The first trailer for Deli Boys has finally arrived—get ready for a wild ride!

The upcoming Hulu and Onyx Collective series is a uniquely authentic, action-packed, laugh-out-loud comedy starring Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and Poorna Jagannathan.

Deli Boys follows spoiled Pakistani-American brothers Raj and Mir Dar, who are thrown into chaos when their deli-mogul father suddenly dies—only to discover he wasn’t just a businessman, but a full-fledged drug lord. With their trust fund wiped out, they’re reluctantly pulled into the underworld by their Lucky Auntie and her rival Ahmad Uncle, leading to a series of ridiculous, life-or-death situations that spiral out of control.

Created by first-time showrunner Abdullah Saeed and developed by Jenni Konner, with Michelle Nader (2 Broke Girls) serving as showrunner, the series is already shaping up to be a must-watch.

The 10-episode series debuts all episodes on March 6 on Hulu!

The trailer, released Tuesday, introduces Ali and Shaikh as Mir and Raj, respectively, two brothers enjoying the fruits of their father’s labor after building an empire of delis.

“It’s up to us to enjoy this life for everyone who looks like us but doesn’t have it,” Raj tells Mir in the Hulu teaser.

Their life of luxury is gone in the blink of an eye, however, when their father dies and the brothers are initiated into the real family business — trafficking drugs.

“You don’t get it,” Brian George’s Ahmad tells the brothers. “You lived your lives like spoiled brats — you were born into this.”

I am still coming off the high caused by The Muslim House activation at the Sundance Film Festival in late January. It was an inspiring space for fostering inclusion and elevating creative voices from American-Muslims and other emerging communities.

Despite President Donald Trump’s executive order around Dei programs, there is still momentum in what television audiences will soon witness. For the first time in American television history, three series that portray Muslim communities will premiere within the first three months of 2025, marking a pivotal moment in the continued evolution of Muslim portrayals in Hollywood. This marks a victory for Muslim creatives working to combat the lingering impact of the decades-old vilification, racism and harmful depictions of Muslims — and as we can see from deleted racist tweets by Karla Sofía Gascón supporting a ban of Islam in Europe despite being a member of a vulnerable community herself, there is still much work to do.

Longing to watch something different from action or rom com? Then, Rekhachithram is going to be the best pick for you. Yes, this South Indian crime thriller movie hit the silver screens in January, and after garnering a buzz at the box office, Rekhachithram is finally ready to take its most awaited Ott release on February 5, 2025.

Gautham Vasudev Menon & Mammootty’s Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse’s May Not Get Wide Release In Kerala? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Rumors are swirling online regarding Gautham Vasudev Menon’s highly anticipated Malayalam directorial debut, Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse, starring the legendary Mammootty. Despite the director’s and actor’s star power, reports suggest the film might not receive a wide release in Kerala, even as it gears up for its January 23, 2025, premiere.

One explanation floating around is the strong performance of other January releases, particularly Rekhachithram, starring Asif Ali, which has been dominating the box office. However, this rationale appears weak, as the Malayalam film industry often accommodates multiple major releases simultaneously.

Another theory points to the film’s experimental nature. Sources claim that the makers have opted for a limited initial release to gauge audience reactions before potentially expanding show counts across Kerala, starting from the evening of its release.

Why Were Some AI-Backed Scenes Removed From Jofin Chacko’s Rekhachithram? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Rekhachithram has emerged as a resounding success, earning both critical acclaim and audience admiration. Starring Asif Ali and Anaswara Rajan, the film is a bold historical fiction that intertwines an alternate history with real-life characters and events. The narrative unfolds across two timelines, the present and the past, centered on a pivotal event set on the shooting location of Mammootty’s 1980s classic Kaathodu Kaathoram.

In an ambitious move to recreate the past, the filmmakers employed AI technology to bring back the Mammootty of the 1980s. While the younger version of the iconic actor appears in only a handful of shots, his digital recreation, though impressive, leaves subtle hints that it is not the real Mammootty. Director Jofin T. Chacko, in an interview with OnManorama, shed light on the integration of AI in the film.
