Pen Studios announces the release of Gujarati film Kasoombo in Hindi; unveils trailer

Pen Studios is all set to captivate audiences across India with the release of the critically acclaimed Gujarati blockbuster Kasoombo, in Hindi. Following its phenomenal success in Gujarat, the film is poised to enthrall audiences nationwide as it hits theatres on May 3rd, 2024.

Directed by the visionary filmmaker Mr. Vijaygiri Bava, Kasoombo is a historical epic that transports viewers back to the latter half of the 13th century, a time marked by the relentless ambition of Allauddin Khilji. Driven by his lust for conquest in BharatVarsh, Khilji’s tyranny sparked a tale of resistance and valor that would echo through the ages.

At the heart of Kasoombo lies the inspiring true story of Dadu Barot and his band of 51 villagers who courageously stood against the formidable might of the Khilji army to save the temples and uphold the glory of Sanatan Sanskriti. Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios, expressed his excitement about bringing this timeless tale to a wider audience. He remarked, “We are thrilled to present ‘Kasoombo’ to audiences across India. This film is not merely entertainment; it is a tribute to the valor and sacrifice of our ancestors, whose stories continue to inspire us today.”

Director Vijaygiri Bava shared his thoughts on the film’s journey, stating, “With ‘Kasoombo,’ our aim was to honor the legacy of Gujarat’s brave Sanatani warriors and their historic stand against oppression. I am grateful to Pen Studios for their unwavering support in bringing this vision to life.”

Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh has become the latest target of deepfakes – a worrying trend where AI is used to create manipulated videos.

The video, while using genuine footage from Singh’s visit to Varanasi, had his voice replaced with an AI-generated replica.

Taking to social media, Singh himself addressed the issue, urging fans to be cautious with a message that read, “Deepfake se bacho dostonnnn (Beware of deepfakes, friends).”

Issuing the statement, the spokesperson said, “Yes, we have filed the police complaint and an FIR has been lodged against the handle that was promoting the AI-generated deepfake video of Mr. Ranveer Singh.”

The video, originating from Singh’s recent visit to Varanasi, showcased the actor’s journey through the city’s cultural and religious heritage. Teaming up with actor Kriti Sanon, Singh graced the ramp as the showstopper for designer Manish Malhotra’s fashion extravaganza at Varanasi’s Namo Ghat. Their visit to the revered Kashi Vishwanath temple offered glimpses into their experiences.

De De Pyaar De, starring Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh, is getting the much-anticipated sequel, De De Pyaar De 2.

This time, the film will be directed by Anshul Sharma. The filming is set to begin in June 2024. Now, it is reported that Anil Kapoor has been roped in for the project. Interestingly, Devgn and Kapoor worked together in the 2019 release Total Dhamaal.

Pinkvilla has reported that according to sources close to the production, Luv Ranjan has added another big name to the cast. The buzz is that Anil Kapoor will be playing a pivotal role in De De Pyaar De 2. Speculation suggests he might portray Ayesha aka Rakul Preet Singh’s father, adding a whole new dynamic to the family drama and comedic elements. A source revealed, “Anil was bowled over by the concept of DDPD 2 and it was an instant yes from him. The humor quotient in De De Pyaar De 2 is said to be a level above the prequel, with an interesting dynamic between Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor.”

The source added, “The tussle between Kapoor’s character and Ajay Devgn is the standout feature of De De Pyaar De 2. It’s a dynamic that got both excited as they have never shared an on-screen equation like this before. The sequel follows Ajay and Rakul’s comedic escapades as they strive to win over Rakul’s family.”

The original film explored the unconventional relationship between Ashish, a man in his 50s, and Ayesha, a woman in her 20s. Tabu played Ashish’s ex-wife. While rumours are rife about Tabu returning for the sequel, the makers are staying tight-lipped about her.

Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar from T-Series, alongside Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg from Luv Films are producing the project.
