Rumours are swirling that Harry Styles may step into the TARDIS as the lead in an upcoming reboot of the iconic sci-fi series Doctor Who. Backed by Amazon MGM Studios and the BBC, the show is expected to launch a fresh take on the franchise, tentatively titled Dr Who.

The reboot will reportedly introduce a brand-new storyline, a different set of companions, and a reimagined vision for the series. If confirmed, Styles would portray the "first" Doctor in this new continuity, marking a significant departure from the long-running series’ established timeline. While the BBC has yet to officially comment on the casting, fans are already speculating about what the pop star-turned-actor could bring to the role.

Styles, known for his Grammy-winning music career and roles in films like Dunkirk and Don’t Worry Darling, is no stranger to taking on creative challenges. Addressing the speculation, he expressed excitement about the possibility of joining the franchise. “I’ve always been drawn to stories about time, identity, and adventure. Taking on Dr Who would be an incredible experience, and I can’t wait to travel through time in something other than a tour bus,” he said.

Current Doctor Who lead Ncuti Gatwa, set to wrap up his tenure later this spring, responded to the news with enthusiasm. “Harry’s got the look already, he dresses like he’s from another dimension! If he’s stepping into the Doctor’s shoes, I think fans are in for something really special,” he remarked.


BBC Director-General Tim Davie hinted at big changes for the series. “We’re turning the page on a new chapter of one of our most beloved shows. Dr Who will bring fresh stories while keeping the heart of what makes the series great,” he said. Meanwhile, Amazon MGM Studios’ Head of Television, Vernon Sanders, praised Styles’ potential involvement, noting that his global appeal and creative vision align with the show’s ambitious direction.

Production for the reboot is expected to begin in late 2025, with additional casting announcements anticipated in the coming months. While Styles’ involvement remains unconfirmed, his fans and Doctor Who enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see if the rumours turn out to be true.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
