EXCLUSIVE: Akshay Kumar–Anees Bazmee reunite for madcap love triangle – a reimagined Sankranthiki Vasthunam; to go on floors in February 2026

Anees Bazmee and Akshay Kumar are reuniting after tasting success together in films like Welcome and Singh Is Kinng. And now, our reliable sources have confirmed that Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee’s next is a reimagined version of Venkatesh-led Sankranthiki Vasthunam. The film will be produced by Dil Raju and is touted to be an out-and-out comic entertainer. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Anees and Akshay loved the plot of the lead character stuck between his wife and ex-girlfriend that Sankranthiki Vasthunam rides on. However, the original had a lot of Telugu flavour. To make the film palatable for the Hindi audience, Anees Bazmee is reimagining the film, keeping the core plot intact.”The source further told Bollywood Hungama, “Anees is a master of cracking new screenplays based on already established films, and this one too will not just be bigger than the original, but also funnier, as he plans to put together a lot of gags in the narrative, which were not present in the original film. Over the three decades, Bazmee has written several love triangles in the comic space, and this one falls in his zone of situational comedy.”The writing work is going on in full swing, and the makers are aiming to take the untitled film on floors in February 2026. The film is not a remake, but a reimagined take on the original film, as the screenplay will be packaged with new scenes. “It’s 60 per cent of fresh sequences, and just 40 per cent original to keep the essence of the plot intact.”Also Read: Akshay Kumar and Disha Patani wrap up ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ song shoot in Dubai.

Europe’s Race to Net-Zero – and Total Self-Destruction? by Drieu Godefridi

Today, China is responsible for nearly 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions five times Europe’s current emissions and one-third of the global total. Europe’s misguided decarbonization has handed its prosperity to China on a silver platter. Moreover, it has done so through the European Union. Many people despise the EU without really knowing why. Now they do. We mock the credulity of ancient peoples who believed in myriad deities, to whom they did not hesitate to offer human sacrifices even children. We feel only contempt for such myths. Yet today, the European Union is sacrificing 500 million citizens on the altar of a faceless green god. Not a single European will die from “global warming.” But millions could die from not being able to heat their homes during the winter. Crucially, however, China has also been investing billions in nuclear-fusion energy to provide limitless clean, cheap energy for the unimaginable amounts of electricity that will be required for global dominance in artificial intelligence. The lifespan of a wind turbine is short. By 2030, around 14, 000 of them will need to be replaced in Europe. How fortunate! Simply do not replace them. The issue is easy: the semi-public companies managing these turbines have set aside nothing at all not a single cent for their replacement. All that is needed is to dismantle and remove them. Think of it: our landscapes will no longer be dotted with these useless eyesores. Then we can all write them off as a bet that was lost. In 1992, global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions stood at 22. 3 billion metric tons. By 2024, they had reached a record high of 37. 4 billion tons- an increase of nearly 68%. Europe, by comparison, emitted 4 billion tons in 1992. By 2023, this figure had fallen to around 2. 5 billion tons, a reduction of approximately 40% on a global scale, a derisory amount. China, for its part, emitted only 2. 5 billion tons of CO₂ in 1992. Today, China is responsible for nearly 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions five times Europe’s current emissions and one-third of the global total.

Exports slipped in October – UOB Group

The post Exports slipped in October UOB Group appeared com. China’s exports contracted for the first time since February and imports slowed more than expected in October. The slowdown in October trade was partly due to an additional day of holiday in October this year compared to 2024 while intensified trade tensions with the US added to the uncertainties, UOB Group’s Economist Ho Woei Chen reports. Outlook to stabilize amid trade truce “Total exports unexpectedly fell -1. 1% y/y in USD-terms (Bloomberg est: 2. 9%, September: 8. 3%) and -0. 8% y/y in CNY-terms (September: 8. 4%). Imports grew 1. 0% y/y (Bloomberg est: 2. 7%, September: 7. 4%) in USD-terms and 1. 4% y/y (September: 7. 5%) in CNYterms. China’s trade surplus narrowed slightly to US$90. 07 bn from US$90. 45 bn in September.” “Exports to the US contracted by double-digit pace for the 7th consecutive month since Apr. The decline narrowed slightly to -25. 2% y/y in October from -27. 0% y/y in September, bringing the YTD contraction to -17. 8% y/y. In October, export growth was led by markets such as Vietnam (+22. 4%), Hong Kong (+20. 9%), Singapore (+16. 8%) and South Africa (+14. 3%). Overall, ASEAN remained the largest market for Chinese goods, accounting for 17. 5% share. Exports to the EU moderated with growth slowing to 0. 9% y/y from 14. 2% y/y in September.” “By key products, the strongest export growth was seen in ships, rare earths, motor vehicles, semiconductors and LCD panels which grew at a double-digit pace in October. On the other hand, contractions continued to be the worst for consumer goods such as toys, footwear, handbags and garments. This likely suggests the shift in some of these demand to other overseas production due to US’ tariffs. China increased its rare earth export in October amid its tensions with the US. In volume terms, rare earth shipments rose 8. 6% compared to September, to 4, 343 tons in October after falling noticeably in the three.
