Ever since KATSEYE member Manon announced her temporary hiatus, the girl group has been the topic of discussion on social media. But another member, Daniela, and her father, Rafaela, made it more chaotic after he made insensitive comments about Manon and had even dragged BLACKPINK member Lisa in as well. However, now Daniela's father has responded to the backlash from netizens on social media. What did Daniela's father say to netizens and fans of KATSEYE? Taking to the Instagram handle, Daniela's father Rafaela Avanzini issued a lengthy note speaking about the remarks he had made and shared a blank photo along with it. In the statement, he shared, ‘I want to apologise to Manon and to everyone I affected, especially Eyekons.’ I wasn’t in the right headspace when I wrote those comments, and I know I came off rude and insensitive. That was wrong of me, and I’m truly sorry to anyone I hurt." Also Read: KATSEYE Daniela's father slammed for being racist towards BLACKPINK's Lisa amid Manon's temporary hiatus He further wrote, "As a father, seeing your daughter get so much hate online is really painful, and I reacted without thinking clearly. I let my emotions take over, but that still doesn’t excuse what I said. Looking back, I understand I should have stayed in my place and not involved myself in online drama. I only wanted to protect Daniela because the comparisons and nasty comments were hard to see, but I handled it the wrong way." Also Read: KATSEYE's member Manon to take temporary hiatus?

"Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it’s referred to as an ‘opportunity,’ so let’s go with that – I’m having one of those. It’s also called a type of cancer that’s ‘treatable’ not ‘curable.’ I apologize if that’s a shock – it was to me too," he said. "The good news is, I’m not gonna go into any more detail. I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change – appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment. My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie ‘Ernie &amp; Emma’ this fall."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/eric-dane-s-official-cause-of-death-revealed-here-s-what-we-know-1772502478600"><strong>Eric Dane's official cause of death revealed; Here's what we know</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Revealing that several fan conventions scheduled for the summer have been cancelled, he said, "There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel.

Each song, each shimmering sequence, becomes an act of defiance, a reminder that even in captivity, the spirit can soar.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Written and directed by Bill Condon, the film transforms this broadway sensation into a sweeping cinematic spectacle. Returning to the movie musical with signature flair, Condon blends grandeur and intimacy in a story that is both politically charged and deeply emotional.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Talking about choosing Jennifer Lopez, Director Bill Condon shared, “This part demanded a very strong actress who was also a great musical performer. In addition, she had to embody the style of a different time, conjuring up performers like Rita Hayworth and Cyd Charisse. Let’s face it, we don’t have very many true divas anymore – you can probably count them on one hand. I’d heard through the grapevine that Jennifer was looking to do a traditional musical. Of course we all know what an incredible dancer she is - but that voice! It’s a legit, powerful instrument that I think will surprise people who only know her from her pop career.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Shedding light on how Diego Luna came to play Valentín, Bill shared,“As with Jennifer, Diego Luna was our first and only choice for the role. We needed an actor who was going to commit to the love story, which meant someone with an open and infinite soul. He brought invention and wit to a part that might have felt strident in other hands. I think he’s a flat out great actor, among the best I’ve been lucky enough to work with. And he’s spent as much time doing theatre as film, so he brought that vast experience to what is in many ways a two-character play.”</p>

The movie is adapted from the acclaimed 1976 novel Kiss of the Spider Woman by Argentine writer Manuel Puig.

Love. Revolution. Fantasy. In one prison cell, everything changes. Step into a world where revolution, repression, and desire collide behind bars as Lionsgate Play brings Kiss of the Spider Woman to India this March 6. Set against the backdrop of a brutal Latin American dictatorship, this reimagined adaptation of Manuel Puig’s iconic novel transforms a stark prison cell into a stage pulsing with politics, passion, and peril. The movie is adapted from the acclaimed 1976 novel Kiss of the Spider Woman by Argentine writer Manuel Puig. When hardened Marxist revolutionary Valentín (Diego Luna) is forced to share close quarters with Molina (Tonatiuh), a queer window dresser imprisoned for public indecency, sparks fly - first in defiance, then in unexpected desire.

<p><br>Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar never lacked in any point except its runtime. After a months-long wait, the sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is finally on its way. Now, with the film only a few weeks away from release, it has been learned that the second instalment will be lengthier than the first part.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Directed and written by Dhar, the sequel will revolve around Ranveer’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari, who was formerly known as Jaskirat Singh Rangi. In the first part, Jaskirat was in jail, but Indian government officer Ajay Sanyal (R. Madhavan) recruited him for the Dhurandhar mission.</p><h2><br>Dhurandhar: The Revenge runtime</h2><p>Dhurandhar: The Revenge is finally set to hit the big screen, and as per the teaser release, the second part is going to be high on action and drama. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the movie will be 235 minutes long, that is, 3 hours and 55 minutes, almost four hours.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/dhurandhar-2-trailer-likely-to-drop-on-this-date-sequel-said-to-have-extended-runtime-1772439578563">Dhurandhar 2 trailer likely to drop on THIS date; sequel to be longer</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is expected to be 235 minutes long, that is, 3 hours and 55 minutes. However, in some regions, the information that has spread is that the sequel’s length is 3 hours and 40 minutes.''</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These reports differ from earlier claims that the sequel would be shorter than the first part. However, as the release date nears and more information about the second part emerges, it has been learned that Dhurandhar 2 is going to be a lengthy one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>''Nevertheless, it is longer than Dhurandhar, which was 214.01 minutes long, that is, 3 hours, 34 minutes and 1 second. And honestly, that’s exactly what fans want. They still can’t get enough of Dhurandhar. If the first part was addictive, the sequel is designed to keep them glued for even longer,” the source said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If these reports are true, then Dhurandhar: The Revenge will be one of the lengthiest films in Hindi cinema after J. P. Dutta’s war film LOC Kargil (2003), which had a runtime of 4 hours and 7 minutes.</p><h2>Dhurandhar 2: When is the trailer releasing?</h2><p>If reports are to be believed, the trailer of the movie will be released in the first week of March, likely on March 3 or 4. However, there has been no official confirmation yet. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh shared a post, rubbishing the reports that the film’s trailer is set to be released on the occasion of Holi.</p>

