Second schedule of Ek Villain Returns to take place in Goa

Second schedule of Ek Villain Returns to take place in Goa

By Murtuza Iqbal

Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain Returns stars John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Tara Sutaria, and Disha Patani. The first shooting schedule of the film was wrapped up in Mumbai, and the second shooting schedule will take place in Goa.


According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the second shooting schedule will start from 16th April.

Ekta Kapoor, who is co-producing the film, stated, “Shooting during these times is hard on the cast & crew, but they’ve shown fantastic resilience and great teamwork and have turned things around at such short notice; we are ready to roll this week. The scale and mounting of the film call for live, scenic locales instead of studio floors. Also, Goa has always been a character in itself in Mohit’s films. So I am excited to see how Mohit will showcase Goa in Ek Villain Returns.”

Another producer Bhushan Kumar added, “Our first schedule went off well in Mumbai last month, but with rising cases in the city, we have to be careful and ensure the safety of our cast and crew. Mohit and his team scouted some good locations in Goa where the team shoots next. Goa has always been an integral part of all Mohit’s films, Ek Villain Returns will also make the place an important character. The protocols laid down by our governments will be followed and we hope the shoot goes off well.”

Ek Villain Returns is slated to release on 11th February 2022.

Final push for 'Stop Killing Games' as Ross Scott prepares to step back

Campaign to preserve games faces critical deadline

With less than a month remaining, the Stop Killing Games initiative launched by YouTuber and gaming advocate Ross Scott is approaching its final deadline. The campaign, which seeks to protect players’ access to games even after publishers shut down their servers, was sparked by Ubisoft’s decision to permanently disable The Crew in 2023.

Scott, known online as Accursed Farms, has spent the past year rallying public and political support. Despite media attention and significant effort, the campaign's key goal, a European Citizens’ Initiative reaching one million signatures, remains unmet.
