Dev Anand's son Suneil Anand passes away at 70 after suffering a heart attack in London
Veteran actor and filmmaker Suneil Anand, son of legendary Bollywood icon Dev Anand, has passed away at the age of 70 after suffering a heart attack in London, according to multiple reports.
Suneil Anand made his acting debut in 1984 with Anand Aur Anand, a film directed and produced by his father. Although launched under the prestigious Navketan Films banner, he largely stayed away from the limelight after his acting career and maintained a low public profile while remaining associated with his family's cinematic legacy.
His passing marks another emotional chapter for one of Indian cinema's most celebrated families. Dev Anand, fondly remembered as the "Evergreen Star" of Hindi cinema, passed away in London in 2011, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy that continues to inspire generations of filmmakers and movie lovers.
May Suneil Anand's soul rest in peace. Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and admirers during this difficult time.

Kangana Ranaut calls Gen Z 'Generation Gutter' amid NEET protest controversy
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has sparked fresh controversy after referring to sections of Generation Z as "Generation Gutter" in a series of Instagram posts following the recent NEET protest.
She criticized the language used in protest videos, describing it as "jarring" and "crass," while questioning the upbringing of some participants.
Ranaut also took aim at what she described as "so-called westernised Indian women," arguing that independence should be accompanied by responsibility and accountability.
Her remarks quickly triggered strong reactions on social media, with critics accusing her of making sweeping generalizations about an entire generation and dismissing the concerns of young protesters.
The comments come in the wake of the NEET-related student protests, which concluded after several key demands including the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan were accepted. Ranaut's statements have further fueled the ongoing debate surrounding youth activism, political discourse, and the tone of public conversations on social media.

Yami Gautam reportedly in talks to headline Sujoy Ghosh's 'Kahaani 3'
The acclaimed Kahaani franchise is reportedly set to return with a third installment, with Yami Gautam expected to headline the film under the direction of Sujoy Ghosh.
According to reports, the upcoming thriller will introduce a completely new story within the Kahaani universe rather than continuing the journey of Vidya Balan's iconic character.
Unlike Kahaani (2012) and Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh (2016), both of which starred Vidya Balan, the new installment is said to retain the franchise's signature suspense, mystery, and layered storytelling while centering on an entirely new protagonist.
The project is reportedly in the early stages of pre-production, with filming schedules and other logistics currently being finalized.
As of now, neither the makers nor the cast have officially confirmed the project. Reports suggest that Yami Gautam is in discussions to lead the film, while Sujoy Ghosh is expected to return as director.
More details regarding the cast, storyline, and production schedule are expected in the coming months.

Delhi High Court orders removal of 'Kala Hiran' teaser linked to Salman Khan
The Delhi High Court has directed the makers of Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy to remove the film's teaser and related promotional content from social media after actor Salman Khan sought interim relief, alleging that the material violated his personality rights and unfairly linked him to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
The court observed that the teaser had the potential to harm the actor's reputation and ordered its removal within 24 hours.
During the hearing, Justice Jyoti Singh emphasized the importance of protecting an individual's reputation, observing that "Reputation once lost is lost," and noting that even a brief period of public circulation could cause irreparable harm.
The court also directed the removal of interviews and other promotional material by producer Amit Jani that allegedly connected the film to Salman Khan.
According to Salman Khan's plea, although the actor is not named directly, the teaser allegedly features a lookalike wearing his signature blue bracelet along with visual references that make him easily identifiable.
The petition argues that the film commercially exploits his identity, infringes his personality rights, and could prejudice ongoing legal proceedings related to the blackbuck case.
The filmmakers have stated that they respect the Delhi High Court's order but intend to challenge the decision before the Supreme Court, maintaining that the matter also concerns the constitutional protection of artistic expression.
