[Update] Future’s Team Denies Role In V*olent Tokyo Nightclub Brawl As A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s Camp Takes The Heat

Future’s team is clearing the air after chaos broke out at a Tokyo nightclub over the weekend.

“Future’s crew was not involved in the ‘Magic City’ brawl whatsoever,” Future’s team shared in a statement with TMZ.

All eyes are now on A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and his entourage, who were caught in a massive brawl that erupted inside Zouk Japan during the Magic City Takeover event. The Bronx rapper was seen in the thick of it, standing on a platform in bright yellow Air Jordan 5s, reportedly looking for something to throw.

Eyewitnesses say A Boogie’s team appeared to be the most aggressive in the melee, though it remains unclear what sparked the v*olence. A clip obtained by TMZ shows the aftermath of the brawl, with money scattered across the floor and dancers fleeing the scene. No arrests have been reported at this time.

Halsey defends Sydney Sweeney amid ad controversy

Sydney Sweeney trained relentlessly for Christy role

Sydney Sweeney spent three months training for her role in Christy.

Sydney Sweeney trained hard for her role in Christy

The 28-year-old star plays female boxing trailblazer Christy Martin in the upcoming movie and overhauled both her diet and exercise regime during the time she had to prepare physically for the part.

In a Q+A at Hamptons International Film Festival, Sydney recalled: “Every morning I would weight train for an hour, then I would go and do boxing for three hours, and then another hour of weight training at night. I did that every single day for three months, with a nutritionist, so eating a bunch of food and protein shakes and supplements. I, in that span of time, gained, like, 35lbs.”

Sydney explained that Christy was “very involved” during the making of the film and felt that her presence was invaluable as she was keen to perfect her portrayal of the boxer.

The Echo Valley actress said: “She kind of became my best friend. Having her with us was a really powerful experience.

“I’ve never had the person who I’m portraying watch me. You’re never really sure what they’re thinking. But as it went on, I just wanted her there the entire time because I was able to study her and listen to her and have her thoughts and opinions there whenever I needed.”

Sweeney added: “I try to lose myself completely for a role, so I try not to carry any of my own stuff into their life. But I honestly learned so much from Christy that I applied to myself.”

The Euphoria star previously stated that she was determined not to use a stunt double for any of the boxing scenes featured in the movie.

Sydney said: “Every single fight you see, we are actually punching each other. We are going full force.

“I always believed that you would not be able to make it feel real if it’s a stunt double or if it’s faking the hits.”

Christy Martin became the most well-known female boxer in the US during the 1990s and was also the victim of an attempted murder by her abusive husband James Martin in 2010 – with Sweeney shocked that her story hasn’t been told on a “global” level.

She told Vanity Fair: “I was blown away that her story wasn’t more known on a universal, global level because it’s just one of the most harrowing and inspiring women that I’ve ever met in my entire life.”

Alan Partridge writers on “awful” Katherine Kelly role in How Are You?

by jummy84 October 1, 2025

written by jummy84

For Alan, life is something of a mixed bag at the moment, having lost his cushty BBC presenting gig (see This Time), but finding companionship with new girlfriend Katrina (Kelly).

Speaking at the press launch of the series, How Are You? co-writer Neil Gibbons explained that the team has moved on from the era of Alan as a “kicked puppy”, as seen in the travel tavern days of I’m Alan Partridge.

But they’ve found a “new flavour” of torment for the character from Katrina.

“On the face of it, he sort of has everything. He’s got quite a good house, he’s got quite a good car. He’s getting a lot of low-level, but quite lucrative work,” continued Neil, who co-writes with brother Rob Gibbons and Coogan himself.

“And he’s got a girlfriend who’s younger than him, who’s beautiful, who’s quite a figure in the community. But [she’s] just an awful, awful woman. And as the series goes on, you do see Alan struggling with what – on paper – is clearly a good deal for him souring quite badly.”

Coogan added that they were looking to create a female character who would be able to easily deflect Alan’s misogynistic tendencies and challenge him in ways neither Lynn (Felicity Montagu) nor ex-girlfriend Sonja (Amelia Bullmore) ever could.

“Alan bullies Lynn quite a bit, although Lynn does actually get the better of Alan sometimes,” explained Coogan. “But we wanted someone who would have Alan on the back foot in a way he’s not with Lynn.

