Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has spoken about his shelved film based on the Battle of Saragarhi and alleged that Karan Johar and Akshay Kumars Kesari affected the prospects of his project. Santoshi claimed that his film, which featured Randeep Hooda in the lead, was already being made when Kesari was announced and eventually released on the same historical subject. Talking about his vision for the project, Santoshi said he wanted to make an authentic and realistic film. We wanted to make an honest and real film. We had an audition, real Sardars. The people who had not touched the blood had auditioned them. We had them ready. We had a shoot in the 20 days, in Ganga Nagar, in Rajasthan. Santoshi also praised Randeep Hooda for his dedication to the role and his transformation for the film. He said, Randeep Hooda is a great actor, a great man. He had completely become a Sardar after growing a beard. The filmmaker then addressed the making of Kesari, which starred Akshay Kumar and was produced by Karan Johar. Santoshi said he felt the makers should have approached him before making a film on the same subject, especially since his project was already in production. He said, In the industry, they have made Kesari. Karan Johar and Akshay Kumar made it. At least, they should have asked us. The industry is one family. Santoshi further claimed that the release of Kesari affected his films prospects with OTT and satellite platforms. According to him, people from these platforms who had been discussing his project backed out because they preferred to work with a major producer and a major star. He explained, When they made Kesari, the OTT and satellite and digital people, whom we were talking to, backed out. Because Akshay Kumar is a very big star and Karan Johar is a very big producer. They knew that they would make a film quickly and release it, so our business would not work. Santoshi alleged that this eventually left his project stuck despite having already completed 20 days of shooting. So, my picture, it got stuck. After 20 days of shooting, the picture was shut down, he said. His remarks shed light on the challenges faced by filmmakers when two projects based on the same historical event are developed simultaneously, particularly when one involves a major Bollywood star and a leading production house.

South Africa targets 1L Indian tourist arrivals
Jaipur, South Africa is targeting 1 lakh Indian tourist arrivals in 2026, with a growing focus on younger and experience-seeking travellers, South African Tourism Chief Operating Officer Ismail Dockrat has said.He also said that Rajasthan is emerging as an important market for South Africa, and that there is a scope for industry collaboration between the two destinations.India is one of our most important growth markets, and our target for 2026 is to reach 100,000 Indian arrivals, which would bring us back to around our pre-pandemic levels, Dockrat, who was in Jaipur to attend the recently held BRICS Tourism Working Group meeting, told PTI.Also Read| South Africa adds R500 processing fee to ETA system; heres what travellers will paySouth Africa received close to 70,000 Indian visitors in 2025.Dockrat said the aim over the next three years is to build sustained growth beyond the 1 lakh mark, with visa facilitation and air connectivity remaining key priorities.He said the profile of Indian travellers is changing significantly and there is an increasing interest in luxury, adventure, experiential travel, destination weddings and youth travel.The Indian traveller is becoming far more diverse and experience-led.While families and group travel remain important, we are seeing growing interest in luxury and experiential travel, adventure, multi-generational holidays, destination weddings, incentives and youth travel, he said.Those travellers are seeking experiences that are immersive and personal, whether that is adventure, food and wine, culture, self-drive journeys or unique wildlife experiences, Dockrat added.He said while Cape Town and Johannesburg will always remain important gateways, the South Africa Tourism was looking to encourage Indian travellers to discover the wider diversity of South Africa.Also Read| South Africa launches ETA: Indians can now get digital travel approval in 24-48 hoursWe see strong potential in destinations and experiences such as the Winelands, the Garden Route, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, along with our coastal experiences, culinary journeys, cultural heritage and adventure offerings.A traveller who comes to Cape Town can explore the Winelands or continue along the Garden Route. Similarly, a wildlife itinerary can be combined with culture, adventure and premium experiences, he said.He said there is a scope for industry collaboration between the tourist destinations of Rajasthan and South Africa.Rajasthan and South Africa have some very interesting synergies, particularly around heritage, luxury, wildlife, weddings and experiential travel. Both destinations appeal to travellers looking for distinctive and immersive experiences, Dockrat said.For us, Rajasthan is also an important emerging market because of its growing base of affluent and experience-led travellers, he added.Dockrat said accessibility, particularly visas and air connectivity, is the biggest priority for accelerating Indian arrivals.South Africa has introduced the Trusted Tour Operator Scheme and is moving towards a more digital visa process through the Electronic Travel Authorisation system. Air connectivity is a significant priority for us, and direct connectivity between South Africa and India is very much on our radar, Dockrat said, adding South African Tourism is working with airline partners and stakeholders to strengthen connectivity.The tourism body is also widening its focus beyond traditional markets such as Mumbai and Delhi to cities, including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai, through India-specific marketing, trade engagement, cooperative campaigns, training programmes and roadshows.Dockrat said that 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, to be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, could become one of the country's biggest tourism opportunities from India.Cricket has an emotional connection with Indian audiences that few other events can match, and a World Cup provides a strong reason to travel, he said.The strategy is to turn match-driven visits into longer holidays covering wildlife, Winelands, coastlines, food, culture and adventure.South Africa is also promoting destinations beyond Cape Town and Johannesburg, including the Garden Route, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.On safety concerns, Dockrat said visitors should use reputable operators, plan responsibly and follow local guidance, while describing South Africa as a warm, diverse and welcoming destination.On BRICS tourism cooperation, he said its practical value would lie in reducing travel friction rather than merely increasing promotion.The real value of BRICS tourism cooperation will be in making travel easier in practical terms, Dockrat said, citing potential cooperation on air connectivity, tourism investment and business and MICE travel.He said a common BRICS tourist visa could be a long-term possibility.However, he said, visa policy is the responsibility of individual governments and immigration authorities.

