<p>Indian actor Prithviraj Sukumaran to play Rajan Pillai in next. He will also direct the yet-to-be-titled series on the man who was popularly known as the “Biscuit Baron”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It will be produced by Yoodlee Films, the film production arm of Indian music giant Saregama. They have acquired the rights to the story from Rajan Pillai’s wife Nina.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajan Pillai, for the unversed, was born in Kerala in 1947 and had shifted to Singapore in the mid-1970s from where he managed important positions in biscuit companies like Nabisco, Huntley &amp; Palmer, Britannia among a few others. By 1993 however, Pillai was the subject of an investigation by Singapore’s Commercial Affairs Department. He returned to India in 1995, where he was jailed and died awaiting medical treatment.</p>

<p>The ‘Lucifer’ director, Prithviraj Sukumaran, on the project said, “The existence of light and darkness in human lives has always engaged me as an actor and director and this story has it all: ambition, success, a jet-setting lifestyle and then a hubris-induced fall that took a man from the zenith of corporate power to the depravity of a prison cell. All this at the age 47. Even though he passed away in 1995, his story serves as a relevant example on how the effects of success and power blur the line of morality, to this generation. It will be very interesting to discover what made this charismatic personality tick and to relive his intriguing, complex life.”</p>

UK fashion awards honour Virgil Abloh and other big-hitters

<p>As the world reels under a new threat -- COVID-19’s new variant called Omicron, we wonder if we’ve heard the name before and in what context!</p>

<p>Well, the name has been used as titles for films before. If you haven’t heard of the films then don’t blame yourself as these didn’t ever quite create a hype for themselves and before you jump the gun, they are not anywhere close to being based on a virus outbreak.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Omicron was used as film titles for two films produced in 1963 and 2013. The posters of these films have started trending on the internet now courtesy the new COVID variant that threatens the world.

<p>The 2013 movie Omicron is a comedy and science fiction. In the movie Omicron, an alien comes to Earth with a botanical virus and this virus threatens the whole world. A brave woman living in Arizona wins the alien with the plants in her garden and tries to overthrow the government.</p>

Was Omicron brought by an alien? Here's what we know of films with same name

<p>A new character is featured in the Land of Sweets in Pacific Northwest Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” this year: Green Tea Cricket, a springy, superherolike figure meant to counter stereotypes of Chinese culture.</p>

<p>Oklahoma's Tulsa Ballet, hoping to dispel outdated portrayals of Asians, is infusing its production with elements of martial arts, choreographed by a Chinese-born dancer.</p>

<p>And Boston Ballet is staging a new spectacle: a pas de deux inspired by traditional Chinese ribbon dancing.</p>

<p>“The Nutcracker,” the classic holiday ballet, is back after the long pandemic shutdown. But many dance companies are reworking the show this year partly in response to a wave of anti-Asian hate that intensified during the pandemic, and a broader reckoning over racial discrimination.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Everybody learned a lot this year, and I just want to make sure there’s absolutely nothing that could ever be considered as insulting to Chinese culture,” said Mikko Nissinen, artistic director of Boston Ballet, who choreographed the ribbon dance. “We look at everything through the lens of diversity, equity and inclusion.

<p>Artistic leaders are jettisoning elements such as bamboo hats and pointy finger movements, which are often on display during the so-called Tea scene in the second act, when dancers perform a short routine introducing tea from China.

<p>At least one company, Berlin State Ballet, has decided to forgo “Nutcracker” entirely this year amid growing concern about racist portrayals of Asians.

<p>Performers and activists have called on cultural institutions to feature more prominently Asian singers, dancers, choreographers and composers.

A new character is featured in the Land of Sweets in Pacific Northwest Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” this year: Green Tea Cricket, a springy, superherolike figure meant to counter stereotypes of Chinese culture.

A new character is featured in the Land of Sweets in Pacific Northwest Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” this year: Green Tea Cricket, a springy, superherolike figure meant to counter stereotypes of Chinese culture. Oklahoma's Tulsa Ballet, hoping to dispel outdated portrayals of Asians, is infusing its production with elements of martial arts, choreographed by a Chinese-born dancer. And Boston Ballet is staging a new spectacle: a pas de deux inspired by traditional Chinese ribbon dancing. “The Nutcracker,” the classic holiday ballet, is back after the long pandemic shutdown. But many dance companies are reworking the show this year partly in response to a wave of anti-Asian hate that intensified during the pandemic, and a broader reckoning over racial discrimination.
