    “You live thanks to this company!” The politician’s comment for the selfies asked of Maria De Filippi during the funeral home: his words

    [ad_1]

    Also Mario Adinolfi on selfie with Maria De Filippi intervenes to have his say. Taking pictures with the widow, albeit famous, in front of the coffin of her husband, Maurizio Costanzo, also famous, is in bad taste for the Italian journalist and politician. But Adinolfi continues arguing that, moreover, the presenter lives thanks to this company, so nothing strange.

    The Italian journalist and politician has decided to comment on the ugly gesture of some fans who, in the funeral home set up for Maurice Costanzothey asked for a photo with Maria De Filippi, his fourth wife, who was widowed.

    In fact, someone had the courage to ask the host of You’ve Got Mail for a selfie, visibly grief-stricken. Many people have criticized both the fans and De Filippi’s choice to comply with their requests. To these voices is added that of Mario Adinolfi.

    Adinolfi, in fact, said that it was obviously an indelicate and inappropriate gesture. But then he took the opportunity to attack Maria De Filippi, almost as if to tell her that she brought it on herself.

    If you live thanks to a clouded society that ‘dances with the stars’ and is passionate about polemic controversies, you cannot preach to poor people who ask for selfies from the famous widow of the deceased famous. It is true that it is indelicate to ask, but De Filippi knows that it is a price to pay.

    Mario Adinolfi, selfie with Maria De Filippi: his post on social media causes discussion

    The journalist’s words were deeply criticized. The public on Twitter responded in kind to Adinolfi, for a comment according to many as inappropriate as the request for a selfie in front of Costanzo’s coffin.

    In fact, there are those who argue that Mario Adinolfi showed the same zero empathy that the people who asked the widow to pose in the funeral home showed, where many said their last goodbyes to her husband.

  • Viveka murder probe sparks war of words between YSRCP, TDP

    Viveka murder probe sparks war of words between YSRCP, TDP

    [ad_1]

    Amaravati: As the CBI investigates the murder of former Andhra Pradesh minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, paternal uncle of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, appears to be reaching climax, a war of words has broken out between the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

    With the CBI pointing fingers at Jagan Mohan Reddy’s cousin and Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy and the latter’s father Y.S. Bhaskar Reddy, the TDP is looking to corner the ruling party and even blaming the chief minister himself.

    That the CBI’s recent startling revelations have rattled the YSRCP was evident when its leaders alleged that the TDP president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu were influencing the CBI probe.

    The recent developments in the four year old sensational case, which has all the trappings of a crime thriller, are likely to have an impact on the course of state politics at a time when the parties are gearing up for next year’s elections.

    Claiming that lower-rung officials of the CBI are taking the investigations into a particular direction, the YSRCP leaders are pointing fingers at Chandrababu Naidu, who was the chief minister when Viveka was murdered.

    Vivekananda Reddy was the younger brother of former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, father of Jagan Mohan Reddy.

    He was found murdered mysteriously at his residence at Pulivendula in Kadapa district on March 15, 2019, a month ahead of the 2019 general elections.

    The 68-year-old former state minister and former MP was alone at his house when unidentified persons barged in and killed him. He was killed hours before he was to launch YSR Congress Party’s election campaign in Kadapa.

    Though three Special Investigation Teams (SITs) conducted the probe they failed to solve the mystery.

    The CBI took over the investigation into the case in 2020 on the direction of Andhra Pradesh High Court while hearing a petition of Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter Sunitha Reddy, who raised suspicion about some relatives.

    The CBI filed a charge sheet in the murder case on October 26, 2021 and followed it up with a supplementary charge sheet on January 31, 2022

    In November last year, the Supreme Court transferred to a CBI court in Hyderabad the trial and probe into the larger conspiracy behind the murder. The apex court observed that doubts raised by Sunitha Reddy about getting a fair trial and investigation in Andhra Pradesh were reasonable.

    Stepping up the pace of investigation, the CBI on January 28 questioned Avinash Reddy for more than four-and-a-half hours. The Lok Sabha member from Kadapa was questioned by the agency for the second time on February 24.

