Neeraj Pandey in his affidavit on the new title for Ghooskhor Pandat, “Any title that may hereafter be identified and adopted shall not be similar to the earlier one” After the brouhaha over the supposedly casteist title, Manoj Bajpayee’s film is no longer Ghooskhor Pandat.

The JD(U) national spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad said, “Films made with such caste-indicative titles are increasing tensions in society.

The 2004 political action drama will re-release in theatres on February 20, 2026, at PVR INOX cinemas. Actor Esha Deol announced the re-release in a video message, describing the film as “extremely close to my heart. ” She recalled the experience of working with filmmaker Mani Ratnam and co-stars Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek Oberoi. “Yuva was such a special journey for me,” Deol said, adding that being part of a youth-centric film that continues to resonate makes the re-release even more meaningful. She also referenced the Tamil version of the film, which featured Suriya in one of the lead roles.

‘Cultural insensitivity’: Mamata slams PM Modi over ‘Swami’ prefix to Ramakrishna’s name West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for using the prefix 'Swami' for Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsadeva on his birth anniversary.
