‘Dhurandhar’ shattered box office records and ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is currently on its way to do the same. The film has already crossed Rs 300 crore in cinemas in three days. While the internet can’t stop raving about the film, it has also got criticism for being extremely violent. In a recent interview, the film’s action director Aejaz Gulab revealed that only 60 percent of brutality is shown in the film. “We had shot all the brutality in detail, but what you see in the film is just 60%. Since we’re in the OTT era and kids may eventually watch it, we had to tone it down,” Aejaz shared in an interview with Hindi Rush. Shedding light on the filmmaking process, he added, “Aditya Dhar gave us full freedom. He said, ‘Aejaz bhai, think as brutal as you can. Kill in the most intense ways you can imagine.’ And we did exactly that, while he added his directorial touch. Aditya is extremely calm and sharp-minded, but when it comes to action, his thinking operates on a completely different level.”
While many sequences were carefully choreographed, some moments came together spontaneously on set. Aejaz recalled one such instance where a violent scene involving Hamza was improvised during filming. “A lot of ideas were created on the spot. Aditya wanted the action to feel ‘manly’—not just simple pushes or throws,” he explained.The film’s climactic stretch, which runs for over half an hour, proved especially demanding. According to Aejaz, the masjid sequence alone required six days of rehearsal and 14 days of shooting. Maintaining continuity across such an extended sequence was no easy feat, with every department, from hair and makeup to costumes, meticulously documenting each detail to ensure consistency.He also spoke about the intense chain fight between Arjun Rampal and Ranveer Singh, where Rampal’s character nearly strangles Ranveer’s. “We obviously couldn’t use a real chain, so we designed a rubber prop. It wouldn’t cut the skin, but it still caused pain—and Ranveer bore it. So did Arjun. Both of them got injured multiple times during that climax,” he revealed.Despite sustaining injuries, neither actor eased up. “They wouldn’t stop—even during rehearsals, they pushed each other for real. They were so immersed in the scene that even after getting hurt, they refused to take breaks. We use lighter props for safety, but when used with force, they still hurt. In that chain sequence, we even had to stretch Ranveer Singh’s eyes when Arjun tightened the chain around his face,” he revealed.
NEW DELHI: Contract breaches despite signed agreements, demands for higher pay, and last-minute withdrawals have left the Pakistan Cricket Board dealing with multiple challenges ahead of the Pakistan Super League. Several players are opting for the more lucrative Indian Premier League over the PSL, while also seeking pay hikes amid the ongoing West Asian conflict.“The PCB is right now totally focussed on hosting the PSL on schedule and have not decided on any course of action against overseas players who have pulled out for so called personal reasons or have openly breached their PSL contracts to go to the IPL,” the source told PTI.
The PSL and IPL schedules are set to overlap, with the PSL beginning on Thursday in Lahore and the IPL starting on March 28.According to reports, the PCB is considering strict action against players who have withdrawn, including potential bans ranging from two to four years.The board had earlier handed a one-year ban to Corbin Bosch for a contract breach last year.However, such bans have had limited impact due to the significant pay gap between the PSL and IPL, with the latter offering far higher salaries.“But there is an argument that bans will only make it more difficult for the eight franchise owners to sign on notable overseas players for the coming editions of the PSL. So the ban didn’t really impact him,” the source noted.“The PCB also expected to raise the issue with other members of the ICC,” the source said.Among the overseas players who have withdrawn from this year’s PSL after signing contracts are Gudakesh Motie, Johnson Charles, Dasun Shanaka, Blessing Muzarabani, Spencer Johnson, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Ottneil Baartman, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Tymal Mills.Meanwhile, several overseas players have arrived in Lahore for the PSL, including Australia’s Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, New Zealand’s Mark Chapman and Devon Conway, and South Africa’s Tabraiz Shamsi.“Foreign coaching and support staff have also started reaching Lahore with former Australian captain Tim Paine and his staff now in Lahore,” an official with the PCB’s PSL secretariat said.
