Floods and street food framed this actress's latest role shoot. Pavitra Punia is hyping her new character in a streaming series called Prayagraj Ki Love Story. She called the project special, her second with the platform. The team filmed entirely on location in the city's real streets and alleys.
After filming wrapped each day, the cast would hit local chaat spots and drink kulhad chai. Punia visited the Sangam, calling it a profound experience. She collected countless memories, labeling it one of her best shoots ever. The experience was not all perfect, however. A major flood hit during production.
She saw riverside houses submerged and animals fighting the water. The disaster forced them to abandon shoots near certain temples. The...
Kristen Stewart just volunteered to reboot the vampire saga that made her famous. The actress declared she would absolutely love to direct a new version of Twilight. She mentioned needing a massive budget and tons of fan support for the hypothetical project. Stewart praised the original directors for their weird, present energy before the franchise exploded globally.
She starred in the series alongside Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. The five films collectively raked in over three billion dollars worldwide. While Stewart seems eager, Pattinson likely feels different. He admitted a few years back to being infuriated on set, clashing with the studio over his artistic vision for the character.
Stewart recently stepped behind the...
Sonam Kapoor dropped a post on Instagram stories about signs saving the world this year. She tagged her spouse, Anand Ahuja, labeling him her permanent knight in shining armor. The caption suggested he constantly rescues her from her own chaos.
The couple had a lavish ceremony a few years back. They welcomed their first child a while ago. She announced a second pregnancy late last year with a hot-pink suit photo. Rumors had swirled for months prior. Her last film role was in a crime thriller remake a few years back.
Her career began with an assistant director gig way back. She later acted in various notable projects over the years. A planned film adaptation of a popular novel, produced by her sister, remains stuck in development hell...
That plan to keep the president in power hit a wall, and they are pretending it is a strategy. The ruling party missed its own deadline late last year to publish constitutional amendments extending the presidential term. A party official now calls it a recalibration, not a delay. They still aim to push the change through parliament this year, avoiding a public referendum.
The justice minister had hinted that the draft would be gazetted before the new year. That did not happen. The goal remains to move the end of the current term from 2028 to 2030. This is despite the president calling himself a constitutionalist who would not overstay. A party commissar argued in court that the process is a parliamentary technical odyssey, not a...
Two guys convicted in that goat scheme scam are trying to buy an appeal. Businessmen Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu had their plea heard this week. A High Court judge is now deciding whether they can challenge their fraud convictions and prison sentences from late last year. They got twelve and seventeen years, respectively, for swindling over seven million dollars from a government livestock tender.
Their lawyers argued the court got it wrong, claiming the state never proved essential fraud elements. Justice Pisirayi Kwenda said he needed time to review the application and the prosecution's response. He promised a ruling without undue delay. Outside the courtroom, their legal team acted unfazed, calling the delay a normal procedure...
The world cross country championships are happening in a random Florida park this year. For the first time since the early nineties, the global event returns to the United States. Over five hundred athletes from sixty countries will tackle the redesigned course at Apalachee Regional Park. It marks a major international sports moment on American soil.
Zimbabwe sends a squad of seven runners. National champions Godwin Katakura and Caroline Mhandu lead the group. They aim for record finishes against elite competition. The senior men's race includes Wayne Kabondo and US-based Bradley Makuvire. Answer Tasara joins Mhandu in the women's event. Two junior athletes round out the team.
Their athletics association president voiced cautious...
A boxing coach says the sport needs a cultural shift, not just tougher fighters. Ali Phiri, who runs OTTO Boxing Club, argued Zimbabweans should stop viewing boxing as mere violence. He made the comments earlier this week, pointing to painfully low participation levels locally and internationally over the past year.
Phiri stated the government must step in as a key player. He noted efforts last year went nowhere, hoping for change this spring. The main hurdle is public perception, with many linking the sport only to pain and punishment. He admitted that training is brutally difficult, causing many to quit.
He pointed to nations like Tanzania, where weekly competitions are standard. Zimbabwe lacks that consistent structure. Beyond...
That lithium miner just bought itself more time after missing key deadlines. Premier African Minerals secured an extension on a major supply deal with Canmax Technologies. They originally signed the pact a few years back, getting upfront cash in exchange for future spodumene concentrate from their Zulu project in Zimbabwe. The company failed to meet its obligations, forcing this renegotiation.
The new long stop date moves to the middle of this year. The alternative is finding a reputable buyer acceptable to Canmax to settle the debt before that. Conditions prevent changing the top brass at either company without approval. A security package from late last year must stay in place. Canmax keeps all its rights to enforce terms.
The Zulu...
That manufacturing group just bled millions after finally axing its worst division. Art Holdings posted a comprehensive loss of three and a half million dollars for last year. This mess followed the dumping of their failing paper and tissue milling operation. The loss from continuing operations alone was nearly one point four million as revenue dropped seventeen percent.
Weak market conditions and brutal price pressures crushed them. Sales volumes still fell five percent despite slashing prices to compete. The now-dead paper unit kicked in a further two point two million in losses on its way out. Gross profit margins shrank by ten percent.
They did cut operating expenses by over a quarter through severe cost containment. Capital...
