A picture circulating since New Year’s Day showing actor Shah Rukh Khan, his wife Gauri Khan, and son Aryan Khan offering prayers at Mecca has been declared fake. The photo, which shows Gauri in a black kurti with a grey hijab and Shah Rukh in a white kurta, sparked much attention. Aryan is seen standing behind Gauri, looking at his father, with the Mecca backdrop adding authenticity.

However, according to an NDTV report, the picture is not genuine. It was created using Deepfake or other Artificial Intelligence technology, not a real photograph. While many social media users initially believed the image to be authentic, others quickly identified it as AI-generated.

In a 2005 episode of Koffee with Karan, Gauri Khan shared her thoughts on Shah Rukh’s religion, stating, “I respect Shah Rukh’s religion, but that doesn’t mean I would convert and become a Muslim. Everyone is an individual and follows their religion.”

Shah Rukh and Gauri, who began dating in the late 1980s, married in 1991. They have three children: Aryan, Suhana Khan, and AbRam Khan.

Aryan is preparing for his directorial debut with Stardom, a Netflix India series about the film industry. It will be produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and star Bobby Deol and Mona Singh.

Shah Rukh, meanwhile, is set to appear in the upcoming crime drama King, which will also feature his daughter Suhana. The film is expected to release next year.

Actor Kajal Aggarwal has revealed her first look from Kannappa, an upcoming mythological fantasy film. The movie stars Kajal alongside Akshay Kumar and Prabhas. Taking to Instagram, Kajal shared her portrayal of Parvati Devi, calling it a “dream role” and expressing excitement to start 2025 with this divine character.

In the newly released poster, Kajal is seen wearing a white saree, paired with heavy jewelry, and exuding grace. The poster features the tagline: “Mother who rules over the three worlds! The Trishakti who protects her devotees! In the sacred Sri Kalahasti shrine resides the holy Jana Prasunambika!”

Kajal’s Instagram post was filled with enthusiasm as she captioned it, “A dream role indeed! Happy to be starting 2025 on this divine note #Kannappa #HarHarMahadev #MAAParvatiDevi.” The post received a warm comment from actor Tamannaah Bhatia, who called Kajal “so beautiful.”

Kannappa is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Vishnu Manchu under the banners AVA Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory. The film also stars Prabhas, Preity Mukhundhan, Mohanlal, Mohan Babu, R Sarathkumar, Brahmanandam, Madhoo, and Mukesh Rishi. It will be released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and English.

The movie tells the story of the legendary warrior Kannappa, a great devotee of Lord Shiva. It chronicles his transformation from a hunter to a warrior and eventually a saint, earning him the revered title of Nayanar.

The film’s music is composed by Mani Sharma and Stephen Devassy, while cinematography is by Sheldon Chau. Kannappa is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 25, 2025. The teaser was shown at the Cannes Film Festival last year, receiving a positive response from audiences.

Actor Allu Arjun visited KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad’s Begumpet on Tuesday to meet Sri Teja, the child injured during the Sandhya Theatre stampede. The tragic incident occurred during the premiere of Arjun’s latest film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. The boy, seriously injured in the stampede, is receiving constant medical care.

Several videos showed Arjun arriving at the hospital in a green sweater and black pants. Telangana State Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju accompanied him. Enhanced security measures were implemented to ensure public safety during the visit.

Arjun had initially planned to visit the hospital on January 5 but postponed the trip due to police advisories. The Ramgopalpet Police Station issued a notice advising him to maintain confidentiality to avoid disruptions at the hospital.

The actor expressed deep concern for the injured boy and wished him a swift recovery. Earlier, he stated he had been eager to meet the child but delayed the visit due to ongoing legal proceedings.

As of December 24, 2024, positive signs of recovery were reported. Sri Teja responded after being unresponsive for 20 days. His father, Bhaskar, expressed gratitude for Arjun’s and the Telangana government’s support.

The stampede at Sandhya Theatre occurred on December 4 when fans gathered for the Pushpa 2 premiere. The tragedy claimed the life of a woman named Revathi and left her son severely injured. A case was filed against Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management.

Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 but was granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court on December 14. He received regular bail on January 3. He is listed as Accused No. 11 in the ongoing investigation.
