A 197-page chargesheet has been filed against 14 people under sections 44 and 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, Saurabh Pandey, the agency’s lawyer told CNN-News18. More than 8,800 pages have been cited as evidence.

Alleged kingpins of the scam and promoters of the app, Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal have been named as the main conspirators by the ED. The agency has accused the duo of gambling and laundering money through the app.

Pandey told News18 that the next leg of the investigation is focusing on Bollywood stars, influencers, and TV actors who were allegedly paid through Hawala to promote the app. ED officials said at least 19 A-listers, including those who performed at the wedding of Saurabh Chandrakar, are under the radar. “Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, and Huma Qureshi have been summoned for questioning but they are not cooperating. We are looking at the legal options we have,” Pandey told News18 at the Raipur district court after the prosecution complaint was filed. The court is likely to decide on cognizance on November 25.

The ED lawyer further said that the next leg of the probe will be to uncover the allegations of political patronage to the promoters of Mahadev App. “There is evidence to suggest that some cops in Chhattisgarh actively colluded with the accused and provided them protection. It is a matter of probe if this was done at the behest of political masters.”

Accused Satish Chandrakar has been named for facilitating the working of the Mahadev App when Ravi Uppal and Saurabh Chandrakar fled to Dubai. “Satish paid money and bought the ID for the Mahadev App. This ID was then used to get others to place bets using the app. The proceeds were split 70-30 by Satish Chandrakar and the Dubai-based promoters,” Pandey explained.

A policeman, Chandrabhushan Rai, has also been named for laundering proceeds of the crime from the app and allegedly misusing his position as a cop to protect the suspects. Rai’s relatives, whose ventures were allegedly used to launder money, have also been named along with a travel agency owner in Bhopal, the report said

Pandey said the agency will move soon for a Red Corner Notice against Uppal and Chandrakar.

But it is a proven fact that when things are not going right every mistake of yours is counted. Akshay Kumar is known to do multiple movies a year. More often he completes a film in a month and by the time another one is on the release, he has already moved on to his next one. Akshay has been criticised many times for this approach. While most of the big stars like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and even Ranbir Kapoor stick to doing only a couple of movies at a time, Akshay has been unstoppable with 5 to 6 releases hitting the theaters every year.

When asked why Shahid Kapoor does only a few movies a year the Kabir Singh actor said that he wants to do more movies but he is not the type of actor who can play a character just by shaving or changing his hairstyle. During his interview, the Farzi actor said, “I am trying to do as many movies as I can but mera kya hai na mein mooche chipkake acting nahi karta. Yahan pe mooche chipka li, wahan pe shave kar liya, do din ki dadhi ugake tisri picture kar li. Muzhe waise wali acting samaz mein hi nahi aati. I like to do one film at a time.”

Now as is known during the making of the movie Prithviraj Chavan, YRF wanted Akshay Kumar to grow a moustache so that he looks real as the last Hindu ruler of Hindustan. It was a historic character and in those days it was common for Rajas and Maharajas to have mustache and beard. But Akshay refused to grow a mustache.

When the movie flopped badly, YRF owner Aditya Chopra was enraged and openly blamed Akshay Kumar for the debacle. Usually, Aditya Chopra never speaks whenever his movie becomes a hit or is a flop. But this time he severely slammed Khiladi Kumar saying, “The film required a dedicated concentration. He wouldn’t even grow a real moustache, as he was doing other projects simultaneously. When playing someone so historically important, why couldn’t he have done just this one project, and given his best to it?”.

It was a big-budget film and YRF lost hugely. And that is why it seems now Shahid Kapoor is also indirectly targeting Akshay Kumar for his approach towards acting.

On the work front, Salman is waiting for the release of ‘Tiger 3’. It also stars Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi. The film is slated to release on Diwali.

Alizeh is all set to make her debut with ‘Farrey’.

Kiara, who recently dazzled in a red jumpsuit, is known for her glamorous looks. Her appearance in a stunning red evening gown, resembling a red flame, along with her stylish bangs and layered haircut, has turned heads.

Her makeup, featuring kohl-rimmed eyes, a fresh dewy base, tinted cheeks, and a striking hot lip shade, perfectly complements her style.

Kiara completed her look with voluminous, flowing hair, adding an extra touch of elegance.

In collaboration with professional hair stylist and makeup artist Priyanka Borkar, based in Mumbai, Kiara shared a video. In the caption, she wrote, “The glam squad was really feeling it tonight, and I just couldn’t resist .”

One user commented, “Wow ” while another compared her to a “Red Rose .” Yet another user humorously remarked, “I can’t decide whether I’m heartbroken that Sidharth is not single anymore or Kiara .” One user commented, “She always slays in red .”

