Court has held that investigating agencies cannot freeze an individualâs entire bank account and must restrict action only to the disputed amount The order came in a case involving filmmaker Shwetambari Vikram Bhatt whose accounts had been frozen fully during a fraud investigation The court observed that freezing a bank account is an âextraordinary measureâ and should be used sparingly with due legal safeguardsIt ruled that debit restrictions should apply only to the alleged disputed amount around Rs 30 crore in this case and not the entire account âBlocking an account in a mechanical manner without establishing a direct link to the alleged offence violates fundamental rightsâ the Court noted citing Articles 21 and 191g of the Constitution The case stems from an FIR filed by Udaipurbased Dr Ajay Murdia against filmmakers Shwetambari Bhatt and Vikram Bhatt alleging fraud and criminal conspiracy According to the complaint a film production agreement was signed in May 2024 with an initial budget of Rs 40 croreIt is alleged that the budget was later inflated and additional funds were sought under the pretext of producing more films The complainant claims to have invested approximately Rs 4428 crore out of which nearly Rs 30 crore was allegedly misappropriated through fraudulent billing Despite the investment only one film was released while others remain incomplete or unstartedActing on instructions from the investigating officer in Udaipur banks had frozen all accounts of the Bhatt couple Their counsel argued that the funds were legitimate professional earnings and that due process was not followed It was also submitted that the freeze had paralysed their financial life affecting daily expenses salaries loan repayments and medical needs

wanted to live in a forest inspired by a cousin of mine and then a few years later I wanted to be an engineer and then once again I changed my mind to become a director Likewise I was heavily into Enid Blytons books which I abandoned when I discovered James Hadley Chase who I thought was the greatest writer ever And then after a few years I discovered Fredrick Forsyth who awed me beyond my imagination In effect we all keep getting reshaped from time to time because of newer and newer experiences which keep on elevating our bench marks as they should My bench mark films were The sound of

shared âWHY SYNDICATE and not SARKAR SYNDICATE is based on a premise â What if the entire law and order of INDIA collapses in just one single dayâ It will be almost like a HORROR film not because of any super natural elements but because it will bare open the horrors that exist in some human minds which they can enact TERRIFYINGLY SYNDICATE is about the rise of a organization so powerful so integrated and so maniacally driven that it threatens the very existence of INDIA I believe that SYNDICATE is something which will match up to the post Dhrandhar2 era and that is the reason for my decision Hereâs my take on why I want to wipe out my entire past and be a new born or a reborn director post watching Dhurandhar2 sicâHe expressed his wish to be inspired by the new school of Aditya Dhar as he wrote âBut now after seeing Dhurandhar2 all my earlier films look like nothing If Godfather was my earlier benchmark in this genre I now felt Dhurandhar2 is like Godfatherâs GODFATHER in the way it redefined and reinvented everything whether itâs craft storytelling style character design background music laying out emotional landscapes artistes performances action choreography etc etc etc So itâs common sense that I need to abandon the lessons learnt from the old schools of Coppola and join the new school of AdityaDharFilms and thatâs the only way one can stay updatedââIt will be a suicidal blunder on the part of any filmmakerwriterstar not to shed their egos and do an intensive academic research study of Dhurandhar2 and then take a deep re look and then rework on whatever they believed so far and drastically adapt By not doing so and if you all will still stick to the same old cinematic beliefs which were brutally killed on March 19 th 2026â he added IANS

âHey Kay Navinâ has shared his experience of working with actress Priya Bapat in the show âHey Kay Navinâ places him and Priya in a very different phase of a relationship compared to their earlier works together as actorsWhen asked if there was any reallife moment during the shoot that made him pause and think he said âI think the laziness of Aditya as a character is quite similar to me in real life There are moments especially when Priyaâs character Rama scolds Aditya that felt very relatable because thatâs exactly how Priya scolds me when I donât follow her decisions or react the way she expects me to That particular scene felt very close to me for this reasonâHe further mentioned âI didnât really have to act in it I was just being natural and reacting to Priyaâs lines I also feel Varun knows us so well that he probably writes these moments imagining how Priya would react in real life or handle a situation That said Rama and Priya are still two very different individuals with distinct personalities But thatâs really Varunâs strength his writing is so universal that any couple can relate to it It doesnât feel specific or limited it feels real and widely applicable As for me only one or two incidents are similar to my real life like the ones I mentionedâWhen asked if working on this series make him think differently about the idea of âbeing settledâ in life he said âI donât think the series made me think about the concept of âbeing settledâ but it definitely gave me a new perspective on how women think in certain situations It highlighted how women can be more sensitive and vulnerable whereas men often donât think in the same way and sometimes take things for granted A few moments in the series made me realise that men should be more considerate and at least try to understand things from a womanâs point of view so that they donât feel taken for granted or treated insensitivelyââHey Kay Navinâ is set to stream on March 31 on Marathi ZEE5 IANS

