A menacing villain in Bhaukaal & principal antagonist in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi- Abhimanyu Singh
He is known to leave us speechless with one fabulous performance after another, and has wowed us with major transformations in several films.
Owing to his dark villainous character in Bhaukaal, Abhimanyu Singh’s character as Shaukeen is the talk of the town who is playing the main antagonist in the on going web series “Bhaukaal”.
Leaving an undying impact, Abhimanyu Singh’s character of an anti hero has taken the country by storm. With menacing eyes, eccentric mannerisms and powerful acting, Abhimanyu Singh has upped his own ante as a villain in Bhaukaal.
In the 10 episodes web series, Abhimanyu Singh makes a lasting impact as the menacing villain and adds venom to his cruel character. His role as a villain looks barbaric and spiteful as the insensitive killer.
Elaborating about his role, he says “My character is brutal. Calling him a villain will be an understatement. The villain in Bhaukaal is as important and as powerful as the hero. The dialogues are hard. His one liners are the soul of the web series. The vindictiveness of my character is certainly scaring the audience”
“Looks like people are loving the dialogues, they are all over social media. I am happy that people are Shaukeen’s Shaukeen” adds Singh.
Bhaukaal is a crime drama inspired by true-life events of an IPS officer. Directed by Jatin Wagle, this web series on MX Player is produced by Harman Baweja & Vicky Baweja of Baweja Movies & Applause Entertainment
Apart from Bhaukaal, Abhimanyu Singh will be seen as the principle antagonist in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi. Ever since the launch of the trailer, Abhimanyu’s character has made a mark & built curiosity among his fans.
The actor talks about how his character is not a typical baddie in the film despite being part of a larger-than-life Rohit Shetty cop universe “It is a big deal to play the antagonist in a Rohit Shetty film. Everything on the set was so larger-than-life. My character is not a typical baddie, he has his own ideology, does things for his people and is very real with an emotional undercurrent”

Release of the Marathi memoir is the third such book after a successful launch of the English version by the legend Shri Amitabh Bachchan and thereafter the Kannada translation by Padma Vibhushan Shri Veerendra Heggade of Dharmasthala, Karnataka.
Aditya praised the unassuming and humble attributes of Shiva, who runs a chain of 20 salons under the brand name Shiva’s, and hoped that youngsters would be motivated and encouraged. He fondly recalled the long association that Shiva shared with the Thackeray family since the time of his late grandfather, Shri Balasaheb Thackeray. “Keep working, be rooted to the ground and go ahead,” advised Aditya for the would-be entrepreneurs. “Such biographies should be written so that people should know about the struggle that goes into it, only the glamour is seen, but they are unaware of the hard work that has gone into it before reaching this far,” he added and wished all success for the Marathi book.
The book is all about the grit and determination and the many struggles that Shiva had to go through against innumerable odds.
The book titled as Styling at the Top, The Journey of Shiva, Bollywood’s Celebrated Hairstylist is written by journalist Jayashree Shetty and translated into Marathi by Dr. Suchita Nandapurkar-Phadke. The English version is published by Amaryllis, an imprint of Manjul Publishing House, which brought out the Marathi translation. All three editions in English, Marathi and Kannada are available in book stores and online. The Hindi and Gujarati editions are on their way.
“Sambhav Jain, from Delhi Boy to Gullyboy- Apna Time Aayega”
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nmhnuYK0WZy0IOZkafjmo9gQs3Oj8ZYZ/view?usp=drivesdk
Films like Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy, Good News and Setters, that’s the work profile of young Sambhav Jain who arrived in Mumbai just three years back. When you see his picture, one can instantly connect with the familiar face in the several ads on TV. Having done over 50 TVC, Sambhav Jain is rightly humming –APNA TIME AAYEGA.
He was in the blockbuster & Oscar bound film “ Gully Boy” and while nation went crazy rapping apna time aaeyga, Sambhav too patiently waited for his time. His scenes with Ranveer Singh did not make it to the final print and met their date with editor’s scissors. Zoya Akhtar did not let him down; she kept her word and recently released the unused part on their official page. Sambhav originally auditioned for Salman’s character and was also short listed for the role, but as the luck would have it, director Zoya Akhtar found him too young for the role. So she gave him the role of a Bandra boy representing the elite class that looked down on the Dharavi rapper. A small part, but Sambhav comes across as a very natural actor. We will be seeing a lot more of this actor in the future.
When we asked Sambhav about this, he revealed, “Zoya is extremely polite, kind and very professional. It was very humbling to see her kindness for a newcomer like me. I have huge respect for her. It matters a ton to a newcomer such as myself.”

Munnawar Bhagat’s ‘Gaav Pudhe Aahe’ is a heartwarming story
The press meet of upcoming Marathi film – GAAV PUDHE AAHE witnessed an unusual phenomenon taking place with the producer, director himself – Munnawar Bhagat addressing the group of select Bollywood media.

His first Hindi film Lakhon Hain Yahan Dilwale had many songs, and then he followed up with a Marathi film, and then followed up with a string of Marathi films.
Munnawar Bhagat announced, ‘GAAV PUDHE AAHE’ is a significant film for me as I believe in my rooted concepts and have introduced two newcomers. Next is that I am planning a full length Hindi feature film, the concept of which is already locked up in my mind and hope to roll it on floors very soon.”
“The entire marketing and project consultancy of Gaav Pudhe Aahe is handled by Girish Wankhede who heads Entity One and is instrumental in pushing this film to new marketing verticals,” said Bhagat.
This Press meet was one big event with several celebrities attending it with full force.Along with the lead actor Swapnil Vishnu Joshi, the others included veteran director Aruna Raje, Neeta Puri, Sunil Pal, Vije Bhatia, Richa Sharma, Nikita Rawal, Agni Pawar, Surabhi Sharma, Sanjeev Shrivastav, Sameer Shrivastav, Rajesh Dhabre,Shefali Ghosh .
