Kangana Ranaut claims Akshay Kumar and other stars secretly called her to praise Thalaivi trailer

By Murtuza Iqbal

Kangana Ranaut feels that the Bollywood film industry tries to sideline her and doesn’t support her films. She says that B-Town celebs never praise the trailer of her movies, the way they praise the trailer of movies featuring other actresses.


Recently, she took to Twitter and claimed that Akshay Kumar and many other stars secretly called and messaged her to praise the trailer of Thalaivi, but because of the movie mafia terror, they didn’t openly praise it.

Kangana tweeted, “Bollywood is so hostile that even to praise me can get people in trouble,I have got many secret calls and messages even from big stars like @akshaykumar they praised @Thalaivithefilm trailer to sky but unlike Alia and Deepika films they can’t openly praise it. Movie mafia terror.”

She further wrote, “Wish an industry of art can be objective when it comes to art, and not indulge in power play and politics when it comes to cinema, my political views and spirituality should not make me a target of bullying, harassment and isolation but if they do, then obviously I will win...”

Thalaivi, which is a biopic on Jayalalithaa, is slated to release on 23rd April 2021. It’s a trilingual film and will release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

There are lockdown-like restrictions announced in the many states of India because of which many filmmakers have decided to postpone the release of their movies. However, the makers of Thalaivi have not yet announced anything about postponing their film.

Black and mixed ethnicity children face systemic bias in UK youth justice system, says YJB chair

Highlights

  • Black children 37.2 percentage points more likely to be assessed as high risk of reoffending than White children.
  • Black Caribbean pupils face permanent school exclusion rates three times higher than White British pupils.
  • 62 per cent of children remanded in custody do not go on to receive custodial sentences, disproportionately affecting ethnic minority children.

Black and Mixed ethnicity children continue to be over-represented at almost every stage of the youth justice system due to systemic biases and structural inequality, according to Youth Justice Board chair Keith Fraser.

Fraser highlighted the practice of "adultification", where Black children are viewed as older, less innocent and less vulnerable than their peers as a key factor driving disproportionality throughout the system.
