The release date for the next installment in the Jurassic World franchise has been locked. Universal Pictures announced that it plans to release the dinosaur-focused film on July 2, 2025, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

Also, filmmaker David Leitch is in talks to direct the project. David Koepp, who is best known for penning Steven Spielberg’s original 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park and its 1997 sequel Jurassic Park: The Lost World, has come on board to write the follow-up to 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion.

The publication earlier reported that the forthcoming film is set to launch a “new Jurassic era,” seemingly suggesting that the characters played by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard that originated in Colin Trevorrow’s 2015 Jurassic World would not be involved. That film was followed by J.A. Bayona’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in 2015.

The characters played by Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum in the original Jurassic Park saga are also unlikely to return in the fourth Jurassic World movie. The three performers co-starred with Pratt and Howard in Dominion.

Spielberg is set to executive produce the new movie through his company Amblin Entertainment. Fellow Jurassic Park vets Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley will also serve as producers, alongside Leitch and Kelly McCormick of 87North.

Chandigarh mayoral polls: AAP members on hunger strike at MC removed by police!

The AAP councillors, who tried to enter the municipal corporation office, were barred from entry by the police personnel deployed on the premises, following which they got into an argument with them.

Aam Aadmi Party councillors got into an argument with police after they were barred from entering the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation office on Monday on the second day of the party’s protest against the BJP over alleged “rigging” in the recent mayoral polls.

Five AAP workers, including a councillor, who sat on a hunger strike outside the municipal corporation office were also removed by the police. The police later detained the protesters who had gathered at the site.

The AAP councillors, led by Sunny Ahluwalia, the party’s Chandigarh co-incharge, raised slogans against the BJP and demanded action against the presiding officer for allegedly tampering with the ballot papers during the mayoral polls.

The AAP councillors, who tried to enter the municipal corporation office, were barred from entry by the police personnel deployed on the premises, following which they got into an argument with them.

“We have every right to enter the municipal corporation office,” said Prem Lata, an AAP councillor. A large police contingent was deployed and barricades were erected outside the office.

Ahluwalia had earlier said that from Sunday, five AAP members — one leader and four councillors — would observe a hunger strike. Another five members would sit on a hunger strike the following day.

hunger strike at MC removed by police

“This relay hunger strike is against the ‘vote chor (vote thief)’ BJP and to save our democracy,” he had said. The protesters on hunger strike on Monday, however, were removed by the police.

The BJP on January 30 swept the Chandigarh mayoral polls against the Congress-AAP alliance. Manoj Sonkar of the BJP had defeated the AAP’s Kuldeep Dhalor for the mayor’s post, polling 16 votes against his rival’s 12. Eight votes were declared invalid.

The opposition councillors alleged that presiding officer Anil Masih had tampered with the ballot papers, a charge rubbished by the BJP.

The AAP moved the Punjab and Haryana high court and sought fresh elections under the supervision of a retired judge but the court refused to grant any interim relief.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Dhalor’s plea challenging the high court order.

The PR firm for Poonam Pandey issues an apology for the fake death, claiming that Sitharaman’s reference to cervical cancer “made no change!

by Leave a Comment

Poonam Pandey’s PR agency Schbang have apologized for faking her death as part of a cervical cancer awareness campaign, sparking controversy and questioning the ethics of such tactics!

Poonam Pandey fake death

Poonam Pandey had kicked up a controversial storm inviting backlash on Saturday after revealing she had faked her death in an Instagram post as part of a cervical cancer awareness campaign. Now, Pandey’s PR agency, Schbang, has issued a statement apologising for their actions.

The actions by Poonam Pandey and her agency Schbang has questioned the ethics of using these tactics for raising awareness for a health campaign.

In a statement posted on Instagram, Schbang apologised for their actions, particularly to those who have faced or witnessed the challenges of cancer.

“Yes, we were involved in the initiative for Poonam Pandey to spread awareness about Cervical Cancer in collaboration with Hauterfly. To start off, we would like to extend a heartfelt apology – especially towards those who have been triggered as a result of having faced/having a loved one face the hardships of any kind of Cancer,” a statement read.

The PR agency of Poonam Pandey, Schbang, also claimed that that there was no “curiosity regarding cervical cancer” when Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned it during the Union Budget Session 2024 on 1 February. 

“Our actions were driven by a singular mission – to elevate awareness about Cervical Cancer. In 2022, India registered 123,907 Cervical Cancer cases and 77,348 deaths. After Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer is the second-most frequent malignancy affecting middle aged women in India,” the PR agency’s statement added. 

