Sudheer Babu and Sonakshi Sinha set the screen ablaze in Jatadhara; a supernatural myth thriller like never before

Entertainment The first look poster of Jatadhara, a supernatural thriller rooted in Indian mythology, has just been unveiled—and it’s already sending shockwaves across the industry. Backed by Zee Studios and ace producer Prerna Arora, the high-octane visual spectacle features Telugu star Sudheer Babu and Bollywood’s fierce diva Sonakshi Sinha in transformative, never-seen-before avatars. Sudheer Babu and Sonakshi Sinha set the screen ablaze in Jatadhara; a supernatural myth thriller like never before The striking poster reveals a chilling yet majestic world—where the sacred and the sinister collide. A flaming trident tears through stormy clouds, as Sudheer Babu’s intense silhouette stands poised for battle. Towering behind him is the shadow of Lord Shiva himself, hinting at divine intervention. Meanwhile, the underworld blazes beneath, home to the dreaded Dhanapisachini – a demonic guardian of cursed treasures – depicted in a haunting upside-down portrayal that hints at the twisted mythos that awaits. With direction helmed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal, Jatadhara is primed to be a mythic cinematic event. Combining advanced AI-enhanced storytelling with world-class visual effects, the film promises a stunning, genre-defying experience. The official teaser drops on August 8, 2025, and fans already can’t wait. This marks a major milestone for Zee Studios, under the visionary leadership of Umesh Kumar Bansal, CBO of Zee Studios. Known for redefining Indian content with strategic foresight and a keen eye for unique narratives, Bansal continues to position the studio at the forefront of genre innovation.

Neha Dhupia ropes in Radhika Apte, Yuvika Chaudhary, and other celeb moms for breastfeeding conversations as a part of ‘Freedom to Feed’

Entertainment Actor, producer, and maternal rights advocate Neha Dhupia is reigniting her groundbreaking initiative Freedom to Feed with a renewed sense of urgency and empowerment this World Breastfeeding Week 2025. Originally launched in 2019, the campaign has since grown into a movement — shedding light on the stigma around public breastfeeding and sparking necessary conversations on body autonomy, maternal health, and societal judgment. Neha Dhupia ropes in Radhika Apte, Yuvika Chaudhary, and other celeb moms for breastfeeding conversations as a part of ‘Freedom to Feed’ This year, Neha is set to take the movement a notch higher by engaging in raw, honest digital conversations with prominent celebrity mothers including Radhika Apte, Yuvika Chaudhary, and Sonnalli Seygall. These discussions will be unveiled across her social media platforms throughout the week, aiming to create a ripple effect of awareness, solidarity, and acceptance around breastfeeding and motherhood. The 2025 edition promises deeper, more layered explorations into issues that most women face but rarely voice — from navigating emotional pressures to asserting bodily autonomy in public and private spaces. The campaign also aims to challenge existing taboos and ignite a national dialogue that’s long overdue. This year’s campaign promises to be louder, more fearless, and unapologetically real. Speaking about reigniting the initiative, Neha Dhupia shared, “When I first launched Freedom to Feed, it came from a deeply personal space — from feeling vulnerable, judged, and isolated during what should have been the most natural and empowering time of my life. Over the years, I’ve realised how many women have felt the same, and how powerful it can be when we come together to share our stories. This year, I want to make the conversation even louder, even more honest. Because no woman should be made to feel ashamed for simply feeding her child. This is about choice, dignity, and respect — and it’s time we all stood up for that.” Freedom to Feed began as a deeply personal project. Neha, a mother herself, used her platform to speak about the vulnerabilities and shame many women are made to feel while breastfeeding in public — a topic often shrouded in silence and discomfort. Over the years, her voice has resonated far and wide, drawing support from powerful women in the entertainment industry like Bipasha Basu, Freida Pinto, Soha Ali Khan, and Dia Mirza. Each has contributed to shaping a more inclusive, understanding environment for nursing mothers. With bold voices joining in and stories that refuse to be silenced, Freedom to Feed 2025 could be the conversation that changes everything.

