Priyanka Chopra, Varanasi and the question of a Telugu debut; was the Ram Charan starrer Thoofan forgotten? The Varanasi team’s widely circulated interview with Screen Rant features a rather awkward moment. When the interviewer asks Priyanka Chopra about her Telugu debut in Varanasi, the actor says she cannot remember when she last did a Telugu film. Mahesh Babu quickly steps in to add, “This is her first Telugu film. ”But that is not entirely accurate. Priyanka Chopra had, in fact, featured in the Telugu version of the Amitabh Bachchan classic Zanjeer in 2013. Titled Thoofan, the Ram Charan starrer had Priyanka playing his love interest in what was admittedly a small role. At the time, Chopra had expressed considerable gratitude to the makers of Thoofan, as opportunities in Bollywood were scarce for her then. A senior member of the Thoofan team views her current statement as a case of selective amnesia. “When we signed her for Thoofan, nobody in the Hindi film industry was willing to sign her. We ourselves felt the role was not substantial enough for a future global star like her. But she was eager and did the role happily. Now she seems to have forgotten her Telugu debut altogether,” the team member says. Sources suggest that the Varanasi team is keen to position the film as Priyanka Chopra’s Telugu debut. But should that come at the cost of factual accuracy?Also Read: Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals her ONLY request for Varanasi was to dance: “Poor Mahesh Babu had to... #Priyanka_Chopra #Priyanka #Chopra #Telugu_debut #Telugu #Varanasi #Ram_Charan #Screen_Rant #Telugu_film #Varanasi_team

Manoj Bajpayee film Ghuskhor Pandit controversy reaches courts; Netflix reconsiders release Trouble continues to mount for Manoj Bajpayee’s film Ghuskhor Pandit. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has reportedly personally instructed the state’s law enforcement agencies to register an FIR against the director, producers and members of the film’s team. This development significantly adds to the growing list of challenges confronting the project. The teaser trailer of Ghuskhor Pandit—which translates to “corrupt priest” has triggered nationwide protests. Several organisations and individuals have demanded that the film’s title, which they describe as “casteist”, be changed immediately. The Sarva Brahmin Mahasabha in Jaipur has strongly opposed the title, stating that the controversy extends beyond cinema or entertainment value. According to the organisation, the title reflects a deepening caste-based mindset that it finds unacceptable. In Bhopal, members of the Brahmin community have taken to the streets to protest against the film and its title, demanding that the trailer be removed. Protesters have warned of nationwide agitation if their demands are not met. The matter has also reached the courts. A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Delhi High Court challenging the film’s title. Amid the escalating controversy, Netflix has reportedly taken down the teaser and promotional material of Ghuskhor Pandit.
