-Muslim audience.

10 Nights is a poignant and humorous exploration of faith, love, and personal discovery. It follows Yasser (Adeel Ali), who embarks on a spiritual journey as he takes on the challenge of completing I’tikaf – 10 consecutive days of prayer and fasting in a mosque during Ramadan.
