A stampede at one such event last September left at least 41 people dead. At the time, it appeared that the fledgling TVK would struggle to make a major impact in electoral politics. However, in May this year, Vijay's party pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Tamil Nadu's recent political history, winning a majority in the Assembly and enabling Vijay to become chief minister after securing support of smaller parties for a coalition government.

This led to rolonged political, creative and legal battles. After seven months, the film finally received an 'A' or Adults Only certificate. At least 12 major cuts were made to the final version of the film. The CBFC, also known as the Censor Board, had issues with several aspects of the film, including high levels of violence, political references, and the alleged use of defence or Indian Army emblems that required prior official clearance.

A single-judge order directing certification was later set aside. The authorities found that certain scenes had the potential to create communal or religious sensitivities. The portrayal of the armed forces was also questioned. The film was subsequently referred to a Revising Committee, which cited the need for further examination of references to the Indian Army and religious sentiments. These developments delayed the film's release. https://www.wionews.com/videos/july-23-jana-nayagan-set-to-release-worldwide-1784208447459/embed Jana Nayagan: Politics, leaks and piracy The film's political content, particularly coinciding with the election period when the Model Code of Conduct was in force, may have been the underlying reason for its delay. Amid the controversies, a high-definition copy of the then uncertified film leaked online in April. Clips from the film circulated on social media and piracy websites. This triggered a major backlash, with some critics blaming the Censor Board itself, an allegation the board strongly denied. The CBFC described the claims as "false and baseless". The film's makers subsequently approached the courts over the leak. Some critics of Vijay argued that his team had deliberately leaked the film to gather support. The film's political theme is expected to be a major talking point. It is expected to attract close scrutiny over its messaging, references to democracy, and potential parallels with real-world events and personalities.

Actor Rebel Wilson has received relief from a Sydney court after it dismissed a defamation case against her by Charlotte MacInnes. The update came on Wednesday, and The Deb actor is stated to pay Wilson's legal costs. 

Rebel Wilson has received a legal win after a Sydney court dismissed a defamation case against her by The Deb actor Charlotte MacInnes. On Wednesday, Justice Elizabeth Raper ruled that MacInnes had not established that the Australian actor's social media posts caused, or were likely to cause, serious harm to her reputation. In addition to this, the court also ordered MacInnes to pay Wilson's legal costs. What was the case? The legal case began because of the Instagram posts Wilson shared in 2024 and 2025 regarding MacInnes, who played the lead role in Wilson's directorial debut, The Deb. Also Read: Actress Rebel Wilson addresses legal dispute after co-star sued her for alleged harassment MacInnes claimed that the posts falsely suggested she had changed her account of an alleged sexual harassment incident involving one of the film's producers to advance her career. She denied ever making or withdrawing such a complaint and claimed the posts led to online abuse against her and also affected future employment opportunities. The verdict Justice Raper delivered the verdict concluding that MacInnes had "failed to establish that the publications have caused or were likely to cause serious harm."

Leaked audio reveals shocking details The judge further added that the only potentially defamatory meaning established in court, that MacInnes had altered her version of events, did not amount to defamation under the law. The issue dates back to an incident from September 2023 during the shooting of The Deb. According to evidence presented in court, producer Amanda Ghost experienced a severe reaction after swimming at Sydney's Bondi Beach. Ghost and MacInnes came back to an apartment rented by the production. They reportedly entered a bath wearing swimsuits to warm up, but both women maintained there was nothing inappropriate at the moment.

Know why Justice Raper commented, "To say that the circumstances surrounding how they came to be in the bath are unusual would be an understatement." Wilson, however, testified that MacInnes had previously told her the experience had made her feel "uncomfortable." She said she felt those remarks as a report of sexual harassment and believed it was her responsibility as the film's director to act. Throughout the trial, Wilson denied fabricating any allegations, and told the court, "I am known as a truth-teller. I don't classify it as an attack, I classify it as telling the truth." MacInnes' barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC, during closing arguments, described Wilson as "a fantastical liar who has made up terrible, terrible allegations about multiple people." Also Read: Pitch Perfect 4: Actress Rebel Wilson drops hint about status of popular franchise Wilson's lawyer, Dauid Sibtain SC, rejected those accusations, arguing his client "had no motive to lie" and insisting MacInnes had not suffered serious reputational damage. Following the ruling, Wilson shared a statement on Instagram, saying, "This process has taught me a lot. It has tested me, but it has also reinforced something I've always believed. I want to live my life standing up for what I believe is right, while continuing to create work that brings people joy." She further added, "I'm grateful this chapter has reached its conclusion and I'm looking forward to getting back to what I love most, my family and my work. Thank you to the Judge and the Australian legal system who I have the utmost respect for."

