Exclusive- Pandya Store actor Sarwam Kulkarni: I easily manage my studies, shoots and workout sessions
He said, "I am studying filmmaking itself in my college, and it is fun to be always around films.
It is difficult to manage, but I still do as I love both studying filmmaking and my shoots.
So I easily manage, and I also try to take time out for my fitness routine or workout session on a daily basis."
Talking ahead, he revealed his wish to do more TV shows. He shared, "I'm definitely open to taking more TV shows. I am looking for more projects, especially where I get to play different characters which challenge me. And also now I look for projects which are featuring me in lead or primary roles only."
He continued, "Recently, I got the opportunity to play a bad boy in an OTT series. It was a totally different character, people usually don't offer me roles like these, but when the directors came to me for this role, they gave me a few references, which helped me to try. I played a flirtatious personality. The feedback has been good, people loved me in it, as they got to see something different and unexpected."
Sarwam, who made his Bollywood debut with a Bhumi Pednekar-started movie, Thank You for Coming, doesn't see him getting typecast.

Sarwam earned popularity after playing the role of Sarvesh in the TV show Shubh Laabh Aapkey Ghar Mein. He also featured in Pushpa Impossible, Krishna Mohini, Kundali Bhagya, and Maddam Sir, among others. He also played the role of Vaibhav in the web series Yeh Meri Family and Sumit in Pehla Pyaar.

Exclusive: Chandra Barot deserved far more credit for Don, says Javed Akhtar
Javed Akhtar pays tribute to Don director, the late Chandra Barot Veteran director Chandra Barot , 86, best known for making the 1978 cult classic Don, passed away in Mumbai. The filmmaker was battling pulmonary fibrosis for the past seven years. Barot's directorial debut Don was written by Salim-Javed ( Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar ). The film, which featured Amitabh Bachchan in a dual role, also starred Zeenat Aman, Pran and Helen. The film, which continues to be a landmark in Hindi cinema, was remade by Farhan Akhtar in 2006 with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Barot began his career in the Hindi film industry as an assistant director with actor-filmmaker Manoj Kumar. Remembering Chandra Barot, Javed Akhtar told Bombay Times, 'I remember meeting him around 12-15 years ago at an event. It was a fleeting meet and we promised to meet each other soon which sadly never happened. I will always remember him as the most gentle, easy-going man with a great sense of humour. He had no ego hassles and was extremely humble. Working with him and cinematographer Nariman A Irani on Don, was a great experience. ' 'Don was perhaps one of Amitabh Bachchan's first solo hits' The 1978 action-thriller went on to become a massive hit, cementing Big B and Salim Javed's domination and stardom. However, Barot largely stayed out of the limelight. The acclaimed screen writer and lyricist explained, 'It's strange how the industry operates. Don was immensely successful. I remember he was planning to work with Vinod Khanna after that. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing you should Ditch over 40 Learn More Undo There was a big announcement, but the film didn't take off. He was also in talks with Dilip Kumar. I don't know what happened there. I am not sure if this is the right time to say this, but he deserved far more credit for Don than he received. It was perhaps one of Amitabh's first solo hits. Most of his previous hits were multistarrers.' 'Don didn't mull over melodrama' Speaking about what made Don a cult classic, Javed saab added, 'Don was the first caper of Hindi cinema. It was one of its kind. Like other films of those times, Don didn't mull over melodrama, had no emotional backstory or rely on histrionics. I remember Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) saying in his classic tongue in cheek way, 'The whole film looks like a trailer!' What he meant was the film had that 'on the move' tempo and it was all Barot's vision. He invented that style and that to me was most unique. It was a well-made film.' 'I will always be loyal to my Don' Don was remade by Javed saab's son Farhan years later, but he says in all honesty, 'I will always be loyal to my Don. Don for me is the 1978 original, a film written by Salim-Javed. The films made later by Farhan are definitely successful and well-made, but I will stay loyal to my film.'

'Cruel irony': Hansal Mehta reacts to cancellation of MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2025
The MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2025 has been cancelled. The news was confirmed on the festival's official social media handle on Monday. The decision was taken to revamp the festival with a "dynamic vision" and a "new team" to ensure that it will return as a premier showcase for the best of independent, regional, and classic cinema from India and around the world, said festival director Dungarpur in a statement. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "We are working diligently to reschedule the festival and will announce the new dates for the 2026 edition as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and support," he added. The move comes as a major hiccup for the festival that has had a fair run since it was founded in 1997. Reacting to the same, filmmaker , whose 'Aligarh' and 'The Buckingham Murders' were earlier premiered at the festival, voiced his discontent. "It's a cruel irony that Mumbai draped in the glitz of being India's financial and cinematic capital cannot keep alive a film festival of its own," the filmmaker wrote on social media. He went on to call out the "self-appointed gatekeepers of cinema" who left the festival for better stages and safer bets, further adding that only a few "passionate believers" took care of it. "And now that fragile flame has been snuffed out. No ceremony. No outrage. Just a slow, silent forgetting. What should have been a cultural cornerstone has been reduced to a footnote - another casualty of apathy dressed as progress," Mehta concluded. Many took to the comment section and echoed similar sentiments. Filmmaker Onir wrote, "Heartbreaking that the industry that produces the largest number of films ... failed to nurture this one space that celebrated cinema as a form of art ... Tired of too many ads? go ad free now beyond box office and stars ., what a loss for the city and a shame for us as an industry." Organised by the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI), the film festival has emerged as a hub for the world to discover emerging South Asian talent and contemporary cinema. Several leading Bollywood celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Khan, , and , have been associated with the festival over the years.
