Co-director and creator Gopi Puthran opened up about the making of Mandala Murders and said, 'From the start, our goal was to build a world that feels both unfamiliar and real, a place where every truth has multiple layers and every answer raises new questions. Crafting the atmosphere of tension and symbolism, and seeing such a gifted cast bring the story to life, has been incredibly rewarding. Partnering with Netflix has given us the platform to realise this vision on a grand scale.'
Co-director Manan Rawat added, 'Each episode peels back another piece of the puzzle, constantly challenging viewers' assumptions. Vaani, Vaibhav, and Surveen deliver performances rich with emotion and intensity, bringing authenticity to their complex characters. Netflix enabled us to create a visually stunning world that also pulses with emotional depth — every frame adds to the suspense, and every character leaves a lasting impression.'

'Want to understand K-pop, watch BTS live:' Arden Cho aka Rumi of K-Pop Demon Hunters on the group's global influence
Breaking records and stealing hearts - K-Pop Demon Hunters is doing it all. From sobbing over Jinu of Saja Boys sacrificing himself to dancing along to the film's addictive soundtrack, fans can't get enough of this Netflix sensation. The buzz isn't just about the animation or storyline - it's about the emotional punch and cultural resonance. Director Maggie Kang has already credited BTS as a major influence in bringing the film to life. Now, Arden Cho - the voice behind Rumi - is also sharing her admiration for the seven-member global phenomenon that has come to define K-pop for millions. Arden Cho as Rumi In K-Pop Demon Hunters, Cho brings to life Rumi, the fierce and layered leader of HUNTR/X, a fictional K-pop girl group with a secret life as demon hunters. But Rumi isn't an average idol. Born with evil blood, she constantly battles her inner darkness, relying on honmun - a sacred spiritual barrier powered by the energy of her fandom - to keep it at bay. For Cho, a Korean-American actress who has spent her life straddling two cultures, the role struck a deep personal chord. "This project was a journey of self-discovery," she said with quiet intensity. "I had to be a part of it." Born and raised in the U.S. to Korean immigrant parents, Cho often travels to Seoul to stay connected to her roots. During an interview in Gangnam, she revealed she had originally auditioned for the role of Celine, HUNTR/X's wise mentor. But the creative team saw something else - they saw Rumi in her. At the time, Cho was vacationing in Korea. Without hesitation, she flew back to the U.S. to audition - and the role became hers. A BTS fan at heart When asked about her favorite real-life K-pop act, Cho didn't hesitate: BTS. "I love many groups, but BTS is the best," she said with a smile. "I even flew to Las Vegas during filming to catch their concert. If you want to understand what K-pop truly is, you have to see them live." Arden Cho, the voice of Rumi in 'K-Pop: Demon Hunters,' reveals BTS is her favorite group:'BTS is the best. While filming, I even flew to Las Vegas to see their concert. If you're curious about what K-Pop is, you need to watch their performance.' About K-Pop Demon Hunters This movie isn't just a hit; it's a record-breaker! With over 33 million global views on Netflix in its first two weeks, it's the platform's most streamed film. Its musical impact is equally impressive: the fictional boy band Saja Boys' track Your Idol just soared to number one on the US Spotify chart. This unprecedented achievement makes them the highest-charting male K-pop group in US Spotify history, dethroning even K-pop giants BTS. The film's girl group, Huntr/x, also made history with Golden, reaching number two and becoming the highest-charting female K-pop group, surpassing Blackpink.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle opens up about abuse, mental health, and her decision to leave DCC in an emotional farewell
In Season 2 of Netflix's America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Chandi Dayle emerged as one of the most compelling and quietly resilient figures on the squad. A sixth-year veteran of the DCC, Chandi's final season wasn't defined by glamor or touchdowns—but by a deeply personal battle with trauma, leadership, and ultimately, the courage to walk away on her own terms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Chandi Dayle becomes group leader but battles self-doubt and emotional scars behind the scenes Although Chandi is a reserved presence compared to some of her more outspoken teammates, she was voted a 1st Group Leader by all 24 rookies—an incredible feat that speaks volumes about the quiet respect she commanded. In the words of DCC's Senior Director Kelli Finglass, the group leaders 'help with choreography, communication, and serve as mentors.' Yet for Chandi, stepping into leadership meant confronting internal struggles she had long buried. Chandi has a history of masking her pain. Her childhood was marked by abandonment—her father told her they didn't need to see each other again—and later, a physically abusive relationship that left lingering fear. 'I used to hide my past, afraid of judgment and shame,' she wrote during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 'As a survivor, I know I am more than my scars.' Her fellow DCC members, including mentor Judy Trammell, recognized her difficulty making big decisions and constantly seeking approval. 'She craves her attention and approval,' Judy noted, seeing a younger version of herself in Chandi. A Bahamas fling, mental health struggles, and her decision to retire spark controversy and reflection Things came to a head after a fling with a man she met in the Bahamas following her breakup with boyfriend Ryan. Feeling emotionally vulnerable and alone, Chandi invited him back to her hotel room—a choice that sparked tension among teammates over security concerns. She soon took a mental health break, missing games and practices. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During her absence, teammate KayDianna—who had temporarily stepped into Chandi's leadership role—became entangled in controversy for vaguely referencing the Bahamas incident on TikTok. A screen-recorded clip ignited a firestorm online, leading to a bullying investigation. KayDianna was suspended and ultimately walked away from the team. In the season finale, Chandi hobbled into her final meeting in a hip brace and delivered a tearful goodbye: 'There was a long time where I was scared to live without dance because that was my safe place.' Now retired, Chandi is focusing on healing, judging for her alma mater's Pomline team, and embracing a new chapter beyond the sidelines. Also Read:
