The Everlasting Success of Anupamaa

Rupali Ganguly's Journey from Comedy to Complex Characters
Rupali Ganguly began her television journey over two decades ago with the show Sukanya. However, it was her iconic role as Monisha Sarabhai in the cult-favorite comedy Sarabhai vs Sarabhai that catapulted her to widespread fame. Known for her comic timing and endearing screen presence, she became a household name.
With Anupamaa, Rupali has not only reinvented herself but has also embraced one of the most emotionally layered and powerful roles of her career. The show has given her an opportunity to showcase her range and connect with audiences on a deeper level, making it a professionally enriching and personally fulfilling chapter in her career.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui Defends Bollywood, Says 'We Shouldn't Need Validation From West'
Last Updated: Nawazuddin Siddiqui defended Bollywood, saying it doesn't need Western validation. He praised actors like Naseeruddin Shah and Irrfan. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is widely regarded as one of the finest actors in Indian cinema. He has often been compared to late legendary actor Irrfan — a parallel many see as a compliment. But Nawazuddin has his perspective on such comparisons. He also said that the film industry doesn't need any validation from the West, asserting that 'good films and bad films" are being made in both Bollywood and Hollywood. Recently, Nawazuddin Siddiqui defended the Indian film industry, noting the great actors the country has seen; namely Naseeruddin Shah, Manoj Bajpayee, Irrfan, and others. 'We shouldn't need validation from the West. There are many good films made here and many good films made there, and many bad films made here and many bad films made there — this is a fact. And we have such great actors. There are so many great actors whose names you have mentioned like Naseer saab, Manoj bhai, Om Puri saab, Irrfan bhai," he said. Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays a struggling actor in his next Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be next seen in Aditya Kripalani's upcoming film, Main Actor Nahi Hoon. Nawaz takes on the role of a struggling actor in Germany who, through FaceTime, becomes an acting coach to a woman in Mumbai. The project's unique premise involved shooting in real time across two cities, a challenge Siddiqui embraced wholeheartedly. Speaking to The Indian Express about playing a struggling actor, the actor admitted the role felt instinctively familiar. 'It's very easy because that phase was very long. I was a struggling actor for 12–15 years. I'm still struggling, though in different ways. But yes, when you have first-hand experience, it becomes quite easy to play a character," he said. Drawing from his own journey, Siddiqui highlighted how lived experience can enrich an actor's performance — especially when portraying characters who walk a path one has personally known. He himself admitted, 'The cold affected my performance. I struggled to pronounce English words like 'process' due to the freezing temperatures. Delivering chunky Shakespearean dialogues in English was tough, despite my experience with Hindi Shakespeare plays. The cold made it hard to get the words out right." On the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will next be seen in Raat Akeli Hai 2 and Thama. First Published: August 10, 2025, 16:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Anubhav Sinha Urges Film Industry To Build Strong Theatrical Ecosystem To Avoid Economic Collapse
Anubhav Sinha discussed the evolving Indian film industry, highlighting challenges from OTT platforms and piracy, emphasising the need to revive single-screen theaters. Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, who is known for 'Mulk', Thappad', 'Bheed' and others is contemplating on the ecosystem and the economics of the Indian film industry. The filmmaker recently took to his Instagram, and shared a video of himself in which he is talking to the camera. He shared how the film industry has always evolved with time and has taken new media in its stride in each era. However, the medium of OTT is something that the industry is finding difficult to navigate. He said, 'There's a big debate going on nowadays, Theatre vs OTT, I don't understand this debate. When the movies started, they used to come in theatres. Everyone used to watch it only in theatres. Then Doordarshan came. They said, 'We'll also show the films'. We said, 'Welcome'. Then satellite TV came. they said, 'We'll also show the films. We said, 'Welcome'. Then multiplexes came. They also said the same thing, we welcomed them as well. And, it's no different with OTT. So where did this problem come from all of a sudden? What is this debate?". He said that the makers don't have a problem with showing a film on OTT because when everyone was buying OTT, no one was upset. He further mentioned, 'Now suddenly OTT said, 'We don't want so many films, and we won't give so much money'. Until now, our entire economics was dependent on OTT. So now we have a problem. Whether it's cinema hall, Doordarshan, satellite TV, OTT, multiplexes, these are all business endeavours. They will make their own system. And filmmaking is a business endeavour. We are dependent on them, we are dependent on them. So why should we talk about democracy in this? Democracy has already become meaningless in the world". