A.R. Rahman unveils Asha Forever tribute song for Asha Bhosle on her birth anniversary
A.R. Rahman unveiled Asha Forever, a special musical tribute to legendary singer Asha Bhosle, on her birth anniversary. The tribute song was launched in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, with Asha Bhosles granddaughter Zanai Bhosle also attending the occasion. Speaking at the release, Rahman expressed his gratitude to the Maharashtra Chief Minister for supporting the tribute and marking the special occasion. He said, I am deeply grateful to the Honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis ji, for graciously inviting us and giving us his valuable time on this special occasion as we honour the legendary Asha Ji with this song. Asha Bhosle was Maharashtras and our national pride, she was our greatest strength in taking our music global. Her voice and music transcended every boundary, and it is very special to celebrate her legacy. Asha Forever has a significant connection to Asha Bhosle, as the song was recorded by Rahman with the legendary singer during her lifetime. The project also brings together students and musicians from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, adding an international musical dimension to the tribute. Penned by lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya, the song was filmed across London and Mumbai. The visual presentation brings together elements associated with the tribute that was originally envisioned during Asha Bhosles lifetime. Following the singers passing, AI technology was used, with consent, to realise certain visual elements of the original concept that could no longer be brought together in person. The project thus seeks to carry forward the celebration while acknowledging the circumstances surrounding its completion. Asha Bhosle, whose career spanned several decades, remains one of the most influential voices in Indian music. Her extensive body of work across languages, genres and generations has continued to influence musicians and listeners worldwide.

Mirzapur: The Movie had another end-credit scene that was held back for Part 2; deets inside
Excel Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios Mirzapur: The Movie, starring Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu and Ali Fazal, has been generating significant buzz following its theatrical release. The film marks the big-screen continuation of one of Indias most popular cult franchises and has also left audiences with a glimpse of what could lie ahead in the story. While the end-credit scene in the theatrical release has already teased a sequel, there is reportedly another sequence that was shot for the film but deliberately held back for Mirzapur: The Movie Part 2. According to an independent industry source, There was another end-credit scene that was shot for Mirzapur: The Movie but the makers consciously decided to hold it back for Part 2. The scene initially was to feature at the end of the film and set up what comes next, but the team felt its narrative significance would have a much bigger impact when the story continues. The decision to reserve the sequence was reportedly part of the makers larger storytelling plan and was not influenced by the films box office performance. The source further explained that the sequel was always part of the plan, irrespective of how the first instalment performed theatrically. For now, audiences have only seen the version of the film that was released in cinemas, while the additional sequence is expected to become part of the story in the next chapter. The scene that was held back is now expected to feature as part of the next chapter of the film,' the source adds.

Tamannaah Bhatia is set to explore the cultural and traditional aspects of Chhath through the song Chhathi Maiya from the upcoming fantasy folklore film The Vvaan. The devotional track, which features Tamannaah at the centre, brings the festival into the narrative of the film while offering a glimpse into its folklore-driven world. Ahead of shooting for the song, Tamannaah said she took time to understand the traditions associated with Chhath and its significance in Bihar and Patna. The actor explained that the preparation went beyond simply performing for the sequence, as she wanted to understand the ritual and its cultural context. I have always held a deep reverence for Chhath Puja. Before we started shooting for the song, I spent time studying and understanding the significance of the ritual and how it is performed in Bihar and Patna. Honestly, I was stunned to learn the power it holds. The strong connection I felt with Chhathi Maiyya is something I cannot put in words. I found myself feeling deeply connected to her. Chhath Puja is one of the most important factors of The Vvaan, and I wouldn't have wanted to experience the ritual in any other way, she said. Chhathi Maiya forms part of the larger folklore and fantasy setting of The Vvaan. The song is presented under the Zee Music label and features music and vocals by Vishal Mishra, with lyrics penned by Kaushal Kishore. The choreography has been handled by Chinni Prakash. The film brings together TVF founder Arunabh Kumar, director Deepak Mishra and producer Ektaa R Kapoor for a story rooted in Indian folklore while incorporating elements of adventure, mystery, humour and romance. The project is also expanding its fictional universe through The Legend of Vvaan comic book, which introduces audiences to the folklore surrounding the story. Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with TVF and 11.11 Production, The Vvaan stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia. The film has been written by Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Mishra, with Manu Anand serving as DOP and Visual Director. The film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari. The Vvaan is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 25, 2026. With Chhathi Maiya introducing an important cultural element into the film, the song also provides a glimpse into how the makers have incorporated Chhath and its traditions into the larger fantasy folklore narrative.

