BREAKING: Kareena Kapoor-starrer The Buckingham Murders to be the opening film at Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival

The Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival (October 27 to November 5) is excited to announce that this year’s Opening Night film will be The Buckingham Murders, directed by Hansal Mehta, produced by Ektaa R Kapoor, and co-produced by Indian actress and star Kareena Kapoor Khan, who will all attend the film’s red carpet event. It will receive its International Premiere on Friday, October 27 at the NMACC (Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre), following a successful World Premiere at the 67th BFI London Film Festival.

Director Hansal Mehta’s moody procedural is an exploration of grief and our longing for closure, and captures the human cost of our polarised times, featuring a career-best performance by Khan. The story follows cop and single mother Jasmeet Bhamra (Kareena Kapoor Khan), who recently lost her child in a shooting spree, as she transfers to a market town north of London and is assigned the case of a missing child.

Anupama Chopra, Festival Director at Jio MAMI, said, "Hansal Mehta and Ektaa Kapoor have redefined storytelling across formats. In The Buckingham Murders, they join hands with another formidable artist - Kareena. We are delighted to announce The Buckingham Murders as the opening film at Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.”

Director Hansal Mehta expresses, “The Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival has been home to me ever since my rebirth as a filmmaker with Shahid (2013). Coming back here with The Buckingham Murders as the opening film is indeed a proud moment for me personally. It's the story of South Asian communities settled outside India, and it is heartening to see the world take notice of the kind of cinema we are now capable of producing in India. This movie is our labour of love. It’s a thriller, but at the heart of it is a human story about people we may know. Our biggest superpower is our inherent storytelling abilities, and those combined with stellar performances from our extremely talented actors and cutting-edge technology make the South Asian film industry a force to be reckoned with.”

Commenting on her film opening at Jio MAMI, Kareena Kapoor Khan said, “It's an honour for me as an actor and first-time co-producer that my film will open the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. It's a place where movies are celebrated, and all creative art forms are honoured. I can’t be happier to have our film grace the stage at Jio MAMI. The Buckingham Murders is very special for me since it's my maiden voyage as a co-producer. Working with Hansal and Ektaa is a deeply satisfying and immersive process. We are only hoping our film will reach wider audiences and break barriers globally”.

Ektaa Kapoor, producer, adds, “I couldn't be more thrilled and honoured that The Buckingham Murders graced the prestigious stage of the London Film Festival, and has now gone on to become the Opening Film at Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival! It's a truly exhilarating moment for our film and for everyone who poured their heart and soul into making it a reality. These platforms represent a confluence of the best in cinema from around the world, and it's immensely gratifying to see our work recognized on this global stage. My collaboration with Hansal and Kareena is special, and seeing our work recognized and appreciated at such prestigious festivals is not only a validation of our creative efforts but also a testament to the power of storytelling in bridging cultures and connecting people."

Hansal Mehta will be joined by Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ektaa R Kapoor at the film’s international premiere on Friday, October 27, at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.

Besides Kareena Kapoor Khan, it also stars Ash Tandon (of Bodyguard fame), Ranveer Brar (MasterChef India), and Keith Allen (Kingsman: The Golden Circle). It is directed by Hansal Mehta and written by Aseem Arrora, Kashyap Kapoor, and Raghav Raj Kakker. The film is produced by Balaji Telefilms and TBM Films alongside Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The international sales will be handled by Madhu Entertainment.

Kirti Kulhari to make her international feature debut with Sach is Life

Actor Kirti Kulhari is set to go international with her latest feature Sach is Life. The slice-of-life film, based on the extraordinary true events of an Indian immigrant family based out of the US, will mark Kirti's international debut. Written and directed by Harsh Mahadeshwar, Sach is Life is based on the original life story of the Munshi family. The film is produced by Romila Saraf Bhat, Rahul Bhat, Red Bison Productions located in Princeton, New Jersey.

According to the makers, Sach is Life narrates the compelling tale of a devoted couple who remain united in their determination to provide their three-year-old son, diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a life that he deserves. Kirti Kulhari, who plays the role of the mother, Daisy Munshi, said she is thrilled to star in the film and feels special that Sach is Life marks her international debut.

The actor—known for her powerful performances in projects like Four More Shots Please!, Criminal Justice, Pink and Human—said Sach is Life chronicles a story of rising above one's circumstances to unleash the "power of unconditional love, celebrate human spirit and to always hold on to that little thing called hope".

