“Actor Neena Gupta has been part of some well-received projects this year on OTT as well as in theatres. The actor, who was recently seen in director Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, says that there was a time when she couldn’t say no to the roles even if she wanted to. However, that has changed now.
In an interview with News 18, Neena said, “There was a time in my career when I didn’t have a choice in choosing the roles that came to me as I needed the money to run my house. Today if something doesn’t excite me, I simply don’t do it. One of the biggest changes that happened is the fact that I am in a position to say no.”

“Kartik Aaryan, on Wednesday, introduced his fans to his obsession ‘Kainaaz’ in the upcoming crime-thriller Freddy.
In the monochrome poster, Alaya F seems to be his new target. Alaya’s half-face is revealed in the poster. Kartik was seen donning an intense look with a blood stain on his hand. On the other hand, Alaya look scared and shocked.

“Drishyam 2 director Abhishek Pathak says there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the concept of remaking films for a wider audience, but it becomes an issue when filmmakers opt for a “frame to frame” copy of the original work. The director acknowledges that there is a rising debate about whether remakes post-pandemic make sense because any original work is a click away thanks to streamers.
Pathak told indianexpress.com, “I have been reading about it. Even Hollywood does a lot of remakes, Oceans 11, and The Departed are remakes too but no one compares because they made it so beautifully, that they forget the older version. That’s the idea when you are remaking, take the soul of the story and then adapt it.””
