Ranbir Kapoor recently shared how nervous his family was before meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi. The meeting came as they celebrated the 100th birthday of their legendary family member, Raj Kapoor, who was a famous movie star.

In a video, Ranbir explained how special the day was for them. He said, “It was an honor for us to meet the PM and talk about my grandfather, Raj Kapoor. We were all quite nervous, but he made us feel so comfortable.”

During the meeting, Ranbir’s aunt, Rima Kapoor, amusingly struggled to find the right words while addressing PM Modi. When she called him by several titles, PM Modi joked, “Cut!” which made everyone laugh.

There were many fun moments at this gathering. Ranbir shared a funny story about a time he got a free taxi ride. He said that while in a car with a taxi driver, the driver asked if he was from India and started singing. When he found out Ranbir was Raj Kapoor’s grandson, he gave him a free ride!

PM Modi also spoke fondly about Raj Kapoor and how his movies affected people. He recalled a story where famous politicians LK Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee went to see Raj Kapoor’s film after losing an election. PM Modi mentioned how powerful movies were in bringing joy during tough times.

He remembered a time in China when a song by Ranbir’s father, Rishi Kapoor, was playing, and he sent a note to Rishi, who was thrilled to hear it.

PM Modi praised Raj Kapoor for showing India’s culture to the world through film, long before anyone talked about “soft power.” He explained how Raj Kapoor’s movies shaped India’s story, starting back in 1947.

Sai Pallavi, a popular actress, will play Sita in the upcoming movie “Ramayana” alongside Ranbir Kapoor, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Recently, some news claimed that Sai Pallavi stopped eating non-vegetarian food for her role as Sita. However, she strongly denied these reports and warned that she might take legal action against anyone spreading false rumors.

In her message on the platform X (formerly known as Twitter), she expressed her frustration with repeated lies about her choices, especially during important times like film releases. She mentioned that the next time she sees any trusted media sharing fake stories, she will respond legally.

It’s important to note that Sai Pallavi has always been a vegetarian. She once said, “I can’t hurt another person and think that it is okay.”

Her latest film, “Amaran,” which is based on a true story, became a big hit. Now, she’s excited to make her debut in Bollywood with “Ramayana,” which will be released in two parts, starting in 2026. The movie also features stars like Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, and Yash.

“Kraven the Hunter” is about a character named Kraven, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. This movie is the latest effort by Sony to create interesting stories with Spider-Man’s enemies. Unfortunately, it’s stuck in the past and feels outdated. The movie tries to tell Kraven’s story but gets lost trying to explain other villains like The Rhino and The Foreigner before finishing with Chameleon, hinting there might be a sequel.

Kraven, originally named Sergei Kravinoff, becomes a superhero after a strange event in Africa where he is attacked by a lion. He drinks a special potion made with lion’s blood, which gives him extraordinary hunting skills. He repeatedly claims, “Hunting people down is kind of my thing.” However, his actions don’t always make sense.

Director J.C. Chandor seems to struggle with keeping a clear story. Instead of focusing on Kraven, the film gets distracted by other villains and odd effects. At times, the movie’s fight scenes are so ridiculous they become funny.

Kraven is supposed to have animal-like abilities, but it’s confusing when he uses weapons like blow darts. He loves animals but wears a necklace made of teeth and a leather jacket. His powers, like glowing eyes and spotting far away objects, come across as silly rather than impressive. He can talk to animals, but they seem to ignore him most of the time.

Russell Crowe plays Kraven’s father, a tough and ruthless man who gives advice like, “Never fear death.” Crowe’s performance is so over-the-top that it feels more like a cartoon than real life. The film’s other villains, particularly The Rhino, are also poorly created, with costumes that look cheap.

Some talented actors, like Fred Hechinger and Ariana DeBose, don’t get enough screen time in this messy film, which doesn’t answer whether Kraven is a hero or a villain. In the end, you start to wonder, without Spider-Man in the picture, what’s the point?

“Kraven the Hunter” is rated R for strong bloody violence and language, and it runs for 127 minutes. It earns only one star out of four.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner showed how close they are this Thanksgiving by giving back to the community together. The former couple, who have three kids—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—spent their morning volunteering at the Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles. They wore matching aprons and gloves while serving meals to homeless people in Skid Row. The organization praised them on social media for their kindness and hard work.