"The makers are from the US but it's an Indian story. I'm extremely excited to collaborate with a crew from the US and to work in an environment outside of India. I'll do my best to make it a film that we all are going to be proud of," Kirti said in a statement.

Sach is Life is gearing to go on floors next year around April. The film will be shot in Kashmir, New Delhi, New Orleans, New Jersey and New York. Kirti said she's currently in New York and has been prepping for the film for the last two to three months.

"I was in Houston, Texas in August where my writer-director lives. We met up a few times. We started going through the script scene by scene, totally going into the depths of every scene and getting to know the characters and the tone of the film."

Before Sach is Life goes on floors, Kirti said the plan is to "extensively workshop" and relentlessly work on the script, to bring the inspiring story to life. As part of the prep, she is also scheduled to meet Daisy Munshi, whose character she is set to portray.

"This is also the first time I am playing a real-life character. The family lives in Albany. We are meeting the whole family, especially Daisy ji whose character I am playing and her son, Sachin Munshi. That's a big part of the prep that I am really looking forward to. I think it will give me a lot of understanding of her story.

"I will also get to understand her personality, just by observing her, her mannerisms. It's a very challenging, tough, intense role and I know that the only way I can do this is by going all in," she added.

Sach is Life also co-stars actor Jim Sarbh. Further details about the film are awaited.

It will be very different, it’s not going to be what anybody expects. I didn’t want to do it until I knew that it would be better than the first one and I knew that it was going to be hard because Veere Di Wedding is my everything.” However, the producer is yet to give a confirmation on the casting. “It’s such an important film for me. I love that film and very attached to it. I didn’t want to do it if I didn’t get the same amount of joy I did from making the first one. So, yes, Veere Di Wedding 2 is in the works,” she added.

Although she didn’t reveal any details about the return of the cast in the Veere Di Wedding sequel, in the same interaction, Rhea Kapoor also asserted about reuniting with Sonam Kapoor Ahuja for an upcoming film.

Madhura Naik informs about ‘300 family members’ stuck in Israel; responds to hate she received on social media

The situation in Israel is quite sensitive and the sudden attack of the Hamas terrorist group has taken lives of many innocents. Among them was also Madhura Naik’s family members. The Naagin actress had taken to social media to pass on the message of supporting Israel, after her sister and brother-in-law along with their kids were shot dead in their car during the attacks. In a recent interaction, the popular television star also revealed that about 300 of her family members are stuck there.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the bereaved actress opened up about the Israel attacks and revealed about the bodies of her family members were found after they were reported missing. "My family informed me about them missing, and only after 24 hours were their bodies identified. Their children in the car along with them, were taken back by the officers on duty," says the grieving actress.

For the unversed, Madhura Naik is born to a Hindu father and Israeli mother. She further went on to react to the kind of hatred she received after sharing a video of asking everyone to support Israel in these tough times, and added, "The situation unfortunately has always been like this in Israel, we have always faced a lot of such situations. My family is worried about how things are going to escalate. I felt it is necessary to talk about it in my social media post. I cannot reveal where I am right now, due to security reasons, neither can I tell you which members are stuck in Israel. I have just been getting a lot of communal hate after my post, and it is shocking that people are failing to empathise with innocent lives. They fail to understand that it is the innocent civilians who die. This is a terror attack, same like what happened in Mumbai, 26/11.”

She concluded by adding that she is currently keeping everything including her current residence confidential owing to security reasons.

SCOOP: Sidharth Malhotra to create HISTORY; his web series Indian Police Force to release on December 8, the same day as his film Yodha

Bollywood Hungama yesterday reported that the much-awaited web series, Indian Police Force, will not make it on Diwali 2023. The decision was taken by Amazon Prime Video to push the release due to the release of Tiger 3 on the Festival of Lights. Also, the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will be going on, which will surely be a huge talking point on the internet, especially since it’ll be in its last leg.

Aamir Khan says son Junaid Khan to turn producer with Pritam Pyaare, superstar to have special appearance; reveals his son was an introvert as a child

Aamir Khan has been a name synonymous with Indian cinema for a long time, but with his most recent interview, he stole the spotlight not as the unparalleled actor he is but as a father, as the superstar opened up on his experience with fatherhood at a conclave with a news channel. During the interview, the actor also opened up about his eldest child, Junaid Khan who is all set to make his own debut in Bollywood. But, before his acting debut, Junaid Khan will turn producer with Pritam Pyaare in which Aamir will have a special appearance.

