Vivek Agnihotri questions the question about God
Director Vivek Agnihotri went deep on some philosophy lately, questioning the whole search for a higher power. He dropped a post on Instagram that talked about how arguments over God always get stuck in a basic yes-or-no trap. In his view, religious people think their faith gives them all the answers, while atheists lean entirely on logic. Agnihotri suggested both sides act like they have some special insider info on the entire universe. He wondered if the real issue is the question itself, arguing that being totally sure about God just shrinks something boundless down to a simple concept. Agnihotri often shares these kinds of thoughts about life and what it means to be human. His most recent movie is called The Bengal Files. That film...

Milind Soman says OTT gave 90s stars a second shot
Milind Soman says the whole industry got flipped by streaming. The actor pointed to OTT platforms creating way more content, which finally gives veteran performers from the nineties a real shot again.

Shivanna won't beg Rajini for a role, wants it worthy first
Shivrajkumar basically said he wouldn't just drag Rajinikanth into a Kannada movie for clout. The Kannada star, talking up his new film 45, addressed whether he'd ask the Tamil legend for a role.

If a truly worthy part comes along, he stated he would definitely make the request, but the project would need to be something really special first. His upcoming movie 45 is directed by the composer Arjun Janya, marking that guy's first time in the director's chair. The film is produced by Uma Ramesh Reddy and M Ramesh Reddy, with dialogue from Anil Kumar. It...
