Sidharth Malhotra and Wife Kiara Advani Take Ganpatiâs Blessings For The Release of The Vvaan

The Vvaan finally hit the theatres after a long haul of anticipation by the fans. This new folklore thriller takes place within the depths of a forest where a powerful spiritual force resides. The only condition that requires to be abided by is not to step into the forest at night. Fail to do so, and you will never exit.
On September 24, the premiere of The Vvaan was held, where many were in attendance. Prior to the premiere, Sidharth Malhotra, along with his wife, Kiara Advani, was out to take blessings during the Ganpati celebrations.

Just a few days back, both Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia had also visited a temple in Patna, Bihar, to take the blessings of Mother Ganga and to perform the Chhath pooja. As per the ritual, the prayer is not meant just for the rising sun but also for the setting sun.
The Vvaan follows the journey of a young city man, Rishi (Sidharth Malhotra), who, through a sequence of events, visits his ancestral village for the occasion of a Chhath pooja with his wife (Tamannaah Bhatia).

Rishi, on one hand, wants to sell a piece of land which he inherited in the forest, while Deepak (Sunil Grover) wishes to build a road through the forest. However, none of these actions are greenlit due to the villagers’ opposition, fearing the rules of the forest. Both Rishi and Deepak take these superstitions lightly. 
Rishi, dismissing these warnings, enters to make a point, and is soon subjected to a world of supernatural powers. He must now face his past and use his newfound powers to help protect the village from evil spirits.

Rajkummar Rao reveals he used to stand outside Shah Rukh Khanâs Mannat when he first came to Mumbai

Rajkummar Rao appeared on Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 alongside Wamiqa Gabbi and Ujjwal Nikam, whose life and career form the basis of his upcoming film Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam.
During the episode, Rao spoke about his admiration for Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan and reflected on how their journeys from Delhi inspired him as an aspiring actor. Bachchan, in turn, shared his own experience of working with Shah Rukh and spoke about the quality he admires most in the superstar.

During the show, Bachchan asked Rao about his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and pointed out their shared Delhi connection. Rao said, “Sir, since you are from Delhi yourself, and I too had decided at a very young age that I wanted to pursue acting… Also, there used to be a poster of yours in my mother’s room because you have always been number one, and we have all drawn inspiration from you. As I was saying, I was deeply inspired by Shah Rukh Sir’s journey; how a boy from a middle-class family in Delhi started out in theatre, did numerous TV shows, and eventually became a massive superstar. When I first came to Mumbai for a show, though I didn’t get selected, I used to stand outside his bungalow, right in front of Mannat.”

Bachchan then shared his own experience of working with Shah Rukh. He said, “Main batata hoon maine unke saath kaam kiya hai aur woh aise insaan hain ki woh kisi bhi baat par haar nahi maante. Koi bhi samasya ho, woh sirf bolte hain aur saamne wale ka confidence kitna badhaate hain. (I have worked with him, and he is the kind of person who never gives up on anything; no matter the problem, just by speaking, he boosts the other person’s confidence tremendously).”

 

The conversation comes ahead of the release of Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, in which Rao plays the veteran public prosecutor. Directed by Avinash Arun and also starring Wamiqa Gabbi, Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikandar Kher, the biographical courtroom drama explores Nikam’s career and some of the high-profile cases he handled. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on October 16, 2026.

âœThe Makeup Was Taking So Long – Tom Cruise On His Character In Digger

Tom Cruise’s next, Digger, is soon to be released in theatres, this time in a completely new avatar. Tom has a history of going over the top with transformations in certain roles. It reaches a point where you have to sit and ponder whether that is, in fact, Tom Cruise.

Tom extends to the same limits once again in Digger as he plays the role of an unhinged and greedy billionaire, Digger Rockwell, with physical traits far contrasting to his very own.

During an interview at The Graham Norton Show, he revealed a few facts about his transformation process into the character’s skin. He said, “Let me make it clear… None of that is me! The makeup was taking so long that I decided to get it down from six hours to one. It was like a ballet, getting everything in place.”

He jokingly compared the task to a high-adrenaline sport. He added, “It was just like Formula 1. I had someone else hold the stopwatch!” Tom continued, “My character is outrageous and unpredictable. He says things that others may be thinking and never say.”

He further talks about the story and the greatness being produced by the director. “It’s a timeless story about power, greed, and ego framed in a very timely manner by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.” Tom Cruise continues to praise the role he played as a true fan. “I’ve never read a script like it, and I have never seen a character like Digger.”

Some other roles in which he has gone to great lengths with makeup are Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder (2008), Frank T.J. Mackey in Magnolia (1999), David Aames in Vanilla Sky (2001), and Lestat de Lioncourt in Interview With The Vampire (1994).

Digger will be released on October 2, 2016. You can watch the trailer here:
