Saiee Manjrekar, the daughter of Mahesh Manjrekar and Megha Manjrekar, made her silver screen debut with Dabangg 3 (2019), co-starring superstar Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha. Though the cop drama did not set the cash registers jingling at the box-office, Saiee did receive good reviews for her debut performance in the movie.
There is no update on whether or not the young actress has signed any new Hindi film, but unlike many newcomers, Saiee Manjrekar is keeping her options open. Apart from Bollywood, she seems keen on exploring several regional film producing industries also.
The news is coming in that the actress has been approached for a few projects down south. According to reports, well-known Telugu filmmaker Kiran Korapatti has approached the newcomer for his next directorial offering. “The filmmakers recently narrated the script to Saiee, and she liked the premise as well as how her character pans out,” a source in the know informs a publication.
The source goes on to add that the actress is yet to sign any project on the dotted line. “Also, as her father has done several films in the South, Saiee felt this was a great opportunity for her to make a splash down south, too. However, she has not signed on the agreement yet.”
Reportedly, actor Varun Tej, who has several successful films to his credit, will also play a pivotal role in the untitled movie. An official announcement is awaited.
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A new catalogue will feature unpublished writings and a long interview.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.”

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.
