As the film nears release, attention remains firmly on both Vijay Deverakonda performance and how he shares space with rising talents like Venkitesh.

From Seoul to Moscow: How an Indie Film from Madagascar Stole the Spotlight at the International Film Festival
Indie Film 'Dreaming Photo Studio' An Unlikely Film Journey: Why 'Dreaming Photo Studio' Was Made Director Jeong Choshin , who had long worked in commercial films, was encouraged by his wife, a screenwriter, to explore a new creative challenge in independent, art-house cinema . Wanting to step away from conventional storytelling, Jeong chose Madagascar for its untouched beauty and the purity of its people, which fit perfectly with a story about everyday individuals searching for their dreams and meaning. The film tells the journey of three ordinary people: a small-town photographer, an unknown singer, and a street food vendor. Traveling across Madagascar, they offer family portraits to local residents, while each reflects on their own aspirations and personal growth. Instead of hiring professional actors, Jeong cast real people who naturally brought authenticity and warmth, adding depth and charm to the story. Screening at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Bringing Madagascar to Seoul by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Conocoto: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo On July 29th, around 60 staff members of Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs gathered to watch Dreaming Photo Studio . The screening immersed the audience in Madagascar's breathtaking landscapes - from fiery sunsets to towering baobab trees and vast rice paddies that reminded some of Korean countryside. The visuals captivated everyone so much that director Jeong humorously noted, "The scenery is so beautiful, you might forget about the acting!" Jeong revealed that every member of the film crew-from camera operators to sound technicians-was a first-timer with no prior experience. The dedication and passion of these "civilians" turned a modest project into an international success story. The Africa Section Two team at the ministry organized the event to deepen Korean officials' appreciation of Madagascar's culture and nature. Moscow International Film Festival: From Seoul to the Global Stage In April 2025, Dreaming Photo Studio was officially invited to the prestigious 47th Moscow International Film Festival, held from April 17th to 24th. The film competed among over 200 films from 50 countries and gained attention for its sincere portrayal of simple people chasing dreams against the stunning backdrop of Madagascar's landscapes. While many films at the festival had large teams and budgets, this indie film stood out because its entire cast and crew, except the director, were beginners. Jeong described the invitation as "a miracle," emphasizing how the film's genuine emotions and unpolished yet heartfelt performances resonated strongly with both audiences and critics alike.

Image credits: X In a proud moment on the global scale, an Indian gin made from harvested rainwater in Cherrapunji has won the Double Gold medal at the SIP (Spirits International Prestige) Awards 2025 held in Irvine, California. The awards are the world's only major spirits competition judged exclusively by consumers, where the spirits are evaluated through double-blind tastings by over 300 everyday drinkers. The awards received over 1,200 entries from over 60 countries, and Cherrapunji Gin was among the less than 2% of spirits that achieved the coveted Double Gold, scoring a place in the top tier of global craft spirits. 'This award is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the people who enjoy spirits in real life,' said Mayukh Hazarika, founder of Raincheck Earth Co., the company behind Cherrapunji Gin. 'To have our gin — rooted in Meghalaya's rain and local identity — resonate with everyday drinkers in California is a reminder that authenticity and craft can connect across cultures,' he added. What makes the victory even more notable and memorable is the fact that the gin is made using harvest rainwater from Cherrapunji, one of the wettest places on Earth. Crafted in collaboration with a Dutch master distiller, the drink also includes native botanicals such as Khasi mandarin, Himalayan juniper and smoked tea from Lushai hills and Kaji (aromatic lime) from the valleys of Assam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Flexible MBA by SRM—Apply Now!

Salman Khan's bodyguard Shera reportedly has a net worth of Rs 100 crore and owns a Range Rover worth 1.4 crore; knows everything about the star, even the women in his life
Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars in the country and while his aura is unmatched, even people around him have eventually got quite popular with time. For instance, his bodyguard Shera is no less than a celebrity himself. Reports state that he has a net worth of Rs 100 crore and he even owns a range rover worth Rs 1.4 crore. But Khan has managed to earn the loyalty of people around him. Shera has vouched to protect him at any cost, till his last breath. He has often shared his unwavering commitment towards the star and their bonding is hard to miss. His real name is Gurmeet Singh Jolly. His association with Salman started in 1997 after Sohail Khan hired him to manage security for Salman in Indore. Before that, they had briefly met when Shera was guarding Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves during a visit to India. As quoted by Screen, Shera recalled, 'I had just set up my own company—Tiger Security—and that year (1995) Sohailbhai (Khan's brother) called me because he wanted someone to go with Salman for shows and all. Sohailbhai was impressed with me, seeing the way I talk and all. He asked me: 'Eh yaar, bhai ke saath tu rahega kya? Rahega na? (Will you stay with bhai? You'll stay, won't you?)'.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 500Mbps fibre broadband: £20pm, £22pm Apr'26, £24pm Apr'27. 24m.

It was not possible to keep because of the crowds. So I had to cut my hair. I started wearing a cap. We went for a show and gelled well.' At the Bodyguard trailer launch, Shera declared his readiness to protect Salman at any cost, saying, 'I am ready to take a bullet for him. But Bhai is the real-life bodyguard; if push comes to shove, he can take 10 bullets for his family and friends.' Salman, in turn, shared the deep trust he places in Shera: 'I can trust him with everything. I can trust him with money, I can trust him with women, I can trust him with my family, I can trust him with my life. I can trust him before alcohol and after alcohol.' Salman also recounted a humorous episode from one night when Shera, intoxicated, challenged everyone to a boxing match. 'I remember one night, everybody had had a little too much to drink, and suddenly, they wanted to spar. I heard sounds of bodies hitting the floor, and saw my brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri 's mouth split open because Shera was in total form. He then called me over, and taunted me by saying, 'No bodyguard around to protect you today'. I told him to chill, but he wouldn't. So I wore the gloves, and saw Shera running towards me. I got a lucky shot in, and I knew that I couldn't give him the chance to hit me back, so I kept punching him while he was down. Shera was so drunk, he started crying. He went into the kitchen, came out with a toothpick, and started slashing himself with it. 'Maalik, I can do anything for you', he said,' Salman recalled with a laugh. Even on his very first day working with Salman, Shera needed a little extra help to keep up with the work that comes with Khan's superstar status. He shared with Mint , 'I was little tired. He gave me a pill. Bole, 'Have this'. One dose of something he gave me. I had it. You can't believe it: I ran 8 km in front of his car to clear the road (of fans). That was the job I did with Bhai.' At the Bodyguard launch event, Salman teasingly asked Shera about the 'woman' he was guarding when they first met, to which Shera replied with a mischievous smile, 'Which one?' Despite Shera knowing all about his 'Maalik,' Salman doesn't mind his bodyguard speaking to the media. Shera revealed, 'I never talked to the press actually. He told me, if you want you can talk. I said 'No, no'. Now, you see, things are changed. I will never write the book Salmanbhai joked about, that if I write, he will be doomed. Don't try to lead me there. It won't work.'
