The original Avengers: Endgame was released back in 2019, showcasing the climactic battle between the Avengers and Thanos. It was part of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, closing the curtain on the 22 movies prior to it with a fitting end for the heroes. Following this, Spider-Man: No Way Home concluded Phase 3, moving the tale ahead and introducing even more characters to the ever-growing franchise.

Now, fans are geared up for Avengers: Doomsday. To better prepare us for this film, Avengers: Endgame: Encore will be released with an additional four minutes of footage, which will serve as a narrative bridge between the two movies.

Avengers: Doomsday marks the beginning of Marvel Studios’ epic two-part Multiverse Saga finale, setting the stage for Avengers: Secret Wars. The film brings together heroes from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Wakandans, and the New Avengers, as they unite against a common enemy: Victor Von Doom, aka Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.

Daayra is just a couple of days away from its theatrical release. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Meghna Gulzar, the film stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. It follows the two actors as police officers on opposite sides of a case, each fighting for justice in their own way. Inspired by several true events, Daayra will release in theatres on September 18.

Ahead of the release, Meghna Gulzar, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran travelled to Delhi for a press conference, where they interacted with the media and students.

For the event, Kareena opted for a beautiful pink saree featuring floral patterns. She wore her hair in a bun adorned with flowers and completed her look with blush-toned makeup, smoky eyes and light lips.

Sharing photos from the event, Kareena wrote, “The bravest will be seated on 18th September… Slow burn but a sure burn… Daayra arrives in cinemas this Friday.”

Check out her photos below:

Rashmika Mandanna looked dazzling at the launch of her upcoming film, a biopic on legendary Carnatic vocalist M.S. Subbulakshmi. She wore a stunning blue silk saree that embodied classic elegance. Sporting a rich and vibrant shade of traditional blue, her saree had fine silk with an authentic drape. Adding to her vintage appeal, she kept accessories minimal with classic Indian jewellery that looked fitting for the event.

Rashmika recites Subbulakshmi’s devotional track

While Rashmika thanked the filmmakers for the opportunity to be part of such a prestigious film, what caught everyone’s attention was how she demonstrated her respect for the legendary singer. When Kamal Haasan sounded the clapboard for the first scene, Rashmika recited the famous devotional track, Bhagyada Lakshmi Baramma. Subbulakshmi, along with her daughter and accompanist Radha Viswanathan, recorded this timeless and widely cherished rendition of this prayer dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi. The crowd (as a chorus) also joined her for the act.

Music empress

Kamal Haasan, who attended the event as the guest of honour, described Subbulakshmi as ‘the musical empress who united India through her voice.’ No matter which language she sang in, Amma (Subbulakshmi) elevated its beauty through her music. That is the timeless message her music has given all of us.”
