Their real-life bond adds emotional resonance to the film's central theme — the relationship between a mentor and his protégé. Yug's passion for the franchise, natural charisma, and voice impact make him a fitting choice to carry forward the Karate Kid legacy for a new generation of Indian audiences.
Set in New York City, Karate Kid: Legends follows kung fu prodigy Li Fong as he adjusts to life in a new school, forges unexpected bonds, and is drawn into an intense showdown with a local karate champion. Under the guidance of his teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and the legendary Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Li embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery, courage, and growth.

Hyderabad gamers hail Online Gaming Bill as boost for esports, curb on addiction
Gamers, creators and developers in Hyderabad on Wednesday welcomed the passage of the Online Gaming Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha, describing it as a long-awaited step to curb the menace of real-money gaming (RMG) while opening up space for esports and skill-based gaming to grow. For Vinay Vangala, a Panjagutta resident who lodged a police complaint in March against online betting platforms, the development felt deeply personal. 'It is a relief to see this addressed at a national level,' he said. 'Both the State and Central governments have been clear about ending this menace. I am thankful to the Hyderabad and Cyberabad police for going after offenders, whether common people or celebrities.' Vinay admitted that he too had once been tempted. 'My friends in Ameerpet had told me about quick money through online games. I almost fell for it but after doing some research, I realised it was illegal. That was when I approached the Panjagutta police and filed a complaint.' His complaint encouraged others to share their struggles. Hyderabad's esports and gaming community have welcomed the Bill for shifting the conversation away from gambling-like activities. Dhanu Dino, a Malkajgiri resident and popular gaming influencer who runs Telugu Gaming FF with over 2.45 million YouTube subscribers, called it a chance to redirect energy toward esports. 'This move will push focus back to esports. The Telugu influencer community had already distanced itself from RMG two years ago. The future is esports, not betting apps.' Dhanu explained that a successful, thriving career can be built sans the RMG method. 'If you just create good content on YouTube, Instagram or streaming apps, you can be assured of a career. I am buying a house this year with the money I earned through esports, YouTube revenue and streaming; never RMG or ads,' he added. He hoped the new law would mean 'the next generation won't even know what RMG is'. Meanwhile, developers say that the Bill is an overdue chance to separate video gaming from the taint of betting platforms. Sameer Chengappa, a game designer at Funfinity Interactive currently working on AS:RA Ashen Skies: Radiant Arena, emphasised that esports and traditional gaming should never be confused with gambling. 'The problem is that video games are being lumped together with RMG in the digital space. RMG is not gaming, it is closer to gambling which has its own regulations. Esports, video games and online gambling are all very different,' he said. He added, 'If the same rules applying to RMG are imposed on us, the industry simply cannot grow. This initiative was about drawing that line clearly.' 'Though this move cannot undo the loss we suffered, maybe others can be spared from such a fate,' said Sai Prasad, a private company employee from Musheerabad, adding that he lost his friend to online gambling addiction last year.

"If you got ambition" - Paul Pierce advises men to value loyalty over pretty girls (Image Source: Getty Images) Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce has always been called The Truth, and now he is proving why. On his podcast this week, with co-host Azar Farideh beside him, he gave men advice that made people stop and think. He did not talk about basketball. He discussed relationships, choices, and life. His comments about women, ambition, and loyalty immediately became much discussed online and became one of the most discussed events of the day. Paul Pierce shares life advice with co-host Azar Farideh on podcast On Tuesday, August 19, Paul Pierce joined his co-host Azar Farideh on the new episode of Truth After Dark. The show streamed online, and fans everywhere could tune in. At the 21:19 mark, Pierce paused and spoke with a serious face. 'This is what I got to say today, and this has been on my mind,' Pierce said. He told men to stand tall, stay focused, and avoid being distracted. His tone was sharp. His message was simple. 'Chest up, chin out, men. If you got ambition, if you are really grinding, leave these little pretty girls alone.' The clip quickly spread across social media. Fans cut short videos from the podcast and shared them on Instagram and X. Some laughed, some agreed, and some questioned the way he framed women by numbers. Paul Pierce tells how men should value loyalty over looks By the 22:57 mark of the podcast, Paul Pierce gave more details. He told men not to chase women only for looks. He said many look at Instagram and call a woman a nine or a ten. But, in his words, those ratings do not matter in real life. 'Get you a five or a six,' Pierce said. 'Maybe a seven. Someone who is going to put elbow into it. Someone who will be down for you 100 percent. Someone who will fight tooth and nail with you.' The 47-year-old Celtics champion explained that true value comes from women who stay when life gets hard. He said men should not just chase after beauty, but should also seek loyalty, effort, and heart. His honesty, as always, carried the same energy he showed on the court. The comments sparked fast reactions. One fan said: He Right Don't Let These B******Fade You…2 Pac ..Can't Fade Me Other one said: Old niggas tryna gatekeep the pretty women ain't crazy ?? Another fan said: It's crazy that it takes yall this old to realize this. I knew this was the game since I was in middle school. But no matter the views, his words reached thousands the same night.
