Param Sundari trailer: UAE creators react as Bollywood stereotypes Keralites yet again
Bollywood has come under fire yet again for a stereotypical representation, as Param Sundari, starring Siddharth Malhotra and Jahnvi Kapoor, dropped its trailer. The trailer showcases what seems to be a typical love story — one that crosses borders in a South Indian girl, North Indian guy narrative. Forty seconds into the trailer, and the stereotypes begin. If you didn't know any better, you may think Bollywood was trying to rage-bait its viewers (this might still be a possibility). Many commenters also drew parallels of the poor representation, with the character Shalini Unnikrishnan in The Kerala Story. Janhvi introduces herself as Thekappatil Sundari Damodaran Pillai - a long-winded name, which couples the place with the name of the person. Such names that begin with the place marks an era that ended with our grandparents' generation. But Bollywood seems to be still stuck in those times. As Sundari introduces herself, she is seen dancing Mohiniyattam, a classical Indian dance originating from Kerala. A montage of boat racing, climbing coconut trees, and Param (Siddharth's character) learning Kalaripayattu (a Kerala-origin martial art) is what follows. While these are popular in Kerala, the trailer seems to suggest Malayalees are always doing one of these activities at any given time. But while these can perhaps be forgiven, what really hurts is Sundari's random insertion of the Malayalam term Manunni (which roughly translates to a naive person, depending on the context). The trailer ends in what seems to be, ironically, an attempt to correct stereotypes. Sundari is seen explaining the difference between South Indian states by mentioning their languages and a famous actor of each state. After explaining that every South Indian is not Madrasi, she goes on to speak a sentence in what is supposed to be Malayalam; no matter how many times it was replayed, this writer could not make head or tail of it, and nor could several other Malayalee creators. Noora Al Helali, an Emirati creator famous for speaking Malayalam fluently along with her sister, called out the lack of effort on the part of the movie crew to learn the language. She acknowledged that while there are words that are difficult to pronounce for those not native to Kerala, the cast could have sat down with a dubbing artist for a better command of Malayalam, or to fix certain phrases. Ahmed AlKaashekh, a UAE-based influencer who hails from Kerala, called on Bollywood to do better if they are attempting to showcase diverse cultures. "It is 2025, and we are done with the lungi dance, the mullapoo (jasmine flowers), the Rajnikanth references." Pavithra Menon, a singer and television presenter from Kerala, questioned why the makers of such movies refuse to cast an actual Malayalee actress who has a strong command of the language. There also seems to be censorship of backlash against Param Sundari, which is landing in theatres on August 29. Menon reuploaded her video after the original rant was removed by Instagram.

Sheikh Hamdan shares glorious photos from purple heather fields on shooting holiday in UK
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, has shared photos of himself on his annual grouse hunting in Yorkshire, England. Shared across two posts, Sheikh Hamdan captioned the posts with hashtags, which read "#yorkshire #grouse #hunting". He posted the photos on Saturday, just days after August 12, which is known as the Glorious Twelfth and traditionally marks the start of red grouse shooting season in the UK. Dressed for mild British weather, he wore blue and green checked shirts in the images, with protective clothing, including ear defenders and glasses. In one image, he shared a close-up of his rifle, and can be seen wearing both a Whoop and an Apple Watch. In many photos, he can be seen surrounded by vibrant purple heather. Sheikh Hamdan has shared photos of himself and his family, spending time in England most summers. Last year, he posted a photo of himself shopping at UK supermarket, Tesco, with two of his children. 'Family grocery shopping,' he captioned the image of himself pushing the trolley. From the image, it is not clear which part of the UK they were shopping in. In 2023, he shared photos from Yorkshire with his eldest children, twins Sheikh Rashid and Sheikha Shaikha, in tow. In one image, photographed from behind, he is shown holding his children's hands, with the scenic Yorkshire countryside surrounding them. He was on a similar trip in the UK the year before, along with his father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai. This summer, Sheikh Mohammed also spent time in England. He has been spotted in London, visiting luxury department store Harrods, where he stopped by Somewhere Cafe. Founded by Emirati entrepreneur Amal Al Marri and Saudi businesswoman Deem Al Bassam, the cafe has built a following overseas, and his visit highlighted its growing international presence. The cafe opened its London outpost in December.

Shah Rukh Khan shares health update, confirms work on 'King' will resume soon
Shah Rukh Khan was last seen on the big screens in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki. While the superstar had lined up his next big project, King, directed by Siddharth Anand, filming came to a halt recently after Khan injured his arm. Fans, who have been eagerly waiting for updates, finally got one directly from the actor himself. On Saturday, Shah Rukh hosted an #AskSRK session on Twitter (now X), where a fan asked about his upcoming projects. Responding to the question, the actor confirmed that work on King is very much on track. 'Did some good shoot….starting soon again. Only leg shots, then move to the upper body….Insha Allah will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish,' Khan wrote, adding that he is currently undergoing physiotherapy for his shoulder. Filming had been paused last month due to Shah Rukh's injury. The AMA session wasn't just about King. The actor also reflected on his recent National Award win for Best Actor, which he earned for his powerhouse performance in Jawan (2023). He further spoke about his son Aryan Khan's upcoming directorial debut, Ba **ds of Bollywood, a Netflix series backed by Red Chillies Entertainment. The first look of the series was unveiled on August 17.
