"Shakira was ahead of me, and her dress had a lot of metal pins and such. No one wanted to go behind her because she's a big star, but I thought it was okay because she was in my group. So when she was going through the metal detector, it had to beep because of all the metal on her dress, and I had the Kirpan under my cape, so I just walked through with her,' revealed the actor.
'I thought, 'If we get caught, we both will; if not, then not.'
I had the Kirpan under my cape. They checked Shakira but didn't check me," he added.

Image via: X/C9Mang0 Beerio Kart 2025 quickly took a dark turn when Joseph "Mang0" Marquezly began to make inappropriate gestures toward several of the female streamers, one of them most notably Maya Higa. Some clips from the stream went viral as they showed Mang0 humping the air near the participants, including Maya, ExtraEmily, and Cinna. At one grotesque moment, Maya can be seen physically pulling away as Mang0 gyrates dangerously close to her head in a gesture that was deemed by viewers as invasive and extremely disturbing. Much of the footage has, since then, been deleted. But the story was out. The online community exploded with condemnation, with one Reddit user summarizing the sentiment, "Zero social intelligence."

In an interview with Manorama Online, Baiju addressed the speculation, calling it 'baseless and misleading.' The 'Nunakkuzhi' actor said that there are some reports making the rounds on the internet and he doesn't understand why people spread fake news without knowing the exact truth. He said. 'There is absolutely no truth to the claims being made.' What really happened at the meeting Baiju explained that this was his first time attending the AMMA general body meeting in three years, and he had arrived late.

Not 'Terminator', but this comedy earned Arnold Schwarzenegger most money
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger surprised his fans when he revealed that his film 'Twins' was his most profitable film of his career, despite being known for his superhit franchise 'Terminator', reported Variety. During an interview on the 'Watch What Happens Live' talk show, as quoted by Variety, Arnold said that 'Twins' delivered him 40 million USD. It was a comedy-drama that starred Arnold and Danny DeVito in the lead roles, marking their first collaboration on the big screen. The movie was released in 1988. "Well, number one was 'Twins' because we got no money for the salary, but ownership with a piece of the back end. It was fantastic. We went all the way to the bank with that," said Arnold as quoted by Variety. When asked if he made more than 20 million USD from the success of 'Twins', Schwarzenegger said his final payday was more than that. Asked if it exceeded 40 million USD, the actor replied, "It was more than that. It was more than any movie I ever made," as quoted by Variety. 'Twins' starred Schwarzenegger and DeVito as fraternal twin brothers. While Schwarzenegger was an iconic action star at the time thanks to 'The Terminator' films, 'Predator' and 'Conan the Barbarian,' his comedy chops were untested before that. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ukraine: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo "Why would they [cast me in a comedy?]" Schwarzenegger recently told his son, Patrick, during a chat for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series. "They said, 'Are you crazy? The more people this guy kills on-screen, the more money we make. Why would we change that?' That was the dialogue until Ivan Reitman and Danny DeVito came along," said Arnold as quoted by Variety. Nobody wanted to make a comedy with Schwarzenegger, so the actor claims that he devised a plan to increase his chances of appearing in comedy films. He said, "If we don't take any salaries, we can shoot the movie for 16.5 million USD. We worked out a deal where we got 40% of the backend of the movie. It happened to be the best deal we've ever made," as quoted by Variety. According to Variety, 'Twins' grossed 216 million USD worldwide in theatres and profited even more on home video. Despite the film's huge paydays, Schwarzenegger never got around to making a sequel with DeVito. They planned a follow-up titled 'Triplets.' They also decided to add Eddie Murphy to the cast. But Reitman "passed away before we wanted to start shooting," said Arnold as quoted by Variety. Meanwhile, on the work front, the second Season of Schwarzenegger's action comedy 'Fubar' premiered on Netflix on June 12. Among his upcoming projects is the holiday movie The Man with the Bag, in which he'll play Santa Claus, reported People.
