Mandala Murders, set in the town of Charandaspur, follows two detectives as they solve the mystery of a series of ritualistic murders, connected to a secret society that has been present in the shadows for centuries. In the trailer, Vaani Kapoor's Rea Thomas and her partner Vikram Singh (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) are seen dealing with political pressure as they investigate a series of murders, only to uncover that they're part of a chilling conspiracy, not ordinary crimes.

Co-director and creator Gopi Puthran opened up about the making of Mandala Murders and said, 'From the start, our goal was to build a world that feels both unfamiliar and real, a place where every truth has multiple layers and every answer raises new questions. Crafting the atmosphere of tension and symbolism, and seeing such a gifted cast bring the story to life, has been incredibly rewarding. Partnering with Netflix has given us the platform to realise this vision on a grand scale.'
Co-director Manan Rawat added, 'Each episode peels back another piece of the puzzle, constantly challenging viewers' assumptions. Vaani, Vaibhav, and Surveen deliver performances rich with emotion and intensity, bringing authenticity to their complex characters. Netflix enabled us to create a visually stunning world that also pulses with emotional depth — every frame adds to the suspense, and every character leaves a lasting impression.'

Gandhi is our The Crown, says producer Sameer Nair: 'Richard Attenborough made it via a narrow lens'
Gandhi, the upcoming series directed by Hansal Mehta, will follow India's struggle for independence while providing an in-depth portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi at different stages in his life, says producer Sameer Nair, comparing the show's narrative depth to the acclaimed international series The Crown. Gandhi stars Pratik Gandhi in the titular role. Starring Pratik Gandhi in the titular role, the series promises an exploration of Gandhi's life and the diverse characters who shaped India's fight for freedom. Nair, the managing director of Applause Entertainment, said while Gandhi is a globally recognised figure, the show seeks to present a 'deeply personal story' that goes beyond his iconic status. 'When (Richard) Attenborough made Gandhi, he had only two and a half hours to make it, and he ended up making a story about Gandhi via a narrow lens. What we are hoping to do with this is to also tell the story of Indian independence, and there are so many other characters involved. Nair said they are planning to make the show into three seasons. "It's not just Gandhi, it's also about people who are with him, who were against him, the British and the whole situation. So, these three seasons are more like our The Crown (Netflix's hit show on the British royal family),' Nair told PTI in an interview. Mehta has enjoyed great success in the streaming space with critically-acclaimed shows such as Scam and Scoop, and Nair hopes Gandhi would turn out to be a show that the whole world watches. Gandhi will have its world premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September. The banner is known for shows such as Vikramaditya Motwane's Black Warrant, Nagesh Kukunoor's The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination, Hansal Mehta's Scam 1992, and Pankaj Tripathi-starrer Criminal Justice among others. Gandhi is based on renowned historian and author Ramachandra Guha's books – Gandhi Before India and Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World. The show will also feature Pratik Gandhi's wife Bhamini Oza as Kasturba Gandhi and Harry Potter star Tom Felton as Josiah Oldfield Nair informed that through three seasons they hope to track Gandhi's journey from 1888 through 1947. The first season is dedicated to the years 1888 to 1915, while subsequent seasons will cover 1915 to 1932 and finally, 1932 to 1947, he said. 'Gandhi is going to be a big one, and now it's ready. Hansal is there, Pratik is playing the role, and AR Rahman is doing the music. So, it's all come together quite well. Hopefully, that should be ready by the end of August. "Then we'll take it out there and see how to put it out. But that will be a big one. Season one is about the younger Gandhi that you don't know about, it's a young adult story, we call season one Mohan to Mahatma." Nair said the first season is about an 18-year-old who goes to London to study law. "So, it's not the Mahatma you see on the currency note or the person that we all know about. It's a different guy, and how he becomes that (Mahatma). So, it's very fascinating,' Nair added. Nair said they are hoping to release the first season of the show in India by December-end. 'It is quite an expensive project. It's not easy to do this. We've taken some time writing it because you are writing about extremely famous and large public figures, and it needs to be done (right). "We tell human stories. We take the camera very close to the people and we try to tell human stories. So it's not about the great, it's about the people, and how they became great,' he said, adding that they haven't shot for the subsequent seasons of Gandhi yet.

Jacqueline Fernandez Kickstarts The Weekend With A Morning Workout Session
Every time we are on the lookout for some fitness inspiration, our search ends on Jacqueline Fernandez's social media timeline. The Fateh actress swears her fitness routine and her Instagram timeline proves that through and through. Come what may, she always takes time out for a productive workout session and her weekends are no different. Photo Credit: On Saturday, Jacqueline hit the gym first thing in the morning to kick off her weekend on the right note. She shared a picture of herself from the gym on her Instagram story. The image featured Jacqueline wearing a blue sports bralette with a pair of matching gym shorts. Her hair was neatly tied in a bun as she clicked a mirror selfie before starting her workout session. She captioned the story, "Always do the hardest thing first in the day." In another note, she added, "Workout time!!" If you are inspired by Jacqueline's grit to do the hardest thing - working out in the morning. Then here are five benefits of getting a morning workout done: 1. Elevates mood and reduces stress: Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, which are "feel-good" neurotransmitters. It sets a positive and optimistic tone for the day and reduces stress. 2. Boosts metabolism and aids weight management: A morning workout can kickstart your metabolism, helping your body burn more calories throughout the day. Exercising in the morning, especially before breakfast, accelerates fat burning and contributes to reaching fitness goals. 3. Enhances focus and mental clarity: Physical activity improves focus and concentration. It makes you more alert and productive during the workday. 4. Promotes better sleep: Regular morning exercise helps regulate your circadian rhythm (your internal body clock) and balance hormones, leading to a more restful and quality sleep at night. 5. Fosters consistency: Exercising in the morning makes it easier to stick to a routine, as there are fewer distractions, work obligations, or fatigue to interrupt your workout compared to later in the day.
