Kamal Haasan's latest film 'Thug Life', directed by Mani Ratnam, has made its way to Netflix. The film was released in India on June 5, 2025, but notably did not screen in Karnataka due to a controversy surrounding comments made by its lead star, Kamal Haasan, during a promotional event.The controversy erupted when Haasan remarked, "Your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil", which led to significant backlash. Despite the outcry, he stood by his statement and chose not to release the film in Karnataka.

Kapil Sharma calls Archana Puran Singh ‘Anaconda', accuses her of locking Navjot Singh Sidhu; her reply wins hearts

The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 premiered two weeks ago, marking the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu, who now shares screen space with Archana Archana Puran Singh on the Netflix comedy show. Last week, Sidhu's absence from the episode sparked speculation that he had only made a one-time guest appearance. However, he returned in the third episode, putting the rumours to rest. When Kapil Sharma playfully asked him about his absence, Sidhu joked that someone had locked him inside his vanity van. Responding to Sidhu, Kapil joked, 'Sometimes there is a snake in our midst, aapki toh aasteen bhi itni badi hai ki poora anconda bhi ho sakta hai.' He then turned to Archana Puran Singh and teasingly called her the 'anaconda,' asking Sidhu, 'Should I tell you who locked you in?' While Archana tried to steer away from the conversation, Kapil kept the banter going. Eventually, defending herself, Archana called Sidhu, Sid, and said, 'Sid, you think I'd do something like that to you? Never, you're my sweetheart.'

Jumping in, Kapil added with a laugh, 'Don't say that, she might actually take it!' Later, when Kapil welcomed Gautam Gambhir to the stage, the cricketer joined the fun, joking that Navjot Singh Sidhu seemed to be trying hard to impress Archana Puran Singh. Kapil Sharma then says, 'Nowadays, Sidhu paaji asks me if Archana has arrived, then he asks for gel to style his beard. Later, he says, I have spent my whole life with Aakash Chopra and Shekhar Suman, mazaa toh ayaa hai.'

Who Is Sara Arjun? Ranveer Singh's 20-Year-Old Dhurandhar Co-Star Was Once India's Highest-Paid Child Actor

Ranveer Singh showcases intense energy in the first look of his upcoming film directed by Aditya Dhar. Alongside the teaser, the release date for Dhurandhar was revealed. Known for exploring a variety of roles, Ranveer's new project promises to be unlike anything he has done before. The first look has also caught attention for featuring the film's only actress shown so far—Sara Arjun. Sara Arjun, daughter of actor Raj Arjun, is a gifted star kid who made a mark early on. As per Gulte, she became the highest-paid child actress in India, reportedly earning up to Rs 10 crore by 2023 — all by the age of 18. Here's everything you need to know about Ranveer Singh's young co-star in Dhurandhar. She Started Acting Before She Turned Two Sara Arjun was born on June 18, 2005, in Mumbai and entered showbiz before she could even form full sentences. She began her career in advertisements as a toddler, appearing in over 100 TV commercials by the time she was five. From big brands like McDonald's and Maggi to detergent and chocolate ads, Sara was a familiar face in Indian households long before she became a movie star. Her First Movie Turned Heads Across the Country Sara became a household name with her debut film Deiva Thirumagal (2011), a Tamil drama where she starred alongside actor Vikram. At just six years old, her portrayal of Nila — the daughter of a man with special needs — moved audiences and critics alike. She Works in Multiple Languages After winning hearts in Tamil cinema, Sara quickly branched out into Hindi, Malayalam, and Telugu films. She was seen in Ek Thi Daayan, 404, Jazbaa, and The Song of Scorpions in Hindi, and also played pivotal roles in Tamil hits like Saivam, Sillu Karupatti, and Mani Ratnam's epic duology Ponniyin Selvan: I & II, where she played a younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character. She's known for picking emotionally challenging roles across different languages.
