Watching South Delhi Superstarz: Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan congratulated the South Delhi Superstarz after the franchise clinched the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 title at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, describing the triumph as a moment that reinforced his belief in the impact and power of sport. Dhawan, Chairman of Da One Group and Founder of the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation, co-owns the South Delhi Superstarz through Da One Sports. The former India opener was present at the Arun Jaitley Stadium for the final and joined the players in celebrating their title-winning performance.

South Delhi Superstarz sealed the title with a commanding seven-wicket victory over Central Delhi Kings in the final, successfully chasing 183 with 10 balls to spare. Ankit Dabas and Anmol Sharma played key roles in the successful chase, scoring 62 runs each. The victory marked another significant achievement for the franchise, which has now seen both its men's and women's teams enjoy title success across successive editions of the tournament. The women's team won the DPL in 2025, while the men's side followed with the 2026 crown. The franchise's women's team is also set to feature in the final of the ongoing season on Wednesday. For Dhawan, however, the significance of the title extends beyond silverware. He highlighted the opportunities that competitions such as the DPL provide to young cricketers seeking to showcase their abilities and develop their careers. What excites me most isnt just the trophies. Its seeing young cricketers get a platform, take responsibility, play without fear and discover what they are capable of, he said in his Instagram post.

Abhishek Banerjee has spoken about how his work in Stolen influenced the way filmmakers approached him professionally. Following the success of Stree 2, the actor took on the lead role in the survival thriller, which presented him in a different genre and required him to carry much of the films emotional and narrative arc. Reflecting on the shift in his career after Stree 2, Abhishek said, Stree 2 jaisi commercial film ke baad, meri agli film thi Stolen. It was a completely different space and a different genre. So, I think that also worked for me where people saw that I can take responsibility of a film on my shoulders and be with it till the last point. I am leading a few interesting projects and Im enjoying this journey. Directed by Karan Tejpal, Stolen revolves around two brothers searching for a kidnapped baby, with Abhishek playing Gautam Bansal. The film premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 7, 2023, before its release on Amazon Prime Video on May 10, 2025. The thriller also travelled to international film festivals, including those in Beijing, Japans Skip City and Zurich. The actors upcoming projects continue to span different genres and formats. He will next reprise his popular character Compounder in Mirzapur: The Movie, which is scheduled to release on September 4. The film brings back several characters from the Mirzapur universe, including Divyendu Sharmas Munna Tripathi, while Abhishek returns with the characters familiar Ustara.

Excel Entertainment co-founder and producer Ritesh Sidhwani has opened up about the challenges of bringing Mirzapur from streaming to the big screen with Mirzapur: The Movie. The upcoming film marks the theatrical transition of the popular franchise and is set to bring its established characters and world to cinemas on September 4, 2026. With the series having already completed three seasons, one of the key challenges for the makers was creating a feature film that could offer something new to existing fans while also functioning as a standalone cinematic experience. During an interview, Sidhwani was asked what Mirzapur: The Movie could do in a theatre that the series could not, particularly given the challenge of fitting the franchises extensive story into a three-hour feature. Explaining the approach, he said, We are taking an IP created as a series and turning it into a feature film. We have seen the reverse happen many times, where films are turned into series. So, in a way, we are breaking the format again and trying something different. Mirzapur has a very loyal fan base, and we are giving those fans something new to experience in theatres. We are essentially saying, You already love these characters. Now come and experience them in a completely different way. Sidhwani further explained that the film does not attempt to compress the three seasons of the series into one theatrical outing. Instead, the makers developed an untold chapter set within the timeline of the first season. He said, The idea was to take an untold chapter from Season 1 (between two or three episodes) and bring it to the big screen. We also wanted to bring back beloved characters, including Munna Bhaiya and others who were no longer around by Season 3. The first challenge was to tell a story without affecting the narrative of the later seasons. Secondly, we had to ensure the film didn't feel like three stitched-together episodes of the series. It had to work as a film, with its own beginning, middle and end. It needed its own midpoint, emotional journey and payoff so that audiences could enjoy it as a complete story without affecting Season 4, which will follow. However, if anyone has not watched any season of the series, he/she would still be able to enjoy the film. The films theatrical format is being positioned as a new way for audiences to revisit the Mirzapur universe, while retaining its established characters and tone. The return of characters such as Munna Bhaiya has further added to the anticipation surrounding the film. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment, with Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani serving as co-producers. Mirzapur: The Movie is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 4, 2026.