“We wanted someone who ‘wore the trousers’ and who he was obviously attracted to, but she was mercurial to him [and] he couldn’t quite understand who she was.”

Coogan went on to praise his modern Partridge collaborators, Neil and Rob Gibbons, for their work transforming Alan from a fairly broad comedy character to a more “three-dimensional” figure.

“Rob and Neil are really, totally comfortable with poignancy or pathos,” he concluded.

“Alan evolved under their stewardship to be more three-dimensional. So sometimes you can actually feel sorry for Alan, feel compassion for him and that is a much more humane execution of the character. That’s given it longevity.”

How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge) premieres on BBC One and iPlayer on Friday 3rd October 2025.

Rani Mukerji Was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s First Choice For Gangubai Kathiawadi Before Alia Bhatt Got The Role | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 October 1, 2025

written by jummy84

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi may have become a landmark film for Alia Bhatt, earning her a National Award at the 69th National Film Awards, but the role wasn’t always destined for her. In a recent interview, singer and television host Aditya Narayan revealed that Bhansali originally considered casting Rani Mukerji in the titular role.

In an interview with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa on their channel, Aditya talked about his professional ups and downs and how he later ended up working with Bhansali in close association. He told that after the flop of his 2010 debut film Shaapit, his career took a downturn. Although the music of the film became popular, the film itself was a flop, and Aditya remained unemployed for almost an entire year. He even remembered an instance when “a ₹2 PR person” did not want to represent him, and all of the offers lost overnight.

It took a turn when he got an offer for hosting on X Factor, where Bhansali was a judge. At Sonu Nigam’s behest, Aditya requested Bhansali if he could take his assistance as he was keen on learning filmmaking. Being initially skeptical, Bhansali didn’t even give him any work for the first week, expecting that Aditya wouldn’t survive. But once he saw his tenacity, Bhansali slowly started giving him work.

Aditya then disclosed that Bhansali had two scripts on his desk during this period—Ram-Leela and Gangubai Kathiawadi. “He showed us the two scripts and asked us which of them was better,” Aditya remembered. “I think he was thinking of making Gangubai Kathiawadi with Rani Mukerji around that time.”. I preferred Ram-Leela more.” Ultimately, Bhansali proceeded with Ram-Leela in 2013, starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, and held onto Gangubai Kathiawadi until he cast Alia Bhatt years later.

Gangubai Kathiawadi, based on a chapter from Hussain Zaidi’s Mafia Queens of Mumbai, tells the story of a young woman who is forced into prostitution and eventually becomes a powerful figure in Mumbai’s red-light district. The film also stars Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa, Shantanu Maheshwari, Ajay Devgn, and others. It was both a critical and commercial success, earning ₹211.5 crore globally.

Aditya Narayan is also currently featured in Ashneer Grover’s show Rise & Fall, while Bhansali is now busy with the production of his next magnum opus, Love & War, featuring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal, releasing in 2026.

Joey Graziadei Talks New ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Role, Injury Secrets and More (Exclusive)

by jummy84 September 30, 2025

written by jummy84

Joey Graziadei wasn’t quite ready to leave the ballroom. After The Bachelor Season 28 star won the Season 33 Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy with pro Jenna Johnson he’s back as the first-ever host of the Dancing With the Stars Official Podcast. He’s taken on an entirely new role, not unlike going from The Bachelorette to the lead of The Bachelor.

Instead of competing every week, Graziadei will be watching the performances closely and diving into what’s going on behind the scenes. Graziadei spoke with TV Insider about stepping into the hosting space, how he’s viewing the show in a completely new light, his secret injuries last season, and more.

How did you react to getting the call about staying in the Dancing With the Stars world with this podcast?

Graziadei: I was so excited when that call came through. Obviously, I stayed in touch with the whole family in general, especially the executive producers, and they knew that I really was looking to, after my time on Dancing With the Stars, get more into the hosting space and try to find those opportunities, just in any space, be able to do some more hosting. When the Dancing With the Stars call came to do something on the podcast side, it just seemed like a great fit. I was honored that they thought of me, super excited, and eager to get started, build that skill, and have an opportunity to really be a part of this new season, which everyone’s so excited about. There were a lot of emotions. There was excitement, there was relief, there were a lot of things that came through, but I’m honestly most of all just grateful that I got the opportunity.

ABC

Since you’re covering the season for the podcast, are you in the ballroom every week?

