While the furore over Padmaavat has scarcely died down, another period drama about another iconic Indian queen, has now come under fire. Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, based on Lakshmi Bai, the 19th Century queen and freedom fighter, stars Kangana Ranaut as the real-life queen and a Brahmin outfit Sarva Brahman Mahasabha demanded the makers to share complete details of the film's story to rule out any tampering with facts. While the film is expected to release during the end of the year, the group has taken offence at reports that Ranaut's character will be shown romantically involved with a British officer, and the Mahasabha's leaders have promised to disrupt the film's shooting in Rajasthan if the "offensive portions" are not removed. The makers of the film, however, have issued a statement clarifying that there's nothing objectionable in the film.TECHBiggest Ever Technology Acquisition Underway
Broadcom Ltd made a $121 billion "best and final offer" on Monday to acquire Qualcomm Inc, increasing the pressure on the U.S. semiconductor firm to engage in talks. If the deal is done, it would be the biggest ever technology acquisition till date.
