A couple of weeks ago, it was announced that Prabhas will be teaming up with filmmaker Om Raut for a movie titled Adipurush. The actor will be seen playing the role of Lord Ram in the film.

It was said that Saif Ali Khan, who had worked with Raut in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, will be seen as an antagonist in the film. Well now, the makers have officially announced that Saif will portray the role of the demon, Lankesh.


Yesterday, Om Raut had shared on Instagram a poster that read, “7000 years ago existed the world’s most intelligent demon! Tomorrow 7:11 AM.”

His post had clearly hinted that the makers would be announcing the antagonist of the film, and today Raut announced that it is none other than Saif Ali Khan. Well, Kareena Kapoor Khan is also super excited to see her hubby as the villain.

She took to Instagram to share the poster of the film and captioned it as, “Presenting the most handsome devil in history... my man Saif Ali Khan ❤️❤️ #Adipurush #Lankesh #SaifAliKhan @actorprabhas @omraut @bhushankumar @vfxwaala @rajeshnair29 @tseriesfilms @retrophiles1 @tseries.official #TSeries.”

Saif has always impressed us when he played a negative role in a movie. He clearly gave of the best performances of his career in this year’s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior in which he played the role of evil Udaybhan Singh Rathore.

Well, it will be Prabhas vs Saif in Adipurush and we can clearly say that we are in for a treat on the big screen.

Birmingham's Asha's remembers Asha Bhosle who called every diner her guest

Highlights

  • Bhosle opened Asha's Birmingham in 2006 as her first UK restaurant.
  • Manager recalls her personal involvement in maintaining every dish and standard.
  • Co-owner Paul Bassi CBE vows to keep her legacy and music alive.
Staff at Asha's Indian Restaurant in Birmingham are mourning the loss of their founder Asha Bhosle, the legendary playback singer who died aged 92 in Mumbai following a heart attack.
For those who worked alongside her, the grief runs deeper than losing a cultural icon , they have lost someone who treated the restaurant as her own home and its team as family.
Manager Noumann Farooqi told BBC that Bhosle was "more than an icon to us, she was like a family member." He recalled how she stayed deeply involved in the restaurant's standards despite her global stature.
"She was a very down to earth person despite her high status, always caring and asking about the team and our families," he added. She was never content to simply lend her name to the brand.
"She just wanted to make sure that whatever she was cooking in her kitchen was done the same way in the restaurant," Farooqi added. She regularly travelled to gather fresh ideas to improve the menu and dining experience.
"She always said, 'All of these restaurants are my home, and all the people dining are my guests'. She wanted us to understand that, he added".
Co-owner Paul Bassi CBE described her passing as "an immense loss," saying she was "not only the voice that inspired generations, she was also our beloved founder."
Bassi's vivid comparison captured just how significant her presence felt. "Her coming to our restaurant was a bit like having Madonna and Beyoncé all wrapped up in one," he said.
Since opening on Newhall Street, the restaurant has welcomed celebrities including Tom Cruise, Pink and Ed Sheeran.
The two-time Grammy nominee was cremated at Mumbai's Shivaji Park with full state honours.
Bassi confirmed the restaurant will stay open, continue playing her music and build on everything she created. "She always told us the show must go on," he said.