Graziadei: I’m going to be there almost every single Monday and Tuesday. That is the plan and what I want to be a part of. I guess the best way to describe it is I knew how it was on the show, where during the weeks, from Wednesday through Sunday, you’re kind of in your own little bubble, you’re in the studio, you’re working on your dance, but Monday is kind of when everyone comes together. That’s when they do the camera blocking. That’s when we start to get a feel for the ballroom and the dances that week. I really have made it a goal to try to be there on those blocking days, be able to catch up with everyone, and get a feel for what the dances are going to be like. And then the same thing for Tuesdays as well. I’m trying to be there the majority of the dance on Tuesday to get a feel for the sense of the ballroom when people are getting started. I think it’s just good to have a finger on that pulse before those dances come up, and then we’re shooting the podcast majority on Tuesdays after the show because we’re trying to get the reactions and what happens in real time. And then also it’s going to get to the point where we start talking to the eliminated couples, and we have to be there and available when that time comes.

You obviously have the perspective of someone who’s competed and won the show, but does watching and observing for the podcast make you look at the show differently now?

Graziadei: I definitely look at it with a different lens. After being on the show, it’s helpful to understand and relate to what the celebrities are going through, in terms of, for me, personally, how different it is. It’s funny. Sometimes I’m like, “Man, I wish I were just dancing.” It’s so exciting to see the energy in the ballroom and how excited all the celebrities are. And per usual, this is another one of those seasons that is a lot of great talent, but there’s a lot of great camaraderie. The different lens, for me, really is just an understanding of how difficult it is and trying to find a way to show how amazing the show is. In this podcast, we’re also touching on a lot of different things besides just the competition and what happens from week to week. We really want to start going and uncovering and talking about those things that people don’t see unless you have been on the show, or unless you go to a live show, whether that’s how the production crew works, how the stage managers work, everything from hair and makeup to costumes, there’s so many moving parts of this show that you have to be a pretty die hard fan to know about. And even the die-hard fans probably don’t get to see and uncover all those things. There’s a lot going into what we’re trying to do on the podcast. That’s probably one of my favorite things is just trying to shed light on how amazing these people are that really make up the show.

Danielle Fishel spoke about her injury in her video package. What did you do to stay injury-free last season?

Graziadei: I’ll be the first to admit I had plenty of injuries. It’s one of those things that, if it’s really bad, it gets talked about. I feel for Danielle, because I think there isn’t one person I know who has been on the show who hasn’t gotten some injury. It could be something really serious, like what happened with Danielle, and to have a small hamstring tear this early is obviously devastating, and I hope it just gets better for her. I remember after Week 3, I injured my heel during a backflip and had to dance my tango on a bruised heel. I think I had a small fracture in my heel, which could have been something that was nagging from before, but it just happened with the show. Most people don’t know is how many hours you put in consistently, and you’ve just got to keep dancing. It’s one of those things that you can be hurting, and everyone has a little nagging pain, or something serious like Danielle, but you want to be able to put as much time and energy into your dance as you can, to feel confident in what’s coming into it. For me, in terms of prevention, it took that Week 3 drive for me to have an injury. I was 29 years old the time, so I wanted to be invincible still, but I was like, “I need to still take care of my body.” They have a great PT team, and the people who have the ability to help on the show are unbelievable. You can go in to try to be able to have work done whenever something’s hurting, and just the stretching every single time before practice, and trying to make sure that you’re taking care of your body, you’re giving it rest, you’re icing, you’re elevating all those fun things from my heel to my shoulder to I think I had a little bit of a nagging knee pain at one point. I think the ones you see on the show are the ones that really get to the point that they have to adjust. It’s something that it’s obvious that there’s something that’s wrong, so they have to make a part of the story. People don’t know half the injuries that happen on the show, but it’s nice to highlight sometimes how hard it is. I give major props to Danielle for being able to push through and do as amazing as she did in the dance.

Was there anybody in these first two weeks who just took you by surprise?

