A mobile phone game inspired by the Malayalam movie ‘Vilayath Budha’ A mobile phone game inspired by the Malayalam movie ‘Vilayath Budha’ has made waves as it marks a significant milestone in the intersection of film and gaming. The open-world mobile game, titled Vilayath Budha: The Sandalwood Survival, features actor Prithviraj Sukumaran and was not developed as part of the film’s promotional efforts. The game’s creators, Offline Human Studios, have secured intellectual property consent to use assets from the film, including Prithviraj’s likeness. Released in February 2026, the game is credited as India’s first movie-inspired open-world mobile game and the first collaboration between a production house, Urvasi Theatres, and a gaming company. The project also stands out for featuring Prithviraj, a South Indian actor known for his pan-India appeal, in a game of this scale. The Malayalam film Vilayath Budha, released in 2025, is based on the novel of the same name by GR Indugopan. It follows the story of Double Mohanan, a sandalwood smuggler, his mentor Bhaskaran Master, and the sacred sandalwood tree, Vilayath Budha. Prithviraj portrays Mohanan in the film. Karthik Suresh, a co-founder of Offline Human Studios, emphasized that the game was not a promotional tool for the film. “There is a perception that this is a promotion for the film. It is not,” he said. The game was developed independently, with its early access launch in early February 2026, months after the film’s November 2025 release. The team had been working on the project for over six months, aiming to create an immersive experience that leverages the film’s narrative and setting.#vilayath_budha #prithviraj_sukumaran #offline_human_studios #urvasi_theatres #marayoor

Today’s Sehri and Iftar Timings in Major Indian Cities Ramadan observances continue across India on Monday, March 9, with distinct schedules for the pre-dawn meal (Sehri) and sunset meal (Iftar) in different cities. In Kolkata, the earliest timings are observed, with Sehri at 4:37 AM and Iftar at 5:45 PM. In contrast, Mumbai and Ahmedabad have later timings, reflecting variations based on local sunrise and sunset patterns.

In cities with longer days during this period, the Sehri time is earlier, allowing for a longer fasting period. Conversely, in cities with shorter days, the Iftar time is later, accommodating the sunset. This adjustment ensures that the fast aligns with the natural cycles of each area. The timings are widely used by communities to plan their daily routines, from prayer schedules to social gatherings. Many mosques and Islamic organizations also rely on these timings to coordinate activities during the holy month.

Rocco Reitz Verlässt Gladbach für Leipzig mit Vertrag bis 2031 Der 23-jährige Mittelfeldspieler von Borussia Mönchengladbach, Rocco Reitz, hat sich mit RB Leipzig auf einen Wechsel geeinigt. Laut Berichten der Zeitschrift DIE ZEIT hat sich der Spieler mit den Sachsen auf einen Vertrag bis 2031 verständigt. Reitz bleibt derzeit bei Gladbach bis 2028 unter Vertrag, besitzt jedoch eine Ausstiegsklausel, die laut Quellen bei rund 25 Millionen Euro liegen soll. Leipzig möchte den Transferpreis frei verhandeln und den Betrag reduzieren. Reitz soll bei Leipzig die Nachfolge von Xaver Schlager antreten, der österreichische Nationalspieler und aktueller Kapitän der Mannschaft. Schlager hatte zuvor angekündigt, seinen Vertrag nicht verlängern zu wollen. Der Wechsel markiert einen weiteren Schritt in der Planung der Sachsen, die nach dem Abgang von Schlager auf eine neue Führungsspitze in der Mitte setzen. Die Vereinbarung zwischen Reitz und Leipzig unterstreicht die intensiven Verhandlungen um den Spieler, der in der Bundesliga als technisch versierter Kreativspielers gilt. Sein Transfer könnte die Kaderstruktur der Sachsen deutlich beeinflussen, insbesondere in der Offensive. Die Details des Vertrags sowie die endgültige Zustimmung der Vereinsführung von Gladbach sind laut Berichten noch nicht offiziell bekannt. Der Transfer unterstreicht zudem die wachsende Konkurrenz um qualifizierte Spieler in der Bundesliga, wo Vereine wie Leipzig auf der Suche nach neuen Talenten sind, um ihre Position in der Liga zu stärken. Reitz’ Wechsel könnte auch Auswirkungen auf die Bundesliga-Planung der kommenden Saison haben, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Kaderentwicklung der beteiligten Clubs.#borussia_mnchengladbach #rocco_reitz #rb_leipzig #xaver_schlager #die_zeit

Rocco Reitzs Transfer zu RB Leipzig löst Unmut bei Borussia Mönchengladbach-Fans aus Der mögliche Wechsel des Vizekapitäns Rocco Reitz zu RB Leipzig hat in der Fancommunity von Borussia Mönchengladbach heftige Reaktionen ausgelöst. Der 23-Jährige, der seit 2021 bei den Rheinländern unter Vertrag steht, hat sich laut Sky Sport News mit den Sachsen auf einen Transfer geeinigt. Der Vertrag bei RB Leipzig umfasst eine Laufzeit bis 2031. In Leipzig könnte Reitz die Rolle von Xaver Schlager und Kevin Kampl im zentralen Mittelfeld übernehmen. Die Vereine müssen nun nur noch die Ablöse klären. Reitz besitzt in seinem noch bis 2028 laufenden Vertrag bei Gladbach eine Ausstiegsklausel für den Sommer 2026. Die Summe liegt zwischen 25 und 28 Millionen Euro. Die Sachsen sind jedoch nicht bereit, die volle Summe zu zahlen und wollen stattdessen mit Gladbach verhandeln. Sportdirektor Rouven Schröder dürfte sich bei einem Klassenerhalt der Bundesliga kaum von der festgeschriebenen Ablöse abbringen, da Reitz langfristig am Niederrhein unter Vertrag steht. Die Fans reagieren mit Unmut. Viele kritisieren den Zeitpunkt des Deals, da Borussia Mönchengladbach aktuell in der Abstiegskampf steckt. Reitz gilt als Identifikationsfigur des Vereins, und sein Wechsel zu Leipzig, das von vielen Fans kritisch gesehen wird, wirkt für viele zur Unzeit. Zudem sorgen frühere Aussagen von Reitz für zusätzigen Ärger. Der Spieler hatte einmal erklärt: „Meine Traumkarriere wären 15 Jahre Borussia. Es gäbe für mich nichts Besseres.“ Diese Worte wirken nun wie ein bitterer Widerspruch zur aktuellen Entwicklung. Im Saisonendspurt könnte Reitz aufgrund seiner Roten Karte gegen FC Bayern München das Heimspiel gegen FC St. Pauli verpassen.#borussia_mnchengladbach #rocco_reitz #rb_leipzig #xaver_schlager #kevin_kampl
