Adarsh Gourav

Whosoever watched Netflix’s The White Tiger last year could not stop raving about Adarsh Gourav. His portrayal of Balram in the film won him raves from across the board. The BAFTA nominee actor has landed several exciting projects ever since. He will soon be seen in Scott Z. Burns’ anthology film Extrapolations wherein he shares the screen space with the likes of Meryl Streep, Sienna Miller, and Kit Harrington.

On the home-front, Adarsh Gourav has signed Excel Entertainment's and Tiger Baby's Kho Gaye Hum Kahan on the dotted line. The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday in important roles. Two completely different characters will once again give us a chance to witness his acting skills.

Siddhant Chaturvedi

Siddhant Chaturvedi, who was last seen in Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021), is presently gearing up for the premiere of his much-awaited film Gehraiyaan. Directed by Shakun Batra and produced by Karan Johar, the modern relationship drama also stars Deepika Padukone and Ananya Panday in prominent characters.

The actor will follow Gehraiyaan with Excel Entertainment’s Phone Bhoot, Yudhra, and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. Phone Bhoot, a horror-comedy, also features Ishaan Khatter and Katrina Kaif. Yudhra, a romantic action thriller, sees him opposite Malavika Mohanan.

Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, also starring Ananya Panday and Adarsh Gourav, will give us a digital age story of three friends in Mumbai and one would expect all the nuances of coolness to fill the screens as is always the case with Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby.

Wamiqa Gabbi

Wamiqa Gabbi, who made her debut with Grahan (2021), has been signed on to star in several plum projects. She will be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Khufiya in a lead role opposite Ali Fazal and Tabu. Later this year, she will be seen in Netflix's originals Mai with Sakshi Tanwar and in Vikramaditya Motwane's period drama show Stardust. The actress has a plate full of meaty projects and wishes her all the best for a successful year ahead.

Rohit Saraf

Rohit Saraf can melt the hardest of hearts with his infectious smile and charming looks. The young actor has landed a key role in the remake of the much-awaited Bollywood film Vikram Vedha, where he plays superstar Hrithik Roshan's younger brother. The film, directed by Gayathri and Pushkar, also stars Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte. On the streaming front, Saraf will be seen in the second season of Mismatched.

Sanya Malhotra

Riding high on the success of her last film Meenakshi Sundareshwar (2021), Sanya Malhotra next stars in Hit: The First Case. The official remake of the Telugu-language mystery action-thriller, the upcoming film also stars Rajkumar Rao in the lead role. The actress also has Love Hostel opposite Vikrant Massey in her kitty. A crime thriller, Love Hostel will be an opportunity to see Sanya in an all-new light.

Alaya F

Alaya F, who made her acting debut with Jawaani Jaaneman (2020), will next be seen opposite Kartik Aaryan in Balaji Motion Pictures’ Freddy. Not only Freddy, but she has also bagged Ekta Kapoor's U-Turn where she plays a journalist. The film is the official remake of the 2018 Kannada thriller.

Anchal Singh

After exploring regional cinema successfully, Anchal Singh is all geared up for her Bollywood debut. Last year, she was seen playing the bride in Undekhi, an original web series streaming on SonyLiv where she was noticed by the audience and critics making her one of the prominent faces to look for in 2022. Her soon-to-release web show Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein on Netflix will see her in a very different avatar raising the bar of her talent. She will be seen in Undekhi 2 this year.

Anurag Kashyap calls Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos "the definition of dumb" over 'Sacred Games' remark

Anurag Kashyap is known for being outspoken, and this weekend he made headlines again, this time taking aim at Netflix’s top boss Ted Sarandos. The filmmaker lashed out after Sarandos questioned the streaming platform’s early approach in India, particularly their decision to kick things off with Kashyap’s gritty crime drama Sacred Games in 2018.

During an interview on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF, Sarandos said he may have chosen a more “populist” route if he could go back, admitting the series was perhaps too novel for the Indian market at the time. The comments didn’t sit well with Kashyap, who fired back on social media, calling Sarandos “the definition of dumb” and sarcastically suggesting the platform should’ve launched with traditional “saas-bahu” content instead.

‘Maybe Happy Ending’ wins six Tony Awards as Korean musical makes Broadway history

South Korea just scored a historic milestone at the Tony Awards, with the musical Maybe Happy Ending bagging six trophies, including Best Musical and Best Lead Actor. The show, centred on two ageing helper robots living on the edge of Seoul, left the awards night buzzing. Korean entertainment, long a force in film, television, and music, is now making serious inroads into Western theatre too.


From Seoul to Broadway: A story born in two languages

Maybe Happy Ending wasn’t always destined for the bright lights of Broadway. It first opened in a small Seoul theatre in 2016, a result of a local arts foundation’s programme. Co-created by South Korean lyricist Hue Park and American composer Will Aronson, the story explores loneliness, connection, and memory through the eyes of obsolete robots. Written in both Korean and English, the piece has been reimagined several times since its debut.

Darren Criss, known to many as a Glee star, played Oliver and took home his first Tony for the role. His co-star Helen J Shen portrayed Claire, the other robot. Together, they brought the emotional weight to a futuristic love story that’s more human than it sounds.


While the robots explore feelings in a near-future Seoul, the show managed to preserve distinct Korean elements like Jeju Island and the traditional plant pot hwabun on the Broadway stage, something fans celebrated online.


A cultural shift, decades in the making

With this win, South Korea joins the rare club of nations with major victories across all four major American entertainment awards, including the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and now Tonys. From Parasite to Squid Game, and now Maybe Happy Ending, Korean creators are no longer breaking into the global scene, they’re leading it.

The success also validates years of quiet work in South Korea’s theatre scene. Original musicals like Marie Curie and The Great Gatsby have made appearances in the West End and on Broadway, but Maybe Happy Ending marks the first time a Korean musical has truly swept the Tonys.


As one critic noted, more than awards, it’s about shifting global perspectives. Korean musicals are no longer export hopefuls. They’re now centre stage.