UP T20 League: Lucknow Falcons have officially booked their place in the UP T20 League 2026 playoffs following a hard-fought 24-run victory over the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions in match 26. Played at Kanpurs historic Green Park Stadium, a venue that has hosted 40 international matches, the result marks Lucknow's fifth win in nine games, making them the second franchise after the Meerut Mavericks to advance to the knockout stages. It was a very important win for us to qualify. The first aim of the team has been achieved, stated a highly satisfied Lucknow skipper, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, following the victory. The path to qualification, however, looked incredibly unlikely early in the evening. Opting to bowl first, Lions skipper Shivam Sharma applied immense pressure, delivering a miserly spell of 2/12 in his three overs, including a maiden, to reduce Lucknow to a precarious 51/4 in 8.4 overs. Reflecting on the turbulent start, Bhuvneshwar admitted the team had to severely recalibrate their targets from the dugout. It was very satisfying because we didnt really get the start we wanted, the captain revealed. During the 10-over break, our honest aim was to reach around 100 runs by the 15th over and add another 40 to 50 runs in the final five. Sitting in the dressing room, we thought even 130 to 140 would be a fighting total. What followed was a sensational 109-run partnership off just 64 balls between Ajeet Verma and Kritagya Singh that completely shifted the momentum. Verma smashed an unbeaten 75 off 45 balls, decorated with eight boundaries and three sixes, while Singh delivered a crucial 44 off 31, powering the Falcons to a highly competitive 170/5 in 20 overs. The maturity shown by Ajeet and Kritagya was excellent, Bhuvneshwar noted. That partnership was something we had been lacking in the tournament so far. The way we batted, we did much better than what we had expected. That partnership is the reason we are in this winning position today. The skipper reserved special praise for Verma, whose consistent performances demanded a regular spot. He has made a massive impact. His batting has been so impressive that we had to bring him into the playing XI. It shows that when a youngster performs well, the entire team benefits. Defending 170, Gorakhpur's chase was immediately derailed by Lucknow's Abhinandan Singh, who cleaned up openers Abhay Pratap Singh and Aryan Chaudhary cheaply. The Lions stumbled to 70/5 in 10.3 overs after Akshu Bajwa claimed two wickets and Vipraj Nigam took one. Refusing to surrender, Prince Yadav (49 off 36) and Parth Palawat built a dangerous 56-run stand off 40 balls to revive the chase. With 45 runs needed off the final 18 deliveries, Bhuvneshwar tossed the ball back to Abhinandan for the crucial 18th over.

5 Reasons why Chitrangda Singh continues to be one of Bollywoods most versatile actors
Chitrangda Singh has built a filmography that does not lend itself easily to a single description. Over the years, the actor has moved between emotionally layered dramas, mainstream entertainers and streaming projects, often choosing characters that offer a different challenge from her previous work. From Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Inkaar to Baazaar, Bob Biswas and her more recent projects, Chitrangda has explored varied characters and storytelling formats. Here are five reasons why her career continues to reflect that versatility. 1. She can transform into completely different characters One of Chitrangdas strengths has been her ability to approach characters with contrasting personalities. As Geeta Rao in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, she portrayed an idealistic young woman navigating personal and political upheaval. Years later, her role as Gayatri in Inkaar presented a very different persona. Her performance as Meeta in Desi Boyz further demonstrated her ability to work within a commercial entertainer while bringing emotional depth to her character. 2. She has taken on morally complicated women Chitrangda has also gravitated towards characters who cannot be easily categorised as simply good or bad. In Baazaar, she played Seema, a character with an assured and morally complex edge. She entered a darker and more grounded world with Bob Biswas, where she portrayed Mary Biswas. These roles allowed the actor to explore characters driven by conflicting emotions and circumstances rather than straightforward motivations. 3. She moves between commercial films, arthouse stories and OTT Chitrangdas filmography spans different formats and scales. She has been part of a mainstream franchise with Housefull 5 while also exploring a more intimate cinematic space with Parikrama. Her work in Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders further places her within the OTT thriller space, demonstrating her willingness to work across mediums and storytelling styles rather than remaining confined to conventional theatrical roles. 4. She relies on restraint to make an impact Chitrangdas performances often use controlled expressions rather than relying entirely on overt dramatic moments. In Inkaar, her portrayal of Maya Luthra derives much of its impact from the characters composure and confidence. Similarly, in Gabbar Is Back, she showcased an entirely different side with Aao Raja, delivering a sensual and striking dance performance that became one of the films most popular songs and earned her widespread praise. 5. Her career has focused on evolution rather than repetition From Geeta in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Gayatri in Inkaar to Mary in Bob Biswas and her more recent work, Chitrangda has continued to experiment with different kinds of roles. Rather than relying on one particular image or repeating a character template that has worked before, her choices have taken her across genres, formats and tonalities. That willingness to explore different facets of her craft remains one of the defining aspects of Chitrangda Singhs career.

