Kamal Haasan on 45-year-old movie idea finally releasing: ‘I am 71 and I get to see it’ | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

5 min readChennaiJun 7, 2026 04:08 PM IST Four decades ago, somewhere in Kerala, Kamal Haasan and director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao were sitting together talking about a film. Not Pushpaka Vimana, which they were already working on. Another film entirely, one where every line of dialogue would be sung. Nobody would agree to make it but they kept talking about it anyway. 45 years later, that film is releasing on June 11 as Sing Geetham, directed by Singeetham at the age of 94. Talking about the film at a pre-release event in Chennai, Kamal reminisced about the first time he met the director. “Our first movie happened rather casually when we met in Mumbai. That day we spoke about two films, Pushpaka Vimana and Sing Geetham. I was 20 when we were talking about it. Now, I am 71 and I get to see this movie. Some ideas are ageless, and that is why he is like that. He is full of ideas. And hence age is just a number. Like take two, take three, …

Why hiding your mouth while abusing rivals is a bad idea at 2026 FIFA World Cup | Football News

Why hiding your mouth while abusing rivals is a bad idea at 2026 FIFA World Cup | Football News

Published by Webster

Don’t have something to hide? Don’t cover your mouth when you say it. “That’s it, as simple as that,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated about the new red card rule to be adopted at the 2026 World Cup. The rule empowers referees to eject players who hide their mouths during run-ins with opponents. It was a direct consequence of Gianluca Prestianni’s dubious conduct towards Vinicius Junior in their February UEFA Champions League face-off. Moments after netting a stunner, Vinicius alleged racial abuse and was vehemently backed by Real Madrid teammate Kylian Mbappe, who said Prestianni “doesn’t deserve to play this competition”. The 20-year-old Benfica forward retorted by claiming the Brazilian “misinterpreted what he thinks he heard”, and was eventually handed a six-match ban for homophobic remarks instead. FIFA later extended the ban globally, which meant Prestianni would have missed Argentina’s first two World Cup games had he been picked in the squad. Racism and homophobia lie in the same offence category under Article 14 of UEFA’s disciplinary regulations, and the striker’s mouth-shielding with his jersey …

‘Dumbest idea of all time’: Internet fumes as JioHotstar livestreams Dhurandhar The Revenge ‘like TV’ for OTT premiere

Published by Parlour News

For people eager to watch Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar The Revenge from the comfort of their homes, the film’s June 4 debut on JioHotstar seemed like a reason to celebrate. But the excitement was short-lived. Soon after the release, social media was flooded with complaints from disgruntled viewers who realised that the platform was live-streaming the film. Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar The Revenge was released on Netflix internationally last month. Frustrated viewers took to social media, claiming the format stripped away one of the biggest perks of an OTT release — the freedom to watch on their own schedule – and dampened the overall viewing experience. Social media users fume Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller made its digital debut in India on JioHotstar on June 4, with the platform opting for a live-streaming format for the premiere. However, the film has been made available for regular streaming from June 5. One social media user wrote, “Hotstar is streaming Dhurandhar 2 in a live format, no OTT is as embarrassing as this one”, with another stating, “They streamed #Dhurandhar2 …

Choreographer Shabina Khan reveals it was Salman Khan’s idea to shoot Maatrubhumi song in black and white

Choreographer Shabina Khan reveals it was Salman Khan’s idea to shoot Maatrubhumi song in black and white

Published by Webster

In choreographer Shabina Khan’s words, Salman Khan’s songs are usually “fast and filled with masti”. That’s exactly why Main Hoon Reprise, the latest song from Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, stands out. The track sees leading lady Chitrangda Singh yearning for her husband, essayed by the superstar.  “Shooting the song in black-and-white was Salman bhai’s idea, but the storytelling is mine,” smiled Shabina, before adding, “It’s a different choreographic approach focused on emotion, stillness, and storytelling rather than hook steps.”   Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

IPL shake-up on the cards? Hardik Pandya for Dube, Mhatre trade idea suggested as CSK nudged for captaincy change

IPL shake-up on the cards? Hardik Pandya for Dube, Mhatre trade idea suggested as CSK nudged for captaincy change

