She has really poured herself into this film. This has been nothing less than a marathon for her, both physically and mentally. Those who have been a part of this journey understand how special it is. Audiences are in for something they have never seen from her before." Before Mumbai, the makers shot the major portions of the film in Delhi and Varanasi. The film was announced in 2023 but was delayed due to Dhanush's prior commitments.

Punjabi Singer Sunanda Sharma's Jaguar Trashed, Louis Vuitton Bags Stolen In London
Last Updated: Sunanda shared a video of her vandalised Jaguar, saying she couldn't sleep all night after the theft. Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma was left shaken after her luxury car was broken into during a recent trip to London. The singer shared a video on Instagram showing shattered glass on the seats and pavement around her black Jaguar, saying valuable belongings worth lakh of rupees were stolen. Among the missing items were two Louis Vuitton bags, a suitcase and a handbag. Speaking in Punjabi, Sunanda pointed to the damage and said, 'Everything is gone… Both were my favourite. They've taken everything." Though visibly upset, she remained composed as she documented the scene. In the caption, she wrote: 'Ve main jehde paase vekhaa, mainu chor disde. UK waaleyo eh koi gal te nai na. Sari raat neend nai aayi baadshaho. Kehda LV te Kehda Prada, oh gya oh gya oh gya." She added that perhaps the incident saved them from something worse. Theft and car break-ins involving high-end vehicles and celebrity targets have become increasingly common in London. In recent years, Indian singer and YouTuber B Praak had also raised concerns over safety after a break-in incident during his UK tour. Several international stars, including Kim Kardashian and singer Aitch, have previously reported thefts involving luxury goods and cars in the city. Famous footballers have also been frequent targets of such crimes. In July 2019, former Arsenal players Mesut Özil and Sead Kolašinac were targeted by armed robbers attempting to steal their watches; Kolašinac fought off the attackers, and both players were unharmed. Earlier this year, Sunanda made headlines when she filed a police complaint against music producer Pinky Dhaliwal, alleging financial exploitation and mental harassment. In a now-deleted post, she had shared that the ordeal left her emotionally drained, often crying alone and even battling thoughts of self-harm. Sunanda Sharma rose to fame with her debut single Billi Akh and went on to deliver hits like Jaani Tera Naa, Patake, and Tere Naal Nachna. She has also acted in Punjabi films.

Smriti Irani's Birthday Wish For Ektaa Kapoor: "She Is The Quiet Strength Behind Many Journeys"
Mumbai: As Ekta Kapoor turned 50 on Saturday, former actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani, who played the iconic role of Tulsi in the show 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', credited the TV Czarina as the 'quiet strength behind many journeys.' Smriti took to Instagram, where she shared a picture posing with Ekta, who cast the actress in 2000 as the lead Tulsi Virani in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.' For the caption, Smriti wrote: 'That night, we walked — from the quiet lanes of Juhu to the sacred steps of Siddhivinayak. Not in celebration, but in surrender. She had made a silent vow when I was chasing a dream — a prayer not for herself, but for me. And when the dream turned real, when the world clapped — she didn't call to revel in the applause.' She recalled: 'She reminded me: We owe Bappa our thanks. Gratitude walks before pride in her world. The world knows her as fierce - a woman of will, words, and unwavering resolve.' Smriti said she has known Ekta's 'silences, the softness that doesn't seek attention, the care that doesn't need credit. She is the quiet strength behind many journeys, the keeper of promises no one else hears.' The former actress wished all the success to Ekta. 'Today, she turns yet another page in her life…. A milestone many will raise a toast to. But in the hush of this day, I whisper a prayer — May peace wrap itself around her like a shawl on a weary evening." "May success find her, not because she chases it, but because she gives so much of herself away. She deserves both. And so much more. Happy Birthday EK @ektarkapoor,' she added. Talking about Smriti's character 'Tulsi', her name resonated with almost every household and people who could easily connect with the character and the storyline. It was the most popular character in the Television serial.
