FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Wednesday that Iran will “for sure” participate in the 2026 World Cup despite the Middle East war. “Iran is coming for sure. We hope that by then the situation will be a peaceful situation, that would definitely help,” Infantino told an economic conference organized by broadcaster CNBC.
“But Iran has to come, they represent their people, they have qualified, the players want to play,” he said of the team`s upcoming matches scheduled in the United States in June. Infantino had made similar comments in March, when he attended an Iran-Costa Rica friendly in Antalya, Turkey, even though US President Donald Trump had previously suggested that Iranian players might not be “safe” in the United States. Iran is scheduled to play its three Group G matches in the United States — two in Los Angeles, one in Seattle — with their base for the tournament in Tucson, Arizona.
`Outside of politics`
Iran`s participation in the global tournament being co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico had been thrown into doubt by the conflict launched by the United States and Israel on February 28. Iran raised the prospect of a “boycott” of the competition before asking FIFA to move its matches from the United States to Mexico, a request the world governing body rejected. After several weeks of air strikes on Iran and Iranian reprisals against Israel and other countries in the region, a fragile truce came into effect on April 8.
But Tehran has sealed off the strategic Strait of Hormuz and since Monday Washington has imposed a blockade on ships coming from or heading to Iranian ports. “Sports should be outside of politics,” Infantino said on Wednesday. “If there`s nobody else that believes in building bridges and keeping them intact and together, we are doing the job,” he said. The World Cup, the first to feature 48 teams, starts on June 11.

Mahmoud Khader Abed Adra, sought for over four decades, was surrendered by Palestinian authorities
Published On 17 Apr 202617 Apr 2026
A man suspected of organising a deadly attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris has been arrested and placed in custody in France after being handed over by Palestinian authorities.
Mahmoud Khader Abed Adra, also known as Hicham Harb, arrived in France on Thursday after Palestinian officials surrendered him to French authorities, a handover that French President Emmanuel Macron linked directly to France’s recent recognition of Palestinian statehood.

On August 9, 1982, three to five men threw a grenade into Jo Goldenberg, a Jewish-owned restaurant in the Rue des Rosiers, in Paris’s historic Marais district, before opening fire on the street outside.
Six people were killed and 22 wounded in the incident.
The attack was blamed on the Fatah-Revolutionary Council, a Palestinian armed faction that had split from the mainstream Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Adra was arrested in the West Bank by Palestinian security forces in September last year.
French antiterrorism prosecutors filed an extradition request days later, and he was flown to the Villacoublay military airbase outside Paris on Thursday, where he was taken into custody.
His lawyer described the extradition as “a serious violation of Palestinian fundamental law”.
“Forty-four years is too long,” said David Pere, a lawyer representing several families.
Two other suspects are already in French custody, and in February, France’s highest court confirmed that a trial will proceed, a ruling that had been challenged by the defendants.
Macron praised the Palestinian Authority’s cooperation, saying it reflected a commitment by President Mahmoud Abbas to work with France on counterterrorism.
Abbas had told French newspaper Le Figaro late last year that France’s recognition of Palestinian statehood in September 2025 had “created an appropriate framework” for the extradition request.
I’ll admit it upfront, I’m a sucker for the comic gems that Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan have given us over the years. Just a night before Bhooth Bangla’s release, I happened to rewatch their cult Bhagam Bhaag (2006), a reminder of how effortlessly they once nailed comedy. So naturally, seeing them reunite for another horror comedy after Bhool Bhulaiyaa had me excited. What we get, though, is a reunion that feels a little… bittersweet.
Bhooth Bangla review: Akshay Kumar returns to his vintage comedy style with Priyadarshan’s film.
The story of Bhooth Bangla revolves around London-based Arjun (Akshay) and his sister (Mithila). She suddenly inherits a fortune and a palace, courtesy of their grandfather. Arjun travels to Mangalpur, India, to set up the palace for his sister’s upcoming wedding. But the lore goes that nobody in the village gets married, as Vadhusur comes and steals the brides. What happens next forms the rest of the story.
