Cannes <a href="https://www.cannesguide.com/cannes-festival-guide/structure-of-the-cannes-film-festival/">included </a>the section in the early 2010s. As per Cannes, it “reserves a couple of midnight slots for interesting genre films or those with challenging content”. Most of the details about the movie have been kept under wraps, but Kennedy, which will premiere at the festival, stars Abhilash Thapliyal, Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhatt. Bhatt also starred in Kashyap’s crime-drama Ugly, which also premiered at Cannes. The makers of the movie have not yet announced its release date. As the news made it to the social media, film celebrities congratulated Kashyap, with ace director Sudhir Mishra <a href="https://twitter.com/IAmSudhirMishra/status/1646471490651705344">tweeting</a>, “You can’t keep Kashyap down for long.

The veteran actor Kapoor took a dig at filmmaker Kashyap for his ‘dark movies.’ The billboard placed in Juhu read, “Juhu leads to Andheri. Anurag's movies lead to andhera (Anurag's films lead to darkness)." <div type="twitter" handle="anuragkashyap72" handlename="Anurag Kashyap" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1243277437447868425/z7XwVxE__normal.jpg" favoritecount="5284" retweetcount="261" status="😘 https://t.co/ahR5XE9Lg1 https://t.co/NQkXUtrE2U" createdat="1608530204000" id="1340898981723828225"></div> Kashyap also responded with a billboard that read,“Yeh circle gol hai. Anil ki acting lol hai (This circle is round and Anil's acting is to be laughed at)." However, this is all just a creative stunt for Netflix’s upcoming film AK vs AK. To make people stop and take notice, Netflix’s billboards did not feature its logo, film’s title or brand name. And unlike its usual communication pieces, these billboards did not even follow Netflix’s colour scheme. It got rid of the red and just went ahead with plain monochromatic billboards. The de-branding was an effort to make the conversation appear more real and create intrigue. The campaign also seems to have a two-forked aim of retargeting Kashyap and Kapoor’s audience and to attract new ones. It is conceptualised and executed by Zoo Media Network's The Rabbit Hole. Netflix is known for its disruptive approach when it comes to Out-of-Home advertising. To promote its series Ghoul starring Radhika Apte, the OTT platform superimposed the ‘Ghoul symbol’ on the OOH sites where it promoted Sacred Games. <div type="image" title="netflix ghoul." msid="79838158" hostid="261"></div> The OTT giant has been going all out to promote AK vs AK. It smartly announced the launch of its film via Twitter first. The Bollywood stars’ engaged in a Twitter banter and had internet users scratching their heads, again with no mention of the film or brand. Some media organisations even fell for the marketing ploy. After the conversation triggered some buzz on Twitter, Netflix dropped AK vs Ak’s trailer. <div type="twitter" handle="anuragkashyap72" handlename="Anurag Kashyap" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1243277437447868425/z7XwVxE__normal.jpg" favoritecount="1859" retweetcount="36" status="My favourite thing about AK is his personality, charm and intelligence.

Before Kashyap made it in the industry, he wanted to make two movies Allwyn Kallicharan and Grant Hotel with Kapoor. However, the projects did not see the light of the day and the two stars drifted apart. In a recent interview with Press Trust of India, the two said that they have left behind their tense history of unfulfilled projects to come together for AK vs AK. Netflix thought of a clever ruse to take advantage of their tense history and translated it into a film. <div type="Youtube" id="lXZPMb51IQU" title="AK vs AK | Official Trailer | Anil Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane | Netflix India" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lXZPMb51IQU/mqdefault.jpg"></div> AK vs AK, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, will premiere on Netflix on 24 December.

India is an important market for the OTT platform which invested nearly ₹3,000 crore in original content. Its grew its revenue by 700% on the back of local content. This is the second franchise after Sacred Games Season 2 to have left eager fans unimpressed. A day after the second season was released, Twitter was flooded with memes and angry comments. Netflix has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/entertainment/news/netflix-has-focused-on-india-as-a-key-area-for-growth-exclusive-data-tells-the-story-of-its-progress-/articleshow/71467026.cms">also been dumping tanked Bollywood movies </a>like Drive on the platform which may result in subscriber loss. The failure of Ghost Stories may become a barrier for the stellar growth it was expecting. “AnuragKashyap is a very fine director and I love his craft. And here also I'm not criticising his story or his direction in #GhostStories. I'm just expressing how disturbing it was for me. In those mere 30 minutes, at several scenes I wanted to take my eyes off the screen,”<a href="https://twitter.com/aavishhkar/status/1212294487663403008"> wrote a user on Twitter. </a> Kashyap’s story revolves around the bond between a little boy and his pregnant maternal aunt. She is desperately awaits the birth of her child after having suffered a miscarriage in the past.

