<p>Bad news for Paramount Pictures, the studio behind <em>Top Gun: Maverick</em>, as a cousin of the film&rsquo;s screenwriter Eric Singer has claimed that he was neither credited nor compensated for writing key scenes in the film. He claims that he wrote several important scenes in the film and was part of the initial discussions in the pre-production stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shaun Gray had worked with Singer before <em>Top Gun</em> happened.

<p>New twist in Sean Diddy&rsquo;s case as his legal team now argues that he was too intoxicated to form the intent required to commit the alleged crimes that he has been slapped with.

<p>Director George Lucas has finally shared why Master Yoda speaks in the distinct way he does in the movies. Yoda is the leader of the Jedi in the <em>Star Wars</em> universe and has a unique speech mannerism, where he follows an inverse of the standard way we speak English.</p>

<p>Yoda and the <em>Star Wars</em> franchise are the brainchild of George Lucas, and speaking recently at the TCM Classic Film Festival, he revealed the reason behind Yoda's unique speech pattern, saying, &ldquo;Because if you speak regular English, people won&rsquo;t listen that much,&rdquo;.</p>
<p>He went on to add, &ldquo;But if he had an accent, or it&rsquo;s really hard to understand what he&rsquo;s saying, they focus on what he&rsquo;s saying.&rdquo; &ldquo;He was basically the philosopher of the movie.&rdquo; &ldquo;I had to figure out a way to get people to actually listen &mdash; especially 12-year-olds.&rdquo;</p>

Star Wars: George Lucas finally shares why Yoda speaks in the distinct way he does

<p>Prajakta Koli thrives in a dynamic space. She enjoys the &ldquo;lack of monotony&rdquo; that her job offers. From starting as a content creator on YouTube, to acting in films and shows, to becoming a published author with her book, and now working as a voice actor to narrate her audiobook, <em>Too Good To Be True</em> on Audible, Prajakta Koli is popular among her fans as MostlySane on YouTube.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Prajakta, overwhelmed with the love <em>Too Good To Be True</em> has been receiving, got talking about the process of writing a book with an idea she conceived during the pandemic, if she considers herself a hopeless romantic in real life, and what advice she has for people who want to publish a book in the future.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>Here are the edited excerpts of our chat:&nbsp;</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Q: Prajakta, congratulations on your marriage and your new book. How does it feel to be a published author?</strong></p>
<p>A: Thank you so much! Honestly, it's got to be one of the most challenging things I've done in my life so far as a creator. I was very, very happy when I finished writing the book. So, recording for my book was even more special. When I stood in that studio recording for Audible, it was the first time I said those words aloud after having worked on it for more than a year. This has been a huge learning curve for me &ndash; from writing scripts to writing a book and recording an audiobook.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: When did you think of the idea for your book, Too Good To Be True?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>A: During COVID, I was working on a few original ideas, and this was one of those. I wanted to develop this as a show, so when I started work on this, I realised I was very close to this idea and wanted to see if I could do it myself without a writer&rsquo;s room. I have no training in screenplay or dialogue writin,g so I started writing excerpts, which then became chapters for my book.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="prajakta" alt="" style="width: 0px;"><img src="https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/580x0/filters:format(webp)/wion/media/post_attachments/8a1306e4-221.jpg" alt="prajakta" style="width: 580px;"></p>
<p><strong>Q: Do you draw from yourself for Avni in your book?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>A: I drew a lot from myself for Avni because, as a first-time author, for me, that was the lowest hanging fruit. It was the easiest for me to look for inspiration in myself and my personality when it came to Avni.</p>
<p>But beyond that, I worked a little longer, harder to build from scratch as fiction.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Prajakta, would you call yourself a hopeless romantic?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>A: A 100 per cent. I&rsquo;ve been that for years. I have always gravitated towards it growing up. I used to be all heart for a very long time growing up. Now, I think I have reached a sweet spot where my heart and my mind meet midway. So, I go with my gut.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I used to be all heart for a very long time until I realised that self-preservation is also important. Now, I feel my heart and mind are pretty much in the same place. So I don't have to battle it out anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Is your husband too good to be true for you?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>A: I wouldn't call him that because he's perfect. I have been with him for a very long time, and I can say that he is everything that he shows. He is very much true in the way I want him to be. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Q: Did writing happen because you&rsquo;re a reader? Is that the usual route we have to take to develop writing as a skill?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>A: I don&rsquo;t know what approach one can take when it comes to writing. I feel like it's a very, very personal process. I think everyone has a different way of approaching the first word or the first line, or the first chapter. For me, as much as I enjoyed writing romance, and I always wanted to write romance and develop it into shows and stuff like that, writing a book was never an idea I had. It wasn't until I read about 100 books that I realised that I now know how to tell a story. So the whole idea of writing a book, that is a dual POV book, came to me from reading all these beautiful novels that I ended up reading a few years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What would you suggest to people who want to start writing but are not able to?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>A: The only thing that's worked for me is actually putting the work out without being too self-critical of it. It could be a YouTube video, a book or anything else. You would have a way of learning or steering towards the right place unless you put it out.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, even if I wanted to be critical, I couldn&rsquo;t be because I don&rsquo;t know better. It&rsquo;s good to have a little faith in yourself and take that leap.</p>

