Humhu spoke about Kalki 2898 AD co-stars Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.
Humhu says Prabhas is rightly called ‘darling’
Talking about working with the actors, Humhu said, "There is no scene with Amitabh Bachchan in this film. Hopefully there will be in the next part. But I got some very good scenes with Prabhas and Deepika. Prabhas is rightly called 'darling'. He taught me personally. In an action sequence, he took me to a side and gave me tips. He didn't need to do it, I'm a newcomer, and I was already a fan. But he gave me tips like an elder brother."
Humhu talks about scene with Deepika
"I remember in a scene with Deepika, I was getting nervous. So, she intentionally cracked a joke to make me laugh. This is a big deal. They are huge celebrities and don't need to do these. They are professional and big-hearted people. It was my fortune that I worked with them," he added.
Humhu on second part of film
Talking about working in the film, Humhu called it a "beautiful but difficult experience". He shared that he was injured while filming Kalki 2898 AD. On the release date of the second part of the film, Humhu said it will take happen within a year, he is "hoping, fingers crossed". He added that maximum filming of the second part is yet to be done.

Eleven-time X Games Moto X Best Trick medalist Jackson “Jacko” Strong is at X Games Ventura 2024 preparing for what he hopes will be a run that will send the Australian back down under with his eighth Best Trick gold medal.
Arguably the most unforgiving (if something goes wrong) of the contests that will shake out this weekend at the Ventura County Fairgrounds and Event Center, Big Trick artist Strong just might be the respected — and even feared — of the 150 action sports athletes on hand.
“It feels good to be in Ventura,” said Strong ahead of Saturday’s Big Trick competition. “It feels like just yesterday that we were at the last X Games. Now it has been 11 or 12 months, or whatever it has been since, and it just seems like it is right around the corner every time. It is really good to be here. I’ve done a lot of riding in the off-season. I’ve been on the bike the whole time and I’m ready to rock, or roll the dice, as they say.”
Having claimed his first X Games gold medal all the way back in 2011, Strong totally realizes there is a target on his back, and as the most accomplished Big Trick highflyer ever, the competition is looking to gun him down out of the sky.
“Yeah, I’ve been at it for a while now. I kind of feel like I’ve been doing it for a long time and have had success over the years, but I’ve also had equally as much defeat out of it, as well. I don’t know… Best Trick is a love-hate relationship. It’s a really tough contest, especially mentally. Every time out you’re going into doing something bigger than you’ve ever done before and it’s just a real play on the mind to try to get through the event and to get through the weekend. My nails get short this time of year as I’m always biting them.
“I did a lot more practice on the bike this year, so hopefully I can string it together. I’d love a gold medal, but at the end of the day, I just want to do the trick that I’ve set out to do and get that done and do it clean and if I can do that, well, I’ll be happy. It’s just so hard for me to get through an event these days because what we are doing is so gnarly. It’s a difficult one, for sure.
“It’s just a lot of practice and a lot of time in the foam pit. It’s just repetition over and over. Best Trick doesn’t seem to get any easier each year. It’s like no matter what you’re doing, you are kind of pushing yourself to 100-percent and you just have to perform and to just bring it.”
Runner-up and the silver medal winner in Best Trick 2024, Strong talked about the trick he will unveil come competition time Saturday night in Ventura.
“I went to a different trick than I did last year and just recently I decided to go back to the same trick that I did last year,” explained Strong. “I ended up working on the trick and getting it a lot bigger and a lot cleaner in the foam pit, so I’m really hoping that I can do an extended version of what I did last year. I realized that I still had some more to do with that trick. I wasn’t content with where I left it last year. I’m going to try and send that thing to the moon and get some real extension in that. That’s my X Games focus for this year.
“It’s X Games Best Trick and there is going to be some big new tricks out there, so for me, I just try and stay in my own lane. I don’t try and look at the competition or look at any of that stuff. I just focus on the job I have to do and why I’m here. I’m trying to get that done and that seems to help me mentally and to help me stay a little calmer over the weekend.”
Who does Strong believe he will have to cross swords with in his efforts to head back down under to Australia with more precious metal?
“Rob Adelberg is definitely going to be up at the top. Harry Bink will be up at the top. I don’t know how it is going to play out. Especially when it is one of those things that you can’t really predict. Whatever happens on the night, happens on the night. You can train all you want and have everything as good as you want and then you can just have a s****y run on the night and that’s it and the year’s work is over. There is so much work involved. I mean, 12 months of work boils down to 10 seconds. It’s just about trying to string the whole thing together and bringing something new. We’re trying to keep freestyle motocross exciting and trying to make it interesting for the fans to watch.
“It’s what it’s about for me, too. I want to leave my mark in the sport and bring some new things to the table. It’s X Games, you know? It’s the big one for the year. Everyone is here and the world is watching. It’s just about trying to keep a good balance of excitement and nerves.
“It’s just Best Trick for me here in Ventura. That’s my strength, so I’m sticking with it. I’ve got so much pressure on me in Best Trick alone, so it’s just too hard for me to try and branch out into anything else. I’ve literally done 12 months of work for one jump. You know I lead a pretty secluded life back in Australia. I just enjoy riding my bike and that’s what it’s about for me. I just want to get out there and do what I set out to do. That’s always the gameplan for me. It’s definitely nerve-racking. It’s most my nerve-racking weekend of the entire year. It’s a battlefield out there.”
A Greeley resident’s thriving music career proves dreams do come true, even for a young kid from Brighton.
The musician now works as a substitute teacher in the Greeley-Evans District 6 to spread the message to today’s youth that anyone can go from a teen playing in a garage band to opening for a band as big as Cheap Trick.
Christopher Charles Romero, who often performs under his solo artist name “Romero,” has reached a new high as a professional musician.
His fifth studio album, “Cinco De La Rocknrolla,” has received airplay on rock and country radio stations, including iHeartRadio and SiriusXM. The rise in popularity has given him opportunities to play with popular artists and bands, including Dwight Yoakam, Five Finger Death Punch, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, REO Speedwagon and more.
Now, Romero will open for Cheap Trick, Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductees, on Thursday at the Greeley Stampede.
“It’s kind of rare for somebody my age because I’m a little bit older than most of my peers,” he said about his songs gaining traction. “I felt like I got a second chance at this career in music, and I feel extremely grateful.”

