Popular content creator and actor Bhuvan Bam has alerted his fans and followers about a deepfake video of him that is being circulated on social media. The video, which falsely represents Bhuvan urging people to invest in tennis through a certain bookie’s predictions, has prompted a swift response from his team. Recently, deepfake videos have gained popularity, leading to significant losses and inconvenience for many.

Bhuvan Bam addressed the issue directly, urging people to be cautious. He said, “I want to alert all my fans and followers about a deepfake video of me that is making rounds on social media.

My team has already filed a complaint with the Oshiwara police station, and they are investigating the matter. I humbly request everyone not to fall for this video. Please stay safe and avoid making any investments that might lead to trouble or financial loss. It’s crucial to be vigilant and not get trapped by these deceitful baits.”

Pakistani actor Tauqeer Nasir claims Shah Rukh Khan copied his role in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna; slams Karan Johar for not giving him credit

Veteran Pakistani actor Tauqeer Nasir has sparked controversy by claiming that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan copied his work in the 2006 film Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.

Tauqeer Nasir expresses disappointment over uncredited Inspiration
Nasir, a recipient of prestigious awards like the Pride of Pakistan and Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, expressed his disappointment in a recent interview on YouTube channel Zabardast With Wasi Shah. He acknowledged Shah Rukh Khan’s talent but lamented the lack of recognition for his own contribution.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Parwaaz: A connection claimed
Nasir pointed towards a direct connection between his character in the Pakistani drama serial “Parwaaz” and Shah Rukh Khan’s role in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. He claime, “Even the detail of an injured leg, depicted in the film, was borrowed from my portrayal in the drama.”
Credit due to Mustansar Hussain Tarar & himself
Taking his claim a step further, Nasir argued that Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna itself drew inspiration from the story of Parwaaz, written by renowned author Mustansar Hussain Tarar. He believes that both SRK and filmmaker Karan Johar should have acknowledged their inspiration by crediting him and Tarar.

Varun Dhawan to kick off the shoot for David Dhawan’s romantic comedy on July 12 in Mumbai: Report

Varun Dhawan is gearing up for his fourth collaboration with his filmmaker father, David Dhawan. This project marks a return to familiar territory for both Dhawans, who have previously worked on the comedies like Main Tera Hero (2014), Judwaa 2 (2017), and the 2020 remake of Coolie No. 1.  However, this time around, they’re switching gears and stepping into the realm of romantic comedy. Details about the plot are still under wraps, but recent reports suggest Mrunal Thakur will be the leading lady opposite Varun Dhawan. Adding to it, Kannada actor Sreeleela will make her Bollywood debut.

According to a report in Mid-day, with filming set to commence on July 12 at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, the pre-production buzz is palpable. As per the report, sources reveal that elaborate sets have been constructed for the initial indoor shoots, which are likely to focus on Varun Dhawan’s character.  This initial phase will take place during the monsoon season, after which the production will shift to other locations.

Varun Dhawan, who recently welcomed a child, seems to be embracing fatherhood while balancing his work commitments. He will reportedly juggle this project with another film titled Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari directed by Shashank Khaitan. The tight filming schedule aims for a completion date around Diwali.

With filming about to begin, fans can expect more details to emerge in the coming weeks. The title of the film, plot specifics, and perhaps even a first look at the lead couple might be revealed soon.
