Nana Patekar’s memorable films that defined his legacy: From Krantiveer to Natsamrat

<p>Korean drama A Love Other Than Yours has triggered an intense debate about infidelity, love, and attraction. Even though the show isn't climbing the rating charts, it is something people are clearly talking about. The reason is its plot. The story is about the male lead, Namgung Ho and the female lead, Lee Mi-do, who have been in a relationship for 10 years. The sparks have fizzled; the heart doesn't flutter as it used to. They haven't been intimate for months and are pretty much dragging the relationship.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They break up, but eventually get back together, get engaged and start talking about marriage. But at the same time, they are also attracted to other people. Mi-do is being pursued by a lawyer, while Namgung's co-worker is clearly attracted to him. There is tension, sparks, and a buzz everywhere.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Viewers are divided about the story, with some accusing the show of glorifying cheating. But others say it portrays a dark reality no one wants to see. Being attracted to someone new despite being in a steady relationship or marriage is not uncommon.

<p>Telugu superstar Nani recently featured in Srikanth Odela's action drama <i>The Paradise.</i> While the film did not quite live up to some fans' expectations and is considered a commercial flop, Nani is already looking ahead for his next project. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that he is preparing for a new love story that will showcase him in a never-seen-before avatar.</p><h2>Nani confirms a new love story is in the works</h2><p>During a conversation with <i>The Hollywood Reporter India</i>, the <i>Hi Nanna </i>actor revealed, “I don't know if I can call it a family movie or a love story, but it is for everyone. Kids genuinely love me wherever I go. At any function or anywhere, the first ones to run to me are the children. I'm feeling terrible that they were not allowed into the theatre. Of course, I don't want them to be either, but there's something very, very… Bloody Romeo is, in a way, for everyone. Something very sweet, subtle, and beautiful is also coming next.”</p>

Telugu superstar Nani recently featured in Srikanth Odela's action drama The Paradise. While the film did not quite live up to some fans' expectations and is considered a commercial flop, Nani is already looking ahead for his next project. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that he is preparing for a new love story that will showcase him in a never-seen-before avatar. Nani confirms a new love story is in the works During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, the Hi Nanna actor revealed, “I don't know if I can call it a family movie or a love story, but it is for everyone. Kids genuinely love me wherever I go. At any function or anywhere, the first ones to run to me are the children. I'm feeling terrible that they were not allowed into the theatre. Of course, I don't want them to be either, but there's something very, very… Bloody Romeo is, in a way, for everyone. Something very sweet, subtle, and beautiful is also coming next.”

When CJI Surya Kant reportedly told Rajpal Yadav, “Koi nayi movie banao,” the moment instantly travelled beyond the courtroom.

But beneath the humour lies a harder truth: a court case may involve a celebrity, but justice cannot become celebrity theatre.

The Bench may speak lightly.
The law must still speak precisely.
A courtroom can smile—but its final language must always be law, reason and due process.

Because in a constitutional court, personality may create the headline; principle must decide the case.

<h3>Ted Lasso season 5 release date: When will season 5 premiere?</h3><p>Ted Lasso has yet to be officially renewed. But based on the ending of season 4 and how the cast and makers have teased what's next, the show might return, just not anytime soon. Season 4 came three years after the last season, which is a long gap. Looking at that pattern, it seems the show could return with a new season in the next three years.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Ted Lasso is streaming on Apple TV</p>

Premiered in 2020, Ted Lasso became one of the most beloved shows and one of Apple TV’s biggest triumphs. The show was supposedly set to wrap its run with season 3. Thankfully, it returned for season 4, making fans and the cast crave a new season.  

When Ted Lasso's season 4 was announced after a long wait, many fans had already thought they might never see Jason Sudeikis as everyone's favourite coach on screen again. Thankfully, he returned for season 4. Now that the new season has come to an end, the audience is back to discussing whether the show will return for season 5. Premiered on August 5, season 4 saw Sudeikis return as the football coach, who has now relocated to the UK to train a second-division women's football team, AFC Richmond's Lady Greyhounds, after he moved back to the US to be with his family. The recent season ended by giving fans hope for more stories they want to see in Lasso's humorous world. Is Ted Lasso Season 5 happening? Premiering in August 2020, the series was expected to end with the season 3 finale, which was released in 2023. However, Apple TV renewed the show for a fourth season in March 2025. Now that the new season is set to wrap, the viewers are again back with the same question. Will the show return? Time will only answer. But there is a possibility that the new season might happen. During an interview with Deadline, Matt Cherniss seemingly confirmed that the show might return. Saying that Sudeikis is set to serve as co-creator, showrunner, head writer, and executive producer, is "looking to jump into the next season soon." The show has not been officially renewed by Apple TV. ''Jason [Sudeikis is] still hard at work on season four, and I know he's looking to jump into the next season soon, but to my knowledge, I don't think we've gotten started on it yet,'' he said earlier. Meanwhile, stars Abbie Hern and Tanya Reynolds have expressed hope and interest in a new season. Speaking to Decider, Reynolds was asked about her character and her arc going forward. “We have no idea. There’s obviously so much potential, so many possibilities…” they said. “We’d be so interested in a flashback to our Arsenal days,” Reynolds continued. “We can get to the bottom of the beef.
