A few weeks ago, Shah Rukh Khan kickstarted the shooting of Siddharth Anand’s Pathan. The movie is produced by Yash Raj Films, but the makers have not yet announced it officially.


Well, we haven’t even got a glimpse of the actor shooting for the film. Now, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Aditya Chopra, the head-honcho of YRF, has planned a grand unveiling of Shah Rukh Khan’s first look from the film on 1st January 2021.

A source told the entertainment portal, “Pathan is going to be Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest film till date, and Aditya Chopra is making sure of that. In fact, the grapevine is buzzing with reports that Adi and YRF are planning a grand unveiling of SRK’s look from Pathan on January 1, 2021.”

“As of now this unveiling is just unconfirmed reports, but an official announcement about the film will be made with this look unveiling. If you see, YRF has been tight-lipped about Pathan, but they will make sure to hype it up, and what better way than with an announcement to herald the New Year?” added the source.

Pathan will mark SRK’s comeback on the big screen after a gap of three years. His last film was the 2018 release Zero. Interestingly, the first look of Zero was also unveiled on 1st January (2018).

Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathan also stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone. Reportedly, the film will hit the big screens on Diwali next year.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.

The ECB’s decision follows a UK Supreme Court ruling last month which stated that the legal definition of a "woman" is based on a person’s sex at birth and does not include transgender women who hold a gender recognition certificate.

Lancashire bats for Indian board to join The Hundred

THE England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) should offer the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) a minority ownership stake in The Hundred to attract Indian players to the competition, Lancashire CEO Daniel Gidney has suggested.

“I think it’s possible. If I was the ECB, I’d be talking about perhaps bringing the BCCI in as a minority ownership partner in the tournament as a whole. If you do that, then you are aligning interests,” Gidney told the ESPNCricinfo website.
