Rani Kapur alleges “forced takeover” bid in fresh plea before Supreme Court

Published by Parlour News

Amid an ongoing court-monitored mediation process in the inheritance dispute involving late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s estate, his 80-year-old mother, Ms. Rani Kapur, has moved the Supreme Court, accusing her daughter-in-law, Ms. Priya Kapur, of attempting a “forced takeover” of the disputed family assets.

Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan, which agreed to hear the matter on May 14. “Looks like we have entered into an arena where the Mahabharata will look very small. We will look into it [application],” Justice Pardiwala remarked during the hearing, as senior counsels representing the rival factions referred to fresh allegations concerning the functioning of the family trust and a proposed meeting of the company’s board. …

Before Ek Din, before Amaran, before Rowdy Baby crossed a billion views, there was a girl from Kotagiri in the Nilgiris who was going to be a cardiologist. Sai Pallavi was studying medicine in Tbilisi, Georgia, minding her business, when a film director offered her a role. The movie in question is Premam, directed by Alphonse Puthren. The year was 2015. And the actress, Sai Pallavi Senthamarai Kannan, was still a medical student who had agreed to shoot the entire film during her college holidays on the condition that it would not get in the way of her degree. She finished the degree anyway. However she never registered as a practitioner. There were too many films to make. The Nilgiris, Tbilisi, and a dance show nobody remembers Sai Pallavi was born on May 9, 1992, in a Badaga family in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, with her hometown being Kotagiri in the Nilgiris district. Dance came naturally in that household. Without any formal training, Sai competed in school events and eventually made it onto two television reality …

Warner Bros shareholders approve Paramount’s $81 billion takeover of the Hollywood giant | Hollywood News

An $81 billion Warner-Paramount mega merger has received shareholders’ stamp of approval, propelling a deal that could vastly reshape Hollywood and the wider media landscape closer to the finish line.Per a preliminary vote count on Thursday, the overwhelming majority of Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted in support of selling the entire business to Paramount for $31 a share, the company said. Including debt, the deal is valued at nearly $111 billion. Skydance-owned Paramount wants to buy all of Warner. That means HBO Max, cult-favorite titles like Harry Potter and even CNN could soon find themselves under the same roof with CBS, Top Gun and the Paramount+ streaming service. A greenlight from company shareholders increases the likelihood of that becoming a reality. But it’s not a done deal quite yet. The acquisition still faces ongoing regulatory reviews. Warner has said it expects to close sometime in the third fiscal quarter.Meanwhile, Warner shareholders rejected a separate measure Thursday that outlined post-merger payments for company executives. Paramount’s quest for Warner has been far from smooth sailing. And while …
