Milind Soman's Sci-Fi Superhero of 90s 'Captain Vyom' Set To Return In New Avatar

Mumbai, July 9 - The Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd. is bringing the golden era of Indian entertainment back, this time on the big screens. As 90s kids, we have grown up watching some of the most popular television shows like "Shakitmaan", "Vikram Aur Betaal", "Byomkesh Bakshi", and "Captain Vyom", among others, which made our "Bachpan" remember. ## It is difficult for 90s kids to explain to today's kids what kind of shows we grew up watching. But, there will not be any more need to explain as some of those shows are making their way back in whole new different avatars and hopefully with the same charm and vibes, thanks to the production house Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd.## Earlier this year, Brewing Thoughts Private Limited announced the Shaktimaan film trilogy with Sony Pictures International Productions, and now, it has acquired the adaptation rights of another popular 90s show, "Captain Vyom". The show will be made into a five-part film as well as five-part web series in a modern avatar. ## The original sci-fi superhero show, created by filmmaker Ketan Mehta, featured Milind Soman in the title role and the show aired on Doordarshan from 1998-99. Ketan Mehta is looking super excited about this development and looking to take Captain Vyom forward into the millennium. ## "I am really excited. For me, Captain Vyom is an Indian-origin superhero for a global audience. And it's time to reinvent when India is dreaming of its space in the new century. I am looking forward to our partnership with BTPL to take Vyom forward into the millennium. I hope and wish that this superhero flies to newer heights and distant lands. This franchise, with an intergalactic space adventure at its heart, can also be a perfect platform to showcase the best VFX and CGI talent in our country", Mehta told Pinkvilla. ## Film journalist-turned-producer Prashant Singh, who is the co-founder of Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd, added, "It's a big challenge and a huge responsibility to attempt something like this, especially in India but we are keeping our fingers crossed. It's possibly the best time to attempt a space/sci-fi superhero adventure in our country. Also, it feels great that we are reliving our childhood days – of the 90s – through our planned adaptations of hit Doordarshan shows such as Shaktimaan and Captain Vyom, etc". ## The first film in this new franchise will go on floors next year and the talks are on with young, A-list stars and top filmmakers to helm the project. The original show also starred Rahul Bose, Madhu Sapre, and Kartika Rane in the lead roles. ## Brewing Thoughts P Ltd will develop the five-part film, five-part web series universe...

Akshay Kumar's 'Raksha Bandhan', Aamir Khan-Fronted 'Laal Singh Chaddha', Among Others To Premiere On OTT 8-Weeks After Theatrical Releases

Mumbai, July 8 - Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the gap between theatrical release and OTT premiere was reduced to just 4 weeks. This move impacted the exhibitors badly and also affected the box office potential of the films. ## The move of reducing the theatrical window was criticized by the theater owners but they were helpless and could do nothing but reduce the release window. However, with things looking bright now for the box office, reports suggest that the multiplex owners are to bring back the conventional 8-week theatrical window for all Bollywood movies. ## It has been said that all Bollywood films, starting from August 1st, will have to follow the pre-covid rule of an 8-week release window in theaters before going to OTT. The multiplex association of India said to have had conversations with all the producers and they are all on the same page now. Those, who will not follow the rule will not be allowed to release their movies in theaters. ## There are many big films from August onwards, which are carrying a lot of excitement and box office prospects. Akshay Kumar-fronted "Raksha Bandhan" and Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha" are scheduled to release on August 11, and both movies will now be premiering on OTT, only after 8-weeks of theatrical run. ## The movies which are releasing in July, most of them will have an OTT premiere, 4-weeks after the release in theaters. Yash Raj Films' "Shamshera", which is scheduled to release on July 22, is already in the contract with Amazon Prime Video for the 4-week window. "Ek Villain Returns", which is scheduled for July 29 release, might opt for an 8-week window, and the decision for the same will be taken in the coming days. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, July 7 - Back in 2020, renowned author Amit Tripathi's best-seller "Suheldev – The King Who Saved India" was announced to be adapted into a feature film by Tripathi's Immortal Studios with Wakaoo Films, and Casa Media. ## The pre-production for the film and the script work had begun, however, due to the covid-19 pandemic, makers had to push the movie indefinitely and since then there was no development on it. However, things are looking to be back on track and the makers have reportedly approached Ram Charan to play the legendary Indian King. ## According to IndiaToday.in, the makers are in talks with Charan, who is fresh from SS Rajamouli's mega-blockbuster "RRR". The modalities of the movie are currently being worked upon and if all goes well, Charan will be seen playing King Suheldev, who defeated the army of Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Maqsud in the Battle of Bahraich (present-day Uttar Pradesh). ## Earlier, there were reports saying the Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar would be playing the titular role, however, all the reports turned into rumors as there was no such development.
