Yes to overseeing, no to overstepping

Last November, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) had published the draft Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill. One of its proposed changes was bringing over-the-top (OTT) platforms and user-generated content under its ambit. The bill was slated to be presented at the new parliament’s inaugural session. While that did not happen, the draft bill has been put on hold. Sources from MIB tell us that the two primary points of contention are its suggestion to establish a Broadcast Advisory Council (BAC), and the requirement to adhere to the Cinematograph Act of 1952 while self-censoring OTT content.    Currently, each show is run past the streamer’s self-evaluation committee and legal team  Over the past three years, self-censorship has become the norm, with each streamer having its self-evaluation committee and a legal team to flag off sensitive material. However, the proposed bill suggested that the BAC would be a regulation committee over and above these teams. A source tells us, “Initially, in the draft, the MIB had suggested forming the BAC, comprising members from different ministries and social groups to review and approve shows before their release. It was conceptualised as the equivalent of the Central Board of Film Certification that certifies Indian movies. The idea was to be accountable about the OTT series, not censor them. After a slew of meetings held over the past few months, the streamers have voiced their concern against the formation of such a regulatory body. So, the Centre has assured them that a differentiated approach will be adopted for regulating these sectors.” In a meeting last week—the fourth in the past two months—that was attended by the top brass of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar, it was decided that the parties will regroup on July 31. The source adds, “While the streamers are currently under the ambit of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, they are comfortable about coming under the purview of MIB. However, they have made it clear that their content cannot be certified applying the dated rules of the 1952 Cinematograph Act that the CBFC currently adheres to. At the July 31 meeting, the OTT providers will submit their suggestions, based on which a fresh draft bill will be prepared by mid-August. The MIB is also keen to relook at the CBFC certification process and make it more relevant to 2024.” Films continue to be certified as per the Cinematograph Act of 1952 as the bill introduced last year, which sought amendments, is yet to be passed.

Bridgerton season 4 update: Show to focus on Benedict Bridgerton’s love story

The fourth season of the popular streaming show ‘Bridgerton’ will focus on the love story of Benedict Bridgerton, a perpetual bachelor. Benedict, who is essayed by Luke Thompson, has taken a backseat in recent seasons but will now be the next Bridgerton sibling to find their soulmate, reports Variety. It's official – next season is Benedict season on #Bridgerton!!! pic.twitter.com/SoxCoKxGsz — Netflix UK & Ireland (@NetflixUK) July 23, 2024 The season will follow the events of Julia Quinn’s third ‘Bridgerton’ novel, ‘An Offer From a Gentleman’, which sees Benedict searching for a “lady in silver” he meets at a masquerade ball who turns out to be a low-born woman named Sophie Beckett. As per Variety, in the ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 logline that accompanied the announcement, Netflix confirmed that Benedict’s love interest is still that woman. It read: “The fourth season of ‘Bridgerton’ turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson). Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.” When Variety spoke with new ‘Bridgerton’ showrunner Jess Brownell about the season 3 finale in June, she teased Benedict Bridgerton as the season 4 lead and broke down the decision to reveal his pansexuality during Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope’s (Nicola Coughlan) season which is based on the fourth ‘Bridgerton’ book, ‘Romancing Mister Bridgerton’, and swapped places with Benedict’s story for the TV series. “I knew that people out there had a feeling Benedict might be queer,” Brownell said. “And personally, it made sense to me. He’s not just open-minded, it’s that he seems like the type of person who wouldn’t be as concerned with gender, someone who might be more fluid and pansexual. He’s really attracted to someone’s spirit. And so it felt like we should make sense of those pieces that were in Seasons 1 and 2. That was what we were attempting to do with his storyline.” This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Gurmeet Choudhary on being a girl dad: ‘I am very protective of my daughters’ 

Gurmeet Choudhary, who is currently seen in the web series ‘Commander Karan Saxena’ is a proud girl dad. The actor got married to his ‘Ramayan’ co-star Debina Bonnerjee in 2011. They became parents to their firstborn Lianna in April 2022. On November 11, 2022, they shared a joint post on Instagram announcing the birth of their younger daughter Divisha.  In an exclusive interaction with mid-day.com, Gurmeet said, “Nothing could be better than this. I have two daughters. I've been lucky that my fans have also been mostly girls and women and it is because of their support that I have reached here. When I reach home, that’s the best sukoon.” He added, “But there is a responsibility. Earlier me and Debina could go anywhere. Although my wife takes good care of them, I am very protective when it comes to both my daughters. They shouldn't get hurt, everything should be on time. I don't have a boy, but if I did I would have pulled his ears or scolded him a little, but I have girls and they're closer to my heart. When I wake up in the morning I want both of them and my wife near me.” Gurmeet marked his OTT debut with ‘Commander Karan Saxena’. He shared how this was the first time he got to do an action genre.  He said, “I love action, but I've never had the opportunity to do an out-and-out action entertainer. There's quite a lot of action in this role, which I really enjoy. When you start liking something a lot, you eventually get it. For the past year or two, I have felt like I’ve had enough. Now, whatever I want to do, I will do it; otherwise, I won't." “This marks my debut on OTT. I hadn't done anything like this before. I kept rejecting offers. It's not like I wasn't approached for a series before. But nothing that interesting ever appealed to me. I was looking for a role with a larger-than-life character. This one has action, it's commercial, it's patriotic, it's emotional, and it has a mother's angle. So I feel there couldn't have been a better opportunity than this. Therefore, I believe this is my best debut on an OTT platform,” he added.  ‘Commander Karan Saxena’ is streaming on Disney+Hotstar.

Manav Kaul in Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper

Honesty, with a side of humour

Manav Kaul was in Kashmir when he first heard the idea of Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper. Right then, the actor decided to be a part of the comedy created by Puneet Krishna. Walking into the story of an ordinary man who becomes a gigolo to support his family, he knew that the role demanded two things—complete honesty as an artiste, and lack of judgment towards the part. “It was difficult to perform a role like this. Vulnerability in the situations [that the series depicts] was possible only because Puneet helped. The way he narrated the story, I could see my character. I had to approach it with simplicity,” says the actor. Given the subject’s delicate nature, it was imperative that the scenes be shot with sensitivity. As soon as he read the script, Kaul realised that writer-creator Krishna had taken extreme care when crafting intimate scenes. “While doing readings, I realised how tender the scenes are. On set, it’s chaotic, and I was worried about the [intimate] scenes. I used to go quiet during the shoot of the sensitive scenes, and wanted to portray them with the vision we had in mind.” He credits Krishna for giving a humorous take to the Netflix offering. “Puneet, even in the darkest scenes, has said something profound in the funniest way.”
