Actor Satyajeet Puri has recalled how the Bofors controversy allegedly surrounding Amitabh Bachchan affected his 1987 film ‘Kaun Jeeta Kaun Haara’.  The actor claimed that the backlash against the superstar was so strong that audiences stopped watching his films and even blacked out the posters of his movie.

Gurvinder Singh reveals Diljit Dosanjh’s film faced trouble due to explicit storytelling

Over the past week, Diljit Dosanjh’s Satluj has become a national talking point after Zee5 removed the film within days of its July 3 première. With many artistes and politicians debating over the sustained censorship meted out to Honey Trehan’s crime drama, where does filmmaker Gurvinder Singh — one of the most prominent voices of alternate Punjabi cinema — stand on the matter, we wondered. “Disheartening” is how he described the ban on the movie that tells the story of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who investigated the extrajudicial killings in Punjab of the 1990s.

‘My vehicle has never faced any issue’: BJP MP defends E20, admits mileage drop

Amid the huge uproar over the rollout of E20 petrol, in which 20 per cent ethanol is blended with petrol, BJP leader and member of parliament Brij Lal has said that he has faced no issues using the blended fuel in his vehicle and went on to say that those opposing it are against the country’s development and are controlled by foreign powers. The Centre has maintained that ethanol blending in India has been carried out gradually. (X/@ANINewsUP) “E20 petrol is safe. A narrative is being created, and a lobby is working against it. The Ministry has issued a clarification. I too own a vehicle, and I use the same fuel, but my vehicle has never faced any issues,” Lal told news agency ANI. Lal said E20 petrol would help reduce India’s dependence on imported crude oil while admitting that it does reduce mileage slightly.

3 min readNew DelhiJul 9, 2026 09:54 AM IST Saif Ali Khan might not be the most reliable actor at the box office, but he is known to be a strong performer who often makes a film-watching experience worthwhile. However, his recent streaming films, Kartavya and Jewel Thief, have divided the audience as the films themselves did not live up to expectations.

At least you get cast in some of these projects because people think there’s perhaps more to you.” He continued, “I think I need to attract more of those kinds of films, and I want to push myself further at this stage of my career. When I look back, at the last couple of years, …
