Shanker Raman is a well-known cinematographer and he made his directorial debut with the film Gurgaon which released in 2017. The film starring Akshay Oberoi, Ragini Khanna, and Pankaj Tripathi had received good reviews.


Now, according to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Raman is all set for his next directorial and it will star Vikrant Massey and Sanya Malhotra in the lead roles. A source told the tabloid, “He wanted to cast young actors as the script demands freshness, and it was an instant ‘yes’ from both Sanya and Vikrant, who loved the subject. The duo will be seen in a completely new space in this yet-untitled film.”

Meanwhile, Sanya is currently busy with the promotions of Ludo which is slated to release on Netflix on Diwali this year. The actress also has a film titled Pagglait in her kitty.

Talking about Vikrant, the actor was last seen in recently released (Netflix) film Ginny Weds Sunny. He has movies like Yaar Jigri, Haseen Dillruba and 14 Phere lined-up. After wrapping up Haseen Dillruba with Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant will start shooting for 14 Phere next month. The movie stars Kriti Kharbanda opposite him.

There have been reports that Vikrant will be seen in the Hindi remake of Tamil thriller Maanagaram. However, the movie has not been officially announced.

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.
