Meanwhile, India's own Oscar- and Grammy Award-winning music composer AR Rahman also attended Hans Zimmer Live in Abu Dhabi. He took to his Instagram handle and shared a photo of Zimmer getting a wide round of applause after his performance in Abu Dhabi. The German composer, 67, was also seen running towards a teammate in excitement on the stage.
'Watched the spectacular @hanszimmer show at Abu Dhabi… when is he coming to India? (heart eyes emoji)?' Rahman wrote in the caption. Zimmer and Rahman will collaborate to score Nitesh Tiwari's adaptation of the Ramayana. While Rahman is tight-lipped about the same, producer Namit Malhotra confirmed the development and called it a 'dream come true.'
Backed by Malhotra and Kannada superstar Yash, the Ramayana adaptation stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Kunal Kapoor as Indradev, Arun Govil as Dasharath, and Lara Dutta as Kekayi among others. It will release in two installments, on Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027 respectively.
Hans Zimmer had opened up on his Abu Dhabi concert in a statement recently. 'I am very excited to be performing for the first time in the city where Dune: Part Two was filmed and served as the inspiration for the score,' he said, referring to Denis Villeneuve's blockbuster sci-fi epic, starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, which released in cinemas last year. Zimmer previously performed in Dubai in summer last year.

He's also composed for blockbusters like Christopher Nolan's 2008 superhero film The Dark Knight, Johnny Depp-starrer action franchise Pirates of the Caribbean, and Joseph Kosinski's 2022 aerial action entertainer Top Gun: Maverick.

Love & Loyalty: Decoding Men by Birth Month
February Behind that seemingly aloof, semi-detached, "I-don't-do-feelings" exterior is someone who actually writes intricate love stories in their head. These men fall for the very soul of a person, not just a fleeting smile. And once they do fall in love, good luck trying to get them to unlove you. They might outwardly pretend to move on, but emotionally? They're often still holding hands in the rain, just like a classic Nicholas Sparks ending. April Are they impulsive? Absolutely. Are they emotional pyromaniacs? Also, a definite yes. But when a man born in April loves, it's a true ride-or-die commitment—just with a bit more fire and a few less brakes. They might argue with the intensity of a soap opera finale, but they will always, always circle back. They're simply not wired for anything less than a full-hearted effort. July These men are like human diaries on legs. They feel absolutely everything and store it all away like an emotional playlist constantly on loop. Once a July-born man truly lets someone into his heart, that love settles in deeply, much like a stubborn wine stain on a white shirt—nearly impossible to wash out. Even when it hurts, they will continue to love with the unwavering intensity of a powerful Bollywood monologue. August These men are born with a leading role mentality, and they bring that same grandiosity to their love life. They are fiercely protective, incredibly generous, and love to shower their partner with attention and admiration. They might have a big personality, but their loyalty is even bigger. When an August-born man loves, he celebrates that love and makes his partner feel like the most important person in the world. October Charming, wonderfully balanced, and emotionally invested as if they've been studying love languages as a dedicated minor in university. Men born in October truly believe in fairytale endings—but their version often includes careful contracts, healthy compromise, and perfectly curated playlists. They might appear breezy and detached, but underneath that easygoing exterior is a man who will love forever… quietly, consistently, and probably always smelling of good cologne. December Jolly and outwardly cheerful on the surface, yet possessing a deep emotional complexity underneath, much like an Oscar-winning character arc. These men love with a childlike faith and an adult-level loyalty that's truly remarkable. They might flirt like it's their favorite sport, but when they genuinely fall in love? It's an all-in commitment. Expect their time, unwavering attention, full support—and yes, possibly even some wonderfully cheesy Instagram captions if it means bringing a smile to your face.

Aamir Khan's commentary during IPL leaves fans divided, Raaes director deletes his indirect dig
'Promotion karo, gyaan mat..', Raaes director takes an indirect dig at Aamir Khan's IPL commentary, deletes it later. In the fast-paced world of cricket and cinema, collisions and crossovers between the two are quite common and often take the center stage, especially when two big names are also involved. The same was the case when a routine promotional turned into an online debate and eventually led to the deletion of a tweet. During the IPL 2025 final, Aamir Khan showed up not just as a spectator but also as a guest commentator with Suresh Raina and Akash Chopra. While his fans hailed him for his presence in the commentary box, not everyone was impressed by the same. What happened next was a streak of storms. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Rahul Dholakia, Raees director, shared his thoughts on an anonymous person 'Yaar picture ka promotion karo—gyaan mat baato! I want Kohli to win this year and Zinta to win next year! Both these passionate people deserve to win, for their sheer persistence!' Even though Rahul never pinpointed anyone in his tweet, the tweet came right after Aamir's live Hindi commentary during the IPL final, where he also promoted his upcoming film Sitare Zameen Par. Netizens were quick to react, joining the dots, interpreting it as a direct jibe at Aamir for allegedly using the commentary platform to market his film instead of focusing on cricket. Grabbing mixed reactions from X users, some supported Rahul's emotions for wanting to keep sports and film promotions separate, while others felt the dig was uncalled for. Eventually, Rahul deleted his post within a few hours, but by then, screenshots had already gone viral. Rahul Dholakia, the National Award-winning filmmaker, is best known for his film Parzania. However, it was Raees (2017), featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, that rose him to fame. Aamir Khan is currently busy promoting his next film, Sitare Zameen Par. He was at the stadium as part of a promotional strategy. Sharing space with cricketing legends and offering game insights was perhaps meant to boost the film's visibility, but it ended up sparking controversy instead. Fans were divided. Some praised Aamir's passion for sports and versatility, while others criticized the blending of cinema promotions with live sports commentary.
