Delays & Rising Costs: Indias Bullet Train Project Hits Turbulence With Partner Japan
Indias first bullet train was supposed to showcase a new era of India-Japan cooperation, but more than a decade after the two countries signed the agreement, not a single passenger has travelled on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route. Now, the project is facing a different problem: friction over how the railway should actually be built and operated. Japan was expected to provide Shinkansen trains, signalling and the Operation Control Centre, but India is developing its own B28 high-speed train for the initial phase and has moved towards an international, open-standard signalling system. Japan has raised concerns about whether this hybrid system can deliver the safety and reliability associated with Shinkansen, while India wants greater flexibility and domestic capability. So this is no longer just a story about delays it is a test of how India and Japan reconcile two very different visions of high-speed rail.
Pandya Store actress Simran Budharup recently shared details of an alleged physical assault she faced in Mumbai. The actor claimed that a man confronted and assaulted her while she had stepped out to collect a parcel of pani puri. Simran shared a video of the incident on Instagram, showing a confrontation with a man who allegedly snatched her phone and threw it. In her post, she also urged women not to be intimidated by people who behave aggressively towards them. According to Simran's account, she had parked her vehicle near a gate while she went to collect her pani puri order. She said the security guard told her that she could not park the car there. Simran explained that she was only waiting in front of the gate and would move the vehicle if someone needed to enter or exit. The actor alleged that the watchman then spoke to her in a disrespectful manner. She said she raised her voice and told him not to speak to her rudely. It was during this exchange that another man allegedly approached her. Simran claimed that the man became aggressive and physically assaulted her. The video she posted appears to capture parts of the confrontation, including the alleged moment when her phone was taken and thrown. In the caption accompanying the video, Simran also alleged that the police did not accept her complaint because her phone was still intact despite the incident. She expressed concern over the response she received and used the incident to encourage women to stand up for themselves when faced with aggressive behaviour. The video has since gained attention on social media, with several users reacting to Simran's account of the incident. The actor has previously appeared in television shows including Pandya Store and Nazar.

