    From being the boy next door in Stree to playing Subash Chandra Bose, Rajkummar Rao has never failed to impress his audience with his versatility. The man has always taken up challenging roles and he never leaves any stone unturned when it comes to portraying his characters realistically on the big screen.
    After Roohi’s release, Rajkummar is already gearing up for his next, Badhaai Do. In the movie, Rajkummar plays a cop named Shardul Thakur and is trying to transform into a badass one. He took to Instagram to share his new picture wherein he is seen showing off his chiseled body and six-pack abs.
    He captioned the image, “#ShardulThakur in #BadhaaiDo. Being a pure vegetarian and to strictly avoid any kind of steroids, it wasn’t easy to get this transformation but nothing seems impossible when you love what you do. #BadhaaiDo is a film which is really close to my heart and we had a blast shooting this film.”

    He has busted a myth related to fitness wherein people thought gaining muscles would require shifting to non-vegetarian food and steroids. Rajkummar has done it with only intense workouts and a proper routine.
    People are appreciating Rajkummar for his intense transformation and are wondering how it all happened.

    The film, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar as a PT teacher, is a standalone sequel to the 2018 hit Badhaai Ho. The original film was about a middle-aged woman with grown-up children who gets pregnant, and how her family and society react to the news. It starred Ayushmann Khurrana, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao, and Sanya Malhotra.
    Director Harshavardhan Kulkarni had earlier told Mumbai Mirror that Badhaai Do will be ‘tapping a big social issue’. “All I can say is that Badhaai Do is as much a family entertainer as Badhaai Ho, only the world we’re creating is becoming more diverse. It moves from a small town to a bigger one and then, on to something else. There’s a lot of colour and drama,” he had said.
    Excited about this one? Let us know in the comments section below.

    Prithvi Shaw’s Australia struggle has to be one of the most polarising incidents in the history of modern-day cricket. While some fans felt sorry for the 21-year-old after he got dropped from the Indian squad after just one match, others felt that it was necessary as one of the most important series was on the line and the team had better replacements.
    From the team’s point of view, it can be argued that skipper Ajinkya Rahane’s call to substitute Shaw with Shubman Gill was the right call since India remained undefeated for the rest of the series and ended up winning 2-1 with a significant role played by the series debutant in Gill.

    However, if you put yourself in the shoes of the man at the cost of which Gill got his shot, it has to sting.

    In a conversation with The Indian Express, Shaw relived the moment he was dropped from the squad and ‘the talk’ he had with himself to get ready for what was to come. 
    “I was in complete tension when I was dropped after the first Test. I got a feeling like I was worthless though I was happy that the team was doing well. I said to myself ‘I need to pull up my socks’. There is a saying, ‘hard work beats talent’. I told myself all this talent is fine but it’s of no use if I don’t work hard. It was the saddest day of my life (when he was dropped). I went to my room and broke down. I felt like something wrong was happening. I needed answers quickly.”

    Ever since coming back to India and not being a part of the team for the touring England side, the only thing that Shaw had to look forward to was playing for Mumbai during the 2020-21 Vijay Hazare Trophy and he knew what he had to do - get “big-daddy runs”.

    “Once you are dropped from the team there is pressure to perform and make a comeback. I am keen to get runs. I wanted to get big-daddy runs,” Shaw said in the interview.

    Since the beginning of the domestic cricket tournament, the batsman has been on an absolute tear. His undefeated 227 is the highest individual score in the history of the league and with the semi-final winning 165 he struck against Ravikumar Samarth’s Karnataka side, he broke Mayank Agarwal’s 723-run record to score the most number of runs in a single season.

    And while there are still a vast number of fans who believe Shaw’s dominance is only limited to domestic cricket and that his weaknesses are exposed at the highest level of the game, there are a few who believe that there is a lot in the young athlete to give to this sport and with age still on his side, he can make a heroic return to the team once again.
    There's no reason why he cant come back ,he's still quite young
    — Vinay (@VinayDatta9) March 12, 2021Management harsh on him to bench him just after one match. Now, Gill also failed in Indian condition more than one match but he will not be benched for next. And which is right. Should have given more chance.
    — Jay K (@tingaltawal) March 12, 2021Bruh...i don't want gill to be dropped but prithvi shaw was man of series in india vs windies and scored a century on debut... u can't say that he has no match winning contributions... u r right but u need not criticize other player bringing out fake stuff

