The makers of director Mari Selvaraj’s eagerly awaited sports drama ‘Bison Kaalamaadan,’ featuring actor Dhruv Vikram in the lead role, have unveiled the track ‘Kaalamaadan Gaanam.’ This release has generated excitement among fans and film enthusiasts.

About the Song

The song is an upbeat folk number, with lyrics penned by director Mari Selvaraj and set to music by Nivas K Prasanna. V.M. Mahalingam has rendered the track beautifully.

The song begins with a poem by Mari Selvaraj that translates to English as follows: “Innumerable unanswerable questions fenced me and arose around as a tall wall. Violently I dashed my head against it. As I dashed on and on ferociously, piercing through the flesh, horns sprout out. As the innocents near me with tears, as the strong oppose me with swords, from within me soars a Kaalamaadan.”

Film Release Information

The film has received a U/A certificate from the censor board and is set to hit screens on October 17 this year. The first look of ‘Bison’ was released in March.

He expressed, “After years of preparation, several months of filming, shedding blood, sweat, and tears, it’s finally a wrap on ‘BISON’.

The post captured the hearts of fans and drew affectionate reactions from both his mother, Malaika Arora, and stepmother, Sshura Khan, who left heartfelt comments.

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s eagerly awaited magnum opus ‘Vrusshabha’ is now set to hit screens on November 6 this year, as announced by its makers.

Exciting Announcement from Mohanlal

Taking to his X timeline, Mohanlal expressed his excitement, stating, “The ground shakes. The sky burns. Destiny has chosen its warrior. #Vrusshabha arrives on 6th November! #RoarOfVrusshabha #VrusshabhaOn6thNovember.”

Originally, the film was scheduled for an October 16 release.

First Look Generates Buzz

Mohanlal’s first look poster from the film caused a stir when it was revealed to celebrate his birthday earlier this year. In the poster, he appears as a fierce warrior clad in intricately detailed golden-brown armor adorned with dragon-scale patterns. With long hair, a thick beard, and a white tilak, he embodies an intimidating warrior king, enhanced further with traditional ornaments and a nose ring.

He shared the look on social media, captioning it, “This one is special — dedicating it to all my fans. The wait ends. The storm awakens. With pride and power, I unveil the first look of VRUSSHABHA – a tale that will ignite your soul and echo through time.”

Revealing that sharing the first look on his birthday added to its significance, he said, “Unveiling this on my birthday makes it all the more meaningful – your love has always been my greatest strength. #Vrusshabha in cinemas on 16th October, 2025.” However, the release has now been shifted to November 6.

A Collaboratively Crafted Epic

The much-anticipated drama has been penned and directed by filmmaker Nanda Kishore. Presented by Connekkt Media in collaboration with Balaji Telefilms, ‘Vrusshabha’ has been shot simultaneously in both Malayalam and Telugu.

Jointly backed by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, CK Padma Kumar, Varun Mathur, Saurabh Mishra, Abhishek S Vyas, Vishal Gurnani, and Juhi Parekh Mehta, the movie will reach audiences in five languages — Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada.

Human beings have always evolved alongside technology, a sentiment echoed by George Miller, the director of ‘Mad Max’.

While many in Hollywood express concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence, particularly with the emergence of AI actress Tilly Norwood, George compares its influence to that of the Renaissance movement on painting. In a conversation with ‘The Guardian’ prior to leading a jury at the Omni AI Film Festival in Australia, Miller mentioned that the debate surrounding AI “echoes earlier moments in art history,” especially during the Renaissance when oil painting allowed artists the freedom to revise and enhance their work over time.

“This shift sparked controversy; some argued that true artists should commit to the canvas without corrections, while others embraced this new flexibility,” Miller observed. He added that a similar debate arose in the mid-19th century with the advent of photography, stating, “Art has to evolve. While photography became its own form, painting continued. Both changed, but both endured. Art changed.”

Miller advocates for AI, describing it as “way more egalitarian.” He expressed, “It will make screen storytelling accessible to anyone with a calling for it. I know kids not yet in their teens using AI. They don’t have to raise money; they’re making films—or at least putting footage together.”

As reported by ‘Variety’, Miller views artificial intelligence as “the most dynamically evolving tool in creating moving images.”

“As a filmmaker, I’ve always been driven by the tools. AI is here to stay and will change things,” he explained, noting that “the balance between human creativity and machine capability is what the debate and the anxiety are about.”

