Actress Radhika Madan is poised to etch her name in history as the pioneering Indian actress to grace the jury of the esteemed Tallinn Film Festival. What adds an extra layer of significance to this milestone is the fact that just last year, Radhika Madan was present at the festival for her film, Sanaa, showcased during the 26th edition of the Black Nights Film Festival. This time around, she returns not as an actress promoting her own work but as a distinguished member of the jury, lending her keen insights and expertise to appraise and celebrate outstanding films from across the globe.

The Black Nights Film Festival, also known as PÖFF (Pimedate Ööde FilmiFestival), is an annual cinematic extravaganza held towards the end of November in the picturesque city of Tallinn, Estonia. It holds an esteemed position as the only FIAPF-accredited competitive feature film festival in Northern Europe. The 27th edition of the Black Nights Film Festival is slated to unfold from November 3rd to 18th, 2023, and it has already started generating excitement within the global film community.

Radhika Madan will join a distinguished panel of jury members, including Nicolas Celis Lopez from Mexico, who serves as the Head of the Jury, along with Ron Fogel from Israel, Diana Ilijane from Germany, and Ran Huang from China. She says, "I'm honoured to be a part of this diverse and talented jury at the Tallinn Film Festival. It's a global celebration of cinema, and I'm excited to contribute my perspective to this incredible panel of judges."

Radhika Madan is all set to broaden her horizons further and continue her upward career trajectory. Her most recent endeavour includes Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video directed by filmmaker Mikhil Musale, while her upcoming projects include the remake of the critically acclaimed Soorarai Pottru. The upcoming flick will also star Akshay Kumar.

Starring Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif, Tiger 3 is set to release on Diwali Day, Sunday, November 12! While fans are excited to see the reunion of Tiger and Zoya, they are equally excited to witness Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan appear in the project. Now, it seems like the third spy Kabir from War, played by Hrithik Roshan, is also set to make a surprise appearance in the third installment of the Tiger franchise.

For unversed, though Salman Khan was the first spy in the YRF Spy Universe, Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan kicked off the interconnection between the said universe. Salman Khan made an extended cameo in the movie as Tiger and the audience was delighted to have the beloved Khans back on the big screen. Now that Pathaan is gearing up to help Tiger in the Maneesh Sharma directorial, Kabir is heading to the franchise. According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source revealed,  “Aditya Chopra has set the wheel in motion for a full convergence of super spies within the YRF Spy Universe. No one knows, but along with Pathaan, Kabir will also be making an appearance in Tiger 3. A handful of people know how Adi is visualizing Kabir in Tiger 3 and this information is being kept under wraps to be only revealed on the big screen when Tiger 3 releases on November 12.”

“Three of India’s biggest superstars – Salman, SRK & Hrithik – are in the same universe and now also the same film. This is definitely a moment to celebrate for all the cine-goers. Kabir’s appearance in Tiger 3 is just the beginning of something special in the future of this universe. At this point in time, no one knows the dynamics of how the three super spies will be presented and if they will be in the same frame or not,” the source added.

Hrithik Roshan is already starring in War 2 which will be helmed by Ayan Mukerji. It also stars Jr. NTR and Kiara Advani. Meanwhile, there is another spy project with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan titled Tiger vs Pathaan to be directed by Siddharth Anand.

The upcoming film Lahore, 1947,  produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, is one of the most anticipated films. Sunny Deol, Rajkumar Santoshi, and Aamir Khan are teaming up for the first time for this film. The announcement of the film piqued the excitement. What makes the announcement even more impressive is that Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan have had very iconic box-office clashes as competitors in the past, where both have eventually emerged victorious.

The first iconic clash at the ticket window was witnessed in 1990 when Aamir Khan’s Dil and Sunny Deol’s Ghayal were released on the same day. Then, in 1996, it was Raja Hindustani vs. Ghatak, followed by the most epic Box Office clash of Indian cinema in 2001, when Lagaan was released on the same day as Gadar. Now, for the very first time, the duo has come together and joined hands on a project.

Recently, on his visit to Koffee With Karan Season 8, Sunny Deol was asked by the host, Karan Johar, to share the moment when he and Aamir decided to collaborate. In reply, Sunny Deol said, "When Aamir Khan came to the success party of Gadar 2, he came to me and said that he wanted to meet me. I surprisingly asked myself what it was all about, and the next day we met, we discussed some ideas and possibilities for cooperation, and after the conclusion, we came to this project, and that's how it happened."

