Dharma Productions responds to abuse allegations against 'Homebound' crew
Dharma Productions, the production house behind the critically acclaimed film Homebound, has released an official statement in response to the recent abuse allegations levelled against the film's cinematographer, Pratik Shah. The allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women surfaced on social media platforms, prompting Shah to delete his Instagram account amid a backlash. To this, the production has said no formal complaints were made against Shah. "At Dharma Productions, we have a zero-tolerance policy against inappropriate behaviour and sexual harassment toward any individual working with us in any capacity, and we treat sexual harassment cases very seriously," the company said in a statement. It also said that Shah, who worked as a freelance cinematographer on Homebound, was engaged for a limited duration. The production house emphasised that during this period, no complaints were filed with the internal committee established under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment guidelines. Homebound, which was the only Indian film to be featured at this year's Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section, has garnered significant international attention. The film, produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra, received a standing ovation after its Cannes screening.

Why Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor begged Rhea Kapoor not to ‘kill' her
It's not every day that Janhvi Kapoor's candid side surfaces online, but her latest exchange with producer Rhea Kapoor did just that. In her latest post on Instagram, the 'Dhadak' actress jokingly pleaded with Rhea Kapoor, saying, 'Don't kill me.' On Friday, Janhvi shared a couple of her stylish photos in a black outfit and captioned it, Ready for the Mumbai rains ( @rheakapoor don't kill me for the caption).' In the images, she made a stylish statement in a chic black outfit that she paired with a hat and heels. Janhvi Kapoor completed her look with a subtle makeup look and stud earrings. In her next follow-up post, the 'Mr. & Mrs. Mahi' actress dropped a series of her photos from Cannes 2025. In the images, Janhvi is seen posing with Ishaan Khatter, Karan Johar, filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan, and others. In some of the candid solo shots, the actress is seen striking different poses for the camera. Some photos feature Janhvi posing with her rumored boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya. Sharing the images, Boney Kapoor's daughter wrote in the caption, 'A recap So grateful to have been a part of this journey, this story and this moment. With the best, most wholesome people #Cannes2025.' Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter's film 'Homebound' earned a spot in the esteemed Un Certain Regard section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Ahead of the film's screening, Janhvi's sister Khushi Kapoor, close friend Orry, and her rumored beau Shikhar Pahariya touched down at the French Riviera to show their support. Cheerful photos of the group have surfaced online, capturing their joyous moments ahead of the big event. Helmed by Neeraj Ghaywan, 'Homebound' stood out as the sole Indian feature to be screened at this year's Cannes Film Festival, making its world premiere under the prestigious Un Certain Regard category. As per the latest update from Dharma Productions' official X handle, the film was met with overwhelming appreciation, receiving a 9-minute standing ovation from a packed auditorium. Ghaywan is that very rare beast in Bollywood — a Dalit director from the lowest rung in the rigid Hindu caste system. He believes he is the 'first acknowledged Dalit behind a camera in the history of Hindi cinema. That's a stunning disparity,' he said. And one that means the stories of the quarter of India's 1.4 billion people who are tribals or come from castes once disparagingly known as 'untouchables', are not being seen. 'India and the world really needs to see their stories,' said Ghaywan, adding that with such a vast population 'it is understandable that they are often talked of as just statistics.' 'I myself come from a marginalised background. I am a Dalit. So there's a lot of me in the movie,' said Ghaywan, who lives near Mumbai but grew up in the south. It is also loosely inspired by a heartbreaking real-life tale of poor workers who set out on foot on an epic journey back to their village from the city during the Covid lockdowns. Agencies
