Rajat Barmecha has given us some incredible performances over the years. Barmecha has managed to charm the audience with his characters, be it Rohan in ‘Udaan’ or stealing our hearts as ‘Kartik’ from ‘The Girl In The City’. His chocolate-boy face has always swooned us.

Rajat is a boy next door who is just the perfect amount of all things. Over the years many actors have revealed finding it difficult to leave their character and the takeaways from it. Because as an actor when you portray a certain character, there are things that you pick up from it and it stays with you forever.

Speaking of the same Rajat opened up on always taking away a part of his character and implementing that in his personal life.

Rajat said, “I can talk about countless things which I believe to be a blessing as an actor. There is so much you...

The actor also believes in taking away a part of his characters and implementing that in his personal life.

“I can talk about countless things which I believe to be blessings as an actor. There is so much you learn from every film you are a part of and every character you play. Sometimes it’s too intense and sometimes it’s a subtle quality that stays with you. Like in ‘Udaan’, I played a writer but in reality, I had never written a word before I did that film. But while getting into the character, I found the writer within and today it’s one thing I love to do. Poetry became an integral part of my life,...

Debutant director Shubham Yogi’s feature film ‘Kacchey Limbu’ premiered to a rousing welcome at the ongoing Toronto International Festival here. Centred on gali (street) cricket in India, ‘Kacchey Limbu’ is the story of India’s aspirational youth displaying courage to break into new professions against their parent’s wishes. It is about sibling rivalry and breaking gender barriers. And it is about Indian ‘jugaad bazi’ (makeshift arrangements).

All this happens amid the raucous mohalla (colony) life in India.

Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pranjal Khandhdiya and Neha Anand, the film’s story plays out in the so-called underarm premier league matches staged in the parks of Mumbai.

Defying their parents’s expectations, the siblings Aditi (played by Radhika Madan) and Akash (played by Rajat Barmecha) realise that their childhood dreams of playing top-level cricket by joining two of the many housing cricket teams – Maharajas, Tenners, Badgers, etc. – in the so-called Underarm Premier League.

Jio Studios and Mango People Media’s coming-of-age film Kacchey Limbu is set to have its World Premiere at the 47th Toronto International Film Festival(TIFF) in September 2022. An official selection at the prestigious festival, Kacchey Limbu stars Radhika Madan (Angrezi Medium), Rajat Barmecha (Udaan) and Ayush Mehra (Call My Agent – Bollywood) in leading roles and has been helmed by debutant filmmaker Shubham Yogi. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pranjal Khandhdiya and Neha Anand, Kacchey Limbu will be screened as part of the Gala Presentations programme at TIFF.

A story of courage, determination and discovering herself, Kacchey Limbu is an emotional rollercoaster in which she decides to take matters into her own hands to prove to her family,...

Actress Achint Kaur recalls how, back in the 90s when she started out as an actress, people would discourage youngsters from joining the glamour industry. "When I entered the entertainment industry, I was already married and had a kid who was two. Since I was offered a role, and I never tried to get into the business of entertainment, things were not planned. I told my family, and they were under the impression that everything was wrong with the glamour industry, so there was no encouragement. Nobody looked at it as just another profession. Even the idea of me, getting into the glamour and entertainment industry was 'wrong'," says Achint, who returns in the web series "Hey Prabhu! 2".

"I was asked why was I doing this because my life was set, I was married, had a child, what else did I need? Honestly, in my initial days I was actually very under-confident because of that,...

Mumbai, March 18 (Ians) Actor Rajat Barmecha returns as the protagonist in the upcoming second season of the web series "Hey Prabhu". He says adulting is a tough process but it helps youngsters build their personality.

Rajat, who shot to fame playing the lead role in Vikramaditya Motwane's 2010 film "Udaan", plays the titular Tarun Prabhu in "Hey Prabhu". Tarun makes mistakes but his friends and parents understand him.

"Every generation presents its own challenges and, clearly, millennials are no different. We've all heard our parents say, humne toh kabhi aise gul nahi khilaaye (we never did such things) or you come across peers who brag about their escapades with their partners, and all you do is listen. Adulting is tough -- (there are) problems with work, family, love, and roommates. It is a phase we all go through at some point in life. And I think it is okay to mess up.

After the tremendous success of the first season, Mango People Media is back with season two of the web series Love, Lust and Confusion. The series is now available for a binge watch on Viu. And the show just got bigger with some stellar additions to the cast, which include well known B-town actors Shiv Pandit and Sanjay Suri, and Gaurav Chopra in a much larger role than his cameo in season 1.

Talking about the show, Producer Neha Anand says, ?The reaction to the first season had completely surprised us. The show had managed to find a connect with the young generation, especially women. Needless to say, we were excited at the prospect of bringing out the second season. Our endeavour has been to take the show notches high, in all aspects.? Love, Lust and Confusion had found a huge millennial fan base when it was released last year, becoming...

Viu?s series - Love,?Lust?and?Confusion?season?2 has gained?a phenomenal response since its launch.?Along with actors such as?Tara Alisha Berry, Gaurav Chopra, Shiv Pandit, Meiyang Chang,?the series?also?features fan-favourite Rajat Barmecha who plays the much-loved character, Johnny.

