Tom Holland says 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' will feel like 'old times' with return to classic filmmaking
Speaking with the YouTube channel Flip Your Wig, Holland described the upcoming installment as a 'breath of fresh air.' 'I'm obviously over the moon and so excited,' he said. 'Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal.'
After the high-concept multiversal chaos of No Way Home, which left Peter Parker erased from the memories of those closest to him, Brand New Day appears poised to reboot the hero's journey in a more grounded fashion. A key part of that reset? Filmmaking that steps out of the studio and back into the streets.

Shweta Tiwari Recalls Shooting For 72 Hours Straight: ‘Ektaa Kapoor Didn't Sleep…'
Last Updated: Shweta Tiwari talked about her gruelling TV shoot days, and revealed that she would get paid for 45 days in a 30-day month. She also praised Ektaa Kapoor's unmatched dedication. Television actress Shweta Tiwari recently shared her experiences with demanding shoot schedules in the television industry. She recalled working for 72 hours continuously while shooting for daily soaps. Shweta also praised Ektaa Kapoor for her relentless hard work and dedication, and revealed that she wouldn't sleep either! In a recent podcast on the Bharti TV YouTube channel, Shweta Tiwari talked about the intense working conditions, mentioning the television industry's reputation for never sleeping. She recalled her schedule, working 72 hours straight, and being paid for 45 days in a month because of her exhaustive shifts from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and then from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day. 'Hum log poori industry main famous hai ki koi sota nahi tha. Mai 72 hours shoot karti thi. 30 days ka mahina hota hai, mereko 45 days ka cheque milta tha. Subah 7 se shaam ke 7 tak ek hota tha, shaam 7 se agle din subah 7 tak do hote the. (We were known across the entire industry for never sleeping. I used to shoot for 72 hours straight. A month has 30 days, but I used to get paid for 45 days. One shift would be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and then another from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day)," she said. Shweta Tiwari Praises Ektaa Kapoor's Dedication Shweta also commended Ektaa Kapoor's commitment, noting that it wasn't only the actors who had such gruelling schedule. Ektaa, managing 22 shows, rarely slept and was always available to answer calls promptly. Her detailed explanations ensured that no one went wrong, and her passion was evident during rehearsals where she often delivered lines better than the actors. 'It wasn't just us actors who worked like that, Ektaa did it too. Ektaa didn't sleep; she had 22 shows running. Whenever you called her, she'd answer in just one ring. She would explain everything in detail, and once Ektaa explained something, there was no way you could go wrong. Whenever she delivered a line during rehearsals, it felt like she was saying it better than you. That's how passionate she was!" said Shweta. Shweta concluded by reflecting on how Ektaa used to create shows to satisfy her creativity and imagination rather than just for audience approval. She lamented that now, it's all about TRPs, with content being driven by viewer ratings rather than creative satisfaction. Shweta Tiwari is known most popularly for her portrayal of Prerna in the television show 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay', which aired from 2001 to 2008. She also emerged as the winner in Bigg Boss 4. Shweta has also starred in other television shows such as Parvarrish, Begusarai, Mere Dad Ki Dulhan, and others. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Suneel, who directed and produced the film, spoke about this unexpected change in casting during a conversation with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel. He hinted that media gossip and personal issues in Akshay's life played a big part in the actor's decision to leave. Film was planned after 'Andaaz' Suneel explained that the film was developed soon after their earlier hit. 'Barsaat was designed immediately after Andaaz to again be a triangular love story with a new dimension, and Akshay was cast in the lead role.' He said Akshay had some scheduling problems in the beginning and asked for a small delay, which the producer agreed to. Song with Priyanka was already filmed The team had already completed the music and even shot a romantic number with Akshay and Priyanka. But then, things started getting delayed when Priyanka had to travel abroad. 'Priyanka Chopra had some international shows for which she was out for 3 months. So the film kept getting delayed,' Suneel said. Akshay asked to meet on set When Priyanka came back and the film was set to move into its final stage, Suneel got an unexpected invite from Akshay, not to the office as usual, but to the actor's set. The filmmaker recalled, 'He called me to inform me that there were some issues which were uncontrollable and had repercussions on his personal life. He asked me to take a decision on how we move forward.' Personal troubles behind the exit Although rumours about a possible relationship between Akshay and Priyanka had already reached the media, Suneel made it clear that Akshay didn't refuse to work with Priyanka directly. 'Either of them, the circumstances had reached such a point where… there were issues,' he explained. The decision was left to the producer. 'The audience, the public, the media did mention of a relationship, which the wife got more of…' Suneel admitted he was taken aback when Akshay walked away from the film after so much effort had already gone into it. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He added, 'Suddenly after asking that person to wait for 18 months for your dates, you one day just say, 'Sorry, I can't be a part of it.' I was shocked.' Akshay promised for 100 movies Akshay later tried to make it up to the filmmaker by offering to work on another film instead. But by then, Suneel had already made up his mind, 'He did want to compensate by saying that I did the next film for you. But I did not. I just thought this was unbelievable. Coming from Akshay… your expectations were never too much.' Despite everything, Suneel held no grudges against the actor. He ended the topic on a calm note, sharing how much they had worked together over the years. 'He had promised me he would want to do 100 movies with me. I managed to do seven,' Suneel concluded.
