Filmmaker Hardik Gajjar on why Pratik Gandhi was the perfect choice for Bhavai

Pratik Gandhi, whose breakout performance in Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020) made him a household name in India, has a slew of exciting projects under his belt. One of them is the upcoming Hindi film Bhavai. The film marks Gandhi’s much-awaited debut in Bollywood.

Recently, the makers dropped the official trailer of Bhavai, which has crossed a whopping 10M+views in just a few days of its launch. The terrific response that the trailer has garnered clearly shows how excited the audience is for the film.


Bhavai stars Gandhi alongside popular Kannada actress Aindrita Ray. The film is a love story that would take the viewers on a journey filled with the folk flavour of Gujarat, colourful characters, heart-touching performances, and a powerful storyline based on the enigmatic tale of Ram Leela.

Ahead of the release of Bhavai, filmmaker Hardik Gajjar, who is also making his directorial debut with the film, reveals why Gandhi was the perfect choice for the lead role. He says, “Our story is about a young man trying to fulfil his dreams of becoming an actor. When we spoke to Pratik about this, he was excited about the character as he can relate to him working his way up to being the coveted star he is today. It was amazing to see him use the hunger every artist feels as he stepped into the shoes of his character. Though Pratik is now a household name, we decided to collaborate with him a while before that. His hard work has always been his strongest power and it is no surprise that he is getting so much love from the audience. He is one of the finest actors I have seen working his magic onscreen and I couldn’t be happier with what we have created for the audience here.”

Bhavai is presented by Dr. Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios) and produced by Dhaval Jayantilal Gada, Akshay Jayantilal Gada, Parth Gajjar, and Hardik Gajjar Films in association with Backbencher Pictures, the film also features Abhimanyu Singh and Flora Saini in important roles.

Diddy sues NBCUniversal for $100M over explosive documentary allegations

Sean "Diddy" Combs has taken legal action against NBCUniversal, its streaming platform Peacock, and production company Ample Entertainment, seeking $100 million in damages over the documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court, claims the documentary falsely portrays him as a criminal, making baseless accusations about his involvement in sex trafficking, abuse, and even murder.

The lawsuit alleges that the documentary advances wild conspiracy theories, linking Combs to the deaths of his former partner Kim Porter, rapper Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, and others. According to Combs' legal team, the film deliberately presents him as a "monster" and compares him to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, despite a lack of credible evidence.

Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress moment goes viral: Hollywood’s new leading lady?

Kim Kardashian is back in a wedding dress, but this time, it’s strictly for the cameras. The 44-year-old reality star and entrepreneur was recently spotted filming a wedding sequence for All’s Fair, an upcoming legal drama from acclaimed producer Ryan Murphy.

Dressed in a strappy white gown and flowing veil, Kim was seen holding hands with co-star Matthew Noszka on a Malibu beach. The scene even included a dramatic kiss, with Noszka all suited up in pastel blue dipping her for the moment. While the images set social media abuzz, this isn’t the start of a new marriage for Kim—it’s just part of her latest acting role.



This marks Kim’s second collaboration with Murphy after her role in American Horror Story: Delicate. Over the years, she has taken on smaller acting roles, including film cameos and voice work. However, All’s Fair signals a bigger step into scripted television, featuring an all-star cast that includes Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson. The series reportedly centres on an all-female team of divorce lawyers in Los Angeles, with Kim not only acting but also serving as an executive producer alongside her mother, Kris Jenner.
