Meanwhile, talking about his next, Sesh called 'Dacoit" a two-hero film. 'From the beginning, Dacoit never felt like a film with one protagonist. It's a story of two layered characters, both fighting their own battles, both central to the world we're building. I've always believed that stories thrive when ego takes a backseat — and in Mrunal, I've found a co-actor who shares that belief."
Shedding light on his dynamic with co-star Mrunal, he went on to say, 'There's an honesty in the way she works — a rawness and truth that mirrors how I approach my own performances. We're both outsiders in this industry, and that shared sense of having earned our place brings a kind of unspoken understanding between us."
Sesh revealed that both he and Mrunal are the kind of actors who will do whatever it takes for a film. 'That kind of commitment can't be faked — it's felt. And that's why Dacoit feels like a two-hero film. We're not here to outshine each other; we're here to build something meaningful together. It's about mutual trust, and pushing each other to be better every day on set," he concluded.

Lindsay Lohan On Hollywood Stereotyping And Paparazzi Trauma: ‘I Have Extreme PTSD'
Curated By : Last Updated: August 03, 2025, 11:53 IST Lindsay Lohan spoke about battling PTSD from relentless paparazzi attention. Lindsay Lohan is opening up about the long-lasting impact of fame and how Hollywood continues to limit her as an actor, despite decades in the industry. Speaking to The Times UK ahead of the release of her upcoming film Freakier Friday, the sequel to the 2003 hit Freaky Friday, the 39-year-old star spoke candidly about the pressures of fame, being stereotyped, and her decision to leave Hollywood behind for good. Lohan revealed that she still finds it difficult to land diverse roles, often being cast in similar characters despite proving her range. 'Yeah, I do think I was pigeonholed," she said, adding that working with Meryl Streep on A Prairie Home Companion once felt like a breakthrough moment. 'Which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this, but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance." She continued, 'I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no." After stepping away from acting in 2008 to focus on her personal life, Lohan eventually left Los Angeles altogether, relocating to Dubai in 2015. The move, she says, gave her peace away from the relentless paparazzi culture. 'I don't ever want my family to go through what I went through. I have extreme PTSD from it. It's not safe. It's not fair," she shared. On a separate talk show appearance, she explained how the Middle Eastern city gave her the freedom she needed. 'You can't take someone's photo without asking. It's just different." Besides Freakier Friday, Lohan is also set to star in and executive produce Count My Lies, an upcoming Hulu thriller. She plays a manipulative nanny at the center of a web of secrets. Lohan has also expressed a strong desire to return to classic, character-driven films. 'There are not many major movies I want to go and see that are like that — there's a gap and I'm craving to do work like that," she said. Now married to Bader Shammas, whom she met in Dubai, and mother to son Luai, Lohan says she's entering a new phase.

Comedian Matt Rife Buys Ed And Lorraine's Haunted Home, Becomes ‘Legal Guardian' Of Annabelle Doll
Matt Rife bought paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren's Connecticut home. He will be the legal guardian of their haunted collection, including the Annabelle doll. Comedian Matt Rife, best known for his sharp improv skills and sold-out stand-up shows, is making headlines once again. Rife has officially purchased the Connecticut residence that once belonged to famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, figures whose work inspired The Conjuring universe. As part of the acquisition, he has also assumed legal guardianship of the Annabelle doll, one of the most notorious items in modern horror lore. Confirming the news on Instagram, Rife shared, INSANE ANNOUNCEMENT. I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including THE ANNABELLE DOLL, with my good friend @eltoncastee!! If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted. You also may know The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history. Ed and Lorain Warren arguably put demonology and paranormal into the mainstream and are the very heart of some of the most famous haunted stories of all time, The Conjuring House, Amityville Horror, et… We plan to open the house for overnight stays and museum tours so you yourself can experience and learn all the haunted history surrounding this amazing place. #TheConjuring #Annabelle #AnnabelleDoll #haunted." Take a look: In a TikTok video that quickly went viral, Rife provided more context about the purchase. 'This might be the most important and prominent piece of paranormal history in the world," he explained. 'I know a lot of you guys don't know what any of this means whatsoever, but if you follow ghost stuff, this is as big as it gets." He further clarified, 'We are the legal guardians and caretakers of all 750 haunted artifacts and items in the Warren Museum, including the Annabelle doll. We do not legally own the items, but we are the legal guardians and caretakers of the items for at least the next five years." The Annabelle doll gained international attention after appearing in the opening scene of The Conjuring (2013), and went on to star in a spinoff trilogy: Annabelle (2014), Annabelle: Creation (2017), and Annabelle Comes Home (2019). The last installment was set entirely within the Warrens' artifact-filled home, the very property Rife now owns. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ankita Lokhande, Rajiv Adatia Defend Premanand Ji Amid Viral 'Purity' Remark: 'Sach Bola'
Ankita Lokhande and Rajiv Adatia defend Premanand Ji amid backlash over his viral 'purity' comment, calling it a truth spoken for both men and women. Premanand Ji Maharaj is one of the most loved and praised spiritual leaders in the country currently, but recently he was dragged into a controversy when a few assumed that he was making a comment against women. This led to major social media backlash, and his video was widely circulated. However, Celebrity MasterChef fame Rajiv Adatia and Ankita Lokhande have reacted to the trolling and come out in support of Premanand Ji. Rajiv Adatia took to his social media and dropped the full video of Premanand Ji Maharaj's viral comment, writing, 'Bilkul sahi kaha!!! Kaan kholo!! Dono ladki aur ladke ke liye bola hai!! And what he's speaking is the utmost truth! Full support for Premanand Ji Maharaj!! In this time in the world, people like him bring the simplicity of spiritualism back! Kuch bhi galat nahi bola usne!!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rajiv Adatia (@rajivadatia) He further added in the caption, 'What has he said wrong, tell me?? This was a generic statement about both genders, not just one! Jab insaan sach bolta hai toh karwa lagta hai! Whatever he speaks, he speaks with truth and conviction, and he always speaks correctly and to the point! Sach bola, bilkul sach!! This man is a national treasure of India! We support you!!" Ankita Lokhande also came out in support of the spiritual leader and reshared Rajiv's reel, echoing similar thoughts. Rajiv's reel has received love from netizens, and supporters of the spiritual leader showered him with high praise. One user wrote, 'Social media is so toxic for this generation. Thank you, Rajiv, for sharing this." Another commented, 'Yess, full support! That's the problem… nobody wants to listen to the truth. It is today's truth." A third user added, 'Absolutely… can't agree more… and what else do people expect from a spiritual guru to endorse? It was said for both genders. It meant that loyalty, love, and trust are getting maligned in today's Kalyug." What Premanand Ji Maharaj Said In the video, Premanand Ji talks about the growing trend of multiple relationships. While he made sure to speak about both genders, his one line didn't sit well with the internet. Social media started trolling him for saying, 'Only 2 to 4 girls out of 100 are pure in today's times."
