Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem starrer Kakuda starts rolling

A few weeks ago, there were reports that Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saqib Saleem will be seen in a horror-comedy titled Kakuda, and on Tuesday, the movie went on the floors.

Kakuda is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under his banner RSVP. The production house took to Twitter to make an official announcement about the film, and also revealed that the shooting has kickstarted.


They tweeted, “Triple trouble on the way! Get ready for a spooktacular - laughter riot with our homegrown direct to digital film, #Kakuda! Shoot begins today @AdityaSarpotdar @Riteishd #SonakshiSinha #SaqibSaleem @RonnieScrewvala @iavinashdwivedi @gharkaachirag @nonabains.”

Kakuda is a horror comedy and it will be getting a direct-to-digital release. However, the makers have not yet revealed which streaming platform it will be released.

Aditya Sarpotdar has earlier directed many Marathi films including the Riteish Deshmukh starrer Mauli. So, Kakuda will be his second film with the actor.

Talking about other projects of Sonakshi Sinha, the actress will be seen in Bhuj: The Pride Of India, Bulbul Tarang, and Fallen (Series). Bhuj: The Pride Of India is slated to release on Disney+ Hotstar on 11th August 2021. Reportedly, she will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heera Mandi, however, there’s no official announcement about it.

Meanwhile, Saqib Saleem is awaiting the release of 83 in which he plays the role of Mohinder Amarnath. The movie was slated to release last year but was postponed due to the pandemic. The makers later decided to release it in June this year, but it was delayed once again due to the second wave of Covid-19. The new release date is not yet announced.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
