Actress Krithi Shetty has completed the first shooting schedule of her upcoming film Hum Tere Pyaar Mein, marking an important step towards her Bollywood debut as a leading lady. The romantic drama, presented by filmmaker Rohit Shetty and AVS Studios in association with Tudip Entertainment, has wrapped up a 20-day outdoor schedule in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. The team is now preparing to move to Mumbai for the next phase of filming. The film went on floors on October 15, 2026, following a visit by the team to Tirupati Temple to seek blessings. The makers also shared the official clapperboard from the launch of the project. During the Shimla schedule, Rohit Shetty had offered a glimpse of the picturesque location on social media and extended his wishes to his longtime associate Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, who is making her feature directorial debut with the film. With the Himachal Pradesh leg now complete, Krithi Shetty and the primary cast and crew are expected to return to Mumbai. The upcoming schedule will focus on interior sequences and portions set in an urban environment, which will be filmed on sets. The production is expected to continue across subsequent schedules over the coming months as the makers work towards a theatrical release in 2027. Hum Tere Pyaar Mein has also attracted attention with its casting announcements. Veteran actress Bhagyashree and Tum Bin actor Priyanshu Chatterjee have joined the film in pivotal roles, adding to the ensemble led by Krithi. The project marks a significant transition for the actress, who established herself across South Indian cinema with films such as Uppena, Bangarraju and Custody. Her casting in the romantic entertainer will introduce her to a wider Hindi-speaking theatrical audience. The film also marks the directorial debut of Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, who has been associated with Rohit Shettys creative team for over 17 years. During this period, she has contributed to several of the filmmakers projects, including Golmaal 3, Singham, Chennai Express, Dilwale and Golmaal Again. Her experience of working on these productions precedes her first feature film as a director. Bankrolled by Abhishek S. Vyas and Dipti Agarwal, with Priyanka Chaudhary serving as co-producer, Hum Tere Pyaar Mein is being positioned as an old-school musical romance set against a contemporary backdrop. While details about the storyline remain under wraps, the films combination of romance and music forms the central premise of the project. For Krithi, the film represents her first major step into mainstream Hindi cinema, while its completion will mark a new chapter for Ghodgaonkar behind the camera. Following the Shimla schedule, the production will continue in Mumbai before moving through its remaining filming and post-production stages ahead of its planned nationwide theatrical release in 2027.

Indias auto sector industrial leasing hits 5.4 million sq ft as manufacturers scale up: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) India's automotive and ancillary sector leased around 5.4 million sq ft of industrial space between 2024 and the first half of 2026, accounting for nearly 13 per cent of the country's built-up industrial demand during the period, a report said on Wednesday. According to a CBRE report, domestic companies remained the biggest drivers of demand, contributing 57 per cent of industrial space absorption, while occupiers from the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 26 per cent and those from Europe, the Middle East and Africa contributed 15 per cent. City-wise, Pune emerged as the largest market for automotive industrial leasing with a 28 per cent share, followed by Delhi-NCR at 25 per cent and Chennai at 20 per cent. The report noted a growing preference among automotive companies for larger and more advanced manufacturing facilities. Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO, India, South-East Asia, Middle East and Africa, CBRE, said India's automotive manufacturing base is becoming more diversified, with domestic demand providing scale while stronger exports, EVs and advanced components broaden the sector. He added that as manufacturers plan larger, more technologically advanced facilities, competitiveness will depend on industrial land, reliable infrastructure and utilities, skilled talent, supplier networks and logistics connectivity. During the first half of 2026, leases for facilities measuring between 100,000 sq ft and 200,000 sq ft accounted for 46 per cent of total industrial space take-up, while facilities larger than 200,000 sq ft contributed another 38 per cent, according to the report. Together, large-format facilities represented 84 per cent of industrial leasing in the sector. Moreover, the report showed that vehicle production touched 35 million units in FY26, while automotive exports rose 14.7 per cent year-on-year to about $26 billion The sector currently contributes nearly half of India's manufacturing GDP, it added. CBRE said stronger domestic demand, rising exports, electric vehicle manufacturing and growing production of advanced components are broadening India's automotive manufacturing base and influencing location choices for new facilities. On the warehousing front, the automotive and ancillary segment leased about 12.4 million sq ft between 2021 and the first half of 2026. Chennai led warehouse leasing with a 29 per cent share, followed by Delhi-NCR at 22 per cent and Bengaluru at 14 per cent. Meanwhile, tyre manufacturers, passenger vehicle makers and component suppliers collectively accounted for more than two-thirds of warehouse demand during the period, according to the report.

