John Abraham-starrer Tehrans projection illuminates Mumbai's Sea Link
Abraham, was also present at the event and called it a 'proud, unforgettable moment", adding that being a part of 'Tehran" has been a phenomenal journey.
'Going by my film choices over the years, it's obvious that I have an ongoing love affair with the country — a connection that finds its way into almost everything I do on screen. My fascination with geo-politics made this story an instant draw for me. 'Interacting with the brilliant minds at Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service was both inspiring and humbling and watching the film's poster light up the Bandra Worli Sea Link was a proud, unforgettable moment," the 52-year-old added.
Streaming on ZEE5, 'Tehran" is a geo-political thriller about the global tension between Israel and Iran and India's entanglement in the conflict as collateral damage. Produced by Maddock Films and directed by Arun Gopalan, the film also stars Manushi Chhillar, Neeru Bajwa, and Madhurima Tuli in key roles. PTI SMR BK BK

Does Shah Rukh Khan Throw Tantrums On Sets? His Witty Response Wins The Internet
Shah Rukh Khan humorously dismissed tantrum rumours and updated fans on his shoulder injury. The actor also launched Aryan Khan's Ba***ds of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan, on Saturday evening, hosted a surprise 'Ask SRK' session on X, leaving fans in a frenzy. There, SRK spoke about his upcoming film King, and also soft-launched his son Aryan Khan's debut directorial series, Ba***ds of Bollywood, slated for release this year. During the question-answer session, SRK was asked if he throws tantrums on sets – a question that often circles big stars. His reply won the Internet. In his signature humorous style, Shah Rukh Khan dismissed the notion outright. 'Nobody allows me to throw tantrums on sets," he said, before adding a cheeky remark about his upcoming project. 'Now on King, even less — the director is so strict and organised." The superstar's upcoming film is being directed by Pathaan-fame Siddharth Anand. Here is his post: Nobody allows me to throw tantrums on sets. Now on King even less the director is so too strict and organised. — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) August 16, 2025 SRK shares big update on King Shah Rukh Khan returned to films in 2023, five years after Zero with Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in 2018. He first starred in Pathaan, then Jawan and Dunki – all in the same year. He is now gearing up for King, which also stars his daughter, Suhana Khan. During his trademark #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked him when his next film would release. In his witty yet candid response, SRK wrote, 'Did some good shoot… starting soon again. Only leg shots then move to upper body… Insha Allah will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish." For the unversed, King shoot is halted briefly owing to his recent shoulder injury. SRK injured on King sets Shah Rukh Khan's highly-awaited King faced a setback after the superstar injured his shoulder while shooting an intense sequence at Mumbai's Golden Tobacco Studio, according to a Mid-Day report. Though the injury isn't life-threatening, SRK has flown to the US for precautionary treatment, where doctors have advised him to rest for at least a month. As a result, production schedules planned at Film City, Golden Tobacco, and YRF Studios for July and August have been put on hold. Shooting is likely to resume in September or October, depending on his recovery. Despite the delay, buzz around King continues to soar. The film stars SRK as a veteran assassin training his protégé, played by Suhana Khan. The cast also features Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, and Raghav Juyal, with Anil Kapoor reportedly essaying the role of SRK's mentor.

‘The Kerala Story' National Award row: Adah Sharma hits back at criticism, says, 'We can't snatch away...'
The storm around The Kerala Story refuses to settle. Despite facing heavy backlash since its release, the film recently picked up two National Awards—Best Director for Sudipto Sen and Best Cinematography. But along with recognition came a fresh wave of criticism, with many questioning whether the honours were deserved. The controversy dates back to 2023 when the film first hit theatres. Accusations flew that it painted Muslims in a negative light, spreading a propaganda-driven narrative. For some, it was an untold truth; for others, a dangerous distortion. Ada Sharma's Stand on Negativity Speaking exclusively to News18, lead actress Ada Sharma shared how she views the debate. 'Kahaniyon mein villain kabhi nahi sochte ki hero jeetne ke yogya hai. I'm not calling everyone a villain. Everyone has the right to their opinion. But if you spread negativity without reason, then yes, you are the villain,' she said. Her words hinted at a clear divide—those who simply disagreed and those who, in her view, aimed to pull the film down for no reason. 'Just like we don't question those who like the film, we can't snatch away opinions of those who don't. But pointless negativity is a different matter,' she added. Propaganda or Reality? On being asked about the 'propaganda' tag, Sharma was blunt. 'Until it happens to you or someone in your family, you don't want to believe it's true,' she said. The actress also revealed that industry applause wasn't exactly overwhelming. 'From the industry's side, I don't think that appreciation came. My parents are not from films, so for me, appreciation depends on how we take it. I did receive personal messages from colleagues, but I can't force them to put it out in public,' she confessed. Political Firestorm in Kerala The backlash reached political circles too. Kerala Chief Minister slammed the National Award jury, saying that honouring The Kerala Story was an 'insult' to Indian cinema's legacy of unity and secular values. He accused the film of defaming the state and spreading communal poison. Director Sudipto Sen, however, insists the story is rooted in fact. The film revolves around three women allegedly forced into conversion and radicalisation by ISIS—a plotline that sparked both sympathy and outrage. As the debate deepens, one thing is clear: the film has divided opinions sharply. To some, it is truth-telling. To others, it's dangerous propaganda. But for Ada Sharma, the focus remains simple—filter the noise, face the villains, and keep moving forward.

4 Members of Gujarat Music Band Killed In Bus-Truck Collision In Madhya Pradesh: Cops
Shivpuri: Four members of a Gujarat-based music band were killed and 11 other persons were injured on Saturday in a collision between a mini bus and a small truck in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, police said. Members of the music band had performed at a programme in Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi and were returning to Gujarat when the accident occurred around 6 am on National Highway 46, around 30 km from the Shivpuri district headquarters, Station House Officer (SHO) Arvind Chari told PTI. He said the bus driver lost control of the wheel, leading to the bus veering into the wrong lane and colliding. The deceased included Hardik Dave (37), a singer, Raja Thakur (28), Ankit Thakur (17), and Rajendra Solanki (47), all members of the band, the SHO said. He said the injured persons have been admitted to hospitals. A preliminary investigation suggests that the driver of the mini bus with 17 people onboard might have dozed off due to fatigue as the troupe was travelling non-stop from Varanasi since 5 pm (Friday), Chari said. The bodies of the four victims have been handed over to their families, who are transporting them to Gujarat. Chari said the condition of the two critically injured persons is stable now. "We are waiting to record the statement of the injured driver after his condition improves and is able to speak," the SHO said.