Speaking to News 18, Aamir Khan said, "Junaid is now entering Bollywood as a producer like my father. With a new director and new team, I am happy with his work. I am doing a cameo in his movie for 5 minutes."

Talking about Junaid Khan’s interest in theatre and being an introverted, shy child, Aamir shared, “He is very interested in theatre. Junaid ke baare mein, main aapko bataun toh woh bahut he zaheen hai. Class mein joh bacha first aata hai na, joh bhi subject pucho toh har cheez ka jawab aata hai, uss type ka bacha hai, Junaid. Lekin jab woh bada ho raha tha, 10th mein aaya toh Reena aur main kaafi concerned aur pareshan the ki woh academics mein, padhai-likhai mein bahut tez tha, har subject mein, lekin woh logo se baat-cheet karne mein bohot sharmata that [About Junaid, what can I say? Let me tell you that he is very intelligent. Junaid was the first person in the class to answer whatever subject he was asked. But when he was growing up, when he was in 10th, Reena and I were very concerned and worried that he was very good in academics, in studies, in every subject, but he was very shy in talking to people].”

Talking about how Junaid wants to be a self-made person, Aamir adds, “Actually he is very introverted, Junaid joh hai, aapne shayad uski photo bhi nahi dekhi hogi. Bahut saare log bolte hain ki humne aapke bete ka chehra hi nahi dekha. He is very shy, woh jyada bahar nahi jata, woh alag kisam ka banda hai. Jaise ke abhi woh 30 saal ka hai, aur matlab bachpan se jaise har parents chahate hain ki woh apne baccho ke liye behtar se behtar cheez karein, toh main chaha raha tha ki main uske liye jab woh school jaye, kahin bhi ghumne jaaye toh main gaadi le loon and aaj tak usne mujhko allow nahi kiya gaadi lene ke liye. Woh aaj tak public transport use karta hai, bus mein jata hai, train mein jata hai. Abhi 2-3 mahine pehle woh, Pondicherry mein tha; usne kaha, 'Papa main jaa raha hoon Bangalore mere dost ki shaadi hai'. Toh I said, 'Flight kitne baje ki hai?' And he said, 'Nahi, main overnight bus mein jaa raha hoon, state bus mein.' Toh uska totally, apna apna khud ka andaaz hai. He is a very independent person, he likes to live life in his own way and I am very proud of him because he wants to be a self-made person. Toh woh khud apne aap har cheez karta hai, woh theatre karta hai, pichle chaar paanch saal se [Actually he is very introverted. You might not have even seen his photo. Many people have said that we have not seen your son's face. He is very shy, he doesn't show much, he is a different kind of person. Now he is 30 years old, and every parent since childhood wants to do the best for their children, so I wanted to be there for him when he went to school, wherever he went. I wanted to buy him a car and till today he has not allowed me to purchase him the car. Till today he uses public transport, travels by bus, travels by train. He was in Pondicherry 2-3 months ago; He said, 'Papa, I am going to Bangalore because it is my friend's wedding.' So I said, 'What time is the flight?' And he said, 'No, I am travelling in the main overnight bus, but in the state bus.' So that's totally his own style. He is a very independent person, he likes to live life in his own way and I am very proud of him because he wants to be a self-made person. So he himself does his own thing, he does theatre, since last four-five years].”

