Yami Gautam to star in a film titled A Thursday

Yami Gautam is on a roll. Last year, she starred in two blockbuster films like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Bala, and soon we will get to see her in Ginny Weds Sunny which is slated to release on Netflix.

It was just yesterday when the makers of Bhoot Police announced that Yami and Jacqueline Fernandez have joined the cast of the movie. And today, one more film starring Yami has been announced.


The actress will be seen in a movie titled A Thursday. The film will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Premnath Rajagopalan, and it will be directed by Behzad Khambata.

Khambata took to Instagram to make an announcement about the film. He posted, More than the weekend, this time, waiting for #AThursday. Starring @yamigautam, the film will be a direct to digital release. @rsvpmovies #ronniescrewvala @premnathrajagopalan @bluemonkey_film @pashanjal @alobo2112 @mabelrajagopalan @shivahereon #fridayswithrsvp.”

It is a psychological thriller and Yami will be seen playing the role of a playschool teacher who on a Thursday takes 16 children hostage.

While talking to Mid-day, Yami stated, "A Thursday is one of those rare scripts that you just cannot put down. Behzad has written one of the strongest characters for a female protagonist; Naina is both, fierce and endearing.”

The makers are eyeing a digital release for the film next year.

Union claims ‘brazen retaliation’

Rockstar Games is facing allegations of union busting after reportedly dismissing dozens of staff believed to have been involved in a private workplace-organising chat. According to a Bloomberg report, between 30 and 40 employees across the UK and Canada were let go on 30 October, all linked to a Discord group used to discuss union issues.

The Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB) union said some of those affected were members, while others were attempting to organise. In a post on Bluesky, IWGB called the move “the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry”, saying it would fight for the workers to be reinstated.
