Puneet Issar loved Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal', says south films like 'Pushpa' are working because they are 'alpha-male', slams Bollywood for making too many lesbian, gay movies
Puneet Issar slammed Bollywood for just making too many movies about lesbians and gay. He added. When he was told about the kind of cricitism people had for 'Animal', Puneet reacted, "What difference does it make what they say? Should we really be watching the kind of films they make? There was an Ayushmann Khurrana film, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, which released at 12 and was pulled out by 12:30. Is that the kind of film we should be making? No, we shouldn't. Even in Satyam Shivam Sundaram, there was a certain dignity maintained. Aap sirf lesbianism par film banana chahte hain? Yaa gays pe film banana chahte hain? (Do you only want to make films about lesbianism or gays?) Fine, that is one section of society—I do not deny their existence. I respect everyone."

Decades later, veteran actress Mumtaz believes that had he stayed with Anju, he might still be alive today. The 'Prem Kahani' actress firmly dismissed rumours that she ever had a romantic relationship with Rajesh Khanna, though she admitted she had feelings for him. 'I wish I was involved with him, but I wasn't. I missed the boat, I'd say.

Malvi Malhotra: I'm currently taking online classes to learn Tamil
Malvi tells us that she decided to take up the film after watching Oru Nodi ( Jenma Natchathiram is made by the same team). 'I'm happy to be a part of Tamil cinema. The cinema made here is sensible. I'm currently taking online classes to learn Tamil,' says actress Malvi Malhotra, who is set to make her Tamil debut with the horror thriller Jenma Natchathiram. 'I TRY TO KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE I SIGN A PROJECT' Malvi tells us that she decided to take up the film after watching Oru Nodi ( Jenma Natchathiram is made by the same team). 'I really liked Oru Nodi . The next day, I received a narration and signed Jenma Natchathiram . I try to know everything about a project before I sign on the dotted line. I look at the story, my character graph, the technical team, the budget and the banner. It's important to do that because I want to be sure I'm doing the right film,' she shares. 'MY TAMIL DEBUT FILM IS ABOUT HOW GOOD WINS OVER THE BAD' Delving into her character and preparations for the film, the actress reveals, ' Jenma Natchathiram is a beautiful story of how good wins over the bad. My character in the film is named Riya. She believes in God and is a pure soul. Riya's character is relatable to any normal girl. So, much preparation wasn't needed. But I have seen films like The Omen to see how the characters behave.' 'I CAN UNDERSTAND TAMIL AND TELUGU, BUT MALAYALAM WAS MOST DIFFICULT' Malvi, who has acted in Telugu and Malayalam films ( Tiragabadara Saami and Abhyuham , respectively) already, shares that she loves learning new languages.

I'm also doing one film each in Hindi and Telugu. In Tamil, I'm currently listening to scripts. Recently, I've also auditioned for a Hollywood project. For me, it doesn't matter which language I'm working in. I want to explore everything that pushes me out of my comfort zone.' 'Kamal sir is such a good actor; Dhanush is magic on screen' Ask Malvi about her favourites from Tamil cinema, and she replies, 'I can name Kamal Haasan, Dhanush, and Vijay Sethupathi. Kamal sir is such a good actor, and the way Dhanush performs on screen looks like magic. Among the directors, I love Mani Ratnam sir. I've watched all his films. Sridevi is an actress I like a lot; she is my favourite.'

