'I wish I had done Andhadhun. I wish I had done Varun Dhawan's role in Badlapur. I wish Rajkummar Rao ki aadhi career meri hoti.'
Where Dhurandhar leaned into aggressive bloodlust through its acerbic storytelling, Ikkis moves in the opposite direction, asking us to see people beyond uniforms, slogans, or sides, observes Mayur Sanap.
'If we find the right story for the sequel, why not?'
The bond between Bollywood's siblings is there for all to see. While some may not not worked together, they promote and support each other just as strongly.
'I narrated the story to many top actors, but for some reason, they couldn't connect with the character of a blind pianist.'
Andhadhun is a stunning, comic, grisly, absurd, intense, cold, crazy and must-watch, raves Sukanya Verma.
'The biggest success of Andhadhun is that viewers are thinking and debating about it. I didn't expect it,' Sriram Raghavan tells Ronjita Kulkarni/Rediff.com.
Andhadhun was screened on the opening night of the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.
A screening of the romantic action thriller Yudhra was held in Mumbai, and its good-looking cast -- Malavika Mohanan and Siddhant Chaturvedi -- made sure to attend.
While Satya's pleasures are palpable -- among them the poetry of the coarse language, the mercifully rough-hewn texture, the oh-so-familiar underdog story -- these pleasures hit you at a completely different speed.

Films that turned out to be box office disappointments.
'The maximum struggle that I have gone through in this industry was to try to get a film made which had a female action star.' 'And that film never got made, despite reaching out to some of the biggest actresses.'
'It would have made (Producer) Ramesh Taurani very happy if I taken two Bombay stars, but the reason why I kept mentally rejecting the regular sort of casting was to discover this excitement, you know, can I crack it?'
Merry Christmas brims with Sriram Raghavan's signature style and ample cheeky look-what-I-did-there moments.
If you have never seen Sriram Raghavan fly, you would hardly realise that this time, he is happy in his cage, this time he isn't reaching for the skies, notes Sreehari Nair.