However, Miller believes that AI is not a threat, as it cannot replicate the “human essence.” Reflecting on a past discussion with filmmakers regarding the 2015 British documentary ‘Listen to Me Marlon,’ which recreated Marlon Brando in 3D using software, Miller expressed skepticism about AI’s ability to replace or faithfully revive actors due to the unique nature of human performance.

Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston, famously known for her role as Rachel Green in the iconic American sitcom ‘Friends’, has candidly discussed her health struggles that spanned over two decades.

The actress revealed that she spent 20 years secretly trying to conceive a child. At 56, she has condemned the “false narrative” suggesting she chose not to have children because she is a “workaholic.”

In an interview featured in the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, she expressed, “They didn’t know my story, or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family, because I don’t go out there and tell them my medical woes.”

Aniston further elaborated, “That’s not anybody’s business. But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it, the narrative about how I won’t have a baby, won’t have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic. It does affect me – I’m just a human being. We’re all human beings. That’s why I thought, ‘What the hell?’”

She decided to speak about her unsuccessful IVF treatment to support others in similar situations. “I knew a lot of women at the time who were trying to have kids, who were dealing with IVF. So it did feel like it was not only for myself, but for any women who were struggling with the same issue,” she explained.

Despite feeling hurt by rumors regarding her personal life over the years, the star of The Morning Show has largely chosen to let nature run its course. “The older I get, the less I care about correcting a narrative, because it will happen eventually. The news cycle is so fast, it just goes away. Of course, there are times when I feel that sense of justice, when something has been said that isn’t true and I need to right the wrong. And then I think, do I really? My family knows my truth, my friends know my truth.”

In 2022, Jennifer disclosed that she had undergone unsuccessful IVF treatment and expressed regret for not freezing her eggs earlier.

Saba Ali Khan Pataudi, sister of Bollywood superstar Saif Ali Khan and aunt to actor Ibrahim Ali Khan, recently made headlines by sharing a birthday post for actress Palak Tiwari, who has long been rumored to be dating Ibrahim.

Shortly after it was posted, the message was deleted, piquing the curiosity of fans and followers. Saba shared a picture of Palak, accompanied by a heartfelt caption, “Happiest birthday filled with love and blessings,” while tagging her in the post.

The picture showcased Palak in a trendy outfit, smiling warmly at the camera. This seemingly affectionate gesture from Ibrahim’s aunt added more fuel to the ongoing speculation surrounding Palak’s relationship with Ibrahim. They have been at the center of dating rumors for quite some time now.

The pair is often seen together at various parties, industry events, and film premieres, but neither has publicly confirmed their relationship. The buzz intensified earlier this year when Palak was spotted with Ibrahim and his sister, Sara Ali Khan, at the premiere of Ibrahim’s film. Observers noted how Palak seemed to share a close rapport with the Khan siblings, subtly suggesting the depth of her bond with Ibrahim.

Saba Ali Khan, known for sharing warm family moments on social media, rarely comments on the personal lives of her nephew or niece. Therefore, her now-deleted birthday wish for Palak has attracted significant attention from both fans and gossip circles.

Palak Tiwari, the daughter of television celebrity Shweta Tiwari, made her Bollywood debut in “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan” opposite Salman Khan. Ibrahim Ali Khan also marked his entry into films with Karan Johar’s OTT movie, “Nadaniyaan,” sharing the screen with actress Khushi Kapoor.

Hollywood actress and singer Halle Bailey is ready to delight her fans with an exciting new venture. She has announced that her debut solo album will be released later this month. At just 25 years old, Halle has shared her plans for this significant milestone in her career.

Rising to fame as part of the Chloe x Halle duo alongside her sister Chloe Bailey, Halle recently confirmed that her album titled ‘Love? Or Something Like It’ will launch on October 24. Taking to Instagram, she wrote, “Love? or something like it, my debut album. A story of first love, heartbreak, and everything that comes after. out 10/24. this one means everything to me. (sic).”

In a video shared with her followers, Halle captivates in a striking red tulle dress as she begins to narrate her story. She reflects, saying, “Once upon a time, there was a young girl that believed in love. She believed everyone belonged to someone, soul for soul. All she ever wanted in life was to find the truest form of love. Was it ever possible? And here’s what happened.”

