NEW DELHI: Mahaakshay Chakraborty, son of dancing star Mithun Chakraborty, says he is getting used to people wanting to compare him with his father. “People have tendency to compare things but now I am use to it. I am really okay with this. This doesn’t bother me. I don’t mind the opinions. It’s part of my life.”
Popularly called Mimoh as he worked in the film Haunted, Mahaakshay is playing his first major role as a hero in the film Ishqedarriyaan directed by V K Prakash. He will be playing the role of Aagam Diwan, a millionaire who loves his profession more than anything else.

With this film she will be playing a lead role as Luvleen, a teacher by profession, who wants to collect donations.
Talking about the film, she said, “More than me my mother is excited for the film. She always wanted to see me in an Indian avatar and with this movie her dream of watching me like this is going to come true.”
Bilal Saeed too gave a treat to the audience by singing songs from the film, He said, “In Pakistan people are crazy for Indian singers and we always complain that we never get to play our own songs.”

Kridhan Infra enters film production with AI-led feature film
Infra firm debuts AI-powered film marking RSS centenary
MUMBAI: Kridhan Infra Limited is swapping hard hats for headsets. The infrastructure company has announced its entry into film production and media technology through its subsidiary, Kridhan Mediatech Private Limited, with the nationwide theatrical release of Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh, an AI-led feature film.
With Shatak, the company is not just stepping into cinema but staking a claim in what it describes as one of the world’s early full-length AI-driven feature films. Artificial Intelligence has been embedded across the creative and production process, from script visualisation and environment creation to modelling and production design.
The film commemorates 100 years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, tracing defining moments, personalities and historical phases that shaped its journey. By combining archival storytelling with algorithm-powered creativity, the project attempts to blend heritage with high technology.
For Kridhan Mediatech, this is only the opening scene. The subsidiary’s broader ambition spans AI, CGI, virtual production systems and scalable content models for both theatres and digital platforms. The move signals a strategic diversification for Kridhan Infra, traditionally rooted in engineering and construction.
The timing aligns with India’s growing push to become a global AI powerhouse. At the 2026 AI Impact Summit, prime minister Narendra Modi urged innovators to design in India and deliver to the world. Kridhan Mediatech’s initiative positions itself squarely within that narrative, aiming to export technology-enabled storytelling beyond domestic audiences.
India’s media and entertainment industry, valued at over Rs 2.5 lakh crore, alongside a rapidly expanding AI economy projected to cross Rs 1.4 lakh crore in the coming years, offers fertile ground at the intersection of cinema and code.
“With Shatak, we proudly present one of the world’s first AI-led full-length feature films while marking our strategic entry into film production and media technology through our subsidiary,” the company said in a statement. “Our vision is to combine India’s rich narrative heritage with forward-looking innovation. This is just the beginning of building globally competitive, technology-enabled cinematic experiences.”
From infrastructure to imagination, Kridhan’s latest venture suggests that in today’s India, even storytelling can be engineered.
