    Anil Kapoor is riding high as his recent action-drama Subedaar has officially bagged the Best Feature Film award for India at the prestigious Asian Academy Creative Awards. The veteran actor, who delivers a gripping performance as retired soldier Subedaar Arjun Maurya, has also secured a nomination in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category.

Following this national win, the film will now advance to the international round, where the grand winners will be crowned at a star-studded gala at Singapore’s Capitol Theatre this December. With the awards showcasing the best of Asia-Pacific content, the recognition for Subedaar highlights the growing global reach and influence of Indian storytelling on the digital stage.

    Makers of Prahaar unveil the patriotic first song Mere Rehte

    Following the buzz around its intense trailer, the makers of ‘Prahaar – The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam’ have dropped the film’s first track, ‘Mere Rehte’. Composed and sung by the soulful Vishal Mishra with evocative lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the song serves as a musical tribute to the courage required to protect one’s nation. The music video is deeply moving, using powerful visuals of Mumbai to transport viewers back to the city’s most challenging moments, including the scars of the 26/11 terror attacks.

    Rather than focusing on a soldier or a police officer, the song highlights the journey of a lawyer—Ujjwal Nikam—who chose to defend his country through the corridors of the justice system. The visuals capture the collective memory of the city, showing the weight of the past and the resilience that followed. It portrays the protagonist as a shield for the nation, emphasizing that one doesn’t always need a uniform to stand as a guardian against threats.

    Opening up about the emotional resonance of the track, Vishal Mishra shared that his deep love for the country made the composition feel incredibly natural. He noted that the spirit of ‘Prahaar’ is built on duty and bravery, with the song reinforcing the message that as long as citizens stand tall, the nation remains protected. Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films, the movie features Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi in lead roles. Directed by Avinash Arun, the film is scheduled to arrive in theatres on October 16, 2026.

  • John Goodman remembers his early days of friendship with Bruce Willis

    John Goodman remembers his early days of friendship with Bruce Willis

    Hollywood veteran John Goodman recently opened up about his enduring bond with Bruce Willis, offering a heartfelt look back at their days as struggling actors in New York. Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film Digger, the 74-year-old actor reflected on the early 1980s when the two were just starting out. Goodman recalled the moment Willis landed his career-defining role in the hit television series Moonlighting, noting that even then, their conversations were entirely consumed by their shared passion for the craft of acting.

    Goodman reminisced about the high-energy personality Willis brought to their social circle, even recalling a moment at a bar where Willis jumped over a railing in sheer excitement. The actor fondly remembered Willis’ time as a bartender at Chelsea Central on the Upper West Side, describing him as a natural performer who could keep a crowd in the palm of his hand. According to Goodman, Willis was not just a great bartender who kept the drinks flowing, but a magnetic presence who made every night feel like a show. He openly expressed his deep affection for his friend, stating, “He took care of me, I love him so much.”

    The two actors, who later shared the screen in the 2017 action-comedy Once Upon a Time in Venice, maintained a close connection as they both navigated their paths to stardom. While Goodman eventually followed Willis to Los Angeles to pursue his own career, he noted that he hasn’t seen his old friend in some time, largely due to his own relocation away from the city. Their bond remains a testament to their long history in the industry, stretching back to their first meeting in 1979.

    Bruce Willis stepped away from his legendary acting career in 2022 following a diagnosis of aphasia, which later progressed to frontotemporal dementia. While the industry continues to celebrate the iconic performances of both stars—from Willis’ turn in Die Hard to Goodman’s acclaimed work in Roseanne—these personal reflections offer a rare, intimate glimpse into the brotherhood they forged long before they became household names.

John expressed his deep regret that Kamat, who passed away on August 17, 2020, after a two-year battle with liver cirrhosis, could not be here to witness the lasting impact of their collaboration.

    Force remains a significant film in Bollywood’s action genre, not just for its intense storytelling but for introducing audiences to a powerhouse talent. The film marked the explosive debut of Vidyut Jammwal, who stepped into the spotlight as the menacing antagonist Vishnu. His performance set the stage for his career as one of the industry’s leading action stars. The plot followed ACP Yashvardhan, played by John, a relentless Narcotics Control Bureau officer who finds his life unraveling after taking down a drug lord, sparking a brutal vendetta from the dealer’s vengeful brother.

    Beyond the adrenaline-pumping sequences, the film is also remembered for the tragic love story between John’s character and Maya, played by Genelia Deshmukh. Her character’s heartbreaking death in the climax added a layer of emotional gravity that defined the film’s unique appeal. As fans revisit the movie today, John’s touching post serves as a reminder of the creative bond he shared with Nishikant Kamat, ending with a poignant wish that the team continues to make the late filmmaker proud.
