Nora Fatehi Defends Bad Bunny After Donald Trump Calls His Super Bowl Performance Absolutely Terrible – ‘There’s A Massive Message Sent To…’

Bad Bunny Super Bowl Performance - Nora Fatehi Supports, Donald Trump Criticises

The Super Bowl halftime performance by Bad Bunny has triggered a strong global reaction. While some praised the Puerto Rican star for proudly showcasing his culture on one of the world’s biggest stages, US President Donald Trump criticised the show, calling it “absolutely terrible”. Amid the backlash, actor-dancer Nora Fatehi publicly came out in support of Bad Bunny.

She described the performance as emotional and meaningful, saying it sent a powerful message about staying true to one’s roots.

Nora Fatehi Praises Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance

On Monday, Nora Fatehi shared a video on Instagram reacting to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance. She wrote, “The Super Bowl… bad bunny and my take. #superbowl #badbunny.”

In the video, Nora explained why the performance deeply resonated with her. She said, “So I just finished watching the Super Bowl performance that Bad Bunny did, and I had to come on here to speak to you guys about it for so many reasons. This especially to the South Asian community and the North African community because I feel like both of these communities are so connected and so similar to each other and both of these communities are so important to me as an artist and I see a lot of our South Asian, even our North African artists pushing and pushing to be seen on a global level and to be recognised through their culture and through their language.”

She also highlighted the pressure many artists face to dilute their identity for wider acceptance. Nora added, “And I’m sure just like Bad Bunny, so many people would tell them that, oh, you know, if you sing in your language or if you portray your culture or you celebrate too much of it, it’s not going to be relatable for the global audience, for the international audience, mainly the West.”

According to Nora Fatehi, Bad Bunny’s performance challenged that belief. She said, “With the Super Bowl performance, there is a massive message that was sent out to the entire world. Not just his community, not just the Latin American community, but to the entire world that no matter where you’re from, no matter who you are, if you believe in yourself, if you trace, if you stay true to yourself, if you’re authentic, the sky is the limit.”

Nora said the performance was deeply emotional for her and even brought tears to her eyes. She explained that it was powerful to see an artist celebrate his identity, culture, and history on such a huge stage, using music and dance to tell a meaningful story. What touched her most was that the performance focused on people and heritage rather than ego, and she believes moments like these will soon open doors for South Asian and North African communities to proudly showcase their culture, artists, and language on global platforms.

What Donald Trump Said About Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance

Bad Bunny’s halftime show was designed as a tribute to his roots. The set was inspired by his hometown in Puerto Rico and unfolded like a visual story of his culture. The performance featured energetic dancers, strong cultural imagery and music rooted in Latin identity. Ricky Martin joined him on stage, while Cardi B and actor Pedro Pascal were seen dancing during the show.

However, the use of foreign flags and cultural symbolism drew criticism from some viewers. Donald Trump reacted strongly on Truth Social and wrote, “The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity or Excellence.”

He further added, “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!”

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny surprised fans by deleting all his Instagram posts just hours after the performance. The move has added to the curiosity around what has become one of the most talked-about Super Bowl halftime shows in recent years.

Epstein Files: Royal Family Worried, Keir Starmer’s Era Is About To End? Is 10 Downing Street Getting Ready To Welcome Its First Muslim Head Of State?

Epstein Files

Epstein Files: Prince William and Princess Catherine are deeply concerned by the latest Jeffrey Epstein revelations in the United States. This was after more allegations against the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor emerged. Meanwhile, calls for the resignation of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have grown and it’s only moments before he gets busted for extending support to Peter Mandelson.

The ouster of Starmer could possibly translate into the United Kingdom getting a new face in Shabana Mahmood who is presently serving as the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Shabana may become the country’s first Muslim Prime Minister and occupy the 10 Downing Street.

