Rajkummar Rao as Sourav Ganguly in Biopic

<p>Sourav Ganguly confirms Rajkummar Rao as the lead in his biopic, delayed due to scheduling conflicts. The film will showcase Ganguly's cricket legacy.</p>

<p>In a recent interaction with the media, former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly revealed that acclaimed Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao is set to portray him in an upcoming biopic. Ganguly shared, "From what I've heard, Rajkummar Rao will play the titular role... but there are issues of dates... so it will take more than a year to hit the screens."</p>
<p>The film promises to delve into the illustrious career of Ganguly, who played 113 Tests and 311 ODIs for India, scoring an impressive 18,575 runs across all international formats.</p>
<p>Besides his on-field accomplishments, Ganguly, fondly known as the "Prince of Kolkata," took on significant off-field roles, serving as the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and later, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).</p>
<p>During his cricketing career, he led India to 21 Test victories and the final of the 2003 World Cup. Post-retirement in 2008, with over 18,000 international runs, Ganguly remained influential in cricket administration as a member of BCCI's technical committee and the Cricket Advisory Committee alongside legends Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman.</p>
<p>On the cinematic front, Rajkummar Rao will soon grace the screen in "Bhool Chuk Maaf," a film featuring Wamiqa Gabbi. Recently, the film's teaser was released; it begins with a seemingly typical wedding arrangement that turns intriguing as Haldi preparations mysteriously repeat, trapping Rao's character in a comedic time loop.</p>
<p>The teaser catches attention with the engaging backdrop of "Chor Bazaari" from the popular film "Love Aaj Kal" (2009).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Directed by Karan Sharma and produced under Maddock Films in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" joins Rao's busy slate. In addition, Rao's collaboration in "Maalik," produced by Kumar Taurani for Tips Films alongside Jay Shewakramani's Northern Lights Films, is also highly anticipated and is scheduled for theatrical release on June 20, 2025.</p>
<p>As fans eagerly await Rajkummar's portrayal of Ganguly, his diverse film choices continue to garner attention and admiration.</p>

<p>The Gauhati High Court Tuesday granted interim bail to Mr Chanchlani while hearing his anticipatory bail petition and asked him to be present before the investigating officer within 10 days.</p>
<p>The FIR was registered by the Guwahati Police on a complaint of an individual on February 10 under various sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhtia (BNS), Information Technology Act, Cinematograph Act and Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.</p>

Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava': Box Office Triumph

<p>'Chhaava', a historical epic starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, maintains strong box office growth with impressive earnings, captivating audiences and solidifying its status as a major success.</p>

<p>The historical epic 'Chhaava', starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, is making waves at the box office, showcasing remarkable growth as it progresses.</p>
<p>On its fifth day, Tuesday, the film garnered an impressive Rs 25.75 crore, pushing its total earnings to a formidable Rs 171.28 crore. This represents a 2% increase from its Day 4 collection of Rs 24 crore, highlighting its strong audience appeal.</p>
<p>The film had a phenomenal start, raking in Rs 31 crore on its opening day, with the momentum surging to Rs 39.30 crore on Day 2 and reaching a peak of Rs 48.5 crore on Day 3.</p>
<p>Even on its first Monday, traditionally a slower day for cinema collections, 'Chhaava' managed to secure Rs 24.10 crore, showcasing its sustained popularity.</p>
<p>Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner, 'Chhaava' brings to life the story of Maratha king Sambhaji, brought to the screen by Vicky Kaushal. Rashmika Mandanna stars as Maharani Yesubai, while Akshaye Khanna portrays Aurangzeb. The ensemble cast also features Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite and Divya Dutta as Soyarabai.</p>
<p>The narrative of the film is adapted from the cherished Marathi novel 'Chhava' by Shivaji Sawant. Enhancing this cinematic experience is a compelling music score by the legendary A. R. Rahman, with evocative lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil.</p>
<p>'Chhaava' continues to captivate audiences, solidifying its position as a major success at the box office.</p>

Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava' releases February 14 with a 130 crore budget focused on production quality. Cast salaries well balanced to support this strategy, featuring Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna.

Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava' Premieres Feb 14

<p>Vicky Kaushal stars in "Chhaava," releasing on February 14. With a 130 crore budget, it focuses on high-quality production. The cast's remunerations remain balanced, with Kaushal earning 10 crore, Rashmika 4 crore, and Akshaye Khanna 2 crore.</p>