Graziadei: I mean, how long do you have? I feel like this whole cast is unbelievable. Obviously, everyone has some type of dance background in a lot of ways. Out of this crew, there’s people that have danced back early on their life and have taken a long break. There’s people that have have zero dance experience whatsoever. I think I would say the two biggest surprises for me, and I shouldn’t say surprises because I think all the others are so talented, but one in particular was Lauren [Jauregui] in the first two dances. She’s a beautiful dancer, and I knew she was going to be a beautiful dancer, but I’m more amazed at how effortless she makes it look. I think, especially with the new style of the ballroom, how she’s moving across the dance floor and how elegant she’s been is so spectacular and something that I’m really amazed by in the first two dances because she’s done two dances where she’s had to be in frame, and she’s had to work with Brandon [Armstrong] to move across the floor. Obviously, everyone was blown away by Robert Irwin in Week 1, with the fact that him having no dance experience and looked as good as he did in his drive was unbelievable. That was such a dance that fit him, and props to Witney [Carson] for getting him ready in such a short period of time and for having him look the way he did. Dylan Efron is another where you can tell how much energy and effort he’s putting into it, and how he’s improved from Week 1 to Week 2 already is amazing. But if I’m being honest, I could go through each one of the cast and tell you how surprised I am by how strong they are. I just see the competition getting tougher.

You’re hosting this podcast, and you’ve said you want to continue to be in the hosting space. If somebody got sick or something, as we saw with Carrie Ann Inaba during premiere week, if they called you and asked you to guest cohost, would you do it?

Graziadei: I mean, right now, I’m open to any opportunity that would come my way. Obviously, I’m hoping that the people who are there are in good health and stay in the position that they’re doing because they’re doing such an amazing job. The judges and the hosts, with Alfonso [Ribeiro], Julianne [Hough], Carrie Ann, Bruno [Tonioli], and Derek [Hough], they’re the heart of the show from week to week. I’ve actually really enjoyed, on my side, being able to learn from them and to talk to them and see how they operate being on this side now. I’m definitely taking notes. I’m definitely holding on to what I can so I can learn. I’m just impressed at what they do every day. I’m so grateful to be in this hosting position right now in the podcast space to build this skill. If an opportunity arises at some point down the line, I will always be open to it, especially if they think of me and they think I’m able and willing to do it. That would be an honor. But right now, I’m just in that process of trying to learn and take it in each day.

An In-Depth Astrological Exploration Of The Age Of AI In The Entertainment Industry

Astrological Insight & Forecast On AI & Entertainment — Saturn’s Age-Old Role In Reshaping Showbiz Make Way For Human-Machine Collaborations

Artificial Intelligence has arrived like a tidal wave, transforming the entertainment industry in ways that few could have imagined. Films can now be written, edited, and even acted by algorithms. Music can be composed in seconds, and faces that never existed can command the screen. For traditional structures of show business, this is both exhilarating and unsettling. From an astrological perspective, such upheavals are not random. Saturn’s cycles have always coincided with deep restructuring, testing industries and cultures until only the most adaptive survive. With Saturn moving from Aquarius into Pisces, the twin forces of innovation and imagination are colliding, forcing the entertainment industry to rethink its foundations. To understand where we stand today, it helps to look back at how Saturn has repeatedly reshaped art, culture, and technology over the decades.

When Saturn entered Aquarius in the mid-1960s, the entertainment industry began to change in ways that echoed the very spirit of that sign. Aquarius is the sign of innovation, rebellion against tradition, and collective progress, and true to its symbolism, technology and culture reshaped how people experienced art and performance. Satellites like Telstar and Early Bird made it possible to broadcast live television across continents, turning entertainment into a global event. The Beatles’ performances and world news could suddenly be shared across oceans in real-time. At the same time, color television was moving into the mainstream, adding a vivid new dimension that audiences could no longer imagine living without. Music was undergoing a revolution of its own. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones were breaking away from tradition, and rock music became a vehicle for rebellion and individuality.

Youth culture, for the first time, emerged as the dominant tastemaker in fashion, film, and music. Cinema too was undergoing an upheaval, with the New Wave movements in Europe and directors like Stanley Kubrick pushing boundaries of storytelling and technology. Broadway embraced counterculture with experimental productions such as Hair. Behind the scenes, lighter cameras and portable sound equipment made it easier to film outside studios, giving rise to cinéma vérité and new forms of documentary realism. Psychedelic art and music expanded the imagination further, probing altered states of consciousness and changing how art was created and experienced.

These shifts were not accidental. Saturn in Aquarius tested the entertainment industry by dismantling conventions and introducing innovations that, though disruptive at first, laid the foundation for the decades that followed. The entertainment landscape that emerged carried Saturn’s signature: skepticism, experimentation, resistance, and finally, enduring change. A similar cycle unfolded when Saturn returned to Aquarius in the early to mid-1990s, a fertile period for entertainment innovation across the world and in India. The internet, powered by Mosaic and later Netscape, entered public life, and studios began experimenting with websites to market films and music.

