Ghooskhor Pandat to be retitled after backlash; Delhi HC closes plea New Delhi: The makers of the upcoming Netflix film originally titled Ghooskhor Pandat, starring Manoj Bajpayee, have decided to change the film’s title following public backlash and legal objections. The controversy began after the title , combining a word commonly understood to mean “bribe-taker” with a variation of “Pandit,” a term associated with Brahmin priests — drew criticism from sections of the community. Critics argued that the title appeared to link a caste group with corruption and could hurt religious sentiments. A petition was subsequently filed in the Delhi High Court seeking a stay on the film’s release. The plea contended that the title and promotional material were defamatory and could disturb communal harmony. During the hearing, the producers and the streaming platform informed the court that they would change the title and remove existing promotional material carrying the original name. The court then disposed of the petition. The issue also triggered protests and criticism on social media, with some industry bodies reportedly stating that the original title had not received formal approval through standard processes. Earlier, actor Manoj Bajpayee and director Neeraj Pandey had clarified that the film is a work of fiction and was not intended to target any community. They said the title was connected to the narrative and character arc within the story. The new title of the film and i... #title #public_backlash #upcoming_Netflix #Ghooskhor_Pandat #Netflix_film #titled_Ghooskhor #Pandat #legal_objections #originally_titled #Ghooskhor

Mumbai court restrains CarryMinati from posting defamatory content against Karan Johar A Mumbai court has restrained YouTuber Ajey Nagar, popularly known as CarryMinati, along with talent manager Deepak Char and others, from publishing or circulating any defamatory content against filmmaker Karan Johar on social media platforms. The order was passed on February 9 by Principal Sessions Judge P. G. Bhonsale in the matter titled Karan Johar v. Ajey Nagar & Ors. The plea was filed by Johar through Apoorva Mehta, CEO of Dharma Productions, the banner owned by the filmmaker. Allegations of defamatory and abusive contentIn his plea, Johar claimed that the social media influencers had made defamatory statements about him in videos uploaded on YouTube. “The statements are so vulgar and abusive that they immediately needs to be taken down,” Johar’s plea stated. Counsel for Nagar argued before the court that the videos in question had already been taken down and that there was no surviving cause for Johar to approach the court. However, Johar countered this submission, stating that although the original videos were deleted, they had already been viewed by “millions of people”. “Unknown persons are making reels of it and again circulating it in the social media,” Johar argued. Court grants ad-interim injunctionAfter hearing the submissions, the court observed that prima facie it appeared that Nagar and Char had made defamatory statements and used vulgar language against Johar.... #Mumbai #Karan_Johar #Johar #manager_Deepak #Mumbai_court #Deepak_Char #defamatory_content #restrains_CarryMinati #Ajey_Nagar #Principal_Sessions
Tamannaah Bhatia’s Ragini MMS 3 put on hold as director Sahir Raza exits amid scheduling clash: Report Tamannaah Bhatia’s reported association with Ektaa Kapoor’s Ragini MMS 3 had generated significant interest earlier this year, especially among fans of the long-running horror franchise. However, the much-anticipated third instalment has now reportedly hit a pause, with the project being put on hold indefinitely. According to a report by Variety India, filmmaker Sahir Raza, who was set to direct Ragini MMS 3, has been removed from the project due to scheduling conflicts. His exit has created uncertainty around the film’s production timeline. Why Sahir Raza exited Ragini MMS 3 The report indicates that Sahir Raza is currently serving as a showrunner on a Netflix series. A recent mandate from the streaming platform reportedly requires the showrunner’s daily presence on set, which has led to a scheduling overlap with Ragini MMS 3. The source further added, “This development has left Ekta Kapoor’s film temporarily stranded, with no clarity on its production timeline. Although they are actively looking for a replacement director, the film doesn’t seem to be starting anytime soon, marking a significant hurdle for the franchise. ”While the makers are reportedly searching for a new director, there is currently no official announcement regarding when the Tamannaah Bhatia-led film will go on floors.

“UP Police book Shreyas Talpade in alleged investment cheating case, FIR registered in Mainpuri” Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh: The Bhogaon police in Uttar Pradesh’s Mainpuri district have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade and 12 others over an alleged investment fraud, officials said on Wednesday. According to the complaint filed on February 10, a resident of Mohalla Mishrana in Bhogaon accused Talpade and his associates of allegedly cheating him out of lakhs of rupees by promoting a purported investment scheme that promised high returns. Police allege that the accused operated what was presented as a “Mumbai-based bank branch” in the locality, encouraging villagers and local residents to invest money with assurances of substantial profits. When investors later sought repayment, they were reportedly unable to recover their funds, prompting the complaint and a court-directed registration of the FIR. The case has been filed under sections related to cheating and fraud. Authorities said they are examining the extent of the alleged scam and the specific roles of those named in the complaint. This is not the first time Talpade’s name has surfaced in connection with alleged financial irregularities. Last year, a separate case in western Uttar Pradesh involved hundreds of investors who claimed they were duped by a cooperative society that allegedly used the names and images of film personalities in its promotions.

Salman Khan shoots a patriotic song for Battle Of Galwan at Minister of Defence's request Salman Khan is going all-out to ensure that his war film Battle Of Galwan turns out to be another success in the genre after Border 2. In the bid to raise the emotional content of the product, Salman called his director Apoorva Lakhia last week and asked him to shoot a patriotic song, paying homage to the real-life soldiers on whom the film is based. “They shot the song literally overnight. Salman wanted the song for the end-credits paying homage to all the martyrs who are featured in the film. Director Apoorva Lakhia, who was on a short break, had to rush back and shoot the song,” an informed source revealed. The song, written and sung by Ayaan Lall (actress Kunicka Lall’s son), is filmed on Salman as the end credit will roll. The names and pictures of the martyred soldiers will flash on screen as Salman will lip-sync along. Ayaan Lall played a small sole in Salman’s Sikandar. The request for this soldierly homage came from the Minister of Defence Rajnath Singh himself.