Published by Parlour News

The uncertainty surrounding Hardik Pandya’s future at Mumbai Indians has become increasingly difficult to ignore. Calls for his release have gathered momentum following a disappointing IPL campaign in which the five-time champions finished ninth on the table. It was a season where MI struggled to find rhythm from the outset, with senior players unable to step up in high-pressure moments and the team repeatedly faltering when it mattered most. Hardik Pandya’s captaincy came under the scanner this season. (PTI) Hardik’s leadership also came under scrutiny as Mumbai failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second time in three seasons under his captaincy. The move to hand him the reins after a high-profile trade from Gujarat Titans, replacing long-time skipper Rohit Sharma, was always going to be a bold call. However, the results have yet to justify the decision, with questions now being raised about both the direction of the side and Hardik’s long-term role in the leadership setup at the franchise. Subramaniam Badrinath has stirred conversation with a bold trade suggestion involving Hardik and …

For Anupam Kher, his relationship with Kirron Kher began long before romance entered the picture. Recalling their early years as friends, the actor revealed that he had never imagined marrying Kirron, despite the two sharing a close bond for years before eventually falling in love and tying the knot in 1985. Speaking to Times Now, the veteran actor opened up about their friendship, his first impressions of Kirron and the unexpected turn that changed their lives. Anupam recalled meeting Kirron during their days at the Department of Indian Theatre in Chandigarh, where she was already a well-known figure among students. “Kirron was one year senior to me in the Department of Indian Theatre in Chandigarh.

Even after moving to Mumbai, the two remained close friends. At the time, Kirron was married to businessman Gautam Berry, while Anupam was trying to …

Deepika Padukone, Kriti Sanon’s skincare brands ‘not a very good idea’, says Shark Tank India judge | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Bollywood celebrities have broadened their revenue stream and are now actively pursuing entrepreneurship as their side hustle. Actors like Deepika Padukone and Kriti Sanon have their skincare brands, and they have been actively promoting them since launch. But, contrary to what a layperson might think, celebrity-led brands can’t just be successful because the founder is widely known. Shark Tank India judge Shaily Mehrotra, who also has a skincare brand, said that it’s not a very good idea for celebrities to enter the skincare space as the consumer is more interested in reading labels than looking at whose picture is on the packaging. In a chat with Soha Ali Khan on her YouTube channel, Shaily was asked about the skincare lines of Deepika, Kriti and Mira Kapoor. She said, “I don’t think it’s a very good idea. The brand is associated with their name; it might sell… It won’t happen now. The customer is very different right now. 15 years ago, the customer was very different. They were really attracted by celebrities and their faces but …

Pralhad Joshi, Union Cabinet Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and New and Renewable Energy, on the BJP electoral wins in Assam and West Bengal, the impact of the US-Iran war on the renewable energy sector and his party’s stand on women’s quota and delimitation. The session was moderated by Harikishan Sharma, Senior Assistant Editor, The Indian Express. Harikishan Sharma: In the recent Assembly elections, your party did extremely well in the eastern states. What worked in your favour? As far as Assam is concerned, it was good governance. If your intentions are good, if you are here for the welfare of the people and work honestly, ultimately, this is the outcome. Just look at the Congress party. People are now questioning why they should vote for the Congress. Its arrogance has become the party’s unbecoming. In West Bengal, it was an anti-incumbency sentiment — against arrogance and harassing people, no law and order. People were really fed up. They were never allowed to vote. But this time, the administration, especially, the Election …

PM Modi: Somnath’s glory and the sacred idea of Bharat: In a world marked by divisions, the spirit of unity is more relevant than ever | India News

Published by Parlour News

At the start of 2026, I had gone to Somnath for the Somnath Swabhiman Parv, marking a thousand years since the first attack on the Somnath Temple. Now, I will be back in Somnath on May 11 to mark 75 years since the inauguration of the restored temple by the then President of India, Dr Rajendra Prasad. In less than half a year, it is a privilege to be attending two important milestones relating to Somnath and its journey from ruin to renewal, or what we describe as from “Vidhvans” to “Srijan”. Somnath gives us a civilisational message. The vast sea before it evokes timelessness. The waves tell us… that no matter how fierce the storms are or how turbulent the tides are, one can always rise again with dignity and strength. The waves return to the shore, as though reminding every generation that the spirit of the people can never be subdued for long. Our ancient scriptures say: प्रभासं च परिक्रम्य पृथिवीक्रमसंभवम्. It means, a Pradakshina of the divine Prabhasa (Somnath) is equal to …
