Yemen’s Houthis claim attacks on 3 US, Israeli ships

0

Sanaa, July 10 (IANS) Yemen’s Houthi group said they have attacked three ships owned by the United States and Israel in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The targeted ships were “Maersk Sentosa, Marthopolis, and MSC Patnaree,” said Yahya Sarea, the Houthi spokesman, in a televised statement aired by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV on Tuesday.

Sarea said that the first operation “targeted the US ship, Maersk Sentosa, in the Arabian Sea with several ballistic and winged missiles,” reports Xinhua news agency.

The second operation “targeted the ship, Marthopolis, in the Arabian Sea with drones” due to the company owning it had entered a port in Israel, he said.

The third operation targeted “the Israeli ship, MSC Patnaree, in the Gulf of Aden with several drones,” he said, adding that “the three operations achieved their goals successfully and the hits were direct and accurate.”

“Our operations will not stop until the Israeli aggression and siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip stop,” he said.

This is the latest in a series of Houthi attacks against ships transiting off Yemen since the Israeli-Palestinian conflict broke out last year.

The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, began in November last year to launch anti-ship ballistic missiles and drones targeting what they said were Israeli-linked ships transiting the Red Sea to show solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In response, the US-British naval coalition stationed in the waters has since January conducted air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group, but this only led to an expansion of Houthi attacks to include US and British commercial vessels and naval ships.

Colombo, July 10 (IANS) Sri Lanka held talks with the OPEC Fund for International Development for 100 million US dollars in assistance for a water security project, said a state minister on Wednesday.

In a social media post, State Minister for Finance Shehan Semasinghe said he discussed the Mahaweli water security investment programme at the Ministry of Finance with Yusuf Al-Mulam, Asia-Pacific regional manager of the OPEC Fund, reports Xinhua news agency.

The programme is currently being implemented under the facility of over 300 million dollars from the Asian Development Bank, and the OPEC Fund has agreed to co-finance another 100 million dollars, according to the minister.

This project, designed to deliver water from the Moragahakanda Reservoir to Hurulu and Mahakandara Reservoirs, is a testament to the success of Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring and reform programme, the minister added.

PM Modi and Austrian Chancellor agree to strengthen ties, discuss conflict in Ukraine and West Asia

0

Vienna, July 10 (IANS) India and Austria have identified “new possibilities” to further strengthen mutual cooperation besides also deciding to give a strategic direction to their bilateral ties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced here on Wednesday.

Making a joint statement along with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, Prime Minister Modi, who arrived in Vienna from Moscow on Tuesday evening, said that he also held detailed discussions on the current geopolitical situation in the world.

“Chancellor Nehammer and I have discussed in detail all the ongoing disputes in the world, whether it is the conflict in Ukraine or the situation in West Asia. I have said it earlier also that this is not the time for war,” he said.

PM Modi noted that mutual trust and shared interests have strengthened India-Austria relations.

“Today I had a very fruitful conversation with Chancellor Nehammer. Shared beliefs in values such as democracy and the rule of law are the strong foundation of India-Austria relations. We both strongly condemn terrorism. We agree that it is not acceptable in any form. It cannot be justified in any way. We also agree to reform the United Nations and other international organizations to make them contemporary and effective,” he said.

Earlier, the PM was accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Federal Chancery as he began his landmark visit to Austria, the first by an Indian Prime Minister to the country in 41 years.

Scripting a new chapter in bilateral relations, he was warmly received by Chancellor Nehammer who had last week called the Indian Prime Minister’s visit to Vienna as a “special honour”.

The Austrian Chancellor hosted PM Modi for a private engagement as the Indian PM arrived from Moscow on Tuesday evening. This was the first meeting between the two leaders and comes at a time when the two countries are marking 75 years of diplomatic relations. He said that discussions on realising the “full potential” of bilateral partnership lie ahead.

Prime Minister Modi thanked Chancellor Nehammer for the “warm welcome” and said that he was looking forward to the discussions on Wednesday as both nations continue working together to further global good. Besides holding talks with Chancellor Nehammer, PM Modi is also scheduled to call on Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen, address business leaders from India and Austria and interact with members of the Indian community in Vienna.