Bigg Boss 20: Over 630 people work behind the scenes as show goes multilingual across six languages
Bigg Boss 20 has expanded its footprint across Indian television with the franchise being produced in six different languages. While the Hindi edition continues to be hosted by Salman Khan, the regional versions feature Vijay Sethupathi, Mohanlal, Nagarjuna, Kichcha Sudeepa and Sourav Ganguly as hosts for the Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Bangla editions, respectively. According to an independent industry source, the scale of the latest season extends well beyond what viewers see on screen. The source said, With Endemol Shine India putting Bigg Boss 20 on air in six different languages, it was a grand, never-before-seen launch. But remarkably, the show has a massive workforce behind it that works tirelessly to bring this spectacle to the screen. More than 630 people are working behind the camera across different languages, from editors and on-ground staff to talent management teams and technicians. The multilingual expansion requires coordination across multiple production teams, with each language edition involving its own set of creative, technical and operational requirements. The source further highlighted the distinctive production design associated with the franchise and the challenge of managing its various teams. Bigg Boss functions as a powerhouse in itself, with every set featuring a different style and theme. Managing such a massive workforce across multiple languages is no easy feat, but Endemol Shine India has ensured that audiences can enjoy Bigg Boss across different languages, all at the same time, the source added. The Hindi version of Bigg Boss 20 continues to be fronted by Salman Khan, who has been associated with the franchise for several seasons. Meanwhile, the regional editions bring established names from the respective entertainment industries to the format. Vijay Sethupathi leads Bigg Boss Tamil, while Malayalam superstar Mohanlal hosts Bigg Boss Malayalam. Nagarjuna returns as the host of Bigg Boss Telugu, Kichcha Sudeepa leads Bigg Boss Kannada and former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly hosts the Bangla edition. The simultaneous presence of the franchise across six languages places a considerable operational responsibility on the production teams working behind the scenes. From technical execution and editing to talent management and on-ground coordination, the workforce supports the daily functioning of the reality show across its different editions. With Bigg Boss 20 continuing its multilingual run, the scale of the franchise now extends across languages, hosts, sets and hundreds of professionals working away from the camera to bring each edition to audiences.

Six-time World Amateur Boxing Champion Mary Kom recently opened up about her journey and addressed people who, according to her, try to take credit for her success. The boxer spoke about the struggles behind her achievements during a conversation on Bigg Boss 20, making it clear that her accomplishments have been built through years of hard work, discipline and sacrifice. Mary pointed out that several people claim they were responsible for making her successful, despite not having experienced the challenges she faced as an athlete. She highlighted the physical and mental demands of boxing, including injuries and rigorous training, while questioning the claims of those who were not part of those struggles. A lot of people feel they made Mary, but they were never the ones who entered the ring, took the injuries, or went through the training. To claim credit for someone elses struggle is shameless. The boxing champion further credited her achievements to her own efforts and the sacrifices she made throughout her career. Whatever I have achieved has come from my hard work, dedication and the sacrifices I have made along the way, she added. During the conversation, Rohed also spoke about how silence is often misunderstood in todays world. He pointed out that people can mistake someones decision to remain quiet for weakness or assume that they have control over them. However, silence can also come from patience and inner strength. Mary Kom, popularly known as Magnificent Mary, is among the most accomplished names in amateur boxing. She is the only woman to have won the World Amateur Boxing Championship six times. She is also the only female boxer to have won a medal in each of the first seven World Championships and the only boxer, male or female, to win eight World Championship medals. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 20 premiered on September 6 on Colors TV and JioHotstar. The latest season features 16 celebrity contestants, including MC Mary Kom, Kanika Mann, Mahhi Vij, Kushal Tanwar, Aman Gandhi, Isha Rikhi, Arishfa Khan, Qazi Touqeer, Asif Khan, Aamrapali Dubey, Rhiti Tiwari, Uditi Singh, Tanmay Singh aka ScoutOP, Rohed Khan, Yung DSA and Love Gill.

