Abhishek Bachchan Reacts To Karan Veer Mehra's Intense First Look As Zehraak In Silaa
Last Updated: The intense poster showcases Mehra in a gritty, rugged avatar and has been drawing attention from everywhere Karan Veer Mehra has taken the internet on fire with his first look from Silaa. He also introduced his character Zehraak. The intense poster, which showcases Mehra in a gritty, rugged avatar, has been drawing widespread attention, including from Abhishek Bachchan. Taking to his Instagram stories, Abhishek Bachchan shared the poster and wrote, 'Good luck @karanveermehra" Recently, the winner of Bigg Boss 18 took to his social media to unveil the first-look motion poster of himself from the film. In the poster, Karan looks fierce, rugged, and intense in his new avatar. In the first look, Karan exudes a cold, commanding presence — still, sharp, and simmering with an energy that's both unsettling and magnetic. Zehraak isn't just a villain who arrives with noise; he is the silence before the storm and the haunting stillness after. Sharing the poster in a collaborative post with the makers, Karan wrote, 'Khud hi khuda, khud hi insaaf! Khauf ka naya naam – ZEHRAAK." As soon as Karan dropped the poster, his friends, including Chum Darang and Shilpa Shirodkar, flooded the comments section with love and support. On July 1, Karan Veer Mehra shared pictures from the mahurat shot of Silaa, marking the official start of the film's shoot. One picture shows him posing with director Omung Kumar—known for films like Mary Kom and Sarbjit—holding a clapperboard marked 'Mahurat." Other photos featured co-stars Harshvardhan Rane, Sadia Khateeb, and Ipsitaa. Sharing the photos, Karan wrote, 'Thank you for all the love and blessings. #Silaa #NewBeginnings #Film. Captain: @omungkumar." Strengthening the production team is an impressive lineup: director Omung Kumar is joined by producers Umesh KR Bansal, Pragati Deshmukh, Himanshu Tiwari, Ajay Singh, Dhananjay Singh, Abhishek Ankur, and Captain Rahul Bali, with Rahhat Shah Kazmi serving as co-producer. Talking about Abhishek Bachchan, he is currently seen in Kaalidhar Laapata. News18 Showsha gave the film 2.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'Abhishek Bachchan has his moments in the film. One particularly affecting scene shows him jolting awake from a nightmare, terrified that he will be taken away from Ballu — the raw panic on his face and the deep-seated fear of abandonment feel painfully real. In another scene, after KD falls sick from drinking alcohol, Abhishek captures the physical vulnerability and emotional helplessness with striking authenticity. Unfortunately, it's the underwhelming script that fails to support his performance, offering too little in terms of character growth or emotional layering."

Sadia Khateeb Turns Action Heroine In Omung Kumar's Silaa: ‘He Saw Me As His...'
Last Updated: Sadia Khateeb makes her action debut in Omung Kumar's Silaa. Opposite Harshvardhan Rane, she promises intensity, emotion, and a bold new avatar. After making waves with The Diplomat, actress Sadia Khateeb is all set to surprise fans with her fierce new avatar in Omung Kumar's upcoming film Silaa. The film, which also stars Harshvardhan Rane, marks a significant milestone in Sadia's career as she takes on her first action-oriented role—one that blends power, passion, and emotional intensity. The makers recently unveiled the character poster featuring Sadia in a raw, unfiltered look—far removed from the gentle, understated characters she's known for. With Silaa, she embraces a side of herself that audiences haven't seen before: gritty, unapologetic, and battle-ready. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sadia khateeb 🦁 (@sadiaakhateeb) 'I am beyond grateful and extremely thrilled to be getting on this journey," said Sadia, expressing her excitement about stepping into a role that demanded physical strength as much as emotional nuance. 'Thanks to the visionary director Omung sir who could see me playing his Silaa. I just want to give my bestest to his vision. I hope I am able to deliver what's beyond expected. Silaa is a very beautiful story and the way it has been created by Omung sir—it will be a treat to watch for the audience. Sir is creating magic and the entire team is extremely hardworking. I'm looking forward to this journey." Directed by Omung Kumar, known for films like Mary Kom and Sarbjit, Silaa promises more than just adrenaline-pumping sequences. It's a story rooted in emotional stakes and compelling character arcs, where action is just one layer of a deeply human narrative. With Harshvardhan Rane cast opposite Sadia, the film brings together two actors ready to explore uncharted creative terrain. Beyond Silaa, Sadia Khateeb has also completed a comedy film alongside Neetu Kapoor—marking yet another genre leap. With back-to-back projects that showcase both intensity and charm, Sadia is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting and versatile actors of her generation.
