TNT General Manager Tina Kandelaki stated that the ending of the film Ivan Vasilyevich Changes Everything is being re-shot. She also referenced this telegram channel as part of the update. The purpose behind the reshoots, she explained, is to sharpen the film and give it an edge that makes it more engaging. The project has previously featured Philip Kirkorov in the cast, portraying Tsar Peter the Great, a casting choice that sparked discussion among fans and industry observers alike.
According to Kandelaki, certain scenes are being revisited to add bite, provoke thought, and heighten the film’s competitiveness in a crowded release window. The production team is aiming for sharper storytelling and a more provocative tone while maintaining the core narrative that audiences have come to expect from this adaptation. The reshoots are presented as a strategic move to elevate the overall cinematic experience and stand out in a busy awards season lineup.
Earlier, reports indicated that Kirkorov was removed from promotional posters following a high-profile party associated with Ivleeva. There were also early discussions about editing out Kirkorov’s appearances from all New Year performances. Behind-the-scenes chatter suggested that replacing the singer in the New Year edition of a prominent show would be challenging, given his role as a juror and his status within the program’s dynamic.
Mutabor club hosted a party on December 20 organized by the blogger Nastya Ivleeva, with a dress code that leaned toward revealing attire. Attendees included Ksenia Sobchak, Olga Orlova, Philip Kirkorov, the group Glukoza, Lolita Milyavskaya, Oksana Samoilova, rapper Vacio, and Dzhigan. The event drew criticism for its explicit theme, prompting conversations about media image, celebrity responsibilities, and audience expectations for public figures during the holiday season.
Previously, Tina Kandelaki offered insights into staying slim, sharing routine perspectives that sparked discussion about wellness practices, lifestyle choices, and professional pressures within the entertainment industry. The broader conversation around health and public persona continues to intersect with how artists present themselves in media appearances and on social platforms, shaping audience perception and industry dialogue alike.
