Rashmika Cheers For Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom Trailer; Suniel Shetty Slammed For Recent Remark
Rashmika Mandanna praised Vijay Deverakonda's acting skills. In other news, Suniel Shetty faced flak for suggesting wives focus on children, while husbands build careers. Vijay Deverakonda's rumoured girlfriend and actress Rashmika Mandanna was mighty impressed with the trailer of his upcoming film 'Kingdom'. 'Wohhhooo!! What a trailer this is! Madness! Ahh! Got to wait 4 more days after watching this cool of a fair! @thedeverakonda I always keep telling you- you are something else! One day I wish I learn my craft so well that one day I can do the 50% of acting that you do! You are just …. Something else!" she wrote, while praising Vijay Deverakonda. Suniel Shetty has yet again found himself in hot water as the actor spoke about husband and wife balancing responsibilities. The actor's statement suggested that a wife needs to understand that if a husband is busy building his career, then she should focus on the child. This statement has now invited severe social media backlash. For More: Suniel Shetty Faces Severe Backlash For 'Wife Should Take Care Of Kids' Remark: 'Just Stop Talking' Nearly a month after the sudden passing of industrialist Sunjay Kapur—former husband of Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor—new developments have surfaced surrounding a staggering ₹30,000 crore property dispute. Kapur, who served as the chairman of Sona Comstar, died on June 12 in what was initially described as a cardiac arrest, but the circumstances of his death are now facing mounting scrutiny from his own family. Adding to the unfolding drama, a Dainik Jagran report suggests that Karisma Kapoor may also be exploring a legal claim to a share of his vast estate. However, no official statement has been released by Karisma or her representatives regarding this. Aneet Padda, who shot to fame with Mohit Suri's recently released film 'Saiyaara' will be seen next in a compelling courtroom drama on an OTT platform, reports Peeping Moon. Despite her exclusive three-film contract with Yash Raj Films like Saiyaara co-star Ahaan Panday, Aneet had already shot the non-YRF project 'Nyaya' before landing her career-defining role in 'Saiyaara.'

Saiyaara Beats BLACKPINK, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber To Top Spotify's Global Viral 50
Last Updated: Saiyaara becomes 1st Indian song to top Spotify Global Viral 50, beating BLACKPINK, Billie Eilish & Justin Bieber. A milestone moment for Indian music. The Saiyaara wave shows no signs of slowing down. The film's hauntingly beautiful title track has not only taken over Indian cinema halls but is now echoing across global playlists, creating history as the first-ever Indian song to top Spotify's Global Viral 50 chart. Sung by Faheem Abdullah and composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Saiyaara has surged past international music heavyweights like Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, BLACKPINK, and Sabrina Carpenter, marking a watershed moment for Indian music on the world stage. Celebrating the milestone, composer Tanishk Bagchi shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, 'We did it. Saiyaara is now #1 on Global Viral Spotify. This moment belongs to every heartbeat behind the song." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tanishk (@tanishk_bagchi) Bagchi went on to thank the creative team, writing, 'Thank you to Mohit Suri sir, the man with the vision. Irshad bhai, for penning words that pierced hearts. Arsalan & Faheem, your music and your voice brought the sky closer. YRF, for backing us with belief. And to every listener, every sharer, every dreamer — this is yours too." He concluded with a powerful declaration, 'Indian music isn't rising. It's already flying. Saiyaara is the proof." For years, Tanishk Bagchi's name has been synonymous with Bollywood hits—but also with controversy. Known for delivering chartbusters at lightning speed, the composer has often been criticised for relying too heavily on remakes. But with Saiyaara, the soulful title track from Mohit Suri's latest romantic drama, Bagchi feels he has finally broken free of the label—and found long-overdue vindication. 'People used to say that I only recreated songs. But they didn't know that I have composed a number of good original songs as well," he told Hindustan Times. 'Par ab Saiyaara se logo ko pata chal raha hai ki Tanishk Bagchi original mein bhi baap hai (People are finally realising that I'm a master at originals too). I'm really loving it all. I've received a lot of encouragement." Meanwhile, the film Saiyaara is rewriting box office records. Headlined by newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the Mohit Suri directorial opened with a staggering ₹21 crore, the highest-ever first-day collection for a debutant-led film. Within just eight days, it stormed past the ₹200 crore mark, with packed shows continuing to dominate theatres.
