Shahid Kapoor's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic gets shelved
Yes, you read that right! The Shahid Kapoor starrer and Amit Rai directorial Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic has been shelved. The director has confirmed the news that one of his most ambitious projects will not be released, according to Mid-Day. Speaking to the same portal on the matter, Amit revealed, "The system is so cruel. Even if you have proved your mettle with a R180 crore film [OMG 2], it's not enough. How is a director supposed to work here, under these systems of casting, production, star, and management?'
He expressed his frustration by adding that an artist lives with a story for five years, and all it takes for someone is just 5 minutes to write a five-pager and pointing out 'what is wrong and what is right in the film."
He continued, 'An actor will only do what's working at the box office. Very few actors were honest with me. Sometimes, they weren't interested in being part of a film that's speaking the truth about society, and instead wanted to do a love story," he added.
Amit Rai to produce his next movie himself
Reportedly, now Amit has decided to produce his next project himself. Hungarian cinematographer Máté Herba and popular action and motion-capture specialist Isaac Hamon are supporting the director in his decision to take all the charge into his hands.

Easybreeze Holiday Resort location guide in Genshin Impact
Image via: HoYoverse With Genshin Impact Version 5.8, summer certainly got a lot more colorful with the release of Easybreeze Holiday Resort: a tropical new area sitting in the west corner of Natlan, in a region called Tenochtzitoc. The resort, with its scintillating beaches and interactive puzzles, traps down some whimsy and adventure for the ever-expanding game map. How to Unlock Before you can achieve your coconut juice aspirations on these breezy shores, be sure to complete Prologue: Act III, The Song of the Dragon and the Freedom Archon Quest. After this, the Teleport Waypoint right near the Statue of the Seven at the resort should set itself as available, making Easybreeze a rather easy-to-access expansion zone in recent patch updates. The Layout: Four Destinations in One Easybreeze Holiday Resort isn't meant to be one giant stretch of sand. Instead, the map is cleverly divided into four thematic areas, each with its own brand of activities, ambience, and collectibles: Wavey Bay : The sunbathed center of the resort, where Spiritways and trampolines give the impression of a playground. That feels right to folks who are into fun traversal mechanics. Colorfall Cliffs: Over at the eastern edge, this colorful escarpment acts as your breathtaking puzzle zone with a hot air balloon ride for orientation. Guiztli Ridge: This northern villa island brings a shadow of danger. It is home to Nochtli Ruffians and precision puzzles, the place for bounty hunters and sharpshooters. Tete Isle: To the northwest, this music-based paradise houses rhythm puzzles and performances. Locally produced streams of honey-sweet Aphimead flow freely. Each of these areas bursts with design elements tailored toward a playstyle: Puzzle-solving, exploration, combat, and lore-hunting.
