Nidhhi Agerwal, who made her acting debut with Bollywood film Munna Michael (2017) opposite Tiger Shroff, had two Tamil releases this Pongal – Eeswaran and Bhoomi. Both films managed to garner positive response from critics and cinemagoers alike.

The 8-hour rebellion: Deepika Padukone walked off a blockbuster and lit a fire under Bollywood’s toxic work culture

It didn’t take a walkout on a picket line or a fiery press conference to shake the Indian film industry; it took Deepika Padukone quietly demanding, “Eight hours.” No dramatic monologue or sensational tweets.
