Kamal Haasan's film Thug Life faces Rs 25 lakh fine from National Multiplex Association over breach of contract
Mani Ratnam 's recently released film Thug Life made a disappointing run at the box office, despite the hype. Featuring a stellar cast of some of the biggest names in the industry, the movie did not work out well during its theatrical run. Amid reports about the makers considering an OTT release of the film sooner than expected, it seems the film has now received another huge blow. Thug Life faced heavy fine from National Multiplex Association? As per a report by The Hindu, Thug Life has now faced a massive fine from the National Multiplex Association over a breach of contract. As the movie failed to hit the mark, its previously set 8-week deal was changed and the OTT release date was preponed from before. Back then, the National Multiplex Association had allowed the movie to be streamed in their theaters based on this condition. However, with the changes of circumstances and situations, they have now levied a hefty fine of Rs. 25 lakh towards the makers for breach of contract. Netflix deal re-negotiated for Thug Life In other news, Thug Life is already facing a crisis with regards to its OTT deal. The makers who had partnered with Netflix for the online streaming had to re-negotiate a new deal with them, at an albeit lesser quoted price than before. For the unversed, the initial deal struck with Netflix was made on a whopping budget of Rs. 130 crore. Thug Life faced ban in Karnataka owing to Kamal Haasan's statement One of the other factors which seemingly contributed to the poor run of Thug Life at the box office was its ban on theatrical release in Karnataka. The movie was banned ahead of release by the Karnataka Film Chamber after one of Kamal Haasan 's statements hurt the sentiments of the Kannada-speaking community. Thug Life's final box office collection so far Speaking about box office numbers, the gangster action thriller ended its theatrical run at a disastrous mark of Rs. 93 crore only worldwide. The movie was unable to hit even the decent Rs. 100 crore mark at the box office which most high-valued Kollywood projects have easily hit within a few days. Thug Life has now joined the likes of the Tamil film Kanguva which had such a dismal run.

'I would love to avenge the loss': Jake Paul eyes revenge as Tommy Fury hints at rematch within a year
Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury (via Getty Images) Jake Paul is still committed to avenging his sole career loss, and Tommy Fury has just added further fuel to the frenzy by announcing that a lucrative rematch may be on the cards in the next 12 months. The longstanding animosity between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the undefeated British boxer is back in the limelight, with both teams making new remarks regarding facing each other for a second time. Tommy Fury confident about inevitable Jake Paul rematch as tensions continue to escalate Tommy Fury, who beat Jake Paul last year in a highly competitive bout, says a rematch is not only possible but is coming soon. The 26-year-old British boxer guested on Eddie Hall's The Good, The Bad & The Beast podcast and claimed that a rematch is "always going to be there" due to the unfinished business and huge public appetite surrounding their feud. The two first met in February 2023 in Saudi Arabia, with Tommy Fury winning through split decision. The highly dramatic and hyped fight concluded with Jake Paul suffering his first career loss—a move he has categorically stated he "1000 percent" wishes to overturn. Despite rumors earlier this year that Tommy Fury rejected several offers—including a rumored $6 million offer to fight Jake Paul on Netflix—Fury now claims to be willing to do the rematch, but only on his terms. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Vietnam (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo "There is just no way because I know what I am capable of. And when I fought him the first time, that was not 60 percent of what I am capable of. I think that fight will happen in the next 12 months. I will be ready for that fight. And if he wants to try and change what happened the last time, he can try, but it ain't going to work," Fury said. Jake Paul, for his part, isn't denying the possibility either. While preparing for his return to the ring this weekend against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Paul acknowledged his interest: 'I would love to avenge the loss 1000 percent, but there are 15 people with massive names waiting to fight me, and also the goal is to become world champion. I won Knockout of the year, most fight, most watched fight ever. The only thing left to do in the sport is to become world champion. ' Paul also claimed Tommy Fury had 'outpriced himself' and said, 'I'm the only thing that Tommy has. I don't need Tommy." "Jake might have been more active than I recently, but you can't get better fighting 60-year-old men. I do not care who you are. At 60, you are not who you were. For him (Paul) to get better, he needs fights like he had with me. And I know if I fought him now, I would do the same thing to him. He has got the L. I am not chasing the fight. The only fight that matters is me. Everybody knows that. He has one loss on that record and that is to me," Fury needled, referencing Paul's previous opponent, 58-year-old Mike Tyson. Fury made a point to say that he is only seeking "big fights" anymore and confirmed that Jake Paul is still one of the top contenders on his list. "What's next for me? I think the big fights are looming. I think they are always going to be there because history is there. I am getting used to fighting again. Whatever fight comes to be honest."

