Chetan Bhagat on Sardaar Ji 3 row, says ‘Humein Pakistan ke mooh nahin lagna…', then appreciation for Diljit Dosanjh
The Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa-starrer Sardaar Ji 3 has been embroiled in controversy for starring Pakistani actor Hania Aamir. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees called for a boycott of Pakistani artists, singers, and technicians in the Indian film industry. A similar ban was also imposed after the 2019 Pulwama attack. Sardaar Ji 3, though not releasing in India, has been facing criticism for its overseas rollout and Hania's involvement. When asked by NDTV about the raging controversy surrounding Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3, author Chetan Bhagat heaped praise on the singer and actor, calling him "exceptionally talented." He further asserted that Dosanjh has stayed true to his principles, stating that he wanted to be in Bollywood -- "but he didn't cut his hair." "I love Diljit. He is one of the truly exceptionally talented individuals. I admire him. He sticks to his principles. He wanted to be in Bollywood, but he didn't cut his hair... He still became a star. It's not a joke — anyone can get tempted. His music, his concerts, his reels are hilarious," Bhagat said. At the event, the author and speaker said it made no sense to ban a film that was also produced by members of the production team. "That film is not Diljit's alone. No film just belongs to the actor. At least 300 people must have worked on the film. Even if you have an issue with Diljit, penalising those people is not fair. So much money has gone into it. Banning a film is too much. You don't like the film, don't watch it. The calls for his boycott are highly unfair." Chetan Bhagat also said, "We don't need to hate anyone to keep our country safe." "Humein Pakistan ke mooh nahin lagna, humein apni country ko safe and secure karna hai (We don't have to engage with Pakistan, we just have to keep our country safe and secure). Look at our level, then look at theirs. We don't need to hate anyone to keep our country safe. If they trouble us, we'll teach them a lesson. Our hate will make them win," he added.

Meet the only Indian actor with two pan-India films in the ₹1,000 cr club, not Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Allu Arjun
Star power remains one of the strongest indicators of success in the Indian film industry. A recent example is Salman Khan. Despite Sikandar receiving underwhelming reviews, fans still flocked to theatres, proving the power of Salman's stardom. This brings us to the only Indian actor who has achieved a box office feat that even superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, and Allu Arjun haven't. With not one, but two pan-India films crossing the ₹ 1,000 crore mark globally, this icon has set a record in the industry. It is none other than Prabhas. With Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Kalki 2898 AD, Prabhas has carved a place for himself in Indian cinema history, earning the title of the undisputed pan-India superstar. While Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun, and Vicky Kaushal are among the biggest actors in Indian cinema, none of them technically have two pan-India films that have each crossed the ₹ 1,000 crore mark worldwide like Prabhas. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan were massive blockbusters of 2023, crossing ₹ 1,000 crore globally. However, Shah Rukh is still not the only Indian actor with two pan-India films in the ₹ 1,000 crore club. This is because, although both films did cross ₹ 1,000 crore globally, they were primarily Hindi-language films with dubbed versions in other languages. Hence, they don't qualify as true-blue pan-India multilingual releases like Prabhas's films, which were not only shot but also marketed in multiple languages. Similarly, Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise was a huge success during a lull period at the box office. As per Sacnilk, the film crossed the ₹ 350 crore mark worldwide but failed to reach the ₹ 500 crore milestone. Its sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, became the fastest Indian movie to cross the ₹ 1,000 crore mark at the worldwide box office, the tracker reported. However, it is the only film of the actor to have crossed that milestone. As for Vicky Kaushal, although he starred in blockbusters like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Sanju, his latest, Chaava, didn't cross the threshold despite an impressive business at the box office, raking in ₹ 807.88 crore. Released in 2017, Baahubali 2 became a cultural phenomenon. With its breathtaking visuals, grand storytelling, and Prabhas's powerful portrayal of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, the film shattered records, collecting over ₹ 1,788 crore worldwide and ₹ 1,030.42 crore in India, as per Sacnilk. It marked a turning point in Indian cinema, proving regional films' potential on the global stage. Last year, he replicated the success with Kalki 2898 AD alongside Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. The futuristic sci-fi epic, directed by Nag Ashwin, brought Prabhas back into the spotlight. Based on the Mahabharata with science fiction elements, Kalki was a visual spectacle and a magnum opus in itself. Within weeks, it joined the ₹ 1,000 crore club, earning ₹ 1,042.25 crore worldwide and ₹ 646.31 crore in India, according to Sacnilk. Friday marks 1 year since the release of Kalki. Kalki revolved around the epic tale of Lord Krishna cursing Ashwatthama to eternal suffering, only for destiny to set him on a path of redemption by protecting the woman carrying the final avatar of Vishnu, Kalki. The Kalki 2898 AD sequel starring Prabhas is already in the works. The film ended with a title card announcing the Kalki 2898 AD Cinematic Universe. Confirming the sequel, it read: 'To be continued…' Besides Kalki, Prabhas has several projects lined up. He will be starring in the romantic horror comedy The Raaja Saab. Directed by Maruthi, Prabhas plays a triple role in the film. It also features Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt. He also has Hanu Raghavapudi's directorial Fauji as his next. The actor was also roped in for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, which would have reunited him with Deepika Padukone. However, the actress has now been replaced by Triptii Dimri.

David Beckham Hospitalized After Injury: Victoria Beckham Shares Recovery Update
David Beckham is on the mend after a recent injury landed him in the hospital. His wife, Victoria Beckham, shared the news on June 27 through her Instagram Stories, posting a photo of the 50-year-old former football star in a hospital bed with his right arm in a large blue sling. In the image, David is seen smiling in a hospital gown while tucked under the covers. Victoria captioned the post with a heartfelt message: "Get well soon daddy." The couple shares four children: Brooklyn Beckham, Romeo Beckham, Cruz Beckham, and Harper Beckham. 'Get well soon' message and bracelet from home In a follow-up Instagram story, Victoria shared another image, this time of David holding a bracelet that read "GET WELL SOON.' He appeared to be resting at home, suggesting he had been discharged from the hospital. The exact cause of David's injury has not been shared publicly. However, his positive appearance and the support from his family indicate that he's on the road to recovery. Just weeks before the injury, David Beckham celebrated Father's Day with a touching message about his family. In an Instagram post, he wrote: 'Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father. There is no greater gift in life than making me a dad. Happy Father's Day. I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.' David's message reflected the deep bond he shares with Victoria Beckham and their children, even as reports continue to swirl about tensions within the family. Rumors about Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz While David recovers, there is ongoing speculation about a rift between him, Victoria, and their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, along with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham. Recent claims suggested that Brooklyn has cut off communication with his parents. However, sources close to the couple told E! News that the rumors are 'another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth.' Brooklyn and Nicola have also reportedly hired a new lawyer. A source clarified that the move was not for reputation management, but rather 'to set the record straight, combat spread of misinformation.'
