5 reasons why Vice City is the perfect setting for GTA 6
Vice City returns, but not as you recall. Rockstar is remaking its classical sun-kissed playground for the modern age, and it's not all just nostalgia. From enhanced graphics to fresh environmental mechanics, Vice City in GTA 6 is looking more like a remake than a retrograde.
Here are five strong reasons why this location is the perfect choice for the next installment of the series.
1. Next-gen graphics make Vice City pop

Thanks to the muscle of next-gen hardware, GTA 6's Vice City is set to look amazing. The glow of neon lights on wet streets, the more natural feel of character animations, and the added immersion of every palm tree and beach ripple all contribute. It's a visual enhancement that makes the environment feel both movie-like and realistic, so players can imagine that they are strolling through a legitimate, living city.
2. Nostalgia lands differently in HD

Coming back to Vice City is an exercise in tapping into something strong, memory. For veteran players, the city brings back the pastel-colored suits, synth-laden soundtracks, and frenetic missions of GTA: Vice City. But this isn't a simple remaster, it's a complete reimagining. Rockstar knows precisely how to turn nostalgia into something new and deliver both comfort and surprise to old and new players alike.
3. Dynamic weather adds to the chaos

Florida is notorious for storms and hurricanes out of nowhere, and GTA 6 lives up to that volatility.
Vice City's new weather system introduces game effects, flooded roads, changing visibility, and gusty winds that will make a routine drive complete chaos. These sequences won't be merely aesthetic; they'll test how players navigate missions and getting around.
4. Special wildlife and geography

Swamps, coastlines, open water, Vice City's environments around it bring forth terrain and creatures never before encountered in the series. Dodging alligators in the Everglades, or racing down coastal roads, the environment brings depth and hazard to discovery.
Not just metropolitan chaos, its nature fighting back.
5. The nightlife is alive and electric

Vice City's legendary nightlife returns with a modern twist. Clubs pulse with activity, streets glow after dark, and characters weave in and out of hotspots. Whether you're doing a late-night deal or simply soaking in the atmosphere, the city doesn't sleep, and neither will you.
Vice City is not just a background, it's a declaration. With breathtaking scenery, environmental dangers, and a blend of new and vintage, Rockstar's transformed city could be GTA 6's most engaging character.

Five Years Of Dil Bechara: Sanjana Sanghi Reflects On Her Journey As Kizie Basu
New Delhi: It's been five years since Sushant Singh Rajput's last film Dil Bechara hit the screens and left an indelible impact on hearts across the country. The movie, an adaptation of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, marked Sanjana Sanghi's debut in a leading role. Remembering the character of Kizie Basu, a young girl who battled thyroid cancer, Sanjana said, 'My five years since Dil Bechara have been both incredibly rewarding and challenging. Since I don't belong to Mumbai, I've independently navigated a new world, trying to learn, grow, and evolve daily. I'm immensely grateful for every opportunity and have poured my all into them. The unwavering love from Kizie Basu's fans has been my constant support. While I've had to miss milestones with family back home in Delhi, I've been fortunate to build a cherished new family here in Mumbai.' Her chemistry with late co-star Sushant Singh Rajput, who played Manny, brought the story to life with equal parts joy, sorrow, and poignancy. Under Mukesh Chhabra's direction, Dil Bechara became more than just a film , it became a memory etched into Indian pop culture. For many, Dil Bechara remains a deeply emotional film, partly because of the untimely loss of Sushant Singh Rajput and partly due to the sincerity with which Sanjana portrayed Kizie's pain, hope, and spirit. It was a performance that felt personal, relatable, and real. As fans continue to revisit the film, it's clear that Dil Bechara wasn't just the beginning of Sanjana Sanghi's career — it was her emotional breakthrough. Five years on, Kizie Basu still lives in the hearts of audiences, and so does Sanjana's unforgettable performance. The film Dil Bechara was directed by Mukesh Chhabra and is an adaptation of John Green's popular novel The Fault in Our Stars. In the film, Sushant and Sanjana played terminally ill cancer patients. Unfortunately, it was Sushant Singh Rajput's last film and marked his posthumous appearance after his tragic death on June 14, 2020. The actor was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. His sudden death sent shock waves across his family, friends, and fans. The 34-year-old star, in a short span of time, earned the love of his followers, leaving behind a lasting memory. Actress Sanjana Sanghi made her acting debut as a child in the Ranbir Kapoor–Nargis Fakhri starrer Rockstar in 2011. Post that, she featured in supporting roles in popular films such as Hindi Medium and Fukrey Returns.

She continued, 'On the fifth anniversary of Dil Bechara, the articulation I do have is of endless gratitude to the universe for choosing me to kickstart my leading actor journey, to Mukesh (Chhabra) for the kind of faith that he has shown in me, to the best actor in the world, Sushant (Singh Rajput), someone we miss every single day, to Rucha (Pathak, Chief Creative Officer of Fox Star Studios, India), our backbone, to (A.R.)

It was one of the most nerve-wrecking moments, too, doing a 3/4 page monologue on a night shoot. But a huge learning curve." In yet another picture on her Instagram stories, the diva posted a pale photo of herself alongside a caption that read, 'Here's Kizie from set 5 years ago, exhausted after a long scene saying thank you." Someone even talked about the scene where Kizie proposed to Manny, she said, 'One of my favourites too!"
