Ahaan Panday Was An AD For The Railway Men; He's A Beautiful Boy: Dibyendu Bhattacharya
Last Updated: Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya spoke about Saiyaara star Ahaan Panday, revealing they bonded when the latter was an AD on The Railway Men sets. Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya, an alumnus of the prestigious National School of Drama, started his film career in 2001 with Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding. He has spent over two decades in the world of entertainment and, of late, is gaining prominence with his choice of roles in projects such as Jamtara, Dev D, Poachers, and others. In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, Dibyendu spoke about the film industry and reflected on the time he met Ahaan Panday on the sets of The Railway Men, where the Saiyaara star was working as an Assistant Director (AD). Dibyendu spoke warmly about Saiyaara and his personal connection with debutant Ahaan Panday. 'I'm very happy about Saiyaara because Ahaan is a beautiful boy. When I was doing The Railway Men, Ahaan was an AD on the set. He used to come to my van and take me to the set – we'd talk a lot. I just spoke to him two days ago. He called me and I was so happy for him. Yeh hi toh din hote hain jo aap umeed karte ho ki industry mein aayein (These are the days that you wish for when you mark your debut in films)," he said. Cracking the code about what works in the film industry is very difficult. There are many star kids who've recently debuted in films but Ahaan Panday just blew the charts. Commenting on this, Dibyendu said, 'I'm so happy for that boy." Dibyendu says there is no formula to crack this industry Dibyendu Bhattacharya further reflected on how difficult it is to stand out in an industry filled with emerging talents. When asked about the increasing importance of film promotions and how a film like Saiyaara became a nationwide sensation despite minimal marketing, Dibyendu said, 'Yeh bolna bahut mushkil hai (It's very difficult to say). There is no mathematics. I think agar yeh mathematics kisi ko pata hota na, toh duniya ki saari filmein hit hoti (If anyone knew the code then all films would have been hits). Even Warner Bros doesn't know, Dharma doesn't know, Yash Raj doesn't know. No production house really knows what will work." He explained how unpredictable the audience's taste can be and how the best marketing strategies can fall flat if the film doesn't connect emotionally. 'Agar aapko pata hota ki kis tareeke se isko market karna hai, toh sab kar lete (If anyone knew the correct marketing tool, everyone would do so). A good film should sell even without marketing. And it's also very difficult to know what audiences will like. You don't know what will click." For Dibyendu, the only reliable constant in this industry is sincerity. 'Mujhe lagta hai ki shiddat se film banate jaiye aur kaam karte jaiye. Baaki sab cheezein destiny pe chhodd dijiye. Kaunsi film chalegi, kya hoga, yeh koi nahi jaanta (I believe one should keep making films with sincerity and continue working hard. Leave everything else to destiny. No one knows which film will work or what will happen)." On the work front, Dibyendu Bhattacharya was last seen in Fateh and Kapkapii. As for Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara, the film is just inches away from crossing Rs 200 crore within a week of its release.

Shriya Pilgaonkar unveils fiery first look as Rukmini in Netflix's ‘Mandala Murders'
Shriya Pilgaonkar has captivated audiences once again with the unveiling of her intriguing new role as Rukmini in Netflix India's latest crime-thriller series Mandala Murders. Taking to social media, Pilgaonkar shared the first look poster of her character, calling Rukmini 'beguiling, enchanting, full of fire.' The actress thanked director Gopi Puthran and showrunner Aditya Chopra for giving her the opportunity to break away from her previously grounded screen image. 'Too much fun and such a creatively fulfilling experience,' she wrote, hinting at the depth and mystique her character brings to the narrative. Though a cameo, Rukmini plays a pivotal role in Mandala Murders, which fuses mythology with a modern crime drama backdrop. Her character is deeply rooted in the fictional lore of the Aayast Yantra, a mythical device central to the show's plot. Set in the eerie, fictional town of Charandaspur, the series delves into secret societies and ancient rituals from the 1950s, where Rukmini's brief but significant presence adds a compelling layer of mysticism and intensity. Pilgaonkar's transformation for the role is a bold departure from her softer roles, such as Sweety in Mirzapur. With a background in classical theatre and accolades like the Maharashtra State Film Award for Best Debut Actress (2013), she embraces the fiery, enigmatic essence of Rukmini, showcasing her dynamic range as a performer. Mandala Murders, streaming since July 25, stars Vaani Kapoor and Vaibhav Raj Gupta in lead roles, with an ensemble cast featuring Surveen Chawla, Manu Rishi, Raghubir Yadav, and others. Produced by YRF Entertainment, the series has quickly become a standout thriller, with Pilgaonkar's Rukmini leaving a lasting impact.