After volunteering, Ben joined Jennifer and their children for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner at her home. Even though both have been in other relationships since their divorce—Ben married Jennifer Lopez in 2022 and separated from her earlier this year, while Jennifer is dating John Miller—they still share a strong bond.

Recently, they have traveled to Japan, celebrated Ben’s 52nd birthday, and even helped Violet move to Yale University. Their close relationship has led some friends to wonder if they might get back together.

A source said, “Ben and Jen are closer than ever. They have a strong friendship that they didn’t have before. Some friends think they might rekindle their romance.”

Ben has gone through a lot, including battling alcohol addiction. After getting the help he needed, he became sober and is now divorcing again. His hard work on himself has impressed Jennifer. “She’s seen the changes in him, and it has changed how she feels about him,” the source added. “Ben believes Jen is the best thing that ever happened to him.”

Ben has called their split “the biggest regret of my life” and admitted that his drinking caused problems in their marriage. Despite everything, Jennifer once said, “He’s the love of my life. I would marry him again if I could.”

Allu Arjun’s latest movie, “Pushpa 2: The Rule,” is making huge waves at the box office. It has become the fastest movie ever to earn ₹1000 crore worldwide!

Recently, actor Siddharth faced criticism for his comments about the movie. He said that just because many people go to see a film doesn’t mean it’s a good film. His comments upset many of Allu Arjun’s fans.

At a press event for his new film “Miss You” in Chennai, Siddharth was asked if he had any issues with Allu Arjun. He replied, “I don’t have a problem with the word ‘problem’ and feel I don’t need to explain myself. Congratulations to the team of Pushpa 2 for their success! The first movie was a big hit, so it makes sense that people want to see the sequel.”

Siddharth went on to say, “More people coming to see movies is always good. We all share a common goal—making sure films succeed. It’s rare for a film to do so well, and it’s great when it happens. Producers and artists deserve to benefit from their hard work.”

This all started when Siddharth told a Tamil YouTuber, Madan Gowri, that there’s no link between big audiences and the quality of a film. He even joked that people gather to watch construction machines like JCBs!

Siddharth’s own film “Miss You” was supposed to release before “Pushpa 2,” but its release was moved from November 29 to December 13. “Pushpa 2: The Rule” is the sequel to the 2021 hit “Pushpa: The Rise,” where Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil return to their roles.

Liam Payne, a famous singer, died on October 16 at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. He tragically fell from his balcony, and now there’s an investigation happening. Recently, two new people have been named as suspects in this case.

The investigation documents say, “We have enough reason to think these people were involved, and we need them to talk to us.” They are expected to appear in court on December 19.

After Liam’s death, Grassi, his manager, called 911 for help. He told the operator that Liam was very drunk and seemed to be in danger because he was damaging his hotel room. Grassi said he was worried Liam might hurt himself because he was close to the balcony. The operator informed Grassi that the police were already on the way. Unfortunately, they found Liam’s body shortly after the call.

A man named Rymir Sattherthwaite claims he is the illegitimate son of famous rapper Jay-Z. This news comes just after serious accusations of rape against Jay-Z. Rymir, who is 31 years old, has been trying to prove that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is his father for ten years but hasn’t had any luck.

Rymir’s mother, Wanda, was only 16 years old when she got pregnant with him after reportedly having a relationship with Jay-Z. Rymir is frustrated because he feels like Jay-Z is ignoring him while he deals with these new allegations. In a recent statement, Jay-Z expressed sadness for his family and attacked the lawyer Tony Buzbee, calling him a “fraud” and accusing him of trying to exploit the situation for money.

Rymir reacted to Jay-Z’s strong words, saying, “It hurts to see him deflect and attack instead of addressing the truth.” He believes Jay-Z should be honest about their connection and show he really cares about children, as he claims in his statements. Despite Rymir’s efforts, he says Jay-Z has never reached out to him to discuss whether he is his father.

Rymir’s mother passed away in 2019 but always insisted that Jay-Z is Rymir’s real dad. The story gets more complicated because it’s been revealed that Jay-Z had relationships with younger women in the past. Rymir wants the truth to come out so he can know his identity.