BBL 16: Mustafizur Rahman Joins Melbourne Renegades For Maiden Stint
Big Bash League: Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is set to make his Big Bash League debut after signing with the Melbourne Renegades for the upcoming BBL 16 season, with the franchise bringing in the experienced left-armer to reinforce its pace attack following Jason Behrendorffs injury. Behrendorff, one of the most successful bowlers in the tournaments history and its fourth-highest wicket-taker, will miss the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The Renegades have turned to Mustafizur, widely known as The Fizz for his deceptive cutters and variations, to fill the void. The 31-year-old brings considerable experience to the Australian T20 competition, having represented Bangladesh in 271 international matches across formats. He has also established himself as a regular presence in franchise cricket, collecting 423 wickets in 331 T20 appearances at a strike rate of 16.9. Renegades head coach Luke Ronchi believes the Bangladesh internationals ability to deliver breakthroughs at different stages of an innings will add a valuable dimension to the bowling unit. Mustafizur is a proven match-winner in T20 cricket all over the world. His ability to take wickets in both the Powerplay and at the death is exactly what we wanted in our attack. BBL audiences love a player who can change a game in a single over and Mustafizur can do just that. Every ball has the potential to produce something special, and our fans are going to love watching him bring the theatre across the summer, Renegades head coach Luke Ronchi said in a statement. Mustafizurs recent performances against Australia further underline his credentials. During Bangladeshs ODI series against Australia in June, he claimed 3-27 in Mirpur to help the hosts secure an unassailable 2-0 advantage in the three-match contest. His franchise career includes nine Bangladesh Premier League campaigns and eight IPL seasons. He was also part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad that won the IPL title in 2016, his debut season in the competition. Expressing excitement about his first Big Bash assignment, Mustafizur said he was particularly looking forward to playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I am looking forward to playing in the BBL for the first time with the Melbourne Renegades. It will be special to play at the MCG as my home ground and Im excited to join my teammates and bring my experience to the squad, Mustafizur said in a statement. Mustafizur will not be available for the Renegades historic season opener against Perth Scorchers in Chennai because of his commitments with Dubai Capitals in the ILT20. However, he is expected to be available for the remainder of the tournament. He becomes only the third Bangladesh player to feature in the Big Bash, following Shakib Al Hasan and current Hobart Hurricanes recruit Rishad Hossain.

Madhumita: Address me as director, not lady director!
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 4 (IANS) Director Madhumita, who is now gearing up for the release of her upcoming psychological thriller, 'John Doe', featuring actor Arjun Das in the lead, has requested media persons and reviewers to address her as just director and not attach her gender in front of her designation. Participating in the trailer launch event of her upcoming psychological thriller, 'John Doe', the director, best known for her critically accalimed social drama 'KD Engira Karuppudurai', pointed out that when people referred to a film as having been made by a female director instead of just saying director, it led to a kind of branding happening even before the film got made. My desire is that I should do films in all genres and leave no genre unexplored. However, the common factor to all of them is the human emotion in them. Human emotion will be the USP of all my films, the director said. She then went on to make a request. I have a humble request. When you review a film, please do not say the film by a female director is good or bad. Please write if the film is good or bad alone. That is your prerogative, she said and went on to explain why she was making this request. When I say that it does not mean that I am not proud of my womanhood. But when you attach gender in front (of the designation), what happens sometimes is that branding happens even before we make our films. People assume that we will make only romantic or feel good movies. So that is my humble request, she said. The film has triggered huge expectations among fans and filmbuffs ever since the makers released a trailer recently. The trailer released begins with a young boy and his elder sister stepping out at night to buy some treats. The sister, who is preoccupied with some task, asks the boy to get himself one scoop of ice cream. Some time later, when she looks around, he is missing. She