Mumbai (Maharashtra):
The trailer for the upcoming murder-mystery thriller Pune Highway, which stars actors Amit Sadh and Jim Sarbh, was unveiled by the makers on Friday.
The film, directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna and Rahul daCunha, is a mystery drama based on a well-known play of the same name. It was shown at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) last year and received a great response from the audience.
The story follows the lives of three childhood friends whose quiet getaway takes a dark turn when they discover a dead body. What starts as a normal trip turns into a tense and emotional journey filled with fear, guilt, and questions about trust.
Have a look here:
Sadh, as per a press note from the team, said, "This film has been an incredible experience, one that comes closest to Kai Po Che in my career trajectory. It's a story about how ordinary people unravel when they're thrust into extraordinary circumstances."
Director Bugs Bhargava Krishna added, "We wanted to capture how one unexpected moment can unravel everything you think you know. The film navigates fear, guilt, and survival, and we hope the audience enjoys piecing together the mystery just as much as we did crafting it."
Rahul daCunha, who co-directed the film, added, "The play still gets an amazing response from people when they watch it. Our goal was to make a mystery that has multiple layers and also delves into human behavior when loyalty and trust are put to the test."
The film also features Anuvab Pal, Manjari Fadnnis, Ketki Narayan, Sudeep Modak, Abhishek Krishnan, Swapnil Ajgaonkar, and Shishir Sharma in key roles.
The film is set to hit theaters on May 16, 2025.

Amit Sadh recalls ‘tough' phase of not getting work after breakthrough film Kai Po Che: ‘There was a spike of attention and then nothing'

Kai Po Che (2013) served as the breakout debut for Amit Sadh, Rajkummar Rao and late Sushant Singh Rajput. While the film was a commercial and critical success, it did not translate into great film offers for Sadh. In a recent exclusive interview with SCREEN, the actor opened up about getting less film offers than expected. During the conversation, Amit Sadh reflected on the kind of opportunities he got after the release of Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che in 2013. He shared, 'I got a lot of attention. If I make you a graph, I see a huge spike. There was a spike of attention all of a sudden, then nothing. It was tough.' Headded, 'There was nothing for a few months. Then my whole thing is, if I don't get work, I pick up my bag and go to the forest. Kaam nahi hai, koi baat nahi, Kai Po Che toh agayi hai. I got some good roles after a few months – Guddu Rangeela, but it didn't work.'

And, I don't like complaining, but the fact of the matter is – I don't get so many choices, contrary to what people think.' 'I get a few choices and in that I've to pick the best, because I just can't stay home, because I have to take care of my life, family, and my dogs. So, I just pick the best. Luck has been fortunate that every now and then I do get a good film to be a part of,' he concluded. On the professional front, Amit Sadh was last seen in Pune Highway, alongside Jim Sarbh and Manjari Fadnnis. The film hit theatres on May 29 and will soon release on an OTT platform. The actor will next feature as an encounter specialist in the crime thriller Pratap, directed by Pradeep Rangwani.

World Environment Day 2025: This planet is our home, not just a backdrop for Instagram, says Amit Sadh

Amit Sadh For Amit Sadh , World Environment Day isn't just another date on the calendar — it's deeply personal. 'The day falls on June 5, which also happens to be my birthday. It's also a reminder that this planet's on rent, and we're all tenants,' says the actor and travel enthusiast. It's this perspective that shapes how he approaches the day. He says, 'If I'm not working, I usually spend it unplugged — no fancy posts, just getting my hands dirty planting trees or cleaning a trail. We all need to focus on small acts that make a big impact.' 'Wherever I go, I see single-use plastic littering up the place' He has long been a vocal advocate against single-use plastics — a stance that didn't develop overnight. 'Wherever I go, I see single-use plastic littering up the place. Solo cups, chips packets, chocolate wrappers — it's everywhere,' he says, adding, 'It all started when I saw this mess on a trail or by a roadside dhaba and thought, enough is enough.' 'I'm that guy with the steel bottle, cloth bags and no excuses' Amit's mantra is simple, and he walks the talk. He shares, 'Aapki chocolate, aapka wrapper, aapki zimmedari! I'm that guy with the steel bottle, cloth bags and no excuses. I believe small steps add up. The planet's not going to clean itself — we've all got to do our bit.' Despite being vocal, he doesn't see himself as someone lecturing others. He clarifies, 'Look, I'm no preacher. I just share my journey — photos, videos and small wins. When we camp, we clean up after ourselves and even pick up the garbage left behind by others.' 'Be a guest, not a pest' As an avid mountaineer and biker, Amit has seen some of nature's most pristine corners and how they're being affected by irresponsible tourism. 'Travel is a privilege,' he emphasises, adding, 'I always say — leave no trace, take your trash back, respect the locals, and don't treat nature as just a backdrop for selfies. Be a guest, not a pest.' Reflecting on his travels, he says, 'Every time I ride or climb, I see two things — majestic landscapes and the mess we leave behind. That contrast hits hard. It's why I talk about it, and why I pick up trash when I see it. It's not a heroic act — it's just necessary.' 'I treat every trail, mountain, or beach like a home that deserves respect' These experiences have strengthened his message. He asserts, 'Nature's not a backdrop for Instagram; it's our lifeline. I try to treat every trail, mountain, or beach like a home that deserves respect. I share these stories through my socials and YouTube channel, hoping it sparks a change, maybe one person picks up that wrapper or refuses that plastic bottle and teaches the next. That's all I'm hoping for.' When asked about one mindset he'd like to see change globally, Amit, who has been part of films like Kai Po Che!, Sultan, and Gold, says, 'To stop seeing nature as just 'a place to visit' and start treating it like our only home. Because that's exactly what it is. When you see it as your home, you care for it. You protect it. And hopefully, we give it a future we can be proud to pass on to the next generation.' While he has witnessed troubling changes in nature during his expeditions, he remains hopeful. 'Forest services are collaborating with locals and spreading awareness. Mahila Mandals are working closely with the government on conservation efforts. There's a lot of good work happening,' he signs off.

Transparency concerns over closure of Margao's Ravindra Bhavan

Margao: The closure of the Pai Tiatrist auditorium of Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, until June 15 for roof repair works has raised questions about transparency in govt expenditure, following revelations about conflicting information regarding previous roof repair work. Former Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) governing body member, Vishal Cacode, pointed to a July 24, 2024 legislative assembly reply stating that roof repair work was already completed at an expenditure of Rs 40 lakh. This has prompted questions about why additional repairs are now necessary. However, chairperson of Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, Rajendra Talak , sought to clarify the situation, categorically denying that any roof repairs were undertaken during his two-year tenure. 'The allegations that the roof repairs were already done are baseless,' Talak said. He explained that the roof was leaking when he assumed charge and that govt procedures take time to implement. Talak said that the PWD maintains the property and conducts repairs only after holding an inspection. 'The work got delayed because of the early onset of the rains,' he said, adding that progress reviews are conducted every two days to expedite completion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The chairperson assured that tiatrists and other event organisers have been taken into confidence and will be given priority once the venue reopens. Following the current roof repairs, Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, will close again for two months for renovations ahead of the International Film Festival of India (Iffi). Addressing concerns raised by the theatre artistes' community, Talak maintained that no structural modifications would be carried out, and that the auditorium's acoustics or layout would, therefore, not be affected in any way.