Muzammil Ibrahim has opened up about his early years in Bollywood, recalling how actors without established industry connections often struggled to find opportunities. In an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol, the actor spoke about the influence of star families when he entered the film industry in 2007 and how the rise of OTT platforms gradually created more space for outsiders. Reflecting on the period when he made his debut with Dhokha, Ibrahim said the industry had a limited number of films and that young actors without connections often found themselves competing with several star kids. He did not shy away from describing the situation as one dominated by Nepo kids. Unfortunately, film industry was too dense with, I don't shy away from using the word Nepo kids, because I did my debut in the midst of these Nepo babies doing their debut. Like Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Imran Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Varun Dhawan, and the list goes on, he said. According to Ibrahim, the issue was not necessarily a lack of talent among outsiders but the relationships producers already had within the industry. He explained that the limited number of films being made at the time made every opportunity important for young actors. People don't realise that industry's got a very limited pool, and any producer who's doing a film, he's got so many options to do these stories, because younger stories were very less to be made, and anybody of us could have done that film, he said. He further recalled how producers would often favour actors they already knew, leaving outsiders at a disadvantage. The producer would go with only that name, which he had a relationship with, and so there the preference was not talent, but it was always relationship, like who knew the producer better. So obviously they always had the upper hand. So you definitely feel left out, he added. Ibrahim, who later found recognition as Agent Avinash in the Special OPS franchise, credited OTT with creating new opportunities for actors who had struggled to find similar visibility in films. When OTT came, and unfortunately like people were so tired of watching these films with the same people, and so many of these names that I have taken, are not doing work, they don't find any space right now, because people were tired and sick of them, doing the same kind of work, acting the same way, he said. He said streaming platforms allowed actors to showcase a wider range of performances, pointing to his own work in Special OPS as an example. Now the OTT has given me the option where I can play a role like agent Avinash in Special Ops, and people get to see that, oh you know, this guy stands out. The response has been shared across everyone, like everybody, including Neeraj Pandey told me this, he said. Ibrahim also highlighted Jaideep Ahlawat and several other performers who gained greater visibility through OTT. It has given, not to me, but to other actors, like Jaideep Ahlawat, and all of them, they're doing OTT, and then helming very good films also, so you know, I think it has opened doors for a lot many actors, Ibrahim said. He believes the success of OTT performers has also influenced producers, who are increasingly willing to consider talent beyond established film families. It's done, tremendously well for a lot of actors because, and for audience also, audience is getting to see, what actors should be like, and they're holding accountable to all of these producers, who only did work with star kids. So even they are a little scared, and you can see that, because of the producers, have changed their gears, and taking up talent from OTT and TV, he pointed out. Ibrahim also addressed the perception that OTT success cannot be measured in the same way as theatrical films. Citing Special OPS 2, he said streaming platforms have their own numbers and rankings. Even for OTT platform it's not like you don't see the numbers and people cannot or anybody inside doesn't know like which OTT platform is doing better or not or which series is doing better or not. He added, So definitely we have numbers for Special Ops 2, Special ops 2 to 1.5 and of other series also and we know the numbers are much bigger than probably the biggest of the films in India and that's why you know they made into seasons. Numbers are definitely more visible in theatrical but they're not invisible in OTT. I think this is a misconception, he said. The actor also argued that the Hindi film industry needs to reconsider how it allocates budgets, particularly when it comes to star remuneration. The filmmakers have really gotten smarter with where they should spend. I think where the industry still overspends is like, succumbing to attaching too much to star power and only thinking that only stars will be able to deliver big hits, he said. Ibrahim cited Uri: The Surgical Strike as an example of a film that demonstrated the potential of strong content and execution. He pointed out that Vicky Kaushal was comparatively less established before the film and that director Aditya Dhar was also making his debut. A very fine example of this was Uri, where the action was mounted in such a big scale and relatively a lesser known actor or a star like Vicky Kaushal was helming it. I think anybody could have helmed that same role and could have delivered the same result because the content and the way it was done, it was so amazing. I remember Vicky was relatively very unknown before Uri. I think it was Aditya Dhar's debut too. But the team, the production, they made sure that they do it the right way. And because it was done with the right way, the way probably it would have been done with the star had there been a star in it, but they went all out in it and delivered, he explained. On whether audiences come to theatres for stars or stories, Ibrahim said both factors matter, but ultimately content plays an important role in sustaining audience interest. I think the audience comes to the theatre both for the content and for the star but in both the scenarios if the content is good then definitely the public is going to turn up in theatre and for the star also, he said. If the star who is appearing in the film doesn't have good content then the footfall will start decreasing and people will stop coming to the theatre, he said. And also if these stars keep on delivering bad films eventually people will be put off and wont go to theatres any more or will watch their films at home. I know so many actors whose films people have sworn never to watch, Ibrahim added. While Ibrahim has remained active through OTT, he is now looking forward to his next major theatrical project. Speaking about the opportunity, he said the experience could open new doors for him. I think a lot of people, it changed the demeanor - lot of change in the demeanor. As it goes around new opportunities are going to happen and lot of doors that are going to open. I am really excited to be a part of the biggest films on Indian screens with such actions. It is also a very important film for Salman sir, so excited to be a part of it. Let's see what happens and people who already know about it are creating a buzz, he said.

