Plans for 'Rowdy Rathore' 2 scrapped As per reports from Bollywood Hungama, the script for 'Rowdy Rathore' 2 has been put aside by Shabinaa Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali . The script for the film will now be approached with a new lens, with the possibility of being made into an independent film instead. A report also shared that one of the reasons for the project getting scrapped lies in the hesitance from one of the owners of the film's rights. The statement read, 'With Disney unwilling to commit, Shabinaa Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have decided to scrap the idea of Rowdy Rathore 2 altogether and repurpose the script into a standalone commercial entertainer, free from the Rowdy Rathore tag'. The script will undergo many changes As the original project will not be followed through on, even after almost 3 years of effort, the already-made script is being reworked. Screenplay writer V. Vijayendra Prasad was responsible for bringing the story of 'Rowdy Rathore' 2 to life; however, he will now work on transforming it into a cop centric drama story.

Zakir Khan at Madison Square Garden: The next global comedy superstar may be an Indian
On August 17, just two days after India celebrated its 79th Independence Day, stand-up comedian Zakir Khan made history by being the first Indian comic to sell out the iconic Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York City. With this, Khan joins an esteemed list of artists like Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle and George Carlin who have sold out the venue in the past. 'The Garden', as it has come to be known in the pop culture lexicon, has also hosted legendary musical acts like the Rolling Stones, and memorable sporting events like the Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier boxing match. What makes Zakir's performance at the venue unique is that his act is almost completely in Hindi or 'Hindustani' — a blend of Hindi and Urdu, which he peppers with dollops of an Indori cadence. To truly enjoy the nuances of a stand-up performance, an audience needs to have more of a hold on the language than, say, a musical or dance performance. To have more than 15,000 people show up to listen to a Hindi comedian in New York is truly a special moment. An interesting phenomenon has emerged over the past couple of years, where influential South Asians abroad from the fields of entertainment and politics have infused Indian languages, or 'Indian-isms' in their videos and messaging, giving rise to a seamless blending of English with Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, etc. Take, for example, New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. During his campaign, he made a tongue-in-cheek video reaching out to his South Asian supporters entirely in Hindi. He mouthed popular Hindi film dialogues while taking playful digs at desis and their relationship with elders. Or comedian Hasan Minhaj, who was present at the Garden to warm up the crowd and reverentially addressed Zakir as 'Zakir bhai'. Despite English being the primary medium of Hasan's comedy, he questions American institutions and systems while also familiarising audiences with stringent Indian family customs and his struggles with them as a second-generation immigrant. With Indian comedians making the US and European cities a constant fixture on their tours, there has been a growing camaraderie between comedians in India and those of Indian descent abroad. While this leads to mutual cheerleading when they perform at notable venues and comedy festivals, it has also helped turn the attention of their primarily American and European audiences to controversial issues where comedians in India have faced the wrath of the moral police or of those in positions of power. Comedian Akaash Singh, who co-hosts the popular podcast Flagrant (which has nearly two million subscribers on YouTube), has, in the recent past, discussed how performers like Samay Raina, Vir Das and Kunal Kamra have faced pushback from the authorities and how narratives created by the media and online troll armies shape public perception in India. Akaash even sat down for a one-on-one conversation with Kunal about the state of comedy in India. With the likes of Vir Das and Zakir Khan making waves in the West, there has also been an influx of big names from their comedy scene visiting India for shows. Just in the past two years Anthony Jeselnik, Jimmy Carr, Max Amini have been here and the next six to eight months will see Kevin Hart, Louis C K, Sammy Obeid and Daniel Sloss (making this his third trip to India). With stand-up specials and clips being accessible to millions through YouTube and Netflix, and comedians making pit stops on each other's podcasts, comedy has truly gone global in the last decade. A South African like Trevor Noah got the reins of The Daily Show, steeped in US politics, Egyptian doctor turned comedian Bassem Youssef has been performing sold out shows across the US while also becoming the face for Palestinian solidarity after his appearance on the Piers Morgan show. With subtitles and AI tools aiding translations, language is slowly ceasing to be a barrier. If Zakir's sold-out show at MSG is anything to go by, it isn't outside the realm of possibility that the next global comedy superstar will be a homegrown comedian who speaks an Indian language. The writer is a podcast producer and stand-up comedian

Nicole Kidman Files Solo Residency Bid In Portugal, Fuels Divorce Rumours With Keith Urban
Last Updated: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's friends are in shock after the actress sparked divorce speculation with her recent solo move. Nicole Kidman has reportedly applied for Portuguese citizenship and purchased a luxury home in the country, without her husband of 19 years, Keith Urban. This led to speculation about their marriage being in crisis and also left their fans in utter shock. Nicole Kidman's recent solo residency bid in Portugal is the 'clearest sign yet" of a potential separation from her husband, Keith Urban, reported Radar Online. A source close to the Oscar-winning actress told the news outlet that 'it's like she's set on building a whole other life in Europe," however, confirming that the Australian-American country singer and songwriter won't be 'a part of it." Nicole Kidman Fuels Divorce Rumours With Keith Urban 'It's no secret they have juggled long-distance for years, but going ahead to Portugal without Keith is a bold signal that things are not good between them," the source added. Days after celebrating their anniversary, Kidman filed the residential application at the Portuguese Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum, which included only her name and not that of Urban, who remains in Nashville. The report further stated that she is planning to buy a luxury home in the exclusive Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club Resort. 'Nicole keeps saying it's purely about buying property, but Keith shows no real interest in adding Europe to his life," the source confirmed, adding, 'He's at his best in Nashville or Sydney. This Portugal move is entirely Nicole's vision – she's driving it, paying for it, and pushing ahead without his involvement." Meanwhile, People Magazine previously reported that Urban's current US Tour prevented him from accompanying his wife to the mandatory in-person immigration meetings. Additionally, the doting husband is rushing to join Kidman in her residence bid. Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban's friends Are In Shock After The Divorce Rumours The report added that the couple's friends are in disbelief about their separation rumours. 'Friends were stunned. They've built their reputation on having this unshakable marriage, so Nicole taking such a big step without Keith is setting off alarm bells. They may still smile for the cameras, but behind closed doors, things seem far less straightforward," the source elaborated. Nicole Kidman's Portuguese Citizenship Is Related To Her Daughter, Bella Some insiders believe that although the Portuguese citizenship will distance the actress from her husband, it will help her spontaneously visit her eldest daughter, Bella, who is currently in London. Kidman had previously looked for houses in London, but 'found it gloomy". This made her choose Portugal as the perfect residence to travel freely through Europe. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who got married in 2006, are blessed with two daughters, Sunday and Faith. They reportedly have sprawling USD 282 million properties, including homes in Sydney, Los Angeles, New York, and previously in Portugal. Kidman also shares two children, Bella and Connor, with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
