Busan Film Festival: 10 Korean independent films selected for Korean Cinema Today section

Big win for Pornhub as a federal judge in Texas ruled that the law requiring pornography sites to institute age-verification measures is unconstitutional and violates the US Constitution’s First Amendment prohibition against free-speech restrictions. Free Speech Coalition had filed a lawsuit against the Texas legislation for the same and won today. This Coalition includes Pornhub’s parent company, adult industry advocacy groups and an adult performer.

<h2>What the age-verification law would have meant for pornography sites</h2>

The controversial Texas law would have gone into effect from September 1, 2023, and if not overturned would have required pornography sites to use “reasonable age verification methods” to “verify that an individual attempting to access the material is 18 years of age or older.” In addition, pornography sites would have been forced to display a “Texas Health and Human Services Warning” in at least 14-point font.&nbsp;One such warning was specified to read, “Pornography increases the demand for prostitution, child exploitation, and child pornography”.&nbsp;A national toll-free number for people with mental health disorders was also to be carried.

<h2>This is why the court found the law "unconstitutional"</h2>

The Texas law has been overturned as the judge presiding over the case ruled, “The court finds that H.B. 1181 is unconstitutional on its face. The Court agrees that the state has a legitimate goal in protecting children from sexually explicit material online. But that goal, however crucial, does not negate this court’s burden to ensure that the laws passed in its pursuit comport with established First Amendment doctrine. There are viable and constitutional means to achieve Texas’s goal, and nothing in this order prevents the state from pursuing those means.”

Meanwhile, at least five other US states have enacted similar age-verification laws aimed at blocking access to pornography sites: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah and Virginia.&nbsp;

Court rules in favour of Pornhub, calls Texas age-verification porn law 'unconstitutional'

Selena Gomez made a gaffe recently as she posted a video from her currently streaming Hulu series, Only Murders in the Building. Selena was called out by many fans as they thought she scabbed by posting stuff from her show even though the dual Hollywood strikes continue.&nbsp;

<h2>What is this controversial post about?</h2>

Many thought she broke SAG-AFTRA strike rules by posting about her work even though her peers and colleagues continue to refuse to work until members of SAG-AFTRA get their due from Hollywood studios. The post appeared to be a video from the set of the comedy show. Gomez tagged the official Instagram account for Only Murders in the Building in the caption for the video and added, “Missing and wanting.”&nbsp;

The post, as you would imagine, picked up with her fans instantly and garnered more than a million likes within a few hours. After the post stayed on her profile for some 15 hours, it was found deleted.&nbsp;

<img alt="Selena Gomez" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b207b8dd-9211-40c5-a9e8-7433f26edb5b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-08-31T113614.971.jpg" />

<h2>Does it constitute a rule break?</h2>

Meanwhile, the whole fuss around Selena's post is a result of SAG-AFTRA’s strike rules which prohibit members from promoting their work via press interviews or social media posts while the strike persists. In the video, Selena Gomez did not speak in the set video nor did she encourage followers to watch the show in the caption, but she did tag the official Only Murders in the Building account. Some are accounting for the tag as a breach of rules.&nbsp;

Only Murders in the Building's third season&nbsp;is currently streaming on Hulu.&nbsp;In the show, Selena Gomez stars opposite Steve Martin and Martin Short and plays Mabel Mora, a young artist with a knack for investigating murders in New York City. The show’s third season premiered on August 8 and runs through October 3 on Hulu.

So massive! Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan had a huge audio launch event for the film in Chennai and in what style. Fans went berserk as they got to see their favourite stars come together for the massive launch event that also featured Vijay Sethupathi. Both the actors engaged in some random banter that kept the audience entertained.&nbsp;

Directed by Atlee who is known for belting high-octane thrillers, Jawan has a lot of promise and fans have been excited for the film ever since it was announced.

<h2>Shah Rukh Khan kept it simple at the Jawan audio launch</h2>

At the Jawan audio launch, Shah Rukh Khan was seen wearing a white T-shirt with a black jacket and jeans. Announcing his entry, a voice echoed, "The moment we've all been waiting for!

Jimmy Kimmel was bored doing the same thing every week, so he decided to quit his show. He would have had his way if the dual Hollywood strikes hadn’t dampened his next move. Now that his famous ABC network’s late-night show is shut because of the strikes, he’s rethinking his decision to quit. Unable to work, Jimmy Kimmel has had a lot of time rethinking and it has changed his perspective. It’s like what they say, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder”.&nbsp;

In the first episode of Spotify’s Strike Force Five podcast, which went live on August 30, Jimmy Kimmel said, “I was very intent on retiring right around the time where the strike started. And now, I realize, Oh yeah, it’s kind of nice to work.” The podcast features a roundtable Zoom discussion with Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver.