Aamir Khan will take over the charge as producer under Aamir Khan Productions, while director Rajkumar Santoshi will helm the project, and Sunny Deol will be leading the film as the main actor.

Lahore, 1947 marks the reunion of Aamir Khan and Santoshi after their iconic cult classic, Andaz Apna Apna. Moreover, Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol have previously delivered three box office hits together in the form of Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak.

9 days are left for the release of Tiger 3 and the excitement is tremendous. Starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, the film belongs to the much-loved YRF (Yash Raj Films) Spy Universe, a franchise which has become bigger and bigger with each film. With the action entertainer releasing on Diwali, the producers made sure to begin the censor process well in time. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the film, albeit with some modifications.

The good news is that unlike Spy Universe’ previous film, Pathaan (2023), the Examining Committee of the CBFC has asked for only audio cuts and haven’t axed any visual from the film. The CBFC asked the word ‘bewakoof’ to be replaced with ‘mashroof’ and ‘foolish’ with ‘busy’ in the subtitles. In certain dialogues, RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) has been mentioned. The CBFC asked the makers to use the correct abbreviation, that is, R&AW, in these dialogues. Finally, the cut list mentions that ‘the modification with respect to the National Anthem is retained as per request’.

Once these changes were carried out, Tiger 3 was granted a U/A certificate on October 27. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate is 153 minutes. In other words, the run time of Tiger 3 is 2 hours and 33 minutes.

Tiger 3 will release in cinemas on Sunday, November 12. Shah Rukh Khan, who played the lead in Pathaan, features in this film in a special appearance. Interestingly, in Pathaan, it was Tiger (Salman Khan) who came to Pathaan’s rescue. Tiger 3 is directed by Maneesh Sharma.

Besides Tiger 3 and Pathaan, the other films of YRF Spy Universe are Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and War (2019). War starred Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Interestingly, the shoot of War 2, featuring Hrithik and Jr NTR, is underway at present.

Dhanush is a rare actor who did a successful crossover from South cinema to Bollywood before the Baahubali era. He was seen in a couple of interesting Hindi films, which made him a popular name even in the Hindi-speaking markets. Now, he is all set to deliver possibly the biggest Pan-India film of his career.

According to sources, the National Award-winning star is all set to play Isaignani Illaiyaraaja in his biopic. Sources added that the movie will go on floors in 2024 and will release in 2025.

The project is said to be produced by Connekkt Media, which is also producing Mohanlal’s pan-Indian film Vrushabha.

The source said, “A few months back, Yuvan Shankar Raja had said that he would love to see Dhanush play his father Ilaiyaraaja in his biopic and the stars seem to have aligned. This is the first biopic Dhanush will be seen in such an iconic role. The Captain Miller star is one of Ilaiyaraaja’s biggest fans and this role will definitely bag him some prestigious awards.”

We tried connecting Connekkt Media. However, there was no official confirmation of this development till the time of going to print.

Ilaiyaraaja, aged 80, has a record of composing over 7,000 songs in over 1,000 films and also performing in over 20,000 concerts. He began his career in 1976 and has composed songs not just for Tamil movies but also for Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi films and also one English movie. In 2010, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian honour and the Padma Vibhushan in 2018, the second-highest civilian award, by the Government of India.

If you happen to stumble upon an unverified video of Kartik Aaryan supporting Congress candidate Kamal Nath in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, well stop and watch again. In a bizarre turn of events, Kartik Aaryan found himself endorsing a politician, which he did not even know about. A video of the Satyaprem Ki Katha star found its way online wherein he was seen endorsing a Congress election campaign for the state of Madhya Pradesh. The video obviously left his team and fans perplexed. While sources close to the actor asserted that it is a morphed video, Kartik took to social media to share the original video wherein he is seen endorsing an OTT streaming platform.

Soon after the video gained momentum, sources close to the actor were quick to point out the clear use of editing and revealed about the existing ad campaign being morphed and wrongfully used by people for fulfilling their own purpose. The source shared, “There is a morphed version of a Kartik Aaryan ad floating on social media that the actor had done for a streaming platform. The video is misleading and mischievous and is being used to claim political affiliations on behalf of the actor. Kartik has no such affiliations with any political group whatsoever.” The source also added about how the video has been morphed and edited slyly, so as to make it look so, whereas the video was shot and released as a promo for a leading OTT Platform.

