Nagarjuna Is ‘Grateful’ To Delhi High Court For Protecting His Personality Rights

A New Trend in the Indian Film Industry: Actors Legally Protecting Their Personality Rights

A noteworthy trend is emerging in the Indian film industry, as actors increasingly take legal steps to protect their personality rights. Following the footsteps of prominent figures like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Karan Johar, Telugu superstar Nagarjuna recently approached the Delhi High Court to safeguard his personality rights.

On Thursday, Nagarjuna expressed his gratitude to the court via X (formerly Twitter), writing,
“Grateful to the Hon’ble Delhi High Court for protecting my personality rights in today’s digital age. The vital legal strategy and arguments were led by Senior Counsel Mr. Vaibhav Gaggar, and Mr. Pravin Anand along with Ms. Vaishali, Mr. Somdev, and Mr. Vibhav. Thank you for standing by me.” (sic)

Interestingly, Nagarjuna is the first actor to openly speak about this legal move on social media.

Why Did Nagarjuna Approach the Court?

According to reports from Bar and Bench, the Telugu star sought the court’s protection because his personality rights were being violated through unauthorized use of his pictures. These infringements included misuse in content uploaded on social media platforms as well as on merchandise.

Wider Industry Movement

Apart from Nagarjuna, other notable celebrities such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Karan Johar, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Amitabh Bachchan, and others have also taken measures to protect their personality rights. This growing trend signals a heightened awareness and assertiveness among actors in defending their personal brand and image legally.

Nagarjuna’s Upcoming Projects

On the work front, Nagarjuna appeared in two films this year: *Kuberaa* and *Coolie*. While *Kuberaa* struggled to generate significant buzz, *Coolie* performed reasonably well at the box office.

Looking ahead, the actor has a major milestone project titled *King 100* lined up, which is set to be his 100th movie. Directed by Ra Karthik, the film is reportedly scheduled for release in 2026.

Will more actors join this movement? Only time will tell, but with stars like Nagarjuna leading by example, legal protection of personality rights is becoming an important aspect of the Indian film industry’s evolving landscape.

Snake Swims Through Kolkata Floodwaters With Fish In Its Mouth; Video Goes Viral

**Viral Video of Snake Swimming Through Floodwaters with Fish in Kolkata Amid Heavy Rains**

A fascinating video from Kolkata, West Bengal, is making rounds on social media, capturing the attention of many netizens. The clip shows a snake swimming through floodwaters in a backyard, firmly gripping a fish in its mouth.

The snake appears to be a Checkered Keelback, locally known as *Jol Dhora* in West Bengal. This non-venomous water snake is commonly found in freshwater habitats and is harmless to humans.

The video was originally shared on Instagram by user Atreyee Mitra, accompanied by the caption: “Kolkata and its little perks, right before Durga Pujo.” Since then, it has garnered widespread reactions and engagement online.

### Netizens React

Social media users responded to the video with humorous and relatable comments, such as:
– “Kisi ki toh ex jaa rhi hai.”
– “Snake is also bengalified.”
– “Bro proved that he is bangali…”
– “Even snakes also like fish…. specialty of Kolkata.”

The video has received over 362,000 likes on Instagram and continues to attract viewers.

### Context: Heavy Flooding in Kolkata

The viral video comes amid severe flooding in the City of Joy, caused by incessant rainfall in recent days. On Tuesday, September 23, a heavy downpour resulted in the deaths of at least 11 people and widespread disruption across the city and nearby areas.

A cloudburst triggered severe waterlogging, affecting traffic and daily activities. On Wednesday, heavy rains particularly impacted Northern Park and Bhawanipur, leading to significant waterlogging even around Durga Puja pandals.

According to news agency PTI, the city recorded 251.4 mm of rainfall in less than 24 hours—the highest since 1986 and the sixth-highest single-day rainfall in 137 years.

As Kolkata copes with the ongoing flood situation, this intriguing video of the local wildlife navigating the waters has become a unique symbol of resilience and local flavor ahead of the festive season.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian review: Course correction

Atelier, Gust’s long-running item synthesis RPG series, reached new heights with the debut of *Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout* in 2019. Gust used that momentum to sincerely attempt to reinvent what Atelier is in both systems and scale, leading to the massive and successful *Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land*.

At the same time, the series couldn’t escape a certain albatross hovering above Japanese RPGs. We saw *Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy & the Liberator of Polar Night* hit mobile and PC as a free-to-play game featuring a gacha system. The history here is as important as it is fun to recount — *Polar Night* hardly made it a year in the global market before being shut down.

The years 2024 and 2025 have been brutal for mobile spin-offs of RPG giants, with even Square Enix shutting down games left and right, some of which had been around for five or more years. In this harsh landscape, Atelier really had no chance.

Gust seems to have responded to this situation with today’s review subject: *Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian*.

—

### Part Two: Atelier Boogaloo

Set in the same world as *Polar Night*, this game is a more traditional Atelier adventure. It features turn-based combat, characters who join the journey as part of the story, and — notably — no online restrictions or currency-adjacent gameplay limitations.

While it’s impossible to know if this was intended as a mobile game or some kind of expansion to *Polar Night*, it feels more like a course correction or pivot than an entirely new entity. Unfortunately, it’s held back by systems that feel like a mobile game being fed into a proverbial wood chipper.

You can choose between two playable characters: Rias, a scrappy girl who sifts through ruins searching for treasure (while avoiding her overprotective sister who works for the local government body), and Slade, a more serious young man who inherits a mysterious relic and an empty book linked to lost civilizations.

The two meet early on, and their goals quickly intertwine, especially as Rias discovers she can utilize the lost art of alchemy. These characters have a lot of personality and chemistry, which initially makes the game seem promising.

Rias is a particularly fun twist on the typical Atelier protagonist, beginning her story by running away from a giant, rolling “Puni” (think of it as a slime from *Dragon Quest*, but obnoxiously cuter) in a ruin — a goofy homage to *Indiana Jones*. Slade, playing the straight man to Rias’s antics, balances the duo well.

I was genuinely having a good time watching these characters bounce off each other, but soon the game’s shortcomings became apparent. It caught me off guard with how sloppy it feels overall.

—

### Slapdash Adventure

After the rising quality of the *Secret* series and the go-for-broke energy of *Yumia*, *Resleriana 2* (for lack of a better shorthand) feels slapped together in almost every way. From its low-budget aesthetic to grind-heavy, menu-laden systems that scream mobile game design, it’s hard to ignore the stark difference.

Gameplay involves running a shop staffed by identical, color-swapped fairies, alongside simple dungeons that require little thought to clear. There’s an endless supply of these fairies to throw money at and recruit for your store.

Everything you need is accessed through a small, localized hub. The story is told at a snail’s pace with shallow bonding scenes peppered throughout. Alchemy feels constrained and de-streamlined compared to other recent Atelier games, seemingly designed to encourage grinding and resource management rather than creative experimentation.

During Ryza’s rise and Atelier’s growth arc, Gust released other titles too. These included a surprise sequel to an earlier Atelier game (*Sophie 2*) and a sequel to Koei Tecmo’s *Fairy Tail* adaptation. While I had some issues with the latter (*Sophie 2* remains superior), both projects retained the oomph, polish, and strong identity characteristic of Gust’s bigger releases.

So this doesn’t feel like some reined-in spin-off, or at least it’s not explainable as such. Instead, it feels like a massive step backward — one that would be extremely confusing if not for what you find when you plug *Atelier Resleriana* into a search engine.

—

### Combat That Shines

One bright spot in *Resleriana 2* is its combat. The game returns to a traditional turn-based system from the more active combat styles of recent Atelier titles but adds some engaging twists.

Combat emphasizes teamwork with follow-up attacks and features a replenishing Ability Point system. This means fights are more about maintaining flow rather than worrying about dwindling resources. Battles move at a fast pace and reward paying attention to turn order and enemy weaknesses.

It’s also a relief to command characters as a party after several years of real-time systems focusing on individual control. This refreshing combat design helps salvage some enjoyment from an otherwise underwhelming package.

—

### Looks Like a Duck, Quacks Like a Duck… But Not a Duck?

Even though this game has its merits — after all, it’s still an Atelier game with the core loop that makes the series fun — *The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian* is almost immediately compromised narratively by its ties to the previous *Polar Night* game.

Not only do characters from previous Atelier titles appear as dimension-traveling Wanderers (a clear tell of mobile game design influence; sorry, *Octopath Traveler* fans, but it’s true), characters from the first *Resleriana* and allusions to its story are presented as a big deal.

