How Mayur More left co-actors panicked with his prank on sets of ‘Black, White & Gray – Love Kills'
Mumbai: Actor Mayur More recently gave his co-stars quite a scare on the sets of 'Black, White & Gray – Love Kills' when a playful prank took a surprising turn.
Mayur pulled off a moment that left everyone momentarily panicked before bursting into laughter, adding a dose of fun and spontaneity to the shoot. Talking about the prank, Mayur revealed, 'I'm really into wildlife, so shooting in a tiger reserve was a dream. Every day, I hoped to spot a tiger, but after 10–12 days with no sightings and only reports from forest officers about past tiger movements, I started getting restless. Bored of waiting, Palak and I decided to prank the crew. I hid a speaker under some leaves and played a tiger growl through my phone. The forest was silent, so when the sound played, the crew panicked, looking around for the tiger. I couldn't stop laughing and that's when they realized I was behind it.'
He added, 'Later it struck me, if I kept pulling pranks like this and there was an actual tiger call next time, people might think it was just another joke. That could be dangerous. So, I stopped immediately. That day was the first and last time I pulled a stunt like that.'
On a related note, directed by Pushkar Sunil Mahabal and produced by Swaroop Sampat and Hemal A. Thakkar, the show features an ensemble cast including Mayur More, Palak Jaiswal, Deven Bhojani, Edward Sonnenblick, Hakkim Shahjahan, Anant Jog, Kamlesh Sawant, and Tigmanshu Dhulia.
The series also features a foreign journalist, Daniel Gray, who investigates a case involving four murders, all seemingly tied to a single suspect—a young man from a financially struggling background.
'Black, White & Gray – Love Kills' streams from 2nd May on Sony LIV. The story revolves around a journalist delving into a string of murders connected to a young man hailing from an underprivileged background.

Nintendo sets new record with 3.5 million Switch 2 units sold on opening weekend
Nintendo announced Wednesday that 3.5 million Switch 2 consoles were sold worldwide during the opening weekend, selling out and surpassing its predecessor. This marks a successful debut for the Switch 2, which had been expected to perform well due to pent-up demand for Nintendo's next-generation console, released eight years after the original Switch. The numbers released directly by Nintendo show strong consumer sentiment for the Switch 2. The Kyoto-based company says the Switch 2's sales figures marked the highest global sales for any Nintendo hardware within the first four days of release. The Switch 2 was released last Thursday in Nintendo's major markets, including the US, where gamers lined up at midnight to buy the console. Although Nintendo's new systems often debut with groundbreaking features—like the Wii's motion controls or the DS's touch screen—the Switch 2 marks a more iterative update to the original Switch. Released in 2017, the original Switch was wildly popular, selling 15 million units in its first year and introducing the hybrid form factor, allowing players to enjoy games both on the go and at home. Nintendo has sold 152 million units of Switch since its debut. That makes it the third best-selling console of all time, only behind Sony's PlayStation 2 and Nintendo's DS With the Switch 2, Nintendo hasn't changed the successful formula but has added a larger and better screen, improved performance, better Joy-Con controller and a higher price tag of $450. The Japanese gaming giant hopes the Switch 2 will attract new users, especially those unfamiliar with Nintendo's iconic characters like Mario and Zelda. The company is betting on familiar titles such as Mario Kart World, a brand-new entry in the Mario Kart franchise, which it hopes will drive sales of the Switch 2. Last month, Nintendo said it expects to sell 15 million units of the Switch 2 console in the fiscal year ending March 2026. However, analysts have called that estimate conservative. Dr. Serkan Toto of Kantan Games said he is forecasting sales of 20 million units in the first year. The success of the Switch 2 is critical for Nintendo and its broader ambition to evolve into an entertainment company akin to Disney. In recent years, Nintendo has diversified its business, expanding into theme parks and movies, though 90 percent of its revenue still comes from hardware. Analysts expect the Switch 2 to surpass the lifetime sales of the original Switch, giving Nintendo a new high. The strong reception and fandom surrounding the Switch 2 are already being compared to the early years of the iPhone. However, US tariffs remain a major concern for Nintendo, which manufactures its consoles in Asia.
