According to Indian media reports, the Andheri Magistrate Court in Mumbai issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for the renowned filmmaker after the case was heard for nearly seven years.

The court found Varma guilty of issuing a bounced cheque due to insufficient funds and ordered him to pay INR 375,000 as compensation to the complainant. Failure to comply with the payment will result in an additional three months of imprisonment.

The case was filed by a company named Shree in 2018. Although the ‘Satya’ director secured bail in 2022 by submitting an INR 5,000 bond, he has now been convicted. Reports indicate that Varma was not present at the court hearing.

Following the court’s decision, Ram Gopal Varma addressed the situation on X, stating, “With regard to the news about me and Andheri court, I want to clarify that it is to do with a 7-year-old case of ₹2 lakh 38 thousand amount, relating to my ex-employee.

Discussing his new film, Varma posted on X, “The film is called SYNDICATE. It’s about a terrifying organisation which threatens the very EXISTENCE of INDIA. SYNDICATE will be a very SCARY FILM not due to any supernatural elements, but because it will SCARILY expose what HORRORS HUMAN BEINGS CAN DO.”

Benedict Cumberbatch doesn’t see himself as ‘typical star’ like DiCaprio or Brad Pitt

January 23, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Benedict Cumberbatch doesn’t see himself like DiCaprio or Brad Pitt.
Cumberbatch reflected on his unconventional appeal.
He confessed that the public’s perception of him has been a mystery.

Benedict Cumberbatch has made it clear that he doesn’t see himself as a “typical movie star” like Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt.

In a recent interview with Variety about his upcoming film The Thing with Feathers, the 48-year-old actor reflected on his unconventional appeal, which soared after his breakout role in the BBC series Sherlock.

“I’m not Brad, I’m not Leonardo, I’m not a typical movie star. People were scrambling for ‘Why is he at all attractive to us?’” Cumberbatch remarked.

The actor admitted to feeling puzzled by his status as a sex symbol, confessing that the public’s perception of him has always been a mystery. “But for me to guess and try to understand that is so f—— weirdly navel-gazing. I’m not sitting around thinking, ‘Why am I sexy?’ I worry about myself in the mirror as I age, like every other f—– does.”

Despite being featured in multiple PEOPLE magazine Sexiest Man Alive issues, Cumberbatch expressed discomfort with the term “celebrity.” He criticized the label as overly broad and often dismissive. “It’s so derogatory, and just lumps anyone famous together,” he explained. “Am I a ‘celebrated’ person? Well, for what? For selling cheese? For being on a reality show? For doing something outrageous? For being an actor?”

His latest film, The Thing with Feathers, will premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on January 25 in Park City, Utah. In the drama, Cumberbatch plays a grieving widower struggling to care for his two young children while battling eerie visions of a monstrous crow haunting their lives.

Triptii Dimri talks about facing criticism and how she manages to tackle with it

January 23, 2025 by Areej Afzal

The career of Triptii Dimri skyrocketed with her role in Animal.
Her performance also faced criticism.
Triptii clarified that she is going with the flow.

Triptii Dimri’s career skyrocketed with her supporting role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, firmly establishing her in the mainstream film industry. Despite the praise, her performance also faced criticism, but the actress remains unfazed.

In an interview with Forbes India, Triptii addressed the backlash, stating, “I am someone who wants to give 100 percent. If I find the character or the story interesting, I want to give my all. That’s what I’ve learned—if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. We won’t always be liked by everybody. There will be some people who like you, and some who don’t.”

Dismissing claims that she is trying to move away from bold on-screen persona image, Triptii clarified, “I am going with the flow. The aim is to play different characters because I don’t want to go to a set and feel bored. I don’t want to show up and think, ‘I know this.’ I want to feel challenged, to wonder, ‘How will this happen?’—and then make it happen.”

Recently, rumors suggested that Triptii was dropped from Aashiqui 3 for being “too exposed.” However, director Anurag Basu denied these claims, asserting, “That’s not true, and Triptii knows it too.”

Triptii is now focusing on Vishal Bhardwaj’s Arjun Ustara, alongside Shahid Kapoor, and will soon begin filming Dhadak 2 opposite Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Akshay Kumar shares how he extended his role in ‘Jaani Dushman’ for personal reasons

January 23, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Akshay Kumar shared how he extended his role in Jaani Dushman.
Akshay revealed that his original role in the film was much smaller.
He admitted that he did the film for selfish reasons.

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar recently shared an amusing anecdote about his extended role in the 2002 fantasy action thriller Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Akshay revealed that his original role in the film was much smaller, but he managed to extend it for personal reasons.

“In that film, Armaan Kohli kills me. He’s playing the snake and he kills me, and then I die. Okay? Fantastic. I was on per day, I used to get (paid) per day. I wanted money, I wanted to buy a flat,” Akshay recalled. He explained that when he realized the production team was struggling to get another actor’s dates, he seized the opportunity. “So I asked, ‘Paaji, should I do it instead?’ ‘But you are dead.’ After five minutes, he said, ‘Listen, Akshay! I’ll put you in coma so you come back,’” he laughed. “So if you see the film, you’ll find that I’m in coma, I’m not dead. Then, I get up and fight him again. So I got paid for five more days,” he added.

Akshay admitted that he did the film for selfish reasons but acknowledged that it has since gained cult status due to its frequent television re-runs. Jaani Dushman featured an ensemble cast, including Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Manisha Koirala, and marked the acting debut of singer Sonu Nigam.

Akshay called the film the only pure horror project he has done, apart from horror comedies like Bhool Bhulaiyaa and the upcoming Bhooth Bangla. He revealed that both he and his wife, Twinkle Khanna, are horror buffs. The actor is currently filming Bhooth Bangla in Jaipur and has several upcoming releases, including Sky Force, Jolly LLB 3, and Hera Pheri 3.
