Netflix has renewed Rana Naidu, the Indian adaptation of Showtime’s hit crime drama Ray Donovan, for a second season.
Rana Naidu‘s first season, which launched on March 10, held Netflix’s no. 1 spot as the most-watched series in India for its first three weeks of release. The show continues to rank among the streamer’s top 10 series in India and previously trended in global top 10 for non-English TV shows for two weeks.
Much like Ray Donovan, which famously stars Liev Schreiber, the Indian show follows the titular character Rana Naidu (played by Rana Daggubati), who makes a living by fixing the messes left behind by his famous clients. Famed as India’s go-to “fixer of the stars,” Naidu nevertheless struggles to cope with his own domestic situation, thanks to a fraught relationship with his wife and two children.

Mumbai, March 23 (Ians) Actor Gaurav Chopra, who is basking in the success of his recently released Ott series ‘Rana Naidu’, and has worked in the Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer ‘Blood Diamond’, shared his experience working with a transgender person in ‘Rana Naidu’.

Gaurav Chopra, who plays the character of Prince Reddy in the show, said: “The sequence did not display any nudity. Because a transgender person was involved, it was conceptually brave. I believe it was a landmark decision by Karan Anshuman, our creative director, to cast a transgender person in the part.”

Amazon PrimeA brilliant cast of actors led by Pankaj Tripathi is let down by an inconsistent script and indulgent direction.Saraswati DatarThe name 'Mirzapur' traces its etymology back to the Persian words Emir (commander ) and Zad ( lineage) and literally translates to ‘place of a king’. It’s an apt title for Amazon Prime’s third made-in-India original, produced by Excel Media and Entertainment, that tells the story of a powerful overlord trying to rule his fiefdom while consolidating control for his heir apparent. Directed by Karan Anshuman, Mihir Desai, and Gurmmeet Singh, Mirzapur boasts of an enviable ensemble cast and a story that on paper, has all the ingredients for another small town crime potboiler. It’s an interesting ‘othering’ of small town India as a hotbed of crime and all things immoral and rather perversely exotic, for a largely urban audience watching it on a digital platform.

Two bumbling stooges – one Muslim, one Hindu – find they have much in common as they are both sent on a mission in Karan Anshuman’s answer to Four Lions
Yes, Bollywood has made a comedy about suicide bombers, and yes, it really does feature a man singing and dancing while fitting a vest with explosives. Praise be, then, that critic-turned-director Karan Anshuman approaches his task with smarts and sensitivity. Anshuman knows he’s handling incendiary material; equally, he grasps that fundamentalist freedom fighters appear to be fighting fundamental freedoms, not least our right to sing, dance and laugh. His response updates Chris Morris’s Four Lions via the methods of last year’s Aamir Khan megahit Pk: working beneath a chador of broad comedy, he sneaks out sly, satirical points about the ill-informed rage with which the world now burns.

With low key promotions and many popular Bollywood films occupying screen space, Bangistan has already been facing many hurdles. And now, certain countries have objected to the content in the film. In fact Bangistan has been banned from releasing in UAE. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani, who is shocked over this decision, also mentioned that they will have to lose out on a large market like Dubai. On the other hand, the film will also not release in Pakistan after their Censor Board rejected to do so after viewing the trailer claiming it offensive to the country. Despite the fact, that the makers tried to contact Pakistan High Commission and Censor Board in order to assure them that the content is not anti -Pakistan, the High Commission hasn't responded to their invite. Moreover, even Singapore is refusing to release the film owing the controversy attached to the film's subject which is terrorism.

Bangistan, which will be releasing on July 31st, is a film set in a fictitious country. The concept of fictitious countries has often been featured in movies, but Bangistan seems to have gone a step further.
A website has been launched promoting major tourists sites in Bangistan along with a list of important people that exist in the world of Bangistan – worldofbangistan.com. The director, Karan Anshuman, has pulled out all the stops to make the country – Bangistan – seem as realistic as possible, even creating the country’s own newspaper, “The Bangistan Times.”
There are many spoofs in the film that will entertain the audience to no end. ‘Star*ucks Coffee’ makes an appearance. ‘Keep Calm, I Am Not A Terrorist’ T-shirts are noticeable.