Highveld Conditions And Backup To Jansen Drove Our Fast-bowling Buys, Says SEC Head Coach Birrell
Sunrisers Eastern Cape: Excelling in highveld conditions and securing quality backup for star all-rounder Marco Jansen were the primary drivers behind Sunrisers Eastern Capes fast-bowling buys at the SA20 season five auction, said head coach Adrian Birrell. In the auction, three-time champions and current trophy holders Sunrisers Eastern Cape bolstered their seam bowling by acquiring powerplay specialist Craig Overton and left-arm quick Nandre Burger. While Burger will make his debut for the franchise, Overton previously featured in six matches for SEC in previous editions of SA20. The duo joins an already lethal fast-bowling arsenal featuring Jansen, Adam Milne, Anrich Nortje, and Lutho Sipamla. We were always looking to bolster our bowling line-up to have backup for what we have. The success we've had every time, we've had three out of the top five fast bowlers from our team. So I really like those fast bowlers. I want them to bowl fast and swing it up front. We know we've had Craig Overton before, and he's very good in the highveld. He's also done very well in this last year for Somerset. They were always in contention to win the Blast in England, and we've got the captain, Lewis Gregory, in our squad as well as now Craig Overton. So I like sort of looking at winning teams and taking their best players. But Craig also gives us that batter who can bat at seven or eight. As that all-rounder, he's also backup for Jansen, who's played every single game for us. Marco has never got injured, and you hope that he never does get injured, but you always have to have backup in case. So we've got him. Then Nandre Berger is coming back from injury. He should be fit for the SA20, but he gives us another left-arm option. When he's fit, he bowls quick. So we wanted him as an option and also to get him on our books, Birrell told IANS in an interaction facilitated by the SA20 post-season five auction. The story of the auction, though, belonged to Joburg Super Kings as they went through a fierce bidding battle against MI Cape Town to secure 18-year-old all-rounder Jason Rowles for a staggering R 2.9 million, the highest buy of the day. Rowles was the leading run-getter for South Africa in this years Under-19 World Cup, amassing 280 runs in five innings at an excellent average of 70 and a strike rate of 112. JSK head coach Albie Morkel revealed that despite a higher-than-expected price tag, Rowles had been a long-term desire of the franchise's scouting network. Auctions are very funny things. Obviously, Robbie (Robin Peterson of MI Cape Town) and his crew saw the same talent that we saw in Jason. He is a local boy from Joburg that we've tracked for a long time. We had a talent scout camp a year ago, which he attended. So he was someone on our radar. Did I think he was going to go for that amount of money? No, definitely not. But he's someone that we really wanted. I think that initially the rookie and now the under-23 spot, every franchise is looking for that guy who's going to be the next Lhuan-dre or the next Brevis. Whether he will be that, time will tell. But he's a really talented guy. If you just follow his under-19 performances, the last year, they were great. Then he's got a very good management team around him. So I'm sure as a cricketer, with this money tag around his head now or over his head, they will manage it well. From our side, from a coaching and franchise point of view, we'll give him every opportunity to sort of grow into the player that we hope he will develop into, he explained. JSK also delivered one of the major surprises of the day by signing T20 batting giant Kieron Pollard, with the absence of a counter-bid from his long-time team MI Cape Town. Morkel was thrilled to add the explosive batter's leadership and firepower to the Super Kings setup. Obviously, I was really surprised to see him in the auction first up. From the information that we gathered, he was still very keen to play. It's not like we asked him to come out of retirement. He's really keen to play in the tournament and what it brings to our team: the leadership, that winning mentality, that hardness on the field, and that West Indian flair, if you want to call it that. I think that's something that we can really use. He makes our middle to lower batting order look really strong. So he was a no-brainer for us. I do understand the history behind the Mumbai and the Super Kings franchises very well. I've been a part of it. So obviously a lot of disappointed Mumbai fans, but I'm sure, with him joining Joburg Super Kings, he's going to have a big support base in Johannesburg. The switch from a rookie draft system to a structured Under-23 slot has had a huge impact on the franchise scouting departments. On the challenge of adding young blood to the fray without getting too deep into the under-23 talent pool, Pretoria Capitals assistant coach Shaun Pollock outlined the balance that needs to be struck in evaluating domestic prodigies compared to other global talent. Obviously, the different age groups, the scouting is formidable about how everyone goes and finds out and watches the different levels of cricket. I suppose it's trying to work out the balance and how high a standard the cricket is. So it's not just as easy as identifying someone and making sure that they get a chance. You don't want to stunt their growth by knocking their confidence. So there's a lot of balance in that. But I think everyone's very conscious. I think all the coaches would agree we're very conscious about trying to find some young talent. For example, I suppose Sooryavanshi has brought a different dimension to the way people think about the younger guys and whether they can do it. Obviously, the different age groups, the scouting is formidable about how everyone goes and finds out and watches the different levels of cricket. I suppose it's trying to work out the balance and how high a standard the cricket is. So it's not just as easy as identifying someone and making sure that they get a chance. You don't want to stunt their growth by knocking their confidence. So there's a lot of balance in that. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Nana Patekar: 7 moments that revealed the man behind the intense screen persona
Highlights From a feared gangster to a comic underworld boss, Nana Patekar played characters that were worlds apart His most memorable roles often relied on sharp dialogue, distinctive mannerisms and powerful screen presence Parinda and Krantiveer showcased his intensity, while Welcome revealed his flair for comedy Natsamrat brought out a more vulnerable side of the actor in one of his most emotionally demanding roles These seven performances show why Patekar remained difficult to typecast throughout his career Nana Patekar never needed a conventional leading-man image to leave a lasting impression. Across a career spanning more than four decades, he created characters that could be intimidating, vulnerable, funny, angry or deeply emotional, often within the same performance. His ability to disappear into vastly different roles became one of the defining features of his career. From dangerous gangsters and determined police officers to ageing theatre actors and comic gangsters, Patekar repeatedly showed that his range extended far beyond the intense persona audiences often associated with him. Here are seven characters that capture the extraordinary range of Nana Patekar's acting career. 1. Anna in Parinda As Anna in Parinda , Patekar created one of the most unsettling villains in Hindi cinema. His portrayal of the ruthless Mumbai gangster was intense without feeling exaggerated, making the character unpredictable and frightening. The performance earned him the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor and became one of the defining roles of his early career. 2. Pratap Narayan Tilak in Krantiveer Krantiveer gave Patekar a very different challenge. His character, Pratap Narayan Tilak, is a troubled man whose anger gradually finds a larger purpose. Patekar brought both aggression and vulnerability to the role, creating a character whose emotional transformation drives much of the film. His performance earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor. 3. Appa Belvalkar in Natsamrat In the Marathi drama Natsamrat , Patekar played Appa Belvalkar, a legendary stage actor confronting life after retirement. The role allowed him to explore ageing, pride, loneliness and the pain of losing one's place in the world. Patekar's performance was deeply emotional without losing the character's theatrical personality, making Appa one of the most important roles of his later career. 4. Sadhu Agashe in Ab Tak Chhappan Patekar's portrayal of police officer Sadhu Agashe in Ab Tak Chhappan showed another side of his ability to command a screen. Rather than relying on exaggerated heroics, he played Agashe with restraint and authority. The character's moral complexity gave Patekar space to use silence, expressions and controlled dialogue delivery as much as action. 5. Uday Shetty in Welcome Perhaps the clearest proof that Patekar could turn his intensity into comedy came with Uday Shetty in Welcome . As the hot-headed gangster trying to get his sister married, Patekar played against the seriousness associated with many of his earlier roles. His timing, expressions and chemistry with Anil Kapoor made Uday one of the film's most memorable characters. The role also introduced his comic side to a new generation of mainstream audiences. 6. Baba in Salaam Bombay! Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay! came early in Patekar's career and featured him as Baba, a ruthless drug dealer. The performance reflected the raw, naturalistic quality that would become central to his acting. Rather than presenting a conventional screen villain, Patekar gave Baba an unsettling realism that suited the film's portrayal of children living on the margins of Mumbai. 7. Prabhakar Anand in Raajneeti In Prakash Jha's Raajneeti , Patekar played Prabhakar Anand, a political figure caught between idealism, family and power. Even within an ensemble featuring several major actors, Patekar brought a quiet authority to the character. The role showed how effectively he could communicate emotion and conflict without turning every scene into a dramatic outburst. A legacy built on range These characters represent only a fraction of Nana Patekar's filmography, but together they explain why his work has remained so distinctive. He could make an audience fear him in Parinda , root for him in Krantiveer , empathise with him in Natsamrat and laugh with him in Welcome . That ability to move between completely different emotional worlds was central to his appeal. Patekar's legacy is not simply about the number of acclaimed films he made. It is about the characters he left behind and the very different ways he made audiences feel. Decades after many of these films were released, those performances remain instantly recognisable. That enduring connection with audiences is perhaps the clearest testament to the extraordinary range of Nana Patekar.

