The Bollywood movie Battle of Galwan has caused controversy due to its factual distortion experts claim that a country's holy area cannot be impacted by over-the-top drama.
On December 27, main actor Salman Khan released the trailer for the Indian film Battle of Galwan, which is set to be released in April 2026 and purports to be based on the 2020 fighting between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan region. The clip sparked outrage on the internet on Monday. Chinese internet users frequently make fun of Salman Khan, who is best known to Chinese audiences as the lead actor in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, for portraying parts that seem too unbeatable, with stories that are too straightforward and excessive visual effects that make the drama seem surreal.Salman Khan plays Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu in the movie, a role that Indian media said attracted Bollywood's attention due to his alleged crucial part in the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict. Bollywood films, at most, offer an emotionally charged and entertaining picture, but no amount of cinematic exaggeration can change history or undermine the PLA's resolve to protect China's sovereign land, according to a Chinese scholar on Monday.The Hindustan Times reported on Sunday that the trailer opens with Salman's voice giving a speech while instructing his soldiers on how to combat the "enemy." He is then shown in the video approaching the "enemy," with his soldiers standing next to him. He is then shown clinging to a stick while the "enemy" rushes in their direction. Salman's character strikes someone with the stick as the video comes to a close. On the other hand, some online users questioned whether the movie had imitated a sequence from Game of Thrones.The movie has also sparked additional controversy on the internet, with users pointing to things like extras' outfits and looks, actors' hairstyles that don't fit their military roles or the storyline's suggestion of extreme cold, and—most importantly—a depiction of events that isn't true. About 200 Indian soldiers valiantly defended their land against a force of 1,200 Chinese soldiers on June 15, 2020, according to certain local media, notably India Today, which has promoted the movie as being based on the events that occurred between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan region.

Expecting Her Second Child, Anushka Sharma
Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers revealed shocking news that star batsman Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their second child, casting doubt on the player's ability to play the rest of the Test series against England. For personal reasons, Kohli had withdrew from the India team for the first two Test matches against England. Whether Kohli will play in the remaining games of the series is still unknown. De Villiers was questioned on his YouTube live about whether or not he had spoken to Virat Kohli and whether or not he was okay. "He's fine, that's all I know. He is missing the first two Test matches because he is spending some time with his family. I won't be confirming anything more. I am so excited to see him again. On his YouTube channel, AB de Villiers disclosed, "He's fine, he's happy." Just watch what he said, please. I just want to show you a little love, that's all," he continued. I wanted to check in with you for a while now, biscuits, so I wrote to him. "How are you doing?" "I just need to be with my family right now," he remarked. I continued, "I'm doing well."Indeed, he is expecting his second child. Indeed, he values things and it's family time. You lose sight of your purpose in life if you are not authentic and true to yourself. Family is, I believe, what most people prioritize. Virat is not to be judged for that. He continued, "Yes, we do miss him, but he made the right choice. De Villiers has since acknowledged his error and stated that it is untrue that Virat and Anushka are expecting their second child. Cricket comes second, family first. I had committed a grave error on my YouTube account. That information was completely false and inaccurate. In my opinion, Virat's family's best interests should come first. My only option is to wish him well, as nobody knows what's going on there. De Villiers told Dainik Bhaskar, "I hope he can come back stronger, better, and fresh from this, whatever the reason for his break."

The actor who was paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor garnered attention again after an innocuous remark on an Instagram post. Imran is now making baby strides toward turning to face the camera once more. Imran revealed in a recent interview that he began viewing his life and profession from a different angle after becoming a father and realized he needed to be the greatest version of himself for his daughter, even though being an actor was nearly in the way of that.Imran, who last starred alongside Kangana Ranaut in Katti Batti (2015), revealed in an interview with Vogue that he "hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside." Recognizing his advantages, Imran stated that at one point in his life, he was pondering some philosophical issues about life and that, as a well-known actor, he did not have to worry about money by the time he was thirty."I wasn't passionate about it enough to want to put in the effort to pursue it at that point, so it wasn't my career," he stated.

Sad about Javed Akhtars animal remarks, Sandeep Reddy Vanga claims that watching Mirzapur by Farhan Akhtar will make people throw up.
Javed Akhtar criticized Animal, according to Sandeep Reddy Vanga, without seeing the whole movie. In addition, he counseled Akhtar to keep an eye on his abusive son Farhan Akhtar's Mirzapur.The portrayal of toxic masculinity in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Animal," starring Ranbir Kapoor as Ranvijay, drew criticism. Writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar deemed these movies risky. Sandeep responded by pleading with Akhtar to keep an eye on his son Farhan Akhtar's output before criticizing his movie."It is very clear that he did not watch the film," Sandeep stated in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. That comment makes it quite evident that he did not watch the entire movie. What can I say about someone who is speaking without having seen the movie? You naturally feel horrible since it is obvious that he hasn't watched the movie. But it's not just about him—if someone is hurling stones at a work of art, shouldn't they first consider their surroundings?"Why didn't he tell Farhan Akhtar the same thing when he was producing Mirzapur," he went on. Although I haven't watched the entire program, Duniya bhar ke gaali Mirzapur ek show mai hai. If you watch the Telugu translation of the show, you will feel like throwing up. Why doesn't he review his son's work?Speaking about Animal, Akhtar recently declared, "It's dangerous if a man asks a woman to lick his shoe or if a man says it's okay to slap a woman in a movie that becomes a huge hit." In the contentious scene, Zoya, played by Tripti Dimri, was shown being asked to lick Ranbir's shoe.Netflix, an over-the-top platform, recently published the film Animal. In addition, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna are featured in the movie. Over 900 crores of rupees have been made worldwide from Animal.

To be the finest versions of ourselves so that we may be even better for one other is what we are doing right now, he said.Currently in production is Fukrey 3, the third entry in Pulkit's popular franchise.