    Avinash Reddy made the second appearance two days after the CBI made startling revelations in the case.

    While opposing the bail petition of one of the accused Sunil Yadav, the CBI stated in its counter filed in Telangana High Court on February 22 that Avinash Reddy, his father Y.S. Bhaskar Reddy and their follower D.Siva Sankar Reddy had hatched a criminal conspiracy to kill Vivekananda Reddy due to the grouse they had over conflicting political ambitions.

    The CBI submitted to the court that the trio used other accused Yerra Gangi Reddy, Sunil Yadav, Dastagiri and others who worked for Vivekananda Reddy to execute the murder plot.

    The investigating agency stated in its counter that Vivekananda Reddy was not happy with his brother Bhaskar Reddy and nephew Avinash Reddy as they had sabotaged his chances in the MLC election in 2017 in Kadapa. Avinash and his father wanted Siva Sankar as MLC candidate but when Jagan Mohan Reddy fielded Vivekananda, the trio ensured he was defeated.

    To settle scores, Viveka opposed the proposal of fielding Avinash as the YSRCP candidate from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency. The former minister wanted Jagan Mohan Reddy’s sister Y.S. Sharmila or mother Y.S. Vijayamma be fielded.

    The CBI claimed that Rs 40 crore was offered to the other accused to carry out the murder.

    On February 3, the CBI questioned Krishna Mohan Reddy, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) for the chief minister. It also quizzed Naveen, who works in the house of the chief minister.

    They were reportedly questioned about the sequence of events on the day when Vivekananda Reddy was murdered. They collected information about phone calls made or received by them on the day.

    This prompted TDP to step up attack on Jagan Mohan Reddy and the opposition party started pointing fingers at him.

    After Avinash Reddy appeared before the CBI, YSRCP general secretary government advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy alleged that the CBI probe into Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder case is progressing as per the TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu’s directions.

    He also raised suspicion that Naidu is influencing the probe agency through his aides in the BJP. He alleged that the CBI is deliberately taking the probe into a particular direction to target a few people.

    Giving a clean chit to Avinash Reddy, Sajjala said the Kadapa MP had no role behind the murder. “There is no evidence to point to Avinash Reddy’s role,” he said and added that the murder had been committed as per Chandrababu Naidu’s screenplay and direction.

    Sajjala recalled that the murder took place when Naidu was the chief minister. He called it a conspiracy hatched by the TDP chief to demoralize Jagan Mohan Reddy ahead of the 2019 elections. He claimed that Viveka’s murder was a big loss for Jagan at personal level and YSRCP as a whole.

    He alleged that TDP leaders Adinarayana Reddy, B Tech Ravi had close links with the criminals. He said that CBI had not interrogated B Tech Ravi, Adinarayana Reddy and brother-in-law of Vivekananda Reddy, Sivaprakash Reddy who first called Avinash to inform about the death.

    Sivaprakash Reddy told Avinash that Viveka died of cardiac arrest. Sajjala dared the CBI to probe why the call records of Viveka were not retrieved to bring more facts to light. He also wanted to know as to why CBI did not seize the mobile phones of Adinrayana Reddy and Viveka’s son-in-law Rajasekhara Reddy.

    The TDP is making every effort to politically capitalize on the recent developments. “The question everybody was asking in the state was who killed babai (uncle). Now they have got an answer. Abbai (nephew) killed Babai,” says Chandrababu Naidu.

    He also claimed that Google Takeout helped in solving the puzzle who killed babai. Naidu claimed that the technology revealed the location of every suspect on the day of the murder.

    The chronology of events and phone numbers of the people allegedly involved in the murder have been traced.

    Naidu alleged that Jagan’s main aim then was to gain sympathy from the murder. He said that as then chief minister, he too was made to believe that Viveka died of a heart attack.

    He was all praise for Viveka’s daughter Sunitha for her lone battle to expose the plot.

    He slammed Sajjala for finding fault with the CBI’s findings even as the investigation is in progress

  • SRK shares words of motivation for 10th, 12th class students giving board exams

    SRK shares words of motivation for 10th, 12th class students giving board exams

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan motivated 10th and 12th-class students who are giving their board exams.

