I have seen some of the reactions from fans and it is incredible to see how invested people still are in this character. Guddu has been a very physical character from the beginning because he is a wrestler, but for the film I knew that I had to take that aspect much further. The scale of cinema is completely different, and I wanted his physicality to reflect that. I wanted him to look bigger, stronger and more intimidating, but at the same time, it had to feel like Guddu. It couldn't just be about getting into shape or looking muscular.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/mirzapur-the-movie-teaser-out-the-og-cast-returns-all-guns-blazing-1782372207072"><strong>Mirzapur: The Movie teaser out!

For me, this transformation wasn't just a physical challenge; it was another way of getting under the skin of a character I have lived with for years. Guddu Bhaiya has always had the fire, the rage and the hunger, and this time I wanted his physical presence to match all of that. Bringing him to the big screen has been a completely different experience, and I think audiences are going to see a Guddu they recognise, but also a version of him that they haven't seen before. The Bhaukaal is definitely bigger this time.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/mirzapur-the-movie-makers-unveil-new-posters-ahead-of-trailer-release-the-king-the-prince-the-lions-1786277565159"><strong>Mirzapur: The Movie makers unveil new posters ahead of trailer release | The King, the Prince, the Lions</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Ali Fazal opens up about his role Speaking about the transformation, Ali Fazal said, “The reaction to the trailer and especially to Guddu’s physical transformation has honestly been overwhelming. I have seen some of the reactions from fans and it is incredible to see how invested people still are in this character. Guddu has been a very physical character from the beginning because he is a wrestler, but for the film I knew that I had to take that aspect much further. The scale of cinema is completely different, and I wanted his physicality to reflect that. I wanted him to look bigger, stronger and more intimidating, but at the same time, it had to feel like Guddu. It couldn't just be about getting into shape or looking muscular.” Also Read: Mirzapur: The Movie teaser out! The OG cast returns, all guns blazing He further added, "Seeing fans go crazy over the look in the trailer is incredibly gratifying because they have been part of Guddu's journey from the very beginning. For me, this transformation wasn't just a physical challenge; it was another way of getting under the skin of a character I have lived with for years. Guddu Bhaiya has always had the fire, the rage and the hunger, and this time I wanted his physical presence to match all of that. Bringing him to the big screen has been a completely different experience, and I think audiences are going to see a Guddu they recognise, but also a version of him that they haven't seen before. The Bhaukaal is definitely bigger this time.” Also Read: Mirzapur: The Movie makers unveil new posters ahead of trailer release | The King, the Prince, the Lions

The suit filed in a federal court in Washington accuses the Trump administration, through the FCC, of waging a “retaliatory campaign against ABC for a single reason: it disapproves of what ABC broadcasts.”

The Disney-owned ABC television network sued the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Tuesday over a potential threat to its broadcast licenses. The suit filed in a federal court in Washington accuses the Trump administration, through the FCC, of waging a "retaliatory campaign against ABC for a single reason: it disapproves of what ABC broadcasts." "Over time, those attacks have escalated into express demands that ABC be stripped of its broadcast licenses because of its speech," it says. The suit, filed in a federal district court in Washington, comes after the FCC earlier this year asked Disney-owned TV stations to renew their broadcast licenses earlier than scheduled. President Donald Trump has personally lashed out at ABC on several occasions, particularly the network's late night host Jimmy Kimmel, and has suggested removing broadcast licenses. "For months, the Administration has steadily increased the pressure on ABC, culminating in the present threat to the broadcasting licenses of the eight ABC Owned Stations," the suit says. "The Commission has demanded a review of the Stations' licenses extraordinarily early," it says. "That timing underscores the Commission's true purpose: coercing and retaliating against a network that refuses to bow to the Administration's demands."

Shamelessly, an actress was offered the front-row seat at the event, and the duo were seen saluting each other. This sight cannot be tolerated by even those who voted for him.

<p>Speculation around Anupama Parameswaran and Dhruv Vikram’s rumoured relationship refuses to die down. An old podcast has now resurfaced, which features Anupama and Dhruv talking about their film Bison Kaalamaadan, where Anupama revealed how Dhruv micromanages all promotional posts related to the film.