hurries home and informs her mother. The two begin frantically searching for the boy but are unable to find him. Viewers get to know that the family has just moved to India from Dubai. The cops are called in. Two cops, Arjun Das and Sanchana Natrajan, begin investigating this case. What starts off as a child missing case soon starts getting murkier. What happens then is what the film is all about. One of Tamil cinema's fastest rising stars, Arjun Das, will be seen playing playing the lead in the film. The makers have already announced that he plays a character called Chandru in the film. Actor Arjun Das, who shared his first look poster from the film on his social media timelines, wrote, 'Naan podhuma? (Am I enough?)' A question that haunts CHANDRU. A question weve all asked ourselves, perhaps. Somewhere in his search, I found a little of myself too. Meet CHANDRU from the world of #JohnDoe. Releasing this November in cinemas near you :) Written & Directed by @memadhumita. Produced by @arkamediaworks @devineni_prasad @Shobu_ Presented by @agscinemas. Sanchana Natarajan plays the female lead in this film, which will also feature Zaara Vineet Chandhoke and Nirav in pivotal roles. The film has triggered interest in fans and filmbuffs for a number of reasons. Firstly, Arjun Das will be seen playig a cop for the first time in his career. That apart, the film is being produced by Arka Mediaworks, the same production house that produced the pan Indian blockbuster 'Baahubali'. Producers Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni are producing this film under the banner of Arka Mediaworks. Kishore Kedari and Madhumita are the co-producers of the film, which has Sowmya Sharma serving as its Creative producer. The film boasts of a fine technical crew. The film has music by renowned music director Mujeeb Majeed. Additional music has been composed by The Artist 404. Story and screenplay for the film have been jointly written by director Madhumita and Nicholas Chevaillier. Cinematography for the film is by Preetha Jayaraman and editing for the film has been handled by Vijay Venkataramanan. Stunts in the film have been choreographed by Dinesh Subbarayan and Action Sandhosh. Priya Karan and Priya Harie have designed the costumes while Ashwini Kale has taken care of production design. The film is slated to hit screens on November 13 this year.

Stalin to visit Coimbatore today for Periyar library felicitation
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 4 (IANS) DMK president and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will visit Coimbatore on Wednesday to participate in a felicitation programme organised by the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) in recognition of his contribution to establishing the Rs 300-crore Periyar Arivulagam Library and Science Centre. The visit, his first to Coimbatore since the DMK's defeat in the 2026 Assembly elections, comes as the party attempts to rebuild its organisational strength following a major electoral setback that ended its tenure in government. The DMK suffered a significant reversal in the elections, losing power to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)-led alliance headed by actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay. Stalin himself suffered a major personal setback, losing the Kolathur Assembly constituency in Chennai, a seat he had represented since 2011. His defeat added to the political challenges confronting the DMK leadership following the election. During Wednesday's visit, Stalin will lay the foundation stone for a new integrated DMK district office on a 50-cent plot at Neelambur along Avinashi Road in Coimbatore. The foundation-stone ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. and is expected to be attended by senior party functionaries and district-level leaders. The Periyar Arivulagam Library and Science Centre, constructed on Nanjappa Road in Gandhipuram at an estimated cost of Rs 300 crore during the previous DMK administration, was recently inaugurated by Chief Minister Vijay. The Dravidar Kazhagam has organised the felicitation to acknowledge Stalin's role in developing the institution and naming it after social reformer E.V. Ramasamy, popularly known as Periyar. Stalin is scheduled to address the gathering at VOC Grounds in Coimbatore on Wednesday evening. Elaborate arrangements are underway at the venue, where a large stage and pavilion are being erected. DMK and Dravidar Kazhagam flags have been installed along major stretches of Avinashi Road. Thousands of DMK workers and supporters are expected to attend the programme, with party leaders planning a reception for Stalin. He is expected to arrive in Coimbatore from Chennai in the morning and return by air around 8.30 p.m. The visit is politically significant as the DMK seeks to consolidate its cadre base and regain momentum after losing the 2026 Assembly elections.
