MUMBAI: Terming mainstream media as vultures, comedian Kunal Kamra on Thursday claimed it was a miscommunication arm of the ruling party. Kamra, whose remarks targeting Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in his stand-up special show Naya Bharat, have kicked up a huge controversy, took to X to vent his ire on mainstream media. To all those hounding for a quote, the mainstream media at this point is nothing but a miscommunication arm of the ruling party, Kamra, 36, claimed. They are vultures who report on issues that dont matter to the people of this country. If they all shut shop from tomorrow till eternity they will be doing favour to the country, its people & their own children, he added. The comedian did not cite any specific reason or instance for his outburst against the mainstream media. Stop being a stooge: Kunal Kamra slams T-Series for copyright notice on controversial video; netizens call out label Meanwhile, Maharashtra tourism minister and Shiv Sena leader Shambhuraj Desai on Thursday said the police should arrest the comedian at the earliest and not test the patience of party workers. We have been asked by Shinde to be observe restraint, that is why we are quiet. As Shiv Sena workers, we know how to drag him out from wherever he is hiding, but as ministers we have some restrictions, Desai told reporters. We want to tell the police, do not test our patience and nab him from wherever he is, put him in a tyre and give him 'prasad', the Sena leader added. In Marathi, the word `prasad' means an offering made to God, but it is also used as a euphemism for punishment. Kamra on Wednesday dropped a new video from the comedy special, in which he performed a parody of Hawa Hawai from Mr India to criticise Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and her policies. Kamra shared a screenshot from YouTube on X, which showed Naya Bharat, his new video, has been blocked due to copyright restrictions and therefore is not visible to viewers. Due to copyright claims, the video will not be able to generate revenue as well. Naya Bharat, which also made jokes about recent political developments in Maharashtra, including the Shiv Sena and NCP splits, has amassed over 8.2 million views on YouTube in five days. On Sunday night, Shiv Sena members damaged the Habitat Comedy Club in Khar, where Kamra's show took place, as well as a hotel in whose premises the club is located. Kamra has said he will not apologise for his comments made in the video. Mumbai police on Wednesday sent a second summon to Kamra in connection with a case filed in Mumbai for his derogatory remarks against Shinde. The notice mentions that Kamra needs to appear before the investigating officer of the case filed at the Khar police station by Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel. The first summon to Kamra was issued on Tuesday, asking him to appear before the police.

KIPG 2025: Rishit Nathwani, The Giant-killer Who Refused To Be Defined By Disability
Khelo India Para Games: In a testament to human determination, 21-year-old Rishit Nathwani has transformed a life-altering sports injury into a remarkable journey of triumph. His recent gold medal victory in the men's table tennis Class 5 event at the Khelo India Para Games 2025 is not just a personal achievement but a beacon of hope for aspiring para-athletes across India. Nathwani's life took an unexpected turn in 2017 during a casual kabaddi match. What began as a routine game resulted in a devastating sports injury that left him paralysed from the neck down. I got hurt in my back, Rishit recalls while speaking to SAI Media. There was internal bleeding, which caused my nerves to break, and the spine moved a little. This caused paralysis from the neck down. The prognosis was grim. Doctors were pessimistic about his recovery, suggesting he might never leave his bed. But Rishit and his family refused to accept this fate. Spending two months in rigorous rehabilitation at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, Rishit Nathwani gradually regained movement in his upper body. His initial goal was to return to professional cricket, but as physiotherapy progressed, he realized his path would be different. After my injury, my first goal was to recover fully and get back to professional cricket, he explained. I did two years of physiotherapy and recovered a lot, but my legs have not recovered. Para table tennis entered Rishit's life almost by chance. During a road trip with his mother, they encountered his first coach, Ashok Pal, who was teaching para table tennis in a small shop. Encouraged by Pal's belief in his potential, Rishit began training. He told me that I could win the nationals if I played! recalled Rishit. In 2021, at just 19, he won a silver medal in his first national tournament, setting the stage for future success. It was against veteran Raj Aravindan, to whom he lost his first-ever final, and it was the same opponent whom he defeated in the semi-finals to reach the ultimate match in his category. Moreover, during his run to the Khelo India Para Games 2025 gold medal, Rishit also beat Abhishek Kumar, whom he lost to in the group stages. Having beaten two veterans on the way to the top of the podium, Rishit said, Everyone was congratulating me because I had beaten two top TT players on the way to the gold. Everyone was very proud. Rishit's ambitions extend beyond national competitions. His immediate goals include improving his world ranking and qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics. He understands that the journey requires dedication and is planning to participate in at least six international tournaments annually to maintain and improve his ranking. Behind Rishit's success is unwavering family support, especially from his mother, Vidhi Nathwani. When Rishit got injured, the doctors told us that he should think about leaving sports, saying he wouldn't even get out of bed, she recalls. Now, seeing her son compete at a national level, she is overwhelmed with pride. Rishit and his mother are also advocates for para-sports awareness. They believe platforms like the Khelo India Para Games are crucial in highlighting the capabilities of para-athletes and inspiring others with disabilities. Many para people don't know about the sports they can play, Rishit explains. When they watch these games on TV, they'll realise they can also participate and excel. Rishit's journey is more than a personal success story. It's a powerful narrative of transformation, resilience, and the human spirit's incredible capacity to overcome adversity. His message is clear: disability is not inability, and with determination, support, and opportunity, one can redefine their limits. Rishit and his mother are also advocates for para-sports awareness. They believe platforms like the Khelo India Para Games are crucial in highlighting the capabilities of para-athletes and inspiring others with disabilities.

