The actor is keen on working with Atlee again, given their successful collaboration on Jawan. No final decision has been made yet, but fans are eagerly waiting to see if SRK returns to the Don franchise.\r\nRanveer Singh\'s priorities seem to have shifted, with him focusing on collaborations with filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Lokesh Kanagaraj.

\r\nCBFC chief reacts to Toxic teaser and Jana Nayagan controversy. Prasoon Joshi, chief of&nbsp; the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC), speaking to scribes shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding Yash\'s Toxic teaser and also Vijay\'s Jana Nayagan censor certification.\r\nHe said &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think I would give any comment right now.&rdquo; and added &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think unless the things are applied to the certification board. Sometimes, I also want to clarify that a lot of things you see on YouTube and other digital platforms, at times they are not certified. So people think that everything they are seeing is certified.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;Digital media, a lot of things you see, have not gone through the process of certification. So sometimes it&rsquo;s very unfair what people see on OTT, YouTube and other digital platforms, assume that this has been certified by the CBFC. And the truth is, it has not,&rdquo;\r\nHe concluded &ldquo;And nobody out there would see, it&rsquo;s a job, it&rsquo;s a tough job for people there. They (the CBFC board members) are trying to balance what the filmmaker is saying and what society expects. So there is a balance, and that&rsquo;s the role of this body,&rdquo;\r\nAbout Vijay\'s Jana Nayagan, he refused to comment saying the matter is subjudice.\r\n