Mukesh Khanna shares an interesting anecdote about Nana Patekar from Raja shoot
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna remembered late actor Nana Patekar and shared an interesting anecdote from the sets of Indra Kumars 1995 film Raja. He recalled an encounter that reflected Patekars instinctive approach to acting. Khanna told IANS that although he did not meet the actor at parties, their paths had crossed on several occasions. He recalled a particular incident during the shooting of 'Raja,' which starred Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor in the lead roles. I haven't met Nana in parties, I don't go to parties. But I have had a lot of coincidences with him. I did a film, Gang Gang, a long time ago. Recently, I had an encounter with him, it was very interesting. I was doing a film of Indu Kumar, Raja, Khanna said. Recalling the shoot, Khanna said he had raised an objection to a particular scene involving his character and his sister. He felt the sequence did not fit with the image of his character and even stopped the shooting for nearly two hours. I stopped the shooting of the film for two hours. I said, no Thakur will let a stranger enter his sister's room. And on top of that, touch. I stopped the shooting for two hours, he recalled. According to Khanna, Patekar approached him and explained the scene from an actors perspective. His reasoning eventually convinced Khanna to agree to perform the sequence. Nana Patekar came to me... He said, You are doing it for your sister. He convinced me a lot, then ultimately I agreed, Khanna said. The Shaktimaan actor said he initially felt the scene did not align with the image he had established for his character. However, he later agreed with Patekars interpretation. I said, 'I don't even have this image. Although later, in the end, in the whole climax, my image was also corrected. Indra Kumar understood that... (the character) will not do such a thing, he said. Mukesh also recalled how Patekar would sometimes step in with suggestions for actors during the making of the film. He said Patekars interventions were viewed differently by the director and some members of the cast. Because he used to come in between and give instructions to the actor. Mukesh, do this and that. And Madhuri used to say, Why? How did you come? Why? Khanna recalled. Khanna later discovered that Patekar did not eventually play the role he had been associated with in the film, with Paresh Rawal taking on the part. Remembering Patekars contribution to cinema, the actor praised his dialogue delivery and acting abilities, calling him an actor for whom there was no replacement. You will not find such an actor. Neither was, nor is, nor will be. His dialogue delivery... Khanna said. He added that he understood the importance of dialogue delivery himself and admired the way Patekar handled dialogues. Veteran actor Nana Patekar passed away on October 8.