Ahead of its release in a few weeks, Riteish Deshmukh has provided an inside look into his next film Bangistan, a satire comedy about fundamentalism.
“Bangistan is basically a comedy satire about two terrorists that are on a mission to save the world. They are brainwashed by local religious rag-tags and sent on a mission to disrupt the world peace conference taking place in Krakow, Poland. On this journey they realize the futility of religious divide, and come out as heroes,” said Riteish.
And the name Bangistan? It refers to the fictitious country in which the film takes place. “…but the topic and issues are real,” Riteish noted. “It has a strong underlying message highlighting the futility of violence, religious divisions [and] cultural prejudice.”
With mega hits like Heyy Babyy and Housefull, it’s fair to say Riteish has perfected his comedic craft. “I think that if you rehearse your comedy too much,...

Just a couple of days back, we had reported that Excel Entertainment's forthcoming film Bangistan that features Riteish Deshmukh and Pulkit Samrat in lead roles was banned in Pakistan. Now we hear that the film which was slated to hit screens later this month on July 31, has been postponed. In fact the film will now release on August 7. Commenting on the delay in releasing the film, producer Ritesh Sidhwani stated that since the current releases Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Bahubali that hit screens two and three weeks back continue to rule the box office, releasing Bangistan at a later date would be more beneficial for the film. Simultaneously, Riteish Deshmukh also confirmed the same on twitter saying, "Bangistan Now Releases On 7th August". Directed by Karan Anshuman, Bangistan also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Chandan Roy Sanyal. The film is about two suicide bombers, Hafeez Bin Ali/ Ishwarchand Sharma (Riteish) and...

The Riteish Deshmukh and Pulkit Samrat starrer Bangistan is in the news for reasons more than one. Besides Bangistan being banned in Pakistan, it has also hit the headlines for getting postponed abruptly. Yes the Karan Anshuman directed film has been pushed ahead. The film that was scheduled to release on July 31st, 2015 will now hit the screens on 7th August. Riteish Deshmukh took to a micro-blogging site and confirmed, "Bangistan Now Releases On 7th August."
And we believe there are quite some reasons which must have induced the makers to take such an impromptu decision. Firstly, the trade is abuzz with the news that S. S. Rajamouli's blockbuster Baahubali and Salman Khan starrer super hit film Bajrangi Bhaijaan are still rocking at Bo. The two films have created unprecedented numbers and the audience still can't get over it.
Further, Bangistan was earlier pitted against Ajay Devgn-Tabu starrer Drishyam,...

In the past few weeks, there was plenty of back and forth decision on whether the Salman Khan film Bajrangi Bhaijaan would release in Pakistan. However, while Bajrangi Bhaijaan did release across the border and has been doing brisk business, we hear that the soon to release Riteish Deshmukh - Pulkit Samrat starrer Bangistan is stuck in a similar quagmire. In fact we hear that the film produced by Riteish Sidhwani has been banned from releasing in Pakistan owing to its theme. However, Sidhwani, who was taken by surprise with this ruling, has decided on fighting the ban stating that he along with the director of the film Karan Anshuman and the lead actors have applied for Pakistani visa, to screen the film for the authorities. Apparently, the authorities in Pakistan based their decision to ban the film on the trailer stating that Bangistan is anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim. As for the film,...

A source close to the project reveals that the chairperson of the censor board Pahlaj Nihalani praised the film for its novel content and treatment. "The film was given a UA certificate with 6 verbal cuts. The words that had to go were 'ghanta' (used as an abuse, so we hope it doesn't ring a bell), 'Qafir', 'minority', 'Dalaal', Saala' and 'Saali'. No visuals were cut," says the source.
