Ram Madhvani credits Kartik Aaryan for giving him courage during the filming of Dhamaka

The upcoming Bollywood film Dhamaka has been creating a lot of noise ever since its announcement last year. This was one of the first Bollywood films to begin production in the pandemic. Recently, the makers dropped the trailer of the film, which managed to receive overwhelming response from the audience.

As the much-anticipated action-thriller nears its release, director Ram Madhvani heaped praises on Kartik Aaryan who plays the lead role in Dhamaka.


Madhvani in his latest interview with a leading portal shared his on-set experience, saying, “On day 5, I did take 1. At a certain point, people started asking if we were shooting that honest or dishonest, where ‘honest’ meant the way that we shoot, while ‘dishonest’ meant we'll shoot Mrunal, Kartik and Soumya separately. After that shot, I thought it was not working. I was with the team discussing this, and Kartik happened to be around. I told my team that we were going to do it the traditional way.”

He further mentioned how Aaryan catalysed the entire process and motivated him to be at his best as Madhvani added, “As soon as Kartik said ‘Sir, Traditional?’, I realized that he gave me courage. I have not had an actor tell me and give me that kind of push, who says ‘You go for what you want to go for’. I think that was a big day for me. I remember that day vividly. And that's the reason I said, ‘I think we can work together again,' and we did take 2, and it worked!"

Dhamaka, produced by RSVP Movies, Ram Madhvani Films, Lotte Cultureworks, Global Gate Entertainment and Lionsgate, starts streaming from November 19 on Netflix.

Young British Asians finally get a platform on BBC Asian Network to talk identity, mental health and work life

Highlights:

  • BBC Asian Network is starting a new show called Asian Network Trending.
  • The show runs for two hours every week and is made for young British Asians.
  • It covers the topics that matter most to them like what’s trending online, questions of identity, mental health etc.
  • Amber Haque and the other hosts will share the show in turns, each talking about the issues they know and care about.
  • The network is moving to Birmingham as part of bigger changes behind the scenes.

Speaking up isn’t always easy. This show gives young people a space where their voices can be heard. Music on the radio, sure. Bhangra, Bollywood hits, endless remixes. But real conversations about identity, family pressure, mental health? Rarely. Until now.

From 27 October, Asian Network Trending goes live every Wednesday night for two hours of speech instead of beats. The first hour dives into trending news; the second hour goes deeper into family expectations, workplace racism, LGBTQ+ issues, and mental health stigma. And it’s not just one voice. Amber Haque and other rotating presenters keep it fresh.