Epstein Files-Allegations Against Peter Mandelson

The recently-released Jeffrey Epstein files have brought back the once-powerful Labour grandee Peter Mandelson into the spotlight, and not for the right reasons. Newly surfaced documents reveal a bond between the convicted sex offender and Mandelson, including emails where Epstein called him as his best friend. Epstein even urged Mandelson to fight for his early release for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Bloomberg’s Revelations

In September 2025, Bloomberg reported that Mandelson had good ties with Jeffrey Epstein. The freshly appointed UK’s ambassador to Washington was sacked dramatically by Starmer. The vetting of Whitehall missed the red flags of Mandelson, which prompted the UK PM to accuse Mandelson of lying about his links with Jeffrey Epstein. Opposition parties slammed the judgment of Starmer as a “disgrace” and even questioned if he was fully aware of Mandelson’s intimate relationships all along.

The Metropolitan Police launched a misconduct probe by February 2026 and raided properties linked with Mandelson. This was over allegations that Mandelson leaked sensitive financial crisis information to Jeffrey Epstein to help his financial interests. Surprisingly, Mandelson remarked he was duped by the lies of Jeffrey Epstein and had “profound sympathy” for Epstein’s victims.

Congress–Akali Hand-in-Glove Politics Exposed by Bittu; AAP’s Mann Broke the Rotten Power-Sharing Nexus: Baltej Pannu

Baltej Pannu


Aam Aadmi Party Punjab Media Incharge Baltej Pannu on Monday launched a scathing attack on Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal leaders, accusing them of running a secret, decades-long power-sharing cartel that looted Punjab while pretending to be political rivals.

Addressing a press conference at the AAP party office, Pannu played a video clip of Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, in which Bittu himself admits that in 2017 they planned and defeated Bhagwant Mann and ensure the victory of Sukhbir Badal, exposing the unholy alliance between Congress and Akali leadership.

“This is not an allegation by AAP. This is their own leader speaking. Ravneet Bittu has openly admitted that Congress and Akali Dal leaders worked together behind closed doors, deciding who would win, who would lose, and which seat would go to whom,” Pannu said.

Five Years One Looted, Then Next Five Years Other Looted, That Was Punjab’s Politics Before AAP

Pannu alleged that for years Punjab was run on a fixed-match model,“Five years you rule, five years we rule. You don’t question us, we won’t question you.” They protected each other. “This was not governance; it was organised political corruption,” he said.

Pannu detailed how constituencies were pre-decided between Congress and Akali leaders, Patiala for one, Lambi for another, Lehra Gaga, Sunam, Bathinda, Sangrur, Doaba, Majha, every region had its backroom deal between Akali and Congress leaders.

“Leaders would say one thing in Bathinda, another in Sangrur, and change their statement again by the time they reached Chandigarh. They didn’t even remember what they said where,” he added.

Pannu said the entire establishment panicked when a common man, a comedian from a village in Sangrur, entered politics and began exposing their nexus. “They tried to defeat Bhagwant Mann in 2017, they tried again in 2019. But Sangrur understood the truth in 2014 itself. When Mann Sahab won twice from Sangrur, the message travelled across Punjab, and in 2022, the people delivered their verdict.”

Pannu pointed out that in 2022, Punjab rejected the entire old order, Captain Amarinder Singh lost, Bikram Majithia lost, Parkash Singh Badal lost, Sukhbir Badal lost and Navjot Sidhu lost. “These were not coincidences. These were fallen pillars of a corrupt system,” he said.

Pannu said the opposition is rattled because Punjab has changed in four years, irrigation Water has reached tail-end farmers after 45 years, Sadak Surakhya Force (SSF) ensures emergency response within minutes, 16 toll plazas shut down, 600 units of free electricity to households, ₹10 lakh health insurance cover and Transparent governance without fear or favour.

“They don’t talk about work. All they say is ‘let us come, we will arrest Bhagwant Mann’. Arrest him for what? For giving water to farmers? For saving accident victims? For stopping loot?” Pannu asked.

