"It’s one of the most amazing roles I’ve been offered because it’s such a sympathetic character. In my head, I get to play an Indian version of a blind samurai. How cool is that? He’s blind, but he’s specially-abled. He can somehow sense things, fight, catch a ball, and protect a young girl. It was fascinating to find the physicality of that without making it look exaggerated," he said during a recent interview.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/akshay-kumar-reveals-why-he-regrets-doing-multiple-action-films-felt-like-slapping-myself-1782287809996"><strong>Akshay Kumar reveals why he regrets doing multiple action films</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The actor also spoke about his experience collaborating with Priyadarshan. "It was something completely new for me. More importantly, it’s a character written for the audience to genuinely feel for, which I haven’t really had much of, for whatever reason. I’m really happy I got this role. Working with Priyadarshan sir was amazing. It reminded me of Clint Eastwood. Very economical and absolutely sure of what he wanted. We rarely did more than one take. I like doing a few takes, but you adapt to whoever you’re working with. It was interesting to be completely ready for that very first take, and somehow it really worked," he added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-housefull-to-omg-revisiting-akshay-kumar-s-biggest-franchise-hits-1783611271058"><strong> From Housefull to OMG: Revisiting Akshay Kumar's biggest franchise hits</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

The upcoming suspense thriller also features Boman Irani, Saiyami Kher and Shriya Pilgaonkar in key roles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn under the banners of KVN Productions and Thespian Films, Priyadarshan's film is expected to be a mix of crime, mystery and action.

After a long wait, the makers of Haiwaan have announced the release date of the teaser. Starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, the film is directed by Priyadarshan.

The wait for Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan's Haiwaan is finally over. After creating a buzz with the film's first look, the makers have now announced the teaser release date. The preview is all set to arrive tomorrow, and the news was shared alongside two new posters. Haiwaan teaser release date The teaser will be unveiled on August 12 to give a glimpse into the mysterious world of the thriller. The newly released posters highlight the film’s central theme of vengeance and the question of whether one stands with the “Hero” or the “Haiwaan.” Confirming the teaser release date, Akshay Kumar wrote, "Vengeance is my reason. Every sense is his weapon. Whose side are you on? Hero ya Haiwaan? #Haiwaan - Teaser Out Tomorrow."

Hero ya Haiwaan?” Saif Ali Khan on the film While the details about Haiwaan are still under wraps, Saif Ali Khan had previously offered some insight into his character. "It’s one of the most amazing roles I’ve been offered because it’s such a sympathetic character. In my head, I get to play an Indian version of a blind samurai. How cool is that? He’s blind, but he’s specially-abled. He can somehow sense things, fight, catch a ball, and protect a young girl. It was fascinating to find the physicality of that without making it look exaggerated," he said during a recent interview. Also Read: Akshay Kumar reveals why he regrets doing multiple action films The actor also spoke about his experience collaborating with Priyadarshan. "It was something completely new for me. More importantly, it’s a character written for the audience to genuinely feel for, which I haven’t really had much of, for whatever reason. I’m really happy I got this role. Working with Priyadarshan sir was amazing. It reminded me of Clint Eastwood. Very economical and absolutely sure of what he wanted. We rarely did more than one take. I like doing a few takes, but you adapt to whoever you’re working with. It was interesting to be completely ready for that very first take, and somehow it really worked," he added.

<h2>About Ranveer Singh's Don 3 exit</h2><p>Farhan Akhtar is set to bring back one of his most acclaimed action-thriller sagas, <i>Don</i>, with its third instalment. While the first two parts starred Shah Rukh Khan, the director picked Ranveer Singh for the upcoming adaptation. However, the buzz grew when Ranveer Singh exited Excel Entertainment's project in December 2025, just weeks before filming began. It is believed that the actor left the project after gaining massive popularity in Aditya Dhar's spy thriller <i>Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The controversy escalated when Farhan approached the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) regarding the matter, and the film body announced a non-cooperation move against the actor over his decision to leave Don 3, but they revoked the directive later. It was later clarified that Ranveer had not been banned. The actor reportedly issued a legal notice to the film body after the directive was announced. As of now, Ranveer has largely stayed silent on the matter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is believed that the actor's exit led Excel Entertainment to seek Rs 45 crore in damages to cover extensive pre-production losses, including travel, crew setup, and scheduling, while Ranveer has also been offered his initial signing amount, reportedly Rs 10 crore, in return.</p>

After months of ongoing controversy surrounding the highly anticipated project Don 3, Farhan Akhtar has reportedly commented on Ranveer Singh's exit, calling the last-minute decision a ‘pattern.’

Sharing that there was “one little period” of his life when he was having suicidal thoughts. “In that one little period, I just thought—I just couldn’t—just didn’t see a way out,” the F1 star explained. “The pain was so oppressive that—I wasn’t going to act on this, but I could feel—I could feel the cold steel of the bullet in my head, and it felt like relief.” He continued, “I thought, Oh, okay, now I understand—I understand suicide, in the sense that it’s just relief. It’s just looking for relief from the pain. But I also think we have incredible survival instincts. And for me, that immediately kicked in, but it was just . . .” Pitt added, “this s--- ain’t easy” before acknowledging his privilege. “And you’re talking to a guy who won the lottery.” When asked about the pain behind his suicidal thoughts, the actor admitted only "family stuff", without sharing exactly what he was going through. “We could leave it at that,” Pitt concluded. Pitt has rarely spoken about what's been going on in his personal life. In recent years, one by one, his children have filed legal petitions to drop Pitt from their names. Maddox, the eldest of Jolie and Pitt's six children, is the latest to take legal steps to drop his father's surname. In 2024, Vivienne dropped dad Pitt's last name and chose only to be mentioned with Jolie's surname in the playbill for The Outsiders, a Broadway show, in which she has worked with her mother. Even Angelina's older daughter, Zahara, opted for her mother's maiden name, as she also chose to drop Pitt. As of now, only Shiloh is the one who has dropped his father's name legally.

