SS Rajamouli’s RRR is one of the most awaited films of 2021. The movie stars Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. Recently, the makers had unveiled a teaser of the film in which they had introduced the character of Bheem played by Jr NTR.


In the teaser, it’s Ram Charan’s character Ramaraju’s voiceover that introduces us to Bheem. While of course the voiceover in the Telugu version was done by Ram Charan, he also did the voiceover for the Hindi teaser as well.

This is for the first time Ram Charan has dubbed in Hindi. In 2013, when he had made his Hindi debut with the multi-lingual film Zanjeer, the actor’s dubbing was done by dubbing artist Viraj Adhav. Now, it will be interesting to see if in the film also Ram Charan will dub in his own voice for the Hindi version or a dubbing artist will be used.

RRR is being made in Telugu but will be dubbed in different languages including Hindi. Well, after the Baahubali franchise, SS Rajamouli has become a pan-India filmmaker and everyone has high expectations from RRR. The teaser which was released yesterday was undoubtedly a visual treat.

While Ram Charan and Jr NTR are shooting for the film, Alia Bhatt will join the team in November.

Due to the pandemic, the shooting of the film was stalled, but it was resumed a few days ago. While talking about the shoot, a source had told a tabloid, “The team will be shooting for almost two months straight at the studio and the crew will be quarantined together. The two leads, Jr NTR and Ram Charan, who play real-life freedom fighters Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju, will be shooting off and on. There will be plenty of drama, dance, romance, and of course, confrontation between the two heroes.”

Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer hit with sexual assault and human trafficking lawsuit

Neil Gaiman, the celebrated author of The Sandman and American Gods, has been accused of sexual assault, rape, and human trafficking in a lawsuit filed by his former babysitter, Scarlett Pavlovich. The lawsuit, filed in federal court, also names Gaiman’s estranged wife, musician Amanda Palmer, alleging she knowingly enabled the abuse.

Pavlovich, who worked as a live-in nanny for the couple on Waiheke Island, New Zealand, claims Gaiman exploited her vulnerable financial and mental health situation. According to the lawsuit, Gaiman subjected her to months of violent sexual abuse, including repeated rape, choking, and physical assault. He allegedly referred to her as his “slave” and demanded she call him “master.” Pavlovich claims she endured the abuse out of fear of losing her job, housing, and promised career support.

Will government inaction on science, trade & innovation cost the UK its economic future?

Dr Nik Kotecha OBE

As the government wrestles with market backlash and deep business concern from early economic decisions, the layers of economic complexity are building.

The Independent reported earlier in January on the government watchdog’s own assessment of the cost of Brexit - something which is still being fully weighed up, but their estimates show that “the economy will take a 15 per cent hit to trade in the long term”. Bloomberg Economics valued the impact to date (in 2023) at £100bn in lost output each year - values and impact which must be read alongside the now over-reported and repetitively stated “black hole” in government finances, being used to rationalise decisions which are already proving damaging.

Robotic tea machines serve chai to millions at Maha Kumbh Mela

AT THE Maha Kumbh Mela in India's Prayagraj, modern technology is being used to enhance traditional practices. Chai Point, in collaboration with the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), has introduced robotic tea-making stalls at the event.

These automated tea stations aim to serve over one crore cups of chai throughout the Mela. The tea is prepared using Nandini brand milk, and organisers plan to set a Guinness World Record for the most cups served at a single event. Despite having only 10 stalls, each can serve thousands of cups daily to meet the demand of millions of visitors.
