Although Shefali Jariwala was not taking the tablets on a doctor's consultation, it did not affect her health, the actor's family said, reported Hindustan Times

Director Matt Reeves completes Batman 2 script
Washington DC [US], July 1 (ANI): Director Matt Reeves and writer Mattson Tomlin have completed their script for 'The Batman II', more than three years after the first film starring Robert Pattinson came out in theatres, reported Deadline. Taking to their Instagram handle, the pair shared a blurred black and white photo of the script with a bat on the cover, under which the fuzzy title seems to say 'The Batman: Part II.' Reeves captioned the post, which is a collab share with co-writer Tomlin, "Partners in Crime (Fighters)." He also tweeted the photo and tagged Tomlin. The caption cleverly alludes to Robin, who did not appear in the first film. According to Deadline, the sequel was first announced in April 2022 on the heels of the first film's March 4 theatrical release, which also starred Colin Farrell as Oz the Penguin, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, Jeffrey Wright as Lt. James Cordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred and more. This news of the script's completion comes just ahead of the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran's Superman, which will herald in the new DC universe, reported Deadline. Earlier, James Gunn responded to fans' complaints online about the delay of the script, telling them to be patient, in his own style. "Listen, we're supposed to get a script in June," he told Entertainment Weekly as quoted by Deadline. "I hope that happens. We feel really good about it. Matt's excited. I talk to Matt all the time. I'm totally excited about it. So we can't wait to read the scripts, but we haven't read it yet, if that's your question," reported Deadline. "People should get off Matt's because it's like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That's just the way it is. He doesn't owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does," said James Gunn as quoted by Deadline. 'The Batman: Part II' will arrive in theatres on October 1, 2027. Reeves first film made 369.3M USD domestically and 772M USD worldwide at the box office. (ANI)

Vishnu Manchu's 'Kannappa' allegedly under piracy attack, actor calls it
New Delhi [India], July 1 (ANI): Actor Vishnu Manchu is currently basking in the success of his recently released film 'Kannappa', which has received a positive reaction at the box office. However, the movie has now allegedly fallen victim to 'piracy'. Taking to his X handle, Vishnu Manchu revealed that over 30,000 'illegal links' of the movie 'Kannappa' have already been taken down, calling the situation 'heartbreaking'. Vishnu Manchu urged the viewers to support the 'cinema' in the right way by not consuming pirated content. He wrote: 'Dear movie lovers, #Kannappa is under attack from piracy. Over 30,000 illegal links have already been taken down. This is heartbreaking. Piracy is theft -- plain and simple. We don't teach our children to steal. Watching pirated content is no different. Please don't encourage it. Support cinema the right way. Har Har Mahadev.' Prior to the film's release, the makers of Kannappa faced a roadblock when they claimed that the hard disk containing the movie's visuals had been allegedly stolen from the studio. As per an Inspector at the Film Nagar police station, the unknown individuals allegedly entered the office and stole a hard disk containing VFX visuals of the Kannappa movie. Kannappa boasts an ensemble cast of Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Vishnu Manchu, Mohan Babu and Kajal Aggarwal. It is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The movie has been produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu, Vishnu Manchu's father. A significant portion of the film was shot in New Zealand, with the team mounting the project on a grand scale. At the centre of the film is a story of profound spiritual devotion: the legend of Kannappa, a fearless tribal hunter whose unshakable love for Lord Shiva propels him to perform one of the most selfless acts ever chronicled. This timeless narrative of courage and surrender is adapted for the screen with high-octane visuals, thrilling moments, and soul-stirring emotion. Vishnu Manchu, who plays the titular role, delivers what many are already calling a career-defining performance. His physicality, expressive power, and emotional range bring Kannappa to life with raw intensity and spiritual gravitas. From battle sequences to heart-wrenching devotional scenes, Vishnu showcases an astonishing blend of action-hero dynamism and soulful sensitivity. The movie was released in theatres worldwide on June 27. (ANI)

Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit condemns Naseeruddin Shah's support to Diljit Dosanjh amid 'Sardaar Ji 3' controversy
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 1 (ANI): Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit condemned the support of Nasseruddin Shah for Diljit Dosanjh amid the ongoing controversy against the singer-actor for collaborating with Pakistani artist Hania Aamir for 'Sardaar Ji 3'. Against the massive backlash to Dijit Dosanjh from celebrities, social media and Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), Naseeruddin Shah defended the singer, saying that the singer wasn't responsible for the film's casting, and expressed his disapproval of restricting personal interactions between India and Pakistan. While speaking to ANI, Ashoke Pandit pointed out the 'jumla party' remark made by Nasseruddin Shah in his Facebook post on Monday, referring to critics of Diljit. 'We are not surprised, not shocked by Naseeruddin Shah's response to Diljit Dosan's entire episode. He calls us Jumla party, he calls us goons. The educated, versatile actor, senior person in the industry, calling us goons proves the frustration and kind of restlessness of Naseeruddin Shah,' said Ashoke Pandit. He further said, ' Naseeruddin Shah says that he was not responsible for casting. Well, I would like to tell Naseeruddin Shah that he was an actor. He could have refused to work with Pakistani actors.' Ashoke Pandit called Pakistan a 'terror' nation while remembering the recent Pahalgam attack. While condemning Shah's support for Diljit, Ashoke Pandit said: 'It's very sad that I have to, on behalf of the Federation of Western India's senior employees, I have explain to him the real situation between Pakistan and India. Naseeruddin Shah, from the last 40 years, Pakistan has been abusing and attacking India. They have killed people, they have raped people, they have massacred people in this country of ours. It's not only Pahalgam. It is the latest attack. Before that Pulwama, Uri, Mumbai Blast, 26/11, there are so many attacks Pakistan is responsible. And Pakistan is a terror nation.' He further said, 'For us, our country comes first. So, our response to the entire episode, our response to the entire film Sardar 3, according to us is right. Let me tell you Naseer sahab, we have taken a call of issuing a non-cooperation against Daljeet and we have already issued.' FWICE has also issued a 'noon-cooperative directive' to singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh after he collaborated with Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3'. The film union body has demanded an unconditional apology from the actor for allegedly hurting the 'national sentiments' and disregarding the 'sacrifices' of the Indian soldiers by his actions. 'As an Indian, your first responsibility is towards your country. You have failed in that regard, and your professional choices have made it abundantly clear that the nation's interest is not your priority. In view of this gross violation and your continued disregard of national directives and sentiments, FWICE hereby issues a Non-Cooperation Directive against you with immediate effect. All associations affiliated with FWICE and their members are instructed not to cooperate with you on any current or future projects until such time as you publicly disassociate from the said collaboration and issue an unconditional apology to the Indian film fraternity and the citizens of India,' read the letter. After the massive backlash from the film fraternity, FWICE and social media, the makers of Sardaar Ji 3 have announced that they will not release their movie in India. (ANI)