<p>Brad Pitt is no longer sober and has started drinking again. The actor, who has seen career highs in recent years, said he has been struggling personally with family issues.</p>

There is controversy brewing in Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA). On Monday, 8 of its Executive Committee members resigned with immediate effect from their positions, citing a loss of confidence in how the body was being run and demanding fresh elections. Hemant Pandey, Mukesh Rishi, Sahila Chadha, Hetal Parmar, Puneet Issar, Vindu Dara Singh, Vikas Verma and Deepak Parashar have resigned from the Executive Committee of CINTAA. Why have members of EC left CINTAA? Explaining their exit in a joint letter, members cited a persistent failure to follow constitutional rules, to consult properly, and to engage in shared decision-making. They further accused CINTAA President Poonam Dhillon, Senior Vice President Padmini Kolhapure, and a small faction of the executive committee of centralising power. “The President, Poonam Dhillon, has repeatedly taken unilateral decisions, issued official communications through her ID to government officials and unilaterally decided communications to industry bodies. Through the official CINTAA ID, she represented the Association in public and with other government, quasi-judicial and industry bodies without the knowledge, consultation, and/or approval of the Executive Committee, thereby nullifying the principle of collective responsibility,” an excerpt from the letter read. Also read: Govinda recalls Salman Khan’s emotional struggles during Partner In the letter, the resigning members alleged that several key decisions were being made without sufficient consultation with the Executive Committee and proper approval. They also claimed that Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure visited government offices accompanied by lawyers hired privately. The letter asserted that the attorneys in question were put forward as CINTAA’s legal counsel without proper authorisation from the Executive Committee, driving members to withdraw support for the current leadership. Confirming the rift, CINTAA General Secretary Upasana Singh told ANI that 11 members have resigned, with eight elected officials submitting written complaints detailing their reasons.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has renewed the interest of fans in not just Homer's original poem, which inspired the film, but also in the Greek island of Ithaca.

Standing on the ferry as it waits to dock on the Greek island of Ithaca, Giorgia Ongarato is only too keen to talk about the Odyssey -- the epic poem that inspired Christopher Nolan's blockbuster film The Odyssey. The Italian lawyer said it was her dream to come to Ithaca, widely believed to be the same island as the home of Odysseus in the poem. Dressed in a T-shirt emblazoned with the word Odyssey in ancient Greek alongside a line from the poem, she enthused: "I studied Greek when I was a child, and I studied the Odyssey." While she stressed that the film was not her entry point into the tale of the hero battling his way back home from the Trojan war, the 50-year-old said she was also a fan of the film -- describing it as "wonderful". The island's businesses and officials now expect the film to inspire many more to follow in her footsteps. Ithaca, in the Ionian Sea off the west coast of mainland Greece is far from the country's tourist hubs, and despite limpid waters and spectacular bays, it has never been a regular stop for travellers. Its interior is rugged, carpeted with olive and cypress trees, and strikingly calm even at the height of the tourist season. Although the movie has undoubtedly piqued the interest of many, it has also been slightly controversial in Greece -- although some Greek locations were used, not a single scene in the blockbuster was actually shot on Ithaca. Homeric monuments abound That decision has left some crestfallen on the island of roughly 3,000 inhabitants -- where the film has been shown twice in open-air screenings since its July 16 worldwide release. Xhimi Xoxha, who runs a restaurant in Ithaca's capital of Vathi, said he was content that the movie was already "generating publicity for the island". He predicted the positive effects would continue. While Ithaca mayor Dionysis Stanitsas agreed that the publicity was "tremendous", he could not hide his disappointment that the island itself did not feature. "We had reached out to the production team and asked that some scenes be filmed here on the island," he said. "Unfortunately, that wasn't feasible." He is, however, counting on rising demand next year, and the island was already fully booked for this season by the time the film came out. "As more people see it, they will begin planning trips to visit the island," he said. Visitors will not find a palace of Odysseus or any spectacular archaeological site likely to confirm the existence of the Homeric hero. But village squares and the town hall are dotted with statues of Odysseus and Homer. And there are other pointers to the island's rich literary heritage. In the small sun-drenched port, boats bob in the green water bearing names like "Telemachus" (son of Odysseus) and "Calypso" (a goddess and nymph who imprisoned him). Trinket shops offer busts of Homer and Penelope, Odysseus's wife. T-shirts can be found amid the jumble featuring the Cyclops Polyphemus -- one of the many monsters vanquished by Odysseus. And the truly devoted can splash out for a wall plate decorated with a Trojan Horse. Archaeologist Spyros Couvaras is among those expecting a dramatic upsurge in visitors, saying it was clear that visitors wanted more than just sand and sea -- they wanted the history and the mythology. None of those are in short supply here. A short distance from the shops and restaurants of the port, holidaymakers stretch out on deck chairs under parasols at Dexia beach, enveloped by the grating sound of cicadas. According to legend, this is where Odysseus landed after years of voyaging. Couvaras said the "driving force" of the renewed interest was undoubtedly the movie. "But behind Nolan's film stands Homer," he said.
