Personally, it was tough for me to go head-to-head with him in action scenes.
But I had to block out the personal rapport and focus on our characters in the show."
Admiring the 'Hero' actor's charismatic persona, he added, "Dada is a brilliant natural actor, with a great voice, aura, and presence that's unmatched. It takes a lot to stand up to him, even if it's on screen. But I believe when you work with the best, you deliver your best."
In the second season of the action entertainer, Vikram Sinha (played by Suniel), a suspended special investigations officer, is caught on a relentless mission to rescue his daughter from a shadowy arms dealer only known as the Salesman (played by Jackie).
Recently, Suniel opened up about his conscious effort to bring extra depth to his character in 'Hunter 2.'
During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Suniel said that everything about his character—body language, appearance, and emotions—has evolved.
He shared, "I am very different in this season. The body language is different. The look is different. The emotions are different. Carefree and careless, Vikram Sinha was in the first. Here, it is more about family. And that is his only objective. There is no disturbance, but no other distraction in his life. He wants his daughter back, and at any cost. He will go to any lengths to get that happening. So, I think that itself is a beautiful moment.

Sunburn festival heads to Mumbai for 2025 edition; all key details
India's biggest electronic dance music (EDM) spectacle, Sunburn Festival, is making a bold move this year. It will be hosted in a new destination this year. The event this year is shifting from the sun-kissed shores of Goa to the fast-paced energy of Mumbai. Yes, the iconic festival is relocating its 2025 edition to the financial capital, marking a new chapter in its nearly two-decade journey. Mark your calendars: December 19-21, 2025 View this post on Instagram A post shared by SunburnFestival (@sunburnfestival) According to an official announcement, Sunburn Mumbai 2025 will be held from December 19-21, promising three electrifying days of music, lights, and high-octane performances. While the artist lineup is yet to be revealed, expectations are already sky-high. Welcoming the move, Atul Patne, Principal Secretary of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra, said:, "Maharashtra has always been at the forefront of shaping India's cultural and entertainment economy and music is a vital part of that vision. By bringing landmark experiences like the Sunburn Festival to Mumbai, we are actively building a robust music tourism ecosystem—one that attracts global attention, fuels local enterprise, and positions our state as a thriving destination for next-generation cultural experiences. " Read more: Which country has the most leopards? A look at global numbers With this relocation, Maharashtra is aiming to tap into the lucrative and rapidly growing music tourism sector, while offering fans a new festival experience in a dynamic urban setting. From Goa to Mumbai Sunburn first lit up the sands of Vagator, Goa, in 2007, turning beach sunsets into bass drops and making international DJs a December staple. But the party hasn't always stayed put—between 2016 and 2018, it packed its speakers and made a detour to Pune before coming back to Goa. Mumbai, Aug 6 (IANS) Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festival Sunburn Festival is set to its 2025 edition in Mumbai, for the first time. In recent years, the festival has encountered growing local opposition and mounting bureaucratic roadblocks in Goa, nudging organisers to reconsider their long-term game plan. While Goa's palm-fringed coastline has long been the spiritual home of Sunburn, the move to Mumbai might just unlock fresh opportunities—logistically, commercially, and creatively.

Goa gave Sunburn its signature beachy vibe and barefoot freedom, but Mumbai's stepping in with skyscraper swagger, serious infrastructure, and a bigger, buzzier crowd. With its electric nightlife, culture-hungry crowd, and global flight map, the city might just take the festival from sandy grooves to stadium-level spectacles. Fans and organisers alike are now watching closely to see whether this bold shift will pay off. One thing's certain: Sunburn Mumbai 2025 is set to drop the bass and raise the bar as one of the most anticipated music events of the year.

Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli's chef found a way to serve ‘snakes' for their anniversary: ‘There's chicken and beef in the broth but they were vegan'
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are very particular about their diet and have been strictly vegan for almost a decade now. Virat has credited his diet and lifestyle for his exemplary performance on the field, and Anushka has also been championing the benefits of clean eating for a while now. So a couple as strict as this wants to celebrate with food, the chef has a challenge on their hands. Chef Harsh Dixit, who is one of the most popular private chefs in the entertainment industry, recently spoke about cooking for the celebrity couple, and when he had to make a dish that was supposed to be made with snake wine and snake meat. In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, Harsh said, 'For Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's anniversary in December 2019, I made Pho, but with a twist.' While the couple is vegan, traditional Pho is prepared with non-vegetarian ingredients. He added, 'There's chicken and beef in the broth. But they were eating gluten-free at the time, so we went with rice noodles, which are traditional in Pho and gluten-free.' Pho is a part of Vietnamese cuisine and this presented another challenge for Harsh. He shared, 'Vietnamese cuisine includes a lot of snake – snake wine, even snake meat. So, how about serving 'snakes' to vegans?' He then came up with the idea of serving snake gourd and make it the hero ingredient of the dish. 'The idea was to have fun while staying within the dietary boundaries. That's what being a private chef is about,' he said.

'There was a lot of madness that went behind that too, because I got a call for it on a Saturday, and I shared the menu that evening. Their anniversary was on Thursday in 2019 and they wanted to bring in via a Wednesday night dinner. I only got the confirmation on a Wednesday afternoon at 12:30,' he shared. He shared that it was a private dinner at their home which was completely vegan. 'It was a five-course vegan dinner, an entirely private dining experience in his home. For me, the opportunity was not just a win professionally, but it also underscored the importance of providing personalised, private dining for athletes who can't enjoy the same restaurant freedom as others,' he said.

Sonali Bendre talks about the changing dynamics of relationships in the internet era
Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre has opened up about the dramatic shift in relationships and society brought on by the internet. Reflecting on the digital era, she noted how generational changes are now happening at a much faster pace, reshaping the way people connect and interact. In an interview with IANS, Sonali Bendre spoke about the rapid transformation she has witnessed when asked how the world and relationships have changed with the arrival of the internet. The 'Hum Saath - Saath Hain' actress noted that generational shifts, which once took decades, now happen within a few years, reshaping the way people live, connect, and communicate. Sonali shared, 'The change is huge! In our time, a generation would change every 20–25 years. Now it feels like it changes every three years. Everything has turned upside down. The internet has transformed how people live and connect.' Sonali Bendre, whose marriage has stood the test of time, shared her views on the younger generation's fast-paced approach to love, marriage, and divorce. She said giving advice to today's youth is often pointless, as they feel they already know everything. 'I don't think anyone can really advise youngsters, and those who try usually fail (smiles). They believe they know everything. They have Google, ChatGPT—every answer is at their fingertips.' She added, 'Marriage, according to me, is something that requires daily effort. It should never be taken for granted. Both partners need to work on it. Mutual respect is essential. For me, marriage is a partnership of equality—not that we have to be equal in everything, but our strengths should complement each other. I have my strong points, and my husband has his. We divide responsibilities accordingly.' Work-wise, the 50-year-old actress is currently seen hosting the reality show 'Pati, Patni Aur Panga' alongside comedian Munawar Faruqui.