believes that honesty forms the backbone of any meaningful relationship especially when it comes to love Speaking about the idea of being a âKhuli Kitabâ or âan open bookâ in a relationship Saurabh shared that withholding the truth often causes more serious damage than the truth itselfâYou should not hide things at least I believe that Hiding has a problem because once it is broken or exposed it creates a feeling of betrayal And I have seen this very sensitively Iâm telling you this very clearly and Iâve understood it many timesâ Saurabh whose latest film is âJab Khuli Kitaabâ told IANSAccording to him the pain in such situations is not always about what happened but about being kept uninformedâItâs not about the act itâs about the fact that you were kept in the dark That becomes a bigger betrayalâ he explainedâIt starts questioning everything It makes you feel that your partner didnât trust you enough to understand and that hurts moreâHe stressed that openness strengthens the foundation of a relationship allowing partners to truly know each otherâSo I think that ideally you should have a relationship where you can be openâ said SaurabhReflecting on love and truth he recalled a line by poet Rumi âLight always enters through the crack in the wallââI came across a line by Rumiâ her line was âLight always enters through the crack in the wallâ and it was so wonderfulâTalking about the story of his film he said âSo what happens here This couple was leading a perfect life It was a strong love a wall without any cracks One truth came it broke the wall it cracked everything But as a byproduct what entered was the light of truth and the room got illuminated by this lightâHe added that once everything is out in the open there is nothing left to hide and partners begin to understand each other completely the good and the flawedâSo interestingly when the truth comes out there is nothing left to hide Then you know the odds and evens of your partner And if knowing everything you still stay together how truthful that relationship becomes Because you have understood this is how it is or how it was or how it happenedââSo thereâs nothing left to hide And thatâs exactly what they discover Then their romance and their love find a new definitionâ IANS

idea for a movie and I know its going to be an ambitious one If it doesnt sound reasonable for me to do it as an actor I dont even attempt to write the filmâHe further mentioned âAnd so that filter is what helps me because once I know that it is possible for me to play it as an actor I do that thinking about it for a couple of days before I start writing And if Im able if I know in my heart I can play the role the rest of it is just me focusing as a writer because in my head when Im imagining a scene Im not imagining myself or any other actor for that matterââIts just sort of all the actors

socially relevant and thoughtprovoking cinema has shared his opinion on the relationship between society and revolution The filmmakerproducer spoke with IANS at his office in the Andheri West area of Mumbai and shared that when oppression crosses a certain threshold revolution becomes inevitable and hits the existing systems like a trainwreckHe told IANS âRevolution is natural Its natural A volcano will erupt Similarly when an oppression takes place a lot of things get bottled then they erupt Its a natural process We dont rise from our sleep Revolutions keep smouldering slowly when we cant handle the oppression anymore it erupts like a volcano Time is the greatest teacher if we look at time or live through time he teaches us everythingâWhen asked what he considers as his responsibility to the medium of cinema and to the society at large he said âWell we must understand the sensitivity of every dialogue that we try to convey every image and every story The idea is to entertain the idea is to engage The idea also is to be able to stir certain emotionsââIf there is something that you could say you try and say it but always say it with sensitivity You dont have to avoid people you dont have to destabilize So the idea is to constructively negotiate and say what you want to say Keep it engaging keep it interestingâ he addedEarlier the filmmaker had spoken up on the issue of smaller films losing out to big ticket entertainers in terms of screen sharing He himself runs a multiplex in Jamshedpur and it gives him clear insight about the ground realities of the

where is Michael Jackson Anybody to take over Elvis Presley Bruce Springsteen Madonna Theres nobody who has achieved that kind of stardom that iconic presenceâ he addedAccording to Milind the shift has largely happened because a major chunk of the audiences today consume content in a much more segmented wayâItâs not there because the audience doesnt want it Its so fragmented today that everybody
