<p>The wait is finally over! ZEE5’s much-awaited series, <em>Duranga</em> announced its comeback with a second season. The makers dropped a motion poster of <em>Duranga</em> that puts Amit Sadh and Gulshan Devaiah’s characters opposite one another.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Duranga</em> is an official adaptation of the Korean show, <em>Flower of Evil.</em> <em>Duranga</em> S1 went on to become a much-loved romantic thriller series. It kept the audiences hooked to their screens with the constant twists and turns. Now the second season will see the return of Gulshan Devaiah, Drashti Dhami, Barkha Sen Gupta, Rajesh Khattar reprising their respective roles and it will see Amit Sadh play a critical lead role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Produced by Goldie Behl’s Rose Audio Visuals and directed by Rohan Sippy, <em>Duranga</em> S2 will witness the real Sammit Patel wake up from coma and go after Abhishek Banne who has been living as Sammit Patel. Amit Sadh will be seen portraying a critical role, challenging Gulshan Devaiah to put everything at stake to protect his family. These three central characters' aims will collide during this season and keep the viewers on the edge of their seats.</p>

<p>Producer Goldie Behl said, “I am grateful for the overwhelming reaction to season 1 of <em>Duranga</em>. I am even more excited for season 2 which is sharper, stronger and has far more twists and turns. Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger where we saw the character of Amit Sadh coming out of a coma. Season 2 takes off from there but in a far more complex and entertaining manner. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with Rohan Sippy, Drashti Dhami, Gulshan Devaiah and Amit Sadh; all brilliant at their craft. A heartfelt thank you to ZEE5 and Nimisha Pandey who have been excellent to work with. I cannot wait for the audience to savour this season”.</p>

<p>Director Rohan Sippy said, “I’m very thankful that I got an opportunity to work once again with Rose &amp; ZEE5, this time to take a successful franchise like <em>Duranga</em> forward. The cast and crew have worked very hard in all departments to add even more excitement and emotional engagement this time around, and we can’t wait to share it with the audience very soon!"</p>

Percy Jackson and the Olympians series trailer out: Welcome back to Camp Half-Blood

<p>Russell Brand has found himself in the middle of a raging controversy after some serious criminal allegations were levelled against him over the weekend. Three British news organisations have published an investigation over the last weekend after four women accused him of sexual assault. While the actor and standup comedian has dismissed these claims and said that all of his relationships have been consensual, there is more than what meets the eye, or so it seems.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How it all started</strong></h2>

<p>Russell Brand has a notorious past – unpredictable, promiscuous, and a bit all over the place, the actor has always been in the news for his personal failings like that of over-use of drugs or alcohol or not always being very articulate in public or sleeping with nine women at a time (yes, he’s admitted that it has happened at one point in his life). Known for his signature bohemian style of clothing, cocky style of humour, and sex addiction, Russell Brand comes with a lot of baggage and definitely not one that is pleasing to the eye.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So when an investigation began on a series of alleged incidents dating from 2006 to 2013, netizens found themselves at odds with what to believe.</p>

<p>The investigation is a collaboration by The Sunday Times and The Times of London newspapers, and Channel 4 Dispatches, a television programme that broadcast a documentary about the allegations on September 16. They reported that the women had accused Russell Brand of sexual assault in a series of incidents between the years 2006 and 2013.</p>

<h2><strong>Russell Brand denies any wrongdoing</strong></h2>

<p>The actor and a former TV host has recently built a significant following on his YouTube channel, where he often talks about wellness and interviews prominent public figures.</p>

<p>He released a short video on social media on September 15 in which he said he had received notes from media organisations listing “a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks.”</p>

<p>In the video, Russell can be heard saying, “Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute. He added that while that was a “time of promiscuity” in his life, the encounters during that time were “always consensual.”</p>

<p>While in the video in his defence&nbsp;he did not get into the details of the accusations, he did say that there were “witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives” that had been put forward to him by the news organisations.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Tip of the iceberg?</strong></h2>

<p>People associated with the actor have already started cutting ties with him.</p>

<p>His literary agency, Tavistock Wood, announced this weekend that it had severed ties with him, saying in a statement that it believed it had been “horribly misled” by him when he denied an allegation in 2020.</p>

<p>The allegations were published as Russell Brand was on a short stand-up tour.</p>

<p>At a show in London last weekend, he opened the evening and sort of hinted at the allegations.</p>

