Jacqueline Fernandez gets interim bail

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez is in legal trouble in relation to the Rs 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The Enforcement Directorate in the charge sheet said that the actor cooked up a false story to flee investigations.

The ED in a charge sheet also claimed that the actor was well aware of Sukesh’s criminal antecedents and still accepted gifts. The charge sheet also says that Jacqueline also knew about Sukesh’s wife Leena Maria Paul in February 2021 and still she chose to overlook his criminal past and continued to indulge in financial transactions with him.

To conceal the evidence, ED also said that Jacqueline deleted all the data from her phone related to Sukesh and also asked her staff to delete everything related to the conman.

The charge sheet also claimed that Jacqueline enjoyed receiving costly gifts from conman despite being aware of his criminal history and that he is lodged in Tihar Jail. It also claimed that the actress’s family and friends also benefitted from her alleged relationship with Sukesh.

The charge sheet says Chandrashekhar gave Rs 7.12 crore to the actor, Rs 1.26 crore to her sister in the US, Rs 15 lakh to her brother in Australia and gifts worth Rs 5.71 crore.

On Sunday, the brand shared a charming video featuring the duo on Instagram, generating considerable excitement among fans.

In the advertisement, Ranveer humorously points out that their party guests are more fascinated with the air conditioning than with Deepika’s culinary skills or her storytelling. Following Deepika’s playful annoyance, Ranveer sweetly wins her over, culminating in an affectionate kiss. Viewers have responded warmly, with one delighted fan commenting, “This is the best ad featuring my favorite couple.”

Fans are thrilled to see the couple in action, with one admirer sharing, “This is the sweetest thing I’ve seen all day, although I forgot to bring my popcorn.” Another mentioned, “DeepVeer look so stunning together,” expressing admiration for Deepika’s appearance with comments like, “Ma’am, you’re looking absolutely beautiful.” Many viewers are reminiscing about their on-screen presence, with notes like, “We miss seeing you both on the big screen!”

Empuraan: Mohanlal’s film becomes highest-grossing Malayalam movie, beats Manjummel Boys

The film has successfully captured the attention of audiences both domestically and internationally.

Published

Mohanlal, the celebrated superstar of Malayalam cinema, has achieved a remarkable feat with his latest film, L2: Empuraan. Released on March 27, 2025, the film became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time globally on Saturday, April 5. It has surpassed the previous record held by 2024’s Manjummel Boys and is rapidly approaching the impressive Rs 300-crore milestone at the worldwide box office.

Mohanlal took to his official X account to celebrate this significant achievement, sharing his gratitude with fans and followers.

Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, L2: Empuraan is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer. It continues the riveting story of Stephen Nedumpally, also known as Khureshi-Ab’raam, taking audiences on another thrilling journey filled with action and intrigue. The film has successfully captured the attention of audiences both domestically and internationally.

However, the film’s release has not come without its share of controversies. It has faced significant backlash primarily due to its references to the 2002 Gujarat pogrom. This controversy has led to criticism from some right-wing groups, prompting the filmmakers to make 24 ‘voluntary cuts’ to the film, which total 2.08 minutes in length.

The re-edited version of Empuraan, which was certified by the regional officer of the Central Board of Film Certification, was expected to be showcased in theaters by April 2, allowing the film to find a more extensive audience.

The screenplay for L2: Empuraan was penned by the talented Murali Gopy, who has previously collaborated with Mohanlal on successful projects. The film features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, Abhimanyu Singh, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Arjun Das, Fazil, and Shine Tom Chacko.

Produced by Antony Perumbavoor, Gokulam Gopalan, and Subaskaran, L2: Empuraan is brought to life under the reputable banners of Aashirvad Cinemas, Sree Gokulam Movies, and Lyca Productions. This achievement marks a significant moment in Malayalam cinema, reaffirming Mohanlal’s status as a leading figure in the industry.

Good Bad Ugly trailer: Ajith Kumar’s power-packed visuals, fiery dialogues set the stage for April 10 release

Ajith Kumar takes center stage in the high-octane trailer of Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran. The film is set for a global release on April 10, 2025.

Ajith Kumar's Good, Bad, Ugly

The trailer of Ajith Kumar’s much-awaited action entertainer Good Bad Ugly has finally been unveiled and it’s nothing short of a mass-loaded spectacle. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the film is set for a grand worldwide release on April 10, 2025 and the trailer has only amplified the hype around this high-octane action drama.

Originally planned for a Pongal 2025 release, the film has been in the works since June last year and boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast featuring Ajith Kumar, Trisha, Arjun Das, Prabhu, Prasanna, and Sunil.

The trailer opens with Arjun Das in a suave villainous role, dancing alongside foreign performers to the folk tune Otha Rooba Tharen. His character directly challenges Ajith’s, branding himself as the real villain in the story. Soon after, Trisha’s character accuses Ajith’s of a past crime, sparking emotional turmoil that quickly turns into a mission for revenge and redemption.

Ajith’s character, in a fiery monologue, reveals his transformation — having given up smoking, drinking, and violence for his family — only to reclaim his old ways when his son’s safety is at risk. With electrifying action scenes, gripping face-offs, and a commanding presence, Ajith delivers one of the trailer’s strongest lines, warning an opponent that while they may retain their body parts, they won’t keep their life.

The trailer ends with the striking declaration: “Bad boy.”

The trailer’s scheduled release was briefly delayed due to what the production team called “MASS SAMBAVAM” — a response so overwhelming it caused server slowdowns. Eventually, the trailer dropped 20 minutes later, much to fans’ delight.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film features music by National Award-winning composer G.V. Prakash Kumar, cinematography by Abinandhan Ramanujam, editing by Vijay Velukutty, and intense stunt sequences choreographed by Supreme Sundar and Kaloian Vodenicharov.

With its high-voltage visuals, punch-packed dialogues, and Ajith in full form, Good Bad Ugly promises to be a box-office storm when it hits theatres on April 10.
