Sunny Deol signs an action thriller

Action star Sunny Deol, who recently launched his son Karan Deol with his directorial Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas (2019), has confirmed his next film in the lead role. The movie, which is being touted as an action thriller, will be helmed by South filmmaker Hanu Raghavapudi.

Talking about the forthcoming project, Sunny Deol said that it is not a remake of any South Indian movie. "No, it is not a remake of any south film, but a different and very interesting subject, full of action, suspense and thriller. The character too is different from the work I have done till date," said the actor.

The film is currently in its pre-production stage. The makers are planning to begin production by the beginning of April 2020. The untitled project is an action thriller, starring Sunny Deol in a never seen before avatar.

Director Hanu Raghavapudi, who has previously directed Andala Rakshashi and I am Famous, is now making his debut in Bollywood. The director is thankful to producer Anuj Sharma for considering him for such a big break in Hindi cinema.

"It is like a dream come true for me as Sunny sir also loved the script and is equally excited for the film. He has already begun preparing for his look and spending more time in the gym as his look requires a different kind of sculpted body. The movie will have some daredevil action sequences and to do so there is no bigger action star than him," said Hanu Raghavapudi.

"My role in this film is very different, though its too early to prompt anything about my character now, but all I can say, it surely requires me to put in some extra efforts for the same . Hopefully, I am able to achieve what it demands," concluded Sunny Deol.

The film is produced by Anuj Sharma under the banner of Shantketan Entertainment.

Ranbir's 'Ramayana' will go global using AI, says producer Namit Malhotra

Producer Namit Malhotra is betting big on Ramayana, not just as a film for Indian audiences, but as a story that can speak to viewers across the world. At the WAVES Summit in Mumbai, Malhotra shared how the upcoming mythological drama, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, is being developed with a global ambition, bringing together high-end tech with cultural roots.

He explained that the team isn’t just dubbing the film into other languages. Instead, they’re using real-time AI to match lip movements to multiple languages, so when audiences watch it in English, Spanish, or Japanese, it looks like the actors are actually speaking those tongues. The idea is to avoid the usual detachment of subtitles or awkward dubbing, and instead make the film feel native to each region.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.