Not ending at that, Kartik Aaryn too took to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, and reposted the original advertisement wherein he featured as the brand ambassador for Disney+ Hotstar.

This is the REAL AD @DisneyPlusHS Rest all is Fake ???????? pic.twitter.com/jWPTnbgpIK — Kartik Aaryan (@TheAaryanKartik) October 30, 2023

For the unversed, Kartik featured in a promo video made for a leading OTT Platform around the free availability of the ICC Men's World Cup on mobile phones on the platform, which had released about a month ago. Later, on October 30, the same video surfaced on social media but with a dubbed audio, and morphed video wherein it looked like Kartik is endorsing the political party for the upcoming elections in Madhya Pradesh. The video was shared by an unverified handle of a Congress party man.

Priyanka Chopra arrived in India over the weekend for the opening ceremony of the Jio MAMI Film Festival 2023. On Sunday, she was a part of a masterclass alongside Bhumi Pednekar where she talked about auditioning for movie parts. She said that she has no qualms in auditioning but there have been fights where she had to ‘fight and audition for them’.

While she did not name the project, Priyanka Chopra said that she once liked a script and had to tell her agents to call up the filmmakers for her to audition. She did three auditions for the film and it started with her meeting the filmmakers. As reported by Etimes, she said, “There are times where a movie which I pursue, there are different scenarios. When a script has come to me for my consideration, I will read it for just my character first and to see if the story is interesting. If it is hard to read the script, even if your character is amazing, then I sit with the filmmakers on why it was a hard read. Every wall you hit, you have to solve that first.”

She added, “There was a particular film that I read about and I really wanted to be a part of. I got my agents to call the filmmakers and offer myself to audition for the movie. I had to do 3 auditions, first was a meeting with the filmmakers, second he came over to my house and did a reading and then the third time we went to the studio and I got the part.”

Priyanka added that her pride does not stand in between her dreams. She said that ego is ‘the end of everything’. She said, “I am not afraid of pursuing my dreams and my pride doesn't stand in front of my dreams ever. If you want something, don't let your pride stand in front of you. Ego is the end of everything, hard work, humility and persistence is all you need to be successful in any field. Come from a place of no pride, come from a team, wanting to help others rise instead of wanting to pull others down. Because you are insecure about something and in that feeling, we pull others down. Try to be a leader in your field and you don't have to be on top of your game for that. You have to be an everyday leader, in smaller environments, for your family, for your colleagues. The world needs everyday leaders and that requires having humility, persistence and a sense of hard work.”

On the work front, Priyanka Chopra was last seen in Citadel season 1 on Prime Video, which has been renewed for season 2 and Love Again movie. She has signed an action thriller Heads of State starring John Cena and Idris Elba.

The world premiere of Vikramaditya Motwane’s powerful documentary, Indi(r)a’s Emergency, was held at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2023 on Saturday, October 28 in Mumbai. A Q-and-A session was held after the screening which was attended by Vikramaditya Motwane and producer Sameer Nair. Anurag Kashyap also joined in to talk a bit about the film and later passed on the microphone to members of the audience who wanted to ask a question! The session was moderated by Varun Grover.

Varun asked Vikramaditya why he chose to make a documentary on the Emergency declared by Indira Gandhi and not a feature. The filmmaker hinted at Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Emergency, based on the same subject, as he said, “The feature film is being made by somebody else!”

He added, “Samir Patil (of Scroll) approached me. I am a history buff. I studied history in college. This was supposed to be a series of 3 episodes.” He continued, “We realized that this was a great way to tell our recent history to an entire audience that has some idea but not a complete idea.”

Unlike documentaries that have interviews, Indi(r)a’s Emergency stands out. Vikramaditya Motwane explained, “I was clear that I didn’t want to do a typical documentary, with intervals et al. We decided to go with archival footage. We managed to find incredible footage from Getty, Pathe etc. Thankfully, Mr Sameer Nair stepped in and saw the rough cut. He decided to come on board.”

