Barun Sobti reprises his role as Assistant Sub-Inspector Amarpal Jasjit Singh, popularly known as Garundi, in the next installment. He leaves behind Jagrana and has been transferred to Dalerpura Police Station, where he works under a new commanding officer, Dhanwant Kaur, played by Mona Singh.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Talking about the series, showrunner and director of <i>Kohrra 2</i>, Sudip Sharma, said, "It’s quite exciting to be back. Season 1 allowed us to explore quieter tensions between people, between past and present. This season as well, we’ve tried to bring forth as authentic a portrayal of Punjab as possible, with the characters rooted in a universal reality we’ve seen play out across the country. The show's an emotional roller-coaster. Barun and Mona have done a fantastic job, and I can’t wait for people to see it for themselves."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/why-did-javed-akhtar-refuse-to-write-songs-for-border-2-lyricist-reveals-the-real-reason-1768888426418"><strong>Why did Javed Akhtar refuse to write songs for Border 2?</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Echoing the sentiment, Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India shared, "Kohrra is our cult classic which won many awards, love and accolades from audiences and critics. What makes it unique is its honest simplicity, the unassuming backgrounds that expose deep layers of complexity as the fog lifts episode on episode. Set in a new city against the backdrop of a new crime and new partnership, S02 is even more riveting. I completely credit the expert craftsmanship of Sudip Sharma, who is not only the creator &amp; showrunner, but is also making his directorial debut with S2.

<h2>Jana Nayagan censor controversy</h2><p>The highly anticipated gripping thriller, Jana Nayagan, featuring Vijay Thalapathy, Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and many others, is facing a censor issue requiring a film certificate (U/A 16+) that led to a release delay by India's CBFC. The producers have taken this to the Madras High Court, leading to more legal battles and postponements.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/vijay-s-jana-nayagan-film-release-in-limbo-court-battle-to-resume-on-jan-20th-1768459180361"><strong>Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' film release in limbo; court battle to resume on Jan 20th</strong></a></p>

Without naming the individual, the actress revealed how disturbing the experience was for a newcomer in the film industry who is trying to find a footing. She admitted that at the time, she chose silence over confrontation, fearing backlash and professional consequences. Hegde shared her extreme excitement after she was offered a big-budget pan-India film early in her career.

Akshay Kumar to reunite with Anees Bazmee, Vidya Balan for a comedy film? Here's what we know

<p>Amid the recent communal controversy, AR Rahman once again grabbed attention for stating that winning an Oscar is a burden. The Indian composer and singer revealed that receiving the prestigious accolade led to immense pressure and constant stress. He also spoke about being gaslit by the people into doubting his own work, even after achieving so much success.</p><h2>AR Rahman on winning two Oscars&nbsp;</h2><p>While many artists wait decades to receive such global recognition, Rahman surprised many by revealing how awards can negatively impact one's life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Rahman stated, “For the past six years, to be frank, when people come to you, the ’90s generation has a certain nostalgia and a certain affinity towards your music. The same goes for those born in 2000s, and so on for those from the next decade. They come and gaslight you. They say, In the ’90s, you did Roja (1992). That’s very good music, sir!’ That feels like now, you’re not doing good music, right? It actually harms your thinking if you’re not in your best mood."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/new-ott-releases-this-week-january-19-25-2026-steal-tere-ishk-mein-afterburn-7-new-movies-and-shows-coming-on-netflix-prime-video-and-more-1768718794464"><strong>New OTT Releases this week (January 19-25, 2026): 7 new movies and shows on OTT</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He further added, “I love that stuff, but within me, I need to get my self-esteem and confidence back, and prove myself. What I’m doing next is going to be the best thing. Not rely on the past, and be like, ‘Oh, I've won 2 Oscars.’ That thought drains you. You’re not motivated to do anything, It can be a burden. It’s not in my Twitter or Instagram bio, no Oscar, no Grammy, nothing. It’s a fresh start, 2026.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Oscar-winning composer admitted that his historic Academy Award win brought an unexpected weight in his life. Netizens were left in shock after Rahman described the honour as a burden, but he also explained that global recognition brought intense yet unrealistic expectations. While the accolade elevated his status internationally, it also created pressure on the artist to constantly outperform himself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/allu-arjun-shares-a-heartwarming-moment-with-an-emotional-fan-as-pushpa-2-releases-in-japan-1768735056884"><strong>Allu Arjun shares a heartwarming moment that leaves a fan overwhelmed in Japan</strong></a></p><h2>AR Rahman's 'communal thing' controversy</h2><p>Rahman has recently been in a controversy following a remark made by him during an interview with BBC Asian Network, where he stated that a reduction in his Bollywood work over the past eight years might be due to a "communal thing."

<h2>Upcoming projects of AR Rahman</h2><p>Besides the heated controversies, AR Rahman, the legendary artist, continues to bring his esteemed music and sensational voice to several upcoming projects. After achieving popularity in his recent projects in <i>Amar Singh Chamkila</i> (2024), <i>Chhaava </i>(2025), and <i>Tere Ishq Mein</i> (2025), the music maestro is heavily involved in various big cultural collabs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rahman has opened up on working with the legendary composer Hans Zimmer and lyricist Dr Kumar Vishwas for Nitesh Tiwari's <i>Ramayana</i>, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi.&nbsp;</p>

Amid discussions about communal things and shifting power dynamics, AR Rahman stated that winning two Oscars can feel like a burden and has compelled him to prove himself repeatedly. Here's what we know. 

Amid the recent communal controversy, AR Rahman once again grabbed attention for stating that winning an Oscar is a burden. The Indian composer and singer revealed that receiving the prestigious accolade led to immense pressure and constant stress. He also spoke about being gaslit by the people into doubting his own work, even after achieving so much success. AR Rahman on winning two Oscars While many artists wait decades to receive such global recognition, Rahman surprised many by revealing how awards can negatively impact one's life. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Rahman stated, “For the past six years, to be frank, when people come to you, the ’90s generation has a certain nostalgia and a certain affinity towards your music. The same goes for those born in 2000s, and so on for those from the next decade. They come and gaslight you. They say, In the ’90s, you did Roja (1992). That’s very good music, sir!’ That feels like now, you’re not doing good music, right? It actually harms your thinking if you’re not in your best mood."

What I’m doing next is going to be the best thing. Not rely on the past, and be like, ‘Oh, I've won 2 Oscars.’ That thought drains you. You’re not motivated to do anything, It can be a burden. It’s not in my Twitter or Instagram bio, no Oscar, no Grammy, nothing. It’s a fresh start, 2026.” The Oscar-winning composer admitted that his historic Academy Award win brought an unexpected weight in his life. Netizens were left in shock after Rahman described the honour as a burden, but he also explained that global recognition brought intense yet unrealistic expectations. While the accolade elevated his status internationally, it also created pressure on the artist to constantly outperform himself.
