4 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Jun 26, 2026 02:06 PM IST Vijay is still awaiting the release of his last theatrical film, Jana Nayagan, but amid the back and forth between the makers and the CBFC, the actor was elected as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in May 2026. Vijay is enjoying the spotlight now, albeit in a different capacity than he enjoyed earlier as a movie star. His fans and colleagues, who have praised him for decades, are continuing to cheer for him and recently, former actor Riva Bubber, who made her debut with ‘Thalapathy’ back in 1996, recalled her experience of working with him. Riva made her debut in the entertainment industry with Selvaa, where she played the role of Kamini, the daughter of the President of Sri Lanka, and Vijay played her bodyguard. Riva, in a chat with the YouTube channel India Now and How, shared that she was a “child back then, all of 17.” She recalled shooting with Vijay in Ooty and said that even though she had done some …

3 min readMumbaiJun 10, 2026 12:00 PM IST Alpha teaser: Shiv Rawail’s spy thriller Alpha has finally dropped its first teaser. The next instalment of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious YRF Spy Universe, Alpha stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in lead roles, as they’re all set to headline the universe’s first female-fronted tentpole. They’re joined by Bobby Deol, who plays Baba, the mentor of Alia’s character Sita. What’s in the Alpha teaser? The Alpha teaser takes a time leap from the post-credit scene of Ayan Mukerji’s spy thriller War 2 last year. In that scene, Bobby’s character is seen tattooing a young Sita’s arm with the logo of Alpha. The teaser begins with Sita and Baba sharing a toast on her 18th birthday — only for Baba to hand her a small box, gifting her her first-ever spy mission on the special occasion, as soon as she becomes an adult. Sita looks slightly disappointed initially, upon learning that the fancy dinner her mentor organized for her wasn’t in celebration of her 18th birthday, but in celebration of her …

T20 World Cup: Why Jasprit Bumrah’s 18th over was a bloodless coup, that froze England | Cricket News

Published by Webster

One short of a 500-run aggregate, with 73 boundaries — a record in a T20 World Cup match — and economy rates of bowlers going through the roof: that was the flattest of pitches at the medium-sized Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. The second semifinal – India vs England was the epitome of ‘a batsmen’s game’ till the start of 18th over of England’s chase. England required 45 runs from 18 balls; one skyscraper on the run chart and it was curtains for India. Enter Jasprit Bumrah, the freak of a genius who possesses variations to bewilder an elite poker player. But Bumrah didn’t go for showbiz. He was audaciously simple, a yorker-delivering metronome. Captain Suryakumar Yadav’s last throw of the dice was as safe as a bank. Bumrah’s six balls cost India just six runs when under the pump in a knockout game in which both teams scored at over 12 runs an over. Certainly, this wasn’t the perfect over. Three attempted yorkers, two to Sam Curran and one to Jacob Bethell, were …

The misery for Manchester United continues with nothing going their way in the Premier League 2024-25 season. On Friday, United were handed a 1-0 loss by Chelsea for their 18th loss of the league, compounding problems for the Ruben Amorim side.

You look at United and go, they’re not really good at anything,” he said. “The fans, even here tonight, I don’t think the United …
