India won its 9th Asia Cup in a thrilling final last night, defeating Pakistan in Dubai. However, after the match, India refused to accept the trophy or medals from ACC President and Pakistan’s PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi, citing tensions between the two countries, especially after the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year. Several Indian celebrities took to social media to celebrate India’s win and congratulate the team. Some also trolled the Pakistan team.

Actor Anil Kapoor wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “India Zindabad.” Superstar Mammootty shared a picture and expressed, “Team India didn’t just win the Asia Cup, they owned it. Champions without a single defeat. Absolutely magnificent!”

Anupam Kher added, “Bharat Mata ki jay! Kya baat hai (Wow)! What a game! Oh my God. Jeetenge bhai jeetenge. Bharat Mata ki jay (We will win. Hail India)! Vande Mataram. Khush ho gaya dil. Kya bolun main (I’m so happy. What do I say?). Superb. Proud of my country, proud of this cricket team. Fantastic, very well played. God bless them.”


Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan took this opportunity to troll former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar. For some context, Akhtar recently made a slip of the tongue and referred to Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma as Abhishek Bachchan. He said in an interview, “If Pakistan manage to get Abhishek Bachchan out in a hypothetical situation, what happens to India’s middle order?” before he was quickly corrected by the host. Reacting to this, Abhishek had tweeted, “Sir, with all due respect… don’t think they’ll even manage that! And I’m not even good at playing cricket.”

 

Big B referred to this while trolling the Pakistan team after their defeat. He wrote, “Jeet Gaye! Well played ‘Abhishek Bachchan’ Udhar zabaan ladkhadai, aur idhar bina batting, bowling fielding kiye, ladkhada diya dushman ko!! Bolti bandh! Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Maa Durga!! (We won! Well played ‘Abhishek Bachchan’. A slip of tongue there, and here a slip on the field, we shut down the opponent with our perfromance! Hail Maa Durga)



Several other celebrities, such as Sidharth Malhotra, Ali Fazal, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ranveer Singh, Angad Bedi, Preity Zinta, Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, among others, cheered for India. Take a look at their reactions:



The Ba***ds of Bollywood actor Raghav Juyal, who was in Dubai, told ANI, “Bohot acha laga aaj. Aur main apne bacchon ko bataunga ki main ye legendary match dekhne aaya tha. Bilkul kamaal ho gaya (It felt so good today. I will even tell my children that I came to watch this legendary match. Absolutely amazing).”

Will Mammootty return as Moothon in future Lokah films? Director Dominic Arun says it’ll take ‘lot more convincing’

Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra introduced a character called Moothon, voiced by Mammootty. Here’s what Dominic Arun says about it. 

Dominic Arun’s Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra might have introduced Kalyani Priyadarshan as a yakshi (vampire) named Neeli/Chandra, but the superhero universe has a lot more in store. Apart from Dulquer Salmaan and Tovino Thomas’ cameos as an odiyan (shapeshifter) named Charlie and a goblin named Chathan, respectively, the film also saw Mammootty voice Moothon – the leader of these superheroes. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Dominic reveals whether the audience will see Mammootty in future films.

Mammootty’s Moothon is a leader of superheroes in Dominic Arun’s Lokah.

Dominic revealed that while discussing the story, he told Dulquer, who produced the film, that it would be his wish to see Mammootty as Moothon. When he got the chance to narrate the story, the Malayalam star initially said he would ‘think about it’. It’s only after shooting was wrapped up that the actor saw a cut of the film and agreed to dub for the character.

However, despite Moothon being an important part of the Lokah universe, Dominic isn’t sure if Mammootty will play the role. He said, “I believe Mammootty sir still needs a lot more convincing if he is to continue playing Moothon in future films.” While the character won’t be seen in the next part, which will be headlined by Tovino’s Chathan, Dominic says the leader will return for future films.

Talking about the character’s return, he said, “Not the next one, but down the line, we will get to see him in his full potential. Moothon is like the prime character in the universe, and like everyone else, I too hope it’ll happen with Mammukka.”

About Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra

Lokah is directed by Dominic and produced by Dulquer under Wayfarer Films; it is part of a planned five-film franchise. It has crossed the ₹200 crore mark worldwide, becoming the first female-led film in Malayalam to do so. It is also one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films ever made.

Lokah tells the story of Chandra (Kalyani) moving to India on Moothon’s orders. Her neighbour Sunny (Naslen) falls for her at first sight, only to realise there’s more to her. The misogynistic Inspector Nachiyappa Gowda (Sandy) is hot on their heels as they find themselves embroiled with an organ trafficking ring.
