Arshad Warsi joins the sets of Asur 2

The year 2020 saw the premiere of some great digital shows on various streaming media platforms. One such show, which managed to catch viewers’ fancy, was Voot Select’s Asur featuring Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Ridhi Dogra, Anupriya Goenka and Sharib Hashmi in important roles.

After the runaway success of Season 1, Voot Select has now begun production on Asur 2. Oni Sen is calling the shots and the team is looking at wrapping up the first shooting schedule soon. They are currently shooting in Delhi and will next shoot in Manali and Varanasi.


Actor Arshad Warsi, who returns as Dhananjay Singh, says, “I am overjoyed to start shooting again. As far as my career goes, Asur is one of the best things that has happened to me. It was my digital debut and with season 1 being a huge hit, I am very excited to see how people will respond to our new season. As we start shooting again, the entire team is motivated and is working extremely hard to take season 2 to the next level. When you have a successful first season, there is always a sense of pressure and nervousness. But that is the best kind of pressure, which keeps you motivated to deliver better and bring out the best in all of us.”

Barun Sobti, who reprises his role as Nikhil Nair, is psyched up about Asur 2. “Yes, we are back with a high-octane second season and are working extremely hard, as we know the mammoth importance of following up a hit season with a better one. We understand that the audience is anticipating a great show and the whole team is mentally and physically aligned to the goal. Honestly, I am excited to work on the show but even more excited to see how we fare,” he adds.

Actress Navina Bole accuses Sajid Khan of sexual harassment: "Asked me to strip and sit in my lingerie"

Television actress Navina Bole has come forward with a troubling story about filmmaker Sajid Khan, adding her voice to the list of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. In a recent interview with Subhojit Ghosh, Bole recounted how a professional opportunity quickly turned into an uncomfortable and inappropriate situation.

Heather Graham slams Hollywood’s treatment of women, launches her own studio

After decades in the film industry, Heather Graham is looking to change the game and she’s ready to build something of her own to do it. Starting out in the 1980s as a teenager, Graham saw first hand how few opportunities existed for women behind the camera. Back then, directing wasn’t even considered an option for most women. “There just weren’t many female directors when I started. It wasn’t cool. It wasn’t encouraged,” she says.

Today, things have shifted. Graham points to Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar success with Barbie as proof that films with a feminist edge can find massive audiences. But she knows there’s still a long way to go. That’s why she’s thinking about launching her own production company, following in the footsteps of Reese Witherspoon and Margot Robbie, women who have built platforms to tell stories that centre women’s experiences.

'Star Wars' creator George Lucas gives a lesson in effective speaking as he explains 'Yodaspeak'

If you've ever wondered why Yoda from Star Wars talks the way he does, you're not alone. For decades, fans have come up with theories, everything from ancient Jedi traditions to alien grammar rules. But George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, recently set the record straight, and the answer is surprisingly simple.

At a special screening celebrating The Empire Strikes Back's 45th anniversary, Lucas explained that Yoda’s odd speech wasn’t about sounding mystical or ancient. It was a deliberate move to make sure people especially kids actually listened. "If you speak regular English, people don’t pay much attention," Lucas said at the TCM Classic Film Festival. "But if the words come out differently, if it's a little strange, it forces you to concentrate on what’s being said."

RSC’s 'Much Ado About Nothing' falls flat with awkward modern makeover

Although it is in vogue to create daring or outlandish interpretations by decontextualising original works, the jury’s still out regarding how effective many of these servings actually are. This applies equally to Stratford’s RSC’s recent outputs – including King John and Macbeth – both of which were problematic from a traditional or puritan perspective.

Their latest production of Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Michael Longhurst, is no exception. The production is – at best – a mediocre comedy that raises a few titters and – at worst – an exceptional disappointment.
