Madras High Court rejects Tamannaah Bhatia’s plea against Power Soaps limited

The Madras High Court has dismissed an appeal filed by actor Tamannaah Bhatia, who had sought Rs. 1 crore in damages from Power Soaps Limited over the alleged unauthorised use of her images after the expiry of a commercial agreement, as per a report by Bar and Bench. A Division Bench comprising Justices P Velmurugan and K Govindarajan Thilakavadi upheld an earlier ruling by a single judge, concluding that the actor had failed to prove that her photographs were used beyond the agreed contractual period. The matter stems from a 2008 endorsement deal under which Bhatia had allowed the company to use her images for promoting its soap products for one year, until October 2009. According to the actor, Power Soaps continued to use her photographs on product packaging, advertisements and online platforms during 2010–2011, even after the agreement had lapsed. She argued that this unauthorised use affected her professional opportunities, particularly as she was in discussions with rival brands...

Ranveer Singh's new visual grammar screams supremacy: the man who shocked Bollywood with flamboyance now rules it with finesse

There was a time when Ranveer Singh dressed as if fashion itself were a live performance. He wore the impossible, the theatrical and the outrageous with a kind of joy that very few male stars in Hindi cinema have ever possessed. His style was not merely loud; it was disruptive. It challenged the safe, repetitive masculinity that Bollywood men have long hidden behind. And in 2022, when he did the now-iconic PAPER magazine nude shoot, he took that defiance to its most extreme form, turning his own body into a statement of confidence, provocation and total fearlessness. Now, in the post-Dhurandhar phase, the visual grammar has changed. The harem pants, exaggerated silhouettes and riotous prints have made way for sharply cut suits, bandhgalas and tailored eveningwear. Recent public appearances have underlined that shift, with Ranveer stepping out in a black bandhgala and embracing a visibly more controlled, understated public image. Even commentary around him has begun to note that his cl...

Brahmastra 2 to move forward after Ramayana, says Namit Malhotra at CinemaCon 2026

Namit Malhotra has confirmed that Brahmāstra Part Two is moving ahead, though it will take shape after work on Ramayana is completed. The producer shared the update during the global promotional launch of the mythological epic at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas, where he appeared alongside actor Yash. The announcement has renewed interest in the planned continuation of the Astraverse, nearly four years after the first film was released in 2022 and teased a larger narrative centred on Dev and Amrita. Speaking about the sequel’s timeline, Malhotra indicated that the next chapter of the franchise will follow once Ramayana reaches completion. Astraverse to continue after Ramayana wraps up Malhotra’s update marks one of the clearest indications yet about the future of the Astraverse since director Ayan Mukerji began hinting at further developments after the release of Brahmāstra.
