  Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi has come forward to address the swirling rumours that he has quit the film industry — and he’s made it crystal clear: “Not at all true.”   🎬 Background Sooraj Pancholi, son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, made his acting debut in 2015 with the film Hero, produced by and starring Salman Khan. After that, he appeared in Satellite Shankar (2019) and more recently in Kesari Veer (2025).  His career has not been without struggle.

 In the ever-shifting world of digital trends, one of the most eye-catching lately is the so-called Nano Banana —an image-editing mode within Google Gemini that has taken Indian social media by storm. It’s not just a new filter—it’s a full-on re-imagination of self-portraiture through the lens of retro Bollywood aesthetics, and it’s emblematic of how AI is now deeply intertwined with cultural nostalgia, identity and creative expression. What is “Nano Banana”? Nano Banana is the nickname for Google’s image-editing AI model (officially part of Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) that allows users to upload a selfie and, via prompt instructions, turn it into something entirely stylised—whether a 3D figurine, anime-style avatar, or a dramatic vintage portrait.  What’s noteworthy: the tool emphasises consistency (keeping the facial features of the original selfie), style transfer (applying a particular era aesthetic or costume), and creative prompt input (user writes what they want: fab...

Introduction When a name like Aryan Khan enters the director’s chair, expectations inevitably skyrocket. Yet with The Bastards of Bollywood , he didn’t simply rest on familial legacy — he aimed at something sharper: a satirical, self-aware dissection of the Indian film industry. The show has been lauded for its fresh direction, bold tone, and strong craft, marking a noteworthy debut for the young filmmaker. What Is The Series About? The show follows Aasmaan Singh (played by Lakshya Lalwani), a raw outsider who enters the glitzy yet ruthless world of Bollywood, lands a big debut, and discovers that fame is far more complicated than he imagined.  As he navigates contracts, star tantrums, leaks, back-stabbing producers, and the overshadowing presence of “insiders”, the series becomes both an insider’s look at the industry and a biting commentary on it.  Key themes include nepotism, the price of fame, the outsider vs insider dynamic, and the illusions of glamour. ...

The film, which released on October 2, 2025 , continues to draw audiences weeks after its debut, marking another triumph for content-driven cinema in an industry often dominated by big-budget spectacles and star power. A Powerful Follow-Up to a Cultural Phenomenon Chapter 1 serves as both a prequel and spiritual successor to the 2022 sleeper hit Kantara , which became a cultural landmark with its rooted storytelling and exploration of divine folklore from the coastal belt of Karnataka.

 As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become increasingly capable of creating, transforming, and distributing media content, a major cross-industry coalition is urging India's government to tighten copyright protections to prevent misuse of creative works. In what could become a landmark moment for creators’ rights, Hollywood studios and Bollywood producers are aligning to request legal reform that better regulates how AI firms use copyrighted material. What’s Happening The Motion Picture Association (MPA) — representing major Hollywood studios like Warner Bros, Paramount, and Netflix — together with the Producers Guild of India , have formally lobbied a government panel to prevent AI companies from freely using copyrighted content (trailers, promos, clips, etc.) to train their models.  They argue that current Indian copyright law, which was last broadly updated in 2012, does not explicitly address the use of copyrighted works in AI training.  Rather than al...
