Cobweb to premiere exclusively on Lionsgate Play on 27 October
Mumbai: Secrets from the past are back to haunt! What starts off as just some regular nightmares for Peter, unravels into a web of lies and secrets that pushes him into a corner, questioning his trust in his own parents. Lionsgate Play’s Cobweb is an intense horror film with heart-stopping jump scares and a storyline that is bound to shock you to your very core. Starring the iconic Antony Starr and Lizzy Caplan, Cobweb is set to release on 27 October exclusively on Lionsgate Play.
Talking about reading Cobweb’s script, fan-favorite Antony Starr said, “At a certain point I turned the page and went ‘Wait What?’ And it was the ‘pump the brakes, record scratch’ moment when I realized Oh My God, everything that I thought was something else and so you know I got really excited about it, and like a rule of thumb for me is, if I’m reading a script, do I read the script and find holes and go Well that doesn’t make sense or do I read a script and go oh, wow, like like, I have ideas around what’s already there. And this is one of those cases so it’s been amazing.”
Directed by Samuel Bodin, Cobweb releases exclusively on Lionsgate Play this 27 October.

Sony LIV acquires worldwide digital rights for Marathi romance Toh Ti Ani Fuji
Film shot in Japan and India to stream exclusively on the platform from 10 April 2026.
MUMBAI: Love knows no language, but this Marathi romance is about to speak to audiences far beyond its roots and it’s doing so with a scenic detour through Japan. Sony Pictures Networks India has acquired the worldwide digital rights for the Marathi-language romance feature Toh Ti Ani Fuji (also known as Main, Woh Aur Fuji), with an exclusive direct-to-digital release on Sony Liv scheduled for 10 April 2026. Sony Pictures Networks India will retain exclusive worldwide theatrical and linear rights.
Filmed extensively in Japan and India, the film marks an unprecedented Marathi-language romance set on an international canvas. It explores how relationships evolve under the pressures of distance, time, and shifting emotional realities, using Japan not merely as a backdrop but as an emotional landscape that mirrors the characters’ inner journeys.
Written by Irawati Karnik and directed by Mohit Takalkar, the story follows a deeply passionate relationship that gradually turns toxic due to contrasting personalities, shifting priorities, and unfair emotional expectations. Seven years after their separation, the former couple unexpectedly reunite in Japan, reopening old wounds and unspoken desires while questioning whether love altered by time can ever find its way back.
Producer Shiladitya Bora said the partnership with Sony Pictures Networks India reflects the growing belief that “regional is the new mainstream.” He added that the film’s multi-language digital release on Sony LIV will help it connect with newer audiences across India and the world.
Director Mohit Takalkar described the film as an exploration of how love changes in today’s urban world, shaped by ambition, geography, and the pressure to evolve. “It began as a very personal exploration of relationships, and to see it reaching a wider audience feels deeply satisfying,” he noted.
Actors Lalit Prabhakar and Mrinmayee Godbole highlighted the film’s intimate yet universal take on love, separation, and rediscovery. Godbole particularly praised how filming in Japan added a global dimension while keeping the story deeply personal.
From a toxic romance that travels from India to Japan and back, Toh Ti Ani Fuji promises an emotionally layered story that feels both specific and universal. For Sony LIV viewers, this first-of-its-kind Marathi film offers a chance to experience love, loss, and second chances with a refreshing international flavour.
The film streams exclusively on Sony LIV from 10 April 2026.
