That was a big requirement."

For Tahir Raj Bhasin, Working In Special Ops Is A ‘Full Circle' Moment

Tahir Raj Bhasin also shared two pictures from the sets of Special Ops 2, where he was seen discussing scenes with Neeraj Pandey. Kay Kay Menon's Himmat Singh is facing a new threat in Special Ops 2 in the form of Tahir Raj Bhasin's antagonistic character Sudheer Awasthi, aka The Collector. He kept the R&AW officer on his toes in the entirety of the seven-episode-long espionage thriller. While viewers have appreciated Tahir's impressive performance, he thanked director Neeraj Pandey for making his character stand out. Following the success of Special Ops 2, the 38-year-old actor took to his Instagram account to post a gratitude-filled note for the show's director. Alongside it, Tahir shared two pictures, in which he was seen on the set with Neeraj, likely discussing the scenes. 'A big thank you to the captain of our ship, Neeraj Pandey, the calm at the centre of the Special Ops2 storm and the visionary behind 'The Collector,'" he began his note. Sharing that he grew up watching stories directed by him, Tahir added, ' I grew up watching A Wednesday & Special 26, masterclasses in storytelling where realism met style. To now be directed by the same mind feels like life coming full circle. What a ride. #SpecialOps2 #NowStreaming #Jiohotstar." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tahir Raj Bhasin (@tahirrajbhasin) About Special Ops 2 The story of Special Ops 2 obviously follows Himmat Singh and his team of secret agents. This time, they are not fighting terrorists, but artificial intelligence (AI). Tahir's character abducts India's renowned scientist, who has access to every important site and information related to the country. The Collector's motive behind the kidnapping was to take control over India. Besides Kay Kay Menon and Tahir Raj Bhasin, the new season also features Prakash Raj, Karan Tacker, Vinay Pathak, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Saiyami Kher, Muzammil Ibrahim, Gautami Kapoor, Revathi Pillai, and Kamakshi Bhatt, in other pivotal roles. Special Ops 2, directed by Neeraj Pandey and Shivam Nair, premiered on JioHotstar on July 18.

With his impressive performances in films like Rani Mukerji's Mardaani, Ranveer Singh's 83 and the late Sushant Singh Rajput's Chhichhore, he has proved his mettle. Moreover, the 38-year-old is also known for playing the protagonist in Netflix's romantic crime thriller Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, co-starring Shweta Tripathi and Anchal Singh along with Saurabh Shukla, Surya Sharma, and Arunoday Singh.

Saiyaara Promotes Spiritual Awakening, Says Baba Param Guru: ‘People Today Have 4 Affairs'

Last Updated: Saiyaara earns praise from Baba Param Guru, who says it teaches real love. 'Youth should watch it and find God through it,' he says in a now-viral review. Mohit Suri's romantic musical Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continues to dominate the box office — but now, it's gaining attention from an unlikely corner: India's spiritual circles. In a now-viral Instagram video, spiritual leader Baba Param Guru shared his thoughts after watching the film, calling it a much-needed lesson in love for today's youth. The video begins with the Baba seated inside a theatre, deeply engrossed in the film. Later, he addresses the camera and says, 'I watched Saiyaara movie today. You might be wondering, why would a Baba like me watch Saiyaara? But I'm here to explain the importance of love to you through this film." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Param Guru (@paramguru__) He goes on to say, 'People these days have an affliction to have four affairs, so a movie like this is timely in this age. I think the youth of this country should watch this film to understand the value of love and find God through it." His heartfelt endorsement has taken the internet by surprise, adding a new spiritual dimension to the already emotionally charged film. Saiyaara, which released on July 18, has evoked passionate reactions from moviegoers across the country. Some have reportedly burst into tears during the film, while others danced to the music in theatre aisles. Social media is flooded with reactions — from breakup sob stories to euphoric celebrations. Celebrities too have heaped praise on the film. Ranveer Singh called the debutants 'phenomenal," Alia Bhatt said she was 'moved beyond words," and Mahesh Babu praised the film for bringing 'melody and meaning back to Bollywood." Even veteran actor Anil Kapoor posted on X, writing, 'Reminded me why I fell in love with movies. Thank you, Saiyaara." The film's soundtrack has become a global phenomenon. The title track Saiyaara recently entered the Spotify Top 10 Global Chart, making it the first Bollywood song to achieve this feat — a testament to its universal resonance. Starring Ahaan Panday as Krish Kapoor, an ambitious young singer, and Aneet Padda as Vaani Batra, a once-celebrated singer-turned-lyricist, Saiyaara explores themes of heartbreak, longing, and rediscovery. Their on-screen journey — marked by creative collaboration and emotional vulnerability — has deeply moved audiences. According to Sacnilk, the film has collected over ₹188 crore worldwide in just five days, putting it on track to become one of the biggest hits of 2025.
