Ranveer has been hosting his film’s screening for kids since his last release 83 as he wants to spread the joy of watching his clean, family entertainers with as many people as possible. He says, “I’m fortunate to be collaborating with the biggest filmmakers who feel I can be a part of their larger-than-life vision for cinema in India. While I will predominantly look to do such films that unite audiences across the country for a community viewing experience, I will also choose important films like Jayeshbhai Jordaar that satirically talk about patriarchy and toxic masculinity. It does have its heart at the right place and it is a film that had to be made. So, I’m proud to be backing it and hoping that audiences love it too.”

Jayeshbhai Jordaar has released worldwide, only in cinemas, today.

Sudha Chandran to play a double role after 35 years

Actor Sudha Chandran has long been drawn to dual characters and considers herself fortunate to have finally got the opportunity to play one on the popular show Naagin 6. The actor who plays Seema and her mother Tara in the show likes the contrasts between the two roles.

“This is the first time I’ve ever played two characters. It’s quite thrilling, and I’ve always wanted to play two characters. When I saw actors playing dual roles, I wished I could do the same, but I never had the chance. Balaji Telefilms gave me the opportunity after 35-36 years, which I treasured,” she said talking to IANS.

“I’ve always felt that variation is very important; if you watch me in Naagin 6, the character of Tara I play is an adivasi, and I’ve made her seem quite primitive and kept her makeup very dark,” she says of the distinctions she has made between two characters,” she added.

“I do, however, have plaits and a long bindi for Seema’s role, whom I am also playing. It has a beautiful appearance. When I saw myself in the mirror as an actor, I realized how different and distinct these two looks are,” she continued.

When describing the difficulties, she added,”The most challenging component of playing various roles is needing to appear different. Mannerisms must be distinct, especially when within the same frame. The most enjoyable component is seeing yourself in both positions.”

She further revealed how she found out about the double role. “I recall the costume designer sending me an email saying that these are Seema’s mother’s sarees, to which I responded, ‘Perhaps you handed these to me in error, as I am playing Seema.’ She informed me that I am playing two roles, which surprised me because no one had informed me of this information. But I was never worried because I was secure in my ability and prepared,” she elaborated.

Mr. Queen star Kim Jung Hyun to star in Season of Kkok Du; returns to small screen after hiatus amid ex-girlfriend controversy

South Korean actor Kim Jung Hyun, who began a hiatus following a slew of controversies, will soon be making his return to the small screen as the male lead in MBC’s upcoming show Season of Kkok Du.

Every 99 years, the cold and cruel Kkok Du must take a break from his job in the underworld and spend 49 days in the mortal realm and this time, he winds up inhabiting the body of the human Do Jin Woo. While living as Do Jin Woo, he meets Han Gye Jeol, a female doctor who has the mysterious ability to order Kkok Du around.

Kim Jung Hyun, who previously starred in hit drama Mr. Queen, was embroiled in controversy over his private life in July of last year, facing accusations that his relationship with his former girlfriend Seo Ye Ji interfered with his professional matters on the set of his MBC drama series Time. In September of the same year, Kim Jung Hyun issued a statement of apology for his controversy. The actor was later involved in a contract dispute with his previous label, during which he claimed it spread false information about himself. After resolving his contract issues, the actor signed with Story J Company in September of last year.

If Kim Jung Hyun accepts the offer, it will be his first television appearance since his hiatus began in early 2021.
