By Palash Srivastava
New Delhi [India], May 20 (ANI): Actor Tusshar Kapoor urged the viewers to give a 'chance' to his upcoming film 'Kapkapiii' for its director Sangeeth Sivan, who passed away while the movie was in the post-production stage.
Reflecting on the director's final moments, Tusshar shared that releasing the movie on the big screen was Sivan's 'last wish.'
In an interview with ANI, Tusshar stressed the emotional significance of his upcoming film, Kapkapiii, calling it an important release for Sangeeth Sivan and his 'happiness.'
'Whatever happens with the film, I think the audience will decide. And we just want the audience to give the film a chance. That is most important. And I think for Sangeeth ji and his happiness, wherever he is, this is enough,' said Tusshar.
The 'Golmaal' actor believes that there cannot be a 'better time ' for the movie to be released on the big screens when the 'horror comedy' is on the rise and schools and colleges are closed.
'Today's film is being released on time, in a good time. When schools and colleges are closed, people are celebrating holidays. And people want to like horror, comedy type of films. Especially in this phase, when they are free. So I would like people to give this film a chance. For themselves, for their entertainment and for Sangeeth ji,' said Tusshar.
The 'Golmaal' actor recalled the 'last wish' of director Sangeeth Sivan and said, 'It is obvious that this (Kapkapiii release) was his last wish, the release of the last film he worked on. It's like his last wish. And we are trying to fulfill that wish while it is getting ready to release. I wish for it's success.'
Actress Siddhi Idnani, who made her Bollywood debut with The Kerala Story, is ready to play a prominent role in the horror-comedy film Kapkapiii.
While talking to ANI, the actress shared her expectation of success from the film Kapkapiii, which is similar to her previous Bollywood venture, The Kerala Story.
'Kerala story got a very different type of reception which was very close to the heart. And I hope that we get the same kind of reaction with Kapkapiii,' said Siddhi Idnani.
Actress Sonia Rathee, who is also a part of the Kapkapiii star cast, opened up about her experience working with director Sangeeth Sivan. While talking to ANI, the actress said, 'I was a bit scared to start it. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant when I took up the character. But it was a lot of fun. I mean, working with Sangeeth sir, he really helped me take away that filter I had. Like actors and actresses have. I had a lot of fun. I felt very free.'
'Kapkapiii' is slated to release in theatres on May 23. (ANI)

Meet actress who made her debut at 15, left acting due to…, made a come back, gave Rs 1000 crore film, her name is…
In a world where box office records are mostly headlined by male superstars, one actress silently broke the mould — and the Rs 1000 crore ceiling — without the noise or nepotism. While most would guess names like Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, or Katrina Kaif, the real game-changer is someone who started acting at 15, debuted in a blink-and-miss Bollywood film (Chand Sa Roshan Chehra, 2005), and then disappeared — only to rise as a megastar in South Indian cinema. Who is she? She is none other than Tamannaah Bhatia, her trajectory is anything but conventional. After her Bollywood debut, she shifted gears and made a mark down South. Her breakthrough came with Happy Days (Telugu, 2007), and her momentum continued with Tamil films like Kalloori and Ayan, solidifying her presence in both industries. Then came 2015, and the project that changed everything: Baahubali: The Beginning. The epic saga not only became a cultural phenomenon but also raked in over Rs 600 crore worldwide. Two years later, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion shattered every box office projection and made cinematic history, crossing Rs 1810 crore globally. With that, Tamannaah etched her name in history as the first Indian actress to be part of a Rs 1000 crore film, proving that a leading lady can carry the legacy of a blockbuster as powerfully as her male counterparts. Today, Tamannaah continues to strike a balance between Bollywood and South cinema. Most recently, she appeared in Raid 2 opposite Ajay Devgn, a move that reflects her effortless cross-industry appeal. She may not make headlines every day, but Tamannaah's success speaks volumes in crores.

Desi Boyz take over Oxford as Bollywood beats light up historic halls in viral dance video
Oxford University witnessed an unexpected cultural crossover as alumnus Druv Punjabi and his crew filmed a lively Bollywood dance video to Desi Boyz across its iconic campus. From Lady Margaret Hall to stone pathways, the reel blends Indian energy with British legacy, going viral on Instagram and winning hearts for its joyful celebration of desi identity in elite spaces. (Screenshots: Instagram/ druvphk) It's not every day that the ancient, ivy-covered walls of Oxford University groove to a Bollywood beat. But on June 21, 2025, that's exactly what happened — virtually, at least — when alumnus Druv Punjabi and his crew unleashed a vibrant, high-energy dance video shot across some of Oxford's most iconic spots. The song of choice? None other than the foot-tapping anthem Desi Boyz. Posted on Instagram via @druvphk, the video features a group of young men in modern outfits executing flawless Bollywood choreography in locations like Lady Margaret Hall, gardens, stone corridors, and open courtyards — the kind of places more accustomed to academic robes than dance rehearsals. In a perfect clash of cultures, the video showcases what happens when the traditions of one of the world's oldest universities meet the charisma and colour of Indian cinema. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Druv Punjabi (@druvphk) The video caption itself set the tone: 'Check out this incredible Bollywood dance video filmed at Lady Margaret Hall and other iconic Oxford spots – created by alumnus Druv Punjabi and crew 🕺'. Since its posting, it has racked up over 30,000 views and hundreds of heartwarming reactions celebrating the cultural fusion. Netizens have been quick to cheer on the crew. One user wrote, 'God bless you Desi Boys — lovely to see Indian culture coming through at the University of Oxford ❤️'. Another gushed, 'Oxford gets a taste of Bollywood 🔥', while a third joked, 'Aah Bollywood making it to Oxford halls, seriously vocal for local working guys 😂'. The enthusiasm only amplified with comments like 'The halls of Oxford University echoing with Bollywood mashups 🙌❤️'. What makes the video special isn't just the choreography or the catchy track — it's the powerful symbolism behind the spectacle. Oxford, often seen as a bastion of Western academia, becomes a stage for South Asian pride and joyful cultural expression. In an era where cultural expression is often boxed into binaries of tradition and modernity, this video bursts through the frame with a colourful 'why not both?' The seamless blend of Oxford's regal surroundings with Bollywood's unmistakable energy creates a spectacle that's as moving as it is the 30,000 views and countless shares are impressive, what Druv Punjabi and his crew have pulled off is much more than a trending reel. It's a message: that identity is something to be danced with, celebrated, and fearlessly shared — even against the stone pillars of a 900-year-old institution.
