Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra has been in the making for the past few years. The release date of the movie has been postponed multiple times, and then earlier this year, the pandemic became a hurdle for the movie.


A few days ago, it was reported that the makers are planning to resume the shoot in November, and well, according to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy resumed the shooting of the film on Monday in Mumbai. It will be a 10-day schedule and later in January, Ayan will shot for two songs with Ranbir and Alia.

A source told the tabloid, “It’s a conscious decision to reserve the songs for next year because Ayan wants to shoot them on a grand scale with lots of background dancers. The team is optimistic that the on-ground scenario will improve by then. At the same time, they are exploring other mediums without compromising on the visuals.”

Well, it is said that during the lockdown Ayan was working on the VFX and the editing of the film. A few days ago, an entertainment portal had reported that Fox Star Studios, who is co-producing the film with Karan Johar, wants the run-time of the movie to be cut short by 30 minutes. Reportedly, the run time of the film’s rough cut was nearly three hours.

Brahmastra also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Gurfateh Pirzada. Earlier, this year the makers had announced that the film will release on 4th December 2020. But the new release date is yet to be announced.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The IMF has raised its forecast for British growth for 2025 by 0.1 percentage points to 1.6 per cent, making it the third-strongest among the Group of Seven advanced economies after the US and Canada.

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.

As we come together to mark World Leprosy Day on Sunday 26 January, we are reminded that leprosy remains a symbol of stigma and despair for millions. It continues to cast a shadow over these communities, robbing individuals of their dignity and opportunities. Yet, amidst these challenges, hope rises—not from the halls of global summits but from the villages where community members are stepping forward as changemakers.