<p>The sequel will see the ensemble cast returning, including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. The story will continue to follow Indian intelligence agent Hamza Ali Mazari, who works undercover in Karachi, infiltrating criminal syndicates and political power circles to dismantle a terror network that poses a threat to India.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/rajpal-yadav-reacts-to-priyadarshan-s-poor-education-remark-amid-9-crore-cheque-bounce-case-this-is-completely-wrong-1772436126970">Rajpal Yadav reacts to Priyadarshan’s remark amid ₹9 crore cheque bounce case</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The movie is set for a grand release on March 19, coinciding with Eid, Gudi Padwa, and Ugadi.

Directed and written by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has become one of the highest-grossing Hindi movie of Indian cinema. Starring Ranveer Singh, the movie revolves around an Indian spy Hamza/Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who has been sent across the border to infiltrate terror camps. 

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar never lacked in any point except its runtime. After a months-long wait, the sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is finally on its way. Now, with the film only a few weeks away from release, it has been learned that the second instalment will be lengthier than the first part. Directed and written by Dhar, the sequel will revolve around Ranveer’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari, who was formerly known as Jaskirat Singh Rangi. In the first part, Jaskirat was in jail, but Indian government officer Ajay Sanyal (R. Madhavan) recruited him for the Dhurandhar mission. Dhurandhar: The Revenge runtime Dhurandhar: The Revenge is finally set to hit the big screen, and as per the teaser release, the second part is going to be high on action and drama. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the movie will be 235 minutes long, that is, 3 hours and 55 minutes, almost four hours. Also read: Dhurandhar 2 trailer likely to drop on THIS date; sequel to be longer The source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is expected to be 235 minutes long, that is, 3 hours and 55 minutes. However, in some regions, the information that has spread is that the sequel’s length is 3 hours and 40 minutes.'' These reports differ from earlier claims that the sequel would be shorter than the first part. However, as the release date nears and more information about the second part emerges, it has been learned that Dhurandhar 2 is going to be a lengthy one. ''Nevertheless, it is longer than Dhurandhar, which was 214.01 minutes long, that is, 3 hours, 34 minutes and 1 second. And honestly, that’s exactly what fans want. They still can’t get enough of Dhurandhar. If the first part was addictive, the sequel is designed to keep them glued for even longer,” the source said. If these reports are true, then Dhurandhar: The Revenge will be one of the lengthiest films in Hindi cinema after J. P. Dutta’s war film LOC Kargil (2003), which had a runtime of 4 hours and 7 minutes. Dhurandhar 2: When is the trailer releasing? If reports are to be believed, the trailer of the movie will be released in the first week of March, likely on March 3 or 4. However, there has been no official confirmation yet. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh shared a post, rubbishing the reports that the film’s trailer is set to be released on the occasion of Holi.

Rajpal Yadav has recently been making headlines due to his long-running cheque-bounce case. Now, after securing interim bail, he has reacted to Priyadarshan’s remark about his “poor education." The actor was released from Tihar Jail on February 17 after spending 12 days in custody, and since then, he has publicly spoken about his legal battle. The actor had surrendered regarding a 2012 cheque-bounce case that was linked to a debt that reportedly amounted to nearly ₹9 crore. He was released on interim bail until March 18.

During an interview with MidDay, Priyadarshan shared about his bond with Yadav and revealed that he had asked producers of his upcoming film, Bhooth Bangla, to increase the actor’s remuneration. "I recommended a higher payment for Rajpal in my next project to support him and included him in every film. We want to protect him, and the producers have agreed," he said. "Rajpal is playing the villain in my film. I was aware of his problems, which is why I kept signing him for every project. I even gave him work in ad films. The poor guy made a big mistake because of his lack of education. Rajpal is a good person."

"This is completely wrong. Priyanji doesn’t know me. I am a well-educated man. I have been working since the age of 11 to 55. Even the biggest stalwarts land in trouble at some point, but that has nothing to do with their education. Had I been poorly educated, I wouldn’t have survived here for 25–30 years," Yadav replied. Also Read: Priyadarshan says Rajpal Yadav's financial crisis due to ‘poor education', increased his pay Despite disagreeing with the filmmaker, the actor expressed his emotions for Priyadarshan. "I respect three directors a lot, Mr. Ram Gopal Varma, David Dhawan, and Priyadarshan. I look up to them. I have done more than 50 films with just the three of them. Poor education doesn’t apply here because there is another intention. I am like Priyanji’s son. Whenever he asks, I would like to give an exam as an actor for a lifetime to him. But Priyanji or anyone from Bollywood doesn’t know the whole story, so any judgments from them don’t hold value." Also Read: 'We will sell every inch of you..'