The 21-year-old D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces several charges including murder in the horrifying death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

The body of a teenage girl found in the trunk of US singer D4vd's car had decomposed to the point it was "unrecognizable," a police detective testified in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday. The 21-year-old D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces several charges including murder in the horrifying death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her body was discovered in Burke's Tesla last September within days of what would have been her 15th birthday. Los Angeles Police Detective Joshua Byers testified during the preliminary hearing's first day, saying that when law enforcement opened the trunk of Burke's car in a tow yard, he recognized the "very distinctive smell" of a corpse. Grim photographs of the girl's dismembered remains were shown to the court, with a large black bag containing her head and torso. When asked whether he was able to recognize any facial features, Byers said: "No, there was a quite a bit of decomposition to where skin slippage...made it unrecognizable." Her arms and legs were found in a separate bag where "there was insect activity. There was maggots. There was various stages of flies," Byers told the court. Burke, who attended the court hearing wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, did not flinch when the pictures were shown. Prosecutors said the singer met the girl when she was just 11 years old, and started a sexual relationship when she was 13. Also read: D4vd case: Singer charged with murder of teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez Body camera footage played during the hearing Tuesday showed Burke telling sheriff deputies: "She told me she was 18. Everybody saying she was 13." The victim's mother had reported her missing in 2024 when she was just 13 years old. Prosecutors alleged in charging papers that Burke killed her after she threatened to make their long-standing and illegal sexual relationship public, jeopardizing his singing career. Prosecutors also called to the stand Burke's former financial manager, Benjamin Greger, to illustrate his financial motive to protect his music career. Also read: D4vd case: Everything happened since his arrest, and when his next hearing is Greger testified that his former employer made between $10 million and $11 million in gross income between 2023 and 2025 from his music.

He could face life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted. Los Angeles county prosecutor Nathan Hochman said the preliminary hearing, in which a judge will determine whether the case proceeds to trial, will last "three to five days." "We believe we will more than accomplish the evidentiary burden of probable cause at this point to hold David to answer on these three felony charges," Hochman told the press.

Amitabh Bachchan has recently reacted to the speculation surrounding his health after social media became concerned over his blog mentioning surgery and the ICU. The 83-year-old Bollywood superstar revealed that he has not undergone any surgery and fans misunderstood the post.

I was giving an example of how difficult the period after ICU and surgery is when you come home and have to deal with that damaged condition," he said. Bachachan further added, "So, when a champion loses, the most difficult time is when you have to deal with it. I was talking about Argentina's defeat in the FIFA World Cup.

<h2>Shabana Azmi</h2><p>The veteran actress was the only prominent celebrity at #SansadChalo protest march in New Delhi on Monday. Azmi stressed that the protest was peaceful and rooted in constitutional values. "All of us who are here have come for a peaceful protest, to exercise the right granted to us by our country's Constitution. Mahatma Gandhi taught us how to conduct a peaceful protest, and we have come here on that very foundation. We have absolutely no intention of causing any kind of violence, and we stand here firmly in that hope," she said.</p>

<h2>Ishaan Khatter</h2><p>Khatter shared an image from the protest that read as, “Loyalty to the government is not patriotism. Loyalty to the constitution is.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Ishaan Khatter's story

<p>Not just Bollywood, but several actors from south India, too have expressed concern over the violence that took place on Monday in what should have been a peaceful march. Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas took to Instagram and shared, "When the future generation of a nation speaks up, and their voices are met with repressive force, it is the future itself that is being stamped down. It is faith in democracy that is being drained away.<br><br>What did these students do wrong? Did they destroy property? Did they resort to violence? What exactly did they do to deserve this treatment?<br><br>To every person protesting for a just cause, peacefully, in any part of our country, I extend my wholehearted solidarity. The right to dissent is not a threat to democracy; in fact it is one of its foundations."</p>

<p>Parvathy Thiruvothu shared videos of police crackdown on students protesting, questioning the government's lack of apathy for dialogue.&nbsp;</p>

A growing number of celebrities from the film fraternity have been expressing support and solidarity to the CJP-led protest against the NEET paper leak controversy. From Shabana Azmi to Huma Qureshi to Diljit to Ishaan Khatter- many have spoken in support of students on social media. 

As the protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over the NEET exam paper leak rages on, many prominent film celebrities have spoken out in support of the movement led by Cockroach Janta Party and condemned the hard police crackdown on demonstrators in the capital on Monday, July 20. A day after violent confrontation on the streets of Delhi, several actors and singers have backed the students and called for dialogue. Here are some of the celebrities who have extended support to the CJP-led protest and condemned police violence. Diljit Dosanjh Punjabi actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh, who had earlier distanced himself from the protest, on Tuesday criticised the police action against students. "Whatever happened is sad. Students should not be treated like this," the singer posted on Instagram on Tuesday morning. Calling the "voice of the people" the "voice of God", Dosanjh urged authorities to "listen to the students' grievances". Pointing out that he was called "anti-national" for speaking out during the farmers' protest, the singer said he had to suffer a lot and "will again be called anti-national".

"We stand in solidarity with the youth of our country. Their voices deserve to be heard - loud, clear, and without fear. They are the heartbeat of our democracy and the true architects of our nation's future. Let us listen, support, and empower them. The energy, courage, and dreams of our young people will shape the India we aspire to build," the couple posted on X.

<p>However, Bachchan has not shared when he underwent the surgery. &nbsp;Because he was quite active in July and June.

In the month of July, he made several appearances on a weekly basis, and he appeared physically fine.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/fact-check-was-naseeruddin-shah-in-new-delhi-for-the-jantar-mantar-student-protest-1784630037890">Fact Check: Was Naseeruddin Shah in New Delhi for the student protest?</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In May, it was reported that the actor was admitted to Nanavati Hospital.