When asked by the anchor as to how he does theatre as an introvert, Aamir clarifies, “Introvert hai, creative hai, lekin matlab woh party-warty mein nahi jata. Kaam mein introvert nahi hai, kaam mein ek dam josh, kaam karta hai, lekin jyada bahar nahi jata. But something happened in his life actually, which changed him and this is a very odd thing, bahut chhoti cheez bhi hai,  Jab college usne join kiya 11th mein toh, bade achhe marks laye the, top college mein gaya lekin, mujhe phikar thi issi baat ki. Lekin ek hafte mein, maine dekha ki uska behaviour change ho raha hai dheere dheere, aur maine pucha ki kya hua toh usne ek club join kiya tha, ‘Rotaract Club’, jaise Rotary club hota hai na, waise Rotaract club join kiya usne. Aur uss Rotaract club join karne ke baad, usme itne activities hote hain, social cheeze organise karte hein bacche, college ke events organise karte hein, 365 din mein kuch unke 400 events hote hain, woh ek saal mein maine usme badlav dekha. I think that meeting children his age, interacting with them, and working on the streets with everyone, really made him confident and that is a big change in him. Toh woh itna introvert tha ki mujhe takleef hoti thi, lekin ab mujhe lagta hai ki woh sahi ho gaya, usne film produce kar li toh ab toh tension hi nahi hai [He is an introvert, he is creative, but that means he does not go to parties, he is not an introvert in his work. He has enthusiasm for his work. But something happened in his life actually, which changed him and this is a very odd thing. He went to college in 11th grade. But within a week, I noticed that his behaviour was gradually changing, and I asked him what had happened so he had joined a club, ‘Rotaract Club’, just like Rotary club is, so he had joined Rotaract Club. After joining our Rotaract club, they were doing so many activities, organizing social things for children, organizing college events. They had about 400 events in 365 days, that is the change I have seen in a change in him in a year. I think that meeting children his age, interacting with them, and working on the streets with everyone, really made him confident and that is a big change in him. Then he was so introverted that it used to bother me, but now I feel that he has done the right thing. He has produced a film and now there is no tension].”

Before stepping into the world of cinema, Junaid Khan dedicated six years to the world of theatre. His journey began in August 2017 with director Quasar Thakore Padamsee’s adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Mother Courage and Her Children,’ a biting satire on the absurdity of war. This marked the beginning of a passionate pursuit of the craft of acting.

On the work front, Junaid’s debut Maharaj is an untitled love story set in the enchanting Japanese winters, with Sai Pallavi. ALSO READ: Aamir Khan confirms daughter Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare are getting married on January 3, 2024: “I’m going to cry a lot that day”

AAP MP Raghav Chadha, husband of Parineeti Chopra, moves Delhi HC against bungalow eviction order 

Two weeks after tying the knot with Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha moved to the Delhi High Court against an order of a court in the national capital that evicted him from his Type VII bungalow.

Chadha's plea was mentioned before the bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula. "MP has been served for eviction of house. We have an apprehension that the proceedings might start. We had a stay in trial court," Chadha's counsel said.

Chadha was given a Type 6 bungalow in July last year and had requested the Rajya Sabha Chairman for a bigger, Type 7 accommodation, which was allotted to him in September that year. He was then allotted another bungalow on Pandara Road from the Rajya Sabha pool. However, in March this year, the allotment was cancelled.

As a first-time MP, Chadha is entitled to a Type-5 accommodation in the normal course, according to the Rajya Sabha Members Handbook released in April 2022. The handbook says MPs who are former Union Cabinet Ministers, former Governors or former Chief Ministers and former Lok Sabha Speakers, are entitled to Type-7 bungalows, the second largest category available to Rajya Sabha MPs.

It is unclear why Chadha's allotment was cancelled in March this year. The Rajya Sabha secretariat has not yet issued a statement on the matter.

Zareen Khan wins legal battle, Kolkata Magistrate cancels warrant

In a recent turn of events, Bollywood actress Zareen Khan has been exonerated from an arrest warrant that had been issued against her by a Kolkata court in connection with an alleged cheating case dating back to 2018. The arrest warrant, initially sparked by what is now termed “fraudulent and misleading statements” made by the Investigating Officer, has been swiftly revoked by the Magistrate upon uncovering the “true and correct facts” of the case.

Additionally, the Hon’ble High Court of Kolkata has intervened, issuing an interim order that aligns with Zareen Khan's stance, effectively putting an end to the wrongful warrant and upholding the principles of justice. Zareen Khan, a prominent figure in the Bollywood industry, remains resolute in her commitment to her craft, as this favourable verdict attests.

To provide some context, the arrest warrant stemmed from an alleged cheating case dating back to 2018. The investigating officer had submitted a charge sheet against Zareen Khan before the Sealdah court in Kolkata. During this period, Zareen neither sought bail nor appeared before the court, resulting in the issuance of the arrest warrant due to her repeated absence.

Addressing the situation, Zareen Khan expressed her disbelief and assured that there is no truth to the allegations. She stated to India Today, “I’m sure there is no truth to this. I’m surprised too and am checking with my lawyer. Only then will I be able to give you some clarity? In the meantime, you can speak to my PR.”