Dot Com(plex), Bot Simplex: How AI is Rewriting the Media Mix
Imagination is running a race against artificial intelligence. Every year in June, Cannes is the venue of a glittering celebration of creativity, ambition kept fuelled by very expensive rosé and champagne. This year the techies were all 'demonstrating' AI like fruit merchants at a fresh market. Meta 's Mark Zuckerberg declared that his platform will deliver everything from creative to deployment , end-to-end. He calls it 'Infinite creative'. OpenAI 's Sam Altman claimed that 95% of tasks traditionally performed by agencies and creatives will soon be handled 'easily, instantly, and at nearly no cost' by AI. Reality is probably going to be much less dramatic in terms of the pace and scale of disruption. But the train is definitely headed there. Technology has destabilized the ad world as much as provided it opportunities for growth. From print and billboards to radio . There onwards to TV and to digital platforms in the early 2000s . Each time the rules of media buying and consumer engagement were rewritten. But creative work lived through disruption. Humans had agency. Maverick copywriters, visual artists, and brand strategists ruled the Ad world and they were the ones whose names earned Cannes Lions . But now AI has started to claim that agency. Tools from TikTok , Meta, and Google can now generate video ads, rewrite copy, translate messages into multiple languages, and even customize creative to user segments, all at the click of a button. Meta's new features can personalize ad text across ten languages. Google's Performance Max and TikTok's AI Studio churns out campaigns from simple text prompts. All this and more was on display across tented pavallions, beachside seminars and fancy demos in hotel suites, at Cannes. The cost -quality equation is quite is perfectly suited to the staple humdrum of hardworking mass media run creatives. Over the past few decades, the value chain in advertising was fairly linear: agencies devised the message, media firms distributed it, and tech platforms optimized the spend. But the platforms are no longer content being middlemen. They are targeting, measuring, and increasingly, making the ads too. Search is now becoming a conversation more than a recommendation of sources. AI-powered search doesn't just know what users are searching for , but why. This context-rich data promises even higher ad performance. The industry's power structure is consolidating. In 2019, the four biggest players—Google, Meta, Amazon, and ByteDance—held just over a third of the global ad market. By 2024, that share had surpassed 50%. AI is reshaping targeting, tracking, and creation to add to this concentration. These digital overlords have the infrastructure, the data, and now the creative tools. While DIY tools empower small businesses, the real gains are accruing to the giants. Building and running effective AI systems requires computing power, vast datasets, and technical sophistication . Whether 'buy or build', it is expensive and scale-dependent to win in AI. In this way, AI is less a great equalizer than a great multiplier of existing power. The Rebirth of PR—and Congregational Branding Here lies one of the most surprising twists in AI's rise: it may revive public relations as a core pillar of branding. As users shift from search engines to conversational AI agents like ChatGPT, Bard, or Gemini, the inputs that influence recommendation engines are no longer just ads—they're text, tone, and trust. To influence chatbot recommendations, brands must now influence the sources that feed them. That means press coverage, reviews, and long-form content. Infographics must be translated into readable text. At a collective level , reputation was not developed from the fine print. But, AI systems have the capacity to make every fine print legible. Hence the reputational signals will be picked up irrespective of how upstream they may be. The cruel irony is that the most powerful branding in the AI era may not be flashy visuals, but plain, factual prose. This also brings new value to congregational moments. The human collective is precious. events that draw attention, create conversation, and get into media coverage . Think product launches, partnerships, charity drives, sustainability summits. These generate press, buzz, and backlinks, signals that AIs absorb. As attention fragments, these tentpole moments become focal points of influence, especially in a media ecosystem where LLMs are the new gatekeepers. But this makes it very important for attribution to be strengthened. The corroboration of media efforts to economic value of a brand needs the stature of an axiomatic truth. Agency models are melting like never before Because of the changes afoot, the agency organisation and revenue model both will need to change hugely. From paying for time clients will want to pay for end outcomes Hence, agency stocks have tumbled. Four of the five major holding companies have seen share price declines since 2023. Omnicom and Interpublic are set to merge by year-end in an effort to save costs and stay competitive. WPP is in CEO transition mode. Publicis, the standout, has retained investor confidence by pushing a narrative of deep AI integration. AI won't just create and place ads. It will also read them. Google recently introduced an AI-powered shopping agent that not only alerts users when prices drop but may soon be able to make purchasing decisions on its own. Brands will soon need to optimize not just for human persuasion, but for machine logic. By the way this 'trigger at a threshold' Agentic action exists in many cases even today : auto bill pay, banking instructions, fees, interest computation, insurance renewals and so on.. What happens when the viewer of an ad is an AI agent tasked with buying a product on behalf of its owner? Should the price of an ad impression be different when seen by a bot than by a human? These are the next frontiers of media pricing, targeting, and influence. 'Marketing -Advertising- PR- Media'has survived extinction-level events globally : radio in the 1920s, television in the 1970s, internet ,web , social in the 2000s. AI is doing three things not ever faced earlier .First , human creativity and machine replication is shrinking faster than AI is not democratizing intelligence. It's centralizing it. While small brands gain access to tools, the largest players are securing the most value by leveraging capital, data, and infrastructure at AI is scrambling and reordering the importance of media channels and brand strategies in unpredictable ways. Outdoor, PR, Institutional events and awards will gain strength. LLMs don't care how a consumer feels. They care what they read.