If I had to sum up this film as a mathematical equation, it would be something like: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2+ Shaitaan+ Stree=Bhooth Bangla. Well, the writer here is Aakash Kaushik, also credited for the stories of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3!
What works and what doesn’t
With the story being something we have seen variations of in the past, it really comes down to how much you laugh and how scared you get. The first half of Bhooth Bangla is as nostalgic as it gets. All the familiar Priyadarshan shots are here. In fact, the locations are pretty much the same as Bhool Bhulaiyaa, including the Chomu Palace. Divakar Mani’s cinematography captures the rustic locations beautifully. Add to that the top-notch VFX, which I am happy to report serves the film really well.
It’s a pity that apart from the strengths, the shortcomings are present in equal measures here. Priyadarshan gets so carried away with the enormous world he creates that many characters keep disappearing in between, only to resurface somehow later. Plus, he doesn’t realise where to begin wrapping up the film.
The second half is heavy on the story and gets engrossing, only for the above shortcomings to hamper the experience. A bit of editing and trimming the runtime by say, 10 minutes would have made it more impactful.
The music by Pritam is average, with the best of the lot- Ram Ji Aake Bhala Karenge- saved for the end credits. But the background score by Ronnie Raphael definitely packs a punch.
Do the performances pack a punch?
Performance-wise, the one thing you can’t take away from Akshay Kumar is his sincerity and the natural knack for comedy, and in Bhooth Bangla, he gives it his all. From a Kesari 2, to Jolly LLB 3, to now a horror comedy, the sheer range he has shown in the past year alone is impressive. He delivers this time, too.
Asrani, in his last big-screen appearance, gets a meaty role. The veteran pulls it off with such aplomb that one almost gets emotional. Rajpal Yadav, a staple in all Priyadarshan films, is a master of physical comedy. He will surely evoke a lot of laughs in Bhooth Bangla.
Wamiqa Gabbi has a pleasant screen presence, but doesn’t have much to do. The same goes for Tabu, who looks mostly clueless. Jisshu Sengupta, as Akshay’s father, does his job well.
Overall, Bhooth Bangla may not be Priyadarshan at his peak, but it’s still very much in his playground. A film that has its fair share of boos and chuckles, it leans on nostalgia. Powered by Akshay Kumar’s reliable comic timing and a world that’s as chaotic as it is colourful, this one doesn’t quite become a classic, but it keeps the fun going while it lasts.
Bollywood icon and Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta was all smiles after her side continued their dominant run in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 with a convincing win over Mumbai Indians on April 16. Even though she was not present at the Wankhede, Zinta made sure to celebrate the victory in style on social media.
Zinta took to X shortly after the match, sharing her excitement and praising the team’s performance, especially highlighting the contributions of key players.
“Yes Yes Yessss !!!! Congratulations @PunjabKingsIPL for this win… So much maturity from @prabhsimran01 & wow @arshdeepsinghh Happy to see you shine,” she wrote.
“Amazing team work under the capable leadership of Sadda Sarpanch @ShreyasIyer15 & @RickyPonting ?? That was an awesome catch Shreyas ! Best I’ve ever seen… I’m grinning ear to ear,” she added.
Punjab Kings are now the only unbeaten side in IPL 2026, with the win over Mumbai stretching the streak to five straight games. The result has taken them to the top of the points table with 9 points from a possible 10, continuing the momentum they built last season under Shreyas Iyer. After falling just short in the IPL 2025 final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, PBKS have resumed their title push this season with the same consistency and intent.
HOW PBKS THRASHED MI AT WANKHEDE
Punjab Kings delivered a clinical chase to outplay Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.
After MI posted 195, riding on a brilliant century from Quinton de Kock and a supporting knock from Naman Dhir, PBKS responded with authority.
Prabhsimran Singh led the charge with an unbeaten 80 off 39 balls, while captain Shreyas Iyer scored a fluent 66 off 35. The duo stitched together a 139-run partnership that took the game away from MI.
Earlier, Arshdeep Singh’s three-wicket haul helped keep Mumbai in check, ensuring the target remained within reach.
PBKS eventually chased down 196 in just 16.3 overs, sealing a seven-wicket win and extending their impressive run in the tournament.
‘Bhooth Bangla’, the all new horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan and starring Akshay Kumar in the lead, has begun its box office run on a promising note. Early box office reports indicate that the film is set to register a good start at the ticket windows this weekend, after scoring solid numbers from its paid preview shows ahead of its official release.‘Bhoot Bangla’ paid preview collectionsAccording to early estimates on sacnilk, the film reportedly collected an estimated Rs 3.50 to Rs 3.75 crore net from screenings across India. As per the report, these numbers have seemingly exceeded initial expectations, which had projected its earning to range between Rs 2.50 to Rs 3 crore.‘Bhoot Bangla’ eyeing Rs 15 crore openingAlthough a marginal difference from the early predictions, the collections are being attributed to positive early buzz and reactions from critics, ahead of the film’s release on Friday, April 17. Trade analysts note that such numbers are particularly good for a non-holiday release, especially in the horror-comedy genre. The film also recorded a healthy response in key urban areas, with good spot bookings, besides advance bookings and blocked seats.Based on current trends, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ is now expected to score an opening day collection exceeding Rs 15 crore net. Prior to its preview shows, the film was expected to match the collections of Akshay’s ‘Jolly LLB 3’, estimated at around Rs 12.50 crore. ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ box office collectionThis strong opening comes around four weeks after the relaese of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’. The sequel to ‘Dhurandhar’ has an undisputed 4-week run at the domestic box office, helping it earn an estimated Rs 1,100 crore net and score a worldwide gross total of 1,7380 crore. The film that is currently in its fifth week at theatres has shown a decline in collections, thus making way for newer film releases. Trade experts are already predicting that the film’s opening day numbers could climb further depending on spot bookings and good word of mouth this weekend. ‘Bhoot Bangla’ castThe horror-comedy also features Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar and Rajesh Sharma in leading roles.

If there is one cricketer who feels like completely different people on and off the pitch, it’s Arshdeep Singh. The Punjab Kings fast bowler is the fieriest competitor when in his jersey, stone-faced and remorseless as he nails yorkers and variations, but a total jokester off it – seen in the plethora of Instagram reels and Snapchat content he enjoys posting, always with the biggest smile.

After reaching the 100-wicket mark in the IPL with 3/22 against MI at the Wankhede Stadium, there isn’t one without the other. Just as much as having access to top-tier coaching ensures he can tune his bowling in the most competitive environments in the world, it is important for Arshdeep to receive the support from fans across the country, who connect with him via his presence online.
“I love the support and a lot of credit goes to my social media,” said Arshdeep in the post-match presentation on Thursday night, reflecting on the support he gets from crowds throughout the country. “I love making reels and I love posting on social media. So a lot of them know me [for] reels. I love it and I’ll keep doing that for them. You’ll see a lot of reels coming.”
Arshdeep has made it a tradition to whip out his camera and gather his teammates to shoot quick videos after trophy victories, going back to the 2024 T20 World Cup – many of his generation and savvy in the ways of internet trends, and others of a slightly older vintage who need some more coercion.
Ricky Ponting’s pep talk takes Arshdeep back to his best
It speaks to Arshdeep’s chemistry with his team that he felt the ease to go to coach Ricky Ponting and tinker with his bowling, after starting the IPL in an errant fashion with many extras as he tinkered with something new. He credited the Australian legend for helping him find what works again.
“It feels good and it goes back to having a chat with Ricky after one of the training sessions. I told him I wasn’t feeling the way I should feel, the ball is not coming out of my hand really well and [I] had a nice pep talk with him,” explained Arshdeep. “How I can keep myself