By: Mohnish Singh

Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut is set to produce streaming content under her production house Manikarnika Films. She recently announced her foray into the digital space with her maiden streaming project called Tiku Weds Sheru.


Sharing more details on the forthcoming project, Ranaut said in a statement, “With Tiku Weds Sheru, Manikarnika Films is venturing into digital space. It is a love story and a satire with dark humour. In the digital space, we will do more edgy, new-age and niche content. We will also launch new talents and take risks with new concepts. We feel the digital audience is slightly more evolved than the regular cinema-going audience.”

The actress, who was last seen on the screen in Fox Star Studios’ Panga (2020) took to her Instagram account to make the official announcement and reveal the logo for Manikarnika Films.

Kangana Ranaut next stars in Thalaivi, a biographical drama based on the life of former actress and politician J Jayalalithaa who went to serve four times as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. The AL Vijay directorial was earlier set to enter theatres on April 23, 2021. However, the makers had to postpone its release due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in India. The makers will announce the new release date once things regain normalcy.

In addition to Thalaivi, Ranaut will also be seen in Tejas, produced by Ronnie Screwvala under the banner of RSVP Movies. The actress essays the character of an Indian Air Force pilot in the movie, with Sarvesh Mewara calling the shots. The project is currently in production. There is no update on its official release date.

Rowan Atkinson delivers his strongest comedy in years with 'Man vs Baby'

Highlights

  • Atkinson returns as Trevor Bingley in Netflix’s new comedy Man vs Baby, a follow-up to Man vs Bee.
  • The four-part series leans on his trademark physical humour and offers sharper storytelling.
  • Set at Christmas, the show is lighter, warmer, and widely seen as a clear improvement on its predecessor.

Atkinson returns with a sharper sequel

Rowan Atkinson steps back into the role of Trevor Bingley for Netflix’s Man vs Baby, the successor to 2022’s Man vs Bee. The earlier series baffled viewers with its thin premise and awkward CGI, drawing comparisons to Atkinson’s past work without the same comic spark. Reviews at the time were scathing, with some calling it one of the most bewildering projects of his career.

The new series pares things down to four episodes and shows a marked improvement. Trevor is now a divorced father living in a quiet market town and struggling to keep warm as Christmas approaches. He is facing redundancy, overdue bills, and a £9,000 promise to help his daughter study at the Sorbonne.