<p>He said, “I’ve got a lot of things to talk to you about. There are obviously some things that I absolutely cannot talk about and I appreciate that you will understand.”&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-russell-brand-dropped-by-talent-agency-after-sexual-assault-allegations-636896">Actor Russell Brand dropped by talent agency after sexual assault allegations</a></p>

<p>Also, in the middle of the investigation, an old interview of his ex-wife Katy Perry has resurfaced that people think is evidence of his wrongdoings.</p>

<p>In the interview, Katy spoke about the time she fell in love with Russell Brand and got married to him in India after a whirlwind affair but then got a text from him asking for separation.</p>

<p>This was only after 14 months of being together. Katy looked back at their time with fondness and revealed that she found herself to blame for the breakup but eventually moved on when she remembered that she knew his “real truth”. &nbsp;</p>

<p>She said, "I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can’t necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go and I was like, ‘This isn’t because of me; this is beyond me.’ So I have moved on from that."&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/sex-assault-case-netizens-think-katy-perry-hinted-at-russell-brands-real-truth-in-this-2013-interview-637024">Netizens think Katy Perry hinted at Russell Brand's 'real truth' in this 2013 interview</a></p>

<h2><strong>What we know of the investigation</strong></h2>

<p>In the investigation, one woman accused Russell Brand of raping her against a wall in his Los Angeles home in 2012.</p>

<p>According to the various reports, the woman had provided medical records confirming that she had been treated at a rape crisis centre.</p>

<p>Another woman accused him of forcing her to perform oral sex on him when she was 16, despite her pushing him away. These women have detailed their experiences in quite detail. This, in turn, has led to an investigation into the whole matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The investigation also included complaints about Russell Brand’s workplace behaviour, including from unnamed production workers from Channel 4.</p>

<p>They said that he would ask staff members to approach female audience members so he could arrange to meet them after filming, according to the reports.</p>

<p>Channel 4 and BBC have said in statements that they are investigating allegations against Brand from the periods when he worked at their companies.</p>

<p>The Metropolitan Police in London released a statement in response to the article, saying that the department had been in touch with the journalists behind the story, and it encouraged any victims of sexual assault to report it to them.</p>

<p>Russell Brand has stayed away from trouble for some time now but it's not very long ago when he commented on MeToo when the entertainment industries in the world, especially Hollywood, saw its fair share of high-profile celebrities being found guilty of sexual abuse.</p>

<p>A known sex addict who battled with addictions to drugs and alcohol, Russell Brand built himself from nothing to a standup comedian who can take a joke or two on himself.</p>

<p>He went on to write a memoir on these things in 2005 and broke into popular culture with a role in <em>Forgetting Sarah Marshall </em>in 2008 and a remake of<em> Arthur</em> in 2011.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Morocco has selected Asmae El Moudir’s documentary film <em>The Mother of All Lies</em> as its official entry for the upcoming Oscars in the International Feature Film category. The film received massive appreciation from those who watched it at Cannes after it launched in May at the festival in the Cannes Un Certain Regard section.</p>

<h2><strong>The Mother of All Lies plot</strong></h2>

<p>The film&nbsp;<em>The Mother of All Lies</em> starts with El Moudir wanting to know why she has only one photograph from her childhood, and why the girl in the picture isn’t even her. To get to the bottom of it, El Moudir and her father build a miniature set that recreates their neighbourhood, and bring the whole family to the soundstage where it is built. The woman then starts to ask questions from her friends and family, make relatives relive her childhood, narrate stories from the past and unravel the truth.

Katy Perry sells music rights for $225 million: Report

<p>It’s not every day you get to romance Kareena Kapoor. For Vijay Varma, it was a dream come true but it came with its pitstops. While talking about their recent project together, when Vijay was asked about his experience working with Kareena Kapoor in <em>Jaane Jaan,</em> Vijay couldn’t stop gushing about her. He said that Kareena is a very “secure” actor while she complimented both Vijay and Jaideep Ahlawat for their “improvisation skills”.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Kareena is a fab actor, says Vijay</strong></h2>

<p>In a conversation with Shehnaaz Gill, the <em>Gully Boy </em>actor said that Kareena is “fab” and “secure”. He said, “We have seen her films, blown whistles, being enamoured by her. And when someone you like, likes your work… it’s a little embarrassing but you do enjoy the compliments.”</p>

<p>Shehnaaz then prodded Vijay on the compliments she showered on Jaideep and him to which Vijay replied, “Yeh unka badappan hai (That’s her generosity) that she spoke about me and Jaideep this way. It was really not needed from her. To put us on a pedestal… it did feel good.”</p>

