Inside Honey Singh's vanity van: Singer admits Netflix paid him a ‘fat' amount for documentary on his life, jokes ‘If you pay me more, I will tell you more'
In an interview with Curly Tales, he explained how the documentary was made, and showed off his decadent vanity van. When the 'Brown Rang' singer was asked about his documentary, he said, 'These Netflix guys came to me and said that they want to shoot a documentary on my life and they paid me fat so I said, 'Okay. No problem. If you pay me more, I will tell you more.''
The singer went on to talk about his live concerts and how he loves the Delhi audience over any other audience in the world. He also shared that since he was born and raised in Karampura, Delhi, he has a special connect with the city. He said, 'Delhi crowd is crazy. Mumbai is also good. All are good but Delhi is special because I am from Delhi and they know me, like it's our neighbour, our brother on stage. They have seen my journey.'
Despite his iconic collaborations with Bollywood stars, the singer, during a rapid-fire round, chose independent singers over Bollywood collaborations. He explained, 'That made me what I am today. Bollywood happened to me as a compliment in my life. I want to thank the big legends who came into my life and gave me opportunity like Salman bhai, Shah Rukh bhai, Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and all these legends. They made me big as well but Independent music made my identity.'
Honey Singh has belted out various popular hit tracks for Hindi films, including 'Lungi Dance', which featured him, Shah Rukh Khan, and Deepika Padukone in the film Chennai Express. His original songs that featured in Hindi films include 'Desi Kalakaar', 'Blue Eyes', 'High Heels Te Nachche', 'Party All Night', and others.

‘Assassin's Creed' live-action series greenlit by Netflix
After years in development, Netflix's long-awaited live-action adaptation of Assassin's Creed is officially a go. The streaming platform confirmed that the series, based on Ubisoft's blockbuster video game franchise, has received a formal series order. Roberto Patino (Westworld, DMZ) and David Wiener (Halo, Brave New World) will serve as co-creators, showrunners, and executive producers on the series, which marks the first live-action entry under the ongoing partnership between Netflix and Ubisoft. 'Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin's Creed opens to us,' the duo said in a joint statement, describing the series as one that explores 'power, violence, faith, destiny — and above all, human connection.' The official logline for the show describes it as centering on a hidden war between two factions — one seeking to control humanity's future, and another determined to protect free will. The story will unfold across various historical eras, keeping with the game's time-jumping legacy. Assassin's Creed made its gaming debut in 2007 and has since sold over 230 million copies worldwide, becoming one of Ubisoft's most valuable franchises. The latest installment, Assassin's Creed: Shadows, launched in 2025. A film version starring Michael Fassbender was released in 2016. Netflix and Ubisoft have previously collaborated on animated projects, including Rabbids Invasion and the upcoming Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. The Assassin's Creed series marks their biggest live-action venture to date.

Netflix's ‘Vir Das: Fool Volume' Review: Not just a stand-up comedian, he is the comedy ecosystem
Netflix's 'Vir Das: Fool Volume' Review: Vir Das has set the bar for stand-up comedy too high, not only for others, but for himself too. And every time you watch his shows, it's like an exercise for the brain. read more 'Vir Das: Fool Volume' shows stand-up comedy performances across three major cities in the world; London, Mumbai and New York. This is a show that Vir Das wrote in silence. Vir mentioned, he lost his voice while writing the show and had to go through several sessions with the therapist. He is truly the one Indian stand-up comedian who has a global voice. So, just make the noise you want to be remembered for and he just does it perfectly. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It's very true when he says that there is this post-colonial resentment of the English language among the Indian masses. We equate English with privilege. Vir Das rightly says in one of the shows, 'If you speak in English, then you are often called that Vir Das is not relatable, but then neither was Oppenheimer.' Truly there is a common observation in India that if your English is bad, you will often be judged and be labelled as classless, but if your English is good, you will be called privileged or elitist. You will be called, 'You sound privileged, not relatable.' The best thing about Vir Das is unlike today's younger stand-up comedians, each of his shows is well-researched and sharp, and most importantly, it is connected to the present-day situations and socio-political news happening around us. But one thing that Vir mentioned and I totally agree with is that today's generation of kids are outspoken, not silent. They voice their opinions without any fear. His observation of the world for today's generation is also hilariously true, when he says how the world has all of a sudden become vertical and when his nephew says, 'Vir mama (uncle), the world has changed, life is vertical.' Truly, as he mentions, new generation guys are obsessed with identity, not personality. One thing is true: when he said that during our younger days, when we complained about anxiety to our parents and teachers, we were asked to do jumping jacks. And anxiety would just jump out of the body. Truly, we didn't have the luxury of visiting a therapist. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Netflix stand-up special Vir Das: Fool Volume touches upon several current issue,s including religion, privilege, patriotism and the obsession of speaking in Marathi in Mumbai. This man is truly ahead of his time. Rating: 3 and half out of 5 WATCH the trailer of 'Vir Das: Fool Volume' here:
