In the clip, he moved his camera towards Jackie Shroff's feet and said, "He is not wearing shoes."Both also chanted, "Jai Siya Ram."The grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya was inaugurated, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending the rituals.PM Modi also showered petals on workers, who were a part of the construction team that shaped the grand Ramn Temple.He was also seen sprinkling flowers on the idol of Jatayu at the Ram Temple premises and also offered prayers to Lord Shiva in Ayodhya Dham.While addressing the dignitaries invited to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, PM Modi said the unveiling of the Ram Lalla idol is not only a moment of triumph after a prolonged struggle but also one of humility."This is not just a moment of celebration for us all but also one to reflect the coming of age of the Indian society. This occasion is as much about triumph as it is about humility. The world is replete with instances of countries that faced a lot of difficulties resolving historic wrongs and injustices.

Such people lacked an understanding of the purity of our society, the spirit that binds us all. This majestic abode of Shri Ram Lalla will now stand as a symbol of peace, patience, mutual harmony and social unity. The construction of this temple did not set off a fire but exuded a positive energy that has been infectious for us all," he added.He added that the Ayodhya temple also testifies to a renewed national consciousness of Lord Ram and his place in our everyday lives.

"Don't want to make my viewers uncomfortable:" Rohit Shetty says there's no abusive content in his debut OTT series

20 Jan 2024

Indian Police Force', which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, filmmaker Rohit Shetty said it doesn't have any unnecessary abusive content.The web series, starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty and Vivek Oberoi, marks a departure from shows that come with bold and abusive content.In an exclusive interview with ANI, the helmer of 'Golmaal' franchise, 'Dilwale' and several other blockbusters, said, "Some bold and abusive content on OTT platforms are central to the plot or storyline but there are others where such content seems forced as there is no censorship. I didn't want to make my viewers uncomfortable. There are happy-go-lucky films, mass entertainers and commercial films. There is a family audience for such films.""My audiences come to watch my films in the belief that if it's Rohit's film, we will be entertained and we can watch it with our family members. So I want them to be comfortable regardless of whether they are watching my work in theatres, on television and streaming platforms. There is no unnecessary abuse and nudity," the filmmaker said.On the experience of creating content for OTT and how different it was from making movies, Rohit said, "As it would have been too much for me to shoot all seven episodes in this series, I introduced my assistant director Sushwanth Prakash as a co-director for this show. I had him shoot the entire terror part of the series and told him that I won't be coming to the set during the filming of this part. I told him to shoot the whole criminal part while I took care of the police part. I told him that at some point in the show, our paths will cross and I will take the story forward from there.""Both are part of a common narrative and will merge at some point. This was a bit of an experiment. There is the police and there are some negative characters, with one on a hunt for the other. However, the general tone and tenor of the narrative is the same as you see in my films," he added.Created by Rohit, the action-packed, seven-episode series started streaming on Prime Video on January 19. While the new series is going well and has received strong viewership numbers, Shetty also has high hopes around his next film 'Singham Again,' which is the third installment of the super-hit cop-based franchise.The film is all set to hit theatres on Independence Day.'Singham' was released in 2011, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj in lead roles, followed by 'Singham Returns' in 2014. Both projects were declared box office hits.
