A few weeks ago, it was announced that Prabhas and Deepika Padukone will be seen in filmmaker Nag Ashwin’s next. It will be a multi-lingual film and will be produced by Vyjayanthi Movies.

Big B took to Instagram to inform everyone about joining the cast of the untitled film. He posted, “An honour and a privilege to be a part of this momentous and most ambitious venture .. and my greetings for the completion of 50 years for Vyjayanthi Movies .. may you celebrate another 50 .. and on .. !!? . . @actorprabhas @deepikapadukone @nag_ashwin @VyjayanthiMovies @swapnaduttchalasani @priyankacdutt.”

The makers also shared a video in which they have stated that how they can make a legendary film without the legend Amitabh Bachchan.

While Big B has worked with Deepika Padukone earlier in Piku and Aarakshan, this will be for the first time we will get to see the megastar sharing screen space with Prabhas.

Well, just yesterday, there were reports of Big B starring in Apple TV’s series Shantaram and today here’s an announcement about a film. We must say at the age of 77, Amitabh Bachchan is the most active Bollywood actor. He also has films like Brahmastra, Jhund, and Chehre in his kitty.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.

As we come together to mark World Leprosy Day on Sunday 26 January, we are reminded that leprosy remains a symbol of stigma and despair for millions.
