James Cameron
, the 'Avatar' filmmaker, is set to be seated in the director's chair again – and this time it's way past the fictional aliens or an aching romantic cinema. The 70-year-old announced the publication day for the book about haunting realities, 'Ghosts of Hiroshima,' which he is soon going to adapt as a film.
Here's a closer look at James Cameron's upcoming project.
James Cameron announces a heartfelt project
In an Instagram post, Cameron mentioned that he would be directing the new book by Charles Pellegrino into a film. He further said, 'I'm attracted to great stories and not since Titanic have I found a true story as powerful as this one. Order it!'
James Cameron promises to highlight what weapons can do...
The book chronicles about 200 interviews with the survivors of the horrific bombings in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
three days later. Claiming that the film would be the most challenging film he would ever make, Cameron promised to do justice to the film and the atrocities by making it as real as he could.
'If I do my job perfectly [on Ghosts], everybody will walk out of the theatre [in horror] after the first 20 minutes,' Cameron said in an interview with Rolling Stone.
Furthermore, the filmmaker explained that his job is to tell the story in a heartfelt way that engages with the audience. The Canadian director emphasised that he values the project more than the commercial success, and expects the people to remember what these weapons can do.

Concluding the conversation, Cameron revealed that Pellegrino, who has been working closely with the former since 'Titanic,' always signs his email with a word called 'Omoiyari,' which is a Japanese principle of empathy in action. 'It's not just feeling empathetic or sympathetic. It's you must take the challenge. You must stand up. You must do something,' James Cameron said.

Tired of being typecast, National Award-winning NSD actor becomes motivational speaker and comedian: Says, 'I won't return unless...'
Ashish Vidyarthi, renowned for his villainous roles in over 300 films, is strategically pausing his film career to pursue lead roles that showcase his untapped potential. Dissatisfied with being a 'posterless' presence, he's actively seeking central characters while engaging in motivational speaking and comedy. (Images: Instagram/Ashish Vidyarthi) No More 'Posterless' Appearances Comedy, Conversations, and a New Calling The Actor Who Refuses to be Forgotten In a world where actors often fade quietly into the background after typecast careers, Ashish Vidyarthi is doing just the opposite. The National School of Drama (NSD) graduate, who shot to fame with his National Award-winning performance in Drohkaal (1994) and became a staple antagonist in Indian cinema , has chosen to pause his film career — not out of disillusionment, but out of aspiration.'I've done over 300 films in 11 languages, and I'm proud of every one of them. But now, I want something more — a central role,' he declared in a recent vlog on his YouTube channel, which has over a million for films like Vaastav, Haider, and Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin, Ashish has long been the face audiences remember — even if that face rarely appeared on posters. Reflecting on the kind of roles he's done, he addressed the elephant in the room: 'These days I'm not seen in as many films. That's not by accident — that's a choice. I won't return unless it's for the kind of amazing central roles I've never had a chance to do before,' he said in his being known for commanding screen presence as a villain or side character, Vidyarthi believes he still has untapped potential as a lead actor . And he's actively pursuing it. 'I keep telling casting directors and producers: Just because I haven't been offered those roles yet doesn't mean I can't do them,' he than waiting passively, the veteran actor took a creative detour. 'I didn't want to just sit at home feeling depressed,' he admitted. 'So, I started motivational speaking — to uplift others, and honestly, to keep myself going too.'This pivot led him to develop Sit Down Ashish , a family-friendly comedy show devoid of crude jokes or innuendo. 'People had suggested I try comedy, so I created an entire set. It's a clean, feel-good show anyone can enjoy — something I'm genuinely proud of,' he his motivational talks and comedy sets, Ashish Vidyarthi is reaching audiences in ways traditional film roles never allowed. His corporate initiative, AVID MINER Conversations, curates thought-provoking sessions tailored for organizations, reflecting his flair for dialogue beyond in Delhi in 1965 to a Malayali father and Bengali mother, Ashish grew up surrounded by art. His mother, Reba Vidyarthi, was a Kathak guru, and his father, Govind Vidyarthi, documented vanishing Indian performing arts.

Khushi Kapoor Shares Unseen Pic of Sridevi Ahead of Late Actress' 62nd Birth Anniversary
Khushi Kapoor shared an unseen photo of her late mother Sridevi ahead of her 62nd birth anniversary. The emotional post left fans teary-eyed. Ahead of what would have been Sridevi's 62nd birth anniversary on August 13, her younger daughter Khushi Kapoor took to social media to remember the legendary actress with a heartfelt gesture. Khushi, who made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies, shared an unseen throwback picture of her mother that left fans emotional. The photo, posted on Khushi's Instagram story, shows Sridevi in the late '90s, dressed in a floral pink top and matching pink jeans, flashing her radiant smile with open hair. While Khushi chose not to add any caption, the post itself spoke volumes. Sridevi, often hailed as the first female superstar of Indian cinema, passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai due to accidental drowning. Her sudden demise sent shockwaves across the nation. At the time, her elder daughter Janhvi Kapoor was in the middle of shooting her debut film Dhadak, which Sridevi, heartbreakingly, never got to see on the big screen. Following her passing, Sridevi's husband, producer Boney Kapoor, was left devastated. However, in the days that followed, his children from his first marriage — Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor — stepped up to support Janhvi and Khushi, helping strengthen their bond as a family. Khushi and Janhvi have both kept Sridevi's memory alive by often sharing unseen photos and remembering her at milestones — be it film debuts, birthdays, or anniversaries. On the professional front, Khushi Kapoor is still working to find her footing in Bollywood. After The Archies, she appeared in Nadaaniyan and Loveyapa, though both films failed to impress critics or audiences. She is currently preparing for her next slate of projects, with fans hoping to see her showcase her growth as an actor.
