According to reports, seasoned Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit has signed on to headline a digital film set at Amazon Prime Video. Titled Mere Paas Maa Hai, the project features the actress in the lead role and will be directed by filmmaker Anand Tiwari.

Tiwari has previously directed Love Per Square Foot (2018), Ticket To Bollywood (2020) and the acclaimed streaming show Bandish Bandits (2020). Mere Paas Maa Hai derives its title from the iconic phrase by legendary actor Shashi Kapoor from Yash Chopra’s cult classic Deewar (1975).

Spilling some more beans on the forthcoming film, a source close to the development informs an entertainment portal, “Amazon Prime Video continues to make strong efforts to expand its footprint in India on the back of its aggressive strategies. They recently stepped into Bollywood movie production with Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu, and now they have started investing in feature films as well. Following the footsteps of its rival Netflix, which has been backing web shows as well as original films, Amazon Prime Video will also make feature films now onwards that will directly release on their streaming platform. This move is expected to up the company’s ante against its rivals and expand the content portfolio further.”

Dixit, who was last seen on the silver screen in Dharma Productions’ multi-starrer Kalank (2019), will be making her digital debut with Finding Anamika, produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic.

Set to release on Netflix later this year, the project sees the actress in the role of a global superstar, wife and mother who suddenly vanishes without a trace. It also stars Sanjay Kapoor in the lead role. Karishma Kohli and Bejoy Nambiar are attached to direct.

Onam this year gave us just that: celebrities, often dripping in designer labels, strip it back to something pure, elegant, and powerfully rooted.

Here’s who absolutely nailed the Onam vibe.

Armani fashion journey

Giorgio Armani’s journey from window dresser to fashion emperor

Giorgio Armani: 10 chapters that turned a window dresser into fashion’s emperor

Highlights:

  • Armani began as a window dresser in Milan before sketching suits for Nino Cerruti.
  • In 1975, he launched his own label by selling his car, sparking a quiet fashion revolution.
  • His unstructured suits redefined power dressing for men and women in the 1980s.
  • From American Gigolo to the Oscars, Armani became Hollywood’s style signature.
  • He built a global empire yet stayed hands-on, shaping fashion until his final days at 91.

It’s strange to think Armani once stood behind a shop window, fixing mannequins instead of red carpets. He wasn’t born into Milan’s glittering salons or stitched into privilege. His journey started with burns from a war shell, with a mother who made scraps look elegant, with a young man who quit medical school because he couldn’t quite see his future in blood and bandages.

From there, he picked up fabrics, cuts, and the quiet dream of building something lasting. And against all odds, he did. You know his clothes. You’ve seen that look, the effortless drape of a jacket, the quiet confidence of a suit that doesn’t scream but whispers luxury. Giorgio Armani, who left us last year at 91, wasn’t just a designer, he rewrote how the world dresses. These ten chapters show how he carved that throne.