In 1994, Sony launched the PlayStation in Japan, and by 1995, it had reached the West, transforming gaming into a global mass industry. That same year, the DVD format was announced, destined to replace VHS and digitize home video, while RealAudio foreshadowed streaming by making live internet audio possible. Film was revolutionized by CGI. Jurassic Park, released in 1993, proved that digital effects could create lifelike creatures, while Toy Story, released in 1995, became the first fully computer-animated feature film. Independent cinema rose through Sundance and Miramax, with directors like Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, and Richard Linklater reshaping the landscape.

At the same time, cable and satellite television expanded. In the US, niche channels multiplied, while in India, newly liberalized markets saw Star TV, Zee TV, Sony, MTV, and Channel V redefine home viewing. Cable operators mushroomed, Doordarshan’s monopoly collapsed, and audiences suddenly had choice and variety. Saturn in Aquarius once again dismantled the old order and seeded innovations that would dominate decades later. Another three decades on, in the 2020s, its return coincided with the rise of OTT platforms. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, JioCinema, Zee5, and SonyLIV became mainstream during the COVID-19 lockdowns, reaching every corner of the country. Regional cinema flourished, breaking through language barriers and finding pan-India audiences. Just as satellite TV dethroned Doordarshan in the 1990s, OTT has weakened Bollywood’s theatrical dominance today. And now Artificial Intelligence is adding yet another layer, from dubbing and subtitling in multiple languages to AI-driven personalization, reshaping not only what audiences watch but how they watch it.

Another major breakthrough of this era came in the editing room. Non-linear editing, or NLE, allowed filmmakers to abandon the old linear, reel-to-reel process and embrace a flexible, digital system. Avid’s Media Composer, launched in 1989, grew into a powerful force by the mid-1990s. The Oscar for Best Editing, awarded to The English Patient in 1996, which had been cut on Avid, confirmed that the industry was changing. Saturn in Aquarius demanded restructuring once again, and by the early 2000s, NLE had become the industry norm. Digital cinematography soon followed. George Lucas tested digital cameras for Star Wars: Episode I in 1999 and shot Attack of the Clones entirely on digital in 2002. The transition was slow, resisted by purists who loved celluloid, but by the early 2010s, digital filmmaking and projection had become dominant. As before, Saturn in Aquarius dismantled tradition and forced new technologies into place, leaving the industry transformed.

Nearly 60 years after the 1960s shift, and three decades after the revolutions of the 1990s, Saturn’s return to Aquarius has coincided with another technological upheaval, this time in Artificial Intelligence. The launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 and the explosive rise of AI-powered tools gave ordinary people access to powers once unimaginable. As in earlier cycles, the entertainment industry is the arena where this upheaval is being felt most keenly. AI can generate flawless actors who never age, compose music in moments, edit films, design soundscapes, and even write scripts. Just as the shift from black-and-white to color television changed storytelling forever, and just as digital editing and cinematography restructured filmmaking, AI is adding a new layer of vividness, interactivity, and possibility.

The Rise Of AI-Powered Tools Began With ChatGPT (Photo Credit- ChatGPT Screenshot)

The parallel with the counterculture of the 1960s is also striking. Then, young people drove the rebellion against convention with their music and their art. In the 1990s, young filmmakers embraced digital tools to bypass old hierarchies. Today, Gen Z and digital natives are the ones adopting AI most quickly, bypassing studios and using these tools to create films, songs, and visual art without gatekeepers. What once required massive budgets and armies of professionals can now be attempted by students with laptops. The youth today shoot YouTube videos and Instagram reels that go viral, and short films made on phones have gone on to win prestigious awards.

With AI, they will soon be able to produce full-fledged films on their computers, even if the technology is still evolving. Distribution has been democratized as well. Social media, YouTube, and OTT platforms have already weakened the stranglehold of theaters, television networks, and record labels. Anyone can release a film, song, or show online, and audiences themselves decide what succeeds. Saturn in Aquarius, which rules networks and collective systems, has ensured that creativity is no longer confined to those with access to traditional distribution channels.