    On Monday, the ‘Pathaan’ actor conducted an #AskSRK session on Twitter, where he answered his fan’s questions.

    When a user asked him about to give few words of motivation for students of 10th and 12th who’ll face board examination in the next few weeks.

    SRK replied, “Study as hard as you can. Do not get anxious. I used to carry a placard in the school march past…’do your best and leave the rest’ just don’t stress. All the best.”

    CBSE Board exams 2023 for classes 10 and 12 got underway across the country.

    The examinations of Class 10 and Class 12 are being held from February 15 to April 5, according to an official release from CBSE.

    CBSE has made elaborate arrangements for the conduct of examinations in India and in 26 countries abroad to ensure that all the important information for the conduct of examinations is communicated to all responsible officials at the examination centres. CBSE has circulated detailed guidelines to all the stakeholders to ensure that the students are appearing in the examinations without any stress.

    Apart from responding to tweets related to Pathaan’s success and upcoming projects, Shah Rukh also addressed questions related to his personal life.

    Meanwhile, on the work front, SRK is busy shooting for Atlee’s directorial ‘Jawan’. He recently headed to Pune for the film’s shoot. The film, which also stars Nayanthara, is all set to hit the theatres on June 2 in five languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

    It is billed as an event film with high-octane action sequences. Shah Rukh’s production company Red Chillies Entertainment has produced it. In June 2022, SRK unveiled the film’s teaser which opened with a glimpse of the Northern Lights over mountain tops.

    Apart from ‘Jawan’, SRK also has Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Dunki’. The film marks SRK’s first collaboration with Taapsee Pannu.

  • Berlin’s plan for a car-free city prompts bitter war of words

    Berlin’s plan for a car-free city prompts bitter war of words

    [ad_1]

    Many visitors to Graefekiez, a lively cobbled-road neighbourhood just south of Berlin’s centre, come in search of something new: a tattoo from an authentic Japanese parlour, a rare print from an off-grid gallery, a dive-bar encounter over a 4am beer.

    This summer, they can brace themselves for another novelty: for at least three months, local authorities are planning to scrap almost all of the neighbourhood’s parking spaces as part of a social experiment designed to chart the waters of the German capital’s car-free future.

    Exactly how long the trial will last, how many of the neighbourhood’s roads it will include, and whether the vacant parking spaces will be filled with ping-pong tables, plant pots or dining tables instead, the council will not reveal until after Sunday’s Berlin state elections, a repeat of the September 2021 vote that was marred by delays and logistical errors.

    The decision to hold back information may well be politically motivated: the business of getting from A to B has become the subject of a bitter culture war between car lovers and car haters in the runup to the vote. And Berlin’s experimental approach to ushering out the age of the automobile isn’t only alienating petrolheads.

    The metropolis on the river Spree used to be feted for its public transport links, its densely woven web of underground and overground trains, trams, buses and ferries guaranteeing that getting from one corner of the city to the next usually took less than an hour. Wide roads make cycling popular and relatively safe.

    “Berlin has lots of space and barely any commuters – a lot of people live close to where they work,” said Prof Andreas Knie, a mobility researcher at the WZB Social Science Center that will supervise the Graefekiez project. “In theory, it has all the right conditions in place to become a model ‘city of short distances’,” he added, citing the concept of compact living spaces that urban planners have championed for more than a decade.

    Yet recently Berlin has struggled to convert its advantages into real change. In inner London and Paris, car ownership is in decline. Berlin may still have the lowest car ownership rate in Germany, with 337 vehicles registered per 1,000 inhabitants in 2022, but the number of automobiles on its roads has been rising steadily.

    “Five years ago, we were top of the pops,” said Knie. “Now London and Paris have overtaken us.”

    The means that German cities have at their disposal to shape movement on their roads is limited by federal laws that prioritise free flow of vehicles. Municipalities can’t impose 30 km/h zones on main roads unless they can prove a high risk of accidents. The liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), in charge of the ministry at federal level, has shown no signs of willingness to rewrite the all-powerful road traffic act.