Neser, 36, has been a foundation player for the Heat since the inaugural 2011/12 season, and will now return for his seventh summer with the Brisbane-based side. The extension strengthens a formidable pace attack that includes his fellow national team quicks Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson alongside emerging fast bowler Callum Vidler. New Brisbane Heat head coach James Hopes praised the veteran paceman's impact on the side, highlighting his influence during high-pressure games. You look at when the Heat are at their absolute best and (he) is never far away from the action. His presence around the group always helps the players as they strive to be a successful unit. It was fantastic to see him enjoy the Ashes victory last season and know that he had brought those same qualities to the Australian team, he said in a statement by the franchise on Sunday. Neser sits joint-ninth on the all-time BBL wicket-takers list with 117 scalps across 105 matches. After a nine-season stint with Adelaide Strikers, where he won the title in BBL season seven, Neser rejoined Heat in 2021. He enjoyed a stellar campaign in BBL season 12, claiming a career-best 26 wickets to lead Heat to the final, followed by a 12-wicket tally in the subsequent season, where the side secured their second championship title. Neser has also taken the 11th spot on Brisbane Heat's 18-player men's roster for BBL season 16. Expressing his delight over the extension, Neser spoke about playing in front of the passionate home crowd at the Gabba. As a player, it's always been the best thing about the BBL; there is always the chance to make an impact on the game. There's nothing better than being a Heat player at the Gabba when the ground is packed and the crowd is heaving, and you look up in a key moment and know that everyone is right there with you, he added.

The News Mill
Komal Nahta had a conversation with Adnan Sami, during which the latter spoke strongly against the growing trend of remixed songs. Adnan Sami began by saying, It is always lovely to revive an old song. In my opinion, the ratio should be 80-20, with 20 being the remixed songs. Thats how it was before. But now, its 20-80 (laughs)! Adnan then stated, One word that would define this is khauff. The corporates are scared to experiment. It is happening even in cinemas. Remakes are attempted, sequels are made; even prequels are planned! Off-shoots bhi chal rahe hain. First, they made Batman. When they exhausted that character, they decided Joker banate hai! You see, these are all very safe subjects. The Odyssey recently released; pehli dafa toh yeh nahin ban rahi hai na? He added, Even in our cinema, franchises are made as they are safe. Earlier, such things were very rare. Star Wars and The Godfather had sequels. But this was not a regular thing. The same is happening in music. They come across a super-hit song from the 70s, 80s or 90s. They know its a sure-shot success. So, they decide Mukhda wohi rakh dena, antara change kar dena! Adnan Sami continued, When you ask record labels that aap yeh (remix) kyun kar rahe hain, they reply, Because public chahti hai (smiles). However, the thing is that if a man is hungry and you present him with sookhe chawal, toh woh uspe toot padega. And if you ask someone why you are feeding him sookhe chawal, hed reply Yehi toh woh chahta hai. Dekho kitne maze se woh kha raha hai! But hes savouring it as you didnt serve him khichdi or biryani. Adnan Sami opined, What saddens me is that every generation call certain songs their own. My father used to say Dheere Se Aaja Ri Ankhiyan Mein mere waqt ka gaana hai. I would feel the same for Chura Liya Hai. The ones who grew up in the 90s would feel a sense of belonging for the songs of say, Aashiqui (1990). But which song would this generation consider their own? After all, you have mostly presented recreated versions to them. He also said, We often blame music composers for remixes. But the reality is that those poor music directors are asked to come up with recreated versions. Kya woh dil se bana rahe hain? I can give you in writing that no music director ever dreamed as a child that he would grow up and work on remixes. So, dont blame them; blame those who zabardasti make them do it.

Under the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab is committed to strengthening sports at the grassroots and creating more opportunities for young talent. The Sher-E-Punjab T20 League is an important platform in that journey, and Punjab Kings coming on board further strengthens the connection between grassroots cricket and the professional game. Amarjeet Mehta, president, Punjab Cricket Association, said, Punjab has always been a fertile ground for cricketing talent, and our responsibility is to ensure that this talent gets the right platforms and opportunities to progress. The association with Punjab Kings adds considerable value to the league and strengthens the connection between the states grassroots cricket and the professional game. With leading players and emerging talent coming together, the league can play an important role in creating a stronger and more sustainable pathway for Punjabs cricketers.
