    On the occasion of the former cricketer’s birthday on Tuesday, the makers unveiled a character poster of him from the film. Helmed by  Ajay Gnanamuthu, Irfan makes his debut as the antagonist in Cobra. 

    Sharing the first glimpse of Irfan’s character, Ajay had tweeted, 
    “Wish you many more happy returns of the day dear @IrfanPathan sir. Super happy to have met and worked with such a warm and a caring person like you. Wishing you only the best in the year ahead (sic).” Wish you many more happy returns of the day dear ⁦⁦@IrfanPathan⁩ sir ️ ️ Super happy to have met and worked with such a warm and a caring person like you..

    Irfan has a significant role to play in this film. He plays a character called Aslan Yilmaz - a French Interpol officer. 

    Produced by 7 Screen Studio in association with Viacom 18 Studios, the project went on the floors in August 2019 and the makers are hopeful to release it next year. 
    “This film will be a pan-Indian project catering to the Tamil, Hindi and Telugu audience. It will be produced on a massive scale in association with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures. The cast and technicians will have big names of all industries collaborating for this film,” read a statement from the makers. 
    Earlier in July this year, Irfan took to his Twitter handle and wrote, 
    “What an Interpol officer doing in Kolkata?" He also shared throwback pictures from the film’s set. What an Interpol officer doing in Kolkata?? #shoot #movie #cobra #throwback @AjayGnanamuthu pic.twitter.com/0pucSw5VLH

    Besides, the project also marks the maiden collaboration of Vikram and Ajay Gnanamuthu, who is best known for helming hit thriller films like Demonte Colony and last year’s Imaikka Nodigal starring Nayanthara. 

    Ajay, in one of his interviews, had said that Vikram’s role will be a challenging one. As per multiple reports, Vikram will be seen donning multiple avatars in the movie. 
    “Of course, he has always taken up challenging roles, but I think this one will be better than all of those,” he said.

    Vikram had wrapped up shooting for Cobra in January 2020. In February, he joined the sets of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan. 

    Other than Vikram and Irfan, the ensemble cast of the film includes director KS Ravikumar, KGF actor Srinidhi Shetty, Mrinalini Ravi, Kanika, Padmapriya and Babu Antony among others in pivotal roles.

    Back in April when Indians had just begun taking the COVID-19 pandemic seriously after learning the hard way, the government's contact tracing app Aarogya Setu took a prime position under the spotlight. In fact, it is safe to say that we were forced to download the app at one point.
    Now, six months after Aarogya Setu's release, millions of downloads, and its fair share of controversies later, the IT Ministry says they don't have information on Aarogya Setu's creation.

    According to a new report by LiveLaw, the Central Information Commission has issued show-cause notices to Central Public Information Officers at the National Informatics Centre, the National E-governance Division, and the Ministry of Electronics & Informational Technology for their 'evasive' replies to an RTI application seeking info on the creation of the app.

    A complaint, which was filed by Saurav Das, says the NIC, the NeGD and MeitY have not provided any information on the process of creating the Aarogya Setu app. Also missing are the files relating to its creation, who gave inputs on the app's creation and audit measures to check for misuse of personal data, among other things.
    Check Source Link For Full Complaint
    Das is said to have received a response from the NIC stating that it did not hold information on the app’s creation. This is particularly alarming because the NIC is credited as the developer of the app. NeGD is also said to have dodged RTI saying the information sought was not related to its division.

    MeitY's Central Public Information Officer, on the other hand, said they couldn't give a plausible explanation for where the information on the creation of the app. The LiveLaw report also noted that the ministry said it could not explain how the app was created and that it had no clue about its origin.
    The CIC has deemed these responses “extremely preposterous” and has asked the authorities to explain why they shouldn't be imposed with legal charges for obstruction of information. Relevant parties will appear in court on November 24 to respond to the notice.

    If you are one of the millions of people who had downloaded the app, then you have a lot of reasons to worry about it. The entities that are failing to answer now are the same ones that promised to keep millions of user's data safe. This seems like a disaster waiting to happen, and we hope to get more clarity on this matter soon.

    On Wednesday, the streaming giant Netflix announced its next Tamil anthology, Navarasa. 

    The much-awaited nine-film anthology, helmed by Mani Ratnam and Jayendra Panchapakesan, is based on the nine rasas (emotions) - anger, compassion, courage, disgust, fear, laughter, love, peace and wonder.

    This project is in a bid to provide financial assistance to members of the Tamil film industry, whose livelihoods have been severely impacted by COVID-19 pandemic. Besides, the proceeds from the movie will go to those who have suffered due to unemployment during the lockdown. 

    Interestingly, Navarasa will see the coming together of some of the most prominent directors in the industry, who will direct nine short films based on nine rasas.

    Bejoy Nambiar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Karthik Subbaraj, Karthick Naren, K.V. Anand, Ponram, Rathindran Prasad and Halitha Shameem will lend their incredible talent to bring their distinctive perspective on each rasa.

    Also, actor Arvind Swami will make his directorial debut with a short film in the anthology. 

