Mumbai, Jun 25 :  Actor Kiara Advani will play the lead role in Netflix's new Indian original film "Guilty", to be produced by filmmaker Karan Johar.

The project will mark yet another collaboration between the actor and the producer after the 2018 film "Lust Stories", which was released by Netflix on its platform.

To be directed by Ruchi Narain, "Guilty" explores the different versions of truth that emerge when a small-town girl accuses the college heartthrob of rape. 

Seen through the eyes of his musician girlfriend, this story makes us question who is truly "guilty" in such circumstances.

Narain is best known for writing screenplays of films such as "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi" and "Calcutta Mail". As a director, she has helmed films like "Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow" and "Hanuman Da' Damdaar".

The drama film will be produced by Johar's Dharmatic, the digital content arm of the filmmaker's Dharma Production.

The movie is slated to release on Netflix later this year.                     [Agencies]

Mumbai, Oct 10 (PTI) Streaming giant Netflix said it is assessing its options ahead of the shoot of "Sacred Games" season two in the wake of a controversy surrounding Phantom Films and the show's writer Varun Grover. 


Kashyap and Motwane had helmed the highly acclaimed first season of "Sacred Games" which had Varun Grover as one of its writers.

Amid speculations regarding the show's future, Netflix said in a statement, "At this time we are evaluating options on the path forward." 

Last year, a woman employee at Phantom Films, which had Vikas Bahl as one of the partners along side Kashyap, Motwane and Madhu Mantena, had alleged that Bahl behaved inappropriately with her during a trip to Goa in 2025. 

Before the victim's account went public in a recent interview, Kashyap and Motwane put out statements and announced that their production house Phantom Films stands dissolved. 

Writer-lyricist Grover was anonymously accused of sexually harassing a junior in Banaras Hindu University (BHU), a charge he categorically denied.
