All about Shah Rukh Khan's injury
Shah Rukh had suffered an injury while shooting his upcoming film, King, a couple of weeks ago. HT reported the actor was shooting an intense sequence for the Siddharth Anand directorial at a studio in Mumbai when he injured himself. 'He was shooting in Mumbai when he was injured. The exact details of the injury are being held under wraps at the moment. It is more of a muscular injury and nothing serious. That being said, it is not being taken lightly. Shah Rukh has travelled to the US for medical attention. He has been suggested to take a one-month rest,' a source told us.
Due to the injury, King's planned shoot schedule for July and August has been cancelled. Shooting will resume later once Shah Rukh has healed. Directed by Siddharth Anand, King marks Shah Rukh's first on-screen collaboration with daughter, Suhana Khan.
However, SRK seems to be in good spirits. In his video message, the actor joked about his injury. Addressing his fans, he said, "I would love to spread my arms and share my love, but I am a bit indisposed. But don't worry! Just keep the popcorn ready. I will be back in theatres and soon on the screen." He then proceeded to do his signature arms-wide pose, with only one hand extended.

Durgapur director wins Swarna Kamal at nat'l awards for short film on gender identity
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: A Durgapur director's Hindi short film—'Flowering Man'— which explores a daughter's gradual acceptance of her father's queerness, won the top honour (Swarna Kamal) in the non-feature film category at the 71st National Film Awards. The award includes a cash prize of Rs 3 lakh, with the citation praising the director, Soumyajit Ghosh Dastidar. Notably, the citation avoids directly referencing the film's engagement with queer themes, instead stating that its "cohesive narrative allows it to resonate on multiple levels." Speaking to TOI, Dastidar said, "I would love to go back and make a film in Bangla, not necessarily in Kolkata. I feel that so much of Bengal is still unexplored in cinema. " Born in Chinsurah, Ghosh Dastidar calls Durgapur his hometown, though he now works as a freelance writer in Mumbai. While growing up in Durgapur, he was warned never to swallow the seeds of an orange, else a plant would start growing inside his stomach. The idea prompted him to doodle a figure with a flowering plant growing from his mouth. He used that visual imagery and synergised it with his observations of gender identity and sexuality while writing the screenplay of this film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo The film employs the metaphor of a growing flower to symbolise the protagonist's desire to embrace the true identity as a woman. "Making this diploma film with Avirat Patil, PR Manikandan, Anurag Pant, and Aritra Majumdar was a wonderful experience. My FTII batchmate, Amartya Ray, composed the music. The cast includes Tanishka Meesala and Rajeev Gaursingh," he said.

"We unfairly associate gender with things like clothes and jewellery. Our conditioning ignores the fact that each of us is fluid in our gender preferences. A human being, at any stage in life, can discover that they are fluid," he said. He also emphasised that much of what happens in our lives finds no reflection in contemporary Indian cinema. Speaking about the controversy over 'The Kerala Story' receiving a National Award, Dastidar said, "Celebrating a film that promotes a certain propaganda creates an atmosphere of fear."

'Aadujeevitham' snubbed at National Awards as Jury chairperson felt Prithviraj's performance 'lacked authenticity'
Besides, the film was nominated for Best Male Playback Singer and Best Lyrics (for Periyone Rahmane by Rafeeq Ahammed), but was disqualified partly because the producers did not submit an English translation of the lyrics. Reacting to the turn of events, director Blessy, in an interview with Cinema Express, expressed his disappointment. 'I don't know what to say. I think it's better not to talk about it. They will have a lot of justification to make, but let people respond to it, not me. … At the end of the day, it's the general audience who are made to look inferior," he said. He emphasized that the film met all technical eligibility criteria—censorship was completed before the December 31, 2023, deadline, and it was among six films selected by the regional panel for national consideration. Prominant writer Benyamin—the author of the original novel—also expressed disappointment in the film not being recognised at the national level. 'When 100 people watch a film, there will be 100 opinions. The Jury Chairman is just one of them. People have embraced the film and expressed their views. That is enough for me… The Jury Chairman, too, has to live in India, does he not? If there was any sincerity, the jury would have acted more truthfully,' he told Cinema Express. The 71st National Film Awards was announced on August 1, with actor Shah Rukh Khan winning his career's first Best Actor award for "Jawan" alongside Vikrant Massey for "12th Fail," which was named the Best Feature Film. Malayalam cinema also had some fruitful outings with Vijayaraghavan and Urvashi being named best supporting actors in the male and female categories — a rare double win for Mollywood.