    Arvind disappeared from the film industry for around 10-12 years before he made a comeback with Mani Ratnam’s 2013 film Kadal. 
    In addition to the incredible line-up of directors, about 40 top actors of the industry and hundreds of technicians will work on the project.
    Netflix confirmed that the cast and crew of the anthology will be providing their services pro-bono.

    “We have always loved to brainstorm and come up with unique ideas to raise money for deserving causes. This time the brainstorming was for the cause of our own industry, to soothe and try and alleviate to some extent the agony of our people who had no work for months. The idea of making short films and raising money through them for this cause was born on one such brainstorming evening. 

    We were thrilled when the idea resonated well instantly with leading directors, actors and technicians of the industry that we approached. The idea of Navarasa was a spark when we discussed it and the industry has come together to make it glow, give it soul and make it count for its people,” said Mani Ratnam and Jayendra Panchapakesan in a statement.

    Meanwhile Srishti Arya, Director, International Original Film, Netflix India said, “We’re thrilled to be the home to these nine extraordinary films. We admire how this wonderful ensemble of filmmakers and talent have joined hands to support the creative community. Navarasa is a celebration of the craft of filmmaking and the magic of Tamil cinema that we can’t wait to take to the world.” 

    Well, one thing is for sure, this entire project is going to be nothing but epic.

    The idea of playing a Naagin on the screen is not new as we have already seen Rekha and late Sridevi play such roles. Ekta Kapoor has already been ruling the screen with her show Naagin and now, we also have the 21st-century Naagin in Bollywood. Shraddha Kapoor is all set to portray an ichhadhaari naagin in her upcoming film. It will be a trilogy helmed by Vishal Furia and bankrolled by Nikhil Dwivedi. According to reports, it will be a love story.
    Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the news and said, "IT'S OFFICIAL... #ShraddhaKapoor to portray ichhadhaari Nagin... The film - titled #Nagin - is designed as a trilogy, 3-film series... Directed by Vishal Furia... Produced by Nikhil Dwivedi."

    Shraddha also tweeted, “It’s an absolute delight for me to play a Naagin on screen. I have grown up watching, admiring, and idolizing Sridevi ma'am's Nagina and Nigahen and have always wanted to play a similar role rooted in Indian traditional folklore.”

    Soon after this was announced, people had a very mixed response to it. While some thought it’s completely regressive to have naagins in 2020, some are excited to see Shraddha nail the role.

    — Amogh Naman (@AmNG1994) October 28, 2020When film industries of all countries are moving forward with time (including that of Iran), these people are moving backwards. This is beyond redemption. And its the illiteracy of Indians which is responsible for making these Naagin serials nd films blockbusters.
    — G S (@Ensamer_Krieger) October 28, 2020It's 2020 and we are still getting Naagin movies & TV shows

    — Ravi ❣ (@Ravi_2_) October 28, 2020To be honest, we too have a very mixed opinion on this one. In 2020, the whole idea of naagin seems very dated, and Ekta Kapoor’s show has already given us nightmares. With a good concept and storyline, however, it might just work and we feel it’s too early to judge. Are you ready to see Shraddha Kapoor as the 21st-century Naagin?

    Even though Sushant Singh Rajput left this material world physically, his fans and well-wishers continue to reminisce about the late actor in many different ways. 

    Case in point, one of his old tweets which is making rounds on Twitter right now and fans are awestruck with the actor’s unbeatable intelligence. 
    In fact, the immense popularity of Sushant among his fans shows in the manner with which the movement for his ‘justice’ after his sudden and tragic death has been underway.

    Well, do you know what’s the difference between the two? If not, read on to find out what the late actor had to say about the matter. The Chhichhore actor replied that it was “subjective”. 

    Sushant believed liking was somewhat ‘living with frequent analysis’, while love would be to ‘surrender and submit to the wonderful feeling of unity and resonance.’ Such a well-thought-out answer, don’t you think? 
    Check out the tweet here: 
    What a beautiful way 2 explain!

    Only Sush can explain dis way.

    How can we move on with dis irreparable loss?

    We feel unified & resonated with da essence of U.

    PS. We love you ️ 🦋#PMSpeakUpOnSSRCase @smitaparikh2 @ishkarnBHANDARI @iChiragPaswan @SushilModi @Swamy39 pic.twitter.com/iabV8X9Ler

    People on the micro-blogging site became completely emotional over his answer, and shared how Sushant was a “genius” and always had a “perfect” and “deep thoughtful answer” to everything. 

    Check out some of the reactions here: 
    Such a clear explanation and understanding. Always my hero SSR.

    — Insanity (@umita59) October 25, 2020What a deep thoughtful answer!! Wish I would have connected with Sushant in some meaningful conversations. Miss you dear #SushantSinghRajput
    — Sunita (@sunita51687910) October 26, 2020WoW! Such a beautiful explanation! I fall in love with this person, even more, each day! #loveussr
    — Madhulika Rawal (@MadhulikaRawal) October 26, 2020Not just this, the late actor always had interesting on-point answers to many of the less or more complicated questions asked to him by his fans. 
    Sushant’s fan once was curious about the butterfly emoji that he would use frequently and asked if it was only because of his love for butterflies or meant something else.