Nanded restricts industrial use of crop residues amid drought

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Actor and television host Shekhar Suman paid an emotional tribute to veteran actor Nana Patekar. He revealed that the acclaimed actor was supposed to be the final guest of Season 1 of his show, Shekhar Tonite. Remembering Patekar, Suman said he had imagined the two old colleagues sharing conversations, laughter, and candid moments on the show, but his untimely demise has left the chair meant for him empty. Sharing Nanas photo on Instagram, Shekhar wrote, Nana you were supposed to sit across from me. Not leave us like this. This morning, I woke up to news I still dont quite know how to accept. Nana Patekar was supposed to be the final guest of Season 1 of Shekhar Tonight. I had imagined the laughter. The silences. His brutally honest answers. That unmistakable Nana intensity. And somewhere between all of it, perhaps two old colleagues talking about how quickly life has gone by. That chair will now remain empty. And somehow, that emptiness says more than any conversation ever could. Nana was never merely an actor. He was a force of nature. He spoke the way he lived, without decoration, without pretence, straight from somewhere deep within. There was anger in him, humour in him, vulnerability in him, rebellion in him but above everything else, there was truth. Very few people have the courage to be entirely themselves in an industry that so often asks you to become somebody else, he added. The Bhoomi actor went on to state, perhaps this is lifes cruellest reminder, we keep assuming there will be another phone call, another meeting, another evening, another opportunity to tell someone what they meant to us. Sometimes there isnt. Nana, wherever you are, I hope you know how deeply you were loved, respected and admired. Generations will remember the performances, the dialogues and that extraordinary voice. But those who understood you will remember something beyond cinema, the man who refused to dilute himself for anyone. Season 1 of Shekhar Tonight was supposed to end with your voice. Instead, it ends with your silence And that silence will stay with me for a very, very long time. Farewell, Nana. you will forever have a place in our story. Om Shanti, he concluded. Veteran actor Nana Patekar passed away on October 8. As per reports, he was found unresponsive at his Goa residence after reportedly suffering severe chest discomfort.

The Delhi Half Marathon is one of the toughest races in the country, with a field that pushes you to your limit, and I am looking forward to testing myself against the best elite runners over the half marathon distance. I will give it everything on race day, said Harmanjot Singh. Kiran Matre, meanwhile, will return to a familiar setting after finishing second among the Indian elite men at last years Delhi Half Marathon.

Matre, the 2024 World 10K Bengaluru Indian Elite champion, will have to contend with Kartik Karkera, who enters the race after winning the Indian Elite mens title at the 2026 Mumbai Marathon and finishing third among the Indian elite runners in Delhi last year.