    While their hands remain tied, Green councillors in Berlin have resorted to guerrilla tactics aimed at nudging cars out of the city centre. During the first coronavirus lockdown in 2020, several Berlin districts redrew road markings to create “pop-up” cycle lanes, supposedly to help cyclists physically distance on their commutes to work. Many of the new lanes have become popular permanent fixtures.

    At the start of the year, the senate went further: as of 2023, two-wheeled vehicles – including bikes, motorbikes and electric scooters – are allowed free use of parking spaces previously reserved exclusively for cars across the city.

    But this experimental approach has also left parts of Berlin in a what locals perceive as a state of permanent flux. A section of the Bergmannstrasse thoroughfare in Kreuzberg has undergone two attempts at a cycle-friendly redesign in the last four years, first with psychedelic-looking polka-dot road markings and then with a two-way cycle lane pushing cars on to a one-way single lane.

    Further north, cars were banished from a 500-metre stretch of the Friedrichstrasse boulevard for two years until a local wine dealer last November won a court case to let automobiles back in. At the end of January, Berlin’s Green party senator for mobility and climate protection, Bettina Jarasch, shut cars out again, against the will of the incumbent city mayor Franziska Giffey, of the centre-left Social Democratic Party.

    The hypothesis behind the latest experiment in Graefekiez is that most residents who leave their Autos on the side of its tree-lined streets don’t actually need them to get around town. A summer of seeing spaces previously hogged by boxes of steel used by playing children and al-fresco diners, the thinking goes, may encourage them to ditch them for good.

    “The idea we are pursuing is whether public spaces can be experienced and used in more efficient ways than keeping them reserved for parked cars,” said Annika Gerold, Kreuzberg’s Green district councillor in charge of transport affairs.

    But with the details of the car-free experiment kept under wraps, scepticism in the neighbourhood is tangible. Florian Eicker, who runs a small lunchtime eatery serving Hawaiian poké bowls on Graefestrasse, says he would welcome additional space for tables outside his restaurant, and could imagine switching to a car-sharing scheme to buy and deliver his ingredients.

    But a lack of information about another temporary state that could be rolled back again by the autumn has left him frustrated: “What’s the point if we merely push the problems three months into the future?” The attitude among his neighbours and guests was broadly negative, Eicker said. “I’d say it’s 30% in favour to 70% against. And those people aren’t especially wedded to car ownership on principle.”

    The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a conservative party whose core voters could not be further from the bohemian crowd on the Graefekiez’s streets, has been making hay of local frustration, collecting 1,450 signatures in favour of scrapping the trial in the neighbourhood of approximately 18,000.

    Instead of banishing parking spaces altogether, local CDU candidate Timur Husein advocates charging car owners to use them like they do in other cities – because for now, parking in the Graefekiez remains mostly free. If polls are anything to go by, his party’s pitch is proving surprisingly resonant in a city usually famed for its countercultural ways.

    The most recent surveys show the Christian Democrats in the lead on 26% of the vote, and within a realistic chance of unseating the incumbent left-green senate as long as it can sway one of the coalition parties to switch sides.

    “Adding a few bollards here and there is absolutely fine,” Husein said. “But an entire neighbourhood without cars – that’s even too much for Green voters.”

    This article was amended on 13 February 2023 to correct the spelling of Graefekiez.

    ‘An embarrassment’: Romney on his sharp words for Santos

    [ad_1]

    “Trying to shake hands with every senator in the United States — given the fact that he’s under ethics investigation, he should be sitting in the back row and saying quiet, instead of parading in front of the president and people coming into the room,” Romney said.

    “I don’t think he ought to be in Congress and he certainly shouldn’t be in the aisle trying to shake the hand of the president of the states and dignitaries coming in. It’s an embarrassment,” the senator continued, adding: “If he had any shame at all, he wouldn’t be there.”

    When asked if the senator was disappointed that Speaker Kevin McCarthy had not called on Santos to resign, Romney replied: “Yes.”

    The New York congressman bit back at Romney after the State of the Union ended, tweeting at the 2012 Republican presidential nominee: “Just a reminder that you will NEVER be PRESIDENT!”