Justifying Poonam Pandey’s actions that triggered a furore across the nation, the agency claimed her mother battled cancer.

“Many of you may be unaware but Poonam’s own mother has bravely battled Cancer. Having been through the challenges of battling a disease like this at such close personal quarters, she understands the importance of prevention and the criticality of awareness, especially when a vaccine is available,” it added.

Poonam Pandey “bravely fought the disease” and died, on Friday Schbang posted on Poonam Pandey’s Instagram handle, but the fake announcement was soon met with online criticism that included accusations it was a “deceptive stunt”.

A flurry of obituaries from media outlets followed the original announcement and Poonam Pandey’s Wikipedia page was also updated to reflect her apparent death, while Bollywood stars posted mournful tributes.

But others had expressed scepticism after noticing that footage of Pandey aboard a boat in Goa, apparently in good health, had been posted to her account four days before the announcement.

The 32-year-old conceded to her 1.3 million followers in another video posted on Instagram that her death had been a hoax.

“Yes, I faked my demise, extreme I know. But suddenly we all are talking about cervical cancer, aren’t we?” Poonam Pandey said. “I am proud of what my death news has been able to achieve.”

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test, Day 1: Rajat Patidar out but Yashasvi Jaiswal nears 150!

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test, Day 1: Yashasvi Jaiswal got to his century with a six. Follow live updates of IND vs ENG here!

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test, Day 1: Yashasvi Jaiswal has made the most of the start he got in Visakhapatnam by scoring his second Test century. Jaiswal was far more measured in the early part of his innings than in the first Test, biding his time and waiting for the bad balls with opening partner and captain Rohit Sharma at the other end. Rohit had won the toss and chosen to bat first. He ended up becoming spinner Shoaib Bashir’s maiden Test wicket after which Shubman Gill joined Jaiswal and continued on the watchful approach. Eventually, though, the former switched gears and was looking primed for a for a big score when he was undone by the genius of James Anderson. England were then pegged back by a 90-run stand between Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer, with the pair seeing India through to Lunch and then keeping them steady for much of the first half of the second session. Iyer couldn’t convert his start though, falling for 27 off 59 to Tom Hartley. This brought debutant Rajat Patidar to the crease.

Rohit earlier confirmed at the toss that Patidar will be making his debut as a replacement for the injured KL Rahul. Additionally, India have also decided to play Kuldeep Yadav as opposed to going for the all-round option of Washington Sundar in place of Ravindra Jadeja while pacer Mohammed Siraj has been rested and Mukesh Kumar takes his place. Patidar was handed his maiden Test cap minutes before the toss, thus ending speculation about whether it would be him or Sarfaraz Khan who will get to play.

After the first Test ended in four days, the action moves to Visakhapatnam – Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA stadium being the venue – where the second game of the five-match series starts today. India were dealt a shock in Hyderabad by England and then were handed a couple more blows in the days since that first Test ended. However, coming back from 1-0 down in a home series is not something they haven’t done before, even in the recent past in which they have been so dominant at home. India had lost the first of the four-Test series the last time they hosted England and then went on to win it 3-1.

However, India have a couple of complications to deal with in the form of the in-form KL Rahul being ruled out along with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. The latter’s absence could particularly sting the host with Jadeja being crucial to the team’s cause in Test cricket with ball, bat and in the field in recent years. Kuldeep Yadav could get a chance to feature in the squad. He has missed 56 of India’s 64 Tests since making his debut in 2017. He has been patient to wait for his opportunity which are hard to come by. But the second Test could give him a window that he has been eagerly waiting for. Another frontrunner to replace Jadeja could be Washington Sundar. While Kuldeep may have more experience, Sundar is arguably a better fit as Jadeja’s replacement because of the fact that he is a genuine all-rounder. And of course, there is no Virat Kohli either.

Here are some highlights around India vs England 2nd Test Day 1 here:

– India have won the toss and chosen to bat first

– Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal were off to a watchful start

– Shoaib Bashir got his maiden Test wicket in the form of Rohit, who fell on 14

– India are unbeaten in Tests in Visakhapatnam with a 2-0 record following wins over England in 2016 and South Africa in 2019.

– ⁠It was at this very venue that Rohit Sharma scores twin centuries in his first Test as opener.

– ⁠With KL Rahul out, the toss up is between Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan to make Test debut.

– ⁠England have included James Anderson in their Playing XI, which means this is England’s sixth tour of India in which he will be playing a Test.

– ⁠Jasprit Bumrah needs 3 more strikes to complete 50 Test wickets against England.

– ⁠Ravichandran Ashwin is 4 away from 500 Test wickets for India.
