  • 3 Years of Sardar Udham: Did You Know? Irrfan Was The First Choice For Lead Role | People News

    New Delhi: The film ‘Sardar Udham’ was originally meant to star the legendary actor Irrfan Khan in the lead role of Udham Singh. Director Shoojit Sircar and Irrfan had been working on the project for years. Both were passionate about bringing this revolutionary’s story to the big screen, but due to Irrfan’s illness and tragic passing, the role eventually went to Vicky Kaushal, who honored the role with a critically acclaimed performance.

    After Sardar Udham won five National Awards, including Best Hindi Film, Shoojit Sircar made a heart-touching dedication to his friend, Irrfan Khan. PTI quoted the director as saying, “Me, my team, my producer Ronnie Lahiri, Sheel, Vicky Kaushal and the entire team (of ‘Sardar Udham’) want to dedicate this National award to the late Irrfan Khan.”

    “I miss him every day. I missed him in this film but Vicky Kaushal gave one of his finest performances. He also dedicated his performance to Irrfan Khan. Irrfan has created a vacuum in this industry and we are unable to digest the fact that he is not there. He is missed, that caliber of actor we need in the industry,” the filmmaker said.

    The journey of Sardar Udham took over 20 years from concept to screen. Irrfan was deeply involved in the early stages, and Sircar shared that the actor’s passion for the project remained strong. Even after his passing, Sircar feels that Irrfan’s spirit lives on in the film,”Irrfan was a big part of Sardar Udham from its inception. His influence is still present in the film, and I think about him every time it’s mentioned.”

    Shoojit Sircar, in a panel discussion at IFP, credited Satyajit Ray as one of his biggest influences, referring to him as his “guru.” IANS quoted him as saying, “Satyajit Ray has been my guru and still I think his films are so much influence in my life and in my films also. Apart from that, I have watched a lot of Oliver Stone films, Fellini, Buñuel ( Luis Buñuel), Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, there are many. So, at that time, I think those films didn’t have this kind of exhibition, this kind of distribution.”

    The National Award-Winning director is now gearing up for his next theatrical release. The untitled film, starring Abhishek Bachchan, is scheduled for a theatrical release at the end of November. This upcoming project is expected to be another slice-of-life story, capturing Sircar’s signature grounded storytelling.

  • Maharashtra Polls: Number of Total Electors Cross 8.9 Crore With 70 Lakh New Voters |

    MUMBAI: The number of registered voters in Maharashtra has increased by nearly 70 lakh since the 2019 assembly elections, a top poll official said on Wednesday. Assembly elections will be held in the state on November 20. “There were 8,94,46,211 voters in Maharashtra ahead of the 2019 assembly elections. After the special enrollment drives conducted by the election commission, the number has increased to 9,63,69,410, a rise of 69,23,199,” said Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer S Chockalingam. 

    A polling booth generally has 1,500 voters, but if there are more voters, additional booths would be set up, he said, speaking to reporters here a day after the election schedule was announced. There were 96,654 polling booths during the 2019 assembly elections, while there would be 1,00,186 booths this time, Chockalingam informed. 

    There are 6,36,278 voters with physical disabilities, while 1,16,355 voters are from the armed forces. The number of first-time voters, those between 18-19 years of age, is 20,93,206, he said. Notably, of 12,43,192 voters above the age of 85 years, as many as 47,716 are centenarians, said Chockalingam. Nearly six lakh state government employees would be roped in for election work, he said. 

    As to how many voters can be inside a polling booth at a time, he said there would be four tables in each booth. “We have issued instructions that three to four voters can be present inside. During the Lok Sabha elections, some officials allowed only one person inside at a time which resulted in delays in voting,” he added.

    On the use of terms such as “vote-jihad” which has communal overtones, Chockalingam said, “The model code of conduct has come into force yesterday. If some leaders tend to use it (such terms), we will not spare anyone. If we receive any complaint, we will check it within the legal framework and submit our report accordingly.” 

    BJP leader and deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had two weeks ago blamed “vote jihad” for the BJP’s poor show in the state during the Lok Sabha polls. “Out of 48 Lok Sabha constituencies (in Maharashtra), 14 seats witnessed vote jihad. Hindu religion never disrespected other faiths; tolerance is in our blood. I call for the need to awaken Hindutva if someone is voting for electing anti-Hindu leaders to top posts,” he had said at a public event in Kolhapur.

  • Sean “Diddy” Combs seeking release of names of his accusers

    Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs asked a New York judge Tuesday to force prosecutors to disclose the names of his accusers in his sex trafficking case.

