"I just believe that we live on a flat plane": Wiz Khalifa on his thought about earth
During the recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, when he was asked if he thought Earth was round, he replied, "no."
"I just believe that we live on a flat plane, like a huge flat plane," said Khalifa, reported People.
Khalifa shared that he seemingly believes in "flat plane" theory because he's "travelled so much."
However, after the guest host and academic Marc Lamont Hill challenged him by asking if he had ever travelled to the edge of the Earth, Khalifa reframed his thinking.
"Nah, it's not that. I think that there's more masses than just what we see because it was one thing before and it spread out," he said, appearing to refer to the supercontinent of Pangaea, as per the outlet.
Khalifa shared that he believed there was more land that humans had yet to discover.
"Because when I travel, the routes that we take and how we do it, it's not possible to go up and down. You're just going straight. That's the only reason I think that," said the "Black and Yellow" performer, reported People.
"I don't believe in space exploration at all," he said. "I don't believe that they explore space as much as they say that they do."
Despite his apparent beliefs, Khalifa's new album Kush + Orange Juice 2 -- which was released on Friday, April 18 and is a sequel to his 2010 record -- features a round photo of Earth on its cover, reported People.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi: Smriti Irani As Tulsi Moves Audience With Emotional Vidai Scene
The latest episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, starring Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, showcases an emotional vidaai sequence. Ektaa Kapoor-backed Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, led by Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, is a hit. At a time when daily soaps are going through a challenging time, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi topping the BARC charts proves that the industry can be resurrected with good content and nostalgia. In the recent episode, the show marked a significant milestone with the wedding of Tulsi and Mihir's daughter, Pari. The highlight of the track was the touching 'vidai' sequence, which saw Smriti Irani deliver a powerful and heartfelt performance, reminding fans why Tulsi remains one of Indian television's most beloved characters. In the poignant farewell scene, Tulsi, played by Smriti Irani, shares an emotional goodbye with her daughter, embodying the complex emotions of a mother letting go — joy, pride, and heartbreak. Smriti's performance struck a chord with viewers and cast members alike, many of whom were visibly moved during the shoot. The special episode also brought back several familiar faces from the original ensemble, turning the set into a warm reunion filled with nostalgia and camaraderie. The return of iconic characters made the wedding celebration all the more memorable, creating a sense of continuity and legacy for longtime fans of the show. Take a look at a few stills from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot: Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot episode not only reaffirms Smriti Irani's lasting bond with the character of Tulsi, but also stands out as a moment of emotional resonance in the show's ongoing narrative. The 'vidai' scene is already being hailed as one of the most moving moments of the season. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi becomes highest-related Hindi daily soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, which premiered on July 29 on Star Plus and JioHotstar, made a remarkable debut with a 2.5 TVR, making it the highest-rated Hindi GEC fiction launch (drama series or daily soap broadcast on Hindi-language General Entertainment Channels in India) in the last five years, as per BARC data. The show even surpassed Rupali Ganguly's Anupamaa, which had recently dipped and landed in the third spot with a 2.1 TVR. In a fragmented TV landscape where most fiction shows fail to cross the 2 TVR mark in their opening week, this can be safely touted as a landmark achievement. Recently, during an interview with Filmibeat, when Smriti was asked about feeling pressurised about TRPs, the actress-politician said, 'I think we have set the benchmark. So, there's nobody else to compete with but us. But I also understand that when we began the show (25 years ago), there was no social media, there was no OTT, there was no fragmented audience, we had no PR, we had no hoarding, we had no Instagram to tell our viewers what is upcoming or who is in the cast. Nobody had any followers anywhere. So, to have our hands tied behind and still manage to give such an excellent product, for that time, was historical." 'Today's history has been created because there are no shows that can come back after 25 years and still be successful with the same cast, with the same production house, on the same network. So, I think we have managed to recreate history. For us today, we are free from the pressures of revenue or numbers because we have already proven our mark," she added. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi airs Monday to Friday at 10:30 PM, only on Star Plus. First Published: August 17, 2025, 13:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' didn't deserve an 'A' certificate, says Producer Elred Kumar
Chennai: Lauding director Lokesh Kanakaraj's action extravaganza 'Coolie', featuring Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead, one of Tamil film industry's well-known producers Elred Kumar has now expressed surprise and displeasure at the film having been given an 'A' certificate by the Censor Board. Taking to his X timeline soon after having watched the film, the producer wrote, "Watched #Coolie @Dir_Lokesh fantastic work. #Rajini sir amazes me, Superstar is always a Superstar! @anirudhofficial elevates the film to another level. Other language films with more violence get U/A, yet #Coolie gets an A? This film didn't deserve that. Something fuzzy, Tamil film fraternity needs to step up." Producer Elred Kumar isn't the only one to have expressed this opinion. Scores of other viewers who watched the film too have expressed a similar opinion. In fact, the decision of the Censor Board to grant an 'A' certificate to the film raised many eyebrows, even before the film's release. The development even had a section of the audience concerned. Family audiences and children form a considerable chunk of actor Rajinikanth's fan base and Coolie getting an 'A' certificate meant that families would be unable to take their children to theatres to watch the eagerly-awaited film. However, despite the A certificate, the film has performed exceptionally well, setting the cash registers to ring at the box office. The film's makers, Sun Pictures, claimed that the film had made a worldwide gross of Rs 151 crores, the highest ever day one worldwide gross made by a Tamil film. Coolie also became the highest overseas Day 1 grosser among Tamil films, making over 8.75 million Dollars. Coolie, which seems to be living up to the huge expectations from it, has made headlines by becoming the highest overseas procurement for a Tamil film to date. Rumours doing the rounds in the industry also suggest that director Lokesh Kanakaraj's much awaited action entertainer has reached audiences in over a 100 countries around the world. Hamsini Entertainment, a key player in international film distribution, is backing the film's global distribution. Apart from Rajinikanth, the film also stars stalwarts from the Indian film industry like Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir and Shruti Haasan. Anirudh has composed the music for the film, marking his fourth consecutive film with director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Cinematography for the film is by Girish Gangadharan and editing is by Philomin Raj. Interestingly, director Lokesh Kanakaraj had disclosed that 'Coolie', which is Rajinikanth's 171st film, will be a stand alone film and not a part of his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).

Poster of Mura Mura OTT release update The film, which had a theatrical release in November 2024, had made its OTT debut on Amazon Prime Video in December. It has also been confirmed that the movie, which also stars Suraj Venjaramoodu in pivotal roles, will be available for streaming on these platforms in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu from 12 am on August 29. There are currently no other Malayalam films slated to debut digitally on this particular day. Kammattam, a Malayalam web series, will also be available on ZEE5 and OTTplay Premium on the same day. Based on a true story, the six-episode investigative thriller stars Sudev Nair as a cop.

Mala Parvathy, Jobin Das, Anujit Kannan, Yedu Krishna, Vigneshwar Suresh, Kannan Nair, Krish Hassan, Sibi Joseph, and Kani Kusruthi along with a set of new actors also starred in the movie. Suraj seems to be portraying a slightly enigmatic character, which the audience has praised. The film, which is set in Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala, centres on four unemployed youngsters whose lives take a dark turn after they agree to a task at Ani's request. How this alters their lives forever forms the crux of Mura. Kappela, starring Anna Ben, is Muhammad Mustafa's most well-known film. Suresh Babu wrote the script for the movie. Christy Joby was the music director, while Chaman Chacko was in charge of editing. Fazil Nasser is the cinematographer. Undoubtedly, the film's young cast raised expectations for a fresh approach to performances and storytelling before its theatrical debut.