Now Saturn has moved into Pisces, the sign where Venus, the planet of art and creativity, is exalted. Pisces governs imagination, illusion, and endings, and it is here that Saturn’s stern influence is being felt most directly in show business. Old systems of stardom may fade, studios that resist change may collapse, and careers built on traditional structures may not survive. Yet Pisces also rules dreams and boundless creativity, and under Saturn’s discipline, imagination is being shaped into usable and lasting forms. Out of endings, new beginnings will emerge.

Songs co-created by humans and algorithms, films starring entirely virtual casts, and interactive forms of entertainment that blend reality and dreams are no longer distant possibilities but the natural outcomes of this cycle. At the same time, Saturn in Pisces is testing the industry with new external pressures. Donald Trump’s policies, including the imposition of a 100% tariff on all movies made outside the US, are a reminder that political barriers can weigh as heavily as technological ones. For global cinema, such measures threaten to fragment distribution and restrict audiences, adding another layer of challenge while the industry is already being forced to reinvent itself under the influence of AI.

The symbolism of Pisces is evident in the rise of holographic performances of departed musicians, AI dubbing that allows actors to speak in dozens of languages with their own voices, and experiments with dream simulations and subconscious mapping. Voice cloning, text-to-speech, and AI-driven dubbing mean that, in theory, every piece of content could be available to everyone, everywhere. The implications are profound. Markets for entertainment will expand by transcending language barriers, cultures will gain new avenues to understand one another, and xenophobia could diminish as the world grows closer to being a true global village.

This runs directly against the rigidity that has defined linguistic and cultural boundaries for decades. At the same time, augmented reality and virtual reality are poised to take cinema into uncharted territory, where audiences will not only watch stories but step inside them, experiencing films as immersive worlds rather than passive spectacles. Entertainment is dissolving its limits, moving into realms once thought impossible. Yet Saturn ensures there are no shortcuts. Just as the dotcom boom ended with a crash that pruned away the unsustainable, AI in entertainment will face lawsuits, backlash, and a shakeout that eliminates the weak while forcing the survivors to endure and evolve.

When Saturn leaves Pisces in 2027 and enters Aries, the sign of new beginnings, the entertainment industry will not look the same. Stars may be partly digital, productions largely automated, and creativity increasingly a collaboration between humans and machines. What Saturn is dismantling now, it will rebuild then in bold and pioneering form. Seen as a cycle, the pattern is unmistakable. In the 1960s, Saturn in Aquarius oversaw the global spread of television, color broadcasting, and counterculture music, while in India, it coincided with the cautious beginnings of Doordarshan. In the 1990s, Saturn in Aquarius drove the rise of the internet, satellite TV, digital editing, CGI, and gaming, while in India it dismantled Doordarshan’s monopoly and opened homes to Star, Zee, and MTV.

In the 2020s, Saturn in Aquarius has opened the door to Artificial Intelligence, reshaping creativity and distribution globally, while in India, it has cemented the dominance of OTT and regional storytelling. Each time, Aquarius has broken old systems, democratized access, and introduced tools that seemed radical at first but soon became indispensable. Now, with Saturn in Pisces, we are witnessing endings, transitions, and reinventions, before Saturn enters Aries in 2027 to inaugurate a new beginning. The script of show business has always been rewritten under Saturn’s gaze, and this time, the collaboration is not just between humans but between humans and machines.

The Raja Saab Trailer Unveils Prabhas’ Dual Role: A Hero And A Victim In A Haunted Haveli | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 September 29, 2025

written by jummy84

Prabhas fans can finally celebrate, as the much-awaited official trailer of his next release The Raja Saab has been released — giving us a gripping sneak peek into what is shaping up to be a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. The film will make a grand theatrical debut on January 9, 2026, perfectly in line with the Pongal festival, building up fans’ expectations.

Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab is a welcome addition to the horror-comedy genre, and an interesting departure for Prabhas after a series of high-voltage action dramas. The trailer sets us into a colorful, spook-filled world populated by offbeat characters, ghostly shocks, and a dash of romance — all in line for a mass entertainer with a supernatural punch.

With Niddhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Ridhhi Kumar playing co-leads, the movie promises to feature robust female characters, each of which displays her own charm and energy on screen. Though Prabhas is brilliant as a charismatic character, juggling humor, mystery, and heroism, the supporting cast lends richness and energy to the story.