After Jimmy made the revelation, Seth Meyers said, “Kimmel, c’mon, you are the Tom Brady of late night… You have feigned retirement.” But Kimmel insisted that he was serious about retiring: “I was serious, I was very, very serious.”&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the network recently announced a three-year renewal of Jimmy Kimmel’s deal in September 2022.&nbsp;

Remembering Princess Diana on her 26th death anniversary

With teleplays increasingly carving a distinct niche for themselves in mainstream entertainment, theatre is seeing an unmistakable resurgence. Technology and digitisation are not only helping in archiving and preserving classic and contemporary plays but also facilitating audience expansion. Zee Theatre, which has been archiving, producing, and presenting the best of Indian theatre since 2018, will now harness the power of a major OTT platform like ZEE5 to stream some of its most popular teleplays for a global audience.

This September, it will bring a selection of acclaimed teleplays to ZEE5, promising a compelling viewing experience to even those who have never experienced a live play. 
&nbsp; 
Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti

Shakespeare's timeless tales continue to captivate us, transcending generations through movies, stage productions, and teleplays. Akarsh Khurana's Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti takes a delightful twist, infusing Shakespeare's comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, with a nostalgic 90s flavour. Starring Prajakta Koli, Shikha Talsania, Chaitanya Sharma, and Adhaar Khurana, the teleplay spins the humorous saga of Lakshman, who can't marry his beloved Priya until her headstrong sister, Pallavi, finds a husband. Lakshman concocts clever schemes, but a surprise twist awaits when his father discovers the plot.

Brimming with situational comedy, Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti&nbsp;will grace your screens on ZEE5 from September 1, 2023.&nbsp;

Ladies Sangeet

Playwright Purva Naresh's Ladies Sangeet&nbsp;is a modern masterpiece that delves into intricate themes—marriage's relevance, the evolution of human relationships, traditional vs. modern dynamics, and gender stereotypes—all set against the backdrop of an extravagant wedding. The story follows bride-to-be Radha, contemplating her marriage to Siddharth in her ancestral home. While her family dreams of a Bollywood-style spectacle, Radha questions the very institution of marriage. The teleplay also explores how parental influence can stifle individuality. Purva Naresh's signature use of music adds depth to the narrative.

Directed by Suman Mukhopadhyay and featuring Joy Sengupta, Nidhi Singh, Siddhant Karnick, Loveleen Mishra, Harsh Khurana, and Sarika Singh, Ladies Sangeet&nbsp;debuts on ZEE5 on September 1.

Yaar Julahay

Prepare for a literary odyssey like no other with this anthology of dramatic readings. Yaar Julahay&nbsp;showcases 12 classic stories by eminent subcontinental writers, including Gulzar, Amrita Pritam, Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, and more. From Garrm Coat, Nazzarah Darmiyan Hai, Mughal Bachcha, Sunset Boulevard, Dus Paise to Apna Apna Karz, Shatranj ki Baazi, Mukarji Babu ki Diary, Yeh Pari Chehra Log, Jagga, Kaaga Tantra, Ghusal Khana and Cocoon,&nbsp;these evocative tales explore the rich tapestry of the human condition.

Directed by Kanwal Khoosat and Sarmad Sultan Khoosat, this anthology boasts a star-studded cast, including Mahira Khan, Nimra Bucha, Farhat Gillani, Irfan Khoosat, Sarmad Sultan Khoosat, Samiya Mumtaz, Faysal Qureshi, Yasra Rizvi and Sania Saeed.

Get ready for theatrical brilliance with Zee Theatre's teleplays on ZEE5 this month

The Venice Film Festival kickstarted today (August 30) but with no star power to back up the red-carpet glam. The film festival opted to open with the World War II drama Comandante by young Italian auteur Edoardo De Angelis instead of Zendaya-led Challengers by Luca Guadagnino. The latter was supposed to open the 80th annual Venice Film Festival, but owing to SAG-AFTRA strikes, another film was picked for the opening day.&nbsp;

Comandante is mostly set on a submarine. The film got a brief 90-second standing ovation as actor Pierfrancesco Favino who plays naval officer Salvatore Todaro took a bow.

<h2>No stars at Venice Film Festival on opening day</h2>

The Venice Film Festival looked rather dull with no stars gracing the red carpet. That also affected the crowds outside the event’s entrance. The biggest cheers went to Damien Chazelle, who is presiding over the Venice jury. During the day’s first press conference, Chazelle and fellow juror Martin McDonagh expressed support for the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes in Hollywood, sporting a Writers Guild on Strike shirt and pin.

