About Tumbbad

Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, the period folk horror film was released in 2018. Tumbbad tells the story of a man obsessed with finding hidden treasure in a cursed village. Set against the backdrop of colonial India, the film visually stunning and deeply haunting that blends greed, mythology, and fear perfectly. It starred Sohum Shah, along with Jyoti Malshe, Anita Date-Kelkar, Rohini Chakraborty, Mohammad Samad and Rudra Soni, among others. It was re-released in theatres last year and received a lot of appreciation from the audience.

Meanwhile, a massive set is currently being constructed in Mumbai, as per Hindustan Times. It will be spread across 7 to 8 acres and will resemble a ‘full-scale city’. It will reportedly be used for the first schedule of the film. Details around the plot has been kept under wraps so far but Sohum will be reprising his role. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has also joined the cast as the antagonist.

Talking about his role, he said, “Tumbbad has always been a film I admired for its originality and atmospheric storytelling. When Sohum shared the vision for the sequel, I liked the story and joined them on their journey.”

Alia Bhatt was recently photographed in the city, in a black asymmetrical top and blue denim. She placed her hair in a tiny ponytail but loose tresses on the sides.

Alia exited a restaurant with her friend, actress Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, while she was clicked by the media personnel in and around the venue. She also made halts along the way to click pictures with her fans, who were waiting for her at the venue.

She slowly stepped inside her car, after greeting the paparazzi and waving her fans goodbye.

On the professional front, she is currently gearing up to release Yash Raj Films’ ALPHA, where she is starring alongside Sharvari. Alia will also be seen with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War.

Take a look at her recent clicks below:

It is still Hannah Montana’s world, and we are simply living in it! If you have grown up watching Miley Cyrus transform into Hannah Montana with the switch of a wig, the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special must intrigue you. In simple terms, it is the grand celebration of the Disney Channel series turning 20 and the Friends-esque anniversary special has reestablished yet again, Miley is never going away.

While the anniversary special was a reminder for fans about the greatness of Hanna Montana, it did have its moments of mirth and boredom. For starters, a sit-down interview did not work out for some, while some absolutely cherished the conversations Miley had with the interviewer. If you are wondering about the best moments from the special, here’s a list of the top 5 as per our understanding.

Nostalgia peaked as Miley Cyrus performed Best of Both Worlds, the Hannah Montana title track. For her Hannah-versary, she chose to enthrall the audiences with an energetic performance on the popular track. The cameras transitioned from Miley’s performance in her blonde hair to audiences’ heartfelt reactions.

For the kids who grew up watch Hannah Montana, the Stewart house holds many memories. It is where the magic always happened – Miley turned into Hannah, and vice versa. Also, nothing compares to hearing the songstress recreating the iconic “Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-yeaaaah” transition music for her fans. All in all, sweet niblets, we couldn’t get enough of this recreation!

Miley did not hesitate opening up about her Disney friendships. From Nick Jonas to Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and the Cole twins, she bared it all for her fans. Miley recalled her relationship with Dylan Sprouse. She said, “Their dad would take us to sushi. It was a two-for-one. Like, bring the brother!”

She also revealed, “Literally the reason that the Jonas Brothers were on tour with me was because Nick (Jonas) was my boyfriend and I wanted to not leave my boyfriend. So, I would be like, ‘Okay, I’ll go on tour if my boyfriend can come’ and they were like, ‘Cute! Have your boyfriend open for the show.'”

Watching Billy Ray Cyrus by Miley’s side has to be one of our favourites. It was heartwarming to watch them together, reading their lines and what not. Fans loved the father-daughter duo while the show ran, but we know what went on in their personal lives. Nonetheless, realising that the family has sorted their lives out and come together to support Miley again made everyone teary-eyed.

The “has been” and “never was” of the Hannah Montana world, Miley Stewart and Mikayla Skeech, reunited for the 20th anniversary special. The moment was cute, as they reminisced their characters’ rivalry. During the show, Miley told Selena, “We were pretty vicious,” to which Selena replied, “It’ was pretty mean.”