Bengaluru-Chennai roots, H-1B fight: Suhas Subramanyam wins second term in US Congress
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 4 (IANS) Suhas Subramanyam, the son of Tamil physicians whose mother is from Bengaluru and father grew up in Chennai and Secunderabad, was re-elected on Tuesday (local time) to represent Virginia's 10th Congressional District. The campaign is over, but the work is just beginning. I look forward to working with our community to deliver change in Washington, Subramanyam posted on X. My mom's from Bangalore. My dad's from Chennai and Secunderabad, and we have ties in India. I still have family in India, he said in an interview last year. His mother arrived at Dulles Airport in 1979, a story he has tied to the Northern Virginia district he represents. Dulles Airport here, and our district was their Ellis Island, he told CNBC-TV18. Born in Houston, Texas, in 1986, Subramanyam studied philosophy at Tulane University and earned a law degree from Northwestern University. He worked as an aide to Representative Suzanne Kosmas, clerked for Senator Dick Durbin on the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he worked on the DREAM Act, and served as a White House technology policy adviser under President Barack Obama from 2015. He has also worked as a lawyer, run a small technology business and volunteered as an emergency medical technician and firefighter, according to his campaign. In 2019, he became the first Indian American, first South Asian and first Hindu elected to the Virginia General Assembly. He served in the House of Delegates from 2020 to 2024 and briefly in the Virginia Senate before winning the US House seat vacated by Jennifer Wexton in 2024. In Congress, Subramanyam sits on the Oversight Committee, where he is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs and also serves on the cybersecurity and information technology panel, as well as on the Science, Space and Technology Committee and the Ethics Committee, according to his House website. He has been a leading voice on issues watched closely by Indian Americans. He backs the Domestic Visa Renewal Modernization Act, part of a three-bill package that would let holders of H-1B, L, O and other visas renew them inside the United States. When the Trump administration imposed a $100,000 fee on new H-1B petitions, he said: This isn't immigration policy. This is economic sabotage. He co-signed an October 2025 letter to President Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warning about the H-1B proclamation. He has also criticised Trump's tariffs on India. Tariffs are a tax on the American people, he told the Hindustan Times, adding, I think Trump has handled the relationship with India poorly and India is a natural ally. I think the majority of Indian Americans still are Democrats, he said, warning that putting tariffs on India will not help his standing with Indian Americans. Subramanyam has also introduced the Responsible Data Center Siting Act. Congress must set reasonable guardrails around data centers, he wrote on X. He closed his campaign with a rally alongside Virginia Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner. Subramanyam and his wife, Miranda Pena Subramanyam, live with their two daughters in Loudoun County.
TN: Heavy rain forecast for Theni, Coimbatore
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 4 (IANS) The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rainfall in Theni and Coimbatore districts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, as the severe cyclonic storm 'Murasu' weakened after crossing the southern Andhra Pradesh coast near Ongole. According to the weather department, the severe cyclonic storm, which was positioned over the west-central Bay of Bengal on November 2, moved north-northwestwards before making landfall between Nellore and Narsapur, close to Ongole, between 3.30 a.m. and 5.30 a.m. on November 3. Following landfall, the system continued moving north-northwestwards and gradually lost intensity. It weakened into a cyclonic storm and subsequently into a deep depression as it moved further inland. Although the cyclone has weakened considerably, its associated atmospheric conditions are expected to influence rainfall activity across several parts of Tamil Nadu over the next two days. The IMD has predicted heavy rainfall at isolated places in Theni and Coimbatore districts on Wednesday, while several other parts of the state are likely to receive light to moderate showers. In Chennai, the sky is expected to remain partly cloudy, with moderate rainfall likely in certain parts of the city. The weather department has indicated that rainfall activity may vary across different localities depending on prevailing atmospheric conditions. For Thursday, the IMD has forecast heavy rainfall in Madurai, Theni and Dindigul districts. Other parts of Tamil Nadu are expected to experience moderate rainfall. The latest forecast indicates that rainfall activity will remain concentrated in parts of western and southern Tamil Nadu, particularly districts adjoining the Western Ghats, where local weather conditions could contribute to heavier showers. The weakening of Murasu marks a significant change in the weather system that had earlier posed a threat to the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. However, meteorological officials have cautioned that the dissipation of a cyclonic storm does not necessarily mean an immediate end to rainfall associated with the system. Residents in areas forecast to receive heavy rainfall have been advised to remain alert to subsequent weather bulletins, particularly in vulnerable low-lying locations. The IMD is expected to continue monitoring atmospheric conditions and issuing district-specific rainfall forecasts as the system weakens further over land.

