King movie's latest update amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan
It was reported that King was all set to start rolling on May 16, 2025, but according to a report in Midday, the makers have decided to delay the shoot due to ongoing tension between India and Pakistan. While the ceasefire has been announced, the situation is not totally normal between the two countries. A source told the tabloid, 'Despite the ceasefire, things remain sensitive and the situation is dynamic. So, everyone is wondering whether this would be a good time to take their projects on floors. The team of King has been working towards May 16, which is when they're expected to begin filming. But a slight delay won't be surprising as it would be preferable to go on set when the atmosphere is less tense.'

King Charles 'livid' as favorite holiday tradition may be canceled
Image credits: Getty Images Imagine waiting for the holidays to be able to practice your favourite hobby and then getting the news that you won't be able to do that because of a certain reason. Disheartening, right? Well, it seems King Charles is sharing this emotion as his cherished pastime during the holiday season could be facing a cancellation. The Sun recently reported there is a potential shortage of pheasants at the king's Sandringham Estate and thus his chances of a full shooting calendar could be affected this winter. According to many, shooting is one of his favourite pastimes during the holiday season which might not be a part of this year's calendar. 'King Charles III is livid, frustrated and disappointed, reflecting both his deep personal attachment to the cherished family tradition and his broader commitment to his royal heritage,' said Hilary Fordwich, British royal expert to Fox News Digital. 'He's also annoyed that the mishap reflects rather poorly on the management of Sandringham, which he inherited from his mother, Queen Elizabeth II,' she explained. 'The shoot gathers his extended royal family and guests, reinforcing bonds while upholding a long-standing aristocratic tradition. The root of the problem is that Charles has always opposed importing birds from elsewhere, preferring to maintain the estate's game population. The eco-friendly approach has failed.' Image credits: Getty Images The tradition which serves as an occasion of gathering for friends and family is known as the Boxing Day shoot and is described as the central part of the royal family's holiday plans. However, due to the decreased number of birds the king who is suffering from an undisclosed form of cancer, might have to cancel it. 'Allegedly, King Charles is disappointed that one of his favourite Christmas family traditions may not take place this year,' added Helena Chard, British broadcaster and photographer. 'The Sandringham shoot is questionable due to a lack of Sandringham pheasants on the estate. It seems the family will have to bond, enjoy and celebrate over another hobby, or possibly clay pigeon shoots are the way forward.' While natural reasons might be the cause for the shortage of birds, according to The Sun, a long-serving gamekeeper who was responsible for managing the bird population was recently let go in a staff shake-up thus resulting in the lack of birds. 'It was a total cock-up,' a source claimed to the outlet. 'No birds, no bang, just red faces. The king wasn't having it.' According to Chard, the shortage might be for the better and make the king review the tradition which has been condemned by animal rights groups.

Deepshikha Nagpal recalls simplicity of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan on sets: ‘Everybody wants vanity vans today'
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal recently opened up about the stark contrast between Bollywood stars of the 90s and the current generation of actors. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, she reflected on the simplicity and humility she witnessed on sets back in the day — particularly recalling her time shooting Koyla (1997) with Shah Rukh Khan . Deepshikha pointed out how acting wasn't considered a 'respected' profession earlier, and the focus was purely on the craft. 'Acting was not a profession before; it was not a respected job. Now, everybody wants to become an actor; they want vanity vans and staff. I have seen Shah Rukh Khan working in Koyla. There were no vanity vans back then. He would just sleep there in the midst of coal mine machinery and flashing lights. The focus was on work. That we need to finish this scene by this date,' she said. 04:11 SRK-Salman's 'Kat' fight! Salman Khan too had no entourage in the early days Deepshikha also recalled the simplicity of Salman Khan during his earlier years in the industry. She said that both Shah Rukh and Salman were grounded and approachable on set. 'I've even seen how Salman once shot for films. Big stars would get a big makeup room. He would walk alone from the set to his makeup room without a bodyguard or security.

Royal tradition under pressure: King Charles ‘livid' as cherished Christmas tradition faces threat- here's why
King Charles (File photo) King Charles is reportedly "livid" about potentially missing a cherished Christmas tradition this year. Recent reports from The Sun indicate a shortage of pheasants at Sandringham Estate, potentially affecting the winter shooting schedule. This activity is traditionally one of the monarch's preferred holiday pursuits. "King Charles III is livid, frustrated and disappointed, reflecting both his deep personal attachment to the cherished family tradition and his broader commitment to his royal heritage," British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "He's also annoyed that the mishap reflects rather poorly on the management of Sandringham, which he inherited from his mother, Queen Elizabeth II," she further said. "The shoot gathers his extended royal family and guests, reinforcing bonds while upholding a long-standing aristocratic tradition. The root of the problem is that Charles has always opposed importing birds from elsewhere, preferring to maintain the estate's game population. The eco-friendly approach has failed<" she added. The reduced bird population might force the 76-year-old monarch, currently receiving cancer treatment, to cancel the traditional Boxing Day shoot, a significant component of royal holiday celebrations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo British photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital, "Allegedly, King Charles is disappointed that one of his favorite Christmas family traditions may not take place this year. The Sandringham shoot is questionable due to a lack of Sandringham pheasants on the estate. It seems the family will have to bond, enjoy and celebrate over another hobby, or possibly clay pigeon shoots are the way forward." "King Charles may have felt a fleeting healthy upset, but in light of recent times, with the slimmed-down monarchy, cancer battles and more... the monarchy has found their typical ways changing as they are forced to be flexible," she added. A veteran gamekeeper, tasked with overseeing the bird population at the estate, was reportedly dismissed during recent personnel changes, leading to a deficit, as indicated by The Sun. A source informed the publication, "It was a total cock-up. No birds, no bang, just red faces. The king wasn't having it." Per Chard's account, despite the king's disappointment, he remains open to adjustments. The sovereign is currently adapting to a new schedule whilst undergoing weekly cancer treatments, all whilst maintaining his commitment to full-time royal responsibilities. The expert highlighted that the scarcity could lead the king to reassess the hunting custom, which has received criticism from organisations advocating for animal welfare. Meanwhile, royal commentator Ian Pelham Turner believes the altered arrangements might enable the king to focus on reconciliation with his younger son, Prince Harry . The Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle withdrew from their senior royal duties in 2020, stating they faced intolerable media scrutiny from British newspapers and insufficient backing from the palace. They now live in California. Following their departure from royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have voiced their concerns through various media appearances and Harry's revealing 2023 book, "Spare." Insiders familiar with the prince, 40, have informed People magazine about the king's apparent reluctance to engage in communication via telephone or written correspondence. "Perhaps he could bring the royal clan together, lock the door, knock all their heads together and unite the entire family, including Harry and Meghan," Turner told Fox News Digital. "This may be feathers flying in a different way than a grouse shoot, but if they really believe in the Christian principles, they would try, in my view. It is what Britain expects." According to People magazine, Charles advocates for conventional methods and stands against bringing birds from other regions for this rural custom. The publication noted that sustaining the population of game birds in the region has proven to be "challenging."
