It was Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh cross-over in Mumbai as Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor met with Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda to discuss his upcoming film ‘Family Star’. Shahid gave a peck to Vijay as he thanked him for setting the stage for ‘Kabir Singh’.
Shahid said, “I want to thank Vijay, kyunki tu nahi hota toh ‘Arjun Reddy’ nahi hoti aur ‘Arjun Reddy’ nahi hota toh ‘Kabir Singh’ nahi hoti, I love you Vijay.”
Shahid asked Vijay how he became a part of ‘Family Star’ to which Vijay said, “Vijay responds” sparking laughter as he read directly from the teleprompter which had been goofing up for the better part of the day.
However, he later said that he read the script, got intrigued and said yes to the film.

A tale of magical realism slowly stripped of its magic, Raam Reddy’s gorgeously photographed, politically subversive “The Fable” trades in idyllic memories, but reveals their hidden dimensions. Set in 1989, on a lush Himalayan orchard in northeastern India, Reddy’s second feature follows a family of four, whose patriarch runs the once-colonial estate with the help of local villagers in his employ. Everything seems pristine and picture perfect until the sudden discovery of a single burnt apple blossom tree, followed by more mysteriously torched bushes the following day, leading to fears and suspicions that trickle downhill.
The film’s unbroken opening shot goes quickly from unassuming to striking. It follows estate owner Dev (Manoj Bajpayee) along his morning routine, through his house with his wife Nandini (Priyanka Bose), his precocious son Juju (Awan Pookot) and his lively dogs. The camera then tracks him to a workshop outside, where Dev straps...

New BAFTA chair Sara Putt has reflected upon the events of the past weekend in her first letter to members.
While not addressing Russell Brand – about whom allegations of rape and sexual assault emerged over the weekend – by name, Putt wrote: “This weekend’s news has again raised serious questions about the culture of the screen industries and what still needs to change. BAFTA is supportive of the creation of Ciisa, an independent standards authority for those working in the creative industries and I encourage you to find out more about their plans. As a reminder, it is now mandatory for U.K. productions to have a bullying and harassment policy in order to enter our film, games and television Awards, building on principles and guidance on the prevention of bullying and harassment in the workplace as set out here.”
Putt also addressed the ongoing Hollywood strikes, writing: “Harnessing the talents of our global membership,...