Nifty touches fresh 52-week low, Sensex tanks 1,045 points over global jitters
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Indian equity benchmarks witnessed a sharp sell-off on Thursday as a steep rise in global crude oil prices, concerns over prolonged tight monetary conditions, and continued foreign fund outflows rattled investor sentiment. Brent crude surged 4 per cent and crossed the $104-per-barrel mark, stoking fears of persistent inflationary pressures and raising concerns about the outlook for interest rates. The benchmark Sensex slumped 1,045.46 points, or 1.44 per cent, to close at 71,593.24, extending losses for a second consecutive session. During the day, the index fell to an intra-day low of 71,327.75. The Nifty also ended sharply lower, dropping 371.25 points, or 1.64 per cent, to settle at 22,231.80. The benchmark touched an intra-day low of 22,179.90, marking its lowest level of 2026. Technically, the Nifty closed below its monthly 50-SMA, confirming deterioration in the medium-term price structure. It also broke the 22,55022,600 and 22,400 support zones, placing the psychological 22,000 level in focus, market watchers said. Any recovery may face resistance at 22,400 and then 22,600, analysts mentioned. Investor sentiment remained under pressure amid growing expectations that both domestic and global interest rates could remain elevated for longer than previously anticipated. Higher crude oil prices added to these concerns by reviving worries over inflation and their potential impact on economic growth and corporate profitability. The weakness was broad-based across the market, with only a handful of stocks managing to escape the selling pressure. Among the 30-Sensex constituents, Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank and Infosys were the only gainers. On the losing side, ITC, IndiGo, Power Grid Corporation and Bharat Electronics declined more than 3 per cent each. NTPC, Reliance Industries and Maruti Suzuki also featured among the major laggards. Selling pressure was particularly intense in metal stocks, making the Nifty Metal index the biggest sectoral loser of the day. In contrast, the Nifty IT index showed resilience and outperformed the broader market. Broader markets also came under significant pressure as risk aversion intensified. The Nifty MidCap index dropped 2.53 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap index fell 2.34 per cent. Looking ahead, the market focus shifts to the Q2 earnings season, where management commentary on demand sustainability and input cost absorption will provide critical near-term direction, market watchers stated.

He recalled the circumstances that brought the two together and praised his versatility, wit and distinctive personality.

Nana Patekar Death | Nana Patekar's Journey Through His Cinema | Nana Patekar Movies
He was only 13 then. After school, he would walk eight kilometres to Chunabhatti (eastern Mumbai) to paint film posters, earning Rs 35 per month and getting one meal a day. One of their relatives betrayed his father and usurped their property. Life was tough. Nana Patekar didn't have to go to any acting school. He learnt acting through hardships in real life. I was in Class IX, but that humiliation and hunger taught me so much that I didn't need to go to any acting school, the actor told The Times of India in an interview in 2015. Nana Patekar was unpredictable as an actor. With films like Parinda (1989), Prahaar: The Final Attack (1991) and Krantiveer (1994) establishing him as a bankable star, Nana Patekar switched to comedies, such as the Welcome franchise, smoothly later in his life. Nana, who once said I don't have the fear of death from the beginning, died on Thursday morning (October 8) at his Goa home. According to hospital sources, doctors tried to revive him for almost 45 minutes after he was brought in, but there was no response.

Yeh waali tune achhi banayi Yeh waali mujhe achhi nahi lagi Yeh waali superhit hai Yeh tune hit banane ki koshish ki hai And then, in your own way, you would remind me, Abay, tu khud star hai tujhe itne stars ki zaroorat nahi hai. I will never forget when you did a cameo in Golmaal Again. I asked you, Dada, aapki fees?, he added. Rohit further revealed, And you looked at me and said, Ch****ya, tujhse paise lunga?

