There is some exciting news for the fans of Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time. After two years of speculation, it has been finally confirmed that renowned actress Meera Syal is set to play Verin Mathwin in the second season of the popular fantasy show.

It is no secret that Syal was cast in The Wheel of Time Season 2 since late 2021, but there was no official word on who she might play.

The news about Syal joining the cast to play Verin was shared by Nerdist in a post that was retweeted by the official Twitter for The Wheel of Time.

Verin is first introduced in book two, The Great Hunt, so it makes sense the audience will see her in season two. For those not in the know, Verin is a member of the Brown Ajah of the Aes Sedai and an extremely important character in the story.

Sayal’s previous credits include Netflix's The Sandman, where she played Erica, an ally of Joanna Constantine and the original character based on Rick the Vic of DC Comics. The BAFTA winner was also seen in a special appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Doctor Strange.

As of right now, there is no official date for the premiere of The Wheel of Time Season 2, but we are expecting to land on Amazon Prime Video sometime this year.

Dua Lipa wins ‘Levitating’ copyright case as judge dismisses claims

British pop star Dua Lipa has successfully defended herself against yet another copyright lawsuit over her chart-topping track Levitating. A U.S. judge ruled that the claims made by songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer lacked merit, marking Lipa’s second victory in a legal battle over the song.

The lawsuit, filed in 2022, alleged that Levitating copied elements from Brown and Linzer’s 1979 song Wiggle and Giggle All Night and their 1980 track Don Diablo. The claim focused on the opening melody of Lipa’s hit, arguing that it was identical to their work. However, Judge Katherine Polk Failla dismissed the case, stating that the similarities were based on commonly used musical structures that had appeared in songs for centuries.

Aamir Khan auditioned for ‘Laapataa Ladies’ but lost the role: Video goes viral!

Aamir Khan’s attempt to play a small-town cop in Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies has sparked conversation among fans, thanks to a newly surfaced audition tape. The Bollywood star, who also produced the film, had initially hoped to take on the role of Sub-Inspector Shyam Manohar. However, director Kiran Rao ultimately chose Ravi Kishan for the part, a decision that many now agree was the right call.

The audition tape, shared on Aamir’s recently launched YouTube channel, Aamir Khan Talkies, shows the actor in a police uniform, chewing paan and trying out a rural accent. The video also includes bloopers, giving fans a insider view in to his efforts to embody the character. While Aamir is known for his dedication to roles, viewers were quick to point out that something felt off. Many felt his polished screen presence made him seem out of place as the rustic and rough-around-the-edges cop.