Dhanush slams AI-edited Raanjhanaa re-release: “This isn’t the film I made”

Entertainment In a shocking turn of events, the re-release of the 2013 romantic drama Raanjhanaa has sparked widespread outrage after the film’s climax was altered using Artificial Intelligence (AI) — without the consent of lead actor Dhanush or director Aanand L Rai. The AI-generated ending, introduced by Eros International, has ignited a heated debate on the ethics of AI in cinema, with Dhanush himself expressing “deep disappointment” and calling the decision a “threat to the integrity of storytelling.” Dhanush slams AI-edited Raanjhanaa re-release: “This isn’t the film I made” Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Dhanush didn’t mince words in his statement, “The re-release of Raanjhanaa with an AI-altered climax has completely disturbed me. This alternate ending has stripped the film of its very soul… This is not the film I committed to 12 years ago.” He also called for stricter regulations to prevent similar alterations in the future. “The use of Al to alter films or content is a deeply concerning precedent for both art and artists. It threatens the integrity of storytelling and the legacy of cinema. I sincerely hope that stricter regulations are put in place to prevent such practices in the future”, he added. For the love of cinema ???? pic.twitter.com/VfwxMAdfoM — Dhanush (@dhanushkraja) August 3, 2025 The original ending of Raanjhanaa was hailed for its heartbreaking realism — Kundan (Dhanush), bloodied and dying, lies unresponsive as Zoya (Sonam Kapoor) cradles his lifeless face. The moment was a raw portrayal of sacrifice and unfulfilled love, cementing the film’s cult status. In stark contrast, the new version shows Kundan surviving his injuries, waking up in the hospital to smiles and upbeat music. Fans were quick to slam the new ending, calling it “a betrayal,” “tone-deaf,” and “an insult to the original narrative.” It began trending as cinephiles shared clips, reactions, and nostalgic tributes to the original. Adding to the backlash, director Aanand L Rai also voiced his disappointment, confirming he was not consulted and the filmmaker expressed his anger in a heartfelt note on social media. While Eros International released a statement defending their actions as an “experiment in cinematic innovation,” many believe the move sets a dangerous precedent — one where commercial interests override artistic authenticity. As the controversy brews, one thing is clear: Raanjhanaa may have received a new ending, but the original story — and the emotions it evoked — still lives on in the hearts of its audience.

Veteran actress Urvashi questions National Awards jury over SRK’s Win as Best Actor: ‘What are the parameters for…’

Entertainment Home News and Gossip Veteran actress Urvashi questions National Awards jury over SRK’s Win as Best Actor: ‘What are the… Following her win for Best Supporting Actress, Urvashi publicly challenged the selection method used by the National Film Awards panel. She questioned Shah Rukh Khan’s victory for Jawan as Best Actor. Actress Urvashi, who won Best Supporting Actress at the 71st National Film Awards for her performance in “Ullozhukku,” has now publicly questioned the jury’s selection process, particularly in light of Shah Rukh Khan’s win for Best Actor in Jawan. “What were the parameters for picking Shah Rukh Khan as Best Actor? and how did Vijayaraghavan get reduced to a supporting actor?” she asked in an interview with Asianet News. Urvashi did not mince words when she called attention to the ambiguity, implying that the selection procedure was unfair and inconsistent. She pointedly added, “Kuttettan [Vijayaraghavan] is a veteran. At the very least, why wasn’t he considered for a Special Jury Mention?” Entertainment Urvashi also revealed that… Urvashi also revealed a behind-the-scenes story about “Pookkaalam,” stating that she was first offered the job alongside Vijayaraghavan but turned it down because of the demanding physical requirements, which included doing makeup for more than nine hours every day. “Even for crores, I couldn’t do it. But Vijayaraghavan endured it all and gave a deeply committed performance,” she said. “How can that be called a supporting role?” Entertainment She was frustrated beyond… Her displeasure went beyond specific accolades to include the way Malayalam cinema was portrayed. “Why wasn’t the Best Actress award shared this year? What’s the protocol? Is there any standard scale?” she asked. Entertainment She said the award should not… The renowned actress says that the award shouldn’t be accepted in silence. “This is not pension money. If you’re giving me something, I should feel happy receiving it.” She even urged Minister of State Suresh Gopi to probe why Malayalam cinema was overlooked. Entertainment Kerala CM reacts to The Kerala Story win Meanwhile, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan posted a tweet on the last day in response to the contentious and propaganda movie The Kerala Story’s big win. The post read, “By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala’s image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury of the #NationalFilmAwards has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar.” It further read, “Kerala, a land that has always stood as a beacon of harmony and resistance against communal forces, has been gravely insulted by this decision. It is not just Malayalis, but everyone who believes in democracy, must raise their voice in defence of truth and the constitutional values we hold dear.” Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates.