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Celebrity photographer Atul Kasbekar remembered veteran actor Nana Patekar following his demise on October 8, recalling their warm relationship and sharing a deeply personal anecdote from one of their meetings. Atul Kasbekar revealed that Nana Patekar had once shown him a stack of firewood he had prepared for his own funeral, adding that the actor had joked about not wanting people to cry at his funeral merely because smoke from wet wood had got into their eyes. Sharing a series of memories, Kasbekar wrote on his social media account, Nana Saheb. What a man. What a loss. I shared a wonderfully warm relationship with Nana Patekar. We didnt meet often, but whenever we did, it felt like wed met yesterday. He was particularly proud that a fellow Maharashtrian had made a name in photography. Always a warm word, invariably laced with his trademark acidic wit. He added, Unpredictable. Intense. Fiercely individualistic. Nana Saheb didnt enter a room. He took possession of it. One of my most cherished memories is photographing him for my exhibition HONEST: Portraits of Character, possibly among his last formal portrait sessions. He insisted I come to his farm near Pune. He further wrote, His first question was how many people were coming. Not out of concern for the crew size, but because everyone would be served lunch..And what a feast! Every assistant, spot boy and driver was seated in his main dining area, with Nana Saheb personally walking around serving extra rotis and helpings of his famous mutton. He added, No hierarchy. No fuss. Just extraordinary generosity from a man who could intimidate an entire film set with one raised eyebrow. He then proudly showed me around his property, including his gym, where he casually knocked off a dozen tricep dips. Stone cold. No warm-up. Show-off! And then, in a moment of spectacularly morbid humour, showed me a stack of firewood hed prepared for his own funeral. He further revealed, Hed kept it dry, he explained, because wet wood smokes, and he didnt want people crying at his funeral merely because the smoke got into their eyes! Only Nana Saheb could turn his own cremation into a comedy routine. A phenomenal actor. The voice of a generation. A formidable presence. And beneath that intimidating exterior, a deeply generous, solid human being. His loss feels personal. Like a punch in the guts. Im honoured to have made those portraits but infinitely more grateful for the time, conversations and laughter we shared. He concluded, My heartfelt condolences to Malhar, Neelu ji and all his loved ones. Rest easy, Nana Saheb. There will never be another quite like you. Earlier, Atul Kasbekar had also shared a video of Patekar working out in April 2026, which later resurfaced following his death. In the clip, Patekar could be seen in a white vest and shorts with a gamcha around his neck, effortlessly performing tricep dips in a gym. He completed several repetitions before smiling at the camera, with Kasbekar praising his fitness and describing him as a legend. For the uninitiated, Atul Kasbekars recollection comes after Nana Patekars death on October 8, 2026, at the age of 75. The actor died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his residence in Dona Paula, Goa. He was taken to Manipal Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him for around 45 minutes before he was declared dead at approximately 5:20 AM.

GM Breweries Q2 results: Shares tank nearly 7 pc after margin decline
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Shares of GM Breweries Limited fell sharply on Thursday after the company reported its second-quarter results for the financial year 2027, with investors reacting to a decline in operating margins despite growth in profit and revenue. The stock, which had gained as much as 2 per cent earlier in the session, reversed gains and fell as much as 6.61 per cent to an intra-day low of Rs 921 on the BSE. For the quarter ended September, GM Breweries reported a 12.3 per cent year-on-year increase in net profit to Rs 39.3 crore, compared with Rs 35 crore in the corresponding quarter last financial year. Revenue from operations also increased 18.2 per cent to Rs 214 crore from Rs 181 crore a year earlier. The company's operating performance remained positive on a year-on-year basis, with EBITDA rising 12 per cent to Rs 50.3 crore from Rs 45 crore in the year-ago quarter. However, EBITDA margin declined to 23.5 per cent from 25 per cent a year earlier, a contraction of more than 250 basis points.

Limbu Punch, is a prominent player in India's country liquor market. On a sequential basis, the company's profit increased marginally from Rs 38 crore reported in Q1 FY27, while revenue rose from Rs 200 crore in the June quarter. In Q1 FY27, GM Breweries had reported a 46 per cent year-on-year increase in net profit and a 23 per cent rise in revenue, as per its regulatory filing.

Movie buffs woke up to the sad news that Nana Patekar is no more. The 75-year-old actor passed away due to a heart attack in Goa on the morning of October 8. In an interview 11 years ago, Nana had revealed how he got his first film, his association with Ajay Devgn and why he would sometimes walk away from the set. As part of the promotion of Welcome Back in August 2015, Nana Patekar told Bombay Times, I came into films because of Smita Patil, who was already doing films and knew me from Pune. I had been reluctant, but she insisted. She took me to Ravi Chopra for a role in Aaj Ki Awaz (1984) and initially, I was offered a lousy role of one of the rapists. I said no and told them what kind of actor I was. I was annoyed and was leaving just when Smita came. She asked me, 'Why are you going?' I abused the person who had offered me that role. And then I got a better role, which also was not great, but I got recognized for that film. In 2018, he worked in a Marathi film, Aapla Manus, which was produced by Ajay Devgn. Just a few months before, he was seen in a hilarious special appearance in Golmaal Again (2017). In an interview with Mumbai Mirror in February 2018, Nana Patekar spoke about his bond with Ajay. He said, I did it (cameo in Golmaal Again) only for Ajay. Hes a dear friend and a really nice guy. Humari dosti marte dum tak rahegi. In an interview to Mid-Day in the same month, he was asked about getting angry and at times, even walking away from the set. He reasoned, I may sound arrogant, but its true that I interfere a lot on the sets. There have been times when I have even walked out. But these things happen when the scriptwriter has not written the script, and then he makes it up at the last minute. I am not a machine. I cant learn the lines in half an hour.

