He filed the complaint in Miami. She accused the influencer of injecting &nbsp;Aqualyx, a fat-dissolving substance, into her face, and that too, without her consent. She also alleged that she had nonconsensual sexual encounters with the influencer at his family home in Cape Cod.</p>

Raaka earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for the ‘Most People Motion-Captured in Real-Time’, capturing 37 performers simultaneously in a single session—ranging from a 4-year-old child to a 70-year-old actor.

Raaka, the magnum opus starring Allu Arjun, directed by V Arunkumar (alias Atlee) and produced by Sun Pictures’ Mr Kalanithi Maran, has achieved a landmark feat in cinematic technology by earning a place in the Guinness World Records for the “Most People Motion-Captured in Real-Time.” The record was achieved with 37 performers captured simultaneously in real time, marking a significant technological milestone for Indian cinema. The record was achieved in February 2026, marking a significant milestone for the film. The achievement was certified on 15 September 2026, with the official Guinness World Records certificate being presented to the lead actor Allu Arjun & director V Arunkumar by Mr Swapnil Dangrikar, Senior Adjudicator, Guinness World Records, at an intimate ceremony attended by the film’s key cast and crew. Allu Arjun said, “We are extremely proud of this remarkable achievement, which pushes the boundaries of cinema and sets a new benchmark on a global scale. It is a proud moment for the entire team, and we are grateful to Guinness World Records for officially recognising this feat and honouring our efforts. This achievement would not have been possible without the vision and direction of my director, Mr Atlee, and the incredible work of the entire team. I would also like to thank Sun Pictures for their constant support and for backing a project of this scale and ambition. It is a truly special moment for all of us.” Director Atlee says, “Growing up, we always heard about Guinness World Records with so much wonder, never imagining that one day we would be blessed to achieve one ourselves. To receive this recognition for bringing 37 motion-capture assets together in a single shoot feels truly surreal and deeply humbling. For me, it is a reminder that when we dream big and work together with complete belief, sometimes the impossible becomes possible. With God’s grace, I’m deeply grateful to my entire team who believed in this dream and made this moment ours.” Raaka creates world record 37 performers—from a 4-year-old child to a 70-year-old—were captured simultaneously in real time during a single session.

A City Civil and Sessions Court in Bengaluru has issued an ex-parte ad interim injunction to stop the viral spread of false and defamatory content targeting the upcoming Nani-starrer film The Paradise. 

In a decisive legal action to safeguard film investments, the Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge in Bengaluru passed an ex-parte ad interim injunction on September 19 restraining the distribution of allegedly false and derogatory material against The Paradise. The plea was brought forward by Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas LLP, the production house backing Nani’s project, just days before its scheduled global theatrical release on September 24. According to a report by Live Law, the producer sought both a permanent and mandatory injunction alongside urgent interim relief. The petition emphasized that substantial funds had been funnelled into the production, marketing, and distribution of the film, directed by Srikanth Odela and featuring Nani in the lead role. The move comes a month after Toxic: A Fairytale of Grown Ups was subjected to online trolling from the day of its release. Targeted defamation vs fair criticism The producer submitted to the court that derogatory comments, targeted posts, and specific URLs began flooding social media platforms shortly after the film's official teaser dropped on August 6. The filing argued that the coordinated attacks went far beyond fair artistic critique, amounting to targeted commercial defamation intended to sabotage the film's box-office potential right before its theatrical debut. To prevent irreversible commercial harm, the producer requested the court to dispense with prior notice to the defendants. Advance warning, the plea argued, could prompt unidentified actors to delete, alter, or further disseminate the defamatory links across other networks.After reviewing the evidence, the court agreed that the producer had established a prima facie case. The judge observed that the material appeared designed to undermine the production's commercial value rather than provide standard artistic evaluation. The court further noted:"Unrestricted viral dissemination of the material immediately before the film's release could cause unquantifiable and irreversible economic and reputational damage."It concluded that the balance of convenience clearly favoured the film's production team. The court order restrains the defendants, their officers, agents, and any entities acting on their behalf from "hosting, publishing, transmitting, reproducing or making available the allegedly false and defamatory content specifically identified in the schedule to the plaint." The interim order is effective through the film's release up until the next formal hearing date on October 28, 2026. The producer has been instructed to serve copies of the plaint, supporting documents, application, and court order to the defendants in accordance with procedural rules. The Toxic example The preventative legal action taken by the makers of The Paradise highlights a growing industry response to online targeted campaigns—a phenomenon that recently impacted the theatrical run of the Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups. Released in August, Toxic posted a massive opening day of over Rs 100 crore globally, driven by high audience anticipation. However, the film immediately faced intense online scrutiny, heavy criticism over its narrative and adult content, and rapid negative word-of-mouth that contributed to a sharp drop in box-office collections from day two onward. By securing a preemptive injunction against unverified defamatory links prior to release, producers of films like The Paradise aim to prevent unvetted or malicious online campaigns from damaging a film's commercial trajectory before audiences have the opportunity to judge the project on its merits.
