三 | Jaideep Ahlawat reflected on the complexity of returning to a character in a sequel at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025, co-powered by Hyundai in association with Amanté’s press conference. To emphasise the same, he referenced his fan-favourite character Hathiram Chaudhary from Paatal Lok as a prime example. He recalled a defining moment from Season 1, where Hathiram describes the system as something that appears shabby on the outside but functions as a “well-oiled machine” within. He went on to recall how the character’s understanding was of a place where only the lever changes, never the machine. That understanding, Ahlawat said, shapes Hathiram’s worldview: no matter how hard he tries, he remains a tiny cog in a massive, unchanging structure. Picking up the character three years later in Season 2 presented its own challenges. Ahlawat explained that Hathiram is still stuck in the same chair, still the smallest part of the same system. The real task, he said, was portraying the “three-year fatigue”. This fatigue was growing with the boredom, the emotional distance from Ansari, and the ever-evolving but strained bond with his son. He recalled how, in the early episodes, Hathiram even steps into the background as Ansari rises in rank. However, his instinct as a top-tier investigator never truly fades. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Filmfare (@filmfare) Ahlawat went on to note that despite Hathiram’s frustration and reluctance, the moment a case takes an unexpected turn, “the investigating officer inside him wakes up,” driven not by ambition but by an irrepressible need for the truth. The actor highlighted the difficulty of balancing that very contradiction: a man who is exhausted by the system. And despite that, he is unable to exist without the thrill of uncovering what lies beneath. As the season progresses, Hathiram enters a space where he has no authority, no familiarity with the terrain, no power whatsoever. Yet he keeps going, only to find that, in the end, nothing changes. He returns to the same system, the same roles, the same limitations. “That’s the challenge of a sequel,” Ahlawat said. “The surprise is gone, and now the character must grow without losing what made him who he is.” This complexity is why he believes that sequels will always be harder to imagine and create than the first season of a show. The Filmfare OTT Awards 2025 are set to take place on 15th December 2025. Keep watching this space for all the updates.

四 | Jun Seomoon 则与她截然相反，是一个来自农村、根植于传统的年轻人。当 Arisa 的父亲委派 Jun 护送她前往大城市时，两人的性格发生了碰撞，并擦出了火花。这种意想不到的联系让这些青少年在瞬息万变的世界中开启了新的视野。表面上这是一个甜蜜有趣的“他们会在一起吗”的浪漫故事，但通过对处于十字路口的韩国的描绘——一个被日本占领、受西方影响、并在面对现代性时引发公民内心冲突的城市——这个故事获得了深度。这部时代剧以绚丽的全彩呈现，描绘了一个动荡时代中迷人的城市，以及两个核心的迷人角色。“Lovers of the Empire 是一个可爱的男孩遇见女孩的浪漫故事，背景是沉默的大屠杀和战斗，”Yudori 在一份声明中说。“在某种程度上，这就是作为韩国人的感觉：保持丰盈和无害的假象，而内心深处总有一些东西在酝酿，就在爆炸点之下。战争并不会止步于战场和炸弹现场，它们会渗透进我们的日常生活。
五 | ”“Fantagraphics 的使命长期以来一直是赞颂各种形式的伟大漫画创作，从该领域的早期领军人物到目前正在开创视觉叙事未来的全球当代艺术家，”Fantagraphics 副发行人 Eric Reynolds 表示。“Takumigraphics 是这一使命的延伸，是对日漫（Manga）、韩漫（Manhwa）和国漫（Manhua）以及其他东亚漫画在开创未来中所扮演的关键角色的认可。随着我们继续扩大亚洲作品的阵容，将它们归入一个品牌下是非常合理的，这能最好地展示在日本、韩国、中国及其他地区创作的优秀作品。