<p>Vicky Kaushal's highly anticipated period drama "Chhaava" is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on February 14, and the film is generating considerable buzz, promising a strong box office debut.</p>
<p>The cast and crew of the film have made significant efforts to ensure that their remunerations align with the budget, enabling more resources to be dedicated to the film's production.</p>
<p>The film's budget stands at a reported 130 crore, with the lead cast's total salary comprising just 13-14% of this amount. Leading the cast, Vicky Kaushal portrays Sambhaji Maharaj, charging a fee of 10 crore&mdash;a sum that accounts for nearly 7% of the entire budget, mirroring his fee for "Sam Bahadur", as per DNA report.</p>
<p>Co-star Rashmika Mandanna, despite the success of her film "Animal," has kept her fee constant at 4 crore, the same amount she received for her previous project with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.</p>
<p>Akshaye Khanna, meanwhile, has opted for a pay cut compared to his role in "Drishyam 2." Despite receiving 2.5 crore for his last project, he has accepted a 2 crore remuneration for his antagonist role in "Chhaava." In contrast to his previous co-star Ajay Devgn's larger paycheck, Khanna's earnings are one-fifth of what Vicky Kaushal is making for this upcoming film.</p>
<p>Additionally, Ashutosh Rana has been cast as Hambirrao Mohite for 80 lakh, while Divya Dutta will portray Rajmata Soyarabai Bhosale for a fee of around 45 lakh.</p>
<p>Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, "Chhaava" appears committed to investing its resources primarily into the film&rsquo;s production, a strategy that could pay off at the box office.</p>

R Madhavan Discusses Finances & New Skills

<p>Actor R Madhavan opens up about his financial insecurities, achieving a captain's license, and balancing his lifestyle with his new film 'Hisaab Barabar.'</p>

<p>Actor R Madhavan recently discussed his financial habits in a conversation with Rannvijay Singha on an episode of Mashable's Dubai Journey series, coinciding with the release of his new film "Hisaab Barabar" on Zee5. During the candid chat, Madhavan admitted to feeling insecure about his finances.</p>
<p>He confessed, &ldquo;I am really insecure about my bank account. I really do not know how much I have, and how much I can afford to scrutinise it because I don't know what will come of it. I have a broad understanding of (how much I have).&rdquo;</p>
<p>The actor also shared a personal achievement during the conversation, revealing that he owns a small family boat and has earned a captain's license- a skill he developed during the COVID pandemic. &ldquo;I have a simple, small boat, which is enough for the family. But I always wanted to get a captain's license. I want to make every year significant by learning a new skill. During COVID, the new skill I learned was getting my captain's license and learning to navigate a boat. It's not that difficult,&rdquo; Madhavan explained.</p>
<p>Additionally, Madhavan acknowledged that his wife, Sarita, also believes he isn't very meticulous about financial matters. In an interview with Just Too Filmy, Madhavan remarked, &ldquo;I am not very careful about my spending but I always live within my means... if it does not fit my budget, I will not buy it.</p>
<p>I do not have worldly possessions, that is the reflection of my stardom. But I do have the liberty that this stardom offers me and I enjoy it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>"Hisaab Barabar," directed by Ashwni Dhir, premiered on OTT on January 24, 2025. The social drama centers on an honest ticket collector working for the Indian Railways who embarks on a mission to expose financial fraud orchestrated by a banker.</p>

Samay Raina's 'India’s Got Latent' hits controversy after Beer Biceps posed offensive questions, prompting official intervention, FIRs, and episode removal.

‘India’s Got Latent’ faces backlash as FIRs filed against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina & others

Samay Raina's 'India’s Got Latent' faces backlash after offensive questions from Beer Biceps, leading to intervention and multiple FIRs.

<p>Controversy erupted over Samay Raina's show due to inappropriate questions by Ranveer Allahbadia. The episode was removed after official intervention, and multiple FIRs were filed against prominent figures.</p>

<p>A major controversy has erupted over Samay Raina&rsquo;s show, &lsquo;India&rsquo;s Got Latent&rsquo;, after an episode featuring YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia sparked widespread outrage. The backlash began when Allahbadia, also known as 'Beer Biceps', asked a participant inappropriate and offensive questions about his parents, leading to calls for the show&rsquo;s ban.</p>
<p><strong>Escalation of the Controversy</strong><br>Following public outrage, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) intervened, resulting in the removal of the controversial episode from YouTube. Allahbadia later issued a video apology, admitting his mistake and acknowledging that &ldquo;comedy wasn&rsquo;t his strength.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The controversy has since intensified, with multiple FIRs filed against those involved in the show. On Tuesday, Mumbai police officers were seen outside Allahbadia&rsquo;s residence, while influencer Apoorva Mukhija appeared at Khar Police Station with her lawyer to record her statement. The FIRs also include prominent social media personalities Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Mukhija, and Samay Raina.</p>
<p><strong>Legal &amp; Political Ramifications</strong><br>The Maharashtra cyber department has alleged that Samay Raina deliberately uploaded the controversial episode to stir public outrage. The issue has even reached parliamentary discussions, with a panel set to review regulations on social media content. The matter was also raised in the Lok Sabha, highlighting growing concerns over online content moderation.</p>
<p><strong>What Lies Ahead?</strong><br>The controversy has reignited the debate over freedom of speech versus content responsibility. With authorities stepping in and legal action underway, this case could pave the way for stricter regulations on online platforms. The outcome of the FIRs and government scrutiny may significantly impact the future of digital content creation in India.</p>