Earlier this year, Halle released several solo singles including Braveface and Back and Forth. She also collaborated with Leon Thomas on Rather Be Alone featured on the deluxe edition of his album, Mutt LP. Together with her sister Chloe, they released The Kids Are Alright in 2018, followed by Ungodly Hour two years later. While Chloe has successfully launched two solo albums—2023’s In Pieces and the upcoming Trouble In Paradise—Halle has expressed that they are not finished making music together.

Excited about working on separate projects, Halle mentioned, “My sister and I are very, very excited to work on our new album together, as well as just let these amazing solo projects come out for both of us.”

The Bailey sisters continue to be each other’s biggest supporters, fostering a close bond both personally and professionally.

Actor-producer Harman Baweja recently shared insights about casting Arshad Warsi as a cop in his upcoming film “Bhagwat: Chapter 1 – Raakshas.”

Arshad Warsi’s Versatility

Baweja emphasized that Arshad’s versatility and natural screen presence made him an ideal choice for the role. He stated, “There’s Arshad Warsi, a powerhouse who brings grit, charm, and nuance to Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat. With Arshad leading the investigation and Jitendra flipping the good-guy image, we knew the dynamic between them would be electrifying. The chemistry, tension, and unpredictability they bring were central to the story we wanted to tell. What it takes for the law to prevail through Arshad’s character is what makes the story so thrilling and compelling.”

Jitendra Kumar’s Bold Casting

Discussing the decision to cast Jitendra Kumar, Baweja remarked, “Bringing Jitendra on board was definitely a bold move, but one I’m thrilled about. He has such a strong bond with audiences through his relatable and likable characters, making his screen persona almost inseparable from the roles he plays. Mention Jeetu, and people immediately picture him as the dependable, good-hearted guy handling someone else’s chaos.”

He added, “That familiarity is exactly what made it exciting to cast him in a completely unexpected role. He’s such a talented actor that you believe him in anything he does — and in Bhagwat, he challenges that perception. Even the teaser hints at the unpredictability and depth he brings to the character.”

Film Details

Directed by Akshay Shere and written by Bhavini Bheda and Sumit Saxena, “Bhagwat: Chapter 1 – Raakshas” features Arshad Warsi, Jitendra Kumar, and Ayesha Kaduskar. Produced under Harman Baweja’s banner, Baweja Studio, the film centers around Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat, portrayed by Arshad Warsi, a seasoned and emotionally nuanced police officer who is transferred to the quiet town of Robertsganj in Uttar Pradesh.

“Bhagwat: Chapter 1 – Raakshas” is set to release on October 17, 2025, coinciding with Diwali.

Pop icon Taylor Swift recently shared a humorous story about her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and a funny mix-up involving celebrity names. During the Eras Tour, Kelce mistakenly confused the names of Hugh Grant’s wife and Greta Gerwig.

The 14-time Grammy-winning singer recounted this lighthearted moment when her fiancé thought that Anna Eberstein, Grant’s wife, was actually the director of ‘Barbie,’ Greta Gerwig, as reported by ‘People’ magazine.

In June 2024, Grant attended the second Eras Tour date in London, where he met Kelce in the VIP tent. Swift made this amusing revelation on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers.’ According to her, Kelce met Eberstein and congratulated her on Gerwig’s film, saying, “I’m just Ken” while playfully pointing at Swift. He didn’t realize he was speaking with Grant’s confused wife until after the show.

After the tent party, Kelce excitedly told Swift about meeting all these celebrities, including Grant, yet he didn’t mention Gerwig, which puzzled Swift. She speculated that perhaps Gerwig was tired of the “I’m just Ken” joke after hearing it so many times.

Kelce explained that he had observed Gerwig and Grant dancing closely all night, leading him to believe they might be collaborating on a project together. “They kind of seem like they’re like soulmates,” Swift recalled him saying, to which she playfully replied, “The tea is crazy tonight, Travis.”

Meanwhile, Kelce mentioned to Swift that he had a fantastic time dancing with family. Later, when Swift saw videos of him dancing with Gerwig, she informed him that it looked like she enjoyed the joke after all.

The dialogue hints at a storyline centered around a boy unafraid to take on the challenges of the world while defending his choices. The film appears to strike a balance between humor and a deeper exploration of contemporary youth mindset.

For example, Mamitha Baiju’s character asks Pradeep, “You keep getting into fights. Tell me, can you bash up 10 people if they turn up?” His confident reply, “Even if it’s 100 men, I can take blows,” showcases his fearless attitude.