    Just yesterday, people wanted to boycott Farhan Akhtar’s Toofaan but after the makers released the teaser of the movie today, the whole perception has changed. The actor has undergone a massive physical transformation to play the role of the boxer in the film which is being helmed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. 
    The teaser shows how Farhan transforms from a goon to a boxing star. In the beginning, we get to see Ajju Bhai played by Farhan as a thug from Dongri who makes the lives of other people miserable by beating them mercilessly. Things change when he pledges to follow boxing and with the support of his ladylove played by Mrunal Thakur and his trainer (Paresh Rawal), he manages to make a mark.
    Here’s the teaser:

    After watching the teaser, people are all praises for the actor and the content that the filmmaker has managed to put forth. People are happy how Farhan always puts in his labour to get the desired results. People also feel that the movie deserves a theatrical release because it looks like an impressive and powerful spectacle.

    The movie will be releasing on May 21, 2021, on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories. Toofaan is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and Farhan Akhtar.
    In a statement, Mehra had said, “After working with Farhan in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, I was certain he would be the perfect protagonist for Toofaan. The best thing about him is that he does not act the part, but lives it completely.”
    "Toofaan is a story that will motivate and inspire all of us to get out of our comfort zones and fight towards achieving our dreams. We cannot wait to present our film to viewers across the globe," the filmmaker added.
    Earlier, speaking about the film, Farhan had said, "Putting this level of effort is only possible if the story motivates you to give your best. At the end of the day, we’re not making a film to showcase a great physique but to emotionally engage the audience with the journey of the character. To make that experience believable, all efforts are worth it."

    If you’ve been sharing passwords with your friends for access to Netflix, you might be in for some bad news. Netflix is now looking at a way to curb password sharing amongst users for both business and security reasons. The streaming giant was spotted testing a new feature by GammaWire which prevents users who are not authorised to use the account from accessing it.

    Netflix said in a statement to The Verge, “This test is designed to help ensure that people using Netflix accounts are authorised to do so.” The feature that is being tested can now detect users who are trying to use the account without being the actual owner of it. The person trying to access the account will be asked to verify later or verify being the owner of the account via an email code or text code.

    The person will have to verify the account ownership within a timeframe and if they're unable to do so, it will result in the user not being able to stream any content on Netflix. Instead, the user will then be asked to make their own account to start streaming content on the platform. In part, this is to curb password sharing amongst friends however this will also reduce the possibility of accounts getting hacked. The new security measures will strengthen account protection and prevent any malicious attempts to use the account via fraudulent methods. 

    There is still a big question about household account sharing as Netflix’s terms of service says users can stream content “for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household.” It doesn’t specify whether the household needs to be at the same physical address or constitutes family members too. There is also no clarification about users who travel often or have family members living at a different address. These circumstances are some of the main reasons why passwords are shared in the first place so that Netflix can be accessed by multiple family members at different locations.

    Do you like Netflix testing this new feature where it could curb password sharing amongst friends and family? Let us know in the comments about how this could affect you in the long run and why password sharing is important amongst family members.

    Adipurush cast has recently roped in Kriti Sanon to play Sita opposite Prabhas. Sunny Singh has also come on board to play the role of Laxman in the film. The new cast was announced on Friday morning and the actors took to social media to express the same. 

    Kriti Sanon took to social media and wrote, “A new journey begins.. #ADIPURUSH This one is too special.. Proud, honoured, and beyond excited to be a part of this magical world (sic).”
    Check out the post here-
    A new journey begins.. ️
    One of my most special ones.. overwhelmed to be a part of #Adipurush #Prabhas #SaifAliKhan @mesunnysingh @omraut #BhushanKumar @vfxwaala @rajeshnair06 @TSeries @retrophiles1 #TSeries pic.twitter.com/198BqAuoXT
    — Kriti Sanon (@kritisanon) March 12, 2021 We will also see Saif Ali Khan in the film playing the role of Raavan. The movie will release on August 11, 2022. The movie has begun its production in February and it is Om’s directorial after his last successful blockbuster Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. Here’s what people have to say about Kriti Sanon playing the role of Sita in the film-
    EXCITEDDD!! Love youuu Kritsu!!

