Navi Mumbai International Airport Presents a Gallery of Digital Art

Imran Hashmi has been active in Bollywood for a long time, but his films have not achieved the commercial success expected from his name. However, his phase has now changed. He has shown the potential for a commercial success with the sequel to his flop film Awaarapan, which was released 19 years ago.

The film Awaarapan 2 is performing well in theaters, and almost every show is half-filled with audiences. Snippets related to the film are going viral on social media, and fans of Imran Hashmi's character Shivam Pandit are getting attracted again. The songs of the film are also being liked a lot as they evoke a sense of nostalgia among the audience.

Imran's original film Awaarapan is known for its successful music album. The magic that Pakistani singer Mustafa Zahid cast with his voice is still felt today. Songs like 'Tera Mera Rishta' and 'Toh Phir Aao' are those that brought the film Awaarapan to life. However, he could not be included in the sequel because there are restrictions on Pakistani artists in India.

Mustafa is also not satisfied with this situation. During his recent concert in Chicago, USA, he expressed his disappointment at not being a part of Awaarapan 2. Before the song 'Toh Phir Aao', he mentioned that it was the first song he had written, composed, and sung in his life.

'It is sad that art also suffers due to politics all over the world. So unfortunately, I am not a part of this album (Awaarapan 2). But the love and respect I have always received from Indians is truly wonderful. Thank you all very much,' he said.

The film Awaarapan 2 features actors such as Disha Patani, Suvinder Vicky, Puran Gabbi, and Shabana Azmi. It is produced by Special Films, while Nitin Kakkar directed it.

During a large-scale cultural event marking the 80th anniversary of Independence Day, held at Vidhan Bhavan in the capital of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Minister Yogi Adityanath met with artists and students.

During this meeting, a humorous conversation took place with a folk artist from the state of Chhattisgarh, which drew enthusiastic applause from all attendees.

The artist highly praised the work of the law enforcement agencies of Uttar Pradesh and the demolition campaign targeting criminals. Minister Yogi Adityanath responded in a very humorous manner, stating: 'I cannot sing, so I make bulldozers work against bad people.'

Artists from Chhattisgarh presented their traditional performances and folk dances at the main event in Lucknow. Afterward, as Minister Yogi Adityanath began interacting with the artists to support their efforts, one of the Chhattisgarh artists enthusiastically commended the methods of the Uttar Pradesh government. He noted that the actions of bulldozers in combating crime in Uttar Pradesh truly deserve praise, openly expressing admiration for the state's strict administrative decisions.

Upon hearing the artist's words, Minister Yogi Adityanath smiled and gave a very interesting reply. Calmly stating, he said: 'You can sing, so you sing songs; I cannot sing, so I operate bulldozers against bad people.' This response from the minister caused laughter among those present, and the entire hall erupted in applause.

Minister Yogi Adityanath uniquely compared the melodies of art with the administrative hammer directed at criminals, presenting a funny analogy. Following this magnificent cultural event, Minister Yogi Adityanath personally awarded all the artists and students at his official residence. He sincerely congratulated all participants who brought to life the country's rich cultural heritage through their art and talent.

Minister Yogi Adityanath also posted on the social network 'X' that 'students and artists who presented cultural performances at the event held at Vidhan Bhavan, Lucknow, on the occasion of the 80th Independence Day, were awarded at the official residence. He congratulated all participants who showcased the country's rich cultural heritage through their talent and art, and wished everyone a Happy Independence Day.'

Actor Yash is preparing for the release of his film 'Toxic', which is scheduled for August 26, 2026. Teasers, trailers, and musical compositions from the film have attracted viewers' attention, especially due to the intimate scenes shown in them. Yash is currently actively involved in promoting the film while also commenting on the content related to the movie.

During the show 'Aadlat Apki', one young woman asked Yash about violence and sexual scenes in cinema, adding that youth who commit such acts are often condemned by Generation Z. The actor provided a detailed response to this.

Responding to the young woman, Yash stated that, in his opinion, every new generation is better than the previous one, and older generations always believe that youth has degenerated. He called it an endless problem but emphasized that the world belongs to the youth.

Discussing the topic of indecency, Yash noted that 'indecency is wrong.' He added: 'I didn't even kiss, you saw. There is a limit; we know it. We must shoot it in an artistic manner, and the visual effect it creates later is the effect of cinematography. It is the creator's voice, and the film was made with the intention that emotions are very important.' He also specified that 'Toxic' is intended for Gen Z.

It should be noted that the most noticeable intimate scenes in the teasers and songs released so far for the film 'Toxic' are prominent. Sometimes Yash is shown in a car with a girl, and sometimes he appears in a romantic role with Kirara Advani and Tara Sutaria. These shots have caused significant resonance on social media.

Initially, the film 'Toxic' was supposed to be released in March of this year to compete with 'Dhurandhar Da Revenge'. However, the creators postponed the premiere until June 2026. The release date was later moved again, and is now set for August 26.

The film 'Toxic', directed by Gittu Mohandas, features Kirara Advani, Nayantara, Tara Sutaria, Huma Kurashi, and Rukmini Vasant. Although it is originally a Kannada film, it will be released in several languages, including Hindi, after dubbing.
