National Award-winning filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria’s Four Line Broadens Its Horizons, Launching Two Fresh Directing Voices Indian National-Award winner director, Sudhanshu Saria has been carving a niche for himself through his work for the past two decades. His work in films like LOEV, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK, and ULAJH has drawn consistent recognition from the world’s most respected film institutions and he is now using that recognition and experience to launch two new voices onto the global filmmaking stage with two unique, genre-defying films: PECH and SILVERFISH. “About three years ago, Four Line started making a conscious effort to seek out and develop new talent that I could support with the kind of guidance and backing I wish I had had when I was starting out. The early years can be incredibly isolating, and for me, this has always been about paying that forward. With Pech and Silverfish, my intention is to create space for bold, original voices to tell stories that feel urgent, distinct and deeply personal. Both films are being led by exciting new directors, and I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing how their journeys evolve with these films and also in the years ahead,” shared Saria Written and Directed by debutant Kumar Chheda, PECH is a young adult film that examines the effects of class and marginalization in a throbbing metropolis like Mumbai. After an intense development period, Saria and Kumar formally launched at the Bangkok International Film Festival’s Pitch Market where they presented it to industry and ended up winning the Jury’s Prize. The film has garnered healthy interest from international co-producers and sales agents with several territories currently in negotiation. An alumni of AFiS, Kumar has previously written the fictional short film DAL BHAT which won India’s National Award for Best Short Film and Pech will be his feature debut. Co-Written by Saria, SILVERFISH is the second project going into production and will be the feature writing and directing debut for Raj Krishna. A gory creature-feature set in Silicon Valley, the film made its industry debut at the Tasveer Film Festival’s Pitch Market last year and has now been selected as one of five projects in development being presented to the Los Angeles Industry at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) where Krishna and Saria are both in attendance. Krishna’s previous short-format psychological- thriller PADMAVYUHA featured Jaaved Jaaferi and opened at the International Indian Film Festival of Toronto. Together, Pech and Silverfish signal the ambition and range of Four Line Films’ slate; spanning grounded social storytelling and elevated genre cinema. Both films are in pre-production at the moment with additional details under wraps for now. The initiative reflects Saria’s commitment to building a stronger ecosystem for first-time filmmakers.

In Emerald and Ease: Seerat Kapoor Masters Understated Glamour Seerat Kapoor in Emerald: A Lesson in Modern Restraint at the Global Spa Awards Seerat Kapoor’s Emerald Moment Is Defined by Quiet Power At the Global Spa Awards, Seerat Kapoor chose presence over performance—and in doing so, delivered one of the evening’s most compelling red-carpet moments. Wearing an emerald couture creation by Ishika Agarwal for Kiki, Kapoor explored the interplay of structure and softness with ease. The sculpted corset bodice framed her silhouette with precision, while feathered off-shoulder detailing introduced a sense of quiet drama. A thigh-high slit added fluidity, allowing movement to become part of the look rather than an afterthought. The choice of emerald felt intentional—rich, grounded, and timeless. Under the lights, the jewel tone held depth without overwhelming, striking a balance between classic elegance and modern sensibility. The styling echoed this restraint. Handcrafted jewellery from Mozarti offered a subtle luminosity, while minimalist strappy heels grounded the ensemble with a clean, refined finish. Nothing competed—everything aligned. Her beauty direction, crafted by Krisha Krishnani, remained understated—radiant skin, softly diffused eyes, and a neutral gloss that was enhanced rather than defined. Soft waves framing her face added a gentle, romantic finish, allowing the overall composition to feel effortless and complete. Styled by Ayushi Mishra, with creative assistance from Panchi Bezbaruah, the look came together with clarity and intention—proving that impact doesn’t always rely on excess. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXjqAd2jDZo/?igsh=MW9jcGExODd6NnRnNA== What truly set Seerat Kapoor apart, however, was her presence. In a space often driven by spectacle, she leaned into quiet confidence. There was no sense of performance—only ease, as though she belonged to the moment rather than arrived for it. As images from the evening began to circulate, the response was immediate. The look resonated for its balance—aspirational yet grounded, elevated yet wearable. With each appearance, Seerat Kapoor continues to refine her space in fashion—not by chasing attention, but by understanding it. And that is what lingered. ✨

Speaking about the new capability, Anup Govindan, Head - Sports Sales, JioStar, said, “Signal-led advertising reflects our focus on creating value across the ecosystem, starting with consumers and extending to brands and advertisers.

We are enabling brands to engage audiences not just when they are watching, but when they are most receptive. This first-of-its-kind partnership brings that capability to life at scale on JioHotstar. During marquee events like the TATA IPL, brands can reach the right audience at the right moment making engagement more meaningful, measurable, and outcome-driven.”

Tu Paas Thi…” Music Video Captures the Pain of Unfinished Love, Introduces Taniya Aacharya The upcoming music video “Tu Paas Thi…” brings a deeply emotional take on modern-day love, capturing a moment where two people meet for the last time — not because they want to part, but because life leaves them with no other choice. Directed by Deepali Meena, the project introduces Taniya Aacharya alongside actor Sunil Meena, who has earlier appeared in several television shows including StarPlus’ Anupamaa, crime dramas, and various screen projects. Unlike typical romantic narratives built on betrayal or conflict, “Tu Paas Thi…” revolves around two individuals who still love each other and wish to stay together, but are pulled apart by circumstances beyond their control. Their final meeting becomes a space filled with unspoken words, lingering emotions, and the weight of everything they cannot change. The teaser hints at a heartbreaking, intimate tone — where silence speaks louder than dialogues, and every glance carries the heaviness of a goodbye neither of them is ready to accept. It portrays love not as something that ends, but something that continues to live within memories, even after people walk separate paths. Visually, the music video adopts a cinematic yet grounded approach, with Director of Photography Siya Dynamic crafting frames that enhance the emotional depth while keeping the storytelling raw and real. Produced under Deepkraft Production and presented by Deepkraft Music, the project aims to resonate with audiences through its honest portrayal of love — where two hearts remain connected, even when life refuses to let them stay together. With its restrained storytelling and relatable emotion, “Tu Paas Thi…” stands as a reflection of those relationships that never truly end — they simply remain unfinished. The music video is scheduled to release on May 11, 2026, on the Deepkraft Productions YouTube channel. ___ Teaser 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceqjvv5bnH8 Teaser 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1vTy9S08WY Tu Paas Thil...
