All aboard! The Pain Train is leaving the station, and you want to avoid getting stuck riding coach! Lionsgate is giving action fans something to hide the wet spot in their pants about today with a new clip and poster for Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s Kill. Described as India’s goriest and most intensely violent film, Kill is a balls-to-the-wall action thriller with more villains looking like Swiss cheese after a flurry of creative stab wounds and neck snaps.
Nikhil Nagesh Bhat directs Kill from a script he wrote with Ayesha Syed. The plot revolves around a passenger on a train to New Delhi. The train soon becomes a combat battleground as a pair of commandos face an army of invading bandits. What was supposed to be a leisurely trek turns into a claustrophobic bloodbath, with death and destruction filling every car along a fast-moving train.

Actress Shriya Pilgaonkar says the industry needs to work on eliminating pay disparity on the basis of gender. Shriya, who will be seen in the film "Haathi Mere Saathi", says she has heard actresses discussing how male stars often get paid as much as the entire budget of a heroine-centric film!
"I have heard conversations of the biggest leading actresses on how the budget of their entire film has been the salary of a male actor," she told Ians.
She says that even though you don't know how much your co-actor is earning, you are able to guess based on the film's progresses.
"I don't know how much my co-actors get but you get a sense of it. You know how negotiations are done. At a personal level, I made sure that I get the best deal in my capacity," she says.
The actress says that it's important to stand up for yourself.

Unpaused, with five stories that attempt to define the mood of urban India during lockdown, suffers from that problem. The film starts off on a high note, hits a slump immediately after that, and somehow manages to recover in the stories that follow.
Anthologies can be erratic -- in pace, tone and overall storytelling. When you have multiple directors calling the shots on multiple sets of actors in standalone stories, it is hard to find cohesion of quality. The parts that make up the entirety are often never consistently good or bad.
The uneven quality about Unpaused extends to the film's ability to surprise, too. The top pick, in terms of a unique idea, has to be the first story, Raj and Dk's Glitch. The story is quietly scary in the way it imagines an India in the future that has all but lost its battle with the coronavirus. Covid-...

Mumbai, Oct 16 (Ians) Actor Arjun Mathur has pledged to donate his organs, and says he also wishes to encourage young people and bust myths around the cause.
For Arjun, getting associated with a cause of organ donation was more of a personal affair. His elder brother suffered from an ailment that left him in the need of a kidney. They had to wait for many years to find a donor. In early 2020, the actor's family managed to find the right match and his brother was operated on.
"Organ donation is a cause I feel strongly about. It's disturbing to see a noble cause like this still being clouded by myths and misinformation that is leading to reluctance and apprehension among people. It is about time we, as a society, work towards fixing this issue and trigger a positive change," said Arjun, who is the cause ambassador for "MTV-Organ Daan".

Actress Shweta Tripathi says the claim by Kangana Ranaut that 99 per cent of Bollywood is on drugs is an incorrect generalization, adding that such an assertion is a half-truth.
The "Masaan" fame actress, who impressed in recent digital releases such as "Cargo" and "The Gone Game", also said that Kangana Ranaut's allusion that actresses had to sleep around to get work and that outsiders make space in the "big bad world of cinema" only after compromising, would make for an interesting script, but that's not how Bollywood functioned.
"I think narratives doing the rounds that half of the people of the film industry are drug addicts, that female actresses are sleeping around to get work, and outsiders can make their space in the 'big bad world of cinema' only after compromising make for great and interesting scripts. No, that is not how we work here in Bollywood," Shweta told Ians.
