Pooja Entertainment unveils the enthralling title logo of their magnum opus ‘Suryaputra Mahavir Karna’!

‘Mahabharata’ is one epic tale that has inspired many film-makers around the globe. However, barely any scripts are presented on the celluloid from Suryaputra Mahavir Karna’s perspective. Bringing this story alive for the first time ever on the big screen are producers Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, and Jackky Bhagnani.

The film will be envisioned on an unparalleled scale with an exemplary attention to detail and benchmark visual effects. It will be a spectacle unlike any unleashed upon the big screen in Indian cinema. The multilingual project is written and directed by R S Vimal. This film will be the most distinguished and grand production from Pooja Entertainment till date.

The film will highlight the events of the epic tale from Suryaputra Mahavir Karna’s point of view and will be one of the most awaited box-office battles of the 21st Century.

The makers have also roped in India’s celebrated poet Dr. Kumar Vishwas to pen the dialogues, lyrics and additional screenplay of the film. This marks Dr. Vishwas’ first-ever association with any film in India. Vishwas routinely gives performances in which he recites his poetry and demonstrates his love for Hindi, Urdu, and Sanskrit literature.

‘Suryaputra Mahavir Karna’ will be made in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam and is all set to redefine the genre of opulent period dramas in the Indian film industry. It promises to be the most eagerly awaited blockbuster of the decade.

Better Call Saul: Breaking Bad’s Saul Goodman Ends Up Living His ‘Best Case Scenario’ & That’s How You Mix Two Ultimate Shows Into One!

Better Call Saul Is Truly An Example Of Sheer Brilliance
Better Call Saul Is Indeed One Of The Greatest Shows Of All Time(Pic Credit: IMDb)

Better Call Saul’s season 6 is one of the major TV and OTT highlights of this year. The Bob Odenkirk led spin-off of Breaking Bad has left the fans smitten with its storytelling since its debut. But the way it progressed was something new level altogether.

Better Call Saul in its 5 seasons run so far has left has astonished at several moments. It’s amazing how the writers have taken care of every little detail of Breaking Bad while creating Saul Goodman’s world. Though the idea of BCS was developed much later, it’s almost impossible to imagine that considering the way makers have connected dots between both shows. It all looks like the spin-off was pre-planned.

Let’s talk about one such trivia today which will blow your mind. At the start of every Better Call Saul season, we see Jimmy McGill aka Saul Goodman living his life as his other identity i.e Gene. In the black and white sequence of the distant future, he can be seen managing a Cinnabon in Omaha. If you have watched Breaking Bad carefully you must be knowing, that was what Saul Goodman had planned for himself when he moved away from Alberquerque and erased his identity towards the end of the show.

Now that’s a big victory when it comes to writing. Cheers to each writer of the show.

Better Call Saul is a crime drama that revolves around the journey of Bob Odenkirk’s character from being Slippin Jimmy to Saul Goodman. He was an integral part of Breaking Bad and BCS is a spin-off show. Apart from him, the show also covers the journey of characters like Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) and Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito). The main star cast of the show also includes names like Rhea Seehorn, Michael Mando, Patrick Fabian, Michael McKean, Tony Dalton and others.

Are you looking forward to Better Call Saul season 6? Let us know in the comments section down below. Stay Tuned to Koimoi for more updates.

India issues new SOPs for travellers from UK, S Africa, Brazil; declaration of 14-day travel history must

New Delhi: All international travellers coming/transiting from flights originating from the United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East will be required to declare their travel history of past 14 days, the Central government said in its standard operating procedure (SOP) on Wednesday.

According to the guidelines issued by the Centre for international arrivals, from February 23, the passengers will have to submit a self-declaration form (SDF) for COVID on the online Air Suvidha portal before the scheduled travel.

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, India is following point-of-entry procedures for identifying international travellers, particularly at-risk travellers to India through multi-pronged strategy of thermal screening and testing.

All the travellers arriving from/transiting through flights originating in United Kingdom, Europe or the Middle East will be mandatorily subjected to self-paid confirmatory molecular tests on arrival at the Indian airports concerned, the guidelines stated.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) in consultation with the Ministry of Civil Aviation has reviewed the situation with regard to point-of-entry actions required to minimise the risk of importation of mutant strains of coronavirus.

While filling SDF the passengers will need to select whether they plan to disembark at the arrival airport or take further flights to reach their final destination in India.

The government said that keeping in mind the testing requirements for passengers from UK, Brazil and South Africa, who have to take connecting flights, airlines should keep the passengers informed about the need for the transit time of a minimum of 6-8 hours at the entry airport (in India) while booking the tickets for connecting flights.

“All the passengers arriving from the United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East shall be carrying negative RT-PCR Test report for which test should have been conducted within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey. The same also shall be uploaded on the online portal (www.newdelhiairport.in). Airlines to allow boarding only those passengers who have filled in the SDF on the Air Suvidha portal and uploaded the negative RT-PCR test report,” the statement said.

The airlines will need to identify the international travellers arriving from/transiting through the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa (during past 14 days) and segregate them in-flight or while disembarking to facilitate the authorities to follow the due protocol in respect of these travellers.

Travellers from Brazil, South Africa and the United Kingdom, testing positive (either at the airport or subsequently during home quarantine period or their contacts who turn positive) will be isolated in an institutional isolation facility in a separate (isolation) unit coordinated by the respective state health authorities.

Sidhu was arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell on February 9 for his alleged involvement in 26 January violence in the national capital after which was he was sent to seven-day police custody the same day.

Delhi Police had earlier told the court that Deep Sidhu was the main instigator. He allegedly instigated the mob not to follow the permitted route of the Kisan parade and to breach barricades with tractors on January 26, the police informed the court.

Delhi Police had told the court that there was video evidence to show that Sidhu entered Red Fort with supporters carrying lathis and flags. Delhi Police also told the court that he was at the rampart of the fort where a flag was raised.

On Republic Day, protestors did not follow the prearranged route and broke barricades to enter Delhi, clashed with police, and vandalised property in several parts of the national capital during the farmers’ tractor rally. They also entered the Red Fort and unfurled their flags from its ramparts.

Farmers have been protesting at the different borders of the national capital since November 26 against the three newly enacted farm laws: Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.

“Formal objection conveyed”: Nepal on Biplab Deb’s “BJP expansion” remark

New Delhi: Nepal Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali on Tuesday said that a “formal objection” has been conveyed against Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb’s remarks that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has planned to expand in neighbouring countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Replying to a Twitter user who shared a news report on Deb’s remarks, Gyawali said: “Noted. Formal objection has been already conveyed”.

Earlier in the day, Kathmandu Post reported that Nepal has taken exception to a recent statement by Mr Deb in which he quoted Home Minister Amit Shah as saying that BJP will expand the party in Nepal.

On Sunday, Deb said Shah once shared during a meeting with party leaders in Tripura about expanding the BJP to Nepal and Sri Lanka. Shah was BJP national president at that time, Deb said, adding that his visionary ideas transformed the BJP into the world’s largest political party.

“We were talking at the state guest house in Agartala, when [party leader] Ajay Jamwal said that most of the states have BJP in power. In reply, Amit Shah said Nepal and Sri Lanka are left. We need to win there as well,” said Deb, as he burst into laughter.

Referring to the upcoming Assembly elections in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Deb said the BJP would come to power in both states. “There will be neither CPM nor Congress in Kerala anymore. Narendra Modi is going there and Amit Shah has already reached there. In Tamil Nadu too, we will form next government. There will be no government other than BJP,” said Deb.