'We Need Players Like Him To Play All Formats': Dravid On Sooryavanshi
European T20 Premier League: Former India captain Rahul Dravid believes the game needs players like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to develop into all-format cricketers, while stressing the importance of giving the 15-year-old enough time and exposure to red-ball cricket. Sooryavanshi, who has already made an impact in white-ball cricket, is set to feature for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy as he looks to gain more experience in the longer format. Dravid, who coached Sooryavanshi at Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, said the youngsters development needs to be carefully managed, with a balance between white-ball opportunities and red-ball cricket. I think you always have to find that balance. And I think its a great thing that Vaibhav is getting the experience of playing some white-ball cricket through the IPL in India, but hes also having the time to go back and play red-ball cricket in the Indian domestic system and grow his red-ball career, Dravid told Cricinfo at an event in Dublin to unveil the European T20 Premier League (ETPL). All of us also want to see Test cricket survive, all of us want to see Test cricket grow, and we need players like him to be able to hopefully play all formats of the game, he added. Sooryavanshi has played only eight first-class matches so far, averaging 17.25, and Dravid believes the youngster needs a consistent run in the format to develop his red-ball skills. The good thing is hes going to take some time, hes going to need some experience, hes going to get an opportunity to play a lot of red-ball cricket. Hes not played as much red-ball cricket as probably white-ball cricket, Dravid said. Hes only 15, and I think youve got to just give him some time and youve got to be patient with him. Hes obviously been such a success straightaway, but hes going to go through his ups and downs, and I think people are going to have to be patient with him, he added. The Duleep Trophy could provide Sooryavanshi with at least two consecutive first-class matches, while a third could come if East Zone reach the final. He may also get further red-ball opportunities when India A host Australia A in two unofficial Tests in September. Dravid also believes Sooryavanshis decision to continue playing domestic red-ball cricket rather than chasing T20 opportunities around the world will benefit his long-term development. I think hes going to have some success, but he also might have periods where it probably doesnt work out well for him. But lets all remember hes only 15 and he has a long way to go, he said. So Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, by not playing in T20 competitions all over the world, is actually playing in the red-ball Indian domestic competition. Hes growing, hes getting better at red-ball skills. I think hes going to have some success, but he also might have periods where it probably doesnt work out well for him. But lets all remember hes only 15 and he has a long way to go, he said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Hopefully, someday if he does well and performs well as he has in white-ball cricket, he might become a red-ball player for India. And how exciting that would be for the world game as well, he said. Article Source: IANS

Vande Mataram never embraced wholeheartedly by Opposition after Independence: Amit Shah
New Delhi, Aug 21: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah today inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for various projects of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) in Siliguri, West Bengal, and interacted with the personnel. On the occasion, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, Darjeeling Lok Sabha MP Raju Bista, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Intelligence Bureau (IB) Director Mahesh Dixit, Secretary, Border Management, Dr. Rajendra Kumar, and SSB Director General Sanjay Singhal, among several other senior officers, were present. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that the occasion of the country's 80th Independence Day on August 15th was very special. He said that, for the first time, after completing 150 years since the composition of the national song Vande Mataram and 80 years of the countrys independence, the entire rendition of Vande Mataram was heard by the people of the country and the entire world from the ramparts of the Red Fort. He said that Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyays immortal composition Vande Mataram not only gave momentum to our freedom movement but also gave it a vision of what independent India should be like. Shah said that Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyays composition made it clear that independent India must move forward by embracing cultural nationalism. Union Home Minister said that even after the country was partitioned at the time of Independence, Vande Mataram was never wholeheartedly accepted by the main opposition party. Keeping public sentiments in mind, Vande Mataram was sung in the Parliament and everyone would stand, but it was saddening to see that the entire song was not sung. He said that the Ministry of Home Affairs recently got a Bill passed by the Parliament and decided to make the complete rendition of Vande Mataram a part of government programmes, which is a historic step. This will ensure that future generations, including our children and youth, receive the immortal message of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay Ji. He said that if the complete Vande Mataram is sung every day in schools, children will certainly be imbued with a strong sense of patriotism. Amit Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced the Saptadharathe seven streams of strength that will empower the nation. He said that the Prime Minister has called upon the youth of the country to connect with seven key streamsmanufacturing power, defence strength, agriculture and food processing, green and blue economy, technology and innovation, Gati Shakti (Infrastructure), and Indias soft powerand participate in nation-building. He added that Prime Minister Modi has also set a target of achieving 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047 and launching eight new semiconductor plants over the next three years. He said that, on the strength of these seven streams, when India celebrates the centenary of its Independence, the country will be at the forefront in every field across the world. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the previous Chief Minister of West Bengal never attended the programmes of SSB and BSF. He said that SSB, BSF and ITBP are not agencies of any political party or government, but forces that protect the borders, and all political parties should stand with these personnel. Shah said that preventing infiltration and securing West Bengal and the country is our resolve, and fencing is the strongest measure for this. Praising West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, he said that ever since he assumed office, the Centre has received immediate and all possible cooperation from the state government for border security. Shah said that within just 45 days of the formation of the government in West Bengal, the Government of India received 1,139 acres of land for the BSF and SSB. He said that these were parcels of land that the Government of India had been seeking since 2014, but the previous government in Bengal had not provided them. He said that the people of West Bengal have elected a government that gives priority to national security. Amit Shah said that the foundation stone for the administrative building of SSBs Frontier Headquarters in Siliguri was laid today, which will be constructed over 80 acres. He informed that the foundation stone for the 19th Battalion in Thakurganj, the e-foundation stone for the 12th Battalion in Kishanganj, and the foundation stone for the Transit Camp at New Jalpaiguri were also laid today. Shah said that new projects worth a total of 189 crore have been initiated here today to provide administrative and residential facilities for SSB personnel. He further said that ever since he became the Home Minister, the requirements of the security forceswhether the SSB, BSF or Assam Rifleshave remained among the topmost priorities on the agenda of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that the SSB has a glorious history. From 1965 onwards, the SSB expanded its presence to Manipur, Jammu and Kashmir and Tripura, Meghalaya in 1975, Sikkim in 1976, Rajasthan and Gujarat in 1985, and Nagaland, Mizoram and South Bengal in 1989. He said that wherever the SSB was deployed, its personnel performed commendably and worked tirelessly, day and night, to ensure security. He said that after the Kargil War, when the One Border, One Force policy was adopted, the SSB was entrusted with the most challenging task of guarding the open borders with friendly neighbouring countries such as Nepal and Bhutan. Since 2001, the SSB has been deployed along the 1,751-kilometre-long India-Nepal border and, since 2004, along nearly 700 kilometres of the India-Bhutan border. He said that when a border is fenced, the responsibility of the force guarding it becomes somewhat easier. However, the SSB is tasked with monitoring unfenced borders, which is the most challenging assignment. He said that he often states that the personnel of the SSB have one of the most difficult responsibilities because they are deployed along open borders. Shah said that the entire country respects the SSB personnel for their coordination, dedication to safeguarding the nation, and contribution towards strengthening Indias cultural ties with both friendly neighbouring countries. Amit Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modis government has fully recognised the strategic importance of the Siliguri Corridor from the perspective of national security. He said that this highly sensitive and strategically important corridor connects eight states. Three international borderswith Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladeshadjoin the Siliguri Corridor, and its security is intrinsically linked to the security of the nation. Union Home Minister said that the Modi government has strengthened national security by securing the Siliguri Corridor through a triangular grid. He said that in this densely populated corridor, the government has increased its awareness, presence and dominance. He added that the security forces have participated in various operations and exercises from time to time, but one gap remained. He said that to fully strengthen and secure the Siliguri Corridor, agencies of the Government of India required 560 acres of land, which the previous government in West Bengal had not provided. He said that the Government of India commends West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari for granting in-principle approval for the allocation of 560 acres of land. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that security forces alone cannot ensure the security of any region. He said that increasing population, migration and tourism in an area helps strengthen our presence there. He said that the Delhi-Siliguri corridor is also included among the 7 high-speed rail corridors approved in the 2026-27 Budget, which will enable travel from Delhi to Siliguri in just a few hours within 2-3 years. He said that we have transformed the Siliguri and Jalpaiguri stations under the Amrit Bharat Scheme. Amit Shah said that through the Vibrant Villages Programme, we are not only connecting villages but also working to establish a strong emotional connect with the Indians living in these villages. He said that the scheme, with an expenditure of 6,839 crore, is of great significance for the Bangladesh and Bhutan borders. He said that the government will take forward its concept of safe, secure and vibrant land borders. He added that 190 crore has been invested here today to improve the facilities for our personnel and strengthen the countrys defence capabilities. This will provide comfort to the minds, bodies and spirits of the personnel and give them a better working environment. During his address Home Minister paid tribute to renowned Shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh on their death anniversaries. He said that Ustad Bismillah Khan played a significant role in taking Indian music to the global stage. He promoted ragas and raginis and worked to popularise Indias rich tradition of classical music. Speaking about former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh, the Home Minister said that during his tenure as Chief Minister, he made efforts to undertake the administrative reorganisation of the state for the first time and made a significant contribution to the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.
