Aamir Khan on Sitaare Zameen Par
Aamir called Sitaare Zameen Par 'a beautiful story', in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India. He stated, 'Actually, the easiest way I can describe it is that Taare Zameen Par is a very emotional film which makes you cry. Sitaare Zameen Par makes you laugh, it's a humorous film. The theme is similar, of people with different abilities, different intelligence, or with different challenges. But, it's humour as opposed to emotions.'
'In many ways, I feel it's way ahead of Taare Zameen Par, because in Taare Zameen Par, the person who was with the challenge in the film, Ishaan, was helped by my character. In Sitaare Zameen Par, it's the ten people with challenges, they help me, the supposedly normal person. So I feel it goes much further. I hope it turns out well," he further added.
About Sitaare Zameen Par
RS Prasanna, who directed Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, is directing this movie. The film, which is produced under the Aamir Khan Productions banner, features lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and music done by Shankar-Easaan-Loy, who also composed the soundtrack for Taare Zameen Par.

Shedeur Sanders makes QB1 intentions clear with iconic diva song during Browns offseason grind
Shedeur Sanders drops diva-inspired post from OTAs, hints he's ready to lead the Browns (Getty Images) As the Cleveland Browns dive deep into Organized Team Activities (OTAs), one name continues to steal the spotlight—Shedeur Sanders. The rookie quarterback, drafted in the fifth round out of Colorado, is making a powerful impression in Cleveland's crowded QB room. But Sanders isn't just making waves with his arm—his latest social media post might have Browns fans humming a surprising pop classic long after practice is over. Cleveland's new QB1? Shedeur Sanders posts OTAs pics with surprise anthem that says it all Shedeur Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, is blending swagger, talent, and marketing savvy to carve out a space for himself in Cleveland. His Instagram post on Saturday didn't just highlight sharp throws and on-field chemistry—it was set to the catchy rhythm of Kylie Minogue's iconic hit, 'Can't Get You Out of My Head.' It's an unconventional move for a 22-year-old athlete and rapper who just released his debut single 'Perfect Timing' earlier this year. But the message is clear: he wants to be unforgettable. That kind of confidence isn't new for Sanders. Despite a dramatic draft slide that landed him in the fifth round, his energy hasn't wavered. He's already shown fans that he's here to compete, not coast. From his laid-back arrival at rookie minicamp in a 'Legendary' outfit to quickly earning early praise over veterans like Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, Sanders is keeping the spotlight fixed firmly on him. Even when the internet buzzed with rumors that he splurged $500,000 on a luxury car, Sanders coolly brushed it off, showing he's more focused on football than flash. He even made a brief appearance at Travis Hunter's wedding, casually dressed and low-key, before heading back to work. There's a mature balance he's striking—one that hints at a deeper hunger to prove he belongs. The quarterback battle in Cleveland is no small challenge. Standing at 6-foot-2, Sanders may not match Joe Flacco's towering presence, but he's been electric during OTAs. While many rookies might blend into the background, he's been making enough noise to be ranked above his veteran and rookie counterparts by some analysts. Still, it's that combination of charisma and competitiveness that's making Sanders stand out. Whether it's through highlight plays at practice or soundtrack choices that show a self-aware, almost playful side, Shedeur is building a narrative that fans and coaches alike might find hard to ignore. In his own subtle way, Sanders is making a promise—he's not just here for a cameo. As Kylie's voice echoes through his post, the message is unmistakable: 'Can't get you out of my head'—and that's exactly where Shedeur Sanders plans to stay. Also Read: $750K gone!