Anurag Kashyap pitched in, “I saw the three-hour version and was blown away by it. I told Motwane, ‘You have the b***s to make it’ and then you (pointing to Sameer Nair) have bigger b***s to rescue it. Hence, compliments to both of you (laughs)!”

Sameer Nair talked about when this film can be seen by more people. He began by saying, “We are submitting for censor as well.” As expected, the audience broke into laughter because the film also talks about censorship.

Sameer, on a serious note, added, “We would like to have a version that we can release theatrically as well. It’s important to tell us stories like this. And the way it’s done with the footage, animation, voiceover and writing, it is entertaining.”

Anurag Kashyap remarked, “It is entertaining and it’s also very powerful. It says a lot more than just the Emergency.”

Vikramaditya Motwane honestly admitted that his other project took priority over Indi(r)a’s Emergency and hence, the documentary took a while to be out. He didn’t name this project but he was probably referring to his acclaimed Amazon Prime Video show, Jubilee. He said, “We started working on it in early 2020. Sameer came on board in late 2021. Meanwhile, I shot something else and came back. In a way, it was like my step-child!”

Kangana Ranaut returned to theatres post the not-so-successful Chandramukhi 2 which featured her alongside Raghava Lawrence. While the film attempted to revive the blockbuster franchise which originally featured South stalwarts like Rajinikanth, Jyothika, Nayanthara, and Prabhu, failed to live up to the kind of blockbuster created by the 2005 film, the actress has now returned to theatres with another venture, Tejas. Although Tejas is a Bollywood film, it aims at touching the patriotic emotions within since it features Kangana in the role of an air force officer.

However, despite a massive fan following on social media, Kangana Ranaut has been unable to withstand the box office pressure and her recent release led to a disastrous start at the box office. This has not gone down well with the actress and although she often blames the ‘movie mafia’ for the failure of her movies, this time around Kangana has called this to be the ‘post COVID effect’.

Kangana Ranaut has taken to social media to share a video dedicating it to her fans and pleading them to go to theatres and watch the film. “Even before Covid, theatrical footfalls were dipping drastically, and post Covid it has become seriously rapid. Many theatres are shutting down and even after free tickets and many reasonable offers, drastic footfall decline is continuing. Requesting people to watch films in theatres and enjoy them with family and friends or else they (theatres) won’t be able to survive. Thanks (sic)."

Interestingly, the recent releases in Bollywood which includes films like Satyaprem Ki Katha, Jawan, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, among others have tasted massive success at the box office as stars have revealed about how Bollywood reemerged post the COVID effect.

Tejas is directed by Sarvesh Mewara and the film released on October 27.

I felt so happy for you and I felt so alone yet. I hope this manifests into, I hope I have a story to tell. The happiness and joy I saw, and I know it’s not easy,” he added. The video, officially shared by The Wedding Filmer after the episode, begins with Ranveer Singh who gives the toast post his wedding to Deepika as he jokes that he once declared he would marry Deepika Padukone and the day had finally come.

The first episode couldn’t get any better as star-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh come together for the first time ever on the Koffee couch, spilling the beans on their marriage, proposal and more. On Koffee with Karan’s infamous couch, Ranveer Singh shared his experience of meeting his real-life heroine and how he convinced Sanjay Leela Bhansali to cast Deepika in Ram Leela after Kareena Kapoor Khan had exited due to some unforeseen circumstances.

“Ram-Leela was supposed to happen with myself and Kareena Kapoor in the lead. The set was ready. One week before roll, for some reason, Kareena had to exit the film,” Ranveer told Karan on the premiere episode.

He suggested Deepika's name as he had just watched Cocktail. “Then we were sitting and wondering who to cast. And Cocktail had just happened (released). So there was a discussion with Mr Bhansali, all the ADs and myself in the office, about who should we take. And I was batting for team Deepika, because I just saw Cocktail, and she got cast,” he said.

Talking about the script reading session and how he met Deepika, he recalled,  “There was a famous or infamous reading for Ram Leela at Mr. Bhansali’s house in Versova. I was supposed to meet him before Deepika’s arrival. So I was sitting on the table and the door was on my left. He has these heavy doors and he lives by the seaside. So, these heavy doors open and the gush of wind comes from the sea. There, Deepika enters wearing this white chikankari, hair blowing due to the sea wind just like some sadgi ki moorat. I was like Oh My God!” ALSO READ: Koffee With Karan 8: Ranveer Singh recalls meeting Deepika Padukone for Ram Leela for script reading at Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s house: “I was like OH MY GOD!”

