The trailer of Call My Agent: Bollywood is damn good and there are many scenes in it that would make you laugh out loud. It stars Aahana Kumra, Ayush Mehra, Rajat Kapoor, and Soni Razdan in the lead roles, and celebs like Farah Khan, Ali Fazal, Richa Chadha, Lara Dutta, Jackie Shroff, and Dia Mirza will be seen in cameos.

Call My Agent: Bollywood is the Indian adaptation of the French series Dix Pour Cent. The Indian adaptation is directed by Shaad Ali who has earlier helmed films like Saathiya, Bunty Aur Babli, Ok Jaanu and others.

According to PTI, Ali in a statement said, “It was a huge responsibility to be mindful of the original screenplay that has been such a success and yet has my own stamp on the adaptation. Each component of this show has been thought through with intricacy - right from the casting to the cameos.”

"Each of us, included in this project, have poured their heart and soul into it and I cannot wait to show the audiences the satirical world of showbiz through my lens. Rajat, Ayush, Aahana, and Soni share such brilliant chemistry with each other that shooting with them has been a riot," the director added.

From Cannes to Krypton: Terence Stamp’s 10 career milestones

Highlights

  • Oscar-nominated debut in Billy Budd (1962)

Terence Stamp never played life safely. He wasn’t the sort of actor who coasted on charm or looks, though he had both in abundance. Instead, he kept disappearing and reappearing, reinventing himself each time, with roles that felt daring, unsettling, or quietly revolutionary. He could have been a matinée idol forever, but that would’ve been boring. Stamp preferred to be unpredictable.

Fahadh Faasil reveals why he turned down Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Hollywood film offer

Highlights

  • Fahadh Faasil confirmed he was in talks with The Revenant director Alejandro González Iñárritu for an international project.
  • The actor said the filmmaker had concerns about his accent and suggested a four-month stay in the US for training.
  • Faasil declined as the production was unwilling to cover the cost, adding he “didn’t feel the fire” to pursue it.
  • He emphasised that his creative journey is rooted in Malayalam cinema and he prefers to evolve within it.

Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil, fresh off the success of Maareesan, has opened up about an unusual chapter in his career: an offer to work with Academy Award-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Known for films like Birdman and The Revenant, the Mexican filmmaker had considered Faasil for a role in his upcoming Hollywood project.

In a recent interview with Cue Studio, the actor revealed that discussions reached the stage of a video call with Iñárritu. However, the collaboration fell through when the director raised concerns about Faasil’s English accent. The production suggested that Faasil spend several months in the United States to work on speech training, an arrangement that required him to relocate at his own expense.
