While Shaheer is busy garnering loads of praises for his brilliant performance in the show, rumours have been doing the rounds lately that he has also signed a Hindi film.


These rumours started when the handsome hunk shared a picture with the leading Bollywood casting director, Shanoo Sharma, on his social media page. Shanoo takes care of casting requirements at Yash Raj Films, one of the leading moviemaking banners in India.

However, it turns out that Shaheer Sheikh is not making his debut in Bollywood anytime soon. When the actor was contacted to know if he is really doing a movie, he refuted the reports, “No, I am not. I haven't signed any film yet,” said the actor.

At least, for now, Shaheer is not venturing into films. But there is a huge chunk of the audience that does want to see the actor grace the silver screen one day.

Kashyap’s review singles out craft over ideology

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has added his voice to the praise for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, saying he admired the film even though he did not agree with all of its political messaging. Writing on Letterboxd, Kashyap said he chose to look past what he felt were a couple of propaganda-heavy moments and instead focus on the quality of the filmmaking.

He noted that hostility towards an enemy state is often built into the genre itself, adding that he had no issue with that aspect. However, he pointed to two specific dialogues that troubled him, saying that setting them aside allowed the film to work strongly on its own terms. He described Dhurandhar as a good, and ultimately brilliant, film largely set in Pakistan.