IPL 2025: Whenever Kohli Is In The Opposition, It Is Always A Clash To Look Forward To, Says Gaikwad
Chennai Super Kings: Ahead of five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2025, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad said the upcoming clash is something he always awaits to play, citing the presence of talismanic batter Virat Kohli. In 33 matches between the two teams, CSK have won 21 times while RCB emerged victorious on 11 occasions. What also stacks up the odds against RCB are that they have beaten CSK only once at the MA Chidambaram Stadium that too in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2008. They have done really well every year now. And whenever Virat Kohli is in the opposition, whenever he is playing, it is always a clash to look forward to. Hes been doing it for a really long time now, consistently for RCB and for the country as well. So, it is always a great match, and after Mumbai Indians, this is the second match we always look forward to, said Gaikwad to JioStar on Thursday. CSK come on the back of beating fellow five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) by four wickets at Chepauk, where Gaikwad made a stroke-filled 53 off 26 balls as a number three batter. RCB arrive in Fridays clash after outclassing defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by seven wickets at the Eden Gardens, where Kohli made an unbeaten 59 off 36 balls. Gaikwad also revealed that he had congratulated Rajat Patidar after the right-handed batter was named as the new RCB captain ahead of IPL 2025.

Star Cast: Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran Director: Prithviraj Sukumaran L2 Empuraan Movie Review Synopsis: L2 EMPURAAN is the story of a mysterious man. Five years have passed since the events of the first part. A check dam is being built in Kerala on an existing dam. This project threatens to displace thousands of villagers and hence, there is a lot of resistance to it. The chief minister of the state Jathin Ramdas (Tovino Thomas), however, seems to support it. He has also become autocratic and in no way close to the way his late father, P K Ramdas aka PKR (Sachin Khedekar) used to function, which causes uproar in the party, IUF. Jathin holds a special meeting and keeps the agenda hidden. At the meeting, he informs that he is leaving IUF as he's unhappy with the party members and their activities. He decides to float his own party called the IUF-PKR. Moreover, he joins hands with a communal leader, Baba Bajrangi (Abhimanyu Singh). The decision shocks the people and political class of Kerala as they fear that itll prove detrimental to the ideals of the state. Govardhan (Indrajith Sukumaran), the journalist-cum-activist, appeals to Stephen Nedumpally (Mohanlal) to return and save God's Own Country. Stephen disappeared from Kerala 5 years ago and his present-day whereabouts are uncertain. The mention of Stephen scares Jathin and he instructs CIB officer Karthik (Kishore) to ensure that Stephen wont meddle in the affairs of the state. Sadly for Jathin, Stephen decides to return to save his homeland. Hes once again joined by Zayed Masood (Prithviraj Sukumaran), who has a personal vendetta against Baba Bajrangi aka Balraj. What happens next forms the rest of the film. L2 Empuraan Movie Story Review: Murali Gopy's story has a lot of elements compared to the first part, LUCIFER [2019]. Murali Gopy's screenplay is gripping. The best part of the writing is that there are a lot of subplots but he puts all of them together very nicely. Murali Gopy's dialogues and their Hindi translation are likeable. Prithviraj Sukumaran's direction is cinematic. LUCIFER was also a grand film but L2 EMPURAAN goes many notches higher in this regard. It is not