    Earlier in the night, Vice President Kamala Harris seemed to turn around when she saw Santos as she walked to the front, according to the Daily Beast.

    Santos is facing calls from all sides to resign over his rapidly multiplying scandals. The freshman congressman recently recused himself from his committee assignments amid investigations into his finances.

  • BJP leader Sunil Jakhar, Cong MP Manish Tewari engage in war of words on Twitter

    BJP leader Sunil Jakhar, Cong MP Manish Tewari engage in war of words on Twitter

    [ad_1]

    Chandigarh: BJP leader Sunil Jakhar and Congress MP Manish Tewari on Monday engaged in a war of words after the former used an article written by Tewari on the Adani issue to term the grand old party a “divided house”.

    Amid the ongoing Adani-Hindenburg row, Jakhar took a dig at Tewari and the Congress, which has showcaused its Patiala MP Preneet Kaur for alleged anti-party activities, saying if another notice was in the offing.

    Tewari, the Anandpur Sahib MP, hit back alleging Jakhar “never tries to understand anything holistically and thus tilts at windmills”.

    “Congress-a house divided ! While it blames Govt of collusion, its own Punjab MP, in an article, sees Hindenburg report as a geo-political conspiracy to sabotage India’s growing strategic prowess. Another show cause notice in offing, after one issued to Mrs Parneet Kaur?” tweeted Jakhar, a member of BJP’s national executive.

    The Congress suspended Preneet Kaur on February 3 and had also asked her to explain why she should not be expelled for anti-party activities.

    Kaur, the four-time MP from Patiala, is the wife of former chief minister Amarinder Singh, who joined the BJP after being ousted from the Congress.

    Reacting to Jakhar, Tewari said, “Difficulty with my friend @sunilkjakhar is-he never tries to read/understand anything holistically & thus tilts at windmills In my article in @IndianExpress I have explicitly laid out Case for a JPC. He perhaps never served on one. A JPC looks at all aspects fairly.”

    Jakhar replied to Tewari’s comment and said his tweet was aimed at the Congress.

    “Sh. @ManishTewari is right that I haven’t grasped the meaning of his word-play. It’s because I’m not a Janus faced person with abilities of doublespeak. Anyway my tweet was aimed at INC. My erudite friend getting riled up shows a Freudian slip – if not a tilt,” tweeted Jakhar, who joined the BJP after quitting the Congress last year.

    Tewari respond to Jakhar, saying, “Simple concepts like equity, fair play & impartiality when recommending a JPC probe are perhaps beyond feudal comprehension of my friend @sunilkjakhar not to talk of complex realities of financial markets & geo politics. Rest of his diatribe does not deserve dignity of a response.”

  • Rahul’s test on Kashmir – can he translate his words into action

    Rahul’s test on Kashmir – can he translate his words into action

    [ad_1]

    There was a perfect setting for the conclusion of the “Bharat Jodo Yatra”  heavy snowfall on Monday greeted Congress leaders at Sher-e-Kashmir cricket stadium in Srinagar that has been witness to many promises being made to the people of Kashmir, and then getting lost in the political turbulences in the country. Rahul Gandhi, the star walker of his foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, is the first scion of the Nehru-Gandhi family who spoke from the ramparts of the stadium, where BJP’s stalwart and statesman prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had extended India’s hand of friendship to Pakistan in April 2003.

    Rahul Gandhi had many firsts to his credit. He is the first leader who arrived in Kashmir by leading a foot march  from the southern-most tip of India –  Kanyakumari – to the northern most point – Kashmir, highlighting the day to day issues, ranging from price rise, unemployment and the need to defeat and deflate once for all the politics of hate. He also is the first leader who has attempted to reach out to Kashmiris when his party is not in power at the Centre, and he shared the stage with National Conference’s Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, two of the best known faces of  Kashmir’s regional parties. Congress has been a political ally of both the parties since early 2000s.