China's New Chokepoint Meets India's Defiance; Beijing's Tunnel Boring Machine Gamble Backfires
India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has sent China a blunt message: India will not beg for tunnel-boring machines. If Beijing restricts exports, India will build the machines at home. China controls an estimated 70 percent of the global TBM market and has announced export controls on tunnel-boring machines and related equipment. The move could affect metro systems, railway tunnels, highways and infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control. But India is preparing its response. BEML is developing indigenous TBMs, Larsen & Toubro is working on a prototype and German firm Herrenknecht has an assembly facility in Chennai. India is also considering a $1.2-billion incentive package for construction equipment manufacturing. China may have tried to create a new choke point. Instead, it may have accelerated Indias industrial self-reliance. Shreya Chandra with more

IPL 2027: Punjab Kings Hold The Edge In Race To Seal Hardik Pandya Trade Deal
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings (PBKS) have edged ahead of others in the race to secure the services of Hardik Pandya via a trade deal with Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of the November 17 retention deadline for the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. IANS understands that apart from PBKS, who have been very aggressive in vying for Pandya, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have also been in the running to acquire the premier seam-bowling all-rounder. Yes, this is true that as of now, Punjab Kings have their noses ahead to get Pandya. If all falls in place, as per the verbal discussions between the top management of the two teams, the formal paperwork to complete Pandyas trade can start soon and then the approval from the IPL officials will be sought, a source tracking the development told IANS on Tuesday. Under the proposed swap, IANS understands that if Pandya goes to PBKS, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh and wicketkeeper-batter Vishnu Vinod are likely to head to MI. Arshdeep is currently in New Zealand, where he is part of Indias fast-bowling attack in the five-match ODI series that starts in Auckland on Wednesday. Vinod, meanwhile, was part of the MI set-up in IPL 2023 and played four games for them. PBKSs rivals in the race to get Pandyas services have appeared to fall behind. KKR, who need a new captain following Ajinkya Rahanes retirement, did reach an advanced stage in talks with MI over Pandyas trade. But three-time winners KKR were not willing to part with their core players, and the talks did not result in a deal. RR, the inaugural edition winners, have also been keen to get Pandya by offering to send Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravi Bishnoi to MI in exchange, but there has not been much progress. LSGs attempts to get Pandya did not make much headway. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were also said to have shown early interest, but it did not develop further. If the MI-PBKS trade goes through, the Shreyas Iyer-led side will gain an all-rounder in Pandya who is capable of winning games with both bat and ball. MI, on their part, would get a marquee Indian left-arm fast bowler who can bowl in all phases, as well as add another Indian wicketkeeping option. If somehow the MI-PBKS trade talks dont materialise, Pandya will not mind playing another year at MI, possibly under Rohit Sharmas captaincy, before the mega auction happens next year, another source tracking the deal told IANS. It is also understood that if the Pandya deal is done, PBKS are looking to add left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan in exchange for Australias seam-bowling all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, whose role could shrink with his addition to the set-up. Pandya, a member of India winning 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cups, led Gujarat Titans (GT) to the IPL title in 2022 during a successful two-season stint before returning to MI in an all-cash trade ahead of IPL 2024. His three seasons as MI captain brought little success. MI, the five-time champions, finished fourth in 2025, but were at the bottom of the points table in 2024 and ended at ninth spot in 2026. It is also understood that if the Pandya deal is done, PBKS are looking to add left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan in exchange for Australias seam-bowling all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, whose role could shrink with his addition to the set-up.