Side effects, uses, and more - all you need to know</a></p>
<p><strong>Q: We haven&rsquo;t seen you on screen in a while. Should we expect something new in the works?</strong></p>
<p>A: Yes, I shot something exciting for Prime Video that should be coming out sometime this year. It's a supernatural thriller. It's very different from anything I've done before. It's called Andhera. I also finished shooting another project for another OTT platform. I am currently shooting another project for the same OTT, and then there are a couple of other announcements that I am not allowed to speak about yet. Also, there&rsquo;s definitely more writing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Prajakta's audiobook <em>Too Good To Be True</em> released on March 24.&nbsp;</p>

Interview Entertainment In an exclusive interview, Youtuber, actor and now author Prajakta Koli opens up about trying new things, acting and how she gravitated towards writing a romantic fiction.

Prajakta Koli thrives in a dynamic space. She enjoys the “lack of monotony” that her job offers. From starting as a content creator on YouTube, to acting in films and shows, to becoming a published author with her book, and now working as a voice actor to narrate her audiobook, Too Good To Be True on Audible, Prajakta Koli is popular among her fans as MostlySane on YouTube. Prajakta, overwhelmed with the love Too Good To Be True has been receiving, got talking about the process of writing a book with an idea she conceived during the pandemic, if she considers herself a hopeless romantic in real life, and what advice she has for people who want to publish a book in the future. Here are the edited excerpts of our chat: Q: Prajakta, congratulations on your marriage and your new book. How does it feel to be a published author? A: Thank you so much! Honestly, it's got to be one of the most challenging things I've done in my life so far as a creator. I was very, very happy when I finished writing the book. So, recording for my book was even more special. When I stood in that studio recording for Audible, it was the first time I said those words aloud after having worked on it for more than a year. This has been a huge learning curve for me – from writing scripts to writing a book and recording an audiobook. Q: When did you think of the idea for your book, Too Good To Be True? A: During COVID, I was working on a few original ideas, and this was one of those. I wanted to develop this as a show, so when I started work on this, I realised I was very close to this idea and wanted to see if I could do it myself without a writer’s room. I have no training in screenplay or dialogue writin,g so I started writing excerpts, which then became chapters for my book. Q: Do you draw from yourself for Avni in your book? A: I drew a lot from myself for Avni because, as a first-time author, for me, that was the lowest hanging fruit. It was the easiest for me to look for inspiration in myself and my personality when it came to Avni. But beyond that, I worked a little longer, harder to build from scratch as fiction. Q: Prajakta, would you call yourself a hopeless romantic? A: A 100 per cent. I’ve been that for years. I have always gravitated towards it growing up. I used to be all heart for a very long time growing up. Now, I think I have reached a sweet spot where my heart and my mind meet midway. So, I go with my gut. I used to be all heart for a very long time until I realised that self-preservation is also important. Now, I feel my heart and mind are pretty much in the same place. So I don't have to battle it out anymore. Q: Is your husband too good to be true for you? A: I wouldn't call him that because he's perfect. I have been with him for a very long time, and I can say that he is everything that he shows. He is very much true in the way I want him to be.

<p>Prominent Indian TV actors Dipika Kakar and husband Shoaib Ibrahim have finally broken their silence over the backlash they received for their Kashmir vlog right after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of at least 26 people.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now addressing the intent behind the vlog and as a reply to all the hate and trolling they received on their post, Shoaib Ibrahim took to YouTube and posted a new video.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Shoaib Ibrahim addressed backlash over Kashmir vlog</strong></h2>
<p>Shoaib spoke directly to the camera in the vlog and spoke in Hindi. He said, &ldquo;We flew from Srinagar to Delhi on April 22. While we were mid-flight, the Pahalgam terror attack occurred, and we had no knowledge about it. There was no connection. When we landed and switched our phones on, we were flooded with messages inquiring about our safety. Initially, the news was only a couple of injuries. We thought it was responsible to inform our well-wishers that we were safe, and in the same breath, I mentioned the vlog &mdash; but without any intention of promoting it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He added, &ldquo;Maine ek story daal di that we are fine and we will update you. Uss story ka jo bawaal banaya hai&hellip; kai logo ne, kuch media portals ne, aur kuch YouTube channels ne. Toh mera woh koi intention nahi tha ki mujhe apna vlog promote karna hai. It was just ki mere paas uss samay information nahi thi. Dheere dheere videos aa rahe the social media pe tab khud ko bura lag raha tha (I posted a story informing we are fine and we will update you. What a stir that caused. It was picked up by the media and YouTube channels. It was never my intention to promote the vlog. I did not have the information that time.

