Regina Cassandra is back in a fun movie called Vidaamuyarchi after taking some time for more serious roles. She has acted in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films. In this new movie, she tries to mix both styles. Regina said Vidaamuyarchi is different from typical commercial films. She explained, “It’s exciting and has a unique tone that everyone can enjoy. You can have fun, but there’s also more to think about.”

The movie marks the return of famous actor Ajith after a long break. Regina is excited about working with Ajith and Trisha Krishnan. She mentions how commercial films have changed over the years. “I always want to play good roles, no matter what kind of projects I’m in,” she said. Regina noted that in the past, action films had a lot of violence, and female characters weren’t as involved.

Now, though, movies are changing direction. “We’re starting to create interesting stories and characters again,” Regina pointed out. She believes the growth of OTT platforms has influenced this shift.

Vidaamuyarchi also stars Ajith, Trisha, and Arjun Sarja and is directed by Magizh Thirumeni. The film has received good reviews but hasn’t made as much money at the box office, earning just over ₹100 crore since its release on February 6.

Samay Raina shared his feelings on social media, saying, “Everything that’s happening has become too much for me. I’ve decided to remove all the ‘Indias Got Latent’ videos from my channel because my main goal was to make people laugh and enjoy themselves. I’m willing to work with any officials to help settle everything fairly. Thank you for your understanding.”

The controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent has intensified after the National Commission for Women (NCW) expressed strong concern over hurtful comments from Ranveer Allahbadia and others on the show. The Mumbai police visited the YouTuber’s home on Tuesday. On Wednesday, comedian and influencer Apoorva Mukhija reported to the Khar police station in Mumbai to give her statement.

In a video shared by ANI, Apoorva was seen leaving the police station surrounded by reporters who wanted to know more about the case. She covered her face with a mask and went directly to her car without making any comments.

Apoorva Mukhija shows up at Khar police station today in connection with the India’s Got Latent case. A complaint has been filed against YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, influencer Apoorva Mukhija, comedian Samay Raina, and the show’s organizers for allegedly using inappropriate language during the episode that triggered widespread outrage. The NCW has summoned them to appear in person for a hearing on February 17 at 12 PM in New Delhi.

Maharashtra’s chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis, was also queried about the podcaster’s comments by reporters. He stated, “I’ve learned about it, though I haven’t watched it yet. Some things were said and shown in a misleading way. Everyone has the right to speak, but that freedom ends when it restricts the freedom of others.”

Filmmaker Anil Sharma, who is behind the love story “Gadar,” is speaking out about Ameesha Patel’s comments on the sequel, “Gadar 2.” Ameesha said she agreed to do the movie because she thought her character Sakeena would defeat the bad guy. However, Anil changed the ending of the movie without telling her.

In an interview with Vickey Lalwani on YouTube, Anil addressed Ameesha’s claims. He said, “When she wanted to travel to Pakistan, I told her that couldn’t happen because it wouldn’t fit our story. After hearing the script, didn’t she understand that?”

He further explained, “What actor doesn’t want a bigger role? But that wasn’t possible here. Is Pakistan a tourist spot where Sunny Deol can take everyone? Tara Singh is going to save his kidnapped son, not take his wife there! What if someone threatens her with a gun? Is Tara Singh crazy to do that?”

“Gadar 2” is the sequel to the successful movie “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” which came out in 2001. In the story, Sunny Deol plays Tara Singh, a truck driver, and Ameesha Patel plays Sakeena. The film is set during the time of India’s partition in 1947. The sequel follows Tara as he bravely crosses the border to rescue his son, who is being held captive in Pakistan. “Gadar 2” was released in 2023 and became a big hit!

Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia is facing serious trouble because of some offensive comments he made on a show called “India’s Got Latent.” After videos of his remarks began to circulate online, many people became upset. Celebrities, including actor Jackky Bhagnani, spoke out against what Ranveer said.

Jackky said, “It’s really wrong… I don’t agree with it at all. I don’t support it either.” On Monday, a lawyer filed a complaint against Ranveer, along with social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, comedian Samay Raina (who hosts the show), and the organizers of “India’s Got Latent.” The complaint was made because viewers found the language used on the show inappropriate.

The situation escalated when Ranveer made a disrespectful joke on the show, which sparked outrage. The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) criticized his comments, calling them “disgraceful” and harmful to family values. They demanded that the show be banned and wanted to see action taken against those responsible. AICWA urged actors and filmmakers to stop working with anyone connected to the show.

After facing backlash, Ranveer apologized publicly through a video on his X account. He recognized that his comments were not just offensive but also not funny. Ranveer admitted that comedy is not his strong suit and said he felt bad for his poor judgement. He promised to be more careful with his words, especially considering his influence on younger fans.

In conclusion, he asked the makers of “India’s Got Latent” to take out the insensitive parts from the episode where he made the comments. He said, “All I can say in the end is sorry. I hope you can forgive me.”

Samay Raina’s show, “India’s Got Latent,” is getting a lot of negative attention because of an episode with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia. Some people have complained that they used bad language during the show. In response, Uorfi Javed, a friend of Samay’s, has spoken out for him. She believes that while some comments made during the episode were inappropriate, Samay and Ranveer shouldn’t be punished or sent to jail for it.

Uorfi shared her thoughts on her Instagram Stories. She said, “Not everyone likes certain people or what they say, but wanting to send them to jail? That seems too extreme. Samay is my friend, and I support him. Yes, what was said was distasteful, but they shouldn’t go to jail for that.” Uorfi had also been a guest on Samay’s show before but left midway because some contestants made rude comments about her. She reassured everyone that Samay was kind to her, and there were no hard feelings between them.

About the controversy, Ranveer asked a contestant an inappropriate question: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?” Many viewers were upset by this and criticized him on social media. Afterward, Ranveer apologized and asked the show’s creators to edit out the bad parts.

The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) released a statement asking for serious action against both Samay and Ranveer and demanded that the show be banned. Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis noted that freedom of expression has limits, and Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said she would bring this issue to the parliament.
