On Friday evening, Sony Pictures Networks released a teaser hinting at Rohit’s debut with a show that promises to be fully entertaining. The over one-minute-and-forty-second clip shows Rohit interacting with his fans, who eagerly urge him to deliver his now-iconic line, “Koi bhi garden mein nahi ghumega (No one will roam in the garden).” One by one, fans keep asking him to repeat the line, and as the teaser progresses, Rohit grows increasingly exasperated, so much so that he eventually walks away. At one point in the promo, Rohit Sharma gets so frustrated that he makes a call and tells his assistant to stop the work happening in the garden on his home terrace, as he is fed up with hearing about the garden over and over again. Later, reacting to the overwhelming craze, Rohit quips, “Do line kya bol di, itna viral ho gaya… …

Why Indian broadcasters are shying away from FIFA World Cup

Why Indian broadcasters are shying away from FIFA World Cup

4 min readApr 24, 2026 10:55 PM IST Forty-six days remain until kick-off between Mexico and South Africa, and no Indian broadcaster is publicising that they will show the football World Cup yet. FIFA, which first quoted $100 million for broadcasting rights for two editions (2026 and 2030), have now been forced to drag down the asking price to $35 million. Those in the know of developments in Indian sports broadcasting, delved into the different reasons why they are shying away from the quadrennial showpiece, one of the most-watched sporting events in the world. “There was a huge mismatch between the seller’s (FIFA) asking price, and the advertising revenue that a buyer could generate. FIFA quoted too high a figure,” an industry insider said. This time around, the major factor of huge concern is the fact that of the 104 FIFA WC matches this June-July, only 10% will not take place between midnight and 6am IST. It’s a bad hour anyway, and given India doesn’t feature, 90% of matches are not really attractive for a …

Goat North America Box Office: Sony Animation Joins The $100M Club(Photo Credit –Facebook) Sony’s original animation, Goat, has achieved a major feat at the domestic box office. The animated feature has become one of the very few post-COVID films to do so. It has also edged closer to the $200 million milestone at the worldwide box office.

The gap between Hoppers and this Sony animation has widened significantly and is unlikely to close. Goat’s 7th three-day weekend collection in North America According to Box Office Mojo’s …
