After months of fervent speculation and casting rumours, actor Sunny Deol has been confirmed to portray the mighty Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious project Ramayana. This announcement joins Ranbir Kapoor, who will essay Lord Ram, in what promises to be an epic cinematic retelling of the revered Hindu epic.

Deol's association with the project has generated considerable excitement. Sources close to the production, as reported by PinkVilla, describe him as "all charged up" to take on this iconic role, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." His imposing physical presence and unwavering dedication embody the unwavering loyalty and strength associated with Hanuman, making him a fitting choice for the character.

While some online discussions have raised questions about the age gap between Deol and Kapoor, the makers remain undeterred. According to the publication, they view the casting through the lens of the timeless nature of the Ramayana narrative, where the bond between characters transcends the limitations of earthly time.

The publication quoted a source saying, "It's a legacy part, and the teams are unfazed by the social media chatter. Ranbir has the utmost respect for Sunny Deol, and the latter considers Ranbir to be one of the finest actors in Indian Cinema. The dynamic shared by the two will be a treat for audiences on the big screen. The idea is to bring to spectacle the pure bond shared by Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman."

Deol joins an impressive cast that includes Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi. Talks are ongoing with Vijay Sethupathi for the crucial role of Vibhishana, with the remaining key characters soon to be finalised.

The journey to bring this epic to life starts in March 2024, with Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi leading the charge. Filming for Ramayana: Part One will continue till May, culminating in a July wrap. The post-production process for this first instalment is expected to take a year and a half.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma.

Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