According to the source, it is also mentioned that among the original trio, only Kareena Kapoor will be featured in the film, while the casting for the other two leading roles remains uncertain. The source added, “Kareena has already shown interest in Crew 2, and is waiting to hear the full screenplay before signing the dotted lines.

It’s not confirmed as to whether Kriti Sanon and Tabu will reprise their roles in the Crew franchise, or if the makers will opt for a fresh cast featuring top actors.

Rosemary tied to stress relief, possible role in Alzheimer’s treatments: Study

Rosemary is not just a cooking herb anymore. Scientists are paying closer attention to its role in brain health, anxiety relief and even protection against Alzheimer’s disease. Rosemary has been tied to sharper memory for centuries. According to JSTOR Daily, in ancient Greece, students placed sprigs of rosemary in their hair before exams. Roman scholars used it during study sessions. Now, researchers say that tradition may have a basis in science.

A recent study found that people who inhaled rosemary aroma performed better on memory tests compared to those who did not, the Independent reported. The idea is simple: the scent stimulates blood flow, including to the brain, which may help deliver oxygen and nutrients more effectively.

How rosemary helps the brain

Rosemary contains 1,8-cineole, a compound that slows the breakdown of acetylcholine, a chemical the brain uses for learning and memory. By protecting acetylcholine, rosemary may support focus and cognitive function as people age.

It also offers a calming effect. Inhaling rosemary essential oil has been shown to lower stress, which in turn can boost memory retention. And because it is packed with antioxidants, rosemary helps guard brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, a major factor in dementia.

One of the most promising discoveries is carnosic acid, found naturally in rosemary. Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute created a synthesized version of it, called diAcCA, in early 2025. According to their study, when diAcCA was used to treat mouse models with Alzheimer’s disease, it reduced toxic Alzheimer’s proteins and improved memory.

“The compound is only active in areas of the brain undergoing inflammatory damage,” researchers explained, meaning fewer side effects are likely. Trials showed no toxicity and even growth in new synapses.

Senior author and professor Stuart Lipton, MD, PhD, the Step Family Foundation Endowed Chair at Scripps Research and a clinical neurologist in La Jolla, California, said that they “also took down other misfolded or aggregated proteins such as phosphorylated-tau and amyloid-β, which are thought to trigger Alzheimer’s disease and serve as biomarkers of the disease process.”

Benefits beyond memory

Rosemary’s impact is not limited to the brain. According to JSTOR Daily, for centuries, it has been used to ease digestion, reduce bloating and calm inflammation. Rosmarinic acid and ursolic acid, both present in rosemary, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.

The herb may also aid the skin. It helps with acne and eczema, while carnosic acid may protect against sun damage. Rosemary oil has shown antimicrobial activity, useful in food preservation and in fighting bacteria and fungi.

Sprinkling rosemary on food or using it in teas and oils is safe. But concentrated extracts in large doses can be dangerous, causing vomiting or, rarely, seizures. Pregnant women are advised to avoid high amounts.

Rosemary’s role in future Alzheimer’s treatments remains under study, but experts say its traditional uses for memory and stress are gaining real backing. For now, adding rosemary to meals, teas, or even just enjoying its scent may offer simple and surprising health benefits.

Lesley Ann Warren on His ‘The Limey’ Role

by jummy84 September 20, 2025

written by jummy84

When Terence Stamp passed away on August 17, he left behind a legacy of incredible performances, ranging from his breakthrough role as the title character in “Billy Budd” and assignments for European auteurs like Pier Paolo Pasolini (“Teorema”) and Federico Fellini (“Toby Dammit”) to his comeback role as General Zod in the “Superman” movies. Yet as good as all these films and many of his others are, there’s one Terence Stamp movie that gave him the part he was born to play: director Steven Soderbergh‘s “The Limey.”

Working with a razor-sharp script by his “Kafka” and “Haywire” collaborator Lem Dobbs, Soderbergh made “The Limey” a tailor-made showcase for Stamp’s distinctive blend of wry humor, brooding intensity, and icy charisma. Stamp plays Wilson, a British ex-con who travels to Los Angeles to avenge the murder of his daughter, whom he suspects was killed by aging music mogul Peter Fonda or someone in his orbit.

