Ajay Devgn backs eight-hour shifts for mothers amid reports of Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's ‘Spirit'
Actor Ajay Devgn backed the 8-hour shifts for mothers amid reports of Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Spirit. The film has been in the news lately after reports claimed that Deepika decided to walk away from the project due to certain working demands, including a request for an 'eight-hour workday.' While this sparked debate online, actor Ajay Devgn seems to have spoken in support of Deepika at the trailer launch of Maa, an upcoming horror film that stars Kajol in the lead. When asked about his views on the demands for an 8-hour shift, Devgn, without taking names, said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people. Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. Apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-to nine-hour shifts.' 'It's person to person, and I feel most of the industry understands this,' he added. Earlier, Deepika was expected to star opposite Prabhas in Spirit, a film backed by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures. The film is helmed by Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The makers confirmed that actress Triptii Dimri, who was also seen in Animal, has joined the cast of Spirit. Just a couple of days back, Vanga took to his X and dropped a fiery post. Though he did not name anyone directly, many believe Vanga was referring to Deepika Padukone, who reportedly stepped away from the project recently. ALSO READ:'Spirit': Triptii Dimri replaces Deepika Padukone in Prabhas' film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga In a post shared on his official X, Vanga voiced frustration over a broken 'unsaid NDA' and alleged betrayal of trust, and wrote, 'When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100 per cent faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, you've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are.'

Greater Noida to seize T-Series land to build road
Greater Noida The Greater Noida authority on Thursday said it has decided to invoke the urgency clause to acquirefour hectares land for a 1.5km road project pending for 15 years, which aims to connect LG Chowk on Kasna Road with Knowledge Park 3, after the landowner, music and film producer T-Series, refused to part with the land. The urgency clause of the Land Acquisition Act allows the government to take immediate possession of land needed for public purposes if an urgent situation exists, bypassing normal acquisition process. 'The road connecting LG Chowk with Knowledge Park needs to be urgently built and we cannot afford to wait any longer. Traffic in the area is set to increase because the Noida Airport will open soon. The road will decongest other city roads, benefiting commuters in Greater Noida, Noida and those travelling towards the Yamuna Expressway,' said Ravi Kumar NG, chief executive officer of the Greater Noida authority. The project was first mooted in 2010 but was delayed because of resistance from T-Series. The four hectares needed for the road is part of 80 hectares of land owned by T-Series. The authority wants all 80 hectares for developmental purposes but T-Series wants to keep 76 hectares, and only wants to give up the four hectares needed for the road. T-Series bought the land from farmers in 1987 before the Greater Noida authority came into existence. According to the rules, without the approval of the building map from the Greater Noida authority, no one can build any project or use the land for industrial, commercial or any other purpose. T-Series has been resisting the acquisition because it wants permission to use the land for its own purposes, which the Greater Noida authority has refused. 'We are ready to give four hectares land required for the road project. But we request that the remaining land must be given to us for industrial purposes because we had bought the land in 1987 before the Greater Noida authority came into existence in 1992,' said a T-Series spokesperson. On Thursday, the authority said it plans to complete the land acquisition process as soon as possible and deposit the land cost in the additional district magistrate's office. According to officials, the land cost is ₹3,100 per sqm. Once the authority gets the land, it will build the road within two to three months. The budget for the road project is ₹31 crore, said officials. The road is currently only half-finished, with three lanes built from Knowledge Park to LG Chowk. The other half of three lanes from LG Chowk to Knowledge Park have yet to be built.

Talks fail, Gr Noida set to acquire land from T-Series for road
Noida: Greater Noida Authority has decided to acquire 20 hectares owned by T-Series in Namoli to construct a crucial road linking LG Chowk with Knowledge Park 3. CEO Ravi Kumar NG said multiple negotiations with the music company have failed, prompting the Authority to proceed with the acquisition under provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, to build a critical infrastructure. "The Rs 31-crore project aims to decongest Pari Chowk, improve connectivity between key institutional hubs, and provide a direct link between Noida sectors 146-147 and Greater Noida via Knowledge Park 2 and 3," Ravi Kumar said. Social impact assessment (SIA) and expert committee review for the project have been completed, and the district administration will next issue a notification under Section 11 of the Act for initiating the process of land acquisition. The Section mandates a govt to publish a notification of land acquisition and a summary of the SIA in an official gazette to inform the public about the need for acquiring a plot. Currently, a single-lane carriageway, constructed in 2010, struggles to accommodate two-way traffic between the busy LG Chowk and Knowledge Park 3, leading to frequent traffic snarls. In April, Greater Noida Authority claimed it had secured in-principle approval to acquire land from the music company to upgrade the stretch into a six-lane road with service roads, a central verge, and a drainage system. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Qual deles é você? É isso que diz sobre a sua personalidade! Conselhos E Truques Undo Later, T-Series contested the claim, stating they did not agree to part with more land beyond what was essential for the road. According to the company, founder Gulshan Kumar purchased 300 acres in Namoli in 1987, even before GNIDA was set up in 1991, for industrial use. Although the land is non-agricultural and freehold, operations ceased when a dedicated freight corridor split the property. At its peak, T-Series ran about 15 manufacturing units here producing cassettes and incense sticks. The company has alleged that GNIDA used around 12 acres of its land for one side of the road without formal acquisition in 2009-10, with a promise to allocate alternative land. When the promise went unfulfilled, T-Series halted the second carriageway's construction through a High Court order. T-Series spokesperson Vinay Kumar Mittal told TOI the company is not against land acquisition per se, but was willing only to part with land required for the road, around 4 hectares, and nothing beyond. He warned that any further acquisition attempts would be met with legal resistance. "We raised our objections during an expert committee meeting, even as the panel agreed that only the absolute bare minimum of land should be acquired," he added. To break the standoff, the Authority in its March 29 board meeting proposed a conditional settlement. Under this, 40% of 196 acres of undeveloped land owned by T-Series would be returned, subject to payment of external development fees. The remaining 60% would be acquired as per the circle rates. GNIDA also proposed that land coverage, FAR, and setback norms, applicable in 1992 (before the area came under GNIDA's jurisdiction), would be honoured, though current FAR charges would apply during purchase.
