Vinay Pathak-Ranvir Shorey reunite for ZEE5's 420 IPC
After Nail Polish and 200: Halla Ho, ZEE5 is back with another courtroom drama, 420 IPC, but this time the drama is on an economic offense. 420 IPC is directed and written by Manish Gupta, who has previously scripted the screenplay and dialogues for Akshaye Khanna starrer, Section 375. He has also directed Rahasya, based on the Aarushi Talwar murder case, and The Stoneman Murders based on the infamous stone-man serial killings. 420 IPC is produced by Zee Studios and Kyoorius Digital P.L. It stars Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Gul Panag and Rohan Vinod Mehra in pivotal roles. The ZEE5 Original Film will premiere on 17th December on the OTT platform.
Kay Kay Menon turns back the clock with Special Ops 1.5
In a candid conversation, actor Kay Kay Menon went on to spill the beans on the entire process of recreating his look back from 20 years. He said, “Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story was a thrilling experience. The young Himmat Singh is a man of dry wit and vigour at the same time. He has a young ambition that’s got him to work in the intelligence team and as much as he respects the opportunity he’s driven to change the forces with his avant-garde approach to missions. It was a truly emotional experience to go back in time and portray this character because there’s so much to learn from him and his experiences.”

The Wheel of Time influenced Game of Thrones
While author Robert Jordan started writing The Wheel of Time novels in the mid 1980s, there was only one epic that had dominated the entire genre till then. No points for guessing it was J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord Of The Rings. Jordan broke the format of the trilogy and thought differently, persuading his publishers to allow him to weave a sprawling tale over multiple volumes. Now, it has come to light that George R.R. Martin had earlier gone on record to give credit to the author saying, “I don’t think my series would’ve been possible without the Wheel of Time being as successful as it was”.
