He-Man’s global fandom surprised ‘Masters of the Universe’ stars Nicholas Galitzine & Camila Mendes

Published by Parlour News

Mumbai, Actors Nicholas Galitzine and Camila Mendes, who star in “He-Man and The Masters of the Universe”, could fully grasp the massive global popularity surrounding the iconic superhero character He-Man only after they were cast in the movie adaptation. He-Man’s global fandom surprised ‘Masters of the Universe’ stars Nicholas Galitzine & Camila Mendes The new film is based on Mattel’s famous toy line, which inspired a successful animated TV series in 1983 and a 1987 film starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. Galitzine, known for his romantic dramas “Red, White & Royal Blue”, “The Idea of You” and comedy film “Bottoms”, portrays the iconic character of He-Man in “Masters of the Universe”. The actor said he was unaware of the franchise’s legacy in India, where He-Man became a childhood favorite superhero in the late 1980s. “I didn’t know it was massive in India. Both of us kind of realized the magnitude of the following when getting cast in the roles, and we have to remember this is a 40-year-old …

Should Gill and Sudharsan open in World Cup 2028? ‘I’ll be surprised’: Rayudu

Published by Webster

3 min readMay 30, 2026 06:05 PM IST Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have put on 11 century-partnerships as openers together for the Gujarat Titans. They got their 11th in a crucial qualifier-2 game against the Rajasthan Royals on Friday. Both of them, unlike other opening partnerships in this tournament, are more orthodox and have been able to hurt the bowlers through a more conventional style of batting. Former IPL winner Ambati Rayudu predicted that Gill-Sudharsan might be the opening combination India should consider for the World Cup 2028, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand. “I think we are witnessing a pair that might travel to Australia and tackle the conditions there. The wicket was very similar in pace and bounce. And the ease with which these two are batting…I’ll be surprised if both of them don’t go there,” Rayudu said on ESPN Cricinfo. “If conditions suit them, if you take a Gill, you would like to take Sudharsan as well, because they both complement each other beautifully. You are seeing it …

3 min readUpdated: May 4, 2026 06:43 PM IST Former India player Mohammad Kaif expressed his surprise at Punjab Kings not opting to utilize IPL’s record wicket-taker Yuzvendra Chahal against the Gujarat Titans on Sunday. Chahal bowled just one over in the match, conceding 13 runs as GT won the encounter by 4 wickets. “It surprises me to see a highest wicket taker of ipl history Yuzi Chahal bowl just one over against GT. Remember he has 228 ipl wickets in which 139 have come on the flat Chinnaswamy during his 8 years with RCB. Ok, the pitch had grass but Chahal is an IPL great he could have found ways to get wickets. Punjab needs to trust him more,” Kaif said on X. After the match, PBKS player Suryansh Shedge, who made his maiden IPL fifty on Sunday, said the team opted to rely more on pace than spin, with the 7.5m length and two-paced surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium making strokeplay difficult. It surprises me to see a highest wicket taker of …

Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei were a tough act to follow. But Viktor Axelsen built a bridge to Asia by learning Mandarin, picking brains of Asian contemporaries and coaches. He worked incredibly hard on tall agility to form a seamless succession – where the twice Olympic champion from 2021 Tokyo and 2024 Paris, became one of the greatest men’s singles shuttlers to play the sport. It was quite poetic that his announcement to retire came in the week following the emergence of similarly 6’4″ Ayush Shetty of India, making finals of the Badminton Asia Championships. Wracked by injuries to the ankle and prominently the back that made even training normally impossible, let alone reaching former heights, Axelsen would tell the Average Not Average podcast that he had always been Viktor, a badminton player, but now that part of him was eating into rest of him. Carolina Marin had announced her own retirement speaking of similar struggles to return to court while battling pain, a fortnight ago. Besides his two Olympic gold medals, Axelsen dubbed …

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) suffered their first loss of IPL 2026, losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 57 runs on Monday. At the heart of their defeat were two IPL debutants – Praful Hinge and Sakibul Hussain – who shared eight wickets between them to clinch victory for the hosts, their first at home this season. One of Hinge’s four wickets was Riyan Parag, who fell for four runs, and the RR captain said that the batsmen were surprised by the pace at which the ball came onto the bat, which eventually led to RR reeling at 9/5 inside the powerplay. “I felt it was a mix of everything. I felt we were a little surprised by the pace of the ball when it left the hand and how it came off the wicket. The first three of them, if you watch them really closely, Vaibhav expected it a little quicker, and came a little stickier. Same for Dhruv (Jurel), nib-backed in. Same for Jaiswal, he hits that nine out of 10 times, and that stopped.” …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 21, 2026 01:47 PM IST The musical chairs of Pakistan coaching jobs seem to be a never-ending one. Former World Cup-winning coach with India and Test Mace winner with South Africa, Gary Kirsten, who tried his luck in the Pakistan coaching job, revealed that the level of interference and noise from the outside at this level was surprising to him. Kirsten was handed a two-year contract in the Pakistan white-ball set-up; however, he could only manage to stay in the job for six months, after which Jason Gillespie, who was the red-ball coach, stepped in as a quick-fix to manage the white-ball tour to Australia. “The thing that surprised me more than anything was the level of interference. I don’t think I have ever seen it at that level before. Did it surprise me? I don’t know, but it was significant,” Kirsten said while speaking to talkSPORT Cricket. “It is quite difficult for a coach to come and formulate a way that you can work with the players when there is …
