Lyca Productions teams up with Akshay Kumar for Ram Setu

By Murtuza Iqbal

Akshay Kumar starrer Ram Setu is all set to start rolling soon, and recently, it was revealed that the mahurat shot of the film will take place in Ayodhya, India.


When the film was announced last year on Diwali, Akshay was producing it with Abundantia Entertainment, and now, Lyca Productions has teamed up with Akshay to back the project. The actor has earlier worked with the production house in the film 2.0.

The production house took to Twitter to make an announcement about it. They tweeted, "After the mega-budget blockbuster ‘2.0’, @akshaykumar & @LycaProductions collaborate once again for “Ram Setu”. Subaskaran & Mahaveer Jain join forces with Cape Of Good Films and Abundantia Entertainment for #RamSetu. Film’s muhurat shot to be held on 18th March."

Lyca Productions is one of the biggest production houses down South. They have produced movies like Kaththi, Vada Chennai, Kaappaan, Darbar, and others.

Directed by Abhishek Sharma, Ram Setu also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Nushrratt Bharuccha in the lead roles. This will be Akshay and Jacqueline's fifth film together. Meanwhile, Nushrratt will be teaming up with Akshay for the first time.

A few days ago, the team had met for a script reading session, and Akshay had posted about it on Instagram, "The team that preps together excels together! An extremely productive script reading session with the team of #RamSetu this evening. Can’t wait to begin filming this one. @jacquelinef143 @nushrrattbharuccha #AbhishekSharma #CapeOfGoodFilms @abundantiaent @ivikramix #DrChandraprakashDwivedi."

Menopause mindfulness: Using MBCT to ease emotional and  mental challenges

Mita Mistry

The heat flares up, then fades, leaving behind a chill of uncertainty. Menopause is not just a physical challenge; it is a profound emotional shift, a re-evaluation of identity, roles and the future. What begins with whispers – missed periods, sleepless nights, brain fog – can escalate into a roar, drowning out the quiet undercurrents of emotional upheaval.

We may find ourselves lost, questioning who we are, grappling with a sense of loss, and battling the unwelcome guests of anxiety and irritability.

Jewel Thief: Self-indulgent stealing story badly let down by silly screenplay

This newly released Netflix crime caper illustrates everything that is currently wrong with commercial Bollywood films. The silly stinker was not good enough for a cinema release, so it was dumped straight on to a streaming platform, with style clearly taking precedence over substance.

Saif Ali Khan plays a suave, globetrotting thief who is blackmailed by a mysterious underworld figure (Jaideep Ahlawat) into stealing a priceless diamond from a museum in Mumbai. Naturally, there is a backstory involving the guilt-ridden protagonist and a law enforcement officer hot on his trail. But instead of offering a gripping battle of attrition or an engaging heist thriller, the film descends into a muddled melting pot of tired clichés and what seem like a series of self-indulgent moments from the lead cast.
