Kamal Haasan receives Golden Visa offered by the UAE

Not too long ago, we reported that Kamal Haasan took off to the UAE to promote his release Vikram. While the film went on to garner immense positive response from the audience, the Tamil superstar also received yet another honor. He has been offered the renowned golden visa by the UAE government and the Ulaganayakan is humbled to accept the same.

Confirming the same, a source close to the actor said, “Ulaganayakan Kamal Hassan received the prestigious golden visa for 10 years by His Excellency Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri – Director General, GDRFA Dubai.” The actor, who was in the UAE, also met his Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai along with his Highness Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the cabinet member of the Minister of Tolerance and co-existence of the United Arab Emirates at the palace. Needless to say, the actor was thrilled and humbled at the honour.

Besides him, there are many other stars from the Indian industry who have received this honour which includes Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty among others. Many actors from the South industry too have received this, namely, Mammootty, Mohanlal, Trisha, Tovino Thomas, Prithviraj Sukumaran among others.

Speaking about the UAE golden visa, it is basically the concept of offering foreigners a long term residency in UAE in a bid to attract more foreign investments. It is generally given to a distinguished group of achievers which includes personalities from different walks of life including business and science. The UAE government has asserted that the introduction of this visa was to help make these foreign residents more secure about their future in the country.

Coming to Kamal Haasan’s last hit Vikram, the film is a dark action thriller also starring Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil in pivotal roles. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film released worldwide on June 3.

Ek Villain Returns Trailer Launch: Here’s how John Abraham responded when his chemistry with Disha Patani was compared to his and Bipasha Basu

The trailer of Ek Villain Returns was launched with much fanfare today amidst the entire cast ensemble which included John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria. As for the film, this glimpse into the world of villains showcased layered characters and power-packed action. Amidst that, it also gave us a sneak-peek into the chemistry of John – Disha and Arjun – Tara. During the trailer launch, one of the questions posed to John Abraham was the comparison between his chemistry with ex-girlfriend Bipasha Basu versus his chemistry with Disha Patani.

A press conference was held after the trailer of Ek Villain Returns was unveiled, in which, John Abraham was asked about his chemistry with Disha Patani. When it was compared to his chemistry with Bipasha Basu with reference to their films like Jism, he said, “I think there are certain actors, with whom I have worked with in the past, my chemistry with them was lovely. I think with Disha it was absolutely fantastic. And you will see it in the film.” He went on to add, “Kyunki bahut kam logon ke saath aisa hota hai ki (There are very few people with whom) when you see them onscreen, you look at them and you say, ‘it’s really working. With Disha, we felt that. It was really nice and special.”

Ek Villain Returns will also feature Arjun Kapoor and Tara Sutaria as an onscreen couple for the first time. Directed by Mohit Suri, even though it is a sequel to the Riteish Deshmukh, Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor starrer, the plotline and characters are different from its prequel.

Apple TV+ drama See starring Jason Jason Momoa to return for its third and final season on August 26, new teaser unveiled

Apple TV+ on Wednesday unveiled a first look at the third season of the epic, post-apocalyptic global hit series See, which will make its global debut on Friday, August 26, 2022. Starring Jason Momoa, the eight-episode third season will mark the last chapter of the series and will premiere with the first episode, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.

“We are thrilled to share this epic final chapter of See, which delivers all the intense drama, riveting action, and heartfelt emotion fans have come to expect, as well as what we think is a deeply satisfying conclusion to our story,” said See showrunner and executive producer Jonathan Tropper. “Building a world without sight was a particularly unique and continuous challenge that was met through the passionate and thoughtful collaboration of a phenomenally talented and diverse team both in front of and behind the camera. The show has been monumental labor of love for all involved, and we are eternally grateful for the way ’See’ has been embraced by viewers around the world.”

See is set in a brutal and primitive future, hundreds of years after humankind has lost the ability to see. In season three, almost a year has passed since Baba Voss (Momoa) defeated his nemesis brother Edo and bid farewell to his family to live remotely in the forest. But when a Trivantian scientist develops a new and devastating form of sighted weaponry that threatens the future of humanity, Baba returns to Paya in order to protect his tribe once more.

The series features cast and crew who are blind or have low vision and has been honoured for its representation of the visually impaired, winning the Ruderman Family Foundation Seal of Authentic Representation in 2020. “See” was also recognised this year with an NAACP Image Awards nomination for star Alfre Woodard in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category.

Starring alongside Momoa in the third season of “See” are ensemble cast members Sylvia Hoeks, Hera Hilmar, Christian Camargo, Archie Madekwe, Nesta Cooper, Tom Mison, Olivia Cheng, Eden Epstein, Michael Raymond-James, David Hewlett and Trieste Kelly Dunn.

See is executive produced by Steven Knight, Francis Lawrence, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, Jim Rowe, Jennifer Yale, Anders Engström and Jonathan Tropper, who also serves as showrunner. The series is produced by Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content.
