   My heart goes out to Bhansali: Hansal Mehta on 'Padmavati' row


With the "Padmavati" row growing murkier day by day, filmmaker Hansal Mehta has come out in support of his contemporary Sanjay Leela Bhansali, saying he is pained at how the film is embroiled in a controversy even before its release.

 Bhansali has been facing the ire of various Rajput groups and political leaders, who have accused the director of "distorting historical facts" in his starring Deepika Padukone in the title role. It is slated to be released on December 1.

Mehta, who has courted controversies himself with critically-acclaimed films such as "Shahid" and "Aligarh", said he sympathises with Bhansali and can understand what he must be going through right now.

When asked that the decision of the makers to organise a special screening for the disgruntled groups was surrendering to such elements, the director told PTI, "There is a lot of pressure and a lot of investment riding on you as a director.

 The director would want his film's release to be as smooth as possible.

"I feel sorry for him. My heart goes out to him. My heart also bleeds as I know all these superb torchbearers of culture are actually the most ignorant people on earth."


Mehta is in the capital to promote his web-series "Bose: Dead/Alive" as its creative producer, featuring Rajkummar Rao in the title role, along with Patralekhaa.

OnePlus to improve OnePlus 5T's camera with a software update in Dec: Carl Pei

OnePlus 5T will get camera improvements in the upcoming month. That's what the company co-founder Carl Pei promises. OnePlus 5T is a great phone, but like every good stuff, OnePlus 5T has some cons too. 5T is a much enhanced and improved version of the predecessor OnePlus 5, but then, one area that the device falls a bit is in its low-light photography department. And keeping the bad stuff in mind -- Carl Pei on Friday took to the OnePlus forum to post that OnePlus 5T is going to get a major software update in Dec, and that will give a massive boost to the phone's camera setup, especially in its low light photography. It seems, OnePlus -- going by its tagline "Never settle" doesn't probably wants to rest for now. OnePlus 5T has been off to a blazing start, not just in India but all over the world. The company managed to sell out all the units within just 5 minutes, at least that's what the company claims. The OnePlus 5T's next sale is set for Nov 28. Wit...

Google on Thursday announced to rename its year old Android Wear brand to Wear OS. To simplify, Android Wear will henceforth be called Wear OS by Google. The new brand name for say makes a little more sense than Android Wear because alongside Android users, there are also some handful iPhone users who users Android watches. Looks like the new branding Wear OS will eventually show up on some of the watches and mobile applications in the forthcoming weeks. "So as the watch industry gears up for another Baselworld next week, we're announcing a new name that better reflects our technology, vision, and most important of all-the people who wear our watches. We're now Wear OS by Google, a wearables operating system for everyone," notes Google. To recall, the Android Wear brand was initially introduced just a year ago, in 2014. The change in name of the brand is mainly because, these wearable devices are not just by Android users but by iPhone users as well. Hence, naming...
