Months after Pixar at D23 Expo confirmed that a sequel to their Oscar-winning animated film Inside Out is in the works, Mindy Kaling, who starred as Disgust in the much-loved film, has confirmed that she will not be returning for Inside Out 2.

Talking to a publication, Kaling revealed that she is not a part of the upcoming sequel.  “I had a great time working on Inside Out and am sure Inside Out 2 will be great. But I am not working on it,” she told The Wrap.

Inside Out revolves around Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), and Disgust, the central emotions of Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). Relay is an 11-year-old hockey player who is trying hard to keep her emotions in line after a move to California that disrupts her entire emotional state.

Kaling is not the only star who is not a part of the sequel. Hader will also not be returning to his character as Fear. Surprisingly, Inside Out director Pete Docter is also not associated with the project anymore. Instead, Kelsey Mann has been hired to take the franchise forward. Mann, who co-wrote The Good Dinosaur, will make her feature film directorial debut with Inside Out 2.

Meanwhile, Mindy Kaling is presently waiting for the release of her highly anticipated animated series Velma, a spinoff of the beloved but family-friendly Scooby-Doo series. It follows the origin story of Velma Dinkley (Kaling), the brainiac of the Mystery Inc. gang. After a corpse is found in her high school, Velma teams up with Daphne (Constance Wu), Shaggy (Sam Richardson), and Fred (Glenn Howerton) to solve the murder.

HBO Max has set a January 12, 2023, release date for the series.

Anurag Kashyap booked for 'will urinate on Brahmins' comment, apologises for crossing the line

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is at the centre of a legal and public controversy after his social media comment targeting the Brahmin community triggered backlash and police action. A formal complaint was lodged in Raipur by Pandit Neelkanth Tripathi, a key member of the Rashtriya Brahman Mahasangh, prompting local police to file an FIR under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for allegedly promoting disharmony and offending religious sentiments.

Kashyap’s remark, made in response to a social media user who insulted him, was widely seen as offensive and derogatory towards Brahmins. The filmmaker admitted to responding in anger and acknowledged that his choice of words was inappropriate. In his apology, Kashyap said he acted out of character and hurt not just the community but also people close to him. “In the heat of the moment, I lost my temper and said things I shouldn’t have,” he wrote, stressing that many Brahmins have been part of his personal and professional life.