Unveiling the Legacy: A Look at the Making of “Indian”

0

The highly anticipated sequel, “Indian 2,” marks the return of the iconic collaboration between universal hero Kamal Haasan and director Shankar. “Indian 2” is the follow-up to the groundbreaking 1996 social drama “Indian,” a film that continues to resonate with audiences today. As “Indian 2” prepares to hit theaters on July 12th, 2024, let’s revisit the fascinating journey of the original film.

Shankar, already garnering acclaim for his debut film “Gentleman,” found himself sought after by superstar Rajinikanth. During the production of “Premikudu,” Shankar began crafting a script titled “Periya Manushan,” envisioning Rajinikanth in the lead role. However, Rajinikanth’s busy schedule caused delays, leaving the project on hold.

Determined to bring his vision to life, Shankar reworked the script into “Indian.” Initial casting considerations for the protagonist Senapathi included actors like Rajasekhar, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh. Tamil actors Karthik and Satyaraj were also approached. Ultimately, it was Kamal Haasan who, deeply impressed by the script, took on the dual roles of father and son.

Aishwarya Rai was initially considered for the female lead; however, scheduling conflicts forced the team to look elsewhere. Shankar, struck by Manisha Koirala’s performance in “Bombay,” offered her the role. Urmila Matondkar, fresh off the success of “Rangeela,” was brought in as the second lead, chosen by producer AM Ratnam to capitalize on her youth appeal. While Radhika was initially approached for Senapathi’s wife, the role ultimately went to Sukanya.

Kamal Haasan’s portrayal of Senapathi remains etched in cinematic history. At the time, around 40 years old, Haasan underwent extensive prosthetic makeup to convincingly embody a 70-year-old man. The process was physically demanding, requiring immense dedication from the actor. The film also featured the talents of Oscar-winning makeup artist Michael Westmore, who further enhanced Haasan’s transformation. In addition, Kamal Haasan underwent training in the martial art form “Marmakala,” adding another layer of authenticity to his performance.

Shankar, renowned for his embrace of technology, incorporated original footage of Subhash Chandra Bose into the film. “Indian” released on May 9th, 1996, and became a phenomenal success, shattering box office records in Kollywood. The film garnered critical acclaim, winning numerous National Awards, including the Best Actor award for Kamal Haasan. A.R. Rahman’s captivating music score, particularly the iconic song “Pachani Chilukalu,” played a pivotal role in the film’s enduring legacy.

The upcoming release of “Indian 2” serves as a testament to the lasting impact of the original film. As audiences eagerly await the sequel, it’s a fitting moment to revisit the remarkable journey that led to the creation of “Indian.”

Jacqueline Fernandez Faces Renewed Scrutiny in Money Laundering Case

0

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez finds herself back in the spotlight as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons her for questioning in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case. The ED alleges that Fernandez is linked to conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, accused of extorting Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh, wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh.

Citing newly discovered crucial evidence, the ED summoned Fernandez for questioning on July 10th, 2024. This is not the first time Fernandez has faced scrutiny in the case. She has been questioned by the ED on multiple occasions previously. During a 2021 statement, she acknowledged receiving luxury gifts from Chandrashekhar, including designer bags, clothing, jewelry, and other items.

The ED contends that Fernandez was not only aware of the source of the funds but also actively participated in using and possessing the proceeds of Chandrashekhar’s alleged crime. The agency claims she withheld information regarding financial transactions with Chandrashekhar and concealed facts until confronted with evidence. Furthermore, it is alleged that Fernandez wiped data from her phone following Chandrashekhar’s arrest, potentially tampering with evidence.

Fernandez’s involvement in the case has been a source of significant speculation and controversy. While she has consistently denied any romantic relationship with Chandrashekhar, the ED maintains her knowing involvement with the proceeds of his alleged crimes. As the investigation unfolds, Fernandez remains under the watchful eye of authorities as she faces further questioning.

Gnanavel Raja Reveals The Truth About Telugu Audience!