    The snowflakes did offer a perfect setting for Rahul Gandhi and his colleagues, including his sister-Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, but the issues which he touched upon did raise a question, what next for him and the promises that he made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Rahul was conscious of his political limitations as he could not speak as effectively as he would have wanted about the abrogation of Article 370 that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, though this constitutional provision stayed in the Indian constitution for almost 70 years because of his great grandfather and first prime minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru. His limitations can be understood,  the abrogation of the special status, indeed is a sensitive issue for the seven million people of Kashmir, but it also is a hyper sensitive issue for 1.3 billion people across the country. Kashmiris wanted Article 370 to stay but the rest of the Indians were against it. Congress, which claims to be the national party, could not have tripped on this issue. Hence, the guarded approach.

    Caution in politics is good, but real politics is about taking risks. It is one thing to undertake an arduous journey from one corner to the other of the country, and quite another to embark on a political journey where risks award rewards. Rahul Gandhi could not have sent a single message for the country, and  Kashmir excluded from it. He had to gel the two, that made him to speak about the elections and the statehood.  Now, it is to be seen that how serious is Congress about these issues. The people in Kashmir will judge him, and his Bharat Jodo Yatra, from that yardstick.  This is a test that he has proposed for himself. It is to be seen how he fulfils this commitment – it should not freeze like the  Kashmir snow that he experienced on Monday.

  • Hindu Conclave: Kerala Governor recalls words of Aligarh Muslim University founder

    Hindu Conclave: Kerala Governor recalls words of Aligarh Muslim University founder

    [ad_1]

    Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Saturday recalled the words of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, founder of the Aligarh Muslim University who was said to have urged to call him a “Hindu” over a century ago.

    While speaking at a Hindu conclave here, the Governor quoted the reported words of Sir Syed Khan that “you must call me a Hindu” which he had made during an Arya Samaj meeting.

    Khan said Sir Syed was given a reception by the Samaj members when he completed his tenure in the Legislative Council during the colonial regime.

    Recalling the words of the reformer-educationalist, Khan said he had asked the Samaj members why they didn’t call him a Hindu and made it clear that he did not consider “Hindu” as a religious term.

    “But, my serious complaint against you (Arya Samaj members) is that why don’t you call me a Hindu? I do not consider Hindu as a religious term…Hindu is a geographical term,” the Governor said recalling Syed Ahmed Khan’s words.

    Anybody who is born in India, anybody who lives on the food which is produced in India, anybody who drinks water from the rivers of India is entitled to call himself a Hindu and so “you must call me a Hindu”, Khan said quoting the Aligarh University founder’s words.

    Arif Mohammed Khan also said it was “perfectly fine” to use the terminology like Hindu, Muslim and Sikh during the colonial era because the Britishers had made the communities as the basis for deciding even the ordinary rights of citizens.

    The conclave was organised by the outfit Kerala Hindus of North America (KHNA).

    Union Minister V Muraleedharan took part in the concluding session of the conclave held at Muscat hotel here.

    He alleged a conspiracy has been going on in the state to make it feel that it is wrong to say “I am a Hindu”.

    Even before independence, the kings and rulers of the country, who believed in “sanatana dharma”, had accepted all religious groups with open arms, he said.

    In the same manner that the union government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is opening the door for people suffering persecution in neigbouring countries, he said.

    The union minister also stressed the need to bring all those who believe in “Sanatana Dharma” under one roof.

    Sonu Sood ‘at a loss for words’ as fan makes 87K-sq-ft portrait of actor

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: Bollywood actor and humanist Sonu Sood was pleasantly surprised after he got to know that an astounding 87,000 square feet portrait of him had been created in Kolhapur city of Maharashtra as a part of Republic Day celebrations.

    It took the artist and fan of the actor Vipul Shiripad Mirajkar a few days to make this astounding portrait at a public park, using over 7 tons of rangoli powder.

    The rangoli is now attracting thousands of visitors every day. The work of the actor through his foundation Sood Charity Foundation started with helping migrants reach home during Covid lockdown and is now into multiple endeavours across fields like public health and education.

    On the Bollywood front, Sonu will next be seen in ‘Fateh’, which is inspired by real-life incidents and will feature high-octane action sequences.

    The action-thriller is helmed by Abhinandan Gupta, who earlier worked as an assistant director on films such as ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Shamshera’.

    After ‘Fateh’, he will begin work on another movie ‘Kisaan’.
