Makers roll out the first look poster of Genius

The makers of Genius have revealed the first look poster of their forthcoming film. Directed by acclaimed Bollywood filmmaker, Anil Sharma, who is known for helming a series of patriotic films such as Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and The Hero, the movie hit the shooting floor last year.

With Genius, young actor Utkarsh Sharma, who is the son of director Anil Sharma, enters the glitzy world of entertainment in a lead role. He made his acting debut as a child artist with Gadar Ek Prem Katha, wherein he played Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s son, Jeet.


The first poster of Genius shows the actor gazing at something intently. Wearing gloves in hands and a Bluetooth in ear, he looks ready to unravel a mystery. Though nothing much is known about the subject of the film, some insider claim that it revolves around a youngster with an unquenchable interest in science.

Utkarsh has been paired opposite debutante Ishita in the film. In addition to two lead actors, Genius also features massively talented Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Ayesha Julka and Mithun Chakraborty in essential roles.

The film is ready for its theatrical release on 24th March 2018.

Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway’s 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'

For the first time since the final Harry Potter film wrapped over a decade ago, Tom Felton is returning to the wizarding world, but not on screen. Instead, the actor is headed to Broadway, where he’ll take on the role of an adult Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The stage production, which continues the story 19 years after the original books, will now feature one of its most iconic characters portrayed by the man who first brought him to life.

Felton will join the cast at New York’s Lyric Theatre beginning 11 November 2025, for a limited 19-week run until 22 March 2026. This also marks his Broadway debut, making the moment doubly significant. Not only is he the first actor from the original film series to step into the stage version of the Potter universe, but he’ll be playing Draco at the exact age the character is in the play, creating a rare full-circle moment for both the actor and the fans.

MEMBERS of the Unite union voted by 97 per cent on a 75 per cent turn out in favour of continuing the industrial action in Birmingham, which began intermittently in January before becoming an all-out stoppage in March.

At the centre of the dispute is a pay row between the cash-strapped city council and workers belonging to Unite which says some staff employed by the council stand to lose £8,000 per year under a planned restructuring of the refuse service.

Finding my tribe in unexpected places

I turned 43 recently, and it was the best birthday of my life. Special for so many reasons. For the first time since my twenties, I spent my birthday abroad. (In case you were wondering – Phuket, Thailand.)

Last year, I impulsively booked myself onto my friend Urvashi’s mind, body and soul expansion experience. Since then, life has taken some unexpected turns – including being made redundant from my day job – so this trip could not have come at a better time.
