Vijay Deverakonda Presents Rs.1 Crore To 100 Families After Kushi Success

Actor Vijay Deverakonda shared his happiness with the fans who made the movie “Kushi” a huge success. A total of 100 lucky families selected to share Kushi’s happiness were given cheques worth Rs 1 lakh. The families receiving these cheques hugged Vijay in excitement.
Vijay, director Shiva Nirvana, producers Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar of Myth Movie Makers participated in the event held in Hyderabad.
Vijay Devarakonda said, “I want to do many good programs for you who are showing me so much love. Because I too once thought that it would be nice if someone helped us like this. During my study days, all my friends went on vacation, I used to stay at home because I didn’t want to bother my parents by asking for money. Then I used to think how my friends are enjoying the tour. It would have been nice if someone could have given us some money at the time when we were struggling to pay the engineering fees of my brother. But I didn’t want to ask anyone.”
He went on to say, “I have crossed all that and reached this level today with you all as a family. Being able to help you today is my personal wish. After receiving the money, if you feel a little happy and feel less stressed, that will satisfy me. I am happy if this little help is useful for you. Don’t thank me. I’m Just sharing my love with you. Last time, few youngsters were sent on a tour. Since the announcement of this program, more than 50,000 applications have been received. But we can only do it for 100 people. I will continue to support you as long as I do films. Thank you for the love you show me.”
On this occasion producer Y Ravi Shankar said, “You know how happy the success of the movie Kushi has made us all. The film has become so successful because of your support. We are happy that Vijay has taken this initiative to share our happiness with you. Our production is in such a good position because of the love given by the audience and fans. It is a good concept of Vijay to giving back to them. I hope the rest of the industry will follow same.”
Producer Naveen Yerneni said – “Our Kushi has become a super hit with gross collections exceeding Rs 100 crore. We thank the audience and fans for such a good success. I am happy that Vijay started with our movie to try to help 100 people. This is a step to encourage everyone to do such good deeds.”
Director Shiva Nirvana said – “In these two years that I travelled with Vijay, the fans showed me some of the love they showed to him. Thanks to the fans for making Kushi such a huge success. I am happy that Vijay is starting an effort to share our love with 100 of you through my film. They selected not only from Telugu states but also from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and South States. Because our movie got good response from all places in South. There is one thing that I have been impressed with from Vijay. Success or failure, Vijay will be the same. He stands by his word. In any case, Vijay’s effort is not flawed. We sincerely hope that this Rs 1 lakh will serve your needs and bring happiness to all of you.”

Rajat Bedi says Aryan Khan is a huge fan of ‘Koi Mil Gaya’

Mumbai, Oct 14: Actor Rajat Bedi, who has made his comeback with ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’, has shared that the director of the show Aryan Khan, and his friends are huge fans of ‘Koi Mil Gaya’.
Rajat essays the role of a ‘has been’ star in the recently released streaming show, helmed by Aryan, who is the son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan.
Rajat recently spoke with IANS in the Bandra West area of Mumbai following the success of the show. He also cleared the air around his earlier statement about Rakesh Roshan which was misconstrued.
“Aryan and many other Aryan’s associates, as children, have been fans of ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ and I’m very blessed that Rakesh Roshan at that time gave me this opportunity to be a part of the film. I did feel a little bad after the film. But, if you actually look at my whole journey, it is a lot thanks to ‘Koi Mil Gaya’. Even today, people ask me, ‘You were in the Alien film, right? You broke Rohit’s cycle, right?’. It is one of the most iconic and lovable films by the audience”.
He further mentioned, “So, when Aryan and others saw ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, they grew up and when he was making something with a full Bollywood flavour, he was very sure that for this character, he needed me. He probably knew that I was relevant at that time. Then I disappeared for 20 years. So, Aryan found me. And what could be a bigger blessing than this? Really, when you ask for something from the universe and the universe fulfills it. I was waiting for the comeback that Aryan has given me”.
‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ is available to stream on Netflix.

