Actors Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Aditi Rao Hydari are set to star in a bold silent film titled Gandhi Talks, which is scheduled for release on January 30.

Director’s Vision

Director Kishore Belekar elaborated on the film’s vision, stating, “Gandhi Talks is a film about trusting silence. As Indian cinema marks over a century of storytelling, we wanted to return to the medium’s most elemental form—pure performance and emotion.”

He further emphasized, “The actors embraced that vulnerability completely, and A.R. Rahman’s score became the film’s voice. With Zee Studios’ and Meera Chopra’s support, we were able to create a bold, honest piece of cinema.”

A Unique Approach

In a film landscape often dominated by scale and sound, Gandhi Talks opts for restraint, emotion, and stillness to convey its message. The movie features an extraordinary ensemble cast that includes Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Siddharth Jadhav.

A key element enhancing the film is A.R. Rahman’s music, which serves as the emotional voice of Gandhi Talks. In the absence of spoken dialogue, his score narrates the film’s emotional journey, guiding the audience through its landscape.

Plot Overview

Reportedly, the film is a black comedy that examines the contrast between Gandhi’s image on currency notes and his ideals, focusing on a young man’s struggle for money and his encounters with a thief.

Recent Projects

Vijay Sethupathi was recently seen in Thalaivan Thalaivii, directed by Pandiraj, a romantic comedy that also stars Nithya Menon.

Aditi Rao Hydari’s latest project was Hey! Sinamika, directed by Brinda. This film, which is an adaptation of the 2008 Argentine film A Boyfriend for My Wife, switches the roles around. It features Dulquer Salmaan and Aditi as a married couple, with Kajal Aggarwal as a relationship counselor and Nakshatra Nagesh as a radio jockey. The storyline follows Yaazhan, a software engineer, whose wife Mouna feels frustrated with him and seeks to end their marriage.

Arvind Swamy’s last significant big-screen performance was in Anupam Kher’s film Tanvi The Great.

Actor Paramvir Singh Cheema will be seen portraying Subedar Nishaan Singh in the highly anticipated war drama, “Border 2.”

In a recent social media post, Cheema shared the heartfelt reaction of his father when he informed him about his selection for the sequel. He recounted, “When I told my father that I got shortlisted for Border 2, he said, ‘Eh Taan Krni He Hai’ (You have to do this). He was so happy; my whole family and friends were so happy. This is for my friends and family (sic).”

For Cheema, being part of the ‘Border’ legacy holds immense significance. He expressed on Instagram, “Being a part of such an iconic film means so much to me. Never thought my journey would take me to the sets of Border, singing the iconic line ‘Sandese Aate hain,’ and performing alongside Sunny Deol and such great actors.”

Expressing gratitude towards director Anurag Singh, Cheema stated, “Thank you @anurag_singh_films for having faith in me. It was a pleasure to work under your direction, sir. Working with you was so easy as an actor. I used to discuss a lot of things with you about craft, family, work, life, and found a big brother in you. Thank you for making me a part of such an iconic film.”

In an exclusive interaction, Cheema opened up about his experience working with Sunny Deol and the personal and professional impact it had on him. He remarked, “Yes, that’s true. The exciting part is that Border 2 is an action film—a full-scale war movie. It’s packed with action from start to finish. I’m sharing the screen with Sunny Deol. I’ve always admired him because he’s also Punjabi. Whenever we come from Punjab, the first place we visit is Sunny Deol’s house.”

“Border 2,” backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, is set to hit theaters on January 23.

A Historic Collaboration

This marks their first collaboration in over a decade since the release of “This Party Getting Hot” in 2012.

Honey Singh’s Musical Journey

Honey Singh rose to prominence after releasing his Punjabi album International Villager in 2011. The album’s hit song, “Gabru,” featuring J-Star, quickly topped various Asian music charts, including the official BBC Asian charts. He continued to solidify his legacy through collaborations with leading artists. Notable tracks include his Hindi debut in Mastan, and viral hits like “Brown Rang” and “High Heels,” which were among the top trending videos of that year. Following the success of “Brown Rang,” he teamed up with Gippy Grewal for “Angreji Beat.”