easy to have a film that talks not just about the politics of a state but also about the chaos in the world of spies. Prithviraj blends both of them neatly and hence, it doesnt give an impression that either of the tracks is forced into the narrative. Moreover, it's also a brave film as it talks about communal politics and its dangers. The film begins on a shocking note and it nicely serves as a base. The back-and-forth narrative is also done stylishly and yet, it's easy to understand what is going on. A few scenes that stand out in the first half are Jathin leaving IUF, Stephens entry and the interval point. Post-interval, the scene of Priyadarshini Ramdas (Manju Warrier) at the public meeting is memorable. But the scene thereafter is even more entertaining and would be greeted with whistles and claps. The climax is also quite massy. L2 Empuraan Trailer (Hindi) | Mohanlal | Prithviraj Sukumaran | Gokulam Gopalan | Antony Perumbavoor On the flipside, it is compulsory to watch LUCIFER before watching L2 EMPURAAN. But it's difficult to say how many people have seen the first part in the Hindi-speaking belt. As a result, they might not be able to fully get involved in the proceedings as they will not be able to comprehend the goings-on in the absence of the back story. Secondly, this is a rare film where the main heros entry happens at the 61st minute, that is, almost after an hour! It might make people restless, especially his fans. The run time of 179 minutes is also a bit of a downer, especially during the extended climax. Lastly, the lack of buzz and release period can affect the prospects of the Hindi version. L2 Empuraan Movie Review Performances: Mohanlal makes up for the late entry with his subtle yet impactful performance. The way he communicates with his eyes is seen to be believed. Prithviraj Sukumaran has less screen time, just like last time, but yet again, he rocks the show. This time, viewers get to know more about his character and it adds to his performance. Special mention should also go to Karthikeya Dev, who plays the young Zayed. Tovino Thomas and Manju Warrier leave a huge mark. Abhimanyu Singh is terrific as the villain. Sukant Goel (Munna) also makes his presence felt. Sachin Khedekar is decent in a cameo. Indrajith Sukumaran, Andrea Tivadar (Michele Menuhin), Jerome Flynn (Boris Oliver), Eriq Ebouaney (Kabuga), Nikhat Khan (Subhadra), Fazil (Father Nedumpally), Saikumar (Mahesha Varma), Baiju Santhosh (Murukan), Alexx O'Nell (Robert McCarthy) and Mikhail Novikov (Sergei Leonov) do well. Saniya Iyappan (Jhanvi), Nyla Usha (Arundathi) and Giju John (Sanjeev Kumar) are wasted. L2 Empuraan movie music and other technical aspects: Deepak Dev's music has no scope. 'Phir Zinda', however, is well-utilized. Deepak Dev's background score is powerful and elevates impact in several scenes. Sujith Vaassudev's cinematography adds considerably to the scale of the film. Stunt Silva's action is disturbing but also mass-appealing. The scene in the jungle especially will be loved by the audience. YFX Studios, Labyrinth Studios- Mumbai, Binary Circus, Paperplane, Ident and DTM's VFX matches global standards. Prithviraj Productions' production design is of superior quality. The same goes for Sujith Sudhakaran's costumes. Akhilesh Mohan's editing is slick but also dragging in some places. L2 Empuraan Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, L2 EMPURAAN has its share of mass-appealing scenes, grandeur, powerful subject and impressive performances by Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran. However, its business in Hindi might be affected due to the SIKANDAR wave and limited buzz. Itll need positive word of mouth in the Hindi-speaking markets to spring a surprise at the box office.

