Mustafa Abbas to next star in Khabees

Your surname can help you get your first break in showbiz, but one should never forget that the audience is the real kingmaker who decides how far one goes from that starting point. There is a long list of star-children in Bollywood, who could easily enter the filmdom using their influential parents’ surnames. But how many of them could reach the apogee of stardom? How many of them could scale the same heights as their parents did in their heyday?

In recent years, Mustafa Burmawalla is perhaps one of the best examples of a star-kid failing to live up to high expectations of the audience. Mustafa is the son of Abbas Burmawalla from the famous filmmaker duo Abbas-Mustan. The young actor made his acting debut romantic thriller Machine in 2017. Despite being directed by Abbas-Mustan, the movie fell flat at the box-office. It was such a huge disaster that Mustafa struggled a lot to get work after its release.

But after two years since the release of Machine, he is set to start afresh with Sarim Momin’s forthcoming film Khabees. Mohaan Nadaar is bankrolling the film. Just like his debut vehicle, the next film of Mustafa is also in thriller space. Besides him, Siddhant Kapoor and Tanishaa Mukerji also play important characters in it.

Khabees will mark the silver screen comeback of not only Mustafa but actress Tanisha also. The daughter of veteran actress Tanuja and sister of Kajol, Tanisha was last seen in biographical film Anna in 2016. Siddhant was last seen in Bombairiya (2019), a film not many people know about.

Mustafa Burmawalla took to social media to share the first poster of Khabees. In the poster, we can see silhouettes of a group of musicians performing, along with a guitar motif. The film is expected to begin production soon. More details are awaited.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
