Sudharani: Films have advanced technically, but they lack emotional depth

Sudharani: Films have advanced technically, but they lack emotional depth

Now, Sudharani is exploring new creative horizons—venturing into film production with the psychological thriller short film Ghost, subtitled The Devva. 'There's good and evil in the world—God and ghosts. It's all about perception,' she explains, sharing the core idea behind the film. Sudharani felt compelled to bring this intriguing concept to life, which is inspired by director Sudesh K Rao's story, who also stars alongside her. On why she chose to produce a short film instead of a full-length feature, Sudharani says, 'I'm always eager to learn and try new things. A decade ago, I thought of exploring other industries, but I realised this is where I belong. Since acting and dubbing were already part of my life, I wanted to explore production. Direction requires innate talent, so I felt production was a better place to start.' She adds, 'A short film suits today's attention span and is manageable within a budget. It's a challenge to tell a compelling story within a limited timeframe.' Sudharani's creative synergy with director Sudesh K Rao is a key element of the film: 'We share a passion for cinema and creativity. When Sudesh narrated Ghost, I was drawn to its psychological depth. I have always been interested in psychology, so this project felt like a perfect fit.'

This Indian singer got inspired by Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Nene, bought cars worth more than Rs 7 cr including a Lamborghini, Porsche

Every kid has always drawn a racecar, and every other kid has always wanted a Toyota Supra while growing up because of the Fast And Furious franchise. Some realise their dreams of owning their favourite cars, and Bollywood singer Stebin Ben is one of the lucky ones. Known for songs like 'Baarish Ban Jaana', 'Sahiba', and 'Thodha Thodha Pyaar', Ben has amassed over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 640k subscribers. The numbers have certainly brought in a comfortable amount of money, since the singer has a garage with cars worth more than Rs 7 crore. Stebin recently appeared on an episode of History on Wheels by Mashable India, where he talked about his love for cars and how he slowly built his way up to buying his most expensive car to date. He said, 'I think for me it started as a kid, playing with scale models of cars and video games and just dreaming of owning those machines in real life. At the start of it, I just wanted to buy a Jaguar or a BMW car, and I stayed true to the promise I had made to myself, and I bought a 5 Series and a Jaguar XF right after that.' ALSO READ: 'AR Rahman loves clothes in strange colours,' Sukhwinder Singh opens up on his 'godfriend', why the composer makes his best music at 3am Talking about his current cars, the singer said, 'Right now I have an S-Class Maybach, a Lamborghini Urus, and a Porsche Boxster. I got all of them very recently. The Urus is for when I travel with my 'boys' and we all go for a drive. For me, the Porsche is a date night car. Honestly, the first time I saw a Lamborghini was a Gallardo, and then slowly I developed my liking for the car. In Mumbai, it's very difficult to drive two-seaters, and with this car you get the 'sports car' feel and the height, and it's obviously very comfortable.' He shared details about his first car and revealed what all he plans to buy in the future for his already impressive car collection. 'My first car was a Honda City ZX, which looked like a dolphin. I built my garage from there; the BMW came, then the Jaguar, and so on and so forth. But the next car I want is either the long wheelbase Phantom or the Ghost; that is on my radar now. I also want to have a Ferrari, either the 296 or the F8. Currently I am in the phase of learning and looking for new cars, and I saw your episode with Dr Nene, and it's so great to see someone being so passionate about their cars.' While some of the models and years are not clearly mentioned, Stebin's total garage value is more than 7.25 crore. According to CarDekho, the S-Class' current on-road price is Rs 1.9 cr, the Porsche Boxster is worth Rs 1.57 crore, and the Lamborghini Urus costs Rs 3.01 crore, making it the most expensive car he has ever bought. The Rolls Royce models that Stebin wishes to buy, the extended wheelbase version of the Phantom and the Ghost, are worth Rs 10.48 crore and Rs 10.19 crore.

Why Jeremy Renner's Accident Reminded Whoopi Goldberg Of Her 1990 Film Ghost

Jeremy Renner talked about his near-death experience after the snowplough accident in 2023 in one episode of The View. Actor Jeremy Renner, known for his stint in the Marvel movies, recalled the horrifying snowplough accident, which he survived in 2023. He appeared on an episode of The View, which was filmed in May but was released on August 5, to promote his memoir My Next Breath. During the conversation with the hosts, the 54-year-old talked about his life-changing accident. On New Year's Day 2023, Jeremy Renner was crushed by a 14,000-pound snowplough when he jumped out of a cab to try and save his nephew from being mown down. The accident left him with 30 broken bones. In his memoir, the actor mentioned, 'I know I died–in fact, I'm sure of it" on the driveway to his house. Jeremy Renner Recalls His Near-Death Experience At the show, when Jeremy was asked by co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin what he remembered from the horrifying accident, he told her that it is difficult to talk about. 'But I realise that, in time, there are so many shared experiences that people have when they have a near-death experience. It's like a real thing. And how congruent they all are, the similar experiences. And I think it's quite beautiful," he added. Furthermore, the Hawkeye actor continued that the only thing people take with them is love. He said, 'I can say this — love is the only thing that you take with you. It is the only thing essential and that exists only in life here now in our bodies and in our spirit. It's the DNA of our spirit. Love is the only thing that really matters. Like, hate can't exist. It only exists on the coattails of love." Sharing that he was in a 'pretty beautiful place" moments after the accident occurred, he joked, 'Sadly, I got ripped back from this beautiful space into a busted old body. I saw my eyeball and my twisted legs, and I'm like, 'OK, I got to figure this out.'" Jeremy Renner's Near-Death Experience Reminded Whoopi Goldberg Of Her Film Ghost Jeremy Renner's words reminded The View's co-host, actress Whoopi Goldberg, of her film Ghost, which also led her to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the 1991 Academy Awards. Reflecting on the message of the film, she said, 'There are lots of reasons to try to remain when you feel you're on your way out. That's the movie Ghost. It's love — you take it with you. That's the last thing he says, I think, to Molly. So, it's good to know it's not just a movie line." The film centred around the love story of Sam Wheat, played by Patrick Swayze and Molly Jensen, played by Demi Moore. Sam is killed over a shady business deal, and he dwells on earth in purgatory. When he comes across the psychic medium Oda Mae Brown, played by Whoopi, he learns the truth about his murder. He asks her to help him expose what happened and protect his love, Molly. view comments First Published: August 07, 2025, 17:07 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