    — HARIKA🤍 (@harika_tarak) March 12, 2021 Earlier, Saif Ali Khan enraged a lot of people when he talked about Adipurush. He had said in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, “It’s interesting to play a demon king, fewer strictures in that. But we will make him humane, up the entertainment quotient, justify his abduction of Sita and the war with Ram as revenge for what was done to his sister Surpanakha by Lakshman, who cut off her nose."
    This statement irked a lot of people and later he went on to apologize for the same. However, now a case has been filed against him by an advocate in Jaunpur, UP for his statements.

    Dog owners will know how heartbreaking it is to lose their pets and it is even more chaotic when it is dog-napping.

    The woman who had found Lady Gaga’s kidnapped two dogs has not been paid the reward price yet as the cops are still not sure if she was involved in the crime or not. The LA Police Department has advised Lady Gaga to not give the $500,000 cash reward she offered until the cops have not determined that the woman found the dogs wasn’t involved in the crime.

    As per TMZ, the incident of dog theft and the shooting of Lady Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer could also be a part of a gang initiation.

    On the night of February 24, Lady Gaga’s two French Bulldogs went missing. Thieves got out of the car and shot the dog walker Ryan and stole Gaga’s two dogs out of three, Koji and Gustav.
    The third dog, Miss Asia, was able to escape and was caught in the surveillance camera and was seen running over to Ryan’s side as he was lying on the floor crying for help. The footage shows that the two dogs were at a distance from Ryan but instead of stealing the dogs, they chose to shoot Ryan which also made the police that this crime was gang-related.

    The incident took place on West Hollywood’s Sierra Bonita Avenue around 10 pm on February 24.
    Under 48 hours, a woman also returned the dogs to LAPD’s Olympic Community Police Station. It was confirmed that both the doggos belong to Lady Gaga’s by her representatives as the singer is currently in Rome for a film shooting.

    The Indian Premier League is considered to be the biggest cash cow for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as it churns out more than 50% of the organisation’s annual revenue based on a report by IANS.
    However, the 2020 edition of the T20 league turned out to be the one with numerous financial and logistical crises which ended up impacting the money it generated over the course of a month and a half.

    One of the biggest problems was the dismissal of Chinese tech giant Vivo as the title sponsor following the rising tensions between Indian and Chinese soldiers at the Galwan Valley back in June 2020.

    Another issue was that the entire tournament took place in the United Arab Emirates and that too behind closed doors, cutting various sources of income ranging from ticket sales to merchandise and food purchase at the venue.
    Holding the Indian Premier League (@IPL) 2020 in the UAE is a testament of great trust & confidence in UAE’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Welcoming this major cricket tournament further highlights UAE’s competency of hosting international sports events. pic.twitter.com/wp9JGvZ53J
    — Mansoor bin Mohammed (@sheikhmansoor) September 30, 2020“The Indian Premier League’s valuation dropped for the first time in six years” according to a report by Bloomberg. The report further added that in terms of numbers, the franchisee saw a $6.2 billion dip.
    But which team experienced the biggest loss?
    Here are the 5 IPL Teams That Lost The Most Amount Of Money In 2020, Despite Having Big Superstars Onboard:
    5. SunRisers Hyderabad (-8.5%): © Twitter/SRH
    Despite facing a lot of criticism in terms of not being able to score at a high rate, the 2016 IPL champions switched gears in the latter half of the season and ended up making it to the third spot in the points table. Unfortunately, their comeback effort couldn’t help them witness a drop of Rs. 41 crore in brand value after their campaign ended.

    4. Royal Challengers Bangalore (-9.9%): © Twitter/RCB
    Even though one of the most popular cricketers in the world, Virat Kohli captains the RCB side, his fame wasn’t enough to protect the franchise from seeing a devaluation worth Rs. 59 crore despite sneaking their way into the playoffs.

    3. Kings XI Punjab/Punjab Kings (-11.3%): © Twitter/KXIP
    Punjab Kings experienced a massive decline in brand value between 2019 and 2020 worth Rs. 40 crore despite a great start to the season and a powerful duo of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal leading their batting lineup. 

    2. Kolkata Knight Riders (-13.7%): © Twitter/KKR
    The two-time IPL champions failed to make it to the playoffs despite playing some incredible cricket late in the league-round. However, they lost a lot more than their shot at winning the title when they experienced a drop from Rs. 629 crore in 2019 to Rs. 543 crore in 2020 in terms of brand value.