NEW DELHI: The National Democratic Alliance on Monday finalised its seat-sharing arrangement for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, with 27 seats allocated to the BJP, 18 to the PMK and 11 to the AMMK. The AIADMK will contest the remaining 178 seats.The agreement was formalised in Chennai with BJP leader Piyush Goyal and AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami signing the electoral pact at the party headquarters.
Ahead of the announcement, Goyal expressed confidence about the alliance’s prospects, saying, “TN people will reject DMK-Cong, NDA will sweep TN, P’cherry: Goyal.”The people of Tamil Nadu will reject the DMK-Congress combine in the ensuing Assembly election just like the people of Maharashtra, Haryana, Bihar and Delhi did for the INDIA combine, BJP Tamil Nadu in-charge and Union Minister Piyush Goyal said on Monday.Goyal, who arrived in Chennai to finalise the seat-sharing among NDA allies, said the AIADMK-led bloc would sweep Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and form the government.“We will launch the fight against the evil force DMK and its partners who have taken Tamil Nadu to extreme difficult times due to their incompetent management of economy and due to actions which hurt Tamil culture. People are fed up with the DMK and Congress,” he said.“Just like the Congress and its partners faced defeat continuously in the elections held in Maharashtra, Haryana, Bihar and Delhi, the people of Tamil Nadu will reject the DMK-Congress combine in the state.”“It is because people want good governance, development politics, a better future and opportunities for youth, and women to prosper. Tamil Nadu is ready for a government under the strong National Democratic Alliance under the guidance of visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Goyal told reporters.Referring to Modi, he said the Prime Minister had set a record by serving as head of government for 25 years and had demonstrated how governance can transform lives. He added that people in Tamil Nadu wanted a government led by AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami that would focus on development for farmers and all sections.“We will ensure Tamil Nadu will have a very bright future,” the minister added.Single-phase polling for all 234 Assembly seats in Tamil Nadu will be held on April 23, while 30 seats in neighbouring Puducherry will go to polls on April 9.
Just days before the start of PSL 2026, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a firm stance against overseas players withdrawing from the tournament at the last minute. With the league set to begin on March 26, the board has warned that players who abandon their contracts to join IPL franchises could face legal consequences.
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi addressed the issue publicly, making it clear that the board is no longer willing to tolerate such exits. The concern stems from a growing trend where players sign PSL deals but later switch to IPL teams when replacement opportunities arise.
“We will take action against those players according to the rules. There was a case last year too, and the same thing will happen this time,” Naqvi said.
The overlap in scheduling – PSL starting on March 26 and IPL on March 28 – has made the situation more complicated. With both leagues running almost simultaneously, players are often forced to choose, and in many cases, the IPL’s financial pull and visibility have proven hard to resist.
This has left PSL franchises scrambling to find replacements at the last minute, disrupting team combinations and preparations just days before the tournament begins.
The latest wave of withdrawals has only intensified the issue. Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka and Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani are among the biggest names to opt out.
Shanaka, who was signed by Lahore Qalandars, chose to join Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL as a replacement for an injured player. Meanwhile, Muzarabani left Islamabad United after being picked up by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where he was brought in as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman.
Their decisions highlight a broader pattern – players initially commit to PSL after going unsold or not receiving ideal deals elsewhere, but quickly switch when IPL opportunities open up due to injuries. With IPL franchises offering higher salaries and global exposure, the temptation becomes difficult to ignore.
Several other overseas players, including Gudakesh Motie, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Ottneil Baartman, and Spencer Johnson, have also pulled out, though most have cited personal reasons. However, the timing of these withdrawals has raised eyebrows within the PCB.
The board’s frustration is not new. A similar situation unfolded last year when South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch left his PSL contract to join Mumbai Indians as a replacement player. That incident has now become a reference point for the PCB as it prepares to take stricter action.
Naqvi confirmed that the board is already evaluating legal options and could move against two to three players in the coming days. The aim is not just to address the current situation but also to send a strong message for the future.
For the PCB, this is about protecting the integrity of the league and ensuring that contracts are respected. For players, however, it’s a balancing act between professional commitments and career opportunities.

