Salman Khan’s highly anticipated action film ‘Sikandar’ is gearing up for its theatrical release on March 30, just in time for Eid celebrations. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted the movie a UA 13+ rating. While no major changes were mandated, a few adjustments were made to scenes involving political references. Notably, the filmmakers voluntarily trimmed 14 minutes from the final edit.

According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC requested that the term ‘home’ be muted from ‘Home Minister’ in relevant instances, and also suggested blurring any political party signage present in a particular scene. The remainder of the action sequences and dialogue were approved without any alterations.

The report further details that the filmmakers chose to cut a total of 14 minutes worth of footage, which included trimming 26 scenes from the film. Notable cuts included a 2-minute and 26-second scene featuring the line ‘Chaar miss call…chalo Rajkot,’ a 4-minute scene with the dialogue ‘Aa gaye aa gaye…bad husband,’ and a 1-minute and 12-second sequence with ‘Usse leke aata hoon.’

In addition, a sequence where Salman’s character Sanjay sings ‘Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh’ has been shortened by 11 seconds. After these changes, the total runtime of ‘Sikandar,’ directed by AR Murugadoss, is set at approximately 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 47 seconds.

As fans eagerly await the film’s release, director AR Murugadoss recently offered a glimpse into Salman’s iconic entry. With Rashmika Mandanna of ‘Pushpa’ fame alongside him, expectations are high for what promises to be a cinematic spectacle. Murugadoss stated in an interview with Pinkvilla that Salman’s introduction in ‘Sikandar’ transcends a mere scene; it’s an event in itself. “I’ve collaborated with many stars, but Salman sir’s entry in Sikandar is truly special. We ensured his introduction became one of the film’s standout moments,” he shared.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by AR Murugadoss, ‘Sikandar’ marks the reunion of Salman and Sajid after their successful 2014 film ‘Kick.’ With anticipation building, fans are counting down the days for the film’s premiere. Alongside Salman and Rashmika, the cast includes Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Prateik Babbar in key roles.

BBK 12: Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 is set to bring an unexpected twist in this week’s elimination. The makers have been introducing surprise elements, keeping viewers curious and engaged.

On Day 58, Rajath and Chaitra entered the house as wild card contestants. Both have impressed audiences with their gameplay so far. Now, reports suggest that Bigg Boss is planning a major twist during the elimination process this week.

This week, strong contestants are in the nomination list. Gilli Actor, Rajath, Dhruvanth, Rakshitha Shetty, Spandana Somanna, Ashwini Gowda, and Rashika Shetty have been nominated. With seven contestants at risk, viewers were eager to know who would be eliminated.

However, it has now come to light that the voting lines have not been opened this week. This clearly indicates that no contestant from the nomination list will be eliminated.

Meanwhile, another rumor is circulating on social media. It suggests that Rajath and Chaitra Kundapura may not be contestants but special guests. As a result, there is speculation that they might be sent out of the house this week. Similar rumors were spread last week as well, but they turned out to be false.

The show has already featured one fake elimination this season. There is speculation that Bigg Boss may repeat the same twist by calling a few contestants to the end moment and announcing a fake elimination.

Reports also suggest that the grand finale of BBK 12 is likely to be held in January. Viewers are now eagerly waiting to see what Bigg Boss has planned this week.

BBK12: A major fight broke out in the Bigg Boss Kannada house during the nomination task on Tuesday. As per the rules of the task, contestants had to nominate a housemate by pushing them into the swimming pool.

During her turn, Kavya nominated Gailli and Rajath. When Rajath asked her for a valid reason, Kavya said that Rajath always supports only one side in the house. This comment upset Rajath, and an argument began between the two. Rajath questioned Kavya, asking whether his friendly and humorous behaviour with her was causing any problem.

While this heated exchange was happening, Druvanth noticed that Rajath was speaking to him in a singular and disrespectful manner. This triggered Druvanth, and a separate fight erupted between Rajath and Druvanth inside the Bigg Boss house.

The tension between the contestants rose quickly, leading to chaos during the task. The incident has now become one of the most talked-about moments of the season.
