When asked about Elvish's whereabouts and his reaction to the gunfire incident at his house, Ram said that Elvish usually stays away from the Gurugram residence due to work.

British actor Terence Stamp, Superman villain, dies aged 87
Terence Stamp, who made his name as an actor in 1960s London and went on to play the arch-villain General Zod in the Hollywood hits "Superman" and "Superman II", has died aged 87, his family said on Sunday. The Oscar-nominated actor starred in films ranging from Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Theorem" in 1968 and "A Season in Hell" in 1971 to "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" in 1994 in which he played a transgender woman. The family said in a statement to Reuters that Stamp died on Sunday morning. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," the family said. "We ask for privacy at this sad time." Born in London's East End in 1938, the son of a tugboat stoker, he endured the bombing of the city during World War Two before leaving school to work initially in advertising, eventually winning a scholarship to go to drama school. Famous for his good looks and impeccable dress sense, he formed one of Britain's most glamorous couples with Julie Christie, with whom he starred in "Far From the Madding Crowd" in 1967. He also dated the model Jean Shrimpton and was chosen as a muse by photographer David Bailey. After failing to land the role of James Bond to succeed Sean Connery, he appeared in Italian films and worked with Federico Fellini in the late 1960s. He dropped out of the limelight and studied yoga in India before landing his most high-profile role - as General Zod, the megalomaniacal leader of the Kryptonians, in "Superman" in 1978 and its sequel in 1980. He went on to appear in a string of other films, including "Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise in 2008, "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon in 2011 and movies directed by Tim Burton.

Param Sundari trailer: UAE creators react as Bollywood stereotypes Keralites yet again
Bollywood has come under fire yet again for a stereotypical representation, as Param Sundari, starring Siddharth Malhotra and Jahnvi Kapoor, dropped its trailer. The trailer showcases what seems to be a typical love story — one that crosses borders in a South Indian girl, North Indian guy narrative. Forty seconds into the trailer, and the stereotypes begin. If you didn't know any better, you may think Bollywood was trying to rage-bait its viewers (this might still be a possibility). Many commenters also drew parallels of the poor representation, with the character Shalini Unnikrishnan in The Kerala Story. Janhvi introduces herself as Thekappatil Sundari Damodaran Pillai - a long-winded name, which couples the place with the name of the person. Such names that begin with the place marks an era that ended with our grandparents' generation. But Bollywood seems to be still stuck in those times. As Sundari introduces herself, she is seen dancing Mohiniyattam, a classical Indian dance originating from Kerala. A montage of boat racing, climbing coconut trees, and Param (Siddharth's character) learning Kalaripayattu (a Kerala-origin martial art) is what follows. While these are popular in Kerala, the trailer seems to suggest Malayalees are always doing one of these activities at any given time. But while these can perhaps be forgiven, what really hurts is Sundari's random insertion of the Malayalam term Manunni (which roughly translates to a naive person, depending on the context). The trailer ends in what seems to be, ironically, an attempt to correct stereotypes. Sundari is seen explaining the difference between South Indian states by mentioning their languages and a famous actor of each state. After explaining that every South Indian is not Madrasi, she goes on to speak a sentence in what is supposed to be Malayalam; no matter how many times it was replayed, this writer could not make head or tail of it, and nor could several other Malayalee creators. Noora Al Helali, an Emirati creator famous for speaking Malayalam fluently along with her sister, called out the lack of effort on the part of the movie crew to learn the language. She acknowledged that while there are words that are difficult to pronounce for those not native to Kerala, the cast could have sat down with a dubbing artist for a better command of Malayalam, or to fix certain phrases. Ahmed AlKaashekh, a UAE-based influencer who hails from Kerala, called on Bollywood to do better if they are attempting to showcase diverse cultures. "It is 2025, and we are done with the lungi dance, the mullapoo (jasmine flowers), the Rajnikanth references." Pavithra Menon, a singer and television presenter from Kerala, questioned why the makers of such movies refuse to cast an actual Malayalee actress who has a strong command of the language. There also seems to be censorship of backlash against Param Sundari, which is landing in theatres on August 29. Menon reuploaded her video after the original rant was removed by Instagram.
