Rajkummar Rao to star in the Hindi remake of Telugu film HIT

Telugu film HIT starring Vishwak Sen and Ruhani Sharma in the lead roles released in February this year. The movie had received a good response and now, the makers are all set for the Hindi remake of the film.

Rajkummar Rao has been roped in to play the lead role in the Hindi remake. The remake will be directed by Sailesh Kolanu who had also helmed the Telugu film. Sailesh took to Instagram to make an announcement about the movie.


He posted, “Finally the news is out ! I've been trying to hide the excitement for a while now ? now it's official !

Well, Rajkummar Rao has been in the industry for the past 10 years, but this will be his first South remake. While talking about being a part of the movie, Rao said, “When I saw HIT, I instantly connected with it. It’s an engaging story, relevant in today’s environment. As an actor I am always on the look out to play characters I haven’t explored and HIT gives me a chance to do that. I’m looking forward to take this journey with Sailesh & Dil Raju.”

Apart from HIT, Rao has some really interesting projects in his kitty right now. He will be seen in films like Ludo, Roohi Afzana, Chhalaang, and Badhaai Do. Reportedly, Ludo, Roohi Afzana, and Chhalaang might get a direct-to-digital release. However, there’s no official announcement about it.

Instagram removes DM encryption from today: What users should do to stay safe

Highlights

  • Instagram switches off end-to-end encryption just before federal deepfake law enforcement begins.
  • Meta can now read private messages it previously could not access.
  • Privacy experts warn against storing downloaded chats in Google Drive or iCloud.
Instagram is removing a privacy feature from May 8 that previously stopped the company from accessing the content of users’ direct messages.
The change comes just days before a new US federal law requires platforms to scan and remove harmful content.
The change affects users who turned on Instagram's end-to-end encryption option for direct messages.
Most Instagram users never switched on this feature, according to digital privacy expert Harry Maugans. For the small number who did, the protection ends on May 8.

End-to-end encryption works like a sealed envelope. The platform can see who sent a message and who received it, but cannot open it to read what is inside.

When Instagram removes this feature, it effectively removes the privacy layer that kept messages hidden. As a result, Meta would be able to access the content of those messages.
