‘Love in Vietnam' world premiere shines at Danang Asian Film Festival 2025
The star-studded evening witnessed lead actors Shantanu Maheshwari and Kha Ngan, director Rahhat Shah Kazmi, and producers Captain Rahul Bali, Sarvesh Goel, Mohammed Antuley, Sahil Sheikh, and Zeba Sajid gracing the red carpet. Esteemed dignitaries including Ms. Ngo Phuong Lan (Director of DANAFF), Ms. T. Ajungla Jamir (Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of India), and other officials from the tourism and cultural sectors of Vietnam were present at the event.
Love in Vietnam is more than a cross-border love story. Set against the scenic beauty of Vietnam, it explores universal themes like love, sacrifice, resilience, and cultural unity. Written and directed by Rahhat Shah Kazmi, the film was first announced at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024.
Speaking about the film, Kazmi said, 'The audience response has been overwhelming. It proves that love, as a theme, transcends language and borders.'
Produced by a powerful team including Omung Kumar, the film features Indian veterans Raj Babbar, Gulshan Grover, Farida Jalal, alongside a vibrant cast from both countries. The film is expected to release globally later this year, paving the way for stronger cinematic ties between India and Vietnam.

'Shilpa Shirodkar Shot Dead, Had 25 Missed Calls': Actor Recalls Raghuveer Shoot
Last Updated: Shilpa Shirodkar recalls the confusion during Raghuveer shoot. Shilpa mentions that rumours about her death were spread to promote the film. Shilpa Shirodkar was once rumoured to have died during the shoot of Raghuveer. The 1995 film starred Suniel Shetty as the titular hero, alongside Shilpa Shirodkar, Suresh Oberoi, Sudha Chandran, Mohnish Bahl, Aruna Irani, Gulshan Grover, and Prem Chopra. During the film's shoot, a rumour was circulated that Shilpa had been shot dead. This created panic at the actress's house. However, she was later told by the makers that it was a promotional activity for the film. In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Shilpa Shirodkar recalled the misunderstanding. 'I was in Kullu Manali. My dad was trying to call the hotel because we didn't have mobile phones at that time. I was shooting with Suniel Shetty there. Everyone who was watching the shoot there kept thinking if this is Shilpa or someone else because they knew the news," she said. Shilpa added, 'When I came back to the room, there were around 20-25 missed calls. My parents were worried, there was a headline in a newspaper that Shilpa Shirodkar was shot dead." However, the film's producer later told her that it was a promotional strategy. 'When he told me, I was like 'Okay'. Yes, thoda zyada hogaya. There was no PR activity or anything at that time. Kuch pata hi nahi tha na. I was the last one to know that something like this was going to happen. No one used to take permission at that time. The film worked well, so I wasn't really angry," the actor shared. Meanwhile, Shilpa Shirodkar will next be seen in Jatadhara, a highly anticipated pan‑India supernatural thriller that marks her return to the silver screen after several years away. Jatadhara is a supernatural mystery thriller centred around the enigmatic Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple and its hidden mystical lore.
