Nikkhil Advani’ s Vedaa is arguably his best work to date. It is hard-edged and steely, what with John Abraham playing a rustic mumbling Rambo on a revenge trail that leaves many maimed and killed.

By the end of this breathless romp into the ruins, which ends in the plundered corridors of a courthouse(order order indeed!) , we are left with a feeling of rage.

Vedaa will leave you angry at the end, angry that such injustice still prevails in our land. That Dalits are disallowed their basic rights by kangaroo courts run by a mofussil mafia. In the film, Abhishek Banerjee and his screen uncle Ashish Vidyarthi strut around as a law unto themselves. Those who fail to comply are given a “suitable” punishment.

All this may seem like outdated theatrics to those who live far away from rural (read: real) India. But the heartland still beats to the rhythm of brutal injustice.

In an exclusive interview with PeepingMoon, Rajeev Khandelwal shared his thoughts on the ongoing debate of pay cheques and pay disparity in the Bollywood film industry. The actor, who has transitioned from television to films, blames producers for creating the trend of high-pay cheques and now complaining about it.

Khandelwal agrees that there is a pay disparity issue, but emphasizes that it’s a result of the industry’s focus on success. He states, “This is an industry where people only salute your success… When success happens, packages become a topic of discussion, and disparity arises.”

The actor points fingers at producers, saying, “If producers have problems with actors demanding high pay packages, they should remember that they created these actors and their demands.” He adds, “You started this trend, and now you’re dealing with it. If you had set boundaries earlier, like not allowing actors’ families to stay...

However, it is not that people are absolutely amused to hear these stories. Mind you, in this digital age with countless media houses coupled with even more social media journalism, nothing seems to be real as well as unreal. We know most of it and we assume the rest of it. The real ‘behind the scenes’ does not actually exist.

Actor Emraan Hashmi, who is gearing up for his upcoming streaming series ‘Showtime’, feels that he is not fit to be a producer.

The film in question is the 2019 film ‘Why Cheat India’. The actor confessed that he is more of a creative person than a finance-related one.

“I don’t think I’m fit to be a producer. I did produce one film, but I was more of a silent producer and was playing the actor also in it, so my producer self took a backseat. I am a more creative person than a business-minded person. I got a commerce degree, but there’s a running joke in my family that I wanted to be in arts,...

The takeaway of that song was that I should look lame.”