<p>Reflecting on her school days, Deepika shared a lighthearted memory, saying, "Main bohot hi naughty bachchi thi. Main humesha sofas pe, tables pe, chair pe chad ke kudna&hellip; We also get stressed a lot. Like I was so weak in Maths and still am. Narendra Modi ji had also shared in his book to express, never suppress. So always express yourself whether it is with your friends, family, parents, teachers."</p>
<p>The full episode is set to be released on February 12 at 10 AM.</p>
<p>During his interaction with students, PM Modi encouraged them to see failures as learning experiences and emphasized the role of technology in education.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"A student's life does not stop if they fail an exam. One must decide whether they want to succeed in life or books... You should turn your failures into your teachers... You are fortunate to be born in an era of technology, and our focus should be to understand technology and utilize it optimally," he said.</p>
<p>He also highlighted the need for holistic development beyond textbooks. "...Students are not robots. We study for our holistic development... Students cannot grow if they are trapped in books... Students need to do their favourite activities; only then can they perform well in exams... One should not live with the mentality that exams are everything... One should gain as much knowledge as possible but not think that exams are everything... One should develop a habit of writing," the Prime Minister added.</p>

<p>Criticizing the discussions on the show, the singer questioned how such content could be categorized as comedy.</p>
<p>"Aap apne parents ki kaunsi stories bata rahe ho? Aap unki kaunsi baatein kar rahe ho? Kis tareeke se baatein kar rahe ho? Yeh comedy hai? This is not at all comedy! Yeh stand-up comedy toh bilkul bhi nahi hai. Logon ko gaaliyan dena, logon ko gaaliyan sikhana--yeh kaunsi generation hai? Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ki yeh generation kaunsi hai?"</p>
<p>B Praak also called out Ranveer Allahbadia, questioning how his actions contradicted his usual advocacy for "Sanatan Dharma and spirituality."</p>
<p>"Aur yeh Ranveer Allahbadia, aap Sanatan Dharma ko promote karte ho, spirituality ki baat karte ho. Aapke podcast pe itne bade-bade log aate hain, itne bade sant aate hain, aur fir bhi aapki soch itni ghatiya hai?" he added.</p>
<p>The controversy erupted after Ranveer Allahbadia made indecent and offensive comments on 'India's Got Latent,' which quickly went viral and sparked widespread outrage. His remark, "Would you rather watch your parents... or join in once and stop it forever?" was heavily criticized for being inappropriate and distasteful.</p>
<p>Following the backlash, Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging that his comments were "inappropriate" and admitting to a "lapse in judgment."</p>
<p>Meanwhile, YouTube has removed the controversial 'India's Got Latent' episode featuring Allahbadia&rsquo;s remarks. Additionally, the Guwahati Police have registered a case against him and four others for promoting obscenity.</p>

<p>Renowned Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has firmly refuted allegations that a Rs 18 crore loan was waived off by a bank in exchange for her extending favors to the BJP.</p>
<p>Taking to social media platform X, Zinta branded these claims as "vile gossip" and categorically stated that the loan in question was "fully paid back" a decade ago. She also criticized the Kerala Congress for disseminating what she described as "fake news."</p>
<p>The allegations originated from a post by the Kerala Congress, claiming that Zinta had surrendered her social media accounts to the BJP in return for having the substantial loan written off by the New India Co-operative Bank. The Congress post also highlighted ongoing depositor unrest due to recent withdrawal restrictions imposed on the bank by the RBI.</p>
<p>In a robust response, Zinta clarified that she independently manages her social media platforms. She expressed outrage at the spread of unfounded rumors and criticized the political party for propagating misinformation.</p>

Saira Banu Hospitalized Post-Separation

<p>Saira Banu, ex-wife of A.R. Rahman, hospitalized for surgery. Grateful for support from close friends and family. Amid recent separation announcement, requests privacy.</p>

<p>In an unexpected turn of events, Saira Banu, ex-wife of renowned music composer A.R. Rahman, was recently hospitalized due to a medical emergency requiring surgery.</p>
<p>Her legal representative, Vandana Shah, released an official statement on Instagram updating the public on her condition.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"On behalf of our client, Mrs. Saira Rahman, Vandana Shah and Associates issue the following statement regarding her current health condition," the statement begins. "A few days ago, Mrs. Saira Rahman was hospitalized due to a medical emergency and underwent surgery. During this challenging time, her sole focus is on a speedy recovery."</p>
<p>Saira extends her heartfelt gratitude for the support and concern she has received. She is thankful to close friends, including Resul Pookutty and his wife Shadia from Los Angeles, Vandana Shah, and A.R. Rahman himself, for their unwavering support. Saira also requests privacy and prays for her well-being to be respected during this period.</p>
<p>This health scare follows the couple's recent announcement of their separation after nearly 29 years of marriage. Through another statement issued by Vandana Shah, Saira and renowned musician A.R. Rahman cited "significant emotional strain" as their reason for parting ways.</p>
<p>"The hope was to reach the grand thirty," Rahman reflected in a heartfelt post on his X account, formerly known as Twitter. "But all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again."</p>
<p>A.R. Rahman and Saira Banu, who tied the knot in 1995, share three children: Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen. As both navigate this "fragile chapter," they express gratitude to their friends for their understanding and kindness.</p>
