Amazon MGM Studios announces theatrical release of Anurag Kashyap's crime drama ‘Nishaanchi'
'Nishaanchi' delves into the complex lives of two brothers who walk starkly different paths, uncovering how their choices shape their destinies.
Produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under the banner of Jar Pictures in association with Flip Films, 'Nishaanchi' marks the acting debut of Aaishvary Thackeray who stars alongside Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Kumud Mishra in pivotal roles.
Kashyap said 'Nishaanchi' was written in 2016 and since then he has been looking for a studio that trusted the team 'whole heartedly'.
'Amazon MGM loved it, believed in it, and became the wall behind us. This is exactly what happened with all my films that people love – they were backed by great producers and great Studios.
''Nishaanchi' is a story full of raw human emotions, love, lust, power, crime and punishment, betrayal, redemption and the consequences of it all. I have been extremely fortunate to find a bunch of good people and superb actors and my most beautiful crew to tell this story in the best possible way that I would have wanted. Working with the team at Amazon MGM Studios has been an immensely rewarding and beautiful experience. It was like going back to my early days of filmmaking. We're excited, nervous, and can't wait to share the film with the audience to experience, when it releases in theatres this September,' the filmmaker said.
Nikhil Madhok, Director & Head of India Originals, Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video, said collaborating with Kashyap, 'a maestro of raw, unfiltered, and emotionally charged storytelling', has been nothing short of incredible.
'We firmly believe in the future of the theatrical film business and are excited to share that we will be bringing a slate of compelling cinematic movies to theatres over the next few years.
'We are proud that 'Nishaanchi' is part of this initial slate, with its intricately woven story that blends suspense, love, conflict, and layered characters. It exemplifies our commitment to exploring fresh narratives that will resonate with our diverse audience. The music of the film, in particular, is a standout element, and a testament to Anurag's unique creative vision,' Madhok said. PTI BK BK BK

‘D Gukesh has done it': R Praggnanandhaa defends Magnus Carlsen's controversial table slam reaction, says ‘it was an…'
Norway Chess 2025 saw D Gukesh script his maiden classical win against World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen. The reigning world champion had already lost to Carlsen in the opening round, but had other plans in Round 6, when they faced each other again. R Praggnanandhaa spoke about Magnus Carlsen's table slam reaction after losing to D Gukesh. In their second meeting of the tournament, Carlsen had the advantage, but a massive blunder in the endgame saw Gukesh win the game. Meanwhile, Carlsen was left fuming as he slammed the table in anger. Since then, Carlsen's reaction has gone viral on social media, and has become an iconic meme. New India No. 1 R Praggnanandhaa was recently asked about his perspective on Carlsen's table slam reaction. Speaking to PTI, he said, 'Yes, it was an instinctive reaction. I think it does happen to players. I've done it sometimes, but rarely.' 'I mean, it's (me hitting the table) not as powerful as Magnus because he's a strong guy, but Gukesh has done it and many others. It's just an instinctive reaction because you're so focused that it just comes out. 'But, I mean, is it a good thing? Maybe not. I don't think so because I guess it's not good. (Having said that), I think so many people got to know that something like this happened and it became such a big thing on the internet. 'And, I think it's good for the game in a way because a lot of people got to know that there was such a tournament going on and that such a dramatic game happened. 'So, I think there are some good things and bad things, but I think overall, chess is growing. That's what matters,' he added. The 19-year-old also recently became the new world No. 4 and India No. 1. He has an Elo rating of 2778.3, followed by D Gukesh (2776.6) in fifth position. Meanwhile, Arjun Erigaisi is sixth with an Elo rating of 2775.7.