 Zoya Akhtar’s story stands out The story of a haunted nurse that was directed by 2019’s most successful Zoya Akhtar however received a thumbs up. Not only did she direct the critically and commercially acclaimed Gully Boy but her web series ‘Made in Heaven’ on Amazon Prime was a hit with the audience. She also brought star power into her story. Janhvi Kapoor plays a nurse Sameera, who is haunted while providing care to an elderly ailing lady (Surekha Sikri). The nurse who has plans to entertain her boyfriend, is haunted by unusual noises. The segments by Dibakar Banerje and Karan Johar received average reviews. Johar however fell into his old habits as he inducted a wedding scene in a horror film. All in all, the only ones haunted by the series are Netflix executives who bankrolled it.

However, have you ever wondered how difficult it must have been to shoot that bear-like creature from Ghost Stories or to bring to life the dystopian world from Leila? Netflix India gives us a peek into behind-the-scenes footage of some of its most-loved content and shares how its army toils to build strong characters like <keyword id="6686946" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ganesh-gaitonde">Ganesh Gaitonde</keyword>, <keyword id="2689104" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="ghoul">Ghoul</keyword> and Veere Singh on-screen.

From writing a dialogue to making it rain in summer to withstanding the mental, emotional and physical load of getting every minute detail right in their production, this film gives you a reality check that the stardom comes with its own struggles. And without the contributions of the crew on film and show sets, Netflix wouldn’t be a reality. Voiced by Anurag Kashyap in a very relaxing tone, it tells you that ‘we are in this together and we will make it work. Netflix won’t stop making stories as long as it is around.’ <div type="Youtube" id="IolAJRGpLZg" title="For The Heroes Behind The Scenes ft.

This fund, set up by PGI, will provide emergency short term relief to thousands of daily wage earners in the Indian creative community, who have been directly impacted by the closure of productions in the country due to the pandemic. This will include those who help with lighting, setting, and electricians, carpenters and spot boys - many of whom are paid hourly wages and work on a project-to-project basis. In India, Netflix has also committed up to four weeks of pay for all core below-the-line crew who were scheduled to work on Netflix’s productions in India.

Now, he is taking his matchmaking skills to the general public. In the Netflix show, ‘What the love’ he turned cupid for a reality show that promises to ‘help’ people find love. But what it actually does is gloss over the many problems they have in 30 minute episodes. While the show is entertaining, it is not fulfilling. “I am a nosy aunty,” he claimed a bunch of singles as the show kickstarts to a party. Flanked by a stylist and fashion designer, Johar critiques them for their dressing sense - even as he himself wore floral and velvet jackets. Girls remain in the closet - but gay sons are accepted What he did achieve was to catch the underlying problem behind the single status of many people. The most progressive part of the show was its diversity with gay and straight contestants. “Some of my girlfriends refuse to come out of the closet,” complained a girl who works in the aviation sector. “That’s because gay men are an accepted part of the social fabric,” Johar declared. Karan chose an eclectic mix of contestants that included people who are insecure, queer, workaholics, low-self esteem and much more. And he brought in celebrities like Arjun Kapoor, <keyword id="836886" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sunny-Leone">Sunny Leone</keyword>, <keyword id="3553193" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mallika-Dua">Mallika Dua</keyword> for therapy sessions with the contestants. However, some of the messages were preached and not practiced. For one, the stylist tried to turn the face of a girl insecure about her weight - ‘oval’ with make-up. She also got a makeover to make her feel ‘confident’. Staged and scripted This is Johar’s third tryst with a web series. While his lust story as a part of Big Four directors on Netflix took off to a good start, his ghost story was thrashed by the social media. And, this time too, few people seem to have liked the show - though it makes for a nice watch on a lonely Valentine’s day.