The alleged cheating incident from 2018 revolved around Zareen Khan's scheduled performance during a Durga Puja function in Kolkata. Her non-appearance led to an organizer filing a written complaint of cheating against her and her manager. An FIR was subsequently registered against both individuals. Zareen Khan defended herself by claiming that she had been misled by the organizers, who had falsely represented the event as a high-profile gathering attended by ministers, including the Chief Minister of Bengal. She cited miscommunications regarding flight tickets and accommodations as reasons for her non-participation in the event.

Sony TV DENIES “Fabricated” KBC video on Shivraj Singh Chouhan; calls it “Misleading”

A video has been doing the rounds on social media, in which host Amitabh Bachchan is seen asking a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), "Which of these chief ministers is called an announcement minister because of their fake announcements?"

We strongly condemn such misinformation, urge our audience to be vigilant, and refrain from sharing unverified content."

Saathiya director Shaad Ali takes legal action over alleged script theft: Report

Filmmaker Shaad Ali has taken legal action in a Mumbai court following the alleged theft of his script by two former associates, as per reports. Ali has called on the court to direct the police to file a case against the two individuals involved. In his formal complaint, Ali has asserted that these ex-colleagues falsely registered his script under their own names with the Screen Writers Association. Additionally, they have been actively promoting the story to various production houses, fraudulently claiming it as their original work.

According to reports from India Today, Shaad Ali has submitted a complaint to the Mumbai court regarding the alleged script theft. In his plea, the director alleged that the two individuals had manipulated the system by registering his script with the Screen Writers Association and misleadingly presenting it as their own creation. Furthermore, they were actively marketing the script to multiple production companies, falsely asserting their authorship.

Representing Ali, lawyer Jay Bharadwaj conveyed to the court that the director had invested a significant amount of time in developing the script. During this process, Ali claimed that he had shared the story with the two associates, seeking their input and suggestions for potential improvements. Remarkably, Ali also claimed that he voluntarily provided each of them with a goodwill gesture, amounting to 90 thousand rupees, even though there was no legal obligation to do so.

Shaad Ali claimed that when he confronted the two individuals regarding the theft, they demanded a substantial sum of Rs. 5 crores to “amicably settle the issue.” The director also disclosed that he had received threats from these individuals. Following a court hearing, it was suggested that a decision on Ali's complaint might be reached on October 12.

Shah Rukh Khan seeks police protection after receiving death threats; gets upgraded to Y+ security

Bollywood facing the wrath of the underworld has been a rather infamous 90s phenomena and it seems that it has returned to haunt the superstars yet again, especially Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. While the blackbuck case resulted in Salman and his family receiving death threats until today, the threats for Shah Rukh Khan seems to have returned after his stupendous success post Jawan and Pathaan.

Post that, the actor seems to have approached the Mumbai police to seek protection wherein he revealed that he has been receiving death threats, after which the police sprung into action and provided him Y+ security cover, The said cover includes six armed personnel around the clock unlike his usual security which only included two officers. After Salman Khan was provided with the same security earlier this year after he received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang, Shah Rukh Khan is the next actor to have received this recently.

Earlier, in a post shared by Sanjay Gupta, the filmmaker had appreciated Shah Rukh Khan not only in his film Jawan but also his ability to stand up and speak up against wrong doings. He had also recalled the time when Bollywood including Shah Rukh Khan received several threats from the underworld in the 90s, and how the superstar refused to bow down. He had written in his tweet, “I saw JAWAN. I feel compelled to share this. Back in the 90’s when the underworld bullying of the film stars was at its peak @iamsrk was THE ONLY star who never gave in. “Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga. Main Pathan hoon.” He said. He’s the same today.”

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan showcases the superstar in the role of a police officer who takes drastic steps to seek justice by raising an army to fight the war in the most unconventional ways.

EXCLUSIVE: Hansal Mehta’s show with Pratik Gandhi on Mahatma Gandhi to go on floors in a month

Hansal Mehta and Pratik Gandhi’s collaboration in Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story turned out to be one of the most iconic Hindi web shows. The web series told the life story of the stock market scamster Harshad Mehta. The two also collaborated for the short film Baai in the anthology Modern Love: Mumbai.

Mehta and Gandhi’s next collaboration in the form of a web series on Mohandar Karamchand Gandhi aka Mahatma Gandhi is keenly awaited as it is the first show of the duo after Scam 1992. The web series is adapted from historian Ramachandra Guha’s books ‘Gandhi Before India’ and ‘Gandhi: The Years That Changed The World.’ The show will see Pratik play Gandhi while it will be produced by Applause Entertainment, which had also produced Scam 1992.

