I’m glad he started thinking about it because I think it will be a great film for all of us to do and for audiences to watch.” However, he mentioned that the movie is still in the early stages, so fans shouldn’t expect it to release soon.

    Hamza Ali Abbasi advocates for a positive set environment.

    He may have played the cold-blooded villain of ‘The Legend of Maula Jutt’, but Hamza Ali Abbasi is known to be one of the most easy-going people in the entertainment industry.

    The star spoke about the importance of having an enjoyable atmosphere on set, where everyone, including the cast and crew, joke around. After a five-year break, he returned to TV with a remarkable performance as Shahram in ‘Jaan-e-Jahan’ released in December 2023. “I actually had to break down like a child,” recalled Hamza.


    “It was my favourite scene,” he said, reflecting on a poignant moment in the show. “Everyone is very chilled and laidback. No one is hot-headed in our team, cast or crew. Everyone is funny.” Despite the show having a romantic aspect, Hamza emphasized that it’s not just a love story, praising the writers for creating a complex plot. “It’s a very, very good package,’ he said seriously. “I just really hope you like Jan-a-Jahan.” Hamza also has camaraderie with his onscreen brothers and the supportive team of writers, hoping viewers would enjoy the show as much as he enjoyed working on it.

  • Turks Up In Arms Over Killing Of Stray Cat

    Turks Up In Arms Over Killing Of Stray Cat

    The killing of a stray cat in Istanbul has triggered petitions, protests and death threats, pushing the president to intervene and the courts to retry the culprit.

    On January 1, Ibrahim K. was caught on a security camera in the lobby of the building where he lived kicking to death a stray cat named Eros that his neighbours regularly fed.

    He was sentenced in early February to 18 months in jail but was then released for good behaviour, sparking indignation among animal welfare groups and a section of the public in Turkey, whose large stray cat population is often fed and sheltered.

    Some 320,000 people signed an online petition demanding a stiffer sentence and in late February the justice ministry said Ibrahim K. would be retried after it received a night-time call from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying he was taking a “personal” interest in the case.

    Ibrahim K. was retried on Wednesday in a court building where hundreds of people thronged the corridors and the atmosphere was tense.

    The judges increased his sentence by one year but did not order him to be detained, ignoring the demands of animal welfare groups and internet trolls who have sent him death threats.

    One animal rights group is to appeal, saying Ibrahim K. should be jailed for the maximum four years allowed by law.

    On Thursday, the hashtag #JusticeforEros (#ErosicinAdalet) was trending on X, formerly Twitter, in Turkey and several major newspapers, including Hurriyet, splashed pictures of the dead cat on their front pages.

    Hurriyet carried several articles about Eros and “Ibrahim the killer”.

    Several celebrities have joined the Justice for Eros appeal, including Argentinian footballer Mauro Icardi, the star striker at Istanbul giants and reigning Turkish champions Galatasaray.

    Ambani bahu wears Saudi designer dress

    Last week, everyone was talking about Radhika Merchant, wife-to-be of Anant Ambani. The future bride wore stunning outfits at all her pre-wedding events.
    For one of the endless days of celebration, Radhika wore a beautiful gown made by Mohammed Ashi, a designer from Saudi Arabia. The gown was light pink with crystal embellishments and had a long train.

    She also wore a custom-made Versace gown inspired by New York’s buildings, and a colorful dress by Ashish Gupta paying tribute to disco culture. Her Manish Malhotra lehenga was traditional but with a modern touch.


    But it’s not just her clothes that caught attention. Radhika’s jewelry included diamond accessories and traditional Indian jewels.


    One memorable look was during her ‘hastakshar ceremony’ where she wore a special lehenga by Tarun Tahiliani. The outfit had beautiful paintings and intricate craftsmanship, showing India’s rich heritage.

    Arooj Aftab to perform alongside Dua Lipa, SZA

    The accolades don’t stop pouring in for Pakistani Grammy winning singer Arooj Aftab.
    The ‘Mohabbat’ crooner will perform at the famous Glastonbury Festival in London this June. Aftab, known for her soulful singing and mixing classical and modern music, shared the news on her Instagram account.
    “UK make plans! We are back at Glastonbury, June 2024.”
    Aftab also posted the exciting line-up on the carousel, promising performances from both classic and new artists including PJ Harvey and Cyndi Lauper.


    Female artists will headline two out of three slots at Britain’s Glastonbury Festival in June for the first time, with Dua Lipa and SZA joining rock-band Coldplay, organizers announced on Thursday.
    Country pop star Shania Twain will perform in the Sunday afternoon “legend” slot. British-Albanian Dua Lipa, known for hits like New Rules and One Kiss, will debut on the Pyramid Stage shortly after releasing her third album, Radical Optimism.


    Coldplay, veterans at Worthy Farm, will headline for a record fifth time. The inclusion of US R&B star SZA is a surprise in the lineup. The 34-year-old’s acclaimed album SOS won a Grammy last month, and her single Kill Bill has been on the British charts for months.
    The festival, which sold out in under an hour when tickets were released in November, faced criticism last year for an all-male top billing.
    Earlier this year, Aftab missed out on double Grammy wins after not winning in the two categories she was nominated for. The Mohabbat singer received nominations for Global Music Performance and Best Jazz Alternate Album.


    Aftab’s album Love in Exile got nominated for Best Jazz Alternate Album, and Shadow Forces got recognized for new vocal or instrumental global music. It’s important to mention that Aftab became the first Pakistani artist to win music’s top honors in 2022.

    Speaking about handing over the coveted KP constituency ticket to his brother in a video statement on Friday, the chief minister said he has conveyed the decision to party founder Imran Khan as well after he inquired where Gandapir plans to “adjust” his brother in the provincial cabinet.

    “He did not know that my brother was yet to contest the elections,” he said.

    The KP CM stated that he won the general elections on February 8 on two seats personally, keeping one and giving up the other.