More Noise, Less Nudge: IPL ads fail to stand out
Mumbai: Despite record-breaking viewership and soaring ad spends, most ads aired during IPL 2025 may have already faded from public memory. While the on-field cricket remains fiercely competitive, advertising creativity appears to be on autopilot, raising serious questions about return on investment and long-term brand impact. This year, the IPL began with what many consider one of the best—and probably the costliest—ads of the season. Dream11's campaign featured Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and a galaxy of celebrities and cricket stars, setting the tone for the tournament and its rivalries. It was witty, memorable and widely shared. But after that strong start, most ads barely made a mark. Take the much-discussed spot featuring Rohit Sharma talking about financial planning, or MS Dhoni promoting a tile adhesive. Both had star power and brand fit, yet the creative left viewers more puzzled than persuaded. Data from TAM Media Research reveals that more than 105 advertisers and 190 brands participated across the first 70 matches of IPL 2025, with a 27% jump in advertiser count and a 28% rise in brand count over last year. The overall ad volume on TV grew marginally, just 0.45% higher than IPL 2024. But the creative bar hasn't risen alongside. Also read: IPL giant GMR tackles rugby with India League, aims to build Olympic-aligned IP 'While a few brave brands are pushing creative boundaries, most of the advertising seems to be working in a safe, high-frequency mode," said Anshu Yardi, vice-president–business partnerships & communication at TAM Media Research. 'The opportunity is still massive, but innovation requires risk, and during IPL many brands may want to play safe." Ad fatigue at a time of infinite content The issue might extend beyond just ineffective ads; it could reflect a deeper cultural shift in how we define 'good" advertising itself. Abhishek Jain, business director at creative agency Virtue India, believes the competition for consumer attention has moved far beyond traditional formats. 'Ads 'seem' boring now compared to the content—quick, snackable pieces of sponsored entertainment —they are competing with," he said. 'We are now finding relatability in culture and culture in content. Traditional ads just don't have that same shareability or zing." The IPL skew: Not made for storytelling Sandeep Goyal, media veteran and chairman of Rediffusion, is blunt in his assessment. 'The mediocrity of IPL actually reflects the slipping standards of creativity overall. But specific to the IPL, for years now, the secondages have been dominated by the money power of VC-funded brands. Regular brands in FMCG just can't afford the IPL rates. So that skew is the starting point," he said. In the context of advertising, 'secondages" refers to the total number of seconds of advertising airtime. Also read: Will CCI's crackdown reshape the ad industry? Media veteran Raj Nayak explains 'The brands that spend—like a lot in BFSI—are really not seasoned campaigners. They are out to buy noticeability and brand recall, not build emotive narratives that endear them to consumers. Most ads are focused on product superiority, much like 'explainer' videos." He also takes aim at the overuse of celebrities. 'The less said about celebrities, the better. It is now a formula. Nothing more. No attempt to differentiate. No attempt to craft a story that engages. Most celebrities are high on recognition but low on emulatability. A Rohit Sharma dispensing advice on investing! MSD (Dhoni) talking of paints. Consumers just shrug off most such ads. They may remember the brand and even the celebrity, but do not necessarily buy as per the celebrity's endorsement because the pitch carries no real conviction." Creativity costs, and time is a luxury A chief marketing officer (CMO) of a major consumer brand, speaking on condition of anonymity, admitted that IPL advertising may never become a true creative showcase like the Super Bowl. 'You don't get everything—budgets are tight, and IPL runs every day for nearly two months. Dream11, Swiggy, ZooZoos from Vodafone—they've created brilliant ads in the past. But those are rare exceptions," the executive said. 'Most CMOs simply don't get the time or investment needed to make IPL campaigns creatively rich. The result is rinse-repeat formats, celebrity plug-ins, and safe messaging." Marquee moment or media burst? Another senior executive from a brand that advertised during IPL 2025 wondered whether advertisers truly understand what a marquee property should be. 'If you're treating IPL as a launch pad, that's fine. But how much can you really build when you're racing against time and media costs just to deliver a message?" According to them, IPL's biggest strength—aggregation of eyeballs—is also its biggest creative limitation. 'If 60-65 crore people are watching, that's huge. But then you're up against frequency fatigue, creative limits and the ticking clock. It's hard to craft something with depth when you're just trying to be everywhere, fast." Also read: Rooter picks up exclusive digital rights for esports tournament BGMI Masters Series The executive added, 'Are people even anticipating IPL ads the way they used to? Are we just spending for attention, or are we creating anything truly memorable? The search for the elusive advertising season continues… is IPL the Nirvana?" So, can the IPL ever be India's Super Bowl? Everyone wants to recreate the cultural buzz and longevity that Super Bowl ads in the US command. But experts agree that for IPL to reach that level, Indian advertisers need to move beyond formula, spend more time on narrative and treat the IPL window not just as a media buy, but as a storytelling opportunity. 'Campaigns are not being created for the long run," Goyal added. 'They are usually for one season, and then everybody feels the need for a refresh because digital has created attention-deficiency syndrome." Until that mindset changes, IPL may remain a grand stage—but one where few ads deserve an encore.

Hawk confessed on air that he had 'no update from this situation,' suggesting Rodgers is keeping everyone — including his inner circle — in the dark.

The model, activist, and daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens was briefly linked to Rodgers in 2023. Their relationship was described as 'more than friends, but it's casual... low-key for now,' and ended quietly last year when Rodgers confirmed his relationship with Brittani. Edens has since turned her focus to social activism and entrepreneurship, founding Little Ray Media and launching gender-equity campaigns. She recently shared a powerful Instagram post critiquing the double standards women face, particularly in the public eye. 'Like all misogyny, it's language designed to limit a woman's power,' she wrote, sparking discussions about sexism and the scrutiny placed on women over 35.
