Talking about the film, Anurag Kashyap shared, "We wrote 'Nishaanchi' in 2016. Since then, I have been looking to make this film the way it should be, and was looking for a studio who trusted me to do that, whole heartedly. Amazon MGM loved it, believed in it, and became the wall behind us.
This is exactly what happened with all my films that people love - they were backed by great producers and great Studios. 'Nishaanchi' is a story full of raw human emotions, love, lust, power, crime and punishment, betrayal, redemption and the consequences of it all".
He further mentioned, "I have been extremely fortunate to find a bunch of good people and superb actors and my most beautiful crew to tell this story in the best possible way that I would have wanted.
Working with the team at Amazon MGM Studios has been an immensely rewarding and beautiful experience. It was like going back to my early days of filmmaking. We're excited, nervous, and can't wait to share the film with the audience to experience when it releases in theatres this September".

His distinctive style redefines genres, crafting narratives that grip audiences and leave them wanting more. We firmly believe in the future of the theatrical film business and are excited to share that we will be bringing a slate of compelling cinematic movies to theatres over the next few years".

It exemplifies our commitment to exploring fresh narratives that will resonate with our diverse audience. The music of the film, in particular, is a standout element, and a testament to Anurag's unique creative vision", he added.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Sheeran broke down the visual journey behind 'Sapphire', revealing that Khan not only made a cameo appearance in the video, but also hosted him at his home for a long game of paddle and dinner. Ed, in the 'Sapphire' behind-the-scenes video, said, "That's Shah Rukh. I don't know if I even need to give context on who Shah Rukh Khan is. He is probably like the 1st or 2nd most famous person in the world.' Sheeran said, 'He invited me around his house to play paddle so we played that for three hours. Then he pitched me an idea like do it whenever and to be honest I said 'here, tomorrow'. So you wanna get dinner again tomorrow. By the time I'd done dinner, I'd gone, sung this whole tune in Hindi, which took a while to do. Then we came back, had dinner, played it to him, and after that I asked, 'could you just cameo is the video?'" Watch the behind-the-scenes video here: Sheeran, who also collaborated with Indian singer Arijit Singh for the track, described his experience filming in India as deeply meaningful.

The trip also became a special moment for Sheeran and his father, who joined him for the journey. 'I was with my dad and we went on this boat ride, we sailed down. It's like one of the most memorable days I have had with my dad. Its a real core memory of us travelling India together to go and get the final jigsaw piece of the song,' he said. Reflecting on the time they spent together, Sheeran added, 'My dad is getting to a point in his life where he has sort of realised that these moments are like golden. He just wanted one-on-one father and son time. He also got to see what I do between the shows and sort of what it takes to make a music video. It was really nice for him to see that.' Check out the official music video for 'Sapphire' here The 'Sapphire' video has already begun drawing global attention — not just for its music, but for the unique blend of cultures and the star power of Shah Rukh Khan and Arijit Singh.

Alex Soros and Huma Abedin love story: A look at their relationship and wedding
Credit: Instagram/@alexsoros Billionaire heir Alex Soros, son of financier George Soros, and longtime political aide Huma Abedin have tied the knot in what The New York Times called the 'wedding of the liberal royalty. ' Their union—steeped in tradition, shared values, and mutual respect—culminated in a glamorous yet deeply personal celebration last weekend in the Hamptons. An unexpected meeting The couple first met in October 2023 at a birthday party hosted by their mutual friends, James and Nicky Hilton Rothschild. According to Vogue , it was during this party that 'they quickly discovered their mutual interests in politics and public service.' The spark was immediate. Credit: Instagram/@alexsoros Alex Soros later told New York Magazine , 'I hadn't been in a relationship for a very long time—10 years or something like that—that had lasted for more than three months. And it's, like, the first time I realized I had been mistaking lust for love.' As their relationship deepened, the couple found themselves bonding not only over public service and politics but over a shared desire to build a life of intention, balance, and cultural respect. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 中年以降であれば、このゲームは必須です。 BuzzDaily Winners ゲームをプレイ Undo Huma, raised in Saudi Arabia by Indian and Pakistani parents, had spent decades in political service, rising from a White House intern to vice chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Alex, a historian with a PhD from UC Berkeley, had grown up under the towering legacy of his billionaire father but carved out his own identity through activism and philanthropy. Abedin told New York Magazine, 'I had never imagined I would meet someone whose life so seamlessly blended with mine.'

It had been a long day at work, and I was distracted because I was leaving for a trip early the next morning. It was a total surprise and a beautiful one!' A few weeks later, he proposed again—this time, formally—on a balcony in Italy overlooking the sea. The moment was captured in a joint Instagram post shared on July 10, 2024, where Alex could be seen on one knee.

'But once we decided to have a wedding—or rather when we were instructed to have a wedding by Hillary and Anna, who pulled out their calendars and suggested the date—it was set.' Though Soros had a conference scheduled in Europe, the couple made it work. 'It was an unexpectedly wonderful journey,' Abedin added. A weekend of intimacy and glamour The couple held two ceremonies. On Friday, they gathered with close family at George Soros's home in Southampton to sign both the nikah (in honor of Abedin's Muslim faith) and the ketubah (to honor Soros's Jewish heritage). For this occasion, Abedin wore a custom lace Erdem dress, later changing into an Oscar de la Renta number adorned with a purple allium flower motif for the lunch.
