Nushrat Bharucha on her film Chhalaang releasing directly on streaming platform

By: Mohnish Singh

Nushrat Bharucha, who was last seen in Dream Girl (2019) alongside Ayushmann Khurrana, is presently busy promoting her upcoming film Chhalaang. Initially scheduled to release in theatres in March, the social back-comedy film is now set to premiere directly on streaming media giant Amazon Prime Video.


When asked about her reaction to Chhalaang releasing on a digital platform instead of theatres, Bharucha said in an interview, “I am happy that it is finally reaching the audience because we were waiting for people to watch it. It had been ready for a while. I am really glad that it is coming on an OTT platform like Amazon Prime as it has the correct audience for us. I think we will have better viewership and film will reach more people than we had expected because TV has a higher reach.”

The Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) actress plays the role of a computer teacher in the upcoming film, while National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao will be seen as her love-interest. He plays a lazy PT teacher who does not take much interest in his job. Talented actors Saurabh Shukla, Satish Kaushik, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Ila Arun, and Jatin Sarna round off the cast.

This is the first time Rajkummar Rao and Nushrat Bharucha are working together on a project. The trailer of the film has already received a good response from the audience, and now everyone is waiting for its premiere on Amazon Prime Video.

Directed by well-known filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Chhalaang is a Luv Films’ production presented by Gulshan Kumar and Bhushan Kumar. It has been produced by Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan, and Ankur Garg. The much-awaited film is slated to start streaming on 13th November only on Amazon Prime Video.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
