After Alpha failure, Alia Bhatt joins Tumbbad franchise: Is it a right decision?
Producer and actor Sohum Shah sparked buzz on the internet, bringing Alia Bhatt on board for Tumbbad 2. The big development has already become the center of discussion.

About 200 films having theatrical releases, and barely 6 to 8 (being optimistic) garnering the moolah in a calendar year. These are petrifying odds for any filmmaker who, wanting to tell a story, also needs to deal with the logistics and business aspect of making a movie. Enter OTT revolution. Not only did the advent of OTT manage to accentuate the importance of entertainment but also provide | Click Here...
