Share

Gaza, July 22 (IANS) At least 14 Palestinians were killed, including six children and four women, while 36 others were injured in Israeli attacks in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis on Monday, the Gaza-based health authorities said.

The Nasser Medical Complex in the city has called on locals to “urgently donate blood, for the benefit of the wounded and sick inside the complex, given the severe and major shortage of blood units”, the health authorities said, Xinhua news agency reported.

Israeli warplanes launched an intensive bombardment on the eastern neighbourhoods of Khan Younis after the issuance of immediate evacuation orders. The eastern areas began to witness mass displacement towards the city’s west, especially Al-Mawasi, the Palestinian official news agency WAFA reported.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement on Monday morning that it “is about to forcefully operate against the terrorist organisations and therefore calls on the remaining population left in the eastern neighbourhoods of Khan Younis to temporarily evacuate to the adjusted Humanitarian Area in Al-Mawasi”.

“The calls for the temporary evacuation are being communicated to the residents through SMS, phone calls, and media broadcasts in Arabic,” it added.

On Sunday, the Gaza-based health authorities said the Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 38,983.

Tamil actor Vishal has recently voiced his concerns regarding the government’s handling of the film industry, particularly focusing on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) issues in Tamil Nadu. He urged Prime Minister Modi to take action to support the struggling film sector, which has faced numerous challenges, especially in the wake of the pandemic.

Vishal highlighted that the film industry is a significant part of Tamil Nadu’s culture and economy. He emphasized the need for government support to help filmmakers and artists thrive. His comments come ahead of the Union Budget 2024, where he hopes the government will address these pressing concerns and provide relief to the industry.

As the president of the Tamil Film Producers Council, Vishal is well aware of the difficulties faced by many in the industry. He believes that without proper support and a fair tax structure, the future of filmmaking in Tamil Nadu could be at risk. Vishal’s call for action reflects the sentiments of many in the film community who seek a more favorable environment for their work.

By bringing attention to these issues, Vishal aims to unite the film industry and encourage collective action. His advocacy for change not only highlights the importance of the arts but also serves as a reminder of the need for government accountability in supporting cultural sectors.

Vicky Kaushal: From Witnessing Smuggling to Bollywood Stardom

Share

Vicky Kaushal, a rising star in Bollywood, has carved a unique path for himself. Despite his initial association with Anurag Kashyap’s gritty, independent cinema, Kaushal has successfully transitioned into the mainstream, balancing commercial ventures with content-driven films. His versatility allows him to excel in intense dramas like “Sardar Udham” and lighthearted comedies like “Bad Newz.”

Kaushal’s recent promotional appearances shed light on a fascinating experience during his early days in the industry. Working as an assistant director on Anurag Kashyap’s “Gangs of Wasseypur,” he found himself unexpectedly close to the real-life underworld. In an interview with Tanmay Bhatt, Kaushal revealed a harrowing encounter during the filming of coal smuggling scenes.

“The coal smuggling that was shown in the film was real. We shot it,” Kaushal explained. He recounted a specific incident while capturing visuals of illegal sand mining. “We were shooting them secretly,” he said, “and some people came. There were 500 people surrounding us.” The sheer scale of the operation caught them off guard, highlighting the brazenness of the activity.

The situation escalated, placing Kaushal and the cameraman in immediate danger. Confused by the cameraman’s phone call, claiming equipment issues, one of the individuals involved slapped him, confiscated the camera, and threatened to destroy it. Facing physical assault, they managed to escape the situation unharmed.

Kaushal’s journey to stardom is well-documented. He rose to prominence with films like “Masaan,” “Raman Raghav 2.0,” and “Raazi,” showcasing his acting prowess. After establishing himself, he took on roles in commercially successful films like “URI: The Surgical Strike” and “Sam Bahadur.” Additionally, he delivered notable performances in supporting roles for “Sanju” and “Dunki.” His marriage to actress Katrina Kaif further cemented his position as a major Bollywood figure.

This anecdote underscores Kaushal’s dedication to his craft, even through unexpected challenges. His diverse filmography and adaptability suggest a long and successful career ahead.

Box Office Hit “Kalki 2898 AD” Faces Religious Controversy

Share

The science fiction film “Kalki 2898 AD,” starring Prabhas and directed by Nag Ashwin, has become a major commercial success, exceeding a box office collection of ₹1000 crores. The film’s innovative vision and Prabhas’s performance have been lauded by critics and audiences alike. However, a recent legal notice threatens to cast a shadow on this success story.

Acharya Pramod Krishnam, the spiritual leader of Shri Kalki Dham and holder of the title Kalki Peethadheeshwar, has filed a legal notice against the film’s producers. The notice alleges a misrepresentation of Hindu deities, particularly Lord Kalki, as depicted in sacred scriptures. Acharya Krishnam contends that the film’s portrayal deviates significantly from traditional Hindu beliefs, potentially causing offense to the religious sentiments of a vast number of Hindus.

The specific details of the disputed portrayal haven’t been publicly disclosed. However, Acharya Krishnam has demanded a response from the filmmakers within 15 days, presumably to address the alleged discrepancies and potentially offer an explanation or apology. Failure to comply, he warns, could lead to further legal action, both civil and criminal.

The filmmakers’ response to these accusations remains to be seen. This controversy has the potential to significantly impact the film’s legacy. While the box office numbers are impressive, a prolonged legal battle or accusations of religious insensitivity could tarnish the film’s image and limit its future distribution, particularly on online platforms.

This incident highlights the complex relationship between artistic expression and religious sensitivities in India. “Kalki 2898 AD” is a work of fiction, but its use of revered Hindu mythology places it on a delicate tightrope. The legal battle’s outcome will be closely watched, with implications for both the film industry and the ongoing discourse surrounding artistic freedom and religious respect.

Spoiler Alert: Nitin Zihani reveals interesting things about Supreme Yaskin

Share

“Kalki 2898 AD” has become the third Tollywood film to gross over Rs. 1000 crore, continuing its impressive box office run. Directed by the imaginative Nag Ashwin and starring the pan-Indian actor Prabhas, the movie remains a hit with audiences. Recent revelations by production designer Nitin Zihani Choudhary have added to the film’s buzz.

In a recent interview, Nitin Zihani clarified some aspects of the character Supreme Yaskin played by Kamal Haasan. Contrary to earlier beliefs, Yaskin is not the powerful Kali. Instead, he is one of the fallen gods responsible for managing a Complex in Kaasi. Nitin Zihani also disclosed that there are seven such Complexes worldwide, with others located in places like America and Africa, each guarded by powerful beings similar to Yaskin.

These updates provide significant spoilers for fans eagerly awaiting the sequel to “Kalki 2898 AD.” The new information has increased excitement for the movie and its extensive plot, showcasing the creative vision of director Nag Ashwin.

Kalki 2898 AD begins at the end of Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra War, marking the start of Kali Yuga in 3102 BC. Post-Mahabharata, Ashwatthama is tasked by Lord Krishna to protect his final avatar when the time comes.

Fast forward to 2898 AD, the world has become a dystopia under the rule of the self-proclaimed god, Supreme Yaskin. While many strive to gain favor in his land called Complex, others rebel against his tyranny. Amidst this, hope arises in the form of an unborn child in SUM-80, also known as Sumathi. With Yaskin and his followers aiming to extract the life source from the child, an epic tale unfolds, setting the stage for the rest of the film.
