A retiring superhero in action

In March, mid-day had reported that Salman Khan is set to enter the superhero genre with a film helmed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, marking his first collaboration with the filmmaker duo (A retiring superhero? March 6). The project is currently in pre-production and is expected to go on floors this October. "It's a big-budget superhero film designed for a global audience. The team is aiming to begin filming by October 2026, once all pre-visualisation and prep work is in place," a source told Pinkvilla. Casting for the female lead is underway, with earlier speculation about Samantha Ruth Prabhu now dismissed.

Story of survival

Actor Rajshri Deshpande has shared a powerful post embracing her breast cancer surgery scars as symbols of strength and survival. Months after revealing her Grade 1 diagnosis and surgery, she posted photos confidently showcasing her scars. "My scars tell the story of my survival. I fought, I survived, and I conquered. To every woman dimming her light, please rise. Your scars are not blemishes; they are your crown of courage," she said, asserting that the illness "could never touch my spirit."
