After Rana Daggubati, Kajol slams paparazzi culture as ‘disrespectful' and intrusive
Bollywood actor Kajol has slammed paparazzi culture as disrespectful and intrusive. In an interview with a portal, Kajol — star of the upcoming horror film Maa — took issue with being constantly tailed by photographers, and how it violates an actor's personal space. 'I am a little conscious with paps,' Kajol told Bollywood Hungama. 'I think there are certain places where they shouldn't be. Like I find it very strange when they run after actors at someone's funeral and ask for photos. I find that odd and a little disrespectful. I find it strange that you cannot even go for lunch.' In the past, several film celebrities (including Kajol) have expressed their annoyance with pap culture. A 'pap' or paparazzo is a photographer engaged to click pictures of celebrities, often milling outside airports, gyms and restaurants. While some are invited or handed 'tip-offs' by an actor's publicity team, there are also those who turn up unannounced or behave indecorously. Most recently, actor Rana Daggubati lost his cool after being pursued by photographers at the airport. A video went viral of Daggubati, a major Telugu star who features in the Hindi-Telugu web series Rana Naidu, accidentally dropping his phone after a stranger bumped into him. The actor, waving his hand in displeasure, looked annoyed at the snappers who continued filming him. Speaking about the airport incident, Daggubati later told India Today, 'I didn't call them (the photographers). I don't like it. I don't like them in my personal space, and I have been very vocal about it. They come outside my home, which I have respectfully told them [not to do]. And even at airports, they still turn up. I think it's pretty annoying.'

‘Dacoit' first glimpse: Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap in a twisted love story
A first glimpse teaser from the upcoming Hindi-Telugu bilingual film, Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, was unveiled by the makers on Monday (May 26). The film, which marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Shaneil Deo, is set to release in theatres on December 25 for Christmas. The teaser video offers glimpses of the three main characters, played by Sesh, Thakur and Anurag Kashyap. 'Hey, Juliet. What happened to you isn't a trivial thing. Everybody betrayed you. But I am not here to betray you. No. I am here to destroy you,' says the voiceover by Sesh's character, an elusive criminal. We then see a high-speed train ram through a police vehicle. The caption of the YouTube video and how X-Mas is written towards the end further hint that this might be a raw and explosive story revolving around a woman and her exes. An earlier report had called it a gripping story of two former lovers who must unite to commit a series of robberies to change their lives. Written by Sesh and Deo, Dacoit also features Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla in pivotal roles. With music scored by Bheems Ceciroleo, the film has cinematography by Danush Bhaskar and editing by Kodati Pavan Kalyan. Dacoit is currently being shot in Hyderabad, after which an extensive schedule is set to take place in Maharashtra. The film is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, co-produced by Suniel Narang, and presented by Annapurna Studios.