Born and raised in Brighton, Romero started in a garage band when he was 16 years old. But his love for music “never wavered.”
That young kid from Brighton went on to have a career that spans over 25 years and counting.
Romero played with a handful of rock and heavy metal bands early in his career and then transitioned into a radio station job. Seven years ago, he became a solo artist performing under the name “Romero.”
For the past 30 years, he also has dabbled in the film industry as an actor and a music writer for TV and movies. In 1995, Romero received his first real acting gig in “Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead,” starring Andy Garcia and Christopher Walken.
Greeley feels like home
Last year, Romero and his wife moved to Greeley and immediately immersed themselves in the community. He plays guitar for the church band at Mosaic Church in Evans and started substitute teaching K-12 music and art classes in District 6.
“Coming back here has just felt like home,” Romero said. “We just fell in love with the community. I feel like I’ve been here my whole life.”
The substitute teacher job, which Romero called a “blast,” makes him excited about the future of music. Romero said it warms his heart to see children as young as kindergarten have a love and appreciation for music. He values working in a position that allows him to encourage all ages to chase their musical dreams and goals.

Before moving to Greeley, the Colorado native spent the past three years working in Nashville as a writer and producer with hobbyists and up-and-coming artists from all over the country. During this time, his free time went toward working on his own music for Romero.
As a solo artist, Romero plays guitar, bass, drums and piano on his records, on top of being the singer and songwriter. Romero played every single instrument on his most recent record “to challenge himself.”
When Romero plays live, he’s joined by other musicians, including Greeley native John DeWitt on the keyboards. The seven-piece live band, all from Colorado, plans to play music from all five of Romero’s records at the Stampede.
The band looks forward to playing on the same stage as one of their favorite bands, Cheap Trick.
Romero pulled from musical influences from his childhood — country and classic, hard and Southern rock — and incorporated those genres into his solo music. Listeners of Romero can expect to hear influences of bands from the past few decades, including Aerosmith, Van Halen, Kiss, Foo Fighters and Chris Stapleton.
Romero hopes the Stampede performance “will take the listener on a journey of my career as an artist.” As a songwriter, Romero gets personal on his records, making his music feel relatable and real to people.
“Whether in a little coffee shop or brewery … or playing somewhere like Red Rocks … that connection that you make with your audience, it’s a natural high,” he said. “If something in your music is relatable to those listening, It’s a cool feeling.”
