Fans always get excited whenever star-kids make their debut on silver screen and take their parents’ legacy forward. If we talk about which is the next star-kid the audience is all agog to see making a debut in filmdom, then it has to be none other than Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan.

Well, the suave and handsome Aryan Khan is indeed entering the Hindi film industry, but he has taken a different route to make his debut. According to reports, filmmaker Karan Johar, who is very close to the Khan family, has brought Aryan onboard to assist him on his forthcoming directorial venture, Takht.

The big-ticket film, which Johar announced last year, is a period drama featuring an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Bhumi Pednekar. Aryan, who is more interested in filmmaking than acting, will assist Dharma Productions’ head on his ambitious project.

Takht has screenplay by Sumit Roy, while Hussain Haidry has penned the dialogues. Set to begin production towards the end of the year, the movie is scheduled to buzz into theatres in 2020.

Elton John and Dua Lipa demand action to stop AI from using artists’ work

Music legends Elton John and Dua Lipa have taken a firm stand against the unchecked rise of artificial intelligence in the creative world. They’ve joined a group of over 400 British artists, writers, and performers urging the Prime Minister to update copyright laws to better protect their work from being exploited by AI systems.

The stars are calling on Sir Keir Starmer to support an amendment to the Data (Use and Access) Bill. This amendment would require tech companies to inform creators if their work is used to train AI models. John, Lipa, and others believe that without this change, they risk losing control over their creations, essentially handing them over to tech firms without consent or compensation.

Vijay Deverakonda’s romantic image takes a turn as 'Kingdom' kicks off a power-packed May

May is shaping up to be a milestone month for Vijay Deverakonda, with a new film, fresh music, and a spotlight on the romantic roles that made him a star.

Deverakonda, who shot to national fame with Arjun Reddy, has long been associated with intense, emotionally complex romantic leads. Whether as the self-destructive surgeon in Arjun Reddy or the soft-spoken charmer in Geetha Govindam, he carved a space for himself as the unconventional ‘loverboy’, sometimes unpredictable, many times flawed, but undeniably magnetic.

Abhishek Jain's Maaran explores the dark realities of patriarchy through the gripping survival stories of two women

Abhishek Jain's 'Maaran' is a gripping Gujarati survival thriller that exposes the dark side of patriarchy and power

In Maaran, director Abhishek Jain trades urban comfort for unsettling discomfort, presenting a grim world where women’s bodies are battlegrounds and silence is often enforced by fear. Set in an isolated village, the film drags the viewer into a reality that is as disturbing as it is familiar.

At the heart of the film are two women: Birwa and Tara. Strangers at first, they are bound by the same invisible chains that pull countless women into cycles of exploitation. Birwa is a victim of human trafficking; Tara is on the brink of becoming one. Their stories run parallel, then collide, in ways that shake them and us to the core. The film’s narrative doesn’t offer dramatic rescues or grand revenge. Instead, it focuses on the internal shifts that happen when survival becomes a woman’s only compass.
