Actor Karanvir Sharma addressed rumors suggesting he quit the show ‘Rabb Se Hai Dua’, clarifying that he has not left the series but rather, it has undergone a generation leap. He emphasized that the decision was made by the channel, producers, and the creative team, not by him.

Regarding concerns actors might have about story leaps, Karanvir expressed his opinion that unless necessary, story leaps shouldn’t be pursued. He highlighted the strong connection audiences form with characters over time, and replacing them may risk losing viewers. However, he acknowledged that if the new storyline is compelling, it could retain or even attract a broader audience.

Reflecting on the industry dynamics, Karanvir mentioned his involvement in a web series with a planned release, contrasting it with the traditional television format driven by Trp ratings. He expressed personal reservations about the reliance on Trp ratings in television, considering it a dated approach.

Actress Seerat Kapoor, who is playing Mannat in the show ‘Rabb Se Hai Dua’, revealed that it wasn’t easy to adapt to the mannerism and tone of the Urdu language. The show’s differentiated narrative about a woman questioning her husband’s request for a second marriage made headlines all throughout its run with the lead cast Aditi Sharma (Dua), Karanvir Sharma (Haider) and Richa Rathore (Ghazal).

However, the show will take a leap of 22 years, and actress Raymon Kakar will replace Aditi Sharma as the elder Dua. She is now seen as a strong matriarch who has taken over the family business.

The show will now focus on the journey of Dua’s daughters — half-sisters Ibaadat (Haider and Ghazal’s daughter), and Mannat (Haider and Dua’s daughter) who are against the misuse of the law that allows polygamy by men.

It will feature television heartthrob Dheeraj Dhoopar portraying the role of Subhaan,...

Sharing the incident, the actor said that it was quite a challenging scene for him as he is scared of heights.

Karanvir said: “I believe you can overcome your fears only by facing them and that is why I decided to perform this stunt on my own despite having altophobia. I am really afraid of heights and never thought I would be able to perform such stunts. When I got the opportunity, I didn’t want to miss it and decided to face my fear.”

Rahul said: “I have literally grown up in a household where I have watched my illustrious late father go to work daily. In fact, my desire was to sit for the civil services entrance in college, observing the pressure on him. His work hours weren’t defined and there were no Sundays. The role essayed by me is that of a police Sho named Hooda (Haryanvi). I hail from Delhi, so the character is loosely based on observations of people from that belt, Gurgaon, Haryana, not necessarily as cops.”

Blank movie review is here. Starring Sunny Deol, the action thriller that introduces Karan Kapadia is released today and is directed by Behzad Khambata. The movie also features Karanvir Sharma and Ishita Dutta in pivotal roles. Let?s find out whether Blank fulfills all expectations in the movie review.

Immediate reaction when the end credits of Blank starts rolling

Sunny Paaji and his dhai kilo ka haath still carries that deadly punch!!. It makes the opponent go ?Blank?.

The Story of Blank

A young man Hanif (Karan Kapadia) is walking on the streets and suddenly a car bumps him off bringing him to a nearby hospital. During Hanif?s medical examination, a shocker sends shivers down the spine of everyone. Hanif is a suicide bomber with a difference. A bomb which works on biorhythm is fixed to his bare chest and its tickling as per a plan. Shutting it off...

Blank

Starring Sunny Deol, Karan Kapadia, Ishita Dutt, Karanvir Sharma, Jameel Khan

Directed by Behzad Khambata

In a film where the devil lies (and never tells the truth) in the details, it is significant that debutant Karan Kapadia who plays the title role of suicide bomber whose mind has apparently gone blank after an accident, is not mentioned in the opening credit titles. His name comes on only at the end when all the heat and smoke has settled down on what is clearly one of the most original and gripping films on the wages of terrorism we’ve seen in living memory .

From the moment Blank opens when we see a confused bearded shell-shocked young man being readied for an encounter killing, we are hooked. If he is a dreaded terrorist attached to a bomb as intricate as the politics of radicalism practised in our country, why does he look like a victim?...

