Banks posts screenshots and criticises McGregor

The screenshots shared by Banks appeared to show McGregor sending explicit images, including one with a caption referencing lifting weights. In one of her tweets, Banks questioned the motive behind the alleged messages, writing, “How are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer dick then threaten me not to tell?”

She further claimed that the pair had been exchanging “unsolicited nudes” since 2016, adding that she had never met McGregor in person. The rapper also made a reference to his birthday and mocked speculation about his potential political ambitions in Ireland.

Platform removes content and suspends Banks

The original tweets, which featured the explicit photos, were taken down by X (formerly Twitter) for violating its guidelines. Banks later revealed that her account had received a 12-hour suspension as a result. She acknowledged the penalty on Instagram, writing, “Got me. It’s been fun.”

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
