Drones, Spies & World War Fears?! | Dr. Sanket Kulkarni | Defence Analyst

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode, Cyrus Broacha hangs out with actor, producer, and pro Panja evangelist Parvin Dabbas… and what starts as a normal conversation quickly turns into a deep dive into Bollywood chaos, sports leagues, and the strange art of surviving the entertainment industry.

They jump from Parvin’s acting journey and behind-the-scenes Bollywood stories to building the Pro Panja League, the business of sports in India, and why panja might just be cooler than cricket (controversial, we know). Along the way, expect detours into fitness, discipline, industry struggles, and the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from doing everything yourself.

It’s insightful, funny, slightly chaotic, and occasionally feels like a TED Talk that forgot to stay serious.

This episode covers:


Parvin Dabbas’ Bollywood journey & acting career


The rise of Pro Panja League & Indian sports business


Behind-the-scenes film industry stories


Fitness, discipline & mental toughness


Entrepreneurship in entertainment & sports


Random Cyrus-level chaos you didn’t see coming

If you’re looking for structured interviews and safe answers, this is not it.
If you enjoy honest conversations, industry insights, and a little madness along the way, welcome home.

And to our regular listeners… welcome back home!

Bollywood, Pro Panja League & Pure Chaos ft. Parvin Dabbas | Cyrus Says

What happens when Cyrus Broacha sits down with Shamik Chakrabarti? 
Zero structure. Maximum chaos.

In this episode of Cock & Bull, things spiral (fast) from stand-up comedy to Bollywood propaganda, box office logic, internet algorithms, and everything in between. One minute it’s comedy insights, the next it’s cricket, politics, or a completely random tangent that somehow still makes sense.

Expect:


Brutally honest takes on Bollywood & pop culture


The reality of stand-up comedy & writing


Social media, algorithms & why we’re all slightly doomed 


Generational quirks like the infamous “millennial pause”


And classic Cyrus-style chaos that refuses to stay on topic

Also featuring Shamik’s stand-up special “Despite Appearances” a story-driven set told across 7 chapters, blending personal stories with sharp observational humour.

If you like conversations that feel like a funny group chat come to life, you’re in the right place.’s for you.

Bollywood, Propaganda & Box Office Madness | Shamik Chakrabarti | Cock and Bull

In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus is joined by producer, writer and showrunner Adi Shankar for a conversation that goes from Kolkata to Hollywood, anime, identity, accents, and the future of animation.

Adi talks about growing up across countries, how constantly moving shaped the way he sees people and storytelling, and how he went from a credit card job to building a career in film and animation. He also gets into why anime for adults felt like a missing space in the West, how he spotted that gap early, and what it took to help push that format forward.

The conversation also dives into Devil May Cry, adapting video game worlds into their own screen universes, and how he thinks about storytelling in a time when everyone’s attention span is fighting for survival.

It’s funny, chaotic and full of unexpected detours, which is exactly how Cyrus Says works.

And to our regular listeners, welcome back home!