Pannu said the biggest proof of AAP’s stand is that former Congress leader himself is now confessing. “Ravneet Bittu is a Union Minister today. He is not lying when he says he was sent with a message to defeat Bhagwant Mann and help Sukhbir Badal. The only question is, who sent him?”

Concluding, Pannu said, “Punjab today knows who played games together and who stood with the people. The era of secret deals is over. The era of honest politics has begun, and that is what they cannot tolerate.”

Bangladesh US Tariffs: Bhaichara On The Field, Backstabbing Off The Field! Would Zero Reciprocal Tariff Rebate For Dhaka Hurt Pakistan’s Economic Interests?

Bangladesh US Tariffs

Bangladesh US Tariffs: Bangladesh’s interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has successfully managed to deliver an Oscar-worthy begging victory, pushing its recently found ally and brother Pakistan on its feet.

On Monday, Bangladesh and USA unveiled a deal to reduce tariffs on Bangladeshi goods. A joint statement by the White House disclosed that the Trump administration would trim US “reciprocal” tariffs on products made in the Asian nation from 20 to 19 percent. This tariff rebate is seen by many in the political circles as an attempt by Washington to woo the to-be elected government that would be selected after the February 12 elections.

Bangladesh US Tariffs-How Would This Negatively Impact Pakistan And Its Exports?

The tariff reduction for Bangladesh may not bring happy smiles on the faces of Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. This is primarily because it is not good news for the export sector of Pakistan, especially in the context of garments and textiles.

The tariff reduction may substantially improve the competitiveness of Bangladesh in the American market, where tariffs on imports directly and greatly influence brand sourcing decisions and retail prices. For a terror state like Pakistan that already has limited exports to its credit, the consequences of the Bangladesh USA tariff rebate deal would be consequential and particularly troubling.

Bhaichara Or Backstabbing?

Under recent trade measures, Washington has imposed punitive reciprocal tariffs were imposed on a series of Pakistani products, ranging from 16 to 36 percent on products like cotton textiles and garments. This would make Pakistani goods relatively more expensive than those from suppliers such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and India.

The new favourable treatment for Bangladesh would now widen this gap further. This would end up seriously hurting the small-to-medium-sized garment exporters of Pakistan that compete directly on price.

In short, the tariff reductions on Bangladesh would erode the market share for Pakistani exporters that compete with Bangladesh and other nations in the low-mid segment. It may also hurt the export expansion plans of Pakistan in broader textile-linked sectors like technical fabrics and home textiles.

Don 3: ‘Ek Paisa Mat Dena…’ Netizens Support Ranveer Singh, Bash Farhan Akhtar For Demanding Rs 40 Cr

Ranveer Singh Gets Online Support over Farhan Akhtar Seeking Rs 40 cr Damages for Don 3

Ranveer Singh is reportedly locked in a major financial dispute with Farhan Akhtar-owned Excel Entertainment after exiting Don 3. What started as industry buzz has now turned into a Rs 40 crore standoff, putting the future of the film in doubt.

According to reports, Excel Entertainment has asked Ranveer Singh to compensate the production house for losses suffered during early pre-production. The makers claim that money was already spent on planning, scheduling, and crew arrangements before the actor stepped away from the project.

Sources say the production house believes it should not bear these losses alone. This difference in opinion has now escalated into a serious disagreement.

Ranveer Singh, however, is said to have strongly opposed the demand. Insiders claim the actor does not feel responsible for paying compensation. His exit is reportedly linked to creative differences, especially issues related to the script and the film’s direction.

Those close to the actor say Ranveer had raised concerns about the storyline and character arc. They also claim that his association moved forward only after initial approvals. From his side, the compensation demand is being seen as unfair.

A meeting between both sides reportedly took place to resolve the issue. However, it ended without any resolution. As a result, uncertainty continues around Don 3. Reports suggest Excel Entertainment has slowed down pre-production, while some crew members have been asked to look for other work.

