Exciting developments are on the horizon for Indian cinema! Following her Grand Prix win at Cannes for ‘All We Imagine as Light,’ filmmaker Payal Kapadia is taking on the role of producer for an intriguing new Malayalam film titled ‘Guptam’ (also known as ‘The Last of Them Plagues’).
She will be joined by Bollywood power couple Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, who are also stepping in as producers, along with director Jeo Baby of ‘Kaathal – The Core’ and actress Kani Kusruti from ‘All We Imagine as Light.’

The film is penned and directed by Kunjila Mascillamani, a filmmaker recognized for her bold storytelling style. It will be presented to potential investors at the CinéV Film Markets in Chandigarh from March 20 to 23, paving the way for a highly anticipated release.

Payal Kapadia is widely acknowledged for her ability to spot compelling narratives, and she was captivated by ‘Guptam’ from the moment she was introduced to its initial treatment.
“Upon experiencing Kunjila’s ‘Asanghadithar’, I was profoundly impressed by her remarkable craftsmanship and strong voice,” she remarked. “As a woman, I’ve faced the ongoing lack of diverse female representation on screen. Reading ‘Guptam,’ I knew I had to produce this film. The story of a single mother confronting a society that views her as an outlier mirrors the lives of countless women around us. I grew up witnessing women akin to Sethulekshmi from ‘Guptam.'”

Given her track record of telling deeply personal and socially relevant stories, it’s no surprise Kapadia views this film as a significant contribution to Indian cinema.
Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, who have been making a mark as producers through their unique project selections, are equally enthusiastic about their involvement in ‘Guptam.’
“We strongly resonate with Kunjila’s script as producers. It reveals the subtle violence against women disguised as ‘culture,'” the couple shared in a joint statement. “In ‘Guptam,’ a woman’s choice to exist on her own terms disturbs many in her homeland. This theme knows no borders. We’ve admired Kunjila’s work for its originality, and we’re excited to start this journey with her.”

BBK12: A major fight broke out in the Bigg Boss Kannada house during the nomination task on Tuesday. As per the rules of the task, contestants had to nominate a housemate by pushing them into the swimming pool.

The tension between the contestants rose quickly, leading to chaos during the task. The incident has now become one of the most talked-about moments of the season.

BBK12 : The latest episode of Bigg Boss Super Sunday with Sudeep brought several entertaining moments. One of the highlights was when host Kiccha Sudeep asked Gilli if he would like to write a book about the Bigg Boss contestants. Gilli responded with humour and interesting observations.

He first chose Druvanth as a character for his book. Gilli said that Druvanth stays silent throughout the week, but when it is time for nomination, he suddenly turns into a “devil”. His funny description made the audience laugh.

Gilli then spoke about Suraj Singh. He introduced him as “the hero of the story”. He joked that Suraj entered the house through the swimming pool, but no one knew that he had actually fallen into the pool. His playful storytelling added more fun to the segment.

Next, Gilli commented on Ragu. He said he expected Ragu to be a fighter, full of action and villain-like attitude. But Ragu turned out to be the opposite. Instead of creating drama, he is seen in the kitchen chopping onions and garlic.

Overall, today’s Super Sunday with Sudeep was filled with humour and lively conversations. Viewers enjoyed the light-hearted episode, and Gilli’s witty comments added extra entertainment to the show.
