Om Raut Reveals Inspector Zende's Reaction After Watching Manoj Bajpayee's Powerful Scenes
Set in the period of the 70s and 80s in Mumbai, Manoj will be seen playing the role of Inspector Zende, who sets out to catch the infamous Swimsuit Killer who breaks out of Tihar Jail. Loosely inspired by a true story, this tale of determination and sheer grit unfolds into an epic cat-and-mouse chase.
Take A Look At The Post:
In an interview with ANI, Om opened up about his experience working with Manoj.
Om Raut said, "We want to tell the story of our heroes all over the world. When we went to Manoj ji and showed him the drafts, he really liked our approach. He is such a big artist. I am no one to talk about him...his acting and his commitment speak a lot. In fact, yesterday, Manoj, Inspector Zende and I were all together. We showed some scenes of the film to Inspector Zende and he was in complete awe. He said, 'Manoj is looking just like me'. So, I don't think there can be a bigger compliment than this. There can't be a bigger certificate than this. We made a film on him.We made a film on his bravery and his story."
The film is directed and written by Chinmay D. Mandlekar. It is jointly produced by Jay Shewakramani and Om Raut.
Audience will be able to watch Om Raut's film on Netflix from September 5 onwards. Jim Sarbh is also a part of the film.

Chiranjeevi denies meeting film federation amid Telugu industry strikes, slams baseless claims
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 10 (ANI): Amid the ongoing tensions in the Telugu film industry, megastar Chiranjeevi has refuted claims of his involvement with the dispute. Chiranjeevi slammed the false information shared by individuals claiming to be members of the Film Federation that he met with the protesting workers and offered assurances over their demands. "It has come to my attention that some individuals claiming to be the members of the Film Federation have gone to the media falsely claiming that I have met them and given an assurance that their demands regarding a 30 per cent wage hike, etc., shall be met and that I will be starting shooting very soon. I wish to set the record straight that I have not met anyone from the federation. This is an industry issue and no individual, including me, can give any unilateral assurances to solve any problem one way or the other," the actor wrote on X. He noted that the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce is the apex body of the Telugu film industry, and only the chamber would engage in discussions related to the concerns and arrive at a solution. "Until such time, making such false claims is unacceptable. I condemn all such baseless and motivated claims to create confusion among all stakeholders. Please note," Chiranjeevi strongly asserted. Earlier this month, the film chamber had issued a strict directive, stating that members of the Telugu Industry Film Employees' Federation have demanded a 30 per cent wage increase. "We have already been paying much higher than the existing minimum wages as per the act to both skilled and unskilled workers. This disruption will cause heavy damage to films in production. Chamber condemns this action taken by Federation as we have worked together with their members for decades," the directive read. Mentioning that the chamber has been in talks with the relevant authorities to secure a sustainable solution, they asked producers to strictly avoid independent action or separate arrangements with unions until resolution.

Netflix renews One Piece for Season 3; unveils Season 2 first look with Callum Kerr as Captain Smoker, Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday and more
After a long wait, the live-action adaptation of the fan-favourite anime franchise One Piece is once again set to hit Netflix. The beloved manga series has also been renewed for a third season following the overwhelming response to its debut season. The streamer announced the news on One Piece Day, the annual celebration in Tokyo held every year to mark the debut of Eiichiro Oda's legendary manga. Along with the renewal, the platform has also dropped the first official look at Season 2 of the show. According to Variety, Ian Stokes has teamed up with Joe Tracz to lead the third season of the live-action adaptation of One Piece. Stokes had earlier served as co-executive producer during Season 1, which starred Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero, among others. Reports say production for Season 3 will kick off in Cape Town, South Africa, later this year. While this is great news for fans, it comes with a slight letdown, the lineup for the new season might see some changes. Matt Owens, showrunner for Season 1, has officially stepped away, announcing earlier that he was 'taking a break to focus on myself and my mental health.' It's also not confirmed yet whether the cast lineup will be affected. Also read: Ahead of 25th anniversary, One Piece anime announces break until 2025: 'It's a heartbreak for now' Along with the renewal news, Netflix has dropped the first teaser and photos from Season 2. The clip shows Monkey D. Luffy, played by Godoy, alongside the rest of the Straw Hats. The sneak peek also gives a first look at several new characters, including: More new names added to the lineup are David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra and Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0, among others. Also read: One Piece animator calls for 'immediate firing' of entire sound team, blasts 'unprofessional' work; here's why Season 2 of One Piece picks up right after the adventure of Season 1 ended, with Luffy and his crew off to sail the Grand Line. The dangerous sea is filled with strange islands, clever and powerful enemies waiting to torment the Straw Hats and unexpected adventures, staying true to the anime's essence. The group is once again on the hunt for the world's greatest treasure, the One Piece. Returning cast for Season 2 includes Emily Rudd as Nami, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Jacob Romero as Usopp. The teaser kicks off with Luffy saying, 'Everything I've done, everywhere I go is for the One Piece.' The official synopsis of season 2 reads, 'Netflix's epic high-seas pirate adventure, 'One Piece,' returns for Season 2—unleashing fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet. Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line, a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world's greatest treasure, they'll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.' Season 2 will also introduce a new face, Tony Tony Chopper, the reindeer-boy hybrid. The character is voiced by Mikaela Hoover. Hoover earlier described the character and the reason for playing it, saying, 'What excited me about playing Chopper is the tug of war between his standoffishness and his huge heart.' Hoover continued, 'He tries so hard to hide his emotions and put on a tough exterior, but underneath, he's a big softy, and his love can't help but come out.'
