Alappuzha Gymkhana plot and cast
Alappuzha Gymkhana features the story of five friends from Alappuzha who have completed their 12th-grade exams. However, when the results arrive, 4 of them fail, which leads them to be uncertain about their college admissions.
As the protagonist, Jojo (Naslen), searches for alternatives to gain admission, he figures out that the best way is through a sports quota. Further down the line, boxing seems like the best option for them, and altogether, they engage in it.
What follows is how they manage to overcome the struggles in this coming-of-age sports comedy drama, figuring out a newfound passion.
In addition to Naslen, the film features an ensemble cast of actors, including Lukman Avaran, Ganapathi, Sandeep Pradeep, Franco Francis, Habish Rahman (Baby Jean), Shiva Hariharan, Anagha Maya Ravi, and many more.

'RIP to a real one': Fans accuse Taylor Swift of altering her face to match Travis Kelce's WAG aesthetic
's recent public appearance at a family wedding with boyfriend has ignited a fresh wave of internet speculation—not about their rumored engagement, but about Swift's changing appearance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The pop superstar, who has long remained silent on plastic surgery chatter, is now facing harsh criticism and curiosity from fans who claim her face 'looks weird' and 'overdone. ' Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend family wedding amid engagement buzz On June 6, 2025, Swift and Kelce were photographed at the wedding of his cousin Tanner Corum and bride Samantha Peck. The glamorous couple looked picture-perfect, but it wasn't the romantic backdrop or their matching energy that drew the most attention online. Instead, some fans zeroed in on Swift's appearance, speculating that the 14-time Grammy winner may have had recent cosmetic procedures. 'She looks really weird lately,' a Reddit user posted. 'I feel like she got more plastic surgery, right?' Others echoed similar sentiments, pointing out how her 'cheeks look strange and overdone,' suggesting cheek fillers may be the cause. Fans react harshly: from cheek filler theories to Kardashian comparisons Swifties took to X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit to share their concern. 'I don't remember her face ever being that full,' one fan wrote. Another speculated that her eyes looked 'a little weird' and that 'her face looks super tight like she can't make real emotions.' Some even compared her evolving look to iconic figures known for plastic surgery, saying, 'She be looking like Kris Jenner more and more every day,' and 'Yeah, she reminds me of Joan Rivers in her later years… already. ' Rather than slamming Swift entirely, a few fans offered a different take, wishing celebrities would be more transparent. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'RIP to a real one,' one user wrote of Joan Rivers. 'People who get plastic surgery… should take notes… Own it.' Some observers blame Swift's look on her new 'WAG lifestyle' (wives and girlfriends of athletes), speculating that she may be altering her image to fit the glitz and aesthetic of the NFL world. 'She adapts so much to the people surrounding her and this also shows in her appearance imo,' one Redditor noted. Also Read: While Swift has yet to respond to the criticism, one thing is clear: even a wedding guest appearance alongside Kelce isn't safe from scrutiny in the social media age.

Did PK producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra offer Rs 8 crore to stop Akshay Kumar's OMG? Director Umesh Shukla breaks silence
Akshay Kumar 's film OMG – Oh My God! became quite a hit at the box office. Also starring Paresh Rawal in the lead role, the film was highly praised by fans and critics. At that time, there were reports that the film's subject is quite similar to Aamir Khan's PK, and that the producer offered Rs 8 crore to OMG director Umesh Shukla to stop the film. Now, the filmmaker has finally broken his silence on the rumors and dismissed them. In a recent interview with Friday Talkies, OMG director Umesh Shukla said that people spoke about Oh My God's similarities with PK. Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and writer Abhijat Joshi had watched his play on similar subjects. Talking about similar genres, he shared that even if someone is working on a similar subject, there will naturally be some resemblance. He compared it to the romantic genre where 'I love you' is present in all the projects. Umesh further talked about Rs 8 crore rumors and shared, 'Uss time afwah thi ki PK mein Vidhu Vinod Chopra sahab jo the unhone mujhe 8 crore offer kiye the film nahi banane ke liye. Par wo sab afwayein thi. Aesa kuch hua nahi tha.' (At that time, there were rumors that Vidhu Vinod Chopra sir, who was part of PK, had offered me Rs 8 crores to not make the film. But those were just rumors. Nothing like that actually happened). He also added, 'Wo apne aap mein itne talented log hai. Rajkummar Hirani sahab, Abhijat, Vidhu Vinod Chopra sahab, Aamir Khan sahab, sab log itne talented hai ki wo itni unchi harkat karte hi nahi the paisa dene ke liye. Yeh sab uchli thi uss samay par aisa kuch nahi tha.' (They are all incredibly talented individuals—Rajkumar Hirani sir, Abhijat, Vidhu Vinod Chopra sir, Aamir Khan sir—they are way above doing something like that, offering money to stop a film. These were just talks that floated around back then, but there was no truth to it). Earlier, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that OMG 2 director Amit Rai is gearing up for the film Oh My Dog, which will be an adorable story about kids and dogs. A fresh star cast to be featured and even Pankaj Tripathi might have a cameo in it.
