Madhavan rejected Vijay’s 3 Idiots remake: ‘Shankar called it a quickie, rang alarm bells’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Before R Madhavan played the role inspired by Ajit Doval in the Dhurandhar franchise, one of his most popular and most loved roles was from the film 3 Idiots. In Rajkumar Hirani’s film, led by Aamir Khan, Madhavan played Farhan, the guy who leaves engineering just before he graduates to pursue his dream of becoming a wildlife photographer. The role got him massive fame but despite all the love, Madhavan chose not to play the same role in the Tamil adaptation of the film, Nanban, directed by Shankar. In an earlier chat with Chetan Bhagat on his YouTube channel, Madhavan explained his decision and implied that he made a bunch of excuses because he did not trust the filmmaking process for the Tamil version. Chetan was the writer of the source material, Five Point Someone, which inspired these films. When asked why he chose to reject Nanban, Madhavan shared a “big formula” from his life that has often helped him – “look beyond the obvious.” ALSO READ | Dhamaal 4 movie review: Unfunny jokes, CGI …

3 min readMumbaiJul 6, 2026 09:27 AM IST Donald Trump calls urging FIFA chief Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card preceded the governing body’s extraordinary decision to lift the US striker’s suspension, as per multiple news reports. The decision prompted a celebratory post from the U.S. President and outrage from Belgium ahead of Monday’s World Cup round-of-16 clash. Trump intervened on behalf of Balogun, the Associated Press reported, and with the suspension now lifted, he will be allowed to face Belgium on Monday (Tuesday morning, IST). According to the Guardian, Trump made three phone calls to Infantino, starting last Wednesday. Balogun, the United States’ leading scorer with three goals at the tournament, was sent off for stepping awkwardly on the right ankle of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Tarik Muharemovic during the Americans’ 2-0 round-of-32 victory on Wednesday, triggering an automatic one-game suspension. FIFA announced on Sunday that the suspension had been lifted for the round-of-16 match, an extraordinary decision that appeared to mark the first time since 1962 that a World Cup red card had not …

Cricket match called off as raging bull charges at players, disrupts proceedings

3 min readUpdated: Jul 5, 2026 09:52 PM IST In a bizarre incident, a North East Premier League match between Burnopfield Cricket Club and Hetton Lyons was called off after a bull entered the field of play and kept charging at the players. After a lot of failed attempts to get the animal off the field, the match was abandoned. The bull which weighed about 800kg had escaped from a farm and had travelled for 1.6km to reach the playing field and the animal’s owner had even driven a cow to the field in order to get the bull off the ground but the ruse had failed, according to a report by the BBC. Ultimately, the police arrived before the bull left on its own. “At first it was quite novel, it was quite funny, but we never thought it was going to impact on our game being abandoned. We couldn’t get rid of it. There was no chance that the game was going to restart before the cut-off time,” Burnopfield club director Martin Oswell …

Why is Taylor Swift’s wedding called a ‘royal wedding’? MSG ceremony and NDAs explained

Published by Parlour News

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s wedding has become one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year, with fans and media alike dubbing it a “royal wedding.” While the couple have no royal titles, the comparison stems from the sheer scale of the celebrations, the tightly guarded guest list, and extraordinary security measures surrounding the event at New York’s Madison Square Garden (MSG).

What do we know about the wedding at Madison Square Garden? The celebrations began on Thursday with what is believed to have been the couple’s rehearsal dinner, marking the start of a multi-day wedding event. According to CNN, the main celebrations on …

Alia Bhatt and Sharvari get mixed feedback While the overall response to Alpha seems lukewarm at the time of writing, some agree that Alia and Sharvari carry the film ably. “The film briefly comes alive whenever Alia and Sharvari share the frame. Perhaps that’s because women facing each other in a full blooded action film is still uncommon in commercial cinema,” wrote one X (formerly Twitter) user, adding, “But the it never aims beyond the basics and ends up feeling like a quiet, forgettable spy thriller.” One social media user rated it 2.5/5, writing, “A decent watch.
