Producer Suresh Kumar shifts blame to Mohanlal's L2 Empuraan for censor issues over Janaki vs State of Kerala
Union Minister and actor Suresh Gopi is making the headlines after his movie Janaki vs State of Kerala was caught up in a row with the CBFC. As the legal battle is leading to a title change, producer Suresh Kumar reacted to the same and blamed Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan for this situation. Suresh Kumar blames L2: Empuraan for CBFC row In an interaction with Manorama Online, the veteran producer blamed the Mohanlal starrer for the clash with CBFC and said, 'Empuraan had to be recensored due to the controversy. That's when the censor board became more cautious. That's why this problem has arisen; everything began from there.' Interestingly, Suresh Gopi had spoken about the movie L2: Empuraan in the Parliament, but has yet to make any comments on his film. Janaki vs State of Kerala controversy For those unaware, the upcoming Malayalam-language movie Janaki vs State of Kerala was caught in a legal conundrum over the use of the name 'Janaki' in the title. The movie was initially slated to release on June 27, 2025, but was refused certification by the film board over the title character's name. This led to a legal soup, which was recently resolved. The CBFC recently informed the High Court of Kerala that if changes were made to the title, making it either 'Janaki V vs State of Kerala' or 'V Janaki vs State of Kerala,' they would approve its certification. Additionally, the film's body also wants the name to be muted in one of the courtroom scenes. The makers of the Suresh Gopi starrer have seemingly agreed to this, with a new release date to be made soon. The movie, directed by Pravin Narayanan, features Anupama Parameswaran as the female lead and Gopi's son Madhav Suresh playing a supporting role. What happened with L2: Empuraan? Earlier, Mohanlal starrer L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, faced backlash from certain religious groups for its plot. The 2019 film Lucifer's sequel faced recensoring due to elements that were deemed offensive to a particular community, sparking considerable debate among prominent figures.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi: Smriti Irani was paid Rs 1800 per episode in first season, now her fee per episode for season 2 is Rs... In the golden age of television, many soap operas came and went. Some entertained us for a brief time and then quickly vanished from our memory; others gave us some unforgettable memories that remain etched in our hearts after many years of their release. But amongst the many shows that came and went, there was one show that stood out the most, so much so that it was compelled to make a comeback, and now it's returning after 25 years. The Return of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Yes, the show we are talking about is none other than Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The lead role of Tulsi Virani was played by Smriti Irani. Her innocence and strong screen presence rose her to fame and quickly made her a household name. Now, after 25 years, the comeback of this show has been announced, and the audience is nothing but elated to witness the reboot avatar of Tulsi. However, what is interesting is that the reboot version will not only feature Smriti Irani but also Amar Upadhyay, who played Mihir Virani, reuniting with Smriti on-screen. Fans are excited to see the union of this iconic pair once again. As per the reports. The first episode of the new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi will premiere on 29th July at 10:30 PM on Star Plus, and it will also stream on Disney+ Hotstar. Smriti Irani's Evolution as Tulsi Virani But besides their comeback, people were also intrigued to discover that Smriti Irani, who played the role of Tusli Irani in 2000, was paid Rs 1800 per episode. And cut to now, she is charging remuneration of Rs 14 lakh for the reboot. This dramatic increase in her fees is not just a reflection of her fame in the entertainment industry, but also her name and fame in politics. The return of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi isn't just about reliving memories. It's about taking the legacy forward and reimaging a cult classic.

Pant's bid to Kohli's beard joke: What happened in Yuvraj's fundraiser?
In a glittering hall under the chandeliers of cricketing history, Indian cricket's present, past, and future came together for an evening of laughter, nostalgia and generosity at Yuvraj Singh's charity fundraiser for YouWeCan. While the mood was light and playful, the event raised over £1 million for cancer patients — with India's wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant making the highest bid of £17,000 to present an award to Jasprit Bumrah, according to an Indian Express report. Pant raises the stakes and eyebrows The night's most animated moment belonged to Rishabh Pant, who entered a fierce bidding war to become the presenter for an award to India's most valuable player, Jasprit Bumrah. Pant's relentless paddle-raising — undeterred by deep-pocketed Londoners — had his teammates in stitches, shaking their heads at his audacity, much like they do on the field. The bid was more than symbolic. While others paid up to £12,450 for tables that offered "exclusive access to Yuvraj," Pant's contribution set a new benchmark. His £17,000 bid reflected not just generosity but his larger-than-life personality. The anti-Oscars: Razzie-style awards for Team India In a fun twist, a set of cheeky awards — more Razzies than Oscars — were handed out to Indian players. Pant was 'honoured' for always being the last to board the team bus. Kuldeep Yadav got his award for constantly blaming 'bad times' for poor form, while Ravindra Jadeja was named the most persistent DRS requester. Even Mohammed Siraj wasn't spared. "Whenever the ball hits the pad, Siraj thinks it's out," said Gill, who, along with Gautam Gambhir, formed the awards jury. Shubman mimicked a failed LBW appeal by showing a half-foot gap between the ball and stump. The Indian team's table erupted in laughter. Gambhir's smile gets auctioned too Yuvraj Singh, known for his wit, didn't miss a chance to tease his former teammate Gautam Gambhir. "There needs to be a bid on making Gambhir smile," he joked, drawing chuckles from the room. Later, he praised Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar for their selection decisions, saying they had played a big role in India's recent success. Tendulkar's emotional recall of 2011 Cup In a rare reflective moment, Sachin Tendulkar recounted the eve of India's 2011 World Cup opener against Bangladesh. He remembered a subdued Yuvraj taking him out to dinner and vowing to win the cup. "Before the 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj's energy levels were not what they usually were," Tendulkar said, recalling the powerful resolve Yuvraj showed just before becoming the Player of the Tournament. Kohli's beard joke and boyhood memories When Virat Kohli took the stage, the announcer revealed how much the team missed him. Kohli responded with trademark humour: "I just coloured my beard two days back… when you start doing that after every four days, it is time." Later, he shared a nostalgic anecdote about watching one of Yuvraj's epic innings with KL Rahul in the dressing room. "It felt like watching him save India again," he said, stroking his chin. A night of memories, laughter and purpose As stories flowed and laughter echoed, the evening became a celebration of Yuvraj's journey—from cancer survivor to cricket mentor and humanitarian. For one night in London, cricket's greats relived old glories, created new memories, and came together for a cause close to their hearts.