With the start of the Indian Premier League 2026 just days away, preparations are in full swing for all the teams. At the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru played their first warm-up game ahead of their title defence with Virat Kohli looking in good touch with a breezy 29 off 12 balls, while Jitesh Sharma stole the show with a blistering 81 off just 37 deliveries.The teams, led by new recruit Venkatesh Iyer (Team Venky) and Krunal Pandya (Team Krunal), put in a solid outing, and going by the scorecard, it was a run-fest. Batting first, Team Venky posted 234 for seven. Apart from Jitesh and Kohli, Tim David hammered 36 off just 14 balls, while skipper Iyer chipped in with a quickfire 36 off 16.
In reply, chasing 235, Devdutt Padikkal – who will be pushing for a spot in the playing XI – struck 63 off 33 balls. Pandya contributed 58 off 33, but it was RCB captain Rajat Patidar who sealed the win for Team Krunal with a stunning 74 off 25 balls.Reflecting on the outing, head coach Andy Flower said, “It is always nice to get out of the nets and into competitive situations, so it was a really productive evening. Some of the highlights were watching guys like Jitesh scoring 80-odd off 35 balls, and Rajat hitting beautiful shots as we know he can.Flower was also impressed by the youngsters particularly Abhinandan Singh, picked by RCB at the IPL 2026 Auction last December. Singh made his mark at the UPT20 league playing for Lucknow Falcons. “Some of the youngsters performed well too. Abhinandan was good with the ball, Rasikh [Dar] bowled well, and it was nice to see Vicky Ostwal and his skill with left-arm spin. So that was a great night’s work for everyone in the squad,” said Flower. Krunal Pandya was happy with how Virat Kohli looked out there in the middle, batting with intent. “Yeah, from batters, I guess Jitesh played really well today. Some of some of the shots were amazing. Tim David played really well. Venkatesh [Iyer] batted well, Virat batted really well you know, coming out and the intent and some of the shots. What Virat played today was amazing, looking good, which is a great sign for us. So fingers crossed!,” he added. RCB will begin their title defence at home at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, with the season opener against their trans-Kaveri rivals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, on March 28.Both teams are dealing with player unavailability. RCB will be without Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood for the initial stages of the tournament.The 2016 champions Hyderabad have named Ishan Kishan as interim captain in the absence of Pat Cummins. They also have injury concerns, with Jack Edwards ruled out of the tournament and uncertainty over Sri Lankan pace recruit Eshan Malinga.

An audio clip from the cockpit has revealed the final moments before an Air Canada Express plane collided with a fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The accident killed both the pilot and co-pilot and forced the airport to shut down.The air traffic control recording captures a series of urgent and confused instructions as ground vehicles and aircraft moved on the runway shortly before the crash late Sunday night. In the audio, controllers can be heard repeatedly warning a vehicle to halt. “Stop. Stop. Stop,” the controller says multiple times, moments before informing another aircraft that a collision had occurred on the runway.According to officials, the Air Canada Express CRJ-900, operated by Jazz Aviation, struck a Port Authority aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle around 11.40 pm (local time) while landing on Runway 4. The truck had been responding to a separate incident involving another aircraft that had reported an issue.Seconds after the impact, the controller is heard telling the aircraft, “I see you collided with the vehicle… hold position”.Emergency responders were immediately dispatched and the runway along with the entire airport, was shut down to manage the situation. “I repeat, Runway 422 is closed at this Time. Tower car 90, LaGuardia Airport is closed at this time,” the audio ended with this message.Authorities confirmed that the pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft were killed in the collision. Several others were injured, including personnel inside the fire truck, though passengers on board the flight largely avoided major injuries. The aircraft was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members.The audio also reveals the rapid escalation of the situation, with repeated announcements that the runway and eventually LaGuardia Airport had been closed, as emergency vehicles rushed to the scene.Initial reports suggest the fire truck had been cleared to cross the runway, but the exact sequence of events leading to the collision remains under investigation. The US Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop shortly after the crash, while the National Transportation Safety Board has launched a probe into the incident.Visuals from the scene showed significant damage to the aircraft’s nose, while passengers were evacuated and transported by bus. Flights were diverted or delayed as authorities worked through the night to respond to the emergency.
