Thalapathy Vijay\'s Jana Nayagan, his last film as a hero, has cleared the Revising Committee hurdle, with the panel screening the film in Mumbai yesterday. However, the film\'s fate now rests with the Election Commission due to certain political scenes and dialogues.\r\nThe film\'s certification process has been stuck in limbo for weeks, with multiple hearing postponements and legal battles. If the Election Commission grants approval, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) will issue the certificate, paving the way for the film\'s theatrical release.\r\nJana Nayagan\'s censorship issues stem from its political content, given Vijay\'s recent entry into politics with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. The Election Commission\'s decision will determine whether the film releases during the current election period or post-elections.\r\nThe Revising Committee\'s screening marks a significant step forward, with industry sources suggesting a resolution could come within days. Vijay\'s fans are eagerly awaiting his farewell performance as an actor before his full-time political career. With the film\'s release date pending, the team is expected to announce updates

Ranveer Singh\'s Dhurandhar The Revenge directed by Aditya Dhar is slated for a spectacular release on 19 March 2026. The film is the sequel to the hit film Dhurandhar.\r\nThere is immense craze for the project and in the midst of all this even Finland President and Canada Prime Minister discussed about Dhurandhar.\r\nWhen Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met in London, and the conversation veered to talk about Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar. This has somehow brought the spy thriller into the global political conversation.\r\nOn Tuesday, the Finnish President shared a video on his Twitter (now called X) account, showing him jogging through London\'s Hyde Park with Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada. The clip shows Stubb and the Canadian prime minister running alongside their spouses. Carney asks Stubb about his social media popularity, which surged during his visit to India. \"How was your Insta thing in India?\" Carney asks in the video. To this, Stubb responds, &ldquo;It was huge after I talked about Dhurandhar. I did not realise that.&rdquo;\r\nThe video has since been shared online by many Indian fans, including those of actor Ranveer Singh. \"Congrats @AdityaDharFilms @yamigautam @jiostudios. The PM of Canada is discussing about Dhurandhar,\" an Indian social media user commented.\r\nEarlier in the month, Stubb had praised Aditya Dhar\'s Dhurandhar during his visit to India. He revealed that he watched Dhurandhar on his son\'s recommendation before travelling to India. Speaking to ANI, the Finnish president said, &ldquo;Interestingly enough, before I came to India, my son suggested I should watch Dhurandhar. And I did. Of course, that was one part of the narrative of that movie. I am happy to fight against terrorism and look forward to the sequel on the 19th of March.&rdquo;

\r\nBadrinath Kedarnath temple committee asks Sara Ali Khan to submit faith proof. For long Sara Ali Khan and people of other religion have been visiting Hindu temples and renowned shrines.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nIn the midst of all this, Badrinath Kedarnath temple committee asked Sara Ali Khan to submit faith proof. The BKTC chairman Hemant held a press conference on Tuesday to announce that non-Hindus who have faith in Sanatan Dharma must provide a written declaration of being a Sanatani and believing in Hindutva to enter Badrinath and Kedarnath temple complexes. The BKTC unanimously approved a proposal on March 10 to ban the entry of non-Sanatanis into the temples.\r\nWhen specifically asked about Sara, according to PTI, he said, &ldquo;If Sara Ali Khan affirms that she holds faith and devotion towards Sanatan, and subsequently submits an affidavit to that effect, she will be granted darshan.&rdquo;\r\nThe BKTC has already standardised a format for this affidavit. The proposal has also been sent to the Uttarakhand government. This comes ahead of the Char Dham Yatra which will commence from April 19, with more than 6 lakh devotees having already registered. The Badrinath Dham will be open from April 23 and the Kedarnath Dham will be open from April 22.\r\nSara Ali Khan is yet to respond to these developments. Earlier she said &ldquo;I remember asking my mom, what am I. And she told me I&rsquo;m Indian. I don&rsquo;t look at it like that. I don&rsquo;t go to Kedarnath so I can get love for it. I did a movie and I got love for it, I am grateful for that love. But my personal trip to Kedarnath, with due respect to anybody that likes it or hates it, it&rsquo;s not about any of you. It&rsquo;s about me. And I feel comfortable there. I feel peaceful there. I feel happy there.&rdquo;\r\n

Paid premiere shows for Ranveer Singh\'s Dhurandhar 2 in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana have been cancelled due to unavailability of regional language content. The Hindi version will replace the regional shows, with theatres refunding ticket amounts.\r\nThe cancellation happened hours before the scheduled 5:30 pm premiere, citing unavailability of the second half of the Tamil and Telugu versions. Only the first half content was received, leading to the last-minute change.\r\nThe delay stems from a holdup in delivering regional content to theatres, with the Hindi version only arriving an hour ago. Dubbing work for Tamil and Telugu versions isn\'t complete, causing the premiere cancellation.\r\nDirected by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 is highly anticipated, releasing globally on March 19, coinciding with Eid weekend. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. Despite technical hurdles, excitement remains high for the film.
