Mumbai fans of Coldplay have another chance to witness the iconic band live as additional tickets for their concerts have been announced. These shows, part of the “Music of the Spheres” World Tour, are scheduled for January 18, 19, and 21, 2025, at DY Patil Stadium. Tickets will go on sale exclusively through the BookMyShow app starting January 11 at 4 pm IST.

Given the overwhelming demand, Coldplay enthusiasts are urged to log in early and prepare for potential virtual queues. To ensure a fair ticketing process, BookMyShow has implemented a waiting room system, opening an hour before sales commence, at 3 pm. However, fans should note that entering the waiting room early does not guarantee a ticket or priority in the queue, as spots are assigned randomly once sales begin.

Buyers will have approximately four minutes to select and secure their seats after reaching the ticketing page, with a limit of four tickets per user. Fans are reminded to only purchase tickets through official platforms to avoid scams and counterfeit tickets. BookMyShow has emphasized the importance of using trusted channels for ticket bookings.

This marks Coldplay’s first performance in India since their unforgettable 2016 concert, heightening anticipation for the event. The band promises an enthralling experience with dazzling lights, fireworks, and their signature stagecraft. Audiences can expect to hear hits from their “Music of the Spheres” album, along with new tracks from their upcoming release, “Moon Music,” and beloved classics from their extensive repertoire.

For fans eagerly awaiting this musical extravaganza, the countdown to securing tickets begins now. Don’t miss the chance to see Coldplay light up Mumbai with their electrifying performances!

Veteran actor Tiku Talsania suffered a brain stroke on January 10, as confirmed by his family on Saturday. Following initial reports suggesting he had experienced a heart attack, his wife, Deepti Talsania, clarified the situation. The 70-year-old actor is currently being treated at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai.

“He suffered a brain stroke, not a heart attack. He attended a film screening and began feeling unwell around 8 PM, at which point he was promptly admitted to the hospital,” Deepti told to a TV reporter.

Talsania’s condition is reported to be critical. Over his illustrious career, he has appeared in more than 200 films, and his daughter, Shikha Talsania, is also an actress.

In October 2024, Talsania mentioned that he was feeling “slightly jobless” and was actively seeking work. In an interview, he expressed that he was waiting for the right roles to come his way, stating, “Times have changed, and the right kind of roles are not being offered. Unless you become integral to the story or are cast as a character whose narrative intertwines with the plot, work is hard to come by. I am slightly jobless at the moment, but I want to work, and the right opportunities are not materializing.”

Talsania shared that he is open to auditions and recognizes that the industry has changed. “Since COVID-19, the working dynamic has shifted. People are becoming more astute and progressive. I appreciate this new approach to work, and I’m remaining patient. I’m actively seeking opportunities,” he noted.

Some of Talsania’s notable films include Andaz Apna Apna, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, Devdas, Coolie No. 1, Dhamaal, Partner, Phir Hera Pheri, Hungama, Raju Chacha, Hero No. 1, among many others. He was last seen in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, alongside RajKummar Rao and Triptii Dimri.

In addition to his film work, Talsania has appeared in various television shows, gaining acclaim for his comic timing and versatility in portraying diverse characters.

Director Shankar’s much-anticipated film Game Changer has opened to a phenomenal response at the box office, raking in Rs 51.25 crore nett in India on its first day. Featuring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani in lead roles, the film has become one of the most talked-about releases in Indian cinema this year.

According to Sacnilk, the Telugu version of the film contributed significantly, earning Rs 42 crore nett, followed by Rs 7 crore from its Hindi version. The Tamil version added Rs 2.1 crore, while the Kannada and Malayalam versions contributed Rs 0.1 crore and Rs 0.05 crore, respectively.

Game Changer is a notable release for both its leads. It marks Ram Charan’s first solo film since Vinaya Vidheya Rama in 2019, which also happened to be Kiara Advani’s last Telugu project. Directed by Shankar, the movie reflects the filmmaker’s reputation for delivering larger-than-life cinematic experiences and festive blockbusters.

The movie boasts a stellar supporting cast, including SJ Suryah, Nassar, Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, and Murali Sharma, who have delivered commendable performances in their respective roles.

At a recent press event in Mumbai, Ram Charan expressed his excitement about collaborating with Shankar, describing it as a “dream come true.” The actor revealed how filmmaker SS Rajamouli had previously praised Shankar, calling him “the epitome of commercial cinema” and a pioneer who has “defined global cinema.”

With its impressive start, Game Changer is expected to maintain momentum in the coming days, setting the stage for a successful run at the box office. Fans and critics alike are lauding the movie for its grandeur, performances, and Shankar’s masterful direction.