Meanwhile, Venice Film Festival chief Alberto Barbera emphasised that despite no actors being allowed to do promotional campaigns for their films as part of SAG-AFTRA rules, we will get to see actors like Adam Driver attend the festival for his upcoming film Ferrari. There will also be Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi for Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, Caleb Landry Jones for Luc Besson’s Dogman and Jessica Chastain for Mexican auteur Michel Franco’s Memory. These films will all be screened at the festival on separate days. These movies have been allowed to rope in actors for promotions as these are indie movies.&nbsp;

Venice Film Festival switches Zendaya's Challengers for Comandante for opening day

Shah Rukh Khan has pulled out all his cards for this one as the makers released the&nbsp;Jawan trailer&nbsp;days before the film’s theatrical release. Directed by Atlee and slated for a September 7 release, Jawan promises to be a family entertainer with everything – action, drama, romance, thriller, comedy, and anything else that you can think of. The&nbsp;Jawan trailer was released today as fans got a hold of what the film is about – an army personnel's father, an anti-hero (Vijay Sethupathi) who is the world’s 4th largest weapons dealer, some kickass romance with Nayanthara and all of this interspersed with a train hijack that cops are trying to get a breakthrough in.&nbsp;

<h2>Some things we love in Jawan trailer</h2>

We can’t get over Shah Rukh Khan’s dance inside&nbsp;the train. A bald SRK with a gun in his hand, trying to calm down those kidnapped within the train as he converses with the police who engage with him to understand his weaknesses – Jawan trailer promises the film to be a potboiler if you must! In the same sequence, when asked what he wants in return for those kept hostage, he is heard saying, "Alia Bhatt".&nbsp;

Jawan trailer: Multiple Shah Rukh Khans want a lot of things in this crazy potboiler| WATCH

Looks like everything is finally getting better between Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan. The two actors had a fall out post their film, Darr. Sunny apparently had an issue with the climax, how his character meets his ending at the hands of Shah Rukh Khan’s character. Ever since, we have never seen the two socialise. Now that there are decades between that film and now, Shah Rukh Khan was seen giving a shoutout to Sunny’s recent film, Gadar 2.&nbsp;

Gadar 2 has been breaking all kinds of records and has managed to stand on its own at the box office. During an Ask SRK session that Shah Rukh Khan engages in on the microblogging platform X (previously known as Twitter), when someone asked, if he’s seen Gadar 2, Shah Rukh Khan eagerly replied, “Yeah loved it.”

Also, Sunny Deol recently revealed that Shah Rukh Khan called to congratulate him for Gadar 2's success. Sunny Deol was quoted, "He had seen this film and before that, he called me up and wished me and he was so happy, he told me I am so happy, you genuinely deserve it and I said thank you." He added, "I spoke to his wife and son and he said that tonight we're going to watch the film. And I said great. And I think after that he has seen it and tweeted about it."

Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol worked together in the 1993 hit Darr. After their fallout, they were barely ever seen mingling and socialising. When asked how his equation with SRK has changed over the time, Sunny Deol replied, "Of the past issues or whatever they were, I say, time heals everything and we move ahead. That's how it should be."

From foes to friends? Shah Rukh Khan gives shoutout to Sunny Deol's Gadar 2

It was an extremely tough time for Pakistani actress Mahira Khan when she was photographed on the streets of London, smoking with Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor. The pictures from 2017 became a massive deal back then with fans slamming her for her choice of outfit and smoking in public. At the time, Mahira, who is usually seen in modest ethnic outfits was pictured wearing a skimpy backless white dress. Opening up about what that 2017 episode did to her mental health, Mahira said that it took her to a dark place.&nbsp;

Talking to FWhy Podcast, Mahira Khan said that her mental health went downhill after she worked in the Hindi film industry opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Raees. It was the same year when she was pictured with Ranbir Kapoor and the photos went viral. The Raees actress said, "That (backlash) brought out the anxiety and depression hidden inside me. That was a hard time for me. I felt attacked. The constant backlash… You are getting mean tweets, and comments on their channels (Indian channels). That was a time my faith broke and I developed severe anxiety to the point that one day I had a panic attack and fainted. That was the first time I went to therapy. But that didn't work out, as I went to several therapists... that year was rough... I couldn't sleep, my hands used to shake."

Mahira also spoke about the 2016 Uri attack in India that Pakistan was pinned the blame for. That incident led to Pakistani artists being banned from working in Bollywood. She said, "I had finished the film (Raees) and everything was going fine and then suddenly this attack (Uri attack) happens. Politically everything gets messed up. With India, it is always political. But the fact that it could get this messy! I was not scared, but I was threatened. Constant tweets I would get calls, and very scary ones. The only thing I wanted was that 'Okay fine I can't go to India to promote it (Raees), but I hope it releases in my country because I knew people would rush to watch it as he (Shah Rukh Khan) is loved here (in Pakistan)."

Meanwhile, Mahira Khan will be seen in Netfix’s first Pakistan-themed original titled Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo. The project will also feature Pakistani heartthrobs Fawad Khan, and Sanam Saeed. The trio is set to headline the series. The series is an official adaptation of Farhat Ishtiaq's bestselling 2013 Urdu-language novel of the same name. The story revolves around Sikandar, a Harvard law student, who keeps himself aloof after an incident takes a toll on his life. Sikandar meets Liza, an artist with a troubled past, in Italy.
