Actor Arshad Warsi, who recently narrated the streaming series ‘Choona’, is celebrating 20 years of his iconic film ‘Munnabhai Mbbs’. The actor shared a recent incident when he and Sanjay Dutt shot for a project and the whole unit was just in awe of them as they donned their iconic costumes of Munna and Circuit.
Arshad’s character of Circuit has become a cult over the years and sets the biggest example of friendship goals as his chemistry with Munna is the stuff of legends. One could even feel a void when Munna and Circuit have a misunderstanding in ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’, and the scene where Munna reluctantly says sorry to Circuit brings tears in everyone’s eyes.
Walking down the memory lane, Arshad said: “I cannot believe it has been 2 decades. Circuit is a very special character for me, it is very close to my heart.”

Actor Aashim Gulati, who is known for ‘Taj: Divided by Blood’, ‘U-Turn’ and ‘Choona’, has said that the medium of Ott has completely changed the game for actors as they now get to delve deeper into their characters.
The actor has shared that he is essentially having a field day at work, more than he has ever had.
Elaborating on the same, Aashim said: “No actor can deny that the coming of Ott has changed the game completely. Because it is long format, one gets to show a wide range of graphs when it comes to the character. You find every nuance, every detail, every mannerism included. You end up digging into your character way deeper than you’d in a film.”
He further mentioned: “It is an eight-hour showcase, so you can show the whole arc where he came from, who he is and where he will head. I can play with different emotions.

It’s not often that a heist movie is made with absolute sensibility, where the makers can connect the dots and take the narrative forward without confusing the audience much. Kasaragold is a part heist and part drama film directed by Mridul Nair that talks about two men and their elaborate plan to not just steal the smuggled gold but also make sure it remains safe with them until it is sold.

Netflix India has released some really good content this year, and the most prominent show from the streaming giant is Kohrra. Other than this Punjab based Netflix India Original; Class, Friday Night Plan, Choona, Guns & Gulaabs, and Jaane Jaan are some of the latest additions to the Netflix India lineup. Khufiya, directed by the famous Vishal Bharadwaj, is a new inclusion that, by the looks of it, is a spy thriller set in post-liberalization India. Vishal Bharadwaj also dropped a whodunnit web series Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of the Solang Valley, and we think the filmmaker is on a roll to be coming out with back-to-back work that will further diversify his filmography.
