Fronted by Radhika Madan, Indian film Sanaa is set to open the upcoming edition of the UK Asian Film Festival, which will take place from May 4th to May 13th.

Madan along with director Sudhanshu Saria will grace the special screening at the BFI Southbank in London.

Excited about the screening, Radhika said, "Sanaa is a very special film for me. It's a film that talks about unresolved trauma, something that a lot of people go through but never talk about. It was a challenging role for me, and I am so glad that it has been appreciated by audiences worldwide. I am really excited to present the film at UK Asian Film Festival and to share Sanaa with the audience there."

Sudhanshu Saria also expressed happiness. "What an honour for the entire team to launch the 25th edition of UK Asian Film Festival with our film! We are thrilled to be part of this wonderful event that has been celebrating diverse voices and helping change minds for the past 25 years. Sanaa is an intimate and raw portrait of the modern Indian woman and I can't wait to see how it resonates with British audiences," he said.

Sanaa follows the story of a headstrong and ambitious girl (Radhika), waging an internal battle that is rooted in unhealed trauma. Pooja Bhatt, Sohum Shah, and Shikha Talsania are also a part of the film.

Millie Bobby Brown and the rise of cinema’s first ‘Stream Queen’ in The Electric State

At just 21 years old, Millie Bobby Brown has already secured her place as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. The star of Stranger Things, who first captivated audiences with her portrayal of Eleven, now finds herself at the forefront of Netflix’s most high-profile projects. However, her latest role in The Electric State, a mindbogglingly expensive Netflix sci-fi film, has sparked mixed reactions and raised questions about her trajectory as a ‘Stream Queen’ – a title that comes with both acclaim and criticism.

The Electric State, in which Brown stars alongside Chris Pratt, has not been warmly received by critics. Described by The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey as “punishingly obvious and completely incoherent,” the film’s one-star reviews have been echoed by many others. The movie, which centres around two hollow characters moving aimlessly through a barren plot, seems to be yet another forgettable venture in Brown’s recent streak of Netflix productions.

Jonathan Majors breaks silence on being sexually abused by men and life after assault conviction

Jonathan Majors is speaking openly about painful experiences he has kept quiet for years. The actor, once poised to be one of Hollywood's brightest stars, is now talking about his troubled past and uncertain future. In a recent interview, Majors revealed that from the age of nine, he was sexually abused by both men and women from individuals he trusted, who should have protected him. His father had already left by then, leaving his mother, a pastor, to raise him and his siblings alone in Dallas.

Until now, Majors had never publicly shared this part of his life. He said that the experience left deep scars that he carried into adulthood. "I was messed up," he admitted. It wasn’t until recently, after facing his own legal troubles and attending court-ordered therapy, that he began to confront these childhood traumas.