Deepika Padukone has always been open about her journey with mental health, her depression, her struggle to understand her symptoms, and eventually starting therapy and medications. She eventually also started her foundation for the same. The first episode of Koffee With Karan 8 saw the star-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh who came together for the first time ever on the Koffee couch, spilling the beans on their marriage, proposal and more. On this episode of KWK, Karan Johar also opened up about his mental health struggle and asked about hers. While Deepika said that Ranveer has been a strong support throughout the journey, the actor recalled how he once rushed home when Deepika had a blackout in 2014.

Recalling an incident in 2014, Ranveer said that Deepika had called whilst he was shooting and said, "I've had a blackout, and I've had a fall. Can you come home?" Ranveer, without hesitation, left the set immediately to be by her side. Describing what he saw when he reached home, he said, "When I went and saw her, there wasn't something right. She was with you, she was looking at you, but she wasn't all there."

Ranveer recalled having breakfast one day with her and how Deepika broke down in tears. He revealed, “One day at breakfast she was sitting across me and she was just crying and there were just tears. Copious tears were flowing down.” When he asked DP what happened, she didn’t know what to say to him. “She’s like ‘I don’t know’. I got up and went to her and I was like tell me. The reason I remember that vividly is because it was that moment where I felt completely helpless.”

Deepika said that it has been a journey and that she is still on medication and there are tough days too. “It’s work every day.” She added Ranveer Singh created a safe space for her and said, “It told me a lot about the person that he is.” ALSO READ: Koffee With Karan 8: Karan Johar TEARS UP after watching Deepika Padukone - Ranveer Singh's wedding video: "I am not in a relationship..."

The beloved couch is back with Karan Johar as Hotstar Specials’ Koffee with Karan returns for season 8. The first episode couldn’t get any better as star-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh come together for the first time ever on the Koffee couch, spilling the beans on their marriage, proposal and more. For the very first time, Deepika and Ranveer unveiled the glimpses from their 2018 wedding in Lake Como in Italy. While the couple had a private wedding, an intimate affair with very close family and friends in attendance, for the first time in almost five years since their wedding, the couple shared video glimpses from their beautiful ceremonies.

The video, officially shared by The Wedding Filmer after the Koffee With Karan 8 episode, begins with Ranveer Singh who gives the toast post his wedding to Deepika as he jokes that he once declared he would marry Deepika Padukone and the day had finally come. From their magical mehendi and haldi ceremonies, glimpses of Ranveer dancing as both their families are seen enjoying, Ranveer fixing Deepika’s make-up, declaring his love for her, both their parents talking about Ranveer and Deepika's love story, and sharing emotional moments, the video is full of heartwarming moments.

The wedding video was shot by The Wedding Filmer, who captured the wedding sequence in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. “During the filming of “Kabira” for Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, I had the honor of directing her. On a crisp evening, amidst rounds of Pictionary by the poolside with the crew, she leaned in and said softly, “When the time comes for my wedding, I’d be honoured if you would be the one to capture it.” I was taken aback, a blush creeping up unnoticed. She held onto that sentiment, gently reminding me of that whispered promise during her wedding film’s screening years later,” the team captioned the video. “Set against the stunning backdrop of Como, The Wedding Filmer had the distinct honour of encapsulating the magical union between Bollywood’s icons, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. It wasn’t just about documenting their wedding day, but rather weaving a tale of love, trust, and commitment. Some stories are so close to the heart that they’re held close, and perhaps they wanted this narrative to be theirs alone for a time. As we mark our 13th year in building an industry, releasing this film stands as a testament to our journey and growth. Premiering on the esteemed platform of ‘Koffee with Karan’, it’s not merely a film, but a milestone in our storied legacy,” they added. In November 2023, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh will complete five years of marriage.

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor may not be on social media officially but he often interacts with his fans. The actor recently held a Zoom call conversation with a bunch of his fans where he talked on several topics including being a father. The actor along with his actress-wife Alia Bhatt welcomed their first child Raha in November, last year. Ranbir said that he is getting a lot of time with Raha now as Alia is busy shooting for Jigra.