Unless you played that prior game before its shutdown in March 2025, it’s impossible to understand that context without consulting YouTube or other external sources. That’s a major problem.

—

### Final Thoughts

I’ve come to really appreciate the Atelier series over the years, despite initially avoiding it (time limits stress me out, to be honest). I’ve imported physical trilogy cartridges for the Nintendo Switch and even pre-ordered the special edition of *Ryza 2* back when I had the means.

I share this to emphasize how much of a step backward this installation feels in the series’ evolutionary trajectory.

*Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian* looks and feels cheap (I hate to go there, but it’s unavoidable). It’s full of what feels like kitbashed, clumsily molded structural systems shoehorned into a single-player game that suffers deeply from its connection to a failed gacha title.

It bums me out to say it, but that’s the vibe.

—

### Availability

*Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian* is available on September 26, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. A PS5 review code was provided by the publisher for this review.

Pimpri-Chinchwad Crime: Lawyer Defrauded Of ₹1.80 Crore By Cyber Impersonators Posing As CBI Officers

**Senior Citizen Lawyer Duped of ₹1.80 Crore by Fraudsters Posing as CBI Officers in Pimpri-Chinchwad**

In a disturbing case of online fraud, a senior citizen lawyer from Pimpri-Chinchwad was cheated out of ₹1.80 crore by imposters pretending to be officers from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The incident, which took place in Udyam Nagar, Pimpri, was reported to the Cyber Police Station on Wednesday.

Ganpat Balaji Kakade, a 73-year-old resident of Udyam Nagar, fell victim to the scam between September 4 and September 19. The fraudsters reportedly used Kakade’s Aadhaar card details and falsely claimed that money laundering activities were being conducted using his name. They threatened him with arrest in a fabricated money laundering case to intimidate him.

Fearing legal repercussions, the lawyer transferred a total of ₹1,80,37,000 to various bank accounts controlled by the suspects. The accused included individuals holding three different mobile numbers and four separate bank accounts.

According to police sources, the fraudsters not only threatened Ganpat Kakade but also warned him that his wife would be arrested if he failed to comply. They further cautioned the couple against discussing the matter with anyone, threatening that those people could be arrested as well. To gain the lawyer’s trust, the scammers went to the extent of sending fake PDF documents bearing the names of senior police officers.

A police official stated, “The suspects forced the lawyer to transfer funds into different bank accounts, assuring him that the money would be returned once a verification process was completed. However, the lawyer never received any refund.” Upon realizing that he had been duped, Kakade lodged a complaint with the authorities, and a formal investigation is currently underway.

This incident serves as a reminder to remain vigilant against such sophisticated scams and verify the authenticity of calls or messages claiming official authority.

How Much Could $500 Invested in Ozak AI Today Be Worth by 2026? A Detailed Breakdown of Potential Returns and Growth Scenarios

Crypto buyers are usually in search of projects capable of transforming small allocations into life-changing sums. In 2025, one name is set to rise above the noise: **Ozak AI**.

Currently in Stage 6 of its presale at a price of $0.012 per token, Ozak AI has already raised more than $3.4 million and sold over 915 million tokens. With its ambitious roadmap that merges artificial intelligence with blockchain, investors are asking a simple but critical question:

**If I invest $500 into Ozak AI today, how much could it realistically be worth by 2026?**

—

### Ozak AI’s $500 Entry Point

At its current presale price of $0.012, a $500 investment secures approximately **41,666 OZ tokens**. This relatively modest allocation offers investors a sizable stake in the project while limiting risk compared to blue-chip assets like Ethereum or Bitcoin, which already require high entry prices.

What makes Ozak AI especially appealing is its **asymmetric upside**—the potential for exponential returns without needing a massive upfront capital commitment.

—

### Growth Scenario 1: Conservative Gains

Let’s assume Ozak AI launches successfully and gains steady adoption but doesn’t hit the high price targets some analysts predict. If OZ tokens rise to **$0.10 by 2026**, a level reflecting the early growth trajectories of other strong altcoins, your $500 stake would grow to **$4,166**.

That’s more than an 8x return in just a few years—much stronger than what most traditional investments typically offer.

