About AR Rahman's tour and upcoming work
At a recent stop on his Wonderment Tour in Washington, AR Rahman had the audience in splits with a perfectly timed one-liner that many believe was a sly dig at Coldplay 's recent kiss cam fiasco. As the camera panned to fans waving and smiling in the crowd at the Tacoma Dome, Rahman paused mid-performance and said with a chuckle, 'I won't get you into trouble. Don't worry.' The remark drew instant applause and laughter, with many in the audience catching on to what seemed like a light-hearted jab at the now-viral Coldplay incident.The timing couldn't have been more spot-on. Just days earlier, Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts made headlines for all the wrong reasons. When the kiss cam zoomed in on a couple—later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot—their affectionate moment was broadcast on the big screen. What looked like a sweet moment turned controversial, sparking rumours of an extramarital affair and ending with Byron's resignation from the company. Even Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin chimed in at the concert, joking, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'Meanwhile, Rahman's tour continues to garner massive attention, with stops across the US, Canada, and the UK before wrapping up in India. On the work front, the Oscar-winning composer is juggling multiple high-profile projects, including Tere Ishk Mein, Ram Charan's Peddi, Genie, and Nitesh Tiwari's much-anticipated Ramayana, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi.

Josh Brolin on why he is uncertain about sequel to The Goonies
Washington DC [US], August 3 (ANI): Hollywood actor Josh Brolin shared why he is uncertain about a sequel to the 1985 adventure comedy film, 'The Goonies'. Brolin explained his hesitation toward a potential follow-up and what it would take to get him onboard during the premiere of Zach Cregger's much-anticipated horror film 'Weapons', reported Deadline. "I hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great," he said, adding, "The movie is received so well, generation after generation. It's just everything good about it. The trepidation I have is that you might release something else that taints it. I don't want to taint what my memory of it is." The Oscar nominee shared about what the sequel's storyline would entail, given the fact that its release would come over four decades after the 1985 debut of the classic adventure comedy about a group of misfit kids hunting treasure in a bid to save their house from foreclosure, according to Deadline. "It's like, 'Oh, we came out with another,' and then the Goonies grew up, and then they came out with their walkers, and then they fell off a cliff because they couldn't see very well, like, what are you going to do? I don't know. Maybe it could be great. If it's great, you'll know, like if story writer Steven Spielberg approves it, you know it's going to be good. But I think there have been five scripts so far through the years, and he hasn't approved anything yet -- so me being picky, Spielberg is picky, and he has a reason to be because he has great taste," said the actor. 'The Goonies' is a 1985 adventure comedy film directed and co-produced by Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus based on a story by Steven Spielberg and starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green , Martha Plimpton, and Ke Huy Quan with John Matuszak, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano, and Anne Ramsey in supporting roles. 'The Goonies 2 'is in the works at Warner Bros., and Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario will produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside original scribe Chris Columbus, with Lauren Shuler Donner executive producing. Potsy Ponciroli is writing the screenplay for the sequel. Plot details are currently under wraps, according to Deadline. (ANI)
