The trailer of ‘Chup’, directed by veteran ad filmmaker and director R. Balki, was released on Monday. A film centred around revenge killings, the needle of suspicion in it points to a filmmaker, who’s believed to have committed the murders after critics panned his movie while being generous to what he believes less-deserving films.
The serial killer thriller stars Dulquer Salmaan, fresh off his success in Sita Rama, who plays the film director, Pooja Bhatt, Sunny Deol and Shreya Dhanwanthary.
The film seems to come from a very personal space of Balki, whose some films have failed to impress the critics. He even went on to call out the critics in the past over their pretentious attitude towards movies with mainstream elements.

From the time she entered Bollywood in 2007 with "Saawariya", Sonam Kapoor Ahuja mostly courted the limelight as a fashionista and a highly-opinionated person rather than with her acting skills -- till "Neerja" in 2016 changed that opinion for many. While the actress is happy with her career graph, she now wishes to be part of horror and action films.
"I haven't done any action and horror films, so these are the two genres I would love to explore. It would be so different and exciting for me because I haven't done anything on the action.

Actor Dulquer Salmaan, who plays a cricketer in the upcoming film "The Zoya Factor", says he is not an avid cricket watcher.
"Honestly speaking, I am not someone who was serious about cricket -- or any sport for that matter -- when I was in school. I have friends who took sports seriously at the school level. Also, I was not an avid cricket watcher, I do not tune in to TV to watch a match that my friends who love cricket religiously do. However, this film has given me a lot of insight (on the game)," Dulquer told Ians, adding that he, however, watched some of the Indian Premier League matches of his favourite team Chennai Super Kings.

The coming Friday will witness (multiple) interesting clashes with three prominent Hindi films, and a major Hollywood film releasing. Yes, we are indeed talking about Sanjay Dutt?s Prasthaanam, Sunny Deol?s son Karan?s debut venture ?Pal Pal Dik Ke Paas and Fox Star Studios? The Zoya Factor. And last but not least, the next edition of ?Stallone?s iconic series, Rambo V Last Blood. One does feel that there is not much to choose from amongst the three but the Sonam Kapoor-Dulquer Salmaan starrer The Zoya Factor does hold a slight edge, especially at multiplexes and big cities, with Karan Deol-Sahher Bambaa starrer Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas and Prasthaanam (appealing more in the hinterland and mid-small towns) in hot pursuit.

Sonam Kapoor, who has clocked a year since her wedding to businessman Anand Ahuja, is in a happy space. The actress knows her heart lies in playing "normal" characters on-screen, in endorsing the fashion she believes in and in urging others to be themselves.
On the silver screen, Sonam will next be seen in "The Zoya Factor", an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan's book about a girl named Zoya Singh Solanki who ends up becoming a lucky charm for the cricket world cup team.

I could tell you exactly where we were and what we were feeling at the time I took these.
"Today, to reflect on one year of marriage and three years being together - nothing could be more of a blessing than to have your life partner as your best friend and also be the person that is supportive but pushes you to be better, to be the person that is unconditionally loving...