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anubhav Sinha (@anubhavsinhaa) He said that the debate should be, that the next day after a film's release, why does it come on illegal platforms like Telegram? He went on, 'No one talks about it. Neither does the industry talk about it. We have never protested for it. The next day in the morning, on every mobile phone, on Telegram, every film and every OTT series releases. So are they such big people that we can't stop them. There is no debate about this. And I think a bigger debate than this is, that the biggest population of the country is not able to afford multiplexes. Multiplex said that we will make 5 star cinemas. That was their business model. Whether it is working for them or not, that is their problem. But when they made 5 star cinema halls, then all the single screens crumbled. It was a disaster". The filmmaker said that once during his visit to Varanasi, he was heartbroken to find only one single screen of Anand Nandiram. He shared, 'It is finished. So now, the middle class people don't have that much money. They are scared to go to multiplexes. Where can they go in 5 star cinemas? They don't have the courage. So when multiplexes started, the government gave them support. They gave a tax rebate. There was a tax vacation for so many years. What else was there? I think this is a big business opportunity. Where did those single screens go?". He continued, 'I think this is the time when those cinema halls need to be revived. Because the middle class people, or even the middle class people, and the middle class people, have two options. Either you go to 5 star cinemas and watch a movie, or you watch it on your phone. There is no third option. If you go to YouTube, where Aamir has done a new experiment, which is a very good thing, and they are playing so much on the front foot that maybe they will have to do the same in the future. And they play on the front foot. Any business is done on the front foot. Today, they like YouTube because there is democracy there. But that might change". He said, 'If there is a 4-star movie, then YouTube will say, '80% of the revenue share will be ours and 20% will be yours'. Or if they don't show all the movies, then we will have a problem with YouTube that every business model is going to work in its own direction, today or tomorrow. So, we will have to make our business model as filmmakers so robust that it remains insulated from all these kinds of changes. And that will only happen when we depend on the theater. We keep saying that cinema is going on in the South. Because there, there are single-screen theaters that they can afford. They take chances that maybe this movie will be good. So, they go to take chances. Now, people are not able to afford to take chances in Hindi cinema". 'So, I think the two most important debates are how the film comes on Telegram on Saturday and Sunday. And, how can we afford to buy the tickets for our poor people who are middle class. The rest are all business plans of people. Nowadays, capitalism also wears the kurta of society. So, we should not talk about democracy too much. We should talk about how we will get money if we watch movies. So, there is something that we need to do about these two things. I think this is the real debate", he added.

Is Rajinikanth's Coolie Pushing Back Hari Hara Veera Mallu's OTT Release? Here's What We Know
Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu OTT release on Amazon Prime Video may be delayed as Rajinikanth's Coolie gears up for its August 14 theatrical release. The Pawan Kalyan-starrer Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which released in theatres on July 24, 2025, failed to make a mark at the box office. While fans were expecting its quick arrival on streaming, the film's OTT debut may now be delayed. According to a report by One India, the historical action drama was slated to stream on Amazon Prime Video from August 15. However, with Rajinikanth's highly anticipated Coolie creating massive buzz ahead of its August 14 theatrical release, the platform is reportedly considering postponing Hari Hara Veera Mallu's premiere. The new potential streaming dates being discussed are August 21 or August 28, 2025. A Tale of an Outlaw and a Diamond Hari Hara Veera Mallu follows the story of Veera Mallu, an outlaw with shades of Robin Hood. Initially working for the King of Kollur, Veera's courage catches the attention of Qutub Shah, who entrusts him with a daring mission — to steal the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond from Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The film offers an alternative historical twist, intertwining the diamond's heist with Veera Mallu's personal vendetta. The narrative explores whether he will succeed in his mission and the emotional burdens he carries. The movie stars Pawan Kalyan in the titular role, with Bobby Deol playing the antagonist. The ensemble cast also features Nidhhi Agerwal, Sathyaraj, Vikramjeet Virk, Ayyappa P Sharma, Dalip Tahil, Sachin Khedekar, Raghu Babu, and others. The Coolie Factor The possible postponement is largely due to the release of Rajinikanth's Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The Tamil-language action thriller sees Rajinikanth as Deva, a former daily-wage worker with a dark past who has been living in the shadows for over three decades. When his friend Rajasekar lands in danger, Deva resurfaces to seek revenge, unearthing secrets about a deadly bio-chemical weapon. The star-studded cast includes Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra Rao, Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Reba Monica John, and Rachita Ram. With Coolie poised for a massive opening on August 14, 2025, Amazon Prime Video might hold off on releasing Hari Hara Veera Mallu to avoid splitting audience attention — making a late-August OTT debut more likely. view comments First Published: August 10, 2025, 16:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
