FWICE demands withdrawal of Ghooskhor Pandat title, warns of strict action The controversy around the upcoming Netflix film Ghooskhor Pandat, produced by Neeraj Pandey and starring Manoj Bajpayee, grew more intense this week after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) formally objected to its title and urged the makers to withdraw it, warning of significant industry action if the demand is not met. The dispute began soon after the film’s announcement and teaser release, with many viewers and various organisations criticising the title Ghooskhor Pandat as offensive and potentially derogatory toward a specific community. The title combines ghooskhor — a colloquial Hindi term for someone who takes bribes — with Pandat, commonly associated with the Brahmin community. Critics argued that this linkage could perpetuate stereotypes and hurt sentiments. FWICE’s Objection and Warning FWICE, a body representing workers, technicians and artists across more than three dozen affiliated associations, sent a letter to producers’ bodies and major OTT platforms, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Zee5 and SonyLIV. The organisation, according to a PTI report, stated: “FWICE and all its affiliated associations strongly object to the use of this title, as it appears to single out and target a particular community and its traditional means of livelihood in a derogatory and offensive manner. ”The letter added, “Such a title has the potential to hurt sentiments, provoke misu... #Manoj_Bajpayee #Ghooskhor_Pandat #Neeraj_Pandey #Cine_Employees #Western_India #India_Cine #starring_Manoj #demands_withdrawal #strict_action #industry_action

Prakash Raj is no longer part of Spirit due to creative disagreements with Sandeep Reddy Vanga: Report National Award-winning actor Prakash Raj is said to have been dropped from the highly anticipated Telugu action drama Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and headlined by Prabhas and Triptii Dimri. The development has drawn attention after the film’s launch, where Raj’s name and voice had featured prominently in early promotional material. Spirit, which is being shot in Hyderabad and has generated significant buzz as one of the most ambitious projects in South Indian cinema, now appears to be facing internal challenges beyond its scale and star cast. A report by OTT Play suggests that creative disagreements and on-set friction between Prakash Raj and the filmmaking team may have led to the actor’s exit. According to the report, the dispute reportedly arose over the script and the execution of a particular sequence. While specific details of the disagreement have not been publicly disclosed, sources within the industry described the interaction as a “heated disagreement. ” However, neither Prakash Raj nor the makers of Spirit have issued an official statement confirming the circumstances of his departure. Raj’s involvement had generated anticipation after his authoritative voice was used in the film’s launch materials, suggesting a significant role, potentially as a senior figure in the narrative. The developments surrounding Spirit come months after another key castin... #Reddy #Sandeep_Reddy #Reddy_Vanga #Triptii_Dimri #National_Award-winning #Prakash_Raj #anticipated_Telugu #Telugu_action #Report_National #Award-winning_actor
“Disappointing”: Vikrant Massey BREAKS SILENCE on being replaced by Raghav Juyal in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Actor Vikrant Massey addressed widespread rumours surrounding his alleged role in Ramayana, a two-part film directed by Nitesh Tiwari, and reports that he was replaced by Raghav Juyal. The speculation began earlier this week, triggering reactions across social media and entertainment outlets. In a post shared on his Instagram Stories, Massey firmly denied being part of the project. “Ok. To put the rumours to rest. I never was a part of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan,” he wrote, reflecting on the coverage that suggested he had lost a role in the film. “The many media portals reporting about my supposed ‘replacement’ should’ve done the requisite background check. Disappointing. Nonetheless, wishing everyone a part of the movie all the very best. Love. ”The actor later deleted the post from his Instagram Story, though no explanation was given for its removal. The controversy stemmed from a report by Variety India mentioning that Raghav Juyal had been cast as Meghanad (also called Indrajit) — the eldest son of Ravana and a key warrior in the Ramayana narrative — for Ramayana: Part 2. The same report indicated that the role was once linked to Massey before the filmmakers made a different casting choice. The publication quoted a source saying, “The role was initially supposed to be played by Vikrant Massey, but things apparently didn't work out. Raghav was subsequently a... #replaced #BREAKS_SILENCE #Nitesh_Tiwari #Massey_BREAKS #Vikrant_Massey #Raghav_Juyal #addressed_widespread #Massey_addressed #Massey #Tiwari
