John Abraham and Sharvari to lead Vedaa

Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment, and JA Entertainment have announced their next Vedaa starring John Abraham, Sharvari, and Abhishek Banerjee. Helmed by Nikkhil Advani, the film officially commenced its shoot in Rajasthan on 20th June and promises audiences a thrilling experience filled with high-octane sequences and gripping action. John is touted to take on the role of a mentor, guiding and training Sharvari’s character.

After the critical success of Mrs Chatterjee VS Norway, Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment have joined forces once again with Vedaa. As the team embarked on this exciting venture yesterday, they aim to deliver an edge-of-your-seat cinematic experience.


John Abraham says, “I am looking forward to giving my all for this project. This riveting story will definitely leave an imprint in your mind as it did for me. I am honoured to play the part and excited for kickstarting this journey.”

Sharvari, who has been dubbed as a star in the making in Bollywood, shares her excitement to be directed by Nikkhil Advani. She says, “Nikkhil sir is one of the most disruptive voices in Indian cinema and I feel lucky to be directed by him so early in my career. I would like to thank him for trusting me with a titular role as Vedaa. It’s a privilege to work with John Abraham and I am sure I will get to learn a lot from him on this journey. I love the entire Emmay Entertainment team and I want to thank them for nurturing me creatively with this film. I’m super excited about filming Vedaa.”

Coming together after Batla House, director Nikkhil Advani, and John Abraham have the perfect recipe for success. Commenting on this, Nikkhil says, “Post Batla House, John and I were wondering how best to solidify our collaboration. With Vedaa we have found that hard-hitting story that can be elevated to a wider and broader audience with some incredible action. Sharvari is possibly one of the most hard-working actors I have had the pleasure of working with. The way she has got into the skin of the character and has made it her own is so inspiring.”

Talking about its association with Emmay and JA Entertainment, Shariq Patel, CBO, Zee Studios says, "After the success of Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway, we are happy to team up once again with Emmay Entertainment. Our previous collaboration with John Abraham on Parmaanu was a huge success as well. Vedaa is a gripping story and the way Nikkhil has visualised it will ensures dollops of thrill with a very strong message.

Monisha Advani of Emmay Entertainment adds, “We at Emmay always look to tell stories we believe in. Vedaa is one such story. With Nikkhil and John reuniting after Batla House, I am excited for the audience to see the magic they create once again.”

Excited about the project, Madhu Bhojwani of Emmay Entertainment remarks, “Getting to the bottom of every story that moves us has been one of our prime motives and with Vedaa, we want to bring out a gripping narrative that will shake the world in its order."

Minnakshi Das of JA Entertainment adds, “The story depicted in Vedaa is definitely intriguing and only time can show the audiences what we have in store for them in terms of plots and twists, which is inspired by a true story.”

Directed by Nikkhil Advani & written by Aseem Arora, Vedaa is produced by Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment, and JA Entertainment.

The film is currently on floors and is slated to release next year.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
