In 2020, Priyanka Chopra completes 20 years in the show business and has been celebrating the milestone by sharing multiple posts with the hashtag, #20in2020. A few days ago, she had posted about winning the Miss World crown and today, the actress posted about her first three films, Thamizhan, The Hero, and Andaaz.
Priyanka captioned the post as, “Back to where it all started... #20in2020 Seems like another lifetime now... back when it all started and I fell in love with the movies. Being in Indian movies was like entering a magical world.. I went in blind, with no idea what to expect and no formal training. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of challenges and milestones with so much I’ve learned since and so many incredible people I met along the way. I’d like to thank everyone who took a chance on me at the beginning. These 3 movies set me up on a trajectory I would never have expected. Can't agree more lala paaji @larabhupathi... We were such kaccha papads (novices) !?? Thank you for your beautiful words... you are as gracious and kind as the first day we met ❤️ Thamizhan - 2002 Late #GVenkateswaran sir #AbdulMajith sir #Vijay sir The Hero - 2003 #AnilSharma @iamsunnydeol @realpz Andaaz - 2003 Late #RajKanwar #SuneelDarshan @akshaykumar @larabhupathi #20in2020.”
The video features Lara Dutta and the actress has stated, “Working with Priyanka in Andaaz, very very special. Especially if you have had that kind of history together, for her to be one of my first female co-stars that I worked with. Both of us were really, I have to say kachcha papads. We really didn’t know much about the industry. So, it was really good to have, you know, watching each other’s back. I still remember shooting on the sand dunes in South Africa and the entire unit left us on the sand dunes in a silhouette shot. Packed up and moved away and left us two green horns dancing to some random song on sand dunes while everybody just left. And we had no clue because we were being so dedicated and focused that nobody told us that it was a cut.”
Talking about Priyanka’s upcoming projects, she will next be seen in The White Tiger which will release on Netflix. The actress also has projects like We Can be Heroes, Text For You and The Matrix 4 in her kitty.
Meanwhile, Lara Dutte will be seen in BellBottom which also stars Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi and Vaani Kapoor.
Amar Kanwar is getting a huge London show in 2026.
Will host a site-specific, immersive installation.
Feature both new and existing films, transforming the entire building.
A new catalogue will feature unpublished writings and a long interview.
Indian filmmaker and artist Amar Kanwar, a quiet but monumental figure in contemporary art, is getting a major retrospective at Serpentine North. Slated for September 2026 to January 2027, this Serpentine Gallery retrospective won’t be a standard exhibition. It’s being conceived as a complete, site-specific art installation that will turn the gallery into what organisers call a “meditative visual and sonic environment.”
Amar Kanwar’s immersive films and installations will fill Serpentine North next year Instagram/paolamanfredistudio
What can visitors expect from this retrospective?
Don’t walk in expecting to just sit and watch a screen. Kanwar’s work has never been that simple. The plan is to use the entire architecture of Serpentine North, weaving his films into the very fabric of the space.Yeah, the Serpentine's been tracking his work for years. He was in that 'Indian Highway ' show back in 2008. Turns out that was just the start.
What it is about his work that gets under your skin?
He looks at the hard stuff. Violence. Justice. What we’re doing to the land. But he does it with a poet’s eye. That’s his thing. And it’s put him on the map. You see his work at big-league museums like the Tate, the Met. He’s a fixture at major shows like Documenta. You don't get invited back that many times by chance. His work just has that weight. His art isn’t easy viewing; it asks for your patience and focus. The upcoming Serpentine show is being built specifically to pull you into that slow, deep way of looking.
Alongside the films, the Serpentine will publish a significant catalogue. It’s not just a collection of images. It will feature a trove of Kanwar’s previously unpublished writings, giving a deeper look into his process. The book will also contain an extensive interview between the artist and the Serpentine’s artistic director, Hans Ulrich Obrist.
The gallery is betting big on an artist who works quietly, but whose impact resonates for years. As one staffer put it, they’re preparing for an installation that changes how you see, and hear, everything.
