Oscar-winning music maestro AR Rahman held a concert in Chennai on September 10, and while fans thronged the venue to witness the performance of a lifetime, they were left with a rather bitter experience. The huge crowd at the venue led to a stampede-like situation and people shared their horrifying experiences on social media.

Several people who were present at the concert shared on social media that women were groped and molested and children were separated from their guardians due to the crowd.

Some could not enter the venue despite having bought expensive tickets. And amid the row, a new video has surfaced online, in which a woman can be heard claiming that the entire incident was orchestrated and music composer Vijay Antony had a hand in it.

Vijay Antony issues statement

Antony was slammed by netizens after the video went viral, and the composer has now decided to end his silence.

Antony took to his Twitter handle to share an official note against the video, and also threatened to take legal action against those spreading lies about him.

“With sadness in my heart, I am writing this letter to put a full stop to the ongoing controversy. A sister in her YouTube channel has been spreading lies about me and my brother AR Rahman. They are absolute lies. I am going to file a defamation case against them,” he wrote in the note.

Organisers take responsibility

The day after the concert, the organisers issued an unconditional apology to the fans for the inconvenience and chaos at the venue, and they also promised to return to ticket amount to those who could not enter the venue due to overcrowding.

If reports are to be believed, nearly 50,000 people were present at the venue for the concert, but the organisers had obtained the permission for a crowd of only 20,000.

The organisers took responsibility for the mess, and they also pleaded netizens to not attack Rahman as he had nothing to do with the chaos.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui On Sacred Games Season 2 Failure: 'People Won't Accept If...'

Nawazuddin Siddiqui needs no introduction. The actor can transform himself into any character and has earned a special place in the audience’s hearts with his work. Nawazuddin’s character Ganesh Gaitonde from ‘Sacred Games’ became extremely popular, and who can forget his iconic dialogue in the series, ‘Kabhi Kabhi lagta hai ki apun hi Bhagwan hai’.

Nawazuddin was part of both seasons of Sacred Games, but for him, season 1 will always hold a special place.

In a conversation , he shared his preference for season 1 and why he thinks season 2 was not as successful as the previous one and didn’t connect with the audience.

He shared which season he preferred more and said, “Of course season 1”, adding what didn’t work in season 2, saying, “There were new characters, so it didn’t work. There were 3-4 new characters, so it didn’t work at all. Because what happens is that, the character that people loved at first, if you make them weak, people won’t accept it.”

‘Sacred Games’ is an Indian neo-noir crime drama based on Vikram Chandra’s 2006 novel of the same name. It revolves around Sartaj (Saif Ali Khan), a cop, and his run-in with Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), the most wanted criminal, and what transpires after they come in contact with each other.

Apart from Saif and Nawazuddin, the other cast includes Radhika Apte, Girish Kulkarni, Neeraj Kabi, Jeetendra Joshi, Rajshri Deshpande, Karan Wahi, Sukhmani Sadana, Aamir Bashir, Jatin Sarna, Elnaaz Norouzi, Pankaj Tripathi, Kubbra Sait, Surveen Chawla, Kalki Koechlin, Ranvir Shorey and Amruta Subhash.

The actor added that the audience is connected with certain characters and if they are missing or portrayed weakly, people often lose interest.

Giving an example of his favourite American crime drama series , ‘Narcos’, which was based on the story of a Colombian narcoterrorist Pablo Escobar, portrayed by Wagner Moura, he said, “When I saw the gangster series ‘Narcos’, and Pablo Escobar’s character, I just went crazy after watching the first season. However, in the second season, his character was made weak. Then, why should I watch it? I had a connection with him. I was emotionally connected to him. Same happened with ‘Sacred of Games 2’.”

Talking about his iconic character of Ganesh Gaitonde and the famous dialogue ‘Kabhi Kabhi lagta hai ki apun hi Bhagwan hai’, on which number of memes were made, he shared, “I used to wonder about this dialogue. I found it to be strange. Never knew at that time it would turned out to be like this (popular).”

He added that it is difficult to recreate the charm of the original. “There is a kind of energy of the director and actors and a magical atmosphere which cannot be recreated.” Nawazuddin is known for his roles in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘The Lunchbox’, ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’, and ‘Manto’, among others. He has won numerous awards, including a National Film Award and a Filmfare Award.

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh High Court, on Monday, asked the Central government to clarify whether Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film “Emergency” has received a certification by the Central Board of Film Certification.

The release of the movie, set against the backdrop of a 1984 emergency during then PM Indira Gandhi’s tenure, has been postponed from earlier date, September 6, following controversies.

The High Court issued the notice following a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the Jabalpur Sikh Sangat, which alleges that the film portrays the Sikh community in a negative light.

The Sikh group’s plea, which was set to be heard on Monday, seeks to halt the film’s release, claiming that the movie is not in the public interest. According to senior advocate NS Ruprah, who represents the Sikh body, the film could harm societal sentiments.

Ranaut, an actor-politician and BJP MP from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, stars as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film, which is scheduled for release on September 6.

The court’s intervention highlights concerns raised by the Sikh community, and it has asked the Centre to respond promptly on the film’s certification status.

The release of Kangana Ranaut’s film “Emergency” was postponed amid a major controversy over its portrayal of the Sikh community. The film was initially scheduled to release on September 6, but the release date was pushed back.
