Gulte Movie News And Politics
The Hollywood Reporter India cover says a lot without trying too hard. The South is clearly owning this frame. Basil Joseph, coming off the sharp surprise that was Maranamass, brings that quiet, thinking-actor vibe. Kalyani Priyadarshan, who clicked big time in Lokah, looks completely at ease, no effort showing. Dhruv Vikram carries the buzz of Bison with him, intense but grounded, while Kantara star Rukmini Vasanth adds that strong Kannada cinema presence that still feels fresh and exciting. Put together, the South lineup does not shout for attention. It just takes it.
The styling keeps things simple and sharp. The men stick to suits and blazers, clean tailoring, relaxed confidence. Nothing flashy, nothing forced. The women go all in with black gowns and thigh slits, bold but classy, and honestly, they nail it. It feels more like a powerful room than a photoshoot. Even with Bollywood names like Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon in the mix, no one overshadows anyone else. The balance works, and that says a lot about where Indian cinema is right now.
What stands out most is how busy everyone is. No one here looks settled or done. Kriti Sanon is still getting praise for Tere Ishq Mein, while Vicky Kaushal is already lining up Love and War. The South actors are equally packed with upcoming films, jumping genres, taking risks. This cover is not just about star power. It feels more like a checkpoint photo, a moment where different industries meet, all moving forward, none slowing down.