While season 2 revolves around Poroma?s ?Don?t-do-list? which has been creating quite a buzz?on social media, Rajat revealed his real life ?don?t do list.? When quizzed about it, he said,??I will never have any kind of relationship with my best friend?s girlfriend or with any girl who my friend likes. It?s a complete no-no for me. I will never break the bro-code.??Definitely, a sentiment that every millennial can relate to, much like the series which presents challenges and confusion that resonates with most millennials in the country. ?

The web-series chronicles the life of a young girl namely?Poroma?and her exciting experiences.

The trailer of Viu's most-awaited sequel of the year Love, Lust and Confusion season two, starring Tara Alisha Berry, Gaurav Chopra and Shiv Pandit in the lead roles, is out and we cannot contain our excitement! While season one chronicled the character Poromo Sarkar's journey of indecisiveness, physical explorations, and confusion, this season will see her strive hard to stick to her don't-do list as she continues to experiment some more with love. And interesting so, she is yet to make decisions about her old lovers!

Speaking about the show, actor Shiv Pandit who plays a crucial role in season 2 stated, "Love, Lust and Confusion to me is a show about friendships, fun, love, and laughter and I experienced all this and more during the course of the shoot. The show has a great ensemble and I hope everyone loves the sequel just as much as they appreciated season 1!"

Soha-Kunal testing waters for a year

Actress Soha Ali Khan, who moved in with actor Kunal Khemu after a relationship of three years earlier this year, says that this should give them time to see how.

Mumbai, July 14: Reacting to the mixed response to his second film "Lootera", director Vikramaditya Motwane says it is impossible to make everyone happy.

The director, who earned a lot of credibility with his internationally acclaimed 2010 directorial debut "Udaan", didn't receive the same response for "Lootera".

Despite being made with newcomer Rajat Barmecha in the lead, "Udaan" took off in a big way and became the talk of the town. On the contrary, made with stars like Ranvir Singh and Sonakshi Sinha, the period drama couldn't have the same effect.

"Yes, the film has got a mixed response, but you can't please everybody.

Mumbai, April 26: Busy time for Shazahn Padamsee. The actress will feature in Telugu remake of hit Hindi movie "Bol Bachchan" and as well as in a music video for new collection of Barbie dolls.

She has also finished shooting for "Disco Valley", a film based on rave parties that also stars Rajat Barmecha.

"Well, I have just finished a film called 'Disco Valley'... Again you'll see a completely new me,.

Mumbai, March 15: Ram Kapoor doesn't mind working with young actors and says it is a boon to team up with hard working youngsters.

He had teamed up with Rajat Barmecha in "Udaan" and now the actor is seen with Saqib Saleem and Rhea Chakraborty in his just released "Mere Dad Ki Maruti".

"The film belongs to these people (Saqib and Rhea). I just do my bit and leave. I enjoy working with such people. They are the future of the industry," said Ram.

"I would say that our future is very bright because they are so hard working, so sincere and want to do good work. It's enjoyable working with such people," the 39-year-old said.

Fans and celebrities, Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, Rakesh Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, Anu Malik, Khayyam, Randhir Kapoor, Ismael Darbar, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, all visited his home on Carter Road today.

Rajat Barmecha of Udaan and Shaitan fame recently shot for a music video for the famous rock band Indian Ocean. Rajat had met the band during the shooting of Udaan and he feels that the band helped him find the meaning of his life. After shooting for a short film titled Gulmohar with Arati Kadav, she asked Rajat if he wanted to do a music video. Rajat initially refused but after hearing the song and realizing that it is for Indian Ocean, his favourite band, Rajat immediately changed his mind and agreed to star in the video. The song called 'Bula Raha Hain Koi Mujhko' was shot in Nashik and Mumbai. The video is about 21 year old boy who takes off with his backpack and travels to random places and meets strangers in order to find the existence of human life and its meaning.

David Dhawan's younger son Varun who makes his debut in Karan Johar's Student Of The Year hurt his nose while shooting. However, the injury is neither serious nor will it affect the shooting drastically. Says the concerned father, David Dhawan, "It's just a hairline fracture on his nose. Varun is much better now. He will recover fully in a weeks' time. And he'll be back to shooting." The nose has healed enough for Varun to hang around with friends. And he's in his father's words, just chilling. Ronit Roy who plays Varun's sports coach in Student Of The year says the accident occurred when he was not around. "Such things happen. When I was shooting for Udaan the boy who played my son, Rajat Barmecha, accidently hit me harder on my face than intended. My nose cracked in three places. Varun had a minor mishap. He will be okay,...

Rajat Barmecha who won himself resonant raves for his performance as the repressed son in Udaan is all set to come together again with his on-screen pal Manjot Singh in debutant director Sajit Warrier's Disco Valley. This would be the third film where Rajat and Manjot would play buddies. Earlier this year they were seen together in Akshay Roy's short film The Finish Line which won a National award. Interestingly, Manjot who stole hearts and automobiles in Dibakar Bannerjee's Oye Lucky Lucky Oye was never supposed to be part of Disco Valley. He stepped in only when Vivaan Shah who was supposed to play Bharmecha's buddy opted out of the project suddenly. The rather unhappy producer Siddharth Jain said, "Yes it was supposed to Rajat with Vivaan. But Vivaan suddenly opted out because his dates were clashing with another film Mastaan. Which would have been okay were it not...
