“Guwahati Crime Branch has initiated a case (Cyber PS case no 03/2025) under sections 79/95/294/296 of BNS 2023, along with Section 67 of the IT Act, 2000, the Cinematograph Act of 1952, and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. The investigation is ongoing,” the statement further explained.
Meanwhile, social media influencer Apoorva Makhija, who is also accused of making inappropriate comments on the show, appeared at the Khar Police Station in Mumbai for questioning today.
“I shouldn’t have said what I said on India’s Got Latent. I’m sorry,” tweeted Ranveer Allahbadia on February 10, 2025.
After her investigation, Makhija was seen leaving the police station, while the lawyer representing stand-up comedian Samay Raina also arrived for necessary legal proceedings, as the studio where the show was filmed falls under the Khar Police jurisdiction. Ashish Chanchalani provided his statement at the Khar Police Station today as well.
On Tuesday, the Mumbai Police visited Allahbadia’s residence following the backlash from his comments on ‘India’s Got Latent,’ which airs on YouTube. His remarks prompted outrage among the Indian public, garnering reactions from various industry bodies, including the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA).

The association has called for a ban on the show and legal actions against those involved, urging all actors, filmmakers, directors, and technicians to stop collaborating with those connected to this show, including host Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia.
In light of the controversy, Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging that his remarks were inappropriate and lacked humor. He expressed regret over his comments, emphasizing his commitment to using his platform more responsibly in the future.
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate; it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte, and all I can do is apologize,” he remarked, also requesting the producers of ‘India’s Got Latent’ to remove the “insensitive sections” from the episode.

Jewel Thief”: Kunal Kapoor Playfully Labels Co-Star Saif Ali Khan a “Pain

In an interview with **Filmygyan**, the cast shared their experiences working together. Kunal Kapoor humorously described his time on set, joking that Saif was a “pain” to work with. While the rest of the cast expressed their enjoyment of the filming process, Kunal felt a bit differently. “I felt lonely, as my character is on the chase and not with them in the film. They had fun together while I was off on my own,” he explained.
Kunal also recounted his working relationship with Saif: “He is indeed a pain! It was challenging because he often didn’t show up on time, and when he did, he wasn’t familiar with his lines. This meant we had to wait for him to get ready for each take.” The cast shared a laugh about it, noting that with Saif’s limited presence on social media, he might never catch wind of Kunal’s jests.
Directed by **Kookie Gulati** and **Robbie Grewal**, **‘Jewel Thief’** is produced by **Siddharth Anand** and **Mamta Anand** under Marflix Pictures. The film’s synopsis from Netflix teases: “A crime lord hires a master thief to steal the world’s most elusive diamond—the African Red Sun. However, what begins as a perfect plan quickly descends into chaos, leading to unexpected alliances and deadly turns.” Viewers can expect a gripping experience filled with tension, action sequences, and a formidable heist.
Don’t miss the premiere of **‘Jewel Thief’** on **Netflix** on **April 25**.

Ricky Kej Pays Tribute to AR Rahman: “He Paved the Way for Musicians Like Me”

In a touching Instagram post that resonated with music enthusiasts, Kej shared a photo alongside Rahman, commending his significant impact on the music landscape in India.
“In my opinion, no one has contributed more to nurturing new talent, singers, instrumentalists, ensembles, and the overall music scene than AR Rahman,” he expressed.
This was more than just an admiration moment. With three Grammy awards to his name and a fourth nomination awaiting in 2025, Kej knows firsthand the weight of his words.
From folk to classical, pop to contemporary, he believes Rahman has played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of musicians across all genres in India.
“He has personally employed countless musicians,” Kej emphasized. “Through his artistry, he has helped various musical styles flourish and opened new opportunities, allowing musicians like me to connect with global audiences.”
Kej also voiced his concerns regarding the unjust criticism Rahman sometimes endures. “It’s painful to witness people targeting him as a soft target; this has to change,” he defended the icon who has profoundly influenced the sound of Indian cinema for over three decades.

While showering kudos on Rahman, Kej is also thriving in his own right. Following his first Grammy win in 2015 for ‘Winds of Samsara’, he made headlines again with ‘Divine Tides’, a collaboration with Stewart Copeland, the drummer of The Police — an album that secured him two more Grammys in 2022 and 2023.
Looking ahead to 2025, Kej is back in the Grammy race with his album ‘Break of Dawn’. In a previous interview, he referred to it as his “best work to date.”
What sets it apart? It’s not just about the melodies — it carries a profound message. “As an environmentalist, this album arises from a focus on mental wellness and environmental awareness,” he explained.
Inspired by ancient Indian raags and spiritual teachings, ‘Break of Dawn’ aims to harness music as a source of healing. “To cleanse the environment, we must first cleanse our minds,” he elaborated.
Meanwhile, the iconic AR Rahman continues to forge ahead with his latest concert tour, ‘Wonderment’, set to launch on May 3 at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium. This tour marks the beginning of a global journey that promises to be as enchanting as its title suggests.
“Each note, each rhythm tells a story,” Rahman conveyed in a statement about the concert. “With ‘Wonderment’, my goal is to blend tradition with innovation, celebrating both the past and future through music.” He noted that Mumbai is the ideal starting point due to its vibrant energy and spirit.
