'Indian representation has always been there. My film Devi was nominated in 1962 for Palme d'Or. There is an Indian pavilion as well. A lot of people showcase Indian films there. Our films have been recognised, and Cannes gives them a wider platform," she added.

Last Updated: In 17 matches of IPL 2025 for Punjab Kings, Priyansh Arya scored 475 runs. He scored one century against CSK and two half-centuries. Punjab Kings signed Priyansh Arya for Rs 3.80 crore in the mega auction last year, and in his maiden IPL season, the 24-year-old left-handed batter from Delhi impressed everyone with his batting performances. He finished the IPL 2025 season with 475 runs in 17 matches. His tally of 475 runs helps him break the record of most runs in an IPL season by an uncapped Indian batter. Before Arya, the record was in the name of Devdutt Padikkal. In IPL 2020, Padikkal scored 473 runs for RCB. 475 – Priyansh Arya, 2025 473 – Devdutt Padikkal, 2020 439 – Shreyas Iyer, 2015 397 – Tilak Varma, 2022 391 – Rahul Tripathi, 2017 370 – Venkatesh Iyer, 2021 Arya scored one century and two fifties for Shreyas Iyer-led side in IPL 2025. In the IPL 2025 final for PBKS against RCB, currently underway at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Arya opened the innings in the 191-run chase and scored 24 runs from 19 balls with the help of four fours. He added 43 runs in five overs with Prabhsimran Singh (26) for the first wicket before Josh Hazlewood brought an end to his innings. The overall record of scoring most runs in a debut IPL season by an uncapped batter is in the name of Shaun Marsh. The left-handed top-order batter from Australia played 11 matches for PBKS in 2008 and scored 616 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal holds the record for scoring the most runs in an IPL season by an uncapped batter. The Mumbai-based batter played 14 matches for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2023 and scored 628 runs. Priyansh's performance in IPL 2025 Arya made his IPL debut for PBKS against GT in Ahmedabad on March 25 and scored 47 runs from 23 balls. In PBKS' second league match against LSG in Lucknow, he got out for 8 runs from nine balls and was clean bowled for a golden duck by Jofra Archer in the PBKS-RR match on April 5 in Mullanpur.

When Lata Mangeshkar REFUSED to sing for Raj Kapoor's films after demanding royalty: I will sit outside your house till…'
The collaboration between Lata Mangeshkar and Raj Kapoor, though legendary, faced turbulence during 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' when Kapoor replaced Mangeshkar's brother as composer without her consent. This led to a rift, with Mangeshkar demanding royalties and avoiding Kapoor. Eventually, through mediation and Kapoor's persistence, they reconciled, allowing Mangeshkar to continue singing for his films. The legendary collaboration between Lata Mangeshkar and Raj Kapoor gave Bollywood some of its most timeless melodies, but behind the scenes, their relationship was marked by moments of tension and disagreement. One such episode during the making of Satyam Shivam Sundaram revealed the complex dynamics between the iconic singer and the visionary filmmaker—an episode that nearly ended their partnership but ultimately showcased their resilience and mutual respect. Tensions rose during Satyam Shivam Sundaram when Raj Kapoor asked Lata to bring her brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar on board for the music. She agreed, but was later shocked to learn that he had been replaced by Laxmikant-Pyarelal—without her knowledge. This incident led Lata to refuse to sing for Raj for a period, and their relationship was further strained by disagreements over royalties. Despite the ups and downs, their creative partnership left an indelible mark on Indian film music. In Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman, Raj Kapoor's daughter Ritu Nanda detailed a pivotal moment that strained the filmmaker's long-standing collaboration with Lata Mangeshkar. At Raj's request, Lata persuaded her brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar—who was initially reluctant—to compose the music for Satyam Shivam Sundaram, a suggestion originally made by singer Mukesh. However, while Lata was away on a US tour, Raj Kapoor quietly replaced Hridaynath with composer duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal without informing her. The unexpected move caused a serious rift between Lata and Raj, marking a low point in their otherwise iconic association. Lata Mangeshkar found the situation deeply embarrassing, especially since her brother Hridaynath had accepted the film project on her recommendation, only to face negative press that suggested otherwise. Hridaynath felt offended and humiliated by the turn of events. On returning from her tour, Lata confronted Raj Kapoor, questioning why he had replaced her brother after she had convinced him to take on the project at Raj's own request. According to Ritu Nanda, Raj Kapoor's daughter and author of Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman, this incident became a major point of conflict between Lata and Raj. Following the fallout, Lata began demanding royalties from Raj for the songs she recorded, as she did with other producers, and reportedly caused delays in recording sessions, making their professional relationship increasingly strained. To ease the tension between Lata Mangeshkar and Raj Kapoor, Pandit Narendra Sharma, a fatherly figure to Lata, stepped in and persuaded her to lend her voice to Satyam Shivam Sundaram, believing no other singer could do justice to the songs. However, Lata set strict conditions: she agreed to sing only if she could avoid interacting with anyone in the studio. She went as far as requesting Laxmikant Pyarelal to prevent Raj Kapoor from entering the studio during her recording sessions. Lata sang the song and left immediately without speaking to anyone. Around that time, the film Bobby was in production, and she contacted Raj Kapoor to inform him that the singers' association had instructed singers to collect royalties directly from producers. Raj's response was sharp: "I have come here to do business, not distribute royalty." Lata, unfazed, replied, "You have come here for business, and I have come to the zoo," recalling the exchange with a mix of humor and frustration. Tensions reached a boiling point, prompting Raj Kapoor to ask Laxmikant Pyarelal to mediate the ongoing cold war between him and Lata. Though she initially resisted his efforts, Lata eventually received a call from Raj Kapoor, who playfully warned her, 'If you refuse to sing for my film, I will put up a tent right outside your house.' The two eventually reconciled, with Lata going on to sing for Bobby and all the other films Raj Kapoor made throughout his career.

Reflecting on the re-release, veteran actress Rekha said, 'Umrao Jaan is not just a film I acted in — she lives within me, breathes through me, even now. At the time, none of us could have imagined the timelessness of the film, the way it would gently etch itself into the soul of Indian cinema. To see it return to the big screen is like watching an old love letter being opened by a new generation. My heart is full.' The Director of cult classic, Muzaffar Ali, also spoke about its re-release. He shared, 'Umrao Jaan was not just a film—it was a journey into the soul of a lost culture, a forgotten tehzeeb. Through her pain, poetry, and grace, we tried to resurrect the elegance of an era where love and longing spoke in verse. I had actors who brought a lot of heft to their characters, and then there was Rekha, who lived Umrao Jaan and truly immortalised it. I am thrilled that the film is back on the big screen for a whole new generation to discover a time and culture that's very much a part of our being.' Bankrolled by SK Jain & Sons and Integrated Films, Umrao Jaan is scheduled to be re-release on 27th June.