Meanwhile, rumours are swirling about Kiara’s upcoming movie, ‘War 2,’ where she will be sharing the screen with Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, under the direction of Sidharth Anand.

He revealed that her death was accidental, not natural, and clarified that exhaustive investigations, including lie detector tests, confirmed no foul play.

In an interview with The New Indian, Boney said, “It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. And they discovered there was no foul play. I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report which came clearly stated it was accidental.”

Boney Kapoor shared insights into Sridevi’s health, mentioning her habit of occasional fasting to maintain a good appearance on-screen. He disclosed that she experienced blackouts due to low blood pressure issues. He recounted an incident where actor Nagarjuna informed him about Sridevi fainting during a movie shoot due to crash dieting.

Sridevi’s dedication to looking good led her to follow strict diets, and despite doctors advising her to add salt to her meals, she didn’t take it seriously.

Boney Kapoor emphasized that he, too, was unaware of the severity until the tragic incident occurred. He shared that Sridevi’s lifestyle choices, including crash diets, likely contributed to the unfortunate event.

For the unversed, Sridevi died after drowning in a Dubai hotel bathtub during a family trip for a wedding on February 24, 2018, at the age of 54.

In an interview with ETimes, Priyamani expressed her views on the potency of South Indian cinema in dealing with important societal matters, emphasizing that one doesn’t need to be actively involved in politics to portray a compelling message or reality.

Highlighting the film ‘Jawan,’ which delves into poignant topics such as farmers’ suicide, significance of doctors, and the oxygen tragedy, Priyamani asserted that these issues depicted in the film are grounded in real-life occurrences. She confidently stated that the southern film industries have consistently been outspoken on such matters, and the film’s resonance with the audience stems from its willingness to confront these often-overlooked subjects.

“It was high time that somebody spoke about them,” she remarked which netizens found to be true.

Proud of her roots spanning Bengaluru, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, Priyamani commended the southern film industries for their broad storytelling scope, addressing a myriad of subjects. She remarked that films from the South have been courageous in tackling diverse topics, a characteristic she believes hasn’t been as prevalent in the North.

She hopes that ‘Jawan’ not only entertains but also encourages audiences, especially in the North, to engage in more open discussions about pertinent societal issues.

Commenting on the continuous success of ‘Jawan,’ Priyamani expressed her joy and emphasized its ongoing popularity.

Despite more than 20 days since its release, Atlee Kumar’s ‘Jawan,’ featuring Shah Rukh Khan, continues to dominate at the box office. Surpassing the global milestone of Rs 1,000 crore, the film is now poised to cross the Rs 600 crore mark domestically.

Priyamani’s association with ‘Jawan’ holds special significance for her, marking her second collaboration with Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan after her appearance in a dance number in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Chennai Express’ (2013).

The fan identified as Aakash Pillay documented his one-month struggle on his Instagram and his story is now going viral on social media. As per the report, the fan embarked on a journey on August 28 to meet the actor.

He traveled all the way from his hometown and stationed himself in Mumbai. For a month, he reached out to various people, waited outside Shah Rukh Khan’s home Mannat, and attended events that were graced by SRK in the hope of meeting him.

She revealed how she was troubled after she discovered manipulated and inappropriate images of herself circulating on the internet during her teenage years. Expressing deep concern, Janhvi said, “People see these manipulated images and assume they’re real. That deeply concerns me.”

She recalled she was only 10 when she entered her school’s computer lab and found her images on Yahoo’s homepage, flashing across the computer screens of her classmates.

“I was very uncomfortable and not groomed in the photos even as the headlines announced I was being launched in the film industry,” she said to Newslaundry.

“This did not make me popular. Instead, it alienated me from my peers in school. My teachers started disliking me. I didn’t understand what was happening. My friends looked at me differently, they poked fun at me for not getting waxed. Many insinuated that I didn’t have to work as I was famous anyway, weird taunts I wouldn’t understand. There was a lot of judgment, a lot of questioning of my self-worth from a very young age,” she further added.

Janhvi Kapoor who made her acting debut with ‘Dhadak’ has come a long way in her career graph. She was last seen in Varun Dhawan’s ‘Bawaal’ and is now gearing up for the release of her upcoming movie.

‘Pathaan’, a spy action thriller, was the highest grossing movie ever in Hindi for months now.

However, there was chatter whether ‘Gadar 2’ or Shah Rukh’s latest release ‘Jawan’ would make the record by dethroning ‘Pathaan’ on taking the top spot.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh on Thursday took to X, to set the record.

He said the lifetime business of ‘Pathaan’ in Hindi was Rs 524.53 crore whereas ‘Gadar 2’ has raked in Rs 524.75 crore nett.
