\r\nMalaika Arora on Special Songs.Malaika Arora redefined item songs on the big screen giving sleepless nights to all with her beauty and oomph factor.\r\nSpeaking to scribes, Malaika said \"Earlier, they were mostly about glamour and spectacle, often detached from a woman&rsquo;s individuality. Today, filmmakers are more conscious they integrate these numbers into stories with stronger character context. It&rsquo;s less about being provocative and more about performance and presence. I see it as an evolution where women can own their space.\"\r\nShe added \"Yes, item songs have often been linked to the male gaze, but I&rsquo;ve always looked at them differently. For me, dance is about confidence and expression. When I perform, I focus on enjoying the moment and bringing my own energy to it. As long as I feel comfortable and in control, that&rsquo;s what matters most. It&rsquo;s about celebrating the art and having fun with it rather than overthinking the labels.\"\r\nShe continued \"age doesn&rsquo;t define your capacity to perform or inspire.\" and pointed \"showing that you can stay relevant and passionate at any stage\".\r\n

\r\nRavi Mohan shares his thoughts on Bro Code legal tussle. Ravi Mohan landed in trouble when he named one of his film as Bro Code. Bro Code happens to be the brand of Indospirit Beverages.\r\nWhile he got the respite from Madras High Court to use the title, Delhi High Court however prevented him from using the name. Now Ravi Mohan came up with a pressnote as to why the legal tussle arose.\r\nThe note reads: &ldquo;RaviMohan studios registered its copyright BroCode Title for its script and its artistic work in the Entertainment category. #BroCode beverages team have asked RaviMohan to promote their brand in the film. RaviMohan refused it, as it would set a wrong example.&rdquo;\r\nHe also claims that the beverage company approached Delhi HC after that and did not challenge the Madras HC&rsquo;s order, &ldquo;So the beverage company has registered a case at Delhi against this Title and not challenged the Madras High Court verdict so far. Madras High Court continues to uphold @RaviMohanStudio&rsquo;s rights over the title #BroCode, restraining Delhi Indo Beverages. Interim order extended till 21 Nov 2025.&rdquo;\r\nHe ended the note with, &ldquo;Also, the beverage company is planning to launch their brand in TN, so they have started this publicity stunt to push the brand in TN.&rdquo;\r\n

According to the CM, the Congress government will issue a Government Order (GO) to allow ticket price increases for big movies only if 20% of the movie\'s income is given to film workers.

The Telugu film industry will be featured in the \'Telangana Rising 2047 Vision Document\' to promote Hyderabad as a global film production center.

\r\nVivek Oberoi on Ramayana. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash\'s Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari is the cynosure of all eyes. The film is releasing in two parts and the first part will be releasing during Diwali 2026 and the second one during Diwali 2027.\r\nIn the meantime, Vivek Oberoi speaking to scribes, shared his thoughts. He said &ldquo;What Namit (Malhotra, producer) and Nitesh are doing is that through \'Ramayana\', they are truly taking Bhartiya cinema to the global stage. \'Ramayana\' is going to be India&rsquo;s answer to Hollywood epics. It helps that they are associated with a company that has won almost seven to eight Oscars in VFX, and they have already done such iconic stuff. To take in a truly Indian-rooted epic, it can&rsquo;t get bigger and better than \'Ramayana\' and to actually take it to the global sphere, that&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s exciting,&rdquo;\r\nHe shared &ldquo;There is always the battle between whether \'Ramayana\' is mythological or historical, we believe it is historic, and it was great working on it. I was so happy and it was a lot of fun working with the whole crew, Namit, Nitesh, (actors) Yash, Rakul (PreetSingh). I still have a couple of days shoot left,&rdquo;\r\nThe film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Raavan. The cast also includes Lara Dutta, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, Adinath Kothare, and Sheeba Chaddha in key roles.\r\n