    The lawyers wrote in a letter to a Manhattan federal court judge that the hip-hop music maker needs to know the identities of his alleged victims so he can prepare adequately for trial.

    Last week, a May 5 trial date was set for Combs. He has pleaded not guilty.

    A spokesperson for prosecutors declined comment.

    Combs, 54, remains incarcerated without bail after his Sept. 16 federal sex trafficking arrest. His lawyers have asked a federal appeals court to let him be freed to home detention so he can more easily meet with lawyers and prepare for trial.

    So far, judges have concluded he is a danger to the community and cannot be freed.

    The request to identify accusers comes a day after six new lawsuits were filed against Combs anonymously to protect the identities of the alleged victims. Two of the accusers were identified as Jane Does while four men were listed in the suits as John Does. The suits claim he used his fame and promises of boosting their own prospects in the music industry to persuade victims to attend lavish parties or drug-fueled hangouts where he then assaulted them.

    The plaintiffs in Monday’s lawsuits are part of what their lawyers say is a group of more than 100 accusers who are in the process of taking legal action against Combs.

    In their letter Tuesday to Judge Arun Subramanian, attornies for Combs said the case against their client is unique in part because of the number of accusers. They attributed the quantity to “his celebrity status, wealth and the publicity of his previously settled lawsuit.”

    That reference appeared to cite a November lawsuit filed by his former girlfriend, Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura. Combs settled the lawsuit the next day but its allegations of sexual and physical abuse have followed him since.

    The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Ventura did.

    Combs’ lawyers said the settlement of Cassie’s lawsuit, along with “false inflammatory statements” by federal agents and Combs’ fame have “had a pervasive ripple effect, resulting in a torrent of allegations by unidentified complainants, spanning from the false to outright absurd.”

    They said the lawsuits filed Monday, along with other lawsuits, and their “swirling allegations have created a hysterical media circus that, if left unchecked, will irreparably deprive Mr. Combs of a fair trial, if they haven’t already.”

    The lawyers wrote that the government should identify alleged victims because Combs has no way of knowing which allegations prosecutors are relying on in their accusations in an indictment.

    “To the extent Mr. Combs is forced to mount a defense against criminal allegations that the government does not seek to prove at trial, he is entitled to know that,” the lawyers said.

    The indictment alleges Combs coerced and abused women for years, with the help of a network of associates and employees, while using blackmail and violent acts including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings to keep victims from speaking out.

  • Johnson & Johnson Ordered To Pay $15 Million To Man Who Claims Talc Caused His Cancer | Economy News

    New Delhi: In a major legal ruling, Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to pay 15 million dollars to a Connecticut man, Evan Plotkin. He claims that he developed mesothelioma, a rare cancer after decades of using the company’s talc powder. Plotkin filed the lawsuit in 2021 and alleged that his illness was caused by inhaling J&J’s baby powder.

    What was the jury’s decision?

    The jury in Fairfield County, Connecticut Superior Court also ruled that Johnson & Johnson should pay additional punitive damages with the exact amount to be decided later by the judge overseeing the case.

    “Evan Plotkin and his trial team are thrilled that a jury once again decided to hold Johnson & Johnson accountable for their marketing and sale of a baby powder product that they knew contained asbestos,” said Ben Braly, Plotkin’s lawyer, in an email, according to Reuters.

    What was J&J’s response?

    Erik Haas, Johnson & Johnson’s worldwide vice president of litigation, announced that the company plans to appeal the “erroneous” rulings made by the trial judge, which he said prevented the jury from hearing key facts about the case. “Those facts show that the verdict is irreconcilable with the decades of independent scientific evaluations confirming talc is safe, does not contain asbestos, and does not cause cancer,” Haas stated.

    Tuesday’s verdict comes as Johnson & Johnson works to settle claims from over 62,000 people who allege that using their talc products caused ovarian and other gynecological cancers. The company is offering nearly 9 billion dollars in a bankruptcy settlement, though the deal is being challenged by some plaintiffs’ lawyers.

    While this settlement has paused lawsuits related to gynecological cancers, it does not apply to the smaller number of mesothelioma cases, like Evan Plotkin’s. J&J has previously settled some mesothelioma claims but has not offered a nationwide settlement for them.

    In all the lawsuits, plaintiffs claim that Johnson & Johnson’s talc products, including its once-famous baby powder, were contaminated with asbestos—a known carcinogen linked to mesothelioma and other types of cancer.
