Manoj Bajpayee and Gulshan Devaiah to headline Hinterland

Actors Manoj Bajpayee and Gulshan Devaiah have been signed on to topline the forthcoming Hindi film Hinterland. Set in the wilderness of India, the movie will be produced by Honey Trehan and Abhishek Chaubey.

The film will mount the shooting floor in 2019, after Honey Trehan wraps up his directorial debut Raat Akeli Hai, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte in principal roles.


Hinterland will be helmed by debutant Rahil Patel, who has previously assisted Abhishek Chaubey on such movies as Dedh Ishqiya (2014), Udta Punjab (2016) and the forthcoming Sonchiraiya.

Talking about the film and his character in it, National film award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee says, “Hinterland is a completely untold story about a community that has not been given due justice. In the film, I play a character who is torn between his love for his brother and his job, while also constantly struggling to survive. I have done a small but significant role in Abhishek’s Sonchiraiya besides being a big fan of his work. I have also known Honey for many years.”

Hinterland is an official selection in the 12th Film Bazaar Co-Production Market.

Why celebrity chat shows remain India’s favourite way to peek behind the curtain

Highlights:

  • Chat shows let us see stars up close.
  • It’s not gossip, it’s small personal moments.
  • Simi, Karan, and Kapil all changed the style.
  • OTT and regional shows give more relaxed chats.
  • Audiences keep watching because stars feel real.

So, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s show, Two Much, is already near its fourth episode. And people keep asking: why do we love watching stars sit on sofas so much? It’s not the gossip. Not really. We’re not paying for the gossip. We’re paying for the glimpse. For the little wobble in a voice, a tiny apology, a family story you recognise. It’s why Simi’s white sofa mattered once, why Karan’s sofa rattled the tabloids, and why Kapil’s stage made everyone feel at home. The chat show isn’t dead. It just keeps changing clothes.
