Suniel Shetty on bringing extra depth in 'Hunter 2': 'He is a very different man'
Actor
Suniel Shetty
has opened up about his conscious effort to bring extra depth to his character in 'Hunter 2'.
Returning as Santha in the second season, the actor shared that he approached the role with a fresh perspective, making deliberate changes to his body language, emotions, and overall portrayal.
When asked if there's a conscious effort to bring something extra or different in a second season of the same series, Suniel told IANS that as an actor, he approached 'Hunter 2' with a fresh mindset.
I am very different in this season
He said that everything about his character-body language, appearance, and emotions-has evolved.
This time, the story is driven by a father's desperate mission to find his daughter, bringing a deeper emotional core to the role.
The 'Dhadkan' actor shared, "I am very different in this season. The body language is different. The look is different. The emotions are different. Carefree and careless, Santha was in the first. Here it is more about family. And that is his only objective. There is no disturbance, but no other distraction in his life. He wants his daughter back and at any cost. He will go to any lengths to get that happening. So, I think that itself is a beautiful moment.

Like any father, my obsession is Tia Nahan, and I don't think beyond. And that is the kind of father he is in this. And if I have done justice from that point of view of being able to bring out the emotion of a real father in it. I think I would have done justice to my role."
Directed by Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra, "Hunter Season 2" also stars Jackie Shroff, Anusha Dandekar, and Barkha Bisht in crucial roles. The series premiered for free on 24th July on Amazon MX Player.

Tom Lehrer, the genius who made satire sing, passes away at 97
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Tom Lehrer, the sharp-witted satirist and math prodigy whose songs showcased American life with urbane, often humor, has died at the age of 97. His death was confirmed by longtime friend David Herder to The New York Times, with no cause disclosed. Reportedly, Tom Lehrer passed away at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, leaving behind a body of work that spanned only seven years but made a mark far beyond.

From 'National Brotherhood Week' to 'We Will All Go Together When We Go,' his tracks poked fun at hypocrisy, racism, war, and institutional absurdities, all while keeping a breezy, clever tone. Songs like 'New Math' and 'Lobachevsky' highlighted his love for numbers, blending his intellectual composition with lyrical flair. Legacy beyond the spotlight Despite his impact, Tom Lehrer walked away from performance and fame early. He was focusing on teaching math at Harvard and MIT, and musical theater at UC Santa Cruz. He often joked that the state of the world had outpaced his satire. 'Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize,' he once quipped, as reported by Hindustan Times. Tom Lehrer never married, and in later years, reflected that what once seemed funny now felt frightening. Still, his legacy endured, from The Elements being performed by Daniel Radcliffe to his samples appearing in modern hip-hop. Meanwhile, Tom Lehrer's early performances usually dealt with dark comedy and also non-topical subjects. One such example is the song "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". With his demise. the music industry has indeed lost a gem.
