'The Killing Call': BBC releases Sidhu Moosewala documentary on YouTube despite father's protest
The BBC World Service released a two-part documentary called 'The Killing Call' on YouTube on Tuesday, focusing on the murder of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. The release went ahead despite a legal request from Moosewala's father, Balkaur Singh, who had approached a court in Mansa to try and stop it from being shown. Originally, the documentary was set to be screened publicly in Mumbai on June 11, which is Moosewala's birth anniversary. But due to growing controversy and legal challenges, the BBC World Service decided to release it on YouTube instead.

Originally, the documentary was set to be screened publicly in Mumbai on June 11, which is Moosewala's birth anniversary. But due to growing controversy and legal challenges, the BBC World Service decided to release it on YouTube instead. A civil judge, Rajinder Singh Nagpal, heard a case filed by Balkaur Singh but refused to issue a temporary order to stop the documentary. The court has now listed the case for a full hearing on June 12. In his suit, Singh named the BBC and two individuals – Ishleen Kaur and Ankur Jain – as respondents. Balkaur's lawyer, Satinder Pal Singh, said the family believes the documentary could affect the ongoing criminal trial into Moosewala's murder and breach their right to privacy.

Balkaur's lawyer, Satinder Pal Singh, said the family believes the documentary could affect the ongoing criminal trial into Moosewala's murder and breach their right to privacy. Father says family's permission was ignored In earlier complaints to the Director General of Police in Maharashtra and the Juhu police station, Balkaur Singh claimed that the BBC documentary used Sidhu Moosewala's name, image, and life story without getting the family's permission. He also alleged that invitations had been sent out to people claiming they would share 'unknown details' about the late singer – something he believes could damage his son's reputation. Balkaur added that the Maharashtra Police have not responded to the complaints he filed last week. The BBC's two-part documentary covers Sidhu Moosewala's journey and tragic death. The first episode looks at his early life, his rise to fame, and the controversies he faced. The second episode focuses on the events leading up to his murder on 29 May 2022 in Punjab's Mansa district. 'It's a story that takes us from the villages of rural India to the hip-hop scene of eastern Canada, from the turbulant history of Punjab to the contested politics of modern India, and from the shadowy world of organised crime to a chilling phone call with the fugitive gangster, who says he ordered the hit,' the BBC world service, said in the video's description. The documentary includes interviews with Sidhu Moosewala's friends, journalists, and police officers from both Punjab and Delhi. It also features an audio interview with Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, who claimed he was behind the murder. Moosewala's killing Sidhu Moosewala, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was shot dead in broad daylight while travelling without police protection. His death shocked people across India and the global Punjabi community. The 28-year-old singer was attacked by gunmen who fired more than 30 bullets. Locals later found him slumped in the driver's seat of his vehicle. Goldy Brar, who is believed to be linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, publicly claimed responsibility for the murder. He has since been declared an 'individual terrorist' by India's National Investigation Agency (NIA). The investigation is still ongoing. No one has been convicted yet, and Brar remains on the run.

James Gunn confirms post credit scene in Superman BUT won't repeat the same mistakes he did with Marvel
American filmmaker James Gunn is setting expectations straight when it comes to what fans should anticipate after the credits roll on the upcoming film Superman. While the film will include a post-credits scene, James made it clear that it won't follow the typical Marvel formula of teasing what's next. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 58-year-old director explained that his approach to end-credit tags has been shaped by his past experience in the superhero genre — especially during his time with Marvel. 'I have a philosophy about post-credit scenes. It's somewhat related to my own mistakes in my time with Marvel," he said. A post shared by James Gunn (@jamesgunn) He reflected on one of those missteps: the moment in Avengers: Endgame when Thor joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. 'I said in the script notes: 'I'm not gonna put him in. I don't want to have Thor in the Guardians. I don't want to do a movie with Thor. I don't understand the character that much. I love watching his movies and I love Chris Hemsworth as a guy. I don't understand how to write that character,'" James shared. Another example he cited was the introduction of Adam Warlock, who first appeared in a post-credits scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and later became part of the third film. 'I did not like what I did in Guardians 2 where we set up Adam Warlock and we set up the Guardians of the Galaxy and we set up all this s**t that I didn't necessarily plan on,' James admitted. 'Well, I guess I kind of planned on fulfilling that [Adam Warlock] promise, but you want to be careful about that. The way a post-credits scene works is a punch to the face, like, 'Oh my God! Look at this.' At times when you're using it just solely to set something up, sometimes you're screwing yourself over. It was not easy to work Adam Warlock into Guardians 3. I loved working with Will, and I liked dealing with the character, but at the end of the day, was he kind of fitting a weird square peg into a round hole? A little bit, yeah," he added. Instead, James said he prefers moments that feel rewarding without pressuring future stories into a specific direction — like the humorous appearance of Howard the Duck in the first Guardians film. He emphasized that he avoids forward-looking tags 'unless it really, really works.' He pointed to the post-credits scene in The Suicide Squad, which set up Peacemaker, as an example of when it did work well. 'I started shooting the Peacemaker show and then I shot [the post-credits scene] and then put it in there, so it was easy,' James explained. 'I knew it was coming, so that was fine, but I got to be a little bit careful about it. I do love giving something back to the audience, so I will try to put something in the end credits for audiences to see, because I think it's great. I love my crew, and I want you to stick around and see who the gaffers were," he added. Starring David Corenswet as the titular hero Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, the upcoming movie is slated to release on July 11.
