EXCLUSIVE! Children’s Day Special: Manpasand Ki Shaadi Fame Akshun Mahajan Reveals He Still Watches Batman, Dragon Ball Z

Akshun Mahajan, who has already won viewers’ hearts with his charming screen presence and impressive performances, continues to shine with every new project. The actor earned widespread love and appreciation for playing the lead role in Rajshri Productions’ Manpasand Ki Shaadi on Colors TV, where his natural acting and emotional range made him a standout favorite among fans.

On the occasion of Children’s Day today, Akshun Mahajan takes a nostalgic trip back to the moments, cartoons, and lessons that shaped the person he is today.

Akshun Mahajan Reveals His Childhood Dreams

During an exclusive conversation, Akshun Mahajan reveals his childhood was filled with superheroes, animated battles, and simple joys that still stay with him. For him, childhood entertainment meant two things – Batman and Dragon Ball Z. Akshun admits he still watches them every single day, even if it’s just for five minutes. He shares, “It’s my way of reliving those old times,” Whether it’s early morning or late at night, these shows continue to bring him comfort.

Interestingly, before acting entered his life, Akshun had an entirely different dream — one inspired straight from the world of Goku. “I wanted to go Super Saiyan.” As a child, Mahajan spent hours trying to transform into the powerful form he admired so much. That childhood fantasy, he says, made him believe in becoming stronger and evolving constantly.

These shows didn’t just entertain him; they shaped his values, too. Akshun credits Batman for teaching him loyalty, ethics, and the importance of staying true to one’s path. From Dragon Ball Z, he learned the meaning of family and the importance of remembering your roots. He reflects, “These two cartoons played a big part in making me who I am.”

Akshun Recalls Flying ‘A Lot’ Of Kites As A Kid

When asked about a childhood memory that still brings a smile, Akshun lights up instantly. He recalls long winters in Punjab spent flying kites on the terrace, especially during the January kite festival. He said, “I used to fly a lot of kites actually, the entire winter until Baisakhi. Easily one of my fondest memories. And still, when I get the chance, I do travel back home and I go fly kites at my old terrace.”

This Children’s Day, Akshun Mahajan reminds us that the kid inside us never really goes away – and maybe, that’s the best part of growing up.

Happy Children’s Day!

House of the Dragon favourite stars in glamorous first look at all-new BBC drama from acclaimed writer

After the success of BBC’s Mood, Nicôle Lecky is back for yet another drama and this time round, Wild Cherry looks to be just as dramatic and twisted as Lecky’s first series.

Not only has Lecky created and written the series, she’s also starring in the show as Gigi, a fellow resident of the affluent neighbourhood of Richford Lake that is drawn into the drama encircling the main mother-daughter duos at the heart of this tale.

The series follows friends Juliet (Eve Best) and Lorna (Carmen Ejogo), two successful working mothers, who are shocked when their daughters get embroiled in a school wide scandal.

Well now, we have a juicy first look at Wild Cherry, thanks to a brand new official trailer that has just landed – and boy, does it look like a series that is prime for a binge-watch.

Alongside the trailer, the official release date for the series has also now been confirmed, and will land on BBC One and iPlayer on Sunday 15th November.

“In this town, they had wonderful lives,” we hear Lecky’s Gigi narrate at the start of the trailer. “It was a world of privilege for all of them but in Richford Lake, everyone was hiding something.”

We see flashes of the glamorous lives in question, from Juliet in the middle of a professional photoshoot to Grace (Imogen Faires) and Allegra (Amelia May) enjoying time at their private school together and then, going to parties in lavish homes.

But we then see Allegra admit to a boy that there’s a secret messaging app going round their school and we soon see things get a whole lot darker. It turns out that students have to pay to be featured on there, posting provocative pictures in exchange for likes and comments, it seems.

It’s clear there’s drama brewing in both camps of students and their parents as we see the adults sit down for a dinner party, which looks to be rather tense. But then things take a turn for the worse when we see that one of Grace and Allegra’s friends has gone missing, with the police on the search for the truth.

As we see both Grace and Allegra’s mugshots on a board in a police station, could they have something to do with it? But that simmering tension boils over into Juliet and Lorna’s own dynamic, with Lorna telling Juliet to not tell her how to parent her own daughter.

“Nobody knew what they were capable of – until it was too late,” we then hear as the scene shows Juliet, Allegra, Lorna and Grace all staring seriously at their reflections in a mirror. Could it be in the aftermath of something terrible? We’ll just have to wait and see.

