I loved the idea behind the film and said yes to it right away! I have also been supporting young filmmakers who are starting their careers. Their enthusiasm and passion are inspiring, and they bravely experiment!”</p>

<p>Shot across Mumbai, London, and New York, Vir Das: Fool Volume is a deeply personal and unconventional comedy special born out of an unexpected challenge: Das losing his voice shortly before he was due to shoot the show. The experience led him to rewrite the special in silence and perform it largely without rehearsal, turning what began as a setback into the foundation for the special’s central themes of silence, happiness, foolishness and finding one’s voice.</p><h2>‘I literally lost my voice’</h2><p>Speaking about the nomination, Vir Das said, “There’s something wonderfully strange about being nominated for an International Emmy for a show called Fool Volume. This special came from a period when I literally lost my voice, so to see something that began in silence travel this far is pretty surreal. For India was the first time I understood that our comedy could find a home on a global stage, Landing gave me an Emmy, and now Fool Volume has brought me back into that conversation. I’m incredibly grateful to Netflix, my team, and everyone who helped make this very strange, very personal show. Three nominations is something I never imagined when we made the first one, so I’m just going to enjoy the fact that the fool keeps getting louder.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/happy-patel-khatarnak-jasoor-review-more-chaos-than-comedy-vir-das-s-spy-parody-is-a-messy-fever-dream-1768557135201"><strong>Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos review: More chaos than comedy?</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The third International Emmy nomination further cements Das’ position as one of India’s most internationally recognised stand-up comedians, with his work continuing to find audiences across borders and cultures.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the work front, Vir Das was last seen in the spy comedy film <i>Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos</i> alongside Mona Singh, Mithila Palkar, Imran Khan and many others and was co-produced by Aamir Khan Productions.</p>

He will be collaborating with director Madhur Bhandarkar on The Wives. Speaking about the same, the actor said,'"I've done a lot of Hindi films. One of my iconic films, which kind of gave me the platform, was Fashion with Madhur Bhandarkar. And now, we're collaborating again on a film called The Wives. Now, I know that a lot of people, when I come to Delhi, they ask me, tell me about the gossip in Bombay. So, I think the movie is coming, The Wives. You will get to know everything about it. And it should be out soon. It should be out in the next couple of months."

<p>Speaking candidly, he reflected on his journey in the industry and how the definition of success goes beyond fame. &nbsp;Starting his conversation, the actor called himself a "jack of all trades, master of none." &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Few forces create that understanding as naturally as travel. Tourism builds connections, creates empathy and brings cultures closer.”<br>Vinay Malhotra, Head, Strategic Global Partnerships, VFS Global spoke about how the company is helping in ease of travel: "For those who prefer that the visa centre comes to you, we coined the term VAD, or Visa at Your Doorstep. 20 governments in India currently subscribe to this facility. The end-to-end service is completed on the spot in about 30 minutes. Many governments today permit you to get a visa starting closer to the date when your travel is going to commence."<br>Addressing the gathering, Jyoti Mayal, CEO of Red Hat Communications and Chairperson of THSC, said: “What began as a simple idea to create meaningful dialogue has evolved into one of the industry's most respected forums for thought leadership, collaboration, and action. We meet at a defining moment for our industry. Artificial Intelligence will transform our industry, but hospitality will always remain a people-centric industry.”</p><h2>A global conversation on the future of travel</h2><p>The summit brought together an exceptional cross-section of global voices across five thematic conversations.<br>“Borders Without Barriers: The Diplomacy of Visas and Mobility” examined the changing architecture of international travel, with participation from envoys of Seychelles, Argentina and South Africa, alongside VFS Global.<br>“Next Gen Skills for Tourism” explored the talent and capabilities required for the industry’s next phase, bringing together leaders from the BIMSTEC Business Council Secretariat, MSME Business Forum and Radisson Hotel Group.<br>The conversation on “Soft Power on the Move: Tourism, Culture and Bilateral Ties” brought together ambassadors from Ireland, Slovakia, Nicaragua, Greece and Sri Lanka to examine tourism as an instrument of cultural diplomacy and stronger bilateral ties.<br>“The Business of Travel: Aviation, Hospitality and India’s Tourism Infra Story” brought together senior leaders from Sterling Holiday Resorts, IHCL, Air India, Air India Express, Visit Qatar and Cinnamon Life, alongside former diplomats and policymakers.<br>The final conversation, “Tech Frontiers Reshaping Journeys,” examined how technology is redefining travel, featuring leaders from Kairali Ayurvedic Group, VFS Global, GMR Cargo and ITQ Technologies.<br>The event also featured Dr Vishal Chaturvedi, director of Hanuman Ansh, who spoke about the film’s unexpected success and its impact on tourism to destinations associated with Neem Karoli Baba.<br>The WION Iconic Tourism Summit &amp; Awards 2026 brought the industry together around a shared idea: that the future of tourism will be shaped not merely by destinations and technology, but by human connection, cultural exchange and the experiences that bring the world closer together.</p>

While speaking at the press conference, the team was asked about the court’s interim injunction restraining the circulation of defamatory content on social media. Nani said the move was aimed at AI and bot-generated material and added, “It does not target genuine reviews.” On Saturday, a sessions judge in Bengaluru passed an order on an application filed by the film's producer, Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas LLP. How does the court order protect The Paradise? A Bengaluru court has issued a restraining order against the circulation of false and defamatory content targeting the upcoming film The Paradise, citing potential for irreversible financial and reputational harm.

<p>The Roadies Double Cross winner continued by sharing that he was not in love with the woman and wanted to get a divorce. "After that, I got used to being alone. I thought nothing could go more wrong than this; life would only get better. I won the show, Roadies, and was enjoying myself with my friends in Goa.
