Kishore is trading his cop badge for a gym teacher's whistle this year. The actor known for gritty roles got weirdly emotional about his new film, Mellisai. He admitted the project left a deep mark on him, which is not something you usually hear from hardcore action stars. Kishore plays a physical education teacher, a total shift from his usual intense screen presence.
He called the story honest and gimmick-free, focusing on normal people with quiet dreams. The role apparently reminded him why he started acting in the first place. Kishore thanked director Dhirav and the entire crew for shaping the journey with what he called sensitivity.
Sources describe the narrative as a gentle look at daily life and emotional truth. It supposedly...
Diljit Dosanjh just dropped a surprise collab with J Balvin for his birthday. The Punjabi star, who celebrated turning 42 last Tuesday, teased the track called Senorita on his Instagram. He gave a shoutout to his Colombian big brother, sending fans of both artists into a complete frenzy. This global link-up is slated to hit platforms this week.
Balvin is no small deal. The guy basically runs reggaeton. He broke records as the first Latino headliner at Coachella and Tomorrowland. His trophy case is stacked with Billboard Latin Awards and Grammy nods. Tracks like Mi Gente and I Like It with Cardi B dominated charts globally. The dude sparked a whole musical revolution.
Meanwhile, Diljit has his own massive project brewing. He is set to...
A Ugandan court just booted a businessman from a prime Kampala property after a wild ownership saga. The High Court ruled that Shukla Mukesh and his companies illegally occupied part of Shumuk House on Colville Street. They have until March 23rd to vacate or face forced eviction. The decision covers twenty-four condominium units within the building.
Justice Stephen Mubiru found the late tycoon Bonney Katatumba sold those specific units twice. He first sold batches to two other buyers, Joseph Ssempebwa and Peter Lule. Katatumba then tried selling the entire building to Mukesh's firms without resolving those prior sales. Both of those bigger deals fell apart due to non-payment.
The judge said Katatumba acted illegally. The earlier...
Activists see Uganda's fishing reform plan as just another political facade. Groups called out the government this week, demanding real community control over lake landing sites instead of cosmetic changes. This came after the president's late December order to dissolve abusive committees and the notorious Fisheries Protection Unit. Millions depend on these lakes for food and jobs.
The directive followed years of documented rights violations. Advocates warn that simply forming new committees changes nothing without genuine power shifts. They suspect a pre-election stunt. One director stressed the need for action within fifteen days, not vague three-month timelines, to prove serious intent.
Abuses are rampant around oil projects on...
Another preventable construction death highlights negligent site safety. A worker died yesterday when an old septic tank caved in during excavation at the West Mall Building in Komamboga, Kampala. Police confirmed the January 6th collapse trapped several people. The deceased was a twenty-eight-year-old plumber named Mukwaya Abubakar.
He was buried under debris and died on the spot. Two other casual laborers escaped. One suffered a broken arm and got taken to a clinic. The team had been digging a new tank after a sewage blockage. Preliminary findings suggest they dug too close to the existing structure.
Officers from Kira Road Division documented the scene. The fire department had to use an excavator to recover the body. It was sent to...
Uganda's economy kept grinding, but the wheels are getting hot. New figures showed business activity grew again in December, marking a full year of expansion, but hiring froze completely after ten straight months of gains. The Stanbic PMI ticked up to 54.0 from 53.8. Everything costs more for companies, especially water, power, and construction materials.
Firms just passed those expenses to customers because demand stayed strong. People kept buying stuff through the holiday season. Output and new orders climbed for the eleventh month running. Backlogs of work piled up since staffing levels basically flatlined.
Their economist noted the private sector was still upbeat. Consumer demand drove the whole engine. With orders mounting...
Another political hopeful gets wrecked by the calendar and a weak WhatsApp paper trail. The High Court in Kampala just shut down Patrick Kyamukaate Mutabwire's attempt to revive his parliamentary bid, ruling he missed a critical deadline to appeal his disqualification. Justice Collins Acellam dismissed the application this Wednesday, finding no special circumstances to excuse the delay.
Mutabwire sought to represent older persons in Western Uganda. The Electoral Commission nullified his nomination back on November 23rd following a rival's complaint. He claimed he only received the ruling on December 8th after pestering officials via WhatsApp. His evidence consisted largely of message screenshots.
His rival, Tuhairwe Jackson, and the...
The US Navy just straight-up jacked a Russian tanker on the high seas. American forces seized the vessel Marinera south of Iceland this Wednesday, an empty crude carrier flying a Russian flag. Moscow is screaming piracy, claiming the boarding around 3 PM their time violated maritime law. Washington called it simple sanctions enforcement against Venezuela's dark fleet.
The Russian Transport Ministry said communication with the ship dropped after the boarding. They cited international law protecting navigation on the high seas. US officials framed the move as part of Operation Southern Spear, their blockade of Venezuelan oil. They stated that the enforcement applies globally, and flag changes do not matter.
This tanker had a sketchy...
Campaign season brings the classic sugar bribe; cops find a councillor knee-deep in it. Police in Mukono District just nabbed seven people, including a district councillor, for allegedly packing sugar to sway voters ahead of tomorrow's election. The operation went down at the Happy Land Guest House in Katosi Town Council on Tuesday afternoon.
The arrested councillor is Nakito Moreen Birungi. The other six are local residents from various walks of life, even a seventeen-year-old student. Cops say they were caught red-handed packaging half-kilo bags of sugar. Each bag had a small campaign poster inside for a specific parliamentary candidate.
That candidate is Nsubuga Kenneth Ssegabayunga, the Democratic Party flag bearer for Mukono...