Shefali Jariwala death: From anti-ageing pills to skin glow tablets - Here's what Mumbai police found at actor's home
Shefali Jariwala death: Amid investigations currently underway into what caused Kaanta Laga star Shefali Jariwala's death, Mumbai Police found anti-ageing medicine, skin glow tablets and vitamin supplements during a search at the actor-model's apartment in Andheri. Police had found two boxes of the beauty supplements while collecting the legal document entailing investigation details from Shefali's apartment, Hindustan Times reported. Shefali Jariwala, aged 42, passed away on Friday, June 27. The actor-model's husband Parag Tyagi had rushed Shefali to Mumbai's Bellevue Multispecialty Hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival. While initial reports mentioned that the 42-year-old actor passed away after suffering cardiac arrest, Mumbai Police said the reason behind Shefali Jariwala's death is still not clear. Investigations are currently underway. Mumbai: Bollywood actor Parag Tyagi, husband of actor Shefali Jariwala, Hindustani Bhau and others carry her mortal remains before her last rites, at her residence at Andheri, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Saturday, June 28, 2025. Jariwala passed away on Friday night at the age of 42. (PTI Photo) (PTI06_28_2025_000246A) Speaking about the self-care and beauty supplements found at the actor's house, Jariwala's family said that she was not taking the tablets on a doctor's consultation but it did not affect her health. After the actor's death, Shefali Jariwala's mortal remains were sent to Mumbai's RN Cooper Hospital for post mortem — reports of which — are yet to be released. Doctors at RN Cooper Hospital, however, now suspect that a sudden drop in Shefali Jariwala's blood pressure might have caused her death. Speaking to the media, a police officer said, 'Doctors at Cooper Hospital suspect a sudden dip in blood pressure as the likely cause of death. We are awaiting the post-mortem report for confirmation.'

(PTI Photo) (PTI06_28_2025_000282B) Shefali Jariwala's husband Parag Tyagi told the police that his wife had been fasting for Satyanarayan pooja performed at their residence. She even collapsed a day before that after consuming food, Parag told the police. During his podcast, actor-model Paras Chhabra had analysed Shefali's kundali (birth chart). In a startling revelation, he claimed that her astrological chart indicated the possibility of a 'sudden death." Hours after the 42-year-old actor's untimely passing, a clip of that particular instance from Paras Chhabra's podcast — in which Shefali Jariwala featured — went viral. Shefali Jariwala rose to fame in 2002 after starring in the music video 'Kaanta Laga,' which became immensely popular. She was just 20 years old at that time. She later went on to do more projects, including reality shows like Bigg Boss and Nach Baliye. In Nach Baliye, Shefali Jariwala participated alongside her husband Parag Tyagi.

Did Shefali Jariwala's use of anti-ageing drugs cause BP to fall? Are these treatments safe?
Indian actor-model Shefali Jariwala's death last Friday has thrown up many questions. Did her use of anti-ageing medicines on an empty stomach cause a fatal drop in her blood pressure? Did the use of glutathione injections for skin whitening damage her body? read more Actress and model Shefali Jariwala, best known for her appearance on 'Bigg Boss 13' and the remix of the song 'Kaanta Laga', died late Friday (June 27) . File image/PTI Trying to be beautiful can be deadly. The sudden death of actor-model Shefali Jariwala is another cautionary tale in this saga. On Saturday (June 28), India woke up to the news of the death of the 42-year-old, best known for her appearance in the video of the hit remix of the song Kaanta Laga and reality show, Bigg Boss 13. On Friday night, Jariwala was rushed to a hospital in Mumbai's suburbs where doctors declared her dead. The cause of her death has not yet been officially confirmed. However, the police ruling out foul play suspected a cardiac arrest to be the cause of her demise. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Jariwala's demise is believed to have caused owing to the anti-ageing pills and injections she was using — which has once again put the spotlight on the heavy price people pay in their attempt to remain forever young and beautiful. Jariwala, pills and low BP As Jariwala's family and loved ones mourn her loss, the attention has shifted to her alleged use of anti-ageing treatments , including pills and even an injection and their alleged reaction to her. Sources close to her have revealed to various news outlets that the 42-year-old was ingesting anti-ageing pills and even using glutathione injections for the past five-six years to maintain a youthful appearance. Parag Tyagi, husband of actor Shefali Jariwala, and others carry her mortal remains before her last