Siddharth Malhotra excited about medical-drama Sanjivani 2

One of Indian television’s most popular shows Sanjivani has returned with its second season. Produced by Siddharth Malhotra, Sanjivani 2 aired its first episode on 12th August and received excellent response from the audience.

Producer Siddharth Malhotra, who has given his heart and soul to the show, is psyched up about the return of Sanjivani after the original series gained cult status more than a decade ago. The original show came at a time when Indian television was flooded with saas-bahu sagas. Sanjivani was like a fresh breath of air which impressed all segments of the audience.


Recreating a show that set such a high standard and became a mass-favourite was not an easy task. It has been a challenging but equally rewarding journey for producer Siddharth Malhotra. “There is always pressure and expectation while recreating a cult-classic. We did a one-episode preview and we have received a phenomenal response, so the show already has hype around it. The promo itself has been seen by over 2.5 million people. For me, more than the pressure, it is the passion of creating something which has been my dream. To make it what it was when I was 21 was one thing, now I am working with double the passion and hard work,” says the producer.

Siddharth is known for creating different content, and his expertise is not limited to television only. For the unversed, Malhotra has also directed noted films like We Are Family (2010) and Hichki (2018). Hichki, which released last year, marked the comeback of seasoned actress Rani Mukerji. It was one of the most successful films of the year.

Meanwhile, Sanjivani 2 has started airing. Featuring Mohnish Bahl, Surbhi Chandna, Namit Khanna and Gurdeep Kohli in important roles, the show airs Monday to Friday at 7:30 PM only on Star Plus.

Val Kilmer, the celebrated actor known for his roles in Top Gun, Batman Forever, and The Doors, has passed away at the age of 65.

Kilmer was a versatile performer who made his mark in Hollywood with a mix of blockbuster hits and critically acclaimed roles. Born in Los Angeles in 1959, Kilmer’s passion for acting led him to the prestigious Juilliard School, where he became one of its youngest-ever students. His career began with comedic roles in Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), but he soon transitioned to more intense characters, firming his reputation as a serious actor.

L2: Empuraan - A film that shattered records and sparked a political storm

Few films manage to be both a record-breaking success and a lightning rod for controversy at the same time. But L2: Empuraan, the much-hyped sequel to Lucifer, has done exactly that. The Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial, starring Mohanlal, has not only rewritten and shattered box office history but also sparked a nationwide debate on censorship, political narratives, and artistic freedom.

On one hand, it’s the fastest Malayalam film to gross £5.1 million (₹50 crore) in Kerala, the first Malayalam film to cross £10.2 million (₹100 crore) overseas, and a £20.4 million (₹200 crore) club entrant within just five days. On the other hand, it has been accused of pushing a political agenda, leading to 2m 8s, 24 last-minute cuts, a legal battle, and a full-blown culture war.