The official synopsis for Wild Cherry reads: “In Richford Lake things appear perfect for super-mum Juliet (Eve Best) and business mogul Lorna (Carmen Ejogo), but when their teens Grace (Imogen Faires) and Allegra (Amelia May) are accused of a shocking scandal at their exclusive private school, toxic secrets and lies ripple throughout the community.

“A coming-of-age drama for both mothers and daughters as they navigate privilege, power and social media. “Like mother like daughter” rings loudly in a complex world, where danger and betrayal is never far from the surface – even in a perfect town.”

“It’s about the power of the Glow.” Iconic Events has debuted a brand new trailer for the 40th Anniversary re-release of the martial arts cult classic The Last Dragon, directed by Michael Schultz, excutive produced by Berry Gordy, and originally released in 1985. Yet another totally rad, extra badass, wacky fun 80s movie that is worth watching sometime if you’ve never seen it before. “It’s going to be 1985 all over again in movie theaters across the country when Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon returns to cinemas nationwide October 19, 20 and 22 for the first time in 40 years.” Don’t feel old, though! Instead… dance to the beat of the rhythm of the night and catch the glow of this inimitable combination of action, comedy, music and kung fu, a movie that an entire generation of fans has never seen on the big screen.” In New York City, a young man searches for a Master to obtain the final level of martial arts mastery known as the Glow. Starring Taimak, Vanity, and Julius Carry, Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon also features notable names like Chazz Palminteri, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Queen Esther Marrow and, one of his earliest film roles, William H. Macy. This should be a blast on the big screen – take the whole family for a fun time watching Leroy Green kick ass.

Here’s the new 40th Anniversary trailer (+ poster) for Michael Schultz’s The Last Dragon, from YouTube:

This action-packed story of bravery, dedication, and physical prowess tests the limits and goals of a once mysterious self-defense art form. Martial arts expert Leroy Green (Taimak) seeks to achieve the ‘final level’ in his craft – the level beyond the dragon, beyond excellence. On his quest, Leroy falls in love with a beautiful singer and video disc jockey, Laura Charles (Vanity). Together, they confront a power-hungry record producer bent on revenge against the young singer, and a bloodthirsty egomaniac determined to fight and permanently defeat Leroy. This romantic story centers on the life and death struggle between the love of power and the power of love. Leroy must ascend to the final level, but can he protect Laura’s life at the same time? The Last Dragon is directed by Michael Schultz, his 12th feature film at the time after making Krush Groove (1985) and before Disorderlies (1987). The screenplay is written by Louis Venosta. This originally landed in theaters back in March 1985. Iconic Events will re-release The Last Dragon in US theaters again for a few nights – October 19th, 20th & 22nd, 2025.

Although the makers of Jr NTR’s upcoming film, Dragon (working title), have been shooting silently, speculations continue to rife about the action entertainer. The film is more than 50 per cent done, but the makers haven’t officially announced the leading lady’s name.

House of the Dragon star calls out women being labelled “difficult”

written by jummy84

Olivia Cooke, star of House of the Dragon and new Prime Video series The Girlfriend, has spoken about the use of intimacy coordinators in the film and TV industry, and how women are still labelled “difficult” for raising issues.

Speaking with The i Paper, Cooke gave a shout-out to the intimacy coordinators on The Girlfriend, before adding: “It’s amazing to me that people had to just fudge their way through those scenes before those people existed.”

Cooke said that sex scenes put actors in “really precarious and vulnerable situations”, and that the inevitable embarrassment is amplified for “those who are just starting out and don’t have the vocabulary to say what they’re not comfortable with”.

“And for women, who’ll often get labelled ‘difficult’ or ‘a b***h’ for speaking up,” she continued.

Cooke added that good intimacy coordinators will “sense hesitation and become your voice”, and that while she believes “showing intimacy, passion is an integral part of reflecting the human experience”, it can be done without actors left feeling like “a chunk of yourself has been taken”.

In The Girlfriend, Cooke plays Cherry, the titular girlfriend of Laurie Davidson’s Daniel. When Daniel’s mother, played by Robin Wright, finds herself suspicious of Cherry, the two end up in a power struggle to have the greatest influence over Daniel.

Cooke is perhaps best-known for playing Alicent on House of the Dragon, but she has also had major roles in films such as Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and Ready Player One, as well as series including Bates Motel, Vanity Fair and Slow Horses.

The Girlfriend is available to stream on Prime Video now – try Amazon Prime Video for free for 30 days.
