‘It's not a propaganda film’: 'Ajmer 92' director

Filmmaker Pushpendra Singh's upcoming directorial Ajmer 92 has been embroiled in controversy ever since he announced the project.

The film shows how several minor girls committed suicide after being raped in the city of Ajmer in 1992.


However, several claimed that the film portrays a specific community in a bad light.

On facing backlash, Pushpendra told ANI, "We are facing a lot of problems to release this film. Many people think that the film is against a particular community but it is not true. It is not a propaganda film. We are just trying to show what our girls faced. We are trying to show their pain through our film. Our intention is not to hurt the sentiments of people."

On Monday, the makers unveiled the film's trailer.

The description of the trailer on YouTube reads, ''The gripping trailer encapsulates the suicides of several minor girls who are raped, leading to widespread panic and hysteria. The story revolves around how grief-stricken girls are blackmailed by powerful men. Ajmer-92' aspires to ignite a sense of empowerment within women, encouraging them to break their silence and bravely speak out against any form of atrocity.''

Ajmer 92 stars Karan Verma and Sumit Singh in the lead role. It will hit the screens on July 21.

To lure users away from TikTok, Meta offers up to $50K per month for Instagram reels

Meta is making a bold move to entice TikTok creators away from the platform by offering lucrative deals to post exclusive short-form video content on Instagram Reels. As TikTok's future in the U.S. remains uncertain, Meta is taking advantage of the opportunity to become the go-to platform for short videos.

Through a series of exclusive contracts, Meta is offering creators anywhere from $2,500 to $50,000 per month, depending on their reach and content, says a report by Business Insider. The catch? Creators must post new, never-before-seen content on Instagram reels exclusively for up to three months. The contracts also stipulate a high volume of content, with some deals requiring creators to post up to 10 Reels per month, totalling at least 60 over six months.

For top-tier creators, the payouts can reach as high as $300,000 over six months, but the deal is far from simple. Alongside the content requirements, Instagram demands creators post more content on their platform than on other platforms like TikTok or YouTube. They also need to engage with their followers regularly and promote Instagram on their primary platform to encourage their audience to follow them there.

Karan Johar announces Bollywood launch of Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim, sparks nepotism debate

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar has announced the launch of Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, reigniting conversations around nepotism in the industry. Ibrahim is set to make his acting debut in Dharma Productions' Sarzameen, directed by Kayoze Irani.

Karan took to Instagram to share the news, posting images of Ibrahim and recalling his long-standing bond with the Khan family. He reminisced about meeting Amrita Singh when he was 12 and praised her presence on screen, adding that her warmth and grace extend to her children. Similarly, he recalled his first meeting with Saif Ali Khan, describing him as charismatic and effortless—qualities he sees in Ibrahim as well.

Having known the family for 40 years, Karan emphasised their deep-rooted connection to cinema, stating that "films are in their blood and genes." While many in the industry congratulated Ibrahim on his debut, social media erupted with mixed reactions. Some users celebrated his entry into Bollywood, while others criticised the industry's pattern of favouring star kids over outsiders. Comments like “Nepotism at its peak” and “Another launch, another debate” flooded online discussions.

Sam Asghari opens up about  relationship with Britney Spears and life after divorce

Sam Asghari has opened up about the complexities of his relationship with Britney Spears, shedding light on the impact of her conservatorship during their time together. Speaking on Kate and Oliver Hudson’s Sibling Revelry podcast, the actor and model described his seven-year relationship with the pop icon as both challenging and transformative.

Their romance, which began in 2016, initially felt promising, but things changed once Sam fully understood the details of Britney’s conservatorship. The legal arrangement, overseen by her father Jamie Spears, controlled many aspects of Britney’s life, including her finances and personal decisions. Reflecting on this, Sam, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at the age of 12, admitted he was taken aback. “I thought I was in America. What do you mean someone over the age of 18 needs permission from their parents?” he said.
