All We Imagine As Light, the first film from India to compete in the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival since 1994, and which also won the Grand Prix, is all set to have a grand premiere at the MAMI Film Festival tomorrow, Friday, October 18. Today, a press conference was held which was attended by director Payal Kapadia and actor Rana Daggubati. The latter is distributing the film in India.

When asked about the Cannes honour, Payal Kapadia flashed her wonderful smile and said, “The experience was surreal. It took many, many years for it to be made. Hence, being selected in this way was a very pleasant surprise and honour. All of this leads to one thing that I am most excited about is that the film is going to be released in India and that people will go and buy a ticket to watch my movie!”

Rana Daggubati was then asked to do the honours of announcing the India release date. He introduced himself by saying “I am not exactly known for such films”, thus raising laughs. He then revealed, “All We Imagine As Light will have a large, Pan-Indian theatrical release on November 22. It’s a huge honour for us to be a part of this film and bring it to the audience.”

Interestingly, All We Imagine As Light had a limited release in Kerala on September 21 to make it eligible for the Oscars. Rana explained, “For me, it was like a regular Malayalam film. It was not an independent cinema in that sense. With this film, we are trying to break the format of how independent films should be released in India. It can’t take the route of having a wide release and 30 days of promotion. It needs a different cycle. Hence, it started with a release in Kerala. We want to keep moving across states. Tomorrow, there’s a screening at MAMI. There’ll be similar screening in a bunch of states before it releases nationwide.”

Many were dejected when Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies (2024), produced by Aamir Khan, was selected for the Oscars and not All We Imagine As Light. Payal Kapadia was asked about it and she said, “Laapataa Ladies is a great film. Hence, I was happy (with its Oscar selection).”

She added, “It’s a wonderful film. We all saw it and loved it. I also loved Kiran Rao’s previous film, Dhobi Ghat (2011). Hence, I was happy that it’s a film that’s going to go to the Oscars.”

However, Payal Kapadia made people hopeful by confessing that All We Imagine As Light still has a chance at the Oscars, “It’s going to release in the USA on November 15. If you have friends there, please tell them! Once it is released there, the distribution team (can take a call if it can go to the Oscars).”

Former actor and women’s rights activist Somy Ali has extended an invitation to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi for a Zoom call. In a social media post, she directly addressed Bishnoi, who is currently being held in Gujarat’s Sabarmati jail.

In her post, Somy Ali referred to Lawrence Bishnoi as “Lawrence Bhai” (brother) and expressed a desire to have a video call with him. She also shared her intention to visit his temple in Rajasthan.

Somy’s post read, “This is a direct message to Lawrence Bishnoi:
Namaste, Lawrence bhai, I’ve heard and seen that you are making Zoom calls from jail, so I want to discuss a few things with you. Please let me know how this can be arranged? Rajasthan is my most favorite place in the whole world. We want to visit your temple for a prayer, but first, let’s have a Zoom call and finalize a few things before the prayer. Believe me, this will be beneficial for you. Please share your mobile number, it would be a great favor from your side. Thank you.”

Her post follows Lawrence Bishnoi’s claim of responsibility for the murder of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique, a close associate of Salman Khan. Bishnoi also issued a warning to anyone associated with Salman. Consequently, Salman Khan’s security has been tightened.

More than 60 plainclothes officers have been deployed around Bandstand and near Galaxy Apartments, working around the clock to monitor any suspicious activity. These officers follow a standard operating procedure (SOP) and keep a close watch on all movements in the area.

Along with deploying personnel, the Mumbai Police have installed AI-powered high-resolution CCTV cameras with facial recognition capabilities. These cameras can identify individuals who pass by repeatedly, triggering an alert if the same face is detected more than three times, indicating possible surveillance or reconnaissance.