In 2024, Singh launched his album Glory, which featured 18 tracks including “Millionaire,” “Rap God,” and “Jatt Mehkma.” That same year, a Netflix documentary titled Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous was released.

Jazzy B’s Rise to Fame

Jazzy B gained fame with his hit “Surma” and is well known for “Dil Luteya,” a collaboration with Apache Indian from the album Romeo. He made waves in 2008 with “Glassy,” featuring Esha Gupta, and lent his voice to “Fukraa” for the Emraan Hashmi film Rush in 2012. In 2013, he performed “Jugni” for the film Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, featuring well-known actors like Jimmy Sheirgill and Irrfan Khan.

With each update from Yash’s highly anticipated period action drama “Toxic,” the excitement around the film is steadily growing. The latest buzz is centered on actress Tara Sutaria, who has been revealed in her first look as Rebecca in this action-packed entertainer.

“Introducing Tara Sutaria as REBECCA in – A Toxic Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups,” wrote Yash on social media while unveiling Tara’s new look. The poster showcases a strikingly fierce Tara dressed in a stunning black off-shoulder gown, accentuated by long black gloves and a chic short hairstyle that exudes a perfect retro vibe. Posing with a gun aimed at an unseen target, she carries an intense expression that adds to her bold persona.

Director Geetu Mohandas expressed her instincts about casting Tara as Rebecca, stating she has always felt a protective love for her character. “Perhaps it’s because she is a guarded soul, or perhaps it’s the armor she’s comfortable with. And perhaps it doesn’t need to be defined,” she elaborated.

Speaking on her collaboration with Tara, Geetu noted that she quickly realized the best approach was to give Tara the space to simply be herself rather than pushing her for more. This choice, she observed, shaped their working relationship into one that was calm, deeply professional, and perfectly aligned. “She observed more than she spoke. She listened more than she revealed,” Geetu noted, reflecting on their dynamic. “I often wondered if I should guide her more closely. But in her silence, something powerful was brewing. When she finally stepped into her performance, what emerged was nothing short of breathtaking, born from an inner understanding she carried all along.”

Geetu also admitted that Tara left her completely surprised in the most beautiful way. “I have no doubt she will surprise everyone else too,” she concluded.

In previous reveals, the filmmakers had also showcased the gripping first looks of other leading actresses, including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, and Huma Qureshi, from “Toxic,” which is set to release on 19th March 2026, coinciding with Eid, Ugadi, and Gudi Padwa.

The couple, who announced their wedding exactly one year ago, shared that the track was recorded around the same time and holds deep personal significance for them. Armaan took to Instagram to share the making of the song.

He expressed in his caption: “A year ago today, we shared with the world that we got married, and got to freeze that moment in time with a song called ‘Ghar’.”

Armaan added, “It became the song Aashna walked down the aisle to, and it still feels surreal every time we relive it. What made it even more special was singing it together.”

The singer also shared that he has always told his wife she possesses the “most beautiful voice.”

“I’ve always told her she has the most beautiful voice, and she’s always been shy about it, so getting her to step up to the mic took a little bit of convincing. A year later today, we get to share some behind-the-scenes moments from that day. We were both nervous, but once it started, it just felt right. Grateful to @amaal_mallik and @shlokelal for helping us create something so honest and timeless,” he remarked.

Armaan made his Bollywood debut in 2007 as a child singer with the song “Bum Bum Bole” from the film Taare Zameen Par. His first on-screen appearance was in the 2011 film Kaccha Limboo. He is well-known for his melodious numbers such as Bol Do Na Zara, Wajah Tum Ho, Main Hoon Hero Tera, Sab Tera, Kaun Tujhe (Male Version), Khali Khali Dil, and Dil Mein Ho Tum, among others.

Challenges of Early Fame
