The Empire trailer: This Kunal Kapoor, Drashti Dhami, Dino Morea and Shabana Azmi starrer looks grand

A few days ago, it was announced that a series titled The Empire will start streaming on Disney+ Hotstar soon. The series stars Kunal Kapoor, Drashti Dhami, Dino Morea, and Shabana Azmi, and it is created by Nikkhil Advani.

On Saturday (07), the trailer of the series was released. Disney+ Hotstar took to Twitter to share the trailer with everyone.


They posted, “The story of a king battling against enemies, fate, family, death and even himself, in search of his kingdom. Hotstar Specials The Empire. All episodes streaming from August 27th. Trailer out now. #HotstarSpecials #TheEmpire @kapoorkkunal @AzmiShabana #DinoMorea @drashti10.”

Well, after watching the trailer we can say that this series is surely mounted on a grand scale. However, we cannot ignore that a few scenes in the trailer remind us of Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. The series has some talented actors and in the trailer, it’s Drashti Dhami, Dino Morea, and Shabana Azmi who steal the show.

The Empire surely looks like a treat for Drashti Dhami’s fans as they will get to watch her in a never-seen-before avatar. This will mark her digital debut.

While talking about the series, the actress in a statement had earlier said, “I have played a myriad of characters in my years in television but this is a first for me. My look in The Empire reflects royalty but also allows her to shapeshift into the warrior she can be. Every look test was a thrilling experience that helped me understand her even more.”

Based on Empire of the Moghul by Alex Rutherford, The Empire will start streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from 27th August 2021.

John Abraham reacts to Middle East ban on 'The Diplomat': “We never pointed fingers at Pakistan”

John Abraham’s latest political drama, The Diplomat, has quietly become a sleeper hit back home but the film has run into unexpected trouble overseas. It has been banned in several Middle Eastern countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman. There’s been no official explanation, but the decision has left the actor surprised and disappointed.

In an interview, John addressed the backlash. “We’ve shown Pakistani characters—lawyers, judges, even cops—as upright and principled. This is not a film made to insult any country. If anything, we were careful to show a fair picture,” he said. The actor added that the film avoids nationalist chest-thumping, something he was clear about from the start.

Monica Lewinsky flips Clinton scandal into power move with podcast & red carpet comeback

Nearly three decades after she became a household name for reasons beyond her control, Monica Lewinsky is showing the world a very different side of herself, one that has nothing to do with scandal and everything to do with reinvention.

On April 3, she attended the opening night of Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway, a production backed by George Clooney. The red carpet was packed with A-list names like Jennifer Lopez, Uma Thurman, Hugh Jackman, Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber, but it was Lewinsky who caught attention in a strapless black gown with ruffled edges and a quiet confidence that signalled how far she’s come.

Madonna says 'forgive me' as she ends 20-year feud with Elton John

After years of trading public jabs, Madonna and Elton John have quietly made peace. What began as a bitter rivalry has now turned into a moment of mutual respect and possibly, collaboration.

Their fallout dates back over two decades, sparked by Elton John’s harsh criticism of Madonna’s performances. From mocking her Bond theme in 2002 to accusing her of lip-syncing and calling her names at public events, Elton didn’t hold back. At the 2004 Q Awards, he famously questioned her place in the Best Live Act category, saying anyone who lip-syncs “should be shot.”
