Alongside the main cast and director, the premiere was attended by several celebrities, including Bidya Sinha Mim, Prarthana Fardin Dighi, Samira Khan Mahi, Rukaiya Jahan Chamak, and Senior Operative Director Hasan Faruk of Remark HB, among others.

He also became a household name through his roles in the iconic drama series “Kothao Keu Nei” and “Eishob Din Ratri”. Additionally, he appeared in popular series like “Ekannoborti”, “69”, and “Poush Phaguner Pala”.

Tota, known for his candid nature, did not shy away from explaining the reasons behind his departure. He revealed that, just before signing the contract, he was informed that 30% of his earnings would be taxed by the Bangladesh government. "That’s their rule, and that’s where I had a problem," he stated.

The accusation has left Chowdhury both shocked and saddened. "It’s really unfortunate and painful,” he said, responding to the claims. “I’ve always kept in touch with Doyel, and she never brought up any outstanding payments. Yes, sometimes final payments can be delayed, but making such sweeping public statements is unfair. I was genuinely surprised to hear her remarks."

The power struggle within the Film Artistes' Association had been simmering long before the political upheaval. Since the controversial 2022-24 election, the battle for the general secretary’s chair has been a symbol of division.

Shah Rukh Khan stole the show, not only with his hosting skills but also by performing alongside his co-hosts, Vicky Kaushal and Karan Johar, to the smash hit “Jhoome Jo Pathaan”. The night, however, belonged to the winners who took home prestigious IIFA awards.

The film has been screening at Mississauga’s Central Parkway Cinema, marking its international debut since Saturday (September 27). Confirming the news, director Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury said, “We’ve released the film on a limited scale in Canada. The first show premiered yesterday and audiences will be able to watch it throughout the week.”

Fiona Harvey, the woman who inspired the character “Martha,” filed the suit against Netflix and the show’s creator, Richard Gadd, alleging that the series falsely portrayed her as a violent stalker who had sexually assaulted Gadd and was imprisoned for her actions. Harvey contends that none of these claims are true.

This project will be a major milestone for Kapoor, as it marks his 25th film in the industry. "Dhoom 4” is currently in development under Yash Raj Films (YRF) and is set to become a reboot of the franchise.

It’s a curious thing, the emotional weight we feel when an actor we admire passes away. The grief feels strange and quiet, almost disproportionate. We’ve never met them, and there was never any real possibility of a personal connection. Yet their absence feels profoundly real, as though someone who had unknowingly become a part of our lives is suddenly gone. It’s far from the raw, visceral pain of losing someone close, but very close to a slow, simmering sadness, more like the loss of a distant but cherished companion. I’ve asked myself this question each time I’ve felt this quiet sense of loss from the passing away of a favourite artiste—why does it feel like losing a personal connection? Why does it resonate so deeply? And I find myself asking it again today, with the passing of the brilliant actress Maggie Smith.

After staying out of the public eye for nearly two months, Shakib Khan re-emerged in Dhaka, flaunting a bold new look that could easily be interpreted as being synonymous wih that of a South Indian film hero.