It’s a character that riffs on both earlier Stamp performances (most notably his work in Ken Loach’s “Poor Cow,” which is integrated into “The Limey” as flashback footage) and his personal biography as a 1960s icon, since Soderbergh and Dobbs use their revenge story as a vessel into which they can pour every idea they’ve ever had about the era and its unfulfilled promises. Wilson is one of the richest characters in Stamp’s oeuvre: regretful and resigned, hilarious and mournful, and deeply angry yet with flashes of tenderness.

The fervor with which Stamp attacks the role was evident right from the first table read, according to his co-star Lesley Ann Warren. “I did a read-through with Terence and Steven Soderbergh, and I was totally terrified,” Warren told an audience at the American Cinematheque. “He’s very imposing in real life. He was a very formidable man.”

The Cinematheque screened “The Limey” last week as part of its “Starring Terence Stamp” series, which runs through September 25 and features key Stamp works like “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” and William Wyler’s “The Collector.” Warren, who plays Elaine, a struggling actress who helps Wilson in his quest (she was his daughter’s acting teacher), participated in a post-screening Q&A to pay tribute to Stamp and talk about her experience on the movie.

“I had never met him, but I was such a fan of his from the time of ‘Billy Budd’ on,” Warren said, adding that the fact that she was intimidated by the actor fed her performance. “I was nervous, but it actually helped with the character because she’s so uncertain and suspicious and unsure.” Indeed, one of the movie’s many pleasures is the power of Warren’s quiet, understated portrayal of a lonely woman whose dreams have not worked out — a far cry from Warren’s more energetic and comic performances in movies like “Clue” and “Victor/Victoria.”

It’s a type Warren recognized from her years in Hollywood. “ I know some of those people and see what they go through,” she said. “Men and women who just keep trying and trying, and they get a little something, and it keeps them hooked. They work a lot of other jobs, and it’s all great, but there’s a kind of chronic heartbreak because you never really accomplished what you had come out here for or dreamt about doing.”

Understanding the character implicitly, Warren dressed the way she thought Elaine would dress for her first meeting with Soderbergh, and tried to be as low-key as possible. When she got the part, Soderbergh not only had the costume designer model Elaine’s wardrobe on what Warren wore to her audition, but was surprised to find that Warren was completely unlike her melancholy character. “I was laughing about something with the hairdresser one day, and Steven came over and said, ‘You’re not really a depressed person, are you?’ I said, ‘No, I was just trying to get hired.’”

According to Warren, Soderbergh almost never talked to her about her character or her performance — but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t directing. On the day of her most emotional scene, Soderbergh bugged Warren incessantly by telling her a long, bad joke right before she went on camera. “When we were done, I said, ‘Why did you do that?’ He said, “Because I know you, and if you start crying, you won’t stop.’ And I thought, that’s really true about me, how incredibly perceptive. So he directs in this very oblique way, never actually talking about the scene or what should happen. He gets you there without you even knowing what he’s doing. Brilliant.”

Warren found Soderbergh’s oblique way of directing perfect for an oblique script — and a movie that became even more oblique in the editing, as Soderbergh reshuffled the linear narrative to be out of order and more evocative of past memories than a present-day story being told with immediacy. “He changed the entire movie and made it into a kind of dream memory film,” Warren said, noting that that meant shooting the same dialogue scene in different locations and then cutting them together, so that they would feel more like memories where one isn’t quite sure of where certain things were said or heard.

“I had never done that,” Warren said, noting that the different locales helped bring added dimension to the scene every time she and Stamp played it. “The environment affected both of us. We walked and talked by the ocean in a different way, versus when we were in the apartment. There was an intimacy in the apartment that wasn’t there outside. It was as if it was a whole new scene.”

Although Soderbergh’s drastic restructuring left some key scenes on the cutting room floor — including a love scene between Warren and Stamp that she says was the first time she was finally able to relax a little — Warren was thrilled by the final result when she first saw the movie put together. “It was a whole other movie than I had anticipated, but I really loved it.”

Warren sat through the movie again at the Cinematheque, and said that even after seeing it multiple times, she never gets tired of Stamp’s performance — or of another actor who recently left us, Nicky Katt. “I miss Nicky Katt so much,” she said, adding that all of his comic dialogue as an inappropriate hit man was improvised. “He was so great, and Steven loved him.”

As for Stamp, “He’s so powerful and interesting and complex that I’m just as enthralled as I was in the beginning. I never tire of the performance. And I’m just struck by how new the movie still feels.”

“Starring Terence Stamp” runs through September 25 at the American Cinematheque.
