‘Vanvaas’ strikes deep chord with businessman Vijaypat Singhania

Mumbai, Dec 10 (IANS) The team of the upcoming film ‘Vanvaas’ organised a special screening for the Indian businessman Vijaypat Singhania in the Nariman Point area of downtown Mumbai.

The film, which stars Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma, explores themes of familial betrayal and personal resilience.

The film struck a deep chord with the businessman as he was ousted from his home in Mumbai by his son Gautam Singhania.

In 2015, Vijaypat Singhania sold off his entire 37% stake in Raymond Group to his younger son and then-chairman of Raymond. This was the start of a widely-publicszed and long-running feud in Singhania’s family over various matters stemming from the transfer.

Vijaypat Singhania (84), who was once a top business tycoon of one of India’s largest and most iconic textile brands rarely steps out for events.

‘Vanvaas’ is directed by Anil Sharma, who is known for ‘Gadar 2’.

Anil Sharma, who returned to the fold in 2023 with his blockbuster ‘Gadar 2’ is known to tell the stories in an old school way but packaged in a new format.

‘Gadar 2’, which starred Sunny Deol and Utkarsh, collected Rs. 686 crore worldwide, out of which a huge chunk of its collections came from India where it collected Rs. 525.7 crore. The film breathed new life into the career of Sunny Deol, who will be next seen in ‘Lahore 1947’.

2023 proved to be great year for the Deols with the Dharmendra-starrer ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ turning into a superhit followed by Sunny’s ‘Gadar 2’ and Bobby Deol’s ‘Animal’.

Meanwhile, given Anil Sharma’s keen storytelling and this compelling cast, ‘Vanvaas’ goes beyond traditional drama to offer a deeply emotional journey through timeless themes. The film is produced, directed, and written by Anil Sharma, and is set for a worldwide release under Zee Studios on December 20, 2024.

Sydney Sweeney claps back at body shamers

Los Angeles, Dec 14 (IANS) Actress Sydney Sweeney has slammed those who body shamed her. The ‘Euphoria’ actress recently posted a video on her Instagram that featured dozens of screenshots of comments about her body.

One user commented, “Quite frumpy isn’t she”. Another wrote, “Nothing to see here other than an average chunky Yankee girl”, reports ‘People’ magazine.

Many of the comments seem to be taken from a Daily Mail article that showcased photos of the actress enjoying the sun while in a bikini at her Florida Keys home.

As per ‘People’, the montage of comments then cuts to footage of the ‘Anyone But You’ star working out as she intensely trains for her role as Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic about the boxer.

Her fitness footage includes shots of her flipping giant tires, lifting weight, boxing and flexing her muscular biceps.

“Well, the cat’s out of the bag thanks to some paps in bushes so here’s a little BTS from my film I’m working on right now”, Sweeney wrote in an Instagram post on October 16. “Over the past few months, I’ve been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman—a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring”.

Christy Martin, 56, rose to fame in the ’90s, becoming one of America’s most successful female boxers. She became the first woman inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016 and also the first woman inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2020.

She became the first female boxer to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1996, with Ronda Rousey becoming the second and most recent in 2015. Martin, who retired from professional boxing in 2012, survived an attempted murder in 2010 when her husband, James V. Martin, stabbed her several times and left her for dead.
