Local Natives are back to announce their sixth album But I’ll Wait For You, due out April 19th.

But I’ll Wait For You is a companion piece from last year’s Time Will Wait For No One, and was conceived during the same sessions with producer John Congleton.

Maidaan Vs Bade Miyan Chote Miyan On Eid Will Be 9th Ajay Devgn Vs Akshay Kumar Clash ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan, which has been awaiting a release date for a long has finally locked its release date, and surprisingly, it is a major decision to lock horns with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan on Eid! Helmed by Amit Sharma, the biographical sports drama will be released on Eid 2024.

Interestingly, this will be Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff’s second Eid clash after they locked horns with Runway and Heropanti 2 on Eid 2022. Both films tanked disastrously at the box office.

Apart from Tiger Shroff, this will be Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar’s 9th major clash at the box office in their entire careers. While they have shared the screen together multiple times, starting with the blockbuster Suhaag in 1994, they have locked horns multiple times as well.

The trailer of “Shivaay” opens to Ajay Devgn’s trademark piercing gaze, lingering there for a moment before lurching into three minutes of continuous movement as he hurtles, untethered, through Himalayan avalanches and between cartwheeling vehicles. His distinctive baritone cuts through the visuals as he narrates “shlokas” (verses) from Vedic Hindu scriptures describing the transformative capabilities of the deity Shiva, the destroyer of evil and the inspiration for the film’s lead character.

Despite some of these reference points, “’Shivaay’ is not a religious or mythological movie,” Devgn told press during a recent trip to New York, the first of four cities in a U.S-wide promotional tour for the October 28 release, which marks his second as a director. “However, it is firmly based in the idea of faith, and the main character draws heavily from Lord Shiva, both in terms of his spirituality and his superpowers.”

The result is unmistakably Indian,...

Since she first stepped on screen in Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has created some incredible roles both in the South and Hindi film industries. That first film showed that Aishwarya is an actress that likes a challenge, because she played dual role in the critical and box office success. Since her debut, with each new film, the actress has always chosen her roles very carefully and showed tremendous versatility in the characters she portrayed on film. Think of her incredible performance in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, or in the brilliant Taal, as well as Jeans, Raincoat, Chokher Bali, not to mention her total transformation into the characters in Devdas, Jodhaa Akbar and Guzaarish and that is just to name a few.
