Karishma Tanna wins Best Actress for ‘Scoop’ at Busan Film Festival

Hansal Mehta's Scoop won in two categories at the 2023 Busan Film Festival’s Asia Contents Awards and Global OTT Awards.

Actress Karishma Tanna has won the 'Best Lead Actress' award for the series Scoop at the Busan Film Festival 2023. She played the role of Jagruti Pathak, a journalist seeking justice in a politically volatile country in the web show.


In response to her win, Karishma Tanna expressed her gratitude and enthusiasm, stating, "I am truly humbled and elated by this recognition at the Busan Film Festival. It has been an incredible journey bringing Jagruti Pathak to life in Scoop. Big thank you to Netflix and Hansal Sir for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. This award belongs to the entire team who worked tirelessly to make this project a reality. I am immensely grateful to my fans for their unwavering support, and I hope to continue pushing boundaries and delivering powerful performances in the future."

Karishma Tanna wore a black saree on the red carpet of the Busan Film Festival, exuding cultural pride.

Director Hansal Mehta spoke of the Best Asian TV Series win at the Asia Contents Awards and Global OTT awards, saying, "This is a really proud moment for us to have received this recognition for Scoop as the best Asian TV Series in Busan. Our attempt at bringing alive a story that gripped India has been received with so much love, well beyond our borders. This award bears testimony to the spirit of Jigna Vora. Without her baring her heart to us, we would not have a story. To my creative partner Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul, the hard work of all those who worked behind the scenes, and the highly collaborative efforts of Netflix and Matchbox Shots."

He added, "I am happy for our exemplary team of actors and crew who have made this show what it is! I'm also happy that this cautionary tale of our times is getting this recognition. There could be no more crucial time to tell this urgent story of moral, ethical, personal, and journalistic hubris."

Scoop, created by Hansal Mehta, is a character-driven drama adapted from the book Behind Bars In Byculla: My Days in Prison by Jigna Vora.

The series delves into the gripping journey of Jagruti Pathak, a crime journalist whose life takes a turn when she is charged with the murder of fellow journalist Jaideb Sen.

The show takes on a rollercoaster ride as Jagruti finds herself in a prison cell alongside the very individuals she once reported on.

Apart from Karishma it also stars Prosenjit Chatterjee, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Harman Baweja, Tannishtha Chatterjee, and Deven Bhojani.

The show is available on Netflix.

Krrish 4 faces major setback as Siddharth Anand exits and Rakesh Roshan steps down as director

Fans waiting for Hrithik Roshan’s return as India’s homegrown superhero will have to hold on longer. The much-talked-about Krrish 4 has been delayed yet again, and this time, it’s due to a major shakeup behind the scenes.

Director-producer Siddharth Anand, who was earlier brought on board to steer the film, has now exited the project. Anand, known for hits like War and Pathaan, was supposed to co-produce Krrish 4 through his banner Marflix alongside Rakesh Roshan’s FilmKraft. However, with his upcoming commitments on King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, his schedule couldn’t accommodate the superhero film. Insiders clarify that Anand’s decision had nothing to do with the rumoured Rs 700 crore budget but was purely due to clashing timelines. Filming for King is set to continue throughout the year, leaving no room for Krrish 4 in his calendar.

The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards lit up Los Angeles on March 17 with a star-studded event at the Dolby Theatre. But it was Taylor Swift who stole the show, picking up a stack of fan-voted awards and showing the world why she’s still at the top of her game.

The tour, which kicked off exactly two years before the awards night, covered five continents and wrapped up in Vancouver in late 2024. Swift described it as the toughest challenge of her career but also the most rewarding. In a pre-recorded video message, she said the three-and-a-half-hour shows pushed her limits, but the energy and support from fans made it all worth it.