Don 3 Rs 40 Cr Dispute Sparks Strong Online Reactions

After reports of Farhan Akhtar allegedly demanding Rs 40 crore went viral, social media reacted sharply. Many users came out in support of Ranveer Singh and criticised the production house.

Read some online user comments on Reddit below:

“Ranveer, put your foot down and ek paisa mat Dena iss Farhan ko.”

“Excel has had quite a few financially underperforming films in the last few years – they’re just pinning that blame on Ranveer singh after he left the ever-postponing Don 3, to maybe blackmail him to do their movie or extort some money in the name of contracts and losses.”

“Is Farhan trying to pressurise Ranveer into doing Don 3 or what. Cause if they really invested 40 crores, then they could continue with another actor too.”

“Kuch banana nahi h Farhan ko. He will jump to act in some other film shortly. He last directed a movie 15 years ago.”

“Ranveer Ek rupiya bhi mat dena iss washing machine ko.”

“This film was never going to be made. Now that Dhurandhar is a hit, Farhan is doing all this bullshit.”

“Ranveer left due to fees. Anyways don’t think he is going to pay a penny. Waste of time for Excel. Here for the drama, go on.”

“Zero pre-production is done for Don3 except for the announcement part, and there’s no finished script or any story. Dhurandhar ke baad thodi shanti aayi thi RS ke life me woh bhi chin rahe hai.”

Why Ranveer Singh Left The Film

Ranveer Singh reportedly exited Don 3 in late 2025 after long-standing creative disagreements. Sources say he asked for multiple changes to the script, while the makers claim pre-production began only after his initial approval.

Following his exit, Farhan Akhtar has reportedly put Don 3 on indefinite hold instead of recasting the lead. The filmmaker is said to have shifted focus to reviving his long-delayed project Jee Le Zaraa, with talks underway with the original cast.

Kanpur Lamborghini Accident: Lawyer Comes to Culprit’s Rescue, Denies Businessman Son’s Presence

Kanpur Lamborghini Accident

Kanpur Lamborghini Accident: A luxury Lamborghini Revuelto struck pedestrians and vehicles on VIP Road in Kanpur, causing injuries to many people. The Lamborghini is worth over ₹10 crore, and it creates a public outcry and continues to be investigated by the police after having been involved in this incident yesterday afternoon.

The Crash That Shook Kanpur

According to witness accounts, a Lamborghini ran over a motorcycle and numerous bystanders while traveling at a high rate of speed in a busy area before crashing into a telephone pole or similar object. The entire event would have looked like an absolute disaster for all involved, with the Lamborghini being the largest unit of destruction.

Legal Defense: Denial of Son Behind the Wheel

In response to escalating public rage and increasingly overwhelming evidence, including video evidence, the attorney representing Shivam Mishra, son of tobacco tycoon K.K. Mishra made an outrageous assertion: that his client was not operating the Lamborghini when it crashed. His assertion is that Shivam had appointed another person to be the designated driver and that therefore the crash was only an accident and that his client could not be held liable for the incident in any way.

Police Statement and Footage

Contrary to the lawyer’s statement, police sources and video footage appear to show Shivam being pulled from the driver’s seat by bouncers present at the scene. Authorities also noted that his private security intervened, triggering criticism that influence was being used to protect the accused.

Public Reaction and Ongoing Inquiry

The incident has sparked a wider debate on road safety, accountability, and the perception of VIP justice for affluent individuals. Police have seized the vehicle and are continuing the investigation, with charges and further legal proceedings expected.

Lahore 1947 Release Date: Will Independence Day 2026 Turn Into Battle Between Aamir Khan And Salman Khan? Netizens Say ‘Sunny Deol Paji Ke Samne…’

Lahore 1947 Release Date - Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol film might clash with Salman Khan starrer Battle of Galwan

Lahore 1947 Release Date: The Independence Day 2026 weekend is already creating strong buzz in Bollywood. Lahore 1947, the much-awaited period drama starring Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta, has officially locked its release date for August 13. As soon as the date was announced, talk of a possible box office clash began, with many linking it to Salman Khan’s upcoming war film Battle of Galwan.