‘My Wife, Sister Getting Hate Messages From Pak, UAE, Bangladesh’: Sameer Wankhede On ‘Ba*ds Of Bollywood Row, Defamation Case Against Red Chillies, Netflix

Former Mumbai NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, on October 11, spoke about the defamation case he has filed against Red Chillies Entertainment and Netflix. While speaking to news agency ANI, the former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer claimed that his family has been receiving hate messages from Pakistan, the UAE, and Bangladesh.
Wankhede said that his family has nothing to do with his profession or the case and asked, “Why are they feeling the brunt of these kinds of things?”
In addition, he also informed reporters that his sister and wife have been receiving threats. “Hate messages are coming from Pakistan, the UAE, and Bangladesh. I will not accept that because of me, they are facing the brunt of it,” he said.
He further added, “We have regularly informed the police about the threats that my sister and wife keep getting.”
Wankhede also said that he filed the case as it was about his self-respect, personal dignity, and honour, stating, “Whatever satire or parody you create, do it with your own people.”
He added that he would fight the legal battle as far as possible, saying, “I am a loyal soldier of the Government of India. There are numerous checks and balances in our system, and there is a proper rule book — the Constitution — according to which we work. One person does not make the decisions here. Everything has been done according to the rules and regulations. It is not about any publicity; it is about dignity. The kind of hate messages I have been getting, no self-respecting man will remain silent on it. I will fight this legal battle to whatever extent possible.”
Calling drug abuse a major issue for the nation, he further said, “By highlighting such things, you’re insulting not just one person but those who have worked with me, and others who fight against drug abuse.”
The case pertains to Aryan Khan’s web series, ‘The Ba**ds of Bollywood’*. The former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer has claimed that a character in the series bears a striking resemblance to him and has alleged that the show was “deliberately conceptualised and executed with the intent to malign his reputation.”
Wankhede has filed a ₹2 crore defamation case against Aryan Khan, Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt. Ltd (owned by Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan), and Netflix.
After filing the ₹2 crore defamation case, Wankhede told PTI, “I don’t want to comment on this. I will just say one thing — Satyamev Jayate (Truth alone triumphs).”

Bombay HC Reserves Order On Sunil Shetty’s Plea Seeking Protection Of Personality Rights

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday reserved its order on a plea filed by Bollywood actor Sunil Shetty seeking protection of his personality rights and an injunction against unauthorised use of his name, image, and likeness on social media and various websites.
A single-judge bench of Justice Arif S Doctor briefly heard arguments from senior advocate Birendra Saraf, representing the 64-year-old actor, and remarked that “it is scary what people can do with the unregulated use of AI on social media.” The court is expected to pass an ex parte ad-interim order in due course.
Shetty, who has acted in over 100 films, has filed a commercial intellectual property rights infringement suit against several social media platforms, websites, and unknown persons (John Doe defendants) for what he described as “extensive and ongoing infringement and unauthorised commercial exploitation” of his persona.
The plea highlights that his photographs and deepfake images, including those with his grandchild, were being used for commercial gain by real estate agencies, gambling and astrology websites, and merchandise sellers — all without his consent or authorisation.
Some of these instances involve AI-generated content, including deepfake videos and counterfeit merchandise like T-shirts and posters featuring his image.
Saraf submitted that such unauthorised usage and impersonation dilute the actor’s reputation, goodwill, and contractual commitments with third parties. “The infringement acts are causing irreparable harm to the plaintiff’s immense goodwill built carefully over the years,” the plea stated.
It further argued that the business models of such websites were designed to unlawfully monetise Shetty’s persona and “debase the goodwill and reputation that the plaintiff has cultivated over many years.”
The actor has sought a permanent injunction restraining all defendants from misusing his personality rights — including his name, image, likeness, voice, or any other attributes — in any form, especially through AI-generated or deepfake content.
He has also sought directions to take down infringing content and prohibit the manufacture or sale of counterfeit merchandise using his likeness.
Justice Doctor had earlier, while granting interim relief to singer Asha Bhosle in a similar plea, observed that using AI tools to imitate a celebrity’s voice without consent violates their personal rights.
