Sridevi’s last film Mom to hit Chinese screens on 10th May

Veteran actress Sridevi, often regarded as the first female superstar of Indian cinema, left a big void in Indian cinematic universe when she breathed her last on 24th February, 2018. Though she is not with us anymore, her films will keep her alive in the hearts of millions of her fans spread all across the world.

Sridevi impressed critics and viewers alike with her riveting performance in the 2017 film Mom, which unfortunately turned out to be her last film. After enthralling audiences in India and some other territories across the globe, the critically and commercially successful film is now set for its Chinese premiere.


Directed by Ravi Udyawar, Mom will enter Chinese theatres on 10th May, ahead of Mothers’ Day on 12th May. Earlier, the film was slated to release on March 22. However, now the makers have shifted it to 10th May.

“We wanted to pick the perfect date for the release of such a special film like Mom in China, which is a huge market and has great potential for the film to do well. As a tribute to all mothers, we have chosen May 10 to release this riveting film in China,” said Vibha Chopra, Head of Zee Studios International (Film Marketing, Distribution and Acquisition).

Besides Sridevi, Mom also features Akshaye Khanna and Pakistani actor Sajal Ali in important roles. The English Vinglish (2012) actress won the National Film Award for Best Actress posthumously for her powerful performance in the movie.

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.
