After Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt will star in Ramayana, she will portray the role of..,Lord Ram will be played by superstar…
Ever since Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has been announced, fans and filmy buffs cannot wait to witness the magic it's going to create on screen. From the big banner productions, high technology usage, and the release of its first promo, it has been creating a buzz on social media. But after Ranbir Kapoor, who is all set to portray the role of Lord Ram, and Sai Pallavi, who will play Sita in Nitesh Tiwari's film. Another Ramayana-based film is also taking shape in the South, this time from veteran actor Vishnu Manchu. Vishnu Manchu's Ramayana
Vishnu Manchu shared earlier that he has been working on this mythological film for a very long time. But he is going to adapt it with a twist. He also revealed that this version will emphasise Ravana's perspective. He came up with this concept back in 2009 and reached out to superstar Supriya to play the role of Ram. However, due to budget constraints, the film couldn't be made at that time.
The direction of the film was supposed to be done by Vishnu's father, actor Mohan Babu, who would also be doing the dual role by portraying the role of Ravana. The scripts and dialogues of the film were also ready however, it was shelved that time and now years later, the project has once again gained momentum. Who Will Play The Role of Lord Ram, And Goddess Sita?
Recently, in an interview, Vishnu shared that he has prepared the entire script, which would depict the story of Ravana from his birth to his eventual end. Speaking of casting, Vishnu immediately named Supriya as his first choice for the role of Lord Ram, while Bollywood's beloved actress Alia Bhatt was finalised for the role of Sita.
He also shared that he wanted to play the role of Lord Hanuman; however, his father did not approve of this. He instead wants him to play the role of Indrajit, Ravana's powerful son. Meanwhile, Vishnu had visualised junior NTR's brother Kalyan Ram in the roles of Lakshman and Bharat, while veteran actor Satyaraj was chosen to play the wise and valiant Jatayu.
This highly ambitious project will showcase a fresh and never-seen perspective on the classic tale by focusing on the character of Ravana, not just as a villain, but as a complex and multi-layered figure. As Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is all set to hit the theatres. All eyes will also be on Vishnu Manchu's take, which promises to showcase the old age tale with a twist.

NEW DELHI: Delhi HC (HC) was informed Monday that the producers of the film 'Udaipur Files - Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder' had applied to , seeking re-certification, which was likely to be considered soon. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The producers stated that six cuts - as suggested by the Centre - had been made in the film, and a modified disclaimer had been included. Noting the submission that the film's re-certification was pending, and one of the petitioners had requested an adjournment, a bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela agreed to hear the matter on July 30. The petitions had been sent back to HC by Supreme Court (SC) hearing the plea of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind President Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case. SC asked the petitioners to move HC against the Centre's revisional order permitting the film's release. HC had earlier stayed the film's release, prompting its producers to approach SC. Last week, SC had pointed out that the filmmakers' appeal against the HC order staying the film's release no longer survived as they had accepted the July 21 Centre nod for the film's release, subject to six cuts in its scenes and modifications in the disclaimer. On Monday, when HC asked the Centre's counsel if the movie had been re-certified, it was informed that the film had been approved with six cuts and one disclaimer, and the certification was pending. Javed's counsel sought an assurance that the movie wouldn't be released till the next date of hearing. HC said until re-certification, the producers cannot release the film anyway. Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal was murdered in June 2022.

Patar's poetry finds new script, techie decodes him for other Pb
Chandigarh: Motivated by a love for language and growing demand from readers in Pakistan, Melbourne-based Tejinder Singh has taken it upon himself to translate the works of iconic Punjabi poet Surjit Patar into Shahmukhi, the script used in West Punjab. The 48-year-old computing professional who moved to Australia two decades ago began the project by translating Khudkushi (suicide), one of Patar's acclaimed poems, into Shahmukhi and sharing it on X (formerly Twitter). "I'm surprised to find that Patar remains untranslated into Shahmukhi or English," he wrote. "I start a humble effort to bridge these languages, translating his works one poem at a time." His effort drew praise from British MP Preet Kaur Gill, who posted the original Gurmukhi version in appreciation. Born at Bhagowal village in Punjab's Gurdaspur district, Tejinder Singh said the idea had struck him after repeated requests from readers in Pakistani Punjab. "They want to read Patar, and it's disheartening that his poetry remains inaccessible there largely due to script barriers," he said. Even though trained in computing — with a bachelor's degree from India and a master's from Australia — Tejinder Singh taught himself Shahmukhi using open resources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Updates: Insurance Coverage GIP & GLP-1 Agonists GoodRx Learn More Undo "Shahmukhi is similar to Urdu, but with an extra layer of diacritics for Punjabi sounds," he explained. While he uses artificial intelligence tools during the process, he says he reviews and refines each translation manually to preserve the original poem's emotional and literary essence. The translator believes literature is key to rebuilding lost cultural ties between East and West Punjab. "There are about 3 crore Punjabis in Indian Punjab, but 13 crore in Pakistani Punjab. Our shared literature deserves to be read and loved across the border," he said. Calling his initiative a personal passion project, Tejinder Singh plans to continue translating Patar's poetry to ensure the late poet's work transcends scripts, borders, and generations. One poem at a time, he'll send, a bridge of ink the border can't end. MSID:: 122955215 413 |

Noida man's Bengaluru is 'extremely fake and shallow' post triggers debate on Reddit
A Reddit post shared by a Noida-based man about his experience in Bengaluru has triggered a debate on social on the 'r/Noida' subreddit with the caption, "For those who think Bangalore is better than Noida," the post detailed the struggles he faced while living in Reddit user, originally from Noida, had recently moved to Bengaluru for work but admitted he didn't enjoy living there. Although he considered moving back, he said the higher salary in Bengaluru was the only thing keeping him from "I've lived in Noida for 26 years — born and brought up there. I moved to Bengaluru last year, and every day I wish to go back to Noida. But I can't because of the pay. You won't get as much money in Noida," he wrote in his he described Bengaluru as "fake and shallow," claiming people were more invested in projecting a certain lifestyle than living authentically. "Everybody wants to show off here. People buy expensive, fancy dogs to show off, wear overpriced clothes, drive flashy cars, and go to expensive restaurants just for appearances," he to him, Bengaluru is also overpriced. "You have to pre-book just to enter most places. You can't walk into cafes or restaurants on weekends. And the food is mediocre at best. Sure, there are good cafes, but the wait time is so long, it kills the vibe. Why would you want to stand in line for half an hour," he also criticised Bengaluru's infamous traffic and public transport system, adding that cabs were often cheaper than autos. "I won't even start on the traffic — you've heard how bad it is, but it's actually worse in reality," he only positive he acknowledged was Bengaluru's weather. But even that, he said, wasn't enough to outweigh the city's downsides. "The weather is the best thing about this place, but the rest just ruins it for me," he the viral post here: Noida-based man's Reddit post on Bengaluru went viral The post went viral, with users chiming in with their own city comparisons. "Day 582, thanking God I didn't get placed in Bangalore," one user commented. Another added, "No one said Bangalore is better than Noida. Noida has better infrastructure and living standards, but Bangalore offers better pay and more opportunities."One user wrote, "If you don't mind traditional social norms, moral policing, and reduced protection of democratic rights, then Noida is better in every way—except weather and air quality. It has better roads, less traffic, fewer outages, and is way cheaper."Others defended Bengaluru: "Not many people assess it with this lens. Noida's roads are unsafe, there's barely any traffic policing, and power cuts are more frequent. Water quality is worse, too. And while some things are cheaper, the gentry isn't as good as Bangalore.'- EndsMust Watch