Karan Kapadia is making his debut with Blank which is set to release this Friday. The film also stars Sunny Deol and Karanvir Sharma in pivotal roles. As Karan Kapadia is making his debut he is happy as well as nervous about his film.

In conversation with Karan he talks about getting into films and what intrigued him to Bollywood as well as spoke in length about his hobbies.

Talking about the film Karan says, ?I always wanted to be an actor, I did strive hard for it, it wasn?t a cake walk for me, I gave auditions and that?s how I was selected.?

Speaking further he added, ?Coming from a filmy background I don?t feel it is nepotism for me as none of my family member has launched me and even at the trailer launch no one has come. It?s entirely my journey and I...

The trailer received many round of whistles and applause from the media. Debutant Karan showcased a lot of confidence and exuberance and looked quite excited about his debut film.?...

After the intriguing posters and the teaser of Blank, the makers unveiled the trailer of the film in the presence of Sunny Deol, Karanvir Sharma, Ishita Dutta and many more.

The trailer of Blank keeps us hooked right from the first shot, it shows a suicide bomber, played by Dimple Kapadia's nephew Karan Kapadia, who loses his memory because of an accident. Sunny Deol on the other hand is a dutyful police officer who chooses his duty over system's politics. Ishita Dutta and Karanvir Sharma play Intelligence Bureau officers.

The trailer opens with Sunny Deol saying, "Terrorism ka koi chehra nahi hota. Uska dharam sirf paisa. Aur humara dharm, duty. (There's no face to terrorism. It's religion is money and ours is duty)." So, the plot is - a Pakistani terrorist organisation, Tehreer Alhim, plans to bomb the city and sends a suicide bomber to execute it. The Intelligence...

Azhar

Directed by Tony D’Souza

Rating: *** ½

So did he or did he not? Did cricketing phenomenon Mohammad Azharuddin (who fell short of achieving what Sachin Tendulkar or Sunil Gavaskar did) indulge in….ahem…match-fixing? The film leaves us unsure of Azhar’s moral correctness? In building a case of his heroic stature in and out of the sports field, writer Rajat Arora doesn’t flinch from asking uncomfortable questions about Azharuddin career moves and personal choices.

As directed by Tony d’Souza (whose last film Boss was a big bad-ass sambhar-curry) the bio-pic shifts gears from the personal to the professional without tripping on its nose. And that no mean achievement. In making a smooth transition from Azhar’s misadventures on the field to his complicated relationship-status, the narrative shows a level of sensibleness and straight-talking directness...

After some media reports that the ex-cricketer is planning to sue the makers, actor Karanvir Sharma - who is allegedly portraying the role of Manoj has gone underground. "Karanvir is very professional so it is very unlike him to be incommunicado. We wanted him for a promotional event that we were planning, but he is suddenly unreachable," says director Tony D'Souza. Manoj Prabhakar's infamous sting operation made him one of the whistle-blowers of the match fixing scandal. Unconfirmed reports indicate that his character is allegedly the main 'villain' in the film. There have been some unsubstantiated reports that he is resorting to threats to keep his character and name out of any controversy. When there were attempts made to contact Manoj in order to verify the claims, he remained unavailable for comment. Meanwhile, the makers seem to be in no mood to relent as there are some open references to...

Bollywood actor Karanvir Sharma will now be seen essaying the role of the Azhar’s nemesis in the Emraan Hashmi starrer movie. Karanvir plays the inspired character of Manoj, who had an important part to play in the downfall of Azhar.

Karanvir has worked hard to get into the skin of the character. As a part of his preparation for the role, he underwent long hours of committed practice to get the bowling and batting spot on. He specially worked on his bowling style as it had to be tampered from unorthodox to orthodox off-swinger. “All of this had to be done over a course of two months as I was the last actor to come on board. Needless to say the voice modulation, the 80’s hairstyle, the moustache and a lot of tan added to the hard work.”

Commenting on his character, Karanvir said, “This project was interesting because...