<h2><strong>About the attack</strong></h2>
<p>Terrorists attacked tourists in Pahalgam on April 22. The attack led to the killing of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen. Several others were left injured in the attack.&nbsp;</p>

Entertainment TV actors Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim got a lot of hate for their Kashmir post, with people finding it disturbing that they were trying to promote their vlog, days after the terror attack.

Prominent Indian TV actors Dipika Kakar and husband Shoaib Ibrahim have finally broken their silence over the backlash they received for their Kashmir vlog right after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of at least 26 people. Now addressing the intent behind the vlog and as a reply to all the hate and trolling they received on their post, Shoaib Ibrahim took to YouTube and posted a new video. Shoaib Ibrahim addressed backlash over Kashmir vlog Shoaib spoke directly to the camera in the vlog and spoke in Hindi. He said, “We flew from Srinagar to Delhi on April 22. While we were mid-flight, the Pahalgam terror attack occurred, and we had no knowledge about it. There was no connection. When we landed and switched our phones on, we were flooded with messages inquiring about our safety. Initially, the news was only a couple of injuries. We thought it was responsible to inform our well-wishers that we were safe, and in the same breath, I mentioned the vlog — but without any intention of promoting it.” He added, “Maine ek story daal di that we are fine and we will update you. Uss story ka jo bawaal banaya hai… kai logo ne, kuch media portals ne, aur kuch YouTube channels ne. Toh mera woh koi intention nahi tha ki mujhe apna vlog promote karna hai. It was just ki mere paas uss samay information nahi thi. Dheere dheere videos aa rahe the social media pe tab khud ko bura lag raha tha (I posted a story informing we are fine and we will update you. What a stir that caused. It was picked up by the media and YouTube channels. It was never my intention to promote the vlog. I did not have the information that time. Once videos started coming in on social media, I myself felt bad).” Shoaib also asked why everyone was targeting him and his wife, Dipika Kakar. “Sirf main target kyu? Dipika target kyu? Hum kya special hai aapke liye? Har ek vlogger ne daala hain (Why are they targeting Dipika and I? Are we special for you? All other vloggers have put their videos too),” he asked.

<p>Talking about the tourism of Kashmir, Atul said it's our responsibility not to desert the Valley now. "Itni badi tadaat mein log arahe the yaha 1-2 saalon mein. Achanak se agar rukh gaye hum log toh ek jo sambandh ban rahe hai mainland aur Kashmir ka woh rukna nahi chahiye...Jo atanwadiyon ne humein message diye ki, 'Yaha mat aiyye.' Toh nahi, hum toh ayenge, humara Kashmir hai, hum yaha ayenge, badi tadaat mein ayenge (People were coming here in huge numbers since the last 1-2 years. If we stop suddenly, the relationship that was getting formed between Kashmir and mainland shouldn't stop...The terrorists gave us the message, 'Don't come here'. No, we will come here, it's our Kashmir, we will come here and that too in significant numbers. I request people not to cancel their bookings. Come here, it's very safe here. If you have decided to travel somewhere, cancel that and come to Kashmir."</p>
<p>Atul then went on to document his visit to Kashmir and shared a series of pictures. He posted pictures of empty flight seats and his boarding pass. Atul also shared a note given to him by the flight crew. Along with the pictures, he wrote, "Mumbai to Srinagar. The crew says they were running full. We need to fill them up again.

We need to support Kashmiriyat and the Kashmiri people.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Atul Kulkarni (@atulkulkarni_official) Bajrangi Bhaijaan to Ground Zero: 9 Bollywood films which showcased Kashmir’s gorgeous landscape Pahalgam attack: R Madhavan welcomes cancellation of film events 'Kashmir humara hai' Talking about the tourism of Kashmir, Atul said it's our responsibility not to desert the Valley now. "Itni badi tadaat mein log arahe the yaha 1-2 saalon mein. Achanak se agar rukh gaye hum log toh ek jo sambandh ban rahe hai mainland aur Kashmir ka woh rukna nahi chahiye...Jo atanwadiyon ne humein message diye ki, 'Yaha mat aiyye.' Toh nahi, hum toh ayenge, humara Kashmir hai, hum yaha ayenge, badi tadaat mein ayenge (People were coming here in huge numbers since the last 1-2 years. If we stop suddenly, the relationship that was getting formed between Kashmir and mainland shouldn't stop...The terrorists gave us the message, 'Don't come here'. No, we will come here, it's our Kashmir, we will come here and that too in significant numbers. I request people not to cancel their bookings. Come here, it's very safe here. If you have decided to travel somewhere, cancel that and come to Kashmir." Atul then went on to document his visit to Kashmir and shared a series of pictures. He posted pictures of empty flight seats and his boarding pass. Atul also shared a note given to him by the flight crew. Along with the pictures, he wrote, "Mumbai to Srinagar. The crew says they were running full. We need to fill them up again. Chaliye ji, Kashmir chalein (Let's go to Kashmir)." 'I met Salman last Eid': Bahubali writer Vijayendra Prasad shares update on Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel Atul also posted a photo from Pahalgam. He also shared pictures of local Kashmiris holding placards that read, "We condemn this attack," and others waving the National flag.