The release date was announced on February 9. Lahore 1947 is produced by Aamir Khan under Aamir Khan Productions and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The film also stars Shabana Azmi, Abhimanyu Singh, Karan Deol, and Ali Fazal in important roles. It marks Sunny Deol’s reunion with Santoshi after their iconic 1990s films Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak.

Talking about the project, Aamir Khan said, “This was one of the favourite scripts of Dharamji, and I am so glad he could see the film.” The comment has added emotional depth to the film, which is set during the time of India’s Partition.

With a patriotic theme and a prime holiday slot, Lahore 1947 has quickly become one of the most talked-about releases of 2026.

Lahore 1947 Release Date Fuels Clash Debate

As Lahore 1947 prepares to arrive on August 13, attention has turned to Salman Khan’s Battle of Galwan. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the film has been postponed from its original April 17, 2026 release. It is now eyeing August 14, 2026 release, just a day after Sunny Deol’s film.

The decision is said to be strategic. The makers reportedly want to take advantage of the patriotic mood surrounding India’s 80th Independence Day. Battle of Galwan is based on the real-life 2020 military standoff between India and China, making the holiday weekend an important factor.

The delay is also linked to production and regulatory reasons. Final filming and reshoots are expected to continue until the end of February 2025. In addition, the film must undergo mandatory screening by the Ministry of Defence due to its sensitive subject, which has added to the timeline.

Although there is no official confirmation of a clash, the back-to-back release dates have triggered strong reactions online. Many fans believe that the films will avoid a direct face-off.

One user wrote, “Nahi hoga clash. Kuch jugaad kar lenge dono.”

Another commented, “# Lahore1947 will win by a big margin. Sunny Paaji ke samne koi nahi rok skta.”

A third added, “SRK Salman Aamir will never clash their movies.”

So far, the makers of Lahore 1947 have not shared details about formats, advance bookings or special screenings. The release date remains the only confirmed update.

Sunny Deol’s Strong Box Office Run

The excitement around Lahore 1947 is also boosted by Sunny Deol’s current success. His recent film Border 2 (which was released on January 23) continues to perform well at the box office. According to Sacnilk, the film collected around Rs 6.90 crore on its third Sunday, taking its domestic total to Rs 309.4 crore. On February 8, it recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 21.15 per cent. Worldwide, Border 2 has crossed Rs 450 crore.

Lahore 1947 also reunites Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta after Farz (2001) and The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003). For Zinta, the film marks her return to the big screen after Bhaiaji Superhit in 2018.

Ind Vs Pak T20 World Cup 2026: ‘Jag Hasai’ From Battlefield to Cricketing Pitch, U-Turn Master Does It Again, Pakistan All Set To Lose?

Ind Vs Pak T20 World Cup 2026: The U-turn specialists of world cricket have done it again. After a long-fought battle to win brownie points against the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and its long list of demands have fallen like a pack of cards, even before the game even started.

This backtracking reminds people of Pakistan’s antics during the Operation Sindoor when it first provoked India, dared it to fight and then begged it to stop the Indian Air Force’s lethal attacks.

Ind Vs Pak T20 World Cup 2026- Pakistan Buckles, Spins Crazy Cover Story

In an interesting turn of events, the PCB agreed to play its Group A match against arch-rivals India in Colombo on February 15, 2026. However, this was not before the ICC vehemently rejected 3 out of its 5 demands including the restoration of bilateral ties with India and a tri-series involving Pakistan, Bangladesh and India.

The development came a day after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), PCB and ICC for a crucial meeting in Lahore to ensure the February 15 match goes on.

In a statement, the Pakistani government commented that it directs the national cricket team of Pakistan to take the field against India in view of the request of friendly countries and the achieved outcomes in multilateral discussions.

