Actor Prabhas is gearing up for his new avatar in his upcoming film, The Raja Saab. After unveiling his first look, the makers treated fans to a new poster on Tuesday. They dropped Sanjay Dutt's first look from the film on his birthday. Sanjay Dutt turned 66. On his special day, The Raja Saab film team shared the birthday boy's look to wish him on social media. Promising a terrifying version of Sanjay Dutt, the makers wrote, "Team #TheRajaSaab wishes the Powerhouse and versatile Sanju Baba - @DuttSanjay a very Happy Birthday. Get ready to witness a terrifying presence that will shake you to the core this Dec 5th in cinemas (sic)." In the poster, Sanjay Dutt sports a rugged, aged look never seen before. He's seen with long grey locks and a timeworn expression. He posed against an eerie backdrop featuring layers of dust, cracked walls, and spiderwebs in an abandoned, haunted atmosphere. His look sets the tone of his sinister character in the film. Reacting to the look, netizens have shared their excitement for the film. In the comment section, a user wrote, 'Zabardast.' '1000 cr loading,' another user predicted the fate of the film. Someone commented, 'Happy Birthday @duttsanjay Sanju Baba can't wait for ur screen presence & swag in @rajasaabmovie.' Yet another called Sanjay Dutt's look 'top notch' in the comments. The Raja Saab is touted to be a horror comedy film. It is written and directed by Maruthi. Apart from Prabhas and Sanjay Dutt in the lead, the film also stars Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, Nayanthara, and Kiara Advani. It marks Malavika's Telugu debut. The film was initially set for its release on 10 April. Later, the release was postponed. It will hit the big screens on 5 December. The Raja Saab will clash with Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's much-anticipated film, Dhurandhar. Interestingly, Sanjay Dutt is a part of both films. Talking about it, Sanjay told the media at a release event: 'It's amazing. Two different kinds of roles I'm playing. 'Dhurandhar' is different, and 'The Raja Saab' is different. I don't want the films to clash, and I hope they don't. Every film has its own journey. 'I'm trying to learn Telugu because I'm doing a film with Prabhas. He makes me eat a lot! He's one of the most amazing people and a great actor. I love Chiranjeevi sir, he did Munna Bhai here. I share a great relationship with him.'

Viral Video Shows Delightful Art Of Making Japanese Mochi, Internet Is Impressed
The sweet, chewy mochi from Japan has captured hearts around the world. But have you ever wondered what goes into crafting these tender treats? A newly viral video has given the internet a glimpse into the traditional Japanese art of making mochi, showcasing the intense yet mesmerising process that yields these pillowy pastries. The footage, filmed at the Nakatanidou shop in Nara City, captures the incredibly fast and synchronised mochi-making process. The workers are seen pounding the dough using traditional mochitsuki techniques. They alternate between heavy beatings from two different wooden mallets. The softened dough is then filled with an array of sweet surprises, from classic red bean paste and white bean paste to modern twists like ice cream, custard, fresh strawberries, and even cookie dough. To finish, the mochi is delicately dusted with a layer of soybean powder, adding a subtle nutty flavour and silky texture to the treat. While there are no strict set times, demonstrations occur roughly every 30 minutes throughout the day. The side note read, 'Mochi pounding in Nara at Nakatanidou. There is a show every 30 minutes.' Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by coucou it's Estelle (@ellevousguide) The internet was enchanted by the post. One user wrote, "These were phenomenal and still worth the hype.

"These are by far the BEST mochi I've tried in Japan," read a comment. A user said, "This place made me realize there's mochi that's TOO soft for me."
