Actor Rahul Dev, who is currently seen playing the role of Inspector Hooda in the web series ‘Hunter – Tootega Nahi Todega’, shared how he was inspired by his real-life incidents while preparing for the role. He also spoke about getting injured on the sets for shooting for action sequences.
Rahul said: “I have literally grown up in a household where I have watched my illustrious late father go to work daily. In fact, my desire was to sit for the civil services entrance in college, observing the pressure on him. His work hours weren’t defined and there were no Sundays.

Sidharth Malhotra, the star of the upcoming Amazon Prime Video Original Shershaah, has revealed that the inspiration for taking on the role as the heroic Captain Vikram Batra came from a meeting with Vikram’s real-life twin brother, Vishal Batra, five years ago.
Shershaah, an original war drama on the true-life events of the Kargil War between India and Pakistan in 1999, tells the story of Captain Vikram Batra, a celebrated Indian army hero who selflessly lost his life whilst saving a fellow soldier during a war which would etch itself into Indian history. At just 24, Vikram became a symbol of the patriotism and heroism associated with India’s triumph against the odds against the Pakistani army who took up a far more advantageous position at higher ground and were able to fire down at vulnerable Indian forces. Despite this, the Indian army were triumphant in claiming victory and Captain Vikram...

The recent Delhi riots ended up with 53 individuals dead, and are considered the most lethal Hindu-Muslim riots since 1950. Aneek Chaudhuri directs a short that uses the riots as its base.
In very minimalist fashion, we watch a middle-aged man sitting on his chair, watching from the window, while the sounds of riots are heard all over. The camera then makes an hard zoom-in as he begins drinking from a cup. The camera moves back a bit again, and we watch him picking a cigarette and putting it in his mouth. He then realizes that he has only one last match available, but he cannot go out due to the riots. What he does, is call his wife and asks her to bring him matches on her way back, in a rather egoistical request since the riots are rather intense. In an effort to not hear the noise and pass the time until she returns,...