In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Hansal Mehta revealed that the show is all set to commence shoot soon. “We are very heavily into pre-production. We will be commencing shoot within maximum of a month. We are preparing to begin shooting,” he said.

Interestingly, Pratik has played Gandhi before in Manoj Shah’s Gujarati play Mohan No Masalo. He also starred in the Hindi and English adaptations of the same play. Although Hansal has seen the play, he said that that wasn’t the reason why he cast Pratik to play Gandhi in his show. “Pratik was cast in the show by Applause (Entertainment). I came into the show a month after Pratik was cast. After Pratik was cast and after I came in, we all went together to watch the play,” said the filmmaker.

Hansal pointed out that the play is hugely different from the show they are set out to make, although both are based on Gandhi’s life. “They are two different interpretations,” he said. “One, it is theatre. And it’s an interpretation of his life through a monologue. It’s a one-man act. It’s incredibly well performed. It’s incredible! But what we are doing right now is something far beyond that. It’s a different interpretation and a different medium altogether. We are doing our best to do something that we have never seen before.”

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Masaba Gupta to return for second season of audio series Marvel’s Wastelanders: Black Widow

Audible has today announced the upcoming release of the third season of the Hindi Audible Original podcast series Marvel’s Wastelanders. The new season, Marvel’s Wastelanders: Black Widow, launches on 8th November 2023, with Kareena Kapoor Khan as the voice of Black Widow/Helen Black and Masaba Gupta as Lisa Cartwright. Following the success of Marvel’s Wastelanders: Star-Lord with Saif Ali Khan and the launch of Marvel’s Wastelanders: Hawkeye with Jaideep Ahlawat and Prajakta Koli on 29th September, the six-season audio epic commences its third instalment. This season captures the spirit of celebrating strong female leads.

Almost thirty years after The Day the Villains Won (aka V-Day), Helen Black (Kareena Kapoor Khan) arrives at her new apartment in The Onar, a 161-story apartment complex in what used to be Midtown Manhattan. Owned and operated by the U.S. American Secret Service S.H.I.E.L.D., The Onar has become the very embodiment of the dystopic wealth and inequality that’s engulfed New York City ever since V-Day. A collection of uber-rich families – including the media magnate Burge family – occupy the opulent penthouses in the DecaDomes, The Onar’s highest ten stories. Helen Black’s apartment is located in the much humbler ‘100 Block’. When her nosy neighbour Dr. Brian Mizuno asks Helen (through the paper-thin walls) what brought her here, she cryptically alludes to “problems with an ex…”.

On the same day that Helen moves into her apartment, Lisa Cartwright reports for her first day as a Junior Residential Security Analyst for Panopticog Solutions, a private security company hired by S.H.I.E.L.D. to monitor the residents of The Onar (without their knowledge or consent). Lisa is assigned to survey Helen’s corner of the 100 Block, and quickly discovers that Helen Black is not at all who she says she is.

Marvel’s Wastelanders is the first collaboration between Audible and Marvel Entertainment and will be released simultaneously in French, German, Hindi, Italian and Japanese in the respective countries as a global audio experience with top-quality production, featuring renowned and high-profile actors in the roles of Marvel’s legendary Super Heroes.

The six-season audio epic originally launched as an English language series in June 2021. The English language version of Marvel’s Wastelanders: Black Widow was written by Alex Delyle (Fear the Walking Dead), directed by Timothy Busfield (Thirtysomething, The West Wing), with sound design and original music by Daniel Brunelle (The Two Princes, Sandra).

Shefali Shah shares personal experience of street harassment; says, “I was really young”

Acclaimed actress Shefali Shah has opened up about facing street harassment at a young age, and how she believes that sons must be raised right in order to keep daughters safe.

In an interview with News18, Shah, who is a mother of two sons, said that she too has faced street harassment like most women. She recalled an incident when she was coming back from school as a young girl and was harassed by a man in a crowded market.

“I remember when I was really young, and in the market, coming back from school, I faced it. And I couldn’t do anything about it. I was too young and I was just scared and no one stood up.

Coming to the professional front, the renowned actress was seen in a bunch of projects, released in 2022, including Doctor G, Darlings and Delhi Crime Season 2.