IPL 2025: If I'm Not Wicketkeeping, I'm Useless On The Field, Says Dhoni
The MS Dhoni Experience: Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni said that he would feel useless on the field if he is not doing the behind-the-stumps duty, as he reads the game well while doing wicketkeeping. The 43-year-old continues to don the wicketkeeping gloves for the CSK as the franchise has shown immense faith in the veteran. Dhoni has been associated with CSK since the inception of the IPL, barring two seasons when the team was banned from the tournament, and led the side to five titles and 10 finals. If I'm not wicketkeeping, I think I'm useless on the field because that's where I read the game in the best possible manner. It's a challenge, and that's what makes it interesting. Last few years, I don't know whether it is 2 or 5 years, my franchise will be like you play till you want to play. Even if I'm on the chair, they will be like, don't worry you play. I want to enjoy cricket, so one year at a time, Dhoni said in a video posted by Star Sports on X. Dhoni stepped down from the CSK captaincy role last season, with Ruturaj Gaikwad taking the reins. In the IPL 2025 season, CSK started their campaign with a comfortable win over Mumbai Indians at Chepauk on Sunday. Despite not being the captain of the side, Dhoni is actively seen adjusting the field and guiding Gaikwad on the ground. After the match against Mumbai, Dhoni lauded Gaikwad's leadership skills and said the youngster takes most of the decisions on the field. After IPL last year, I almost immediately told him, 90% you will lead next season, so start preparing yourself mentally. Before the start of the tournament, I also told him, If I give you advice, it doesnt mean you have to follow it. I will try to stay away as much as possible', Dhoni said on JioHotstar show The MS Dhoni Experience. During the season, a lot of people speculated that I was making the decisions in the background. But the fact is, he was making 99 per cent of the decisions. The most important calls - bowling changes, field placements - were all his. I was just helping him out. He did a brilliant job of handling the players, he added. Dhoni has so far played 265 games and scored 5,243 runs with 24 half-centuries to his name.

IPL 2025: Its Going To Be A Huge Challenge For RCB, Feels Watson Ahead Of CSK Clash
Chennai Super Kings: Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson feels that facing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk will be a huge challenge for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The Rajat Patidar-led side will face five-time champions on Friday at MA Chidambaram Stadium in their second game of the IPL 2025 season. RCB had a brilliant start as they registered an emphatic seven-wicket win over reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the season opener at Eden Gardens. On the other hand, CSK outclassed the Mumbai Indians by four wickets in their first match of the season. For Chennai, spin trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Noor Ahmad proved crucial in restricting MI to 155 as the latter clinched a four-wicket haul on a spin-assisted Chepauk surface. Its going to be a huge challenge for RCB to go to Chepauk, especially given the quality of bowlers CSK have at their disposal. Just look at the three spinners who bowled brilliantly in their opening game against MIAshwin, Jadeja, and Noor Ahmad. They are going to be a real handful on that surface. Seeing Noor Ahmad make such an impact in his first game for CSK will only boost the teams confidence, knowing they have another wicket-taking option, Watson said on JioHotstar. The former CSK player feels that RCB will need to tweak their combination to overpower CSK's spin dominance at their home venue. RCB will likely need to adjust their team composition to counter CSKs strengths. But make no mistake - Chepauk is a fortress. CSKs entire setup is built around excelling in Chennai, and it will be very difficult for RCB to break through. Someone from their side will need to produce something truly special to pull off a win, Watson said. The former CSK player feels that RCB will need to tweak their combination to overpower CSK's spin dominance at their home venue. Also Read: Highest tax paying cricketers Article Source: IANS

Election heat rises for Ramakuppam Mandal Parishad President post
TIRUPATI: The Andhra Pradesh State Election Commission has directed officials to conduct elections for four Mandal Parishad President (MPP) vacancies and co-option members in six mandals of the erstwhile Chittoor district on Thursday. Political tensions are particularly high in Ramakuppam mandal, part of CM Chandrababu Naidus Kuppam constituency. Determined to secure the MPP post, TDP leaders are strategising to ensure victory, even if by a slim margin. In Ramakuppam, TDP holds seven MPTC seats, while YSRCP has eight, with one position currently vacant. With numbers favoring YSRCP, TDP is reportedly attempting to postpone the election until the vacant seat is filled. This delay could improve TDPs chances of regaining control by ensuring a stronger voting advantage. Local TDP leaders are adopting a wait-and-see strategy, while YSRCP has kept its MPP candidates identity secret until Wednesday evening to prevent potential defections or influence tactics. Given the high stakes in Ramakuppam, TDP is determined to claim victory to maintain its influence in Naidus home turf, while YSRCP is aggressively working to secure the seat. In Thavanampalle, YSRCPs Patnam Prathap Reddy is poised for an easy win with his party holding 12 out of 14 MPTC seats. In Sodum, under the leadership of MLA Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy, YSRCP is expected to secure the MPP post. In Tirupati Rural, YSRCP leaders moved their MPTCs to a camp in Mumbai to prevent possible poaching, with the party seeking High Court protection to ensure their members safe participation. The yellow party decided not to contest for Vice-MPP in Vijayapuram mandal of Nagari Assembly constituency as the YSRCP holds a clear majority.
