Delhi HC allows actor Rajpal Yadav to fly to Melbourne for film promotions
NEW DELHI: The Delhi HC has granted permission to Bollywood actor Rajpal Naurang Yadav to travel to Melbourne, Australia between June 27 and July 5 for the promotion of his upcoming film Mera Kale Rang Da Yaar.
Vacation judge Justice Rajneesh Kumar Gupta approved Yadav's request, stating that the actor must furnish a fixed deposit receipt (FDR) of Rs 1 lakh, which will be deposited with the Court's Registry as a condition for his travel.
'The Applicant/Petitioner no. 1 shall furnish his mobile number and e-mail ID, at the time of furnishing FDR, which shall be kept operational at all times during the period of visit in Melbourne, Australia,' the Court directed.
Yadav's passport, which is currently held by the trial court, has been ordered to be released temporarily for the duration of his trip. The Court made it clear that the passport must be re-deposited once he returns to India.
The matter is scheduled to be heard next by the roster bench on July 8. The application to travel abroad was filed in connection with Yadav's ongoing legal battle—he and his wife are petitioners in a plea challenging his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
In June last year, a coordinate bench of the HC had suspended the sentence imposed by the trial court, taking into account that the Yadavs were not habitual offenders. The bench had also encouraged both parties to explore a possible amicable resolution to the matter.
The dispute is presently being handled by the Delhi High Court Mediation Centre. The Court had previously allowed the actor and his wife to travel abroad as well.

Why Prada's Kolhapuri chappals and LV's desi trunks prove luxury fashion is obsessed with Indian staples
India is not just vibing, it is serving influence. And no, we are not talking about influencers doing yoga on the banks of the Ganga. We are talking about Prada launching its take on Kolhapuri chappals (yes, the ones uncle wears to weddings), and Louis Vuitton slapping their logo on trunks that scream 'Sharmaji's shaadi ka samaan.' Why is every luxe brand suddenly obsessed with Indian style? | Credit: Instagram Why is every luxe brand suddenly obsessed with Indian style? | Credit: Instagram From desi to designer: India's influence is dripping on global runways, and it is not giving! What once sat quietly in Indian bazaars is now strutting down Milan runways with a four-digit price tag. Kolhapuris that you could grab in Lajpat Nagar for Rs 500 are now rebranded as 'heritage sandals' for over Rs 70,000. No, this is not satire, it is fashion. View this post on Instagram Prada's Kolhapuris and the big brand rebranding Let us begin with Prada, who just launched their "luxury leather toe-loop flats,' but every Indian auntie knows a Kolhapuri when she sees one. Complete with minimal detailing and raw leather edges, these sandals are being praised as timeless elegance. Meanwhile, somewhere in Kolhapur, a chappal-maker probably just snorted his chai. View this post on Instagram Fashion watchers say that high-end brands are going through an Indiafication, where they borrow, glam up and sell Indian staples back to us as aspirational pieces. Louis Vuitton's desi trunks are basically fancy shaadi baggage Now cue Louis Vuitton, who are living their best wedding-planner fantasy with trunks that give off major Delhi dulhan ki packing vibes. Sure, they are sleek, monogrammed, and priced like your first car, but anyone who has ever stored their sarees in a steel Godrej cupboard knows exactly what inspired this. Why is every luxe brand suddenly obsessed with Indian style? | Credit: Instagram View this post on Instagram And it is not just footwear or trunks. Balenciaga once flirted with a polybag-inspired tote. Dior has played with Indian embroidery. Sabyasachi made his way to H&M. Everyone is dipping their ladle in the desi curry. Why is every luxe brand suddenly obsessed with Indian style? | Credit: Instagram/sabyasachi Not only that, if you live under the rock and do not know about it, well, the jhola, a simple cloth bag used daily in Indian households for groceries, errands, and travel, is now being sold for $48 (Rs 4,228) on American luxury store Nordstrom's website. Well, this might sound difficult to believe, but it is true as pictures of the humble 'jhola' being sold at such an exorbitant rate have gone viral on social media. Why a Rs 100 jhola selling for Rs 4000 is going viral in India? | Credit: X | wordi25 The classic desi carryall has been given a bougie twist — Japanese label Puebco is now marketing it as the 'Indian Souvenir Bag' on Nordstrom's online store, slapping a luxe price tag on what is basically every Indian mum's trusted tote. Cultural appreciation or fashion appropriation? The bigger question: is this just admiration or are these brands cosplaying culture for clout and cash? Where are the nods to Indian artisans? The royalties? The collaborations? Why a Rs 100 jhola selling for Rs 4000 is going viral in India? | Credit: X | wordi25 Until we get answers, just know this, what your nani carried to sabzi mandi is now being carried to the ramp that too for big brands. And honestly? That is both iconic and insane.

Coolie: Telugu theatrical rights of Rajinikanth's action thriller acquired by Game Changer producer worth crores
Rajinikanth is eyeing a massive release with his next film, Coolie. The 70-year-old Tamil superstar will be pulling off an action-centric role in the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial which is slated for a release on August 14. Ahead of the same, the makers have seemingly locked a massive theatrical rights deal in the Telugu-speaking states. Coolie's Telugu theatrical rights worth Rs. 45 crore As per an India Glitz report, Coolie has garnered considerable buzz not just in Tamil Nadu but also in some of the major Telugu-speaking states as well. Amid formidable excitement surrounding the Rajinikanth starrer, the makers have now locked a substantial theatrical rights deal in these states too. The Telugu theatrical rights of the film have been acquired for a whopping Rs. 45 crore by Asian Suniel Narang, Suresh Babu and producer Dil Raju. While the deal is still yet to be formalized, it is likely to become one of the most expensive agreements locked on by any Tamil film in a Telugu state. What is Coolie's title in its Hindi version? Well, Coolie will be having its theatrical release in multiple languages besides its original version in Tamil. It also includes a Hindi release for the audiences, especially in Northern India. A recent post by Red FM India unveiled the Hindi title poster of Coolie, which is renamed as Majadoor. However, an official confirmation on the same is still awaited from the makers. Rajinikanth, Lokesh Kanagaraj's salary, budget and other details of Coolie As per an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, Coolie is said to have been made on a massive budget of Rs. 350 crores, which also includes the individual fees of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth himself. A source stated that while Rajinikanth is receiving an upfront pay cheque of Rs. 150 crore, it is one of the highest of all time for an actor. Lokesh, on the other hand, has bagged fees of Rs. 50 crore, which is again a record achievement for a filmmaker. For the unversed, upon its release, Coolie will be clashing with another massive film, War 2, at the box office, which is also releasing on the same day.