    1. Chennai Super Kings (-16.5%): © Twitter/CSK
    The biggest slump however came for the second-most successful team in the history of the league, both in terms of on-field performance and valuation. Even with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is considered to be a brand in himself, leading the CSK from ahead, became ineffective in terms of protecting the value of his team. At the end of the 2019 season, the runners-up were valued at a whopping Rs. 732 crore. By 2020, the number dropped to Rs. 611 crore - a tough Rs. 121 crore plummet.

    If you have seen the show, you might have an idea that Alankrita Shrivastava’s Bombay Begums explores the story of five ambitious women who come from different schools of thought and are trying to strike a balance between their dreams and duties.
    We also got to see Pooja Bhatt making a comeback on screen after a long gap. The show also stars Shahana Goswami, Amruta Subhash, Plabita Borthakur, Aadhya Anand, and Rahul Bose in pivotal roles.
    Here’s the trailer:

    The show is streaming online but has already landed in troubled waters. Yesterday itself, we reported how people have raised objections over the content of the show, especially one of the scenes that had a teenager consuming drugs. 
    From normalisation of minors indulging in casual *** we now have web series showing minors having Cocaine.

    Screengrab from #BombayBegums where a 13yr old is snorting coke as the party she goes to is all about alcohol, drugs.

    Sink it in. pic.twitter.com/RXOyq1GaJS
    — Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj (@DeepikaBhardwaj) March 10, 2021Now, the apex child rights body NCPCR has asked the OTT platform to stop streaming Bombay Begums citing inappropriate portrayal of children in the web series. Needless to say, we strongly believe that acts like these hardly serve the purpose.
    Stopping the show from streaming will only curtail creativity and restrict expression in cinema while people, and in this case, children, find newer ways to consume actually problematic content.
    "You are directed to look into this matter and immediately stop streaming of this series and furnish a detailed action report within 24 hours, failing which the Commission will be constrained to initiate appropriate action pursuant to the provisions of Section 14 of the CPCR (Commission for Protection of Child Rights) Act, 2005," the commission said.
    Do you think that the commission has taken the right decision? Let us know in the comments section below.

    John Abraham knows how to keep things simple, and that's not just limited to casual outings but also for movie promotions. 
    On one hand, we have celebrities like Ranveer Singh who wear OTT outfits every now and then, and on the other hand, we have someone like John who doesn't flinch over wearing a basic T-shirt and jeans to most events.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Another thing that strikes us about his fashion game is how he manages to turn heads, even when he is wearing a basic pair of flip flops. 

    With so many hypebeasts in Bollywood, it's impossible to notice anything else. But, John's streak of wearing chappals in public has never gone unnoticed.
    © Viral Bhayani
    This time too, for the promotions of his upcoming movie, Mumbai Saga, he was yet again seen in a super casual outfit. While we were hoping to see him in a new avatar this time, he yet again knocked it out of the park, wearing his flip flops.
    Take a look:
    What He Wore:
    © Viral Bhayani
    Continuing his trend of keeping us hooked to his sartorial game, John wore a basic black T-shirt with blue denims, which is considered to be a classic combination. 

    Being the sartorial champ that he is, he also combined a brown belt here. We also like his super casual backpack in black and grey colour, as it's sitting well with his super relaxed ensemble.
    The Brands:
    © Billabong
    John could have easily worn a pair of chunky sneakers but given that he is more of a comfort guy, the choice of opting for a pair of flip flops here isn't so bad.
    © Billabong
    He is wearing Billabong's Venture Sandals For Men. The pair comes with faux nubuck upper strap along with padded embossed lining and debossed Billabong TPU logo. 

    There's also a comfortable footbed with moulded midsole.
    The Price:
    © Viral Bhayani
    These days, as we have seen many celebrities wearing flip flops, it's easy to assume that these chappals would burn a big moon-sized hole in our pockets. Turns out, it's not true. 

    Originally, the cost of the pair was Rs 3,913 but one can get this pair for Rs 1,565 at the moment. Not such a bad deal, right?
    Why It Works:
    © Viral Bhayani
    Flip flops or chappals may hold an odd place in the menswear arena but they are actually a classic and distinct type of footwear. 

    What we have learnt from this latest look of John's is that no matter how basic you look, adding just one striking element can spell magic. 
    Here, the main highlight, without a doubt, are his flip flops and we have to applaud him for taking this fashion risk, yet again.