—

### Growth Scenario 2: Moderate Expansion

In a more optimistic yet reasonable scenario, Ozak AI could trade at **$0.50 by 2026**, especially if its partnerships and adoption within the AI-blockchain ecosystem continue to gain momentum.

At that price, your $500 investment would be worth **$20,833**—a 40x return, placing Ozak AI among tokens delivering exponential profits to early believers.

—

### Growth Scenario 3: The Bold 100x Projection

Some analysts are even more bullish, projecting that Ozak AI could reach **$1.20 by 2026** if it successfully executes its vision and achieves widespread traction.

At this valuation, the 41,666 tokens acquired with a $500 investment now would be worth **$50,000**—the kind of life-changing multiple early investors in Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon once experienced.

This is why Ozak AI is attracting both retail buyers and whales during its presale.

—

### Why These Projections Are Plausible

Skeptics may argue that 100x forecasts are overly ambitious, but Ozak AI has several factors working in its favor:

– **Innovative Mission:** Ozak AI aims to compress information latency and deliver real-time predictive signals, positioning itself at the intersection of two powerful tech narratives—artificial intelligence and blockchain.

– **Strong Partnerships:** It has already secured collaborations with credible names such as:
– Perceptron Network (@PerceptronNTWK), boasting over 700,000 active nodes,
– SINT, known for autonomous AI agents and voice-driven interfaces,

### Ozak AI’s Risk Factors

Of course, like all presale tokens, Ozak AI carries risks:

– Execution challenges,
– Market volatility,
– Competition within the AI and blockchain sectors.

However, the low entry price combined with high upside potential makes it attractive even for risk-conscious investors. The worst-case scenario limits losses to the initial presale investment, while the best-case offers life-changing rewards.

Punjab: Amritsar Police arrests six, recovers 4.03 kg heroin and two pistols

Acting on intelligence inputs, the Amritsar Commissionerate Police on Thursday arrested six operatives involved in cross-border heroin and weapons supply. During the operation, authorities recovered 4.03 kg of heroin and two pistols, effectively dismantling a major narcotics and arms network, according to the Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Police.

In a social media post on X, the DGP revealed that preliminary investigations showed the arrested individuals were in contact with a Pakistan-based handler through social media platforms. They were receiving consignments of heroin and weapons in the Khemkaran and Ferozpur sectors. These consignments were being pushed by Pakistani smugglers using drones for supply in the Amritsar area.

The official post stated:
“In an intelligence-led operation, Amritsar Commissionerate Police dismantled a major narcotics and arms network. Six operatives involved in cross-border heroin and weapons supply were apprehended, and 4.03 kg heroin along with two pistols (one Glock 9mm and one .30 bore pistol) were recovered.

Preliminary investigation revealed the arrested accused were in contact with Pakistan-based handler Shah through social media platforms. They were receiving heroin and weapons consignments in Khemkaran and Ferozepur sectors, being pushed in by Pakistan smugglers through drones for supply in the Amritsar area.”

A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at the Gate Islamabad Police Station, and further investigations are underway to expose the entire nexus, including both backward and forward linkages of the network.

The DGP emphasized:
“Punjab Police reiterates its commitment to dismantling narco-terror and organised crime networks to safeguard Punjab.”

In a related development the day before, the Punjab Police, acting on a backward linkage, busted a significant hawala network and recovered ₹2.05 crore. This operation was spearheaded by the Kapurthala Police, who arrested an associate involved in funding operations linked to a Ludhiana-based hawala operator.

DGP Punjab Police, Gaurav Yadav, commented:
“Acting swiftly on backward linkages, Kapurthala Police busted a major hawala network, recovering ₹2.05 crore of hawala money. Our police team identified a Ludhiana-based hawala operator and arrested an associate involved in funding operations through hawala.”

He also highlighted ongoing efforts in combating cybercrime, stating:
“Last week, Kapurthala Police unearthed a large-scale online cyber-fraud scam in Phagwara. A case was registered at PS Cyber Crime, Kapurthala, leading to the arrest of 38 accused, along with the seizure of 40 laptops, 67 mobile phones, and ₹10 lakh of suspected hawala money linked to the scam.”

DGP Yadav added:
“Further investigation is underway to expose and neutralise the entire nexus. Punjab Police remains resolute in dismantling organised financial crime networks, curbing cyber fraud, and safeguarding citizens’ hard-earned money.”
