Vineet Kumar Singh resumes the shooting of Manish Mundra's Siya

Vineet Kumar Singh, who was last seen in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, is back on the sets. The actor has resumed the shooting of his next film titled Siya.

The actor took to Twitter to inform everyone about it. He tweeted, “Back to work #Siya directed by @ManMundra.”


Siya is being directed by Manish Mundra, and this will mark his directorial debut. Earlier, Mundra has produced films like Ankhon Dekhi, Masaan, Dhanak, Newton, Kaamyaab, and others.

Mundra also tweeted a picture from the sets and wrote, “Last two days of shoot left and I complete my first feature film #Siya  What a eventful journey this has been in my life. I thank @vineetkumar_s and #poojapandey for being the soul of the film. Now I know clearly what I am made for….. #film @DrishyamFilms.”

Earlier, Singh and Mundra (producer) have worked together in films like Aadhaar and Tryst With Destiny. The former was slated to release earlier this year but was postponed due to the lockdown. Even Tryst With Destiny is yet to hit the big screens.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