We had actually discussed this just a month ago, Sawant said. It is very sad that this could not move forward, and he passed away in Goa. I am deeply saddened; I have lost a very close friend, and I share his family's grief, he added. This is a huge loss for the entire nation In a separate interaction with the media in Delhi, Sawant said Nana Patekars death was a loss not only for the film industry but also for Maharashtra and Goa.

Kommune and Netflix India launch fifth edition of Voices of Tomorrow for localisation writers
Kommune and Netflix India have announced the fifth edition of Voices of Tomorrow, a professional training programme focused on developing emerging talent in subtitling and adaptation. The latest edition will train writers to adapt Indian films and series from Hindi into English for audiences across the world. Following four editions that focused on expanding access to professional voice performance, the initiative will now explore the writing involved in subtitles and dubbed dialogue. The programme aims to create opportunities for writers interested in localisation, where understanding language also requires an understanding of storytelling, dialogue and cultural context. With Indian films and series reaching audiences in different parts of the world, the programme will focus on helping writers create English adaptations that retain the emotion and intent of the original material. A total of 30 participants will be selected for a three-month training programme in Mumbai, scheduled across November 2026, December 2026 and January 2027. The curriculum will include screenwriting fundamentals, dubbing adaptation and subtitling. Participants will undergo structured training, complete assignments and gain exposure to professional studio workflows. Speaking about the new edition, Roshan Abbas, Founder of Kommune, said, Voices of Tomorrow has always been about widening access to the people and skills that shape how stories are experienced. This edition takes that work into the writing room. Subtitlers and adapters do far more than translate words; they carry humour, emotion, rhythm and cultural context from one audience to another. We want to give promising writers the craft, confidence and industry exposure to do that work at a professional level. Ashwini Kulkarni, Senior Manager, India, Content Localization at Netflix, added, As Indian stories find audiences around the world, thoughtful localisation helps ensure that their meaning, emotion and character remain intact. Through Voices of Tomorrow, we hope to support writers who understand both language and storytelling, and equip them with the practical skills needed to create adaptations and subtitles that feel authentic to audiences. The training will be conducted by writer, actor and director Dhruv Sehgal, translator, actor and voiceover artist Sahil Vaid, and subtitler and creative writer Yooti Bhansali. The mentors will cover screenwriting, adaptation and subtitling while also introducing participants to professional localisation workflows. Actor and voiceover artist Shernaz Patel, Roshan Abbas, and subtitler and translator Meera Krishnan will form the jury for the programme. They will help identify applicants with an aptitude for language, dialogue, storytelling and cultural adaptation. Who Can Apply Voices of Tomorrow is open to Indian citizens aged 18 and above who are fluent in Hindi and English, have an interest in writing for localisation and can attend the training programme in Mumbai. Applicants will need to complete the online application form and submit the required details, including a copy of a government-issued identity document. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an in-person writing test, after which 30 participants will be selected. Applications are currently open, and interested candidates can apply through the official application form. Since its launch in 2022, Voices of Tomorrow has been developed by Kommune in collaboration with Netflix India as a professional training initiative aimed at broadening access to India's dubbing and localisation industries. Its previous four editions have trained more than 60 participants from communities and age groups that have traditionally had limited access to conventional talent pipelines. With its fifth edition, the initiative is extending its focus to localisation writing and aims to prepare a new group of subtitlers and adapters to work on Indian stories for global audiences.