<h2><strong>Vijay on doing a romantic scene with Kareena</strong></h2>

<p>On his romantic scene with Kareena, Vijay revealed, “There is a scene, where she’s looking at me in a certain way, and she’s singing. Jaise woh scene aaya, mere toh paseene chutt gaye. Aap nahi handle kar sakte (As soon as that scene came, I was a bundle of nerves. You cannot handle it).”</p>

<p>Vijay called Kareena “extremely charismatic” and said, “She is very beautiful when she performs. She knows that adaayein hai unke paas (she has that poise and charm).”</p>

<p>Kareena Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Vijay Varma will soon be seen together for the first time in <em>Jaane Jaan</em>. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, <em>Jaane Jaan</em> is set to drop on Netflix on September 21 and will mark Kareena’s OTT debut.

Parineeti Chopra, Raghav Chadha in Delhi to kickstart pre-wedding functions

<p>As a society, how many red flags do we need to see or hear&nbsp;before we take action?&nbsp;In a now-resurfaced Vogue 2013 interview, Russell Brand’s former partner Katy Perry hinted at the singer’s “controlling” and “hurtful” demeanour but we did nothing about it back then, not even a discussion that this could be more than just a dominant character trait.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now that sexual assault allegations against Russell Brand have emerged, netizens are going back to this magazine interview in which Katy hinted at the “real truth” about him. Katy Perry revealed that she was deeply in love with Russell Brand when they got married in India on October 23, 2010. However, their relationship lasted just 14 months, ending with a breakup text from him on New Year's Eve in 2011. Initially, the “Roar” singer blamed herself for the breakup, until she discovered what she calls the "real truth" about him.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-russell-brand-dropped-by-talent-agency-after-sexual-assault-allegations-636896">Actor Russell Brand dropped by talent agency after sexual assault allegations</a></p>

<p>When they started their romantic relationship, Katy said they were more like equal partners but she started witnessing visible changes in him as she took a more dominant role, especially when she was in charge during their tours. She then hinted at something and said, "I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can’t necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go and I was like, ‘This isn’t because of me; this is beyond me.’ So I have moved on from that."</p>

<p>Now that there are a multitude of sexual assault allegations against the singer, Katy Perry’s interview has found a lot of takers and people are connecting the dots saying that she knew this “truth” about him and wanted to not disclose it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, as for the sexual assault victims who have come forward, one of the accusers has claimed that she experienced an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship with Russell Brand when she was just 16, and he was 31. She alleged that <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/russell-brand-accused-of-rape-and-sexual-assault-by-four-women-report-636682">Russell Brand assaulted her</a> and repeatedly referred to her as a "child" during their romance.</p>

<p>After BTS members Jin and J-Hope, it’s time for Suga to get enlisted for his mandatory military service in the South Korean army. According to the country’s law, all men between the ages of 18 and 35 have to enlist for a period of 18 to 21 months if they are physically fit. Announcing that it's time for Suga, BIGHIT Music posted on the South Korean app Weverse that Suga will soon be starting service. In a statement, the agency posted, “We have further information regarding Suga’s military service. Suga will be beginning his required service on September 22.”</p>

<h2><strong>BTS members will now work together in 2025</strong></h2>

<p>Before all members got enlisted, their representatives noted last year that BTS members would soon have to pause work on their music and that they wouldn’t be able to perform together again until 2025, when all of them would have completed their mandatory service.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“There will not be any official events taking place on the day he starts his service or on the day he enters the training camp,” BIGHIT continued. “We kindly ask fans to refrain from visiting Suga at his workplace during the period of his service. Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts only.”</p>

<p><img alt="Suga" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f5aa6a17-aa98-40f7-8576-ec7012466296" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-09-18T101739.119.jpg" /></p>

<h2><strong>BTS' reps ask fans to not visit the enlisted members</strong></h2>

<p>They also added that no one should think of bringing gifts to Suga and said, “Please be mindful to avoid getting adversely affected by unauthorized tours or package products that illegally use the artist’s intellectual property. Our company will take appropriate measures against attempts at any commercial activity that make unauthorised use of artist IP.”</p>

<p>“We ask for your continued love and support for SUGA until he completes his service and returns. Our company will also strive to provide all the support he needs during this time,” the statement continued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Suga did a live stream with fans on Weverse as he told them to remain patient and wait for him. He said that he will be free post 2025 and they can expect great stuff from the K-pop group then.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for music, Suga released his solo album, D-DAY, under the name Agust D in April. He recently wrapped his Agust D-DAY tour.</p>
