Raghava Lawrence's gesture proves true stardom lies in service
Actor, director, and producer Raghava Lawrence has once again demonstrated his compassion and generosity by stepping forward to support a farm labourer's family who tragically lost their hard-earned life savings to termites. The family, who had buried a box containing ₹1 lakh in the ground to safeguard their savings, was devastated to find the money completely destroyed by termite infestation.
The heart-wrenching story, which gained attention after being aired on several television news channels, moved many, including Lawrence, who is known for his philanthropic nature. Upon learning about their plight, the actor took swift action to replace the lost amount.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Lawrence shared his response: 'Hi Everyone, I came across the news that a coolie family lost one lakh of their many years of savings due to termites. My heart sank thinking about what they must've gone through. So, I'm happy to contribute the lost money for them. Thanks to the media and people involved in reaching this news to me. #Maatram #Serviceisgod.'
Lawrence also posted a touching video where he is seen personally handing over a box containing ₹1 lakh to the affected family, recreating the moment in a way that offered not just financial relief but emotional comfort. Praised widely for his kindness, Lawrence has a consistent record of placing people over publicity. In 2023, during the promotions of Jigarthanda Double X, he publicly requested his fans not to attend his film events, stating that he didn't want to waste their time or money. 'You spend on bus fare, stay, and food. Instead, spend that money on your parents,' he had said.
This latest gesture reaffirms Raghava Lawrence's belief that true stardom lies in service, not spectacle.

Call of Duty 2026 story and setting leaked ahead of reveal
Image via Twitter/TheGhostOfHope. Call of Duty has been following the yearly release model for some time now, and 2026 is not going to be any difference. Although, there are speculations regarding a CoD title in 2025 which is supposed to be a sequel to Black Ops 6. However, new leaks have surfaced regarding Call of Duty 2026, which is in turn rumored to be a worthy successor to the last Modern Warfare installment. These leaks have revealed the setting, story and even the potential name of the game. Call of Duty 2026 title and campaign details leaked Call of Duty 2026 is going to be sequel of Modern Warfare 3. | Image via Activision. According to popular leaker @TheGhostOfHope , the title of Call of Duty 2026 is going to be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 사 and is currently in active development under Infinity Ward. The leaker also claimed that this game will take its Campaign in both South Korea and North Korea in a 'significant role.' He has also stated that players will don the uniforms of three major factions - 141, SAS, and Republic of Korea Army - to infiltrate and take down Makarov and the Konni Group, who are actually doing false flag operations to instigate World War 3. Now this is not the first time that the Korean peninsula is claimed to be the setting of 2026's Call of Duty title as a few months before Vanguard came, there were several rumors stirred up claiming this location as the main setting of the game in 2021. However, those rumors never came to reality, but this time, it might be different. South and North Korea are two intriguing settings which never have been explored to its full potential in Call of Duty history. So, it will be a breather of fresh air for the fans to see a completely new backdrop. Also, the '사' sign in the rumored title is actually '4' in Korean language. So, the rumor of the campaign location makes more sense now. This title is believed to pick up right from the moment it was left in Modern Warfare 3, when General Shepherd was killed by Captain Price, in turn Soap died at the hands of Makarov. Additionally, "some" futuristic weapons and technology would be included, but the game would still be "mostly modern." Furthermore, the resurrection of the DMZ mode with its third option was confirmed. However, nothing has been confirmed yet and we should take these informations as grains of salt until Activision comes into the field.