0

The Telugu film industry, often referred to as Tollywood, stands out for its unique audience dynamic. Unlike other regions where fan loyalty can be fiercely tied to individual actors, Telugu audiences prioritize quality content above all else. This fosters a culture of appreciation for films across languages, a fact recently highlighted by Tamil producer KE Gnanavel Raja.

Raja noted a key distinction between the Tamil film industry and Telugu audiences. While Tamils tend to differentiate between “their” heroes and actors from other regions, Telugu movie lovers embrace talent regardless of language. Affectionately, they refer to Tamil actors like Vijay, Ajith, Surya, Karthi, and Vikram as “our” heroes, extending the same appreciation to veterans like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. This inclusive approach is reflected in the box office success of Rajinikanth’s films in Telugu states. Suriya, in particular, enjoys a special status, considered an “adopted son” of Telugu audiences. His films consistently perform well in Telugu states, even if they don’t achieve the same level of success in Tamil Nadu.

The love for good content extends beyond Tamil cinema. Malayalam films like “Premalu” and “Manjummel Boys” found unexpected financial success in Telugu states, despite featuring unfamiliar actors. This openness to new experiences underscores the importance Telugu audiences place on compelling narratives. Further solidifying this appreciation are the dedicated fan associations for Tamil actors within Telugu states, highlighting the depth of their following.

In essence, Telugu audiences stand out for their unconditional support of good cinema. They are film enthusiasts first and foremost, readily embracing talent and stories that resonate with them, irrespective of language or origin. This unique approach sets an example for a more inclusive and content-driven film culture across India.

The Devil Wears Prada: A Stylish Return Confirmed After 16 Years

0

Sixteen years after captivating audiences with its portrayal of the ruthless world of high fashion, “The Devil Wears Prada” is officially getting a sequel. The news has ignited excitement among fans of the original film, which starred Meryl Streep as the domineering editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as her beleaguered assistant Andy Sachs.

While plot details remain tightly under wraps, speculation runs rampant. Will the tables be turned, with Andy, now likely a successful figure in the fashion world herself, on the receiving end of Miranda’s demands? Perhaps the narrative will shift to a new generation of aspiring assistants, navigating the cutthroat industry under the mentorship (or perhaps torment) of a potentially softened Miranda Priestly.

The ever-evolving media landscape presents a compelling backdrop for the sequel. The film could delve into the challenges faced by the fashion industry in the digital age, with Miranda potentially fighting to maintain the relevance of her print publication in a world dominated by social media influencers and online retailers.

One certainty is that the return of the powerhouse duo of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway will be a significant draw for audiences. The original film achieved immense commercial success, grossing over $326 million worldwide. Beyond its box office performance, “The Devil Wears Prada” has become a pop culture phenomenon, cherished for its witty dialogue, sharp social commentary, and of course, the unforgettable fashion moments.

Whether the sequel can recapture the magic of the original remains to be seen. One thing is undeniable: the fashion world, and film enthusiasts alike, eagerly await the return of “The Devil Wears Prada.”

Prasanth Varma Not Targeting Ranveer With His Tweet!

0

Much speculation has surrounded the collaboration between Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and director Prasanth Varma following the immense success of Varma’s “Hanu-Man.” News of their initial interest in a superhero film titled “Rakshas” sparked excitement among fans.

However, public announcements from both Singh and Varma confirmed that the project would not be moving forward due to creative differences. While maintaining a respectful tone, both parties expressed a desire for potential future collaboration. Singh acknowledged Varma’s talent, and Varma praised Singh’s energy and talent.

Further confusion arose due to a social media post by Varma that went viral. The post, a general reflection on rejection and blessings in disguise, was misinterpreted by some as a veiled jab at Singh for the shelved project. Varma subsequently clarified his intentions, explaining that the message was meant to be inspirational and not directed at Singh specifically. He expressed frustration over the tendency of social media to misinterpret his posts.

Varma elaborated that the decision to shelve “Rakshas” stemmed from differing creative viewpoints on the film. He reaffirmed his respect for Singh as an actor and their ongoing communication, emphasizing that while the project ultimately fell through, their professional relationship remains intact.