<p>The Revolutionaries are coming to a screen near you soon. On Tuesday, Prime Video unveiled four character promos of their upcoming show The Revolutionaries and announced the release date of the highly anticipated series. Directed and created by Nikhil Advani, the high-octane period drama is produced by Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani under the banner of Emmay Entertainment. Inspired by true events, The Revolutionaries builds an out-and-out entertaining cinematic experience about the untold story of lesser-known revolutionaries and their contribution towards India’s fight for freedom.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The series is based on Sanjeev Sanyal's bestseller Revolutionaries: The Other Story Of How India Won Its Freedom. Written by Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh, Akshita Wadhwana, Shobhit Narang, and Rutvi Mehta, The Revolutionaries features a stellar ensemble, with Bhuvan Bam, Rohit Saraf, Pratibha Ranta, and Gurfateh Pirzada leading the cast, and Jason Shah, Paoli Dam, and Tota Roy Chowdhury in key roles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>About The Revolutionaries</h2><p>Set against the backdrop of India's freedom movement, The Revolutionaries follows four fearless young revolutionaries, Rash Behari Bose (Bam), Sachindra Nath Sanyal (Saraf), Pratibha Lahiri (Ranta), and Bagha Jatin (Pirzada), who dared to stand against the behemoth of the British Empire. Born in the aftermath of the revolt of 1857, these young revolutionaries are driven by an unwavering belief in justice, liberty, and freedom. As they embark on a dangerous path of armed resistance, the series explores their courage, sacrifices, friendships, betrayals, and the extraordinary choices that helped shape an important chapter in India's freedom struggle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“The Revolutionaries is an adrenaline-fueled series, built around four brave hearts and their relentless efforts to mobilize a nationwide armed resistance against the British Empire. This is a special project for us from the outset, and we are thrilled to reunite with Nikkhil Advani and the team at Emmay Entertainment. With Nikkhil's vision, the immersive world built for the series, and powerful performances from Bhuvan, Rohit, Gurfateh, and Pratibha, we believe this is a thrilling and audacious story that will both move and entertain audiences in India and around the world," said Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of SVOD Originals, Prime Video India.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nikkhil Advani, creator and director of The Revolutionaries, shared, “What excited me most about The Revolutionaries was the opportunity to shine a light on the lesser-known heroes of pre-independence India. While inspired by real events and the extraordinary stories of courage documented in Sanjeev Sanyal’s eponymous book, we have approached the series as a character-driven action drama that explores rebellion, sacrifice, friendship, and freedom through an emotional and cinematic lens. We have a successful long-standing relationship with Prime Video and it has been a wonderful experience to collaborate with the team again to bring this vision to life with the scale and creative ambition it deserves. I am deeply grateful for how every member of our cast and crew brought remarkable honesty and conviction to their roles. I hope audiences across the world not only experience the thrill of this story, but also connect with the indomitable spirit of these heroes.”</p><h2>Meet the cast</h2><p>The key characters of The Revolutionaries were introduced in unique character promos on Tuesday.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Revolutionaries will premiere on Prime Video in Hindi with dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali along with subtitles in English and several international languages across India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide on September 11.</p>

Set during India's freedom struggle, The Revolutionaries follows four young revolutionaries engaging in armed resistance against the British Empire, highlighting untold stories of sacrifice, friendship, and rebellion.

The Revolutionaries are coming to a screen near you soon. On Tuesday, Prime Video unveiled four character promos of their upcoming show The Revolutionaries and announced the release date of the highly anticipated series. Directed and created by Nikhil Advani, the high-octane period drama is produced by Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani under the banner of Emmay Entertainment. Inspired by true events, The Revolutionaries builds an out-and-out entertaining cinematic experience about the untold story of lesser-known revolutionaries and their contribution towards India’s fight for freedom. The series is based on Sanjeev Sanyal's bestseller Revolutionaries: The Other Story Of How India Won Its Freedom. Written by Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh, Akshita Wadhwana, Shobhit Narang, and Rutvi Mehta, The Revolutionaries features a stellar ensemble, with Bhuvan Bam, Rohit Saraf, Pratibha Ranta, and Gurfateh Pirzada leading the cast, and Jason Shah, Paoli Dam, and Tota Roy Chowdhury in key roles. About The Revolutionaries Set against the backdrop of India's freedom movement, The Revolutionaries follows four fearless young revolutionaries, Rash Behari Bose (Bam), Sachindra Nath Sanyal (Saraf), Pratibha Lahiri (Ranta), and Bagha Jatin (Pirzada), who dared to stand against the behemoth of the British Empire. Born in the aftermath of the revolt of 1857, these young revolutionaries are driven by an unwavering belief in justice, liberty, and freedom. As they embark on a dangerous path of armed resistance, the series explores their courage, sacrifices, friendships, betrayals, and the extraordinary choices that helped shape an important chapter in India's freedom struggle. “The Revolutionaries is an adrenaline-fueled series, built around four brave hearts and their relentless efforts to mobilize a nationwide armed resistance against the British Empire. This is a special project for us from the outset, and we are thrilled to reunite with Nikkhil Advani and the team at Emmay Entertainment. With Nikkhil's vision, the immersive world built for the series, and powerful performances from Bhuvan, Rohit, Gurfateh, and Pratibha, we believe this is a thrilling and audacious story that will both move and entertain audiences in India and around the world," said Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of SVOD Originals, Prime Video India. Nikkhil Advani, creator and director of The Revolutionaries, shared, “What excited me most about The Revolutionaries was the opportunity to shine a light on the lesser-known heroes of pre-independence India. While inspired by real events and the extraordinary stories of courage documented in Sanjeev Sanyal’s eponymous book, we have approached the series as a character-driven action drama that explores rebellion, sacrifice, friendship, and freedom through an emotional and cinematic lens. We have a successful long-standing relationship with Prime Video and it has been a wonderful experience to collaborate with the team again to bring this vision to life with the scale and creative ambition it deserves. I am deeply grateful for how every member of our cast and crew brought remarkable honesty and conviction to their roles. I hope audiences across the world not only experience the thrill of this story, but also connect with the indomitable spirit of these heroes.” Meet the cast The key characters of The Revolutionaries were introduced in unique character promos on Tuesday.