In a conversation with his fans over a Zoom call, Ranbir revealed that he hasn’t signed any project since the wrap of Animal as he is spending time with his daughter. He said, “Life is great. I have taken a long break. I am going to be home only. I will be home for five-six months. This was always my plan because when Raha was born, I was shooting for Animal, and I couldn’t give her time. I wanted to take a paternity leave, and I got it at the right time because she is so expressive now. She is crawling. She is recognising. She is giving so much love, and she is trying to speak words like Pa and Ma. It’s a beautiful time to be around her, and I am going to cherish this forever.”

He added, “Alia is busy with the shooting for Vasan Bala’s Jigra, and that means I get Raha all for myself. Raha is going to turn one soon, and we will have a small birthday party with friends and family. Looking forward to that.”

Filmmaker Karan Johar and superstar Shah Rukh Khan have been friends for decades. Karan addresses SRK as 'Bhai' and has worked with him on several projects. In a recent conversation, Karan opened up about his sexuality and how SRK helped him come to terms with it.

On the show Be A Man Yaar, Karan Johar said, "He was born and raised in a very progressive environment. He comes from the theatre. He had worked with all kinds of people. My parents, perhaps, weren't able to understand things. My feminine side that was coming out so strongly was only met with laughter or with being made fun of. And then when I grew a little older, people got quieter about it. But I could tell whether there was a slight chitter-chatter about the way I was walking or speaking. I remember Shah Rukh Khan was the first, kind of like, man that didn't make me feel lesser for some reason. I feel like he accepted what in those days were considered being pansy, being effeminate or walking funny. He was just so cool about anything. He even had a lot of open chats with me. Whenever I had to say the biggest thing about my personality and sexuality, I spoke to him first. He was that one sense of support. Even he doesn't realise what he's been to me."

"It's what he didn't say. It's what he didn't bring up. It's what he normalised, that I sat funny or walked funny. Whenever I said campy things, he laughed. He would hang out with me, laugh with me. It isn't what he said, it's what he didn't say. It's all that matters," Karan added.

Meanwhile, Karan Johar last directed Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly among others. ALSO READ: SCOOP: Sunny Deol to return on Karan Johar’s Koffee with Karan after nearly 20 years

Sunny Leone is one of the most recognized faces in the world. After being an adult entertainer, she moved to India to be a contestant on Bigg Boss. Soon enough, she grabbed her Bollywood debut in the form of Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2 (2014), which also starred Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh. There was no looking behind from here on as long as her popularity is concerned.

But not many would know that Sunny Leone’s real name is Karenjit Kaur Vohra and there is a story on how she became Sunny Leone. She hails from Punjab, India, from where her father migrated to Canada. Her life went through a change after she became a model. She shared her life story in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan India Magazine.

Sunny said, “I’ve previously mentioned that my academic journey was far from stellar, and while enrolling in college was a necessary step, it wasn’t one I completed. During my time on campus, a chance encounter with a fellow student introduced me to a modelling agent, and it was as if a switch had been flipped within me.”

The actress added, “In that moment, I realised that modelling was a business, and if I approached it intelligently – steering clear of its darker aspects – I could truly thrive. I understood that my success of failure rested solely on my shoulders. And so, the persona of Sunny Leone was born.”

On the work front, Sunny will next be seen in Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy. The crime-cum-political drama will see her cast opposite Rahul Bhat.

Sanya’s international conquer begins here! Grateful to Baweja Studios, and Jio Studios for this opportunity. Thank you Harman Baweja. Grateful to the wonderful cast and crew whose immense hardwork and dedication made this happen. More details coming soon.”

The synopsis of the film on the POFF website reads, “The exotically delicious film guides us through Indian cuisine, but layer by layer reveals the unfortunate role of women who only cook, clean, and submit to sex-addicted hubbies. Dance teacher Richa has an instant connection to the wealthy doctor Diwakar but soon finds herself in an overcooked and tasteless happily ever after laced with misogyny, arrogance, and stubbornness. The kitchen has the solution to all problems. So, Richa cooks splendid dishes with love and dedication and refuses to yield to male dominance.”

Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pammi Baweja, and Harman Baweja, the film stars Sanya Malhotra, Nishant Dahiya, and Kanwaljit Singh.