rites, at her residence in Mumbai. PTI According to the findings from the initial medical examination, Jariwala's death was 'a result of low blood pressure, cardiac arrest and heavy gastric condition'. And people close to her have now revealed that she had reportedly been fasting for a puja on the day of her death and had taken her regular pills and an anti-ageing injection on an empty stomach. Experts note that this may have been fatal to Jariwala — when pills or injections are taken without eating, they interact with the body quite differently than intended. In some extreme cases, it can lower blood pressure, resulting in a cardiac arrest. Use of anti-ageing medicines and glutathione injections While it hasn't been confirmed, the reported use of anti-ageing pills and injections has become a big focus of the case. Anti-ageing medication comprises drugs or a combination of drugs to slow down the process of ageing. In many cases, chemicals are repurposed from drugs meant for other diseases. Dr Rishi Parashar, Chairman, Dermatology, Sir Gangaram Hospital, Delhi, in an Indian Express report explains, 'The problem with repurposed drugs is that they may have US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and even CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation) approvals for a certain disease. But then their components are played around with by certain supplement makers claiming anti-ageing properties.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Many note that these 'anti-ageing doctors' prescribe the use of hormones willy-nilly. Nanette Santoro, MD, director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is quoted telling CNN, 'The concept is that if you take a 60-year-old woman and duplicate the hormone environment from when she was 20, she'll feel like she's 20.' Glutathione has become the latest fad in skincare and achieving lightening effects. Representational image/Pixabay In several cases, they use human growth hormone (HGH), a synthetic version of a pituitary hormone believed to be the miraculous fountain of youth. However, science shows that HGH predisposes people to heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Several other so-called experts sell their own line of supplements with no scientific backing, making it risky for users. Also under scrutiny is glutathione injections. Glutathione is an antioxidant, very good for your skin, that provides much needed immunity to detoxify your cells. It is produced by the liver and involved in many body processes. In the beauty industry, glutathione is administered — either intravenously or orally — to brighten the skin or to attain the lost lustre of the skin. However, this is not approved by medical bodies for cosmetic skin lightening. Data has, in fact, revealed that glutathione can cause allergic reactions, low blood pressure, kidney injury and interference with the body's natural antioxidant balance. This has led various global health agencies warning against its use for cosmetic reasons. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Moreover, glutathione is not legally available in India for skin treatments. Yet skin clinics administer glutathione injections, often alongside Vitamin C. Dr Deepali Bhardwaj, a consultant dermatologist, Delhi-NCR's Max Hospital, also noted that often women buy this chemical compound off the internet, without realising if it is counterfeit or safe to use. In fact, some medical studies have shown that continued use of glutathione could cause a strain on kidneys and liver, leading to serious health problems. Cosmetic surgeon Dr Anup Dhir also told Indian Express, 'A very important part of a glutathione injection is dosage, which needs to be calibrated and administered as per body weight. The recommended daily dose of glutathione for adults ranges from 500-2,000 mg per day when taken orally, or 10-20 mg/kg body weight when administered intravenously for disease supportive therapies. Who knows how much is being given for the skin?' Many dermatologists note that the one lesson to learn from Shefali Jariwala's demise is the importance of experts. Representational image/Pixabay Age well, age healthily Many dermatologists note that the one lesson to learn from Shefali Jariwala's demise is the importance of experts. They note that instead of going to unlicensed professionals, opt for a qualified dermatologist — one who would inform patients of treatments and their risks. They also warn against social media and those who appear on flashy Instagram reels perpetuating the wonders of their treatments. As Dr Bhardwaj wrote in The Print, 'Good dermatologists don't have flashy Instagram ads because we're too busy treating patients. Meanwhile, quacks spend fortunes on SEO, luring victims with cheap prices and empty promises.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Doctors also note that ageing naturally would be the best option to take.