The statement further reads that the decision has been taken to protect the gentleman spirit of cricket while also extending support to the game’s continuity in all participating nations.

BCB’s Request To PCB

Aminul Islam, the Bangladesh Cricket Board Chief, urged the PCB to take the field against India on February 15 for the greater good of the game. Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the President of Sri Lanka, also urged Shehbaz Sharif to amicably resolve the current impasse.

These face-saving proposals for the terror state were the only possible excuses that Pakistan wanted before Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Army Chief Asim Munir and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi succumbed and said they were ready for Team Pakistan to play India.

Ghaziabad Sisters’ Suicide Investigation Gets Murkier, Kumar’s Explanation for Second Marriage Raises More Questions, Here’s What Police Say

Ghaziabad Sisters’ Suicide
Google

After the recent suicides of three sisters in Ghaziabad, police are doing an investigation based on new information about their father, Chetan Kumar. According to this new evidence, police believe that Kumar has told different stories about how many wives and children he has had over the years.

Conflicting Marital Claims

In a three-bedroom unit, Kumar has been living together with his three spouses Sujata, Hina, and Tina and together they each have five (5) children. He did not disclose to his wife Tina that he had remarried. The marital police officials have indicated there is an inconsistency in Kumar’s justification for his second marriage, which he claimed was due to his first wife being childless; this was corroborated by the birth dates of the five children.

Suspicious Family Background

In 2015, Kumar had an alleged live-in relationship, but it ended due to the death of his partner from what authorities consider to be strange means. Police suspect that he is lying about the history of his marriage to his live-in girlfriend, who was his only known spouse. Reports suggest that all family members reside together in one room.

Circumstances Leading to Suicide

The sisters, aged between 12 and 14, reportedly became depressed after their father confiscated their mobile phones. The action was prompted by his concern over their obsession with Korean culture and task-based games.

Grandfather’s Appeal

Dilip, the maternal grandfather, has requested the government ban the Korean game implicated in the sisters’ obsession. He believes this could prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Police Action

Authorities continue to probe the case, evaluating the father’s conflicting accounts and the family’s living conditions. The investigation highlights deeper issues related to parental control, mental health, and adolescent pressures in modern urban households.

The case has sparked widespread concern and discussion, emphasizing the need for vigilance, mental health awareness, and careful monitoring of young people’s digital exposure.

Jana Nayagan Delay: Thalapathy Vijay Starrer Sent To CBFC Revising Committee After Legal Backtrack, Check Next Possible Release Time!

Thalapathy Vijay Starrer Jana Nayagan Release Date Delay Latest Update

Thalapathy Vijay’s final film Jana Nayagan remains stuck in uncertainty as it has now been sent to the Central Board of Film Certification’s (CBFC) revising committee. The move comes after weeks of legal tension between the film’s makers and the censor body, leaving fans anxious about the fate of the much-awaited release.

According to sources, the decision to approach the revising committee was taken by the producers, KVN Productions. On Monday evening, producer KL Narayana submitted a letter to the Madras High Court Registry seeking to withdraw the writ petition filed against the CBFC. The matter is listed for hearing on February 10 at 10.30 am.

This legal backtrack has triggered fresh buzz around the film’s release timeline, although clarity is still missing.

February Release Buzz Grows, But Silence Continues

After the latest developments, reports suggest that the makers may be targeting a February release for Jana Nayagan. However, there has been no official confirmation from the production house so far. The CBFC has also remained tight-lipped about the revising committee process and timelines.

Fans are growing restless as the delay stretches on. Jana Nayagan was originally slated to release in theatres on January 9. The release was postponed indefinitely after the film failed to receive its censor certificate on time. With every delay, expectations continue to rise, especially since the film marks Thalapathy Vijay’s final outing before his full-time political entry.