After their initial bout was already one of the most viewed boxing contests in recent years, a sequel is just what the sport—and its crossover audience—may be clamoring for. One thing is certain: both men have unfinished business, and the next 12 months could witness it being resolved in the ring again. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.

Ashok Pathak decodes his viral breakthrough as Binod in Panchayat. Here's his story
For actor Ashok Pathak, aka our beloved Binod from 'Panchayat', the phone hasn't stopped ringing ever since the fourth season of the popular TVF franchise premiered on Prime Video. While he is patiently taking out time from his schedule to thank each one of his fans, he confesses to enjoying his moments of fame as he still battles with his tears looking at the love sharing his emotions with India Pathak said, 'I've been in tears for the past two days, overwhelmed by the flood of emotional messages from fans. One fan even created a reel on my character that has garnered thousands of views and comments on it. I've spent the entire day crying in my vanity van, and my makeup artist is finding it hard to do my makeup through the tears.'When Binod's character was first introduced in 'Panchayat 2' (2022), he was little more than a background presence, rarely seen and hardly taken seriously. But who would have thought that a single dialogue from the actor would make his presence pivotal to the very pulse of Phulera. advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin) Binod is that hilariously naive sidekick in the show whose innocent expressions and unintentional comic timing will have become meme material, endearing him to audiences and earning him the iconic dialogue like 'Dekh rahe ho Binod' in 'Panchayat 2' to the powerful 'Gareeb hain par gaddar nahi,' in Season 4, his character has evolved from being just another villager to a pivotal presence who elevates the narrative depth of the series. What was once a background role now carries emotional weight, adding layers to the story like never the actor was unaware initially that his dialogues from the series could trigger a meme fest and that it would leave many relating to the same.'I had no idea that my dialogue in the second season would become so popular. I approached it just like any other project I had done before. My role in that season was quite small, and with such a large ensemble cast, I honestly didn't think people would even remember me. But the day after the release, the kind of response I received left me completely numb. It all started with the toilet scene, where my line, 'Yahin ha**enge hum', went viral almost instantly. Then came 'Dekh rahe ho Binod,' which sparked a meme fest and even trended on X at the time. Suddenly, everyone was calling me Binod. It was surreal.'advertisementOften seen in the shadow of Bhushan Kumar aka Banrakas or lurking in the margins of panchayat meetings with his friend Madhav, Binod initially appears to be just another quiet bystander. But as the show progresses, particularly by Season 3, Binod's quiet demeanour begins to reflect something the end of the third season, the writers begin to subtly layer Binod's character with complexity. He's still mostly quiet, but his silence now carries weight. There's a noticeable shift in his reactions, his pauses, and the way he observes the shifting power dynamics in Phulera. His loyalty isn't as automatic, and he begins to act more as a self-thinking individual than an extension of others' we can't get over his innocent expressions in the series, Pathak stated how he just had fun doing his part. View this post on Instagram A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin)'While preparing for Binod, I made sure to hold on to his essence. He may appear innocent, but he's certainly not naive. He feels deeply and has his own emotions. In Season 4, a scene where Binod is invited to dinner at Manju Devi's house, I made a conscious effort to show his neutral reactions when asked to switch parties and join theirs. I improvised my performance to stay true to the moment and did what the scene demanded of me,' the actor told character in the series might not have many revolutionary dialogues or scenes. However, he managed to leave an ever-lasting impact and give goosebumps with his acting. Ashok Pathak's performance became a masterclass in restraint in the climax where Bhushan Kumar and Kranti Devi won the Panchayat actor shared that his performance even left everyone on set emotional.'The credit for that scene also goes to the director. It was actually shot on the very first day, and it took me a little time to ease into it. The joy of winning that election was clearly visible in the performance. Ever since that scene aired, my Instagram has been flooded, it's practically crashed from all the love,' he said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ashok Pathak (@ashokpathakt)advertisement'From the beginning, I had a feeling that my character would stand out this season, especially because everyone on set kept telling me the same. But I didn't expect what happened during the climax shoot. The entire set turned emotional, everyone started crying and clapping for me. They were genuinely amazed. I still remember Faisal Malik hugging me and saying, 'You killed it and gave goosebumps.' I hadn't rehearsed the scene much, I just went with the flow and gave it my all,' Pathak being the son of a daily wage worker and selling cotton for Rs 100 to making his Cannes debut in 2024, Ashok Pathak has come a long way, carving his own path in Indian cinema. His portrayal of Binod in the popular series adds depth to the show's fabric, making the character one of the most intriguing ones in 'Panchayat'. With all-time-high anticipation for the fifth season, it will be exciting to watch what different the actor will bring to the table with his prowess.- EndsTrending Reel
