His fondest memory is eating fried rice with his father after his 9:30 pm bullet bike rides home. He never planned to act and entered cinema only after returning from Dubai.Today he is among Tamil cinema’s most versatile actors, known for realistic roles and offbeat choices. He credits early hardship for his work ethic. Despite fame, he continues to pursue business ideas alongside films, saying failure has taught him more than success ever did. - Veda

&nbsp;Bollywood star Aamir Khan married Gauri Spratt in a private registered ceremony at his Bandra home in July 2026. The event was attended by close family and friends. Following the news, Ayodhya based religious leader Jagadguru Paramhans Acharya announced a Rs 5 crore bounty on the actor.Acharya, head of Tapasvi Chhawani, told IANS he would reward anyone who attacks Khan and bear their legal costs. He accused Khan of promoting "love jihad" through marriage. The statement came after Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane called Khan a "brand ambassador of love jihad" and urged boycotts.Before political remarks, Bajrang Dal members protested by burning Khan’s effigy. They alleged he deliberately married Hindu women. Officials clarified Spratt is not Hindu. The marriage is Khan’s third, after Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, and was conducted privately without religious rituals.Police and public safety groups condemned the threats as incitement to violence. Legal experts say offering a bounty violates IPC sections on criminal intimidation. Khan has not responded publicly. The controversy has sparked debate on celebrity privacy, communal narratives, and freedom of personal choice in India. - Veda

&nbsp;&nbsp; Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey releases worldwide on July 17, 2026. The film was shot entirely on new 70mm IMAX film cameras for maximum detail. However Indian audiences will not get the 70mm format. All local IMAX screens will screen only digital versions of the epic.India currently has no working 70mm IMAX projector. Even the iconic Wadala IMAX Dome in Mumbai converted to IMAX with Laser digital projection in recent years. That means Indian viewers will miss the grain, brightness and scale Nolan intended for his $250 million Greek adventure.All Indian IMAX theatres now run on IMAX with Laser or Xenon digital systems. While they offer sharp 4K images and 12-channel sound, they cannot replicate the depth of 70mm film. Trade reports say maintaining film projectors became costly due to low demand and print availability.Fans will still get IMAX visuals, practical locations from Greece and Iceland, and Ludwig Göransson’s score in digital. But purists note the absence of 70mm limits the experience. For the true film print, viewers may need to travel to select US and UK IMAX venues.- Veda