Jana Nayagan Delay Explained: Why CBFC Ordered A Revising Committee

The reasons behind the Jana Nayagan delay surfaced during court hearings. Legal counsel representing the CBFC informed the court that the chairman withheld the certificate after a board member filed an internal complaint. The submission claimed that certain dialogues in the film could damage or hurt religious sentiments.

The complaint also flagged the use of Armed Forces emblems in the film without oversight from a defence expert, which is mandatory under CBFC rules. Following this, the film was referred to a revising committee for a fresh review.

So, what does this process involve?

As per CBFC guidelines, a revising committee is formed when filmmakers are dissatisfied with the decision of the examining committee. The panel includes the CBFC Chairperson, or a board member in their absence, along with nine advisory panel members. None of them can be part of the original examining committee.

Each member watches the complete film without any cuts and records their verdict independently. The final decision is taken through a majority vote. In case of a tie, the presiding officer casts the deciding vote. If the Chairperson’s view differs from the majority, the film can even be sent to another revising committee.

Once a decision is reached, the makers must carry out the suggested changes and submit the revised version to the regional officer. In Jana Nayagan’s case, the revising committee is expected to include a defence expert due to the nature of the objections raised.

CBFC Refuses To Share Update On Jana Nayagan Delay

The CBFC has refused to share any updates on the certification status. CBFC Regional Officer D Balamurali told The Hindu on February 2, “All our examination process is confidential. We cannot reveal anything until a certificate is issued. The law prohibits sharing of any such information.”

The legal battle began on January 6 when the makers moved the Madras High Court over the non-issuance of the censor certificate. On January 9, a single judge directed the CBFC to certify the film with a U/A 16+ certificate. However, the case escalated after further legal challenges, eventually leading to the decision to approach the revising committee.

For now, Jana Nayagan remains in limbo, with fans hoping for a positive outcome that finally clears the way for Thalapathy Vijay’s final film to reach theatres.

Apart from Vijay, the film also stars Bobby Deol, Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju and other actors in important roles,

Rajpal Yadav: ‘Sir Kya Karoon, Paise Nhi Hain…’ Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Actor Had THIS Sad Response Before Surrendering In Cheque Bounce Case

Rajpal Yadav Sad Response On Check Bounce C ase

Actor Rajpal Yadav, known for his popular comic roles and last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, is in the news for a serious legal setback. On Thursday, the actor surrendered at Delhi’s Tihar Jail after a court order in a long-running cheque bounce case. The case is linked to his 2010 directorial film Ata Pata Laapata.

The development came after the Delhi High Court rejected Rajpal Yadav’s final plea for more time to arrange money. With no relief granted, the court asked him to surrender immediately. This marked the end of a legal battle that had followed the actor for more than a decade, ever since the film failed at the box office.

Rajpal Yadav Breaks Down Before Surrender

Just before surrendering, Rajpal Yadav appeared emotionally shaken. According to reports, the actor struggled to control his emotions while speaking about his financial condition and loneliness during the crisis.

As quoted by News X, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actor said, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain. Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta… Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain. There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own. (Sir, what should I do? I don’t have the money. I see no other way… Sir, here we are all alone.)”

The statement quickly went viral on social media. Many users expressed sympathy for the actor, while others pointed out that the case had been pending for several years.

Rajpal Yadav’s Cheque Bounce Case Explained

The Rajpal Yadav cheque bounce case dates back to 2010. The actor borrowed Rs 5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to finance Ata Pata Laapata. The film marked his debut as a director but failed to impress audiences and underperformed at the box office.

After the losses, Rajpal Yadav reportedly faced serious financial trouble. He issued several cheques to repay the loan. However, these cheques bounced, leading the production house to file a case under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

In April 2018, a Magistrate’s Court convicted Rajpal Yadav and his wife under Section 138 of the Act. Both were sentenced to six months in jail. Although the actor challenged the verdict and moved to higher courts, the case continued for years. During this time, interest and penalties reportedly pushed the total outstanding amount to nearly Rs 9 crore.

