Malvika Sharma makes a stylish comeback on Instagram
After a quiet spell following her role as Devi in the Sudheer Babu and Sunil-starrer Harom Hara, Malvika Sharma is back in the spotlight—not with a new film yet, but through her sizzling Instagram updates.
Though her gritty action drama didn't quite click at the box office and movie offers slowed down, Malvika is proving she's still very much in the game. Her latest photo drop has caught fans' attention, featuring her in a vibrant orange bralette paired with black shorts.
Set against a lush green park, she kept it casual yet stunningly hot, sporting sunglasses and striking bold poses that flaunted her toned physique and confident style.
While the screen awaits her next move, Malvika's social media presence is stronger than ever. With looks like these and growing buzz, casting directors might soon be knocking on her door again.

It was the best outdoor ever: Sharmila Tagore on Aranyer Din Ratri
You entered the world of films with Satyajit Ray's Apur Sansar (1959). How did working with him that early in your career shape your sensibilities as an artiste? Although I was very young, I used to read a lot of books. I was what in Bengali they say paaka — more grown up than your age. To work with Manik da was a learning because you see him, and the entire unit… they were all very well informed about their profession… art and photography. I was 13 but even then, that process of osmosis… just by being there you absorb so much. What continues to make Ray's cinema relevant to present-day audience? He continues to be contemporary. At Cannes, a restored 4k version of Aranyer Din Ratri (1970) was shown. That was special. Even his other films like Devi (1960) and the Apu trilogy… the mother-son relationship in Aparajito (1956)… the sixth, seventh and eighth generation reacts to it because the romance of Apur Sansar is unforgettable. The Music Room (1958), for instance, is about an aristocrat who would rather break than bend. All these films touch you deeply at a human level. From the dialogues to music, they are all technically quite superior and once it is restored, it is as good as new. It speaks to today's generation also. Mahanagar (1963) in English is called The Mighty City; Seemabaddha (1971) is Company Limited. All these films can be understood today. Tell us about your experience at the Kechki Rest House where Aranyer Din Ratri was shot. I cannot tell you how hot it was. It was April-May. There was no electricity. We put up a generator at night or whenever we wanted because my room had a cooler. That helped. The boys — Soumitra, Samit Bhanja, Rabi Ghosh, Shubhendu — stayed in a shed with a tin roof. They called themselves Robi pora/ bhaja (burnt/ fried), but we were all happy because the work was so good. We worked early in the morning from 5.30 to 9, and then from 3 to 6. The rest of the time we just chatted. We visited the Santhals, danced with them. We could hear the elephants in the forest. It was the best outdoor ever. May 2 was Satyajit Ray's birthday and we celebrated. Simi got a cake from Kolkata. Also Read | At Aranyer Din Ratri's Cannes' premiere, Sharmila Tagore says, 'I, Simi Garewal are the only survivors' You made a comeback after 13 years with Gulmohar in 2023. What do you make of the OTT revolution? It is a good thing. So many new people got work, but again it is falling into a trap, I think, because people like Rahul Chittella, after doing Gulmohar, have been running pillar to post for his next film. OTT is also going for big stars. The Royals, for instance, was underwhelming yet you can see how expensive it was. But Netflix bought it and is showing it, but when someone with a good script goes, they are shown the door. I don't know who chooses the content. Puratawn (2025) is reportedly your last Bengali film. Is that true? What led to this decision? I didn't say if it's Bengali or Hindi; just that it's probably my last. We act with our entire body, so to speak. Physical fitness is important for an actor. In Puratawn, I had to climb a three-storeyed house. We were shooting on the top floor and climbing those steps at least three times a day. I could do it, but now I don't know.

Made in Rs 150 crore, this film couldn't even earn Rs 3 crore on Day 1, became box office flop, was first film to..., lead actors were... Akshay Kumar was the first actor to return to the silver screen after the second wave of COVID-19, with the release of Bellbottom. The film was largely received, but its box office business remained lukewarm due to Covid protocols and limited capacity. Release in 2021, the film made on a budget of Rs 150 crore, minted just Rs 2.75 crore on day 1. Bell Bottom did not release in Maharashtra, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Kerala as theatres were shut in those states due to pandemic. Also, the film was released in other states with 50 per cent occupancy. Overall, the Akshay Kumar-starrer earned Rs 50 crore at the worldwide box office, and Rs 30.63 crore in India, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama. Set in the 80s, Bell Bottom was opened to mix reviews. The spy thriller is about a real-life hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight in 1984. Akshay Kumar portrays the role of a RAW agent who helps get the Indian hostages back to the country. The film also stars Lara Dutta, who essays the role of former Prime Minster Indira Gandhi, who was in power at that time. While Vaani Kapoor plays Akshay's wife, Huma Qureshi, Adil Hussain and Aniruddh Dave also portray pivotal roles in the film. Helmed by Ranjit Bell Bottom is bankrolled by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani under their respective banners Pooja Entertainment and Emmay Entertainment. After its theatrical release, Akshay Kumar's espionage thriller is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. While updating about its digital release, Vijay Subramaniam, Director and Head, Content, Amazon Prime Video, India said, 'The movie has been received well by the audiences, and it's our endeavour to take this story to a worldwide audience. Packed with a riveting script and great performances, it is one of the stellar additions to our content library.'

Did Saif Ali Khan subtly weigh in on Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy Vanga Spirit row?: 'I hate coming home and...'
Deepika Padukone and Prabhas were set to reunite on screen once again following their Kalki 2898 AD stint. The actor and mother of one, was officially brought on board for the Prabhas-starrer Spirit, earlier this month, set to be helmed by Animal fame director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. However, in a matter of a few weeks things seemed to have soured to a point of controversy. Trouble seemingly began when Deepika, as per multiple media reports, allegedly made work demands that were taxing to Sandeep's sensibilities. A fat ₹20 crore fee, 8-hour work days and an alleged refusal to mouth dialogues in Telugu, collectively got the director's goat. Soon enough, reports started circulating about Deepika having walked out of the film. What really sealed the controversy in though, was the overnight announcement crowning Triptii Dimri as the female lead opposite Prabhas. A post shared by Triptii Dimri (@tripti_dimri) Things seemingly got worse when Sandeep himself penned an all but direct jab at Deepika, alleging she has disclosed details of the film whilst also running a PR campaign directed against Triptii — he also went so far as to conclude the note with the saying, "khundak mein billi khamba noche". In the days that followed, many have directly or indirectly, weighed in on the Deepika-Vanga row. For instance Ajay Devgn and Kajol were the first to state how much of the industry is sympathetic to demands of work-life balance, especially when the actors in question having young kids at home. The latest to join the list may just be Saif Ali Khan. During a recent chat at the Arab Media Summit, Saif reflected on the importance of choosing to give time to his family, despite pressing work schedules. 'I hate coming home and seeing the kids already asleep. That's not success. Success is being able to say, 'No, I need to go home now to catch that half hour with them' ", he said, adding, "We get four holidays a year, and when my kids are on break, I don't work. That time is sacred. I'm at that crazy age where I have to call both my mom and my children. You think it's just your parents you have to check on — then you realise it's both".

'Success and privilege, for me, is being able to say no to work and yes to time with my family', shared Saif.