<p>A Chinese animated film&nbsp;is giving a tough fight to Hollywood blockbusters The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day at the Chinese box office. The film has been widely described as terrible, and that’s precisely the reason why audiences are rushing to cinemas to watch it. Titled Niu Lai, translated as The Cow is Coming, the film is an 86-minute animation about a newborn calf and a skylark, whose relationship is highlighted through an abstract dream sequence.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Niu Lai was released in China on August 5 and almost disappeared immediately.&nbsp;</p><h2>‘Worst film of 2026’</h2><p>Released in China on August 5, the film initially appeared destined to disappear without a trace. It earned around &nbsp;7,700 yuan (USD&nbsp;1,142.32)&nbsp;during its first 10 days of release and had ticket sales of about 3000 across China. The film did not have any trailer, no promotional tour, not even pre-release publicity.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>10 days after the film’s release, it witnessed a spike in ticket sales, all thanks to social media. Clips of the film were widely circulated on various social media sites, with viewers mocking its crude computer graphics, stiff characters, awkward voice acting and confusing story.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There were some who compared the film to a poorly made student project. Others called it "worse than AI" and possibly the "worst movie of 2026".</p><h2>Why is Niu Lai so popular?</h2><p>The ridicule worked in favour of the film and got people curious. Many moviegoers began buying tickets simply to discover whether Niu Lai was really as bad as it was being claimed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Niu Lai has now collected 14.9 million yuan (22,10,468&nbsp;USD approx.) according to Chinese ticket platform Maoyan. Its sudden rise at the box office has placed it alongside bigger films in China cinema revenue rankings.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film has been reportedly made by two people.

A film titled Niu Lai, made by a mother-son duo, is reportedly giving Hollywood blockbusters a tough fight at the box office in China. The film has been dubbed the ‘worst film of 2026,' yet it has been attracting viewers to theatres for this reason. 

A Chinese animated film is giving a tough fight to Hollywood blockbusters The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day at the Chinese box office. The film has been widely described as terrible, and that’s precisely the reason why audiences are rushing to cinemas to watch it. Titled Niu Lai, translated as The Cow is Coming, the film is an 86-minute animation about a newborn calf and a skylark, whose relationship is highlighted through an abstract dream sequence. Niu Lai was released in China on August 5 and almost disappeared immediately. ‘Worst film of 2026’ Released in China on August 5, the film initially appeared destined to disappear without a trace. It earned around 7,700 yuan (USD 1,142.32) during its first 10 days of release and had ticket sales of about 3000 across China. The film did not have any trailer, no promotional tour, not even pre-release publicity. 10 days after the film’s release, it witnessed a spike in ticket sales, all thanks to social media. Clips of the film were widely circulated on various social media sites, with viewers mocking its crude computer graphics, stiff characters, awkward voice acting and confusing story. There were some who compared the film to a poorly made student project. Others called it "worse than AI" and possibly the "worst movie of 2026". Why is Niu Lai so popular? The ridicule worked in favour of the film and got people curious. Many moviegoers began buying tickets simply to discover whether Niu Lai was really as bad as it was being claimed. Niu Lai has now collected 14.9 million yuan (22,10,468 USD approx.) according to Chinese ticket platform Maoyan. Its sudden rise at the box office has placed it alongside bigger films in China cinema revenue rankings. The film has been reportedly made by two people. Niu Lai is credited to Xin Yumeng and Sun Lifang, believed to be a mother-and-son team. They are credited as its writers, directors, producers and voice actors. The only known advertisement of the film has an elegant poster with traditional ink-wash artwork. The beautiful poster bears very little resemblance to the amateur animations that await audiences inside theatres. Even its distributor reportedly admitted that he had been advised against releasing the film because of its quality. He went ahead because he was a friend of the director. The roughness is not being viewed as a failure by many who have described the handcrafted visuals as refreshing, particularly at a time of AI, which produces slick imagery within seconds. The greater audience, though have less generous assessments about the film, calling it bad in every aspect, including its imagery and storytelling. But that is exactly working in favour of the film. Despite knowing how bad the film is, audiences are flocking to theatres to witness for themselves how disastrous the film is.