Rajpal did repay some of the amount over time, including Rs 75 lakh in 2025. Despite this, the court observed repeated delays and missed deadlines. The judiciary also noted a “lack of seriousness” in resolving the issue.

On February 4, 2026, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma rejected Rajpal Yadav’s final request for a one-week extension. The court stated that repeated leniency could not be allowed, regardless of a person’s public image, and ordered the actor to surrender without further delay.

Talking about his work front, Rajpal Yadav will appear in Akshay Kumar’s upcoming films like Bhooth Bangla and Welcome To The Jungle.

Punjab Govt approves Punjab Cricket League to channel youth towards sports, away from drugs: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann

Determined to confront Punjab’s drug crisis by reclaiming its sporting legacy, the Bhagwant Mann Government on Monday approved the launch of the Punjab Cricket League (PCL), positioning sports as a strategic intervention for youth empowerment rather than a token outreach programme.

Planned on the Indian Premier League (IPL) model with district and regional teams and backed by institutional partnerships with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA), the league is intended to systematically identify, groom and channel young talent into professional pathways, while simultaneously building a wider ecosystem of district- and state-level leagues across multiple sports to pull the state’s youth decisively away from drugs and towards discipline, opportunity and national representation.

Sharing a few snippets from the following meeting, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann wrote: “Today in Chandigarh, held a meeting with senior officials of the Department of Sports and Youth Services to discuss various issues, with a focused deliberation on promoting sports culture across the state. All officials were directed to make their maximum contribution towards encouraging youth to take up sports, with the objective of building a healthy and fit society. The government is consistently working to restore sports culture in Punjab and to reconnect the youth with playgrounds across the state.”

Chairing a review meeting of the Sports Department, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated that the state government would tie up with the Punjab Cricket Association and the Board of Control for Cricket in India to organise the league with the objective of grooming young talent from across Punjab. “The state government will collaborate with the Punjab Cricket Association and the Board of Control for Cricket in India to organise the Punjab Cricket League for grooming the youth of the state,” Bhagwant Singh Mann said.

Drawing inspiration from global examples, the Chief Minister stated that such initiatives had played a transformative role in world cricket. “Cricketers like Imran Khan and Arjuna Ranatunge gave several renowned players to world cricket through similar initiatives, and this league will go a long way in emerging Punjab as a nursery of cricketing talent,” he said.

Explaining the structure of the proposed league, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it would be organised on the lines of the Indian Premier League, with teams constituted on the basis of districts and geographical regions. “The Punjab Cricket League will be organised on the lines of the Indian Premier League, and teams will be formed on the basis of districts and geographical regions such as Majha, Doaba and Malwa to compete in the tournament,” he said.

The Chief Minister said that the initiative would help create a strong pipeline of talented cricketers for both national and international competitions. “This league will help in producing a talented pool of cricketers for national and international level cricket tournaments,” CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said.

At the same time, he underlined the need to promote other sports across the state. “District-level and state-level leagues should also be organised for games like Volleyball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, Kho kho and Kabaddi,” the Chief Minister said, adding that the Punjab government was working on an aggressive campaign to produce the maximum number of trained sportspersons. “Our aim is to ensure that more Punjabi players represent India in international sporting events,” he said.

Emphasising Punjab’s rich sporting legacy, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the state has abundant sports talent and the government is fully committed to nurturing it. “Punjab has immense sports talent, and the state government will not leave any stone unturned to enable players to participate and win medals for India at the international level,” he said.

He said that sports provide a powerful avenue for the youth to excel and bring laurels to the state. “Games give our youth the opportunity to excel in sports and bring pride to Punjab,” Bhagwant Singh Mann said, asserting that the government is determined to restore the state’s pristine glory in the field of sports. “The state government is committed to reviving Punjab’s glory in sports, and no stone is being left unturned to achieve this goal,” he added.