Kunal Kemmu reveals how Vanshika Dhir was cast in his action-comedy: Vanshika hadn't auditioned
The trailer of Kunal Kemmus upcoming action-comedy has introduced audiences to a mix of high-stakes action, humour, chaos and unexpected twists. While Kemmu leads the project and has also written and directed it, the film features Preity G Zinta, Sparsh Shrivastava and debutant Vanshika Dhir in key roles. Interestingly, Dhirs casting came about through an audition that was originally meant for another project. Kunal Kemmu recently opened up about the casting process and revealed that Vanshika Dhir had not initially auditioned for his film. He noticed her while she was auditioning for another project and was looking for an actor who could naturally deliver Hindi with a particular accent. According to Kemmu, what stood out was Dhirs ability to switch between accented and unaccented Hindi convincingly. Revealing how the casting came together, Kunal said, Vanshika hadn't auditioned for my film but when Mukesh (Chhabra) who is doing the audition process was playing some others, I think she had auditioned for another film and I was looking for an actor who naturally had a bit of an accent but could speak Hindi also, some were putting an accent and couldn't speak Hindi without an accent but when I saw her mujhe laga ye sirf Hindi karti hai (that she does only Hindi) so I asked her about and asked Mukesh to audition her for my film so that really worked. When I met her, I remember she spoke shudh Hindi and then spoke Hindi without an accent, mujhe laga ye gadbad ho gayi (I thought this was messed up), so then I asked her and she put on that accent very well. Thats how it started and when we rehearsed, she really fit my character well. The casting process eventually led to Dhir joining the film alongside Kemmu, Preity G Zinta and Sparsh Shrivastava. For the filmmaker, her ability to adapt her speech and fit naturally into the character became an important factor in finalising her casting. Her role also marks a significant opportunity as she makes her acting debut with the project. The newly released trailer offers a glimpse into the action-comedys world, which combines intense situations with comic moments. The project is written and directed by Kunal Kemmu and produced by Kemmu and Chirag Nihalani under the banner of Drongo Films. The film marks another directorial outing for Kemmu following his earlier work behind the camera. The action-comedy is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on September 18. With the trailer now giving audiences a closer look at the characters and the chaotic situations they encounter, the casting story behind Dhir adds another interesting detail to the project ahead of its theatrical release.

Britains Ukraine Arms Surge: Missiles, Drones And Secret Tech As Trump Seeks Ceasefire
Britain has announced a 100-million military package intended to strengthen Ukraines air defences before winter. It includes interceptors, Patriot support, artillery ammunition and unmanned systems. London has separately promised more than 120,000 drones during 2026, although only around 25,000 have been delivered so far. Britain has also authorised MBDA to share classified information concerning British-made components used in Frances SCALP cruise missile programme. The commitments come as Britain and Donald Trump publicly pursue a ceasefire. Moscow argues that transferring weapons and production knowledge makes NATO governments increasingly direct participants in the conflict. London rejects that accusation and says Ukraine has the right to defend itself.
Canadas Revenge on Trump: Ontario Tariffs Take Effect, 50% Hit On U.S. Electronics, Steel
Canada has fired back in the US-Canada trade war and the new tariffs are hitting American goods today. Ottawa has imposed retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on $20 billion worth of US imports, targeting American steel, aluminum, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, electronics and other products.The move comes after Donald Trump imposed sweeping 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, pushing trade tensions between the two North American allies to a new level. The dispute is now spreading beyond tariffs, with Trump threatening to block Bombardier aircraft sales in the United States unless the Canadian company moves production south of the border. As Mark Carney's government pushes back against Washington, failed trade talks and escalating political tensions are raising a bigger question: How far will the US-Canada trade war go, and who will pay the price?
Armenia To Philippines, India's Pralay Missile Becomes Hottest Buy After BrahMos In Global Market
India has already exported BrahMos to the Philippines. Now Manila is reportedly showing interest in another Indian weapon: the Pralay missile system. The reported interest is early and no final contract has been announced. Pralay is a road-mobile, conventional quasi-ballistic missile designed for fast and precise strikes. This video explains how Pralay differs from BrahMos, why the Philippines wants stronger deterrence in the South China Sea, and how Armenias reported interest points to a wider Indian defence export push. It also examines the limits: export rules, range, training, targeting networks and long-term support. For India, the story is about moving from major arms importer to credible missile exporter. For Manila, it is about adding land-attack capability after buying coastal BrahMos batteries. It is also a strategic test for Indias defence industry. Watch the full report on Indias missile diplomacy, defence industry and growing strategic reach across the Indo-Pacific today.
