Its screening in Thimphu was met with an overwhelmingly positive response with audiences deeply moved by its emotional depth, cross-cultural narrative and universal themes of love, resilience and human connection.
 

In an era where cinema is often driven by spectacle, Love in Vietnam stands out as a poignant reminder of the medium’s ability to heal, unite and build bridges across cultures and geographies. Produced by Captain Rahul Bali and directed by Rahhat Shah Kazmi, the film is inspired by the celebrated novel Madonna in a Fur Coat. Shot across the breathtaking landscapes of Vietnam, it features a compelling cast including Shantanu Maheshwari, Avneet Kaur and Vietnamese superstar Khả Ngân, alongside legendary Indian actors Raj Babbar, Farida Jalal and Gulshan Grover.

Also, it is a visual treat as it showcases the beauty of Vietnam in a spectacular manner. It is heartening to see such artistic endeavours bringing people together and strengthening the bonds of friendship between nations.”
 

The film has been garnering international acclaim, most notably winning two prestigious awards at the Seoul Global Movie Awards 2025 in South Korea – Best Film of Asia and Best Director of Asia – making it the first Indian film to achieve this distinction. Additionally, lead actress Avneet Kaur won the Most Promising Performer (Female) award at the Iconic Gold Awards 2026 held in Mumbai, in recognition of her outstanding performance in the film.

Producer of the film, Captain Rahul Bali, said, “Cinema is a powerful bridge between cultures and communities. We are deeply honoured that Love in Vietnam was showcased in Bhutan in the presence of such esteemed dignitaries.

The inauguration of Noida International Airport at Jewar marks a defining moment for the Yamuna Expressway corridor, unlocking a new phase of growth, connectivity, and economic opportunity. As one of India’s largest greenfield aviation projects, the airport is being developed over approximately 1,300 hectares and, upon completion of its first phase, is expected to handle around 12 million passengers annually. In its ultimate vision, the airport is planned to scale up to accommodate up to 70 million passengers per year, positioning it among the leading aviation hubs in the country.

Strategically located along the Yamuna Expressway, the airport will significantly enhance connectivity between Delhi-NCR and key domestic as well as international destinations. Its proximity to major infrastructure projects, including the upcoming Film City, Olympic City, logistics hubs, and industrial zones, is expected to generate large-scale employment and drive sustained demand for real estate in the region.

ACE Group has been at the forefront of this transformation, with a diverse portfolio of developments aligned with the corridor’s rapid evolution. Having already delivered reputed projects across Noida and Greater Noida, the Group is now strengthening its presence along the Yamuna Expressway, where it is currently developing approximately 10.8 million sq. ft. of thoughtfully planned spaces. These projects are designed to meet the rising demand for integrated environments that seamlessly combine lifestyle, business, and hospitality.
 

In the commercial segment, Ace YXP stands out as a landmark retail and entertainment destination in the making. Conceptualized as a high-street commercial mall, it is designed to offer an immersive shopping and leisure experience. The project is set to become operational this year, with several leading brands already signed up, positioning it as a key social and commercial hub for the region. The company is also advancing Ace Terra, an under-construction premium residential development along the Yamuna Expressway. Envisioned to offer a refined living experience, the project brings together contemporary architecture, thoughtfully designed residences, and lush green surroundings.

Further reinforcing its growing footprint, the company has successfully delivered expansive, integrated townships designed to offer a holistic and future-ready lifestyle. Spanning over 100 acres, one township seamlessly blends modern infrastructure with thoughtful urban planning, bringing together a diverse portfolio of developments. The plotted development, Ace Acreville, has already been completed, while Ace Verde features intelligently designed contemporary apartments, and Ace Hive presents a curated collection of business suites set to be professionally managed by Sarovar Hotels—introducing a distinctive hospitality-led dimension to the commercial ecosystem.

Complementing this is a 68-acre integrated township where the plotted development, Ace Estate, stands completed, alongside Ace Edit, a dynamic commercial hub tailored for a new-age, experience-driven workforce. The development also includes luxury studio suites, enabling a seamless live-work lifestyle within a vibrant, self-sustained environment.

Strategically located in proximity to landmark developments such as the Buddh International Circuit and the new Noida International Airport. With a strong emphasis on refined design, expansive green landscapes, and long-term value creation, they offer a compelling proposition for both end-users and investors alike.

What sets ACE Group apart is its commitment to creating developments that are in sync with the region’s infrastructure growth. In a relatively short span of 15 years, the Group has already delivered approximately 18 million sq. ft. of development, with an additional 32+ million sq. ft. currently under construction.

As the Yamuna Expressway corridor evolves into a dynamic urban destination, ACE Group continues to play a pivotal role in shaping its landscape. With a focus on quality, innovation, and integrated development, the company remains committed to delivering spaces that reflect the aspirations of a rapidly growing region and contribute to its long-term success.

SPJ True Realtyy, the real estate arm of the SPJ Group, is advancing with a structural steel-led construction approach for its upcoming commercial development, Vedatam, in Sector 14, Gurugram. Spread across a 4.15-acre land parcel, the project will feature approximately 1.2 million sq. ft. of built-up area. By placing structural steel at the core of its construction strategy, the company is aiming to significantly accelerate project timelines while ensuring higher precision in execution and greater design flexibility. 

SPJ True Realtyy partners with Jindal Steel & Power Ltd to implement a steel-led construction framework for its Gurugram commercial project, Vedatam

Structural steel construction is increasingly preferred in commercial developments for its high strength-to-weight ratio and superior load-bearing capacity. Its prefabricated components enable faster on-site assembly, significantly reducing construction timelines without compromising quality. While it may involve higher upfront costs than conventional methods, it delivers long-term value through enhanced durability, precision, and lifecycle performance, strengthening stakeholder confidence. Additionally, steel aligns with sustainability goals, making it well-suited for next-generation urban infrastructure.

To execute this vision, SPJ True Realtyy has awarded the structural steel contract to Jindal Steel & Power Limited (JSPL), a company known for its expertise in structural steel developments and engineering precision. The structural framework for the project is scheduled for completion within 17 months, commencing May 1, 2026.

Pankaj Jain, Founder and CMD, SPJ Group, said, “At SPJ Group, we are consciously moving towards construction methodologies that deliver both speed and structural robustness. For Vedatam, adopting a steel-led development approach allows us to significantly compress timelines while maintaining a high degree of precision and quality. Structural steel also enables better design adaptability and long-term durability, which are critical in today’s commercial real estate landscape. Our partnership with JSPL brings together material expertise and execution strength, helping us deliver a development that is both future-ready and fundamentally resilient.”

In a market like Gurugram, where speed-to-market, efficiency, and lifecycle performance are becoming key differentiators, this partnership reflects a broader evolution in how commercial assets are being designed and delivered.

The development is expected to emerge as a prominent commercial address in Sector 14, benefiting from strong connectivity and established urban infrastructure, while also setting a benchmark in construction efficiency through its steel-led framework.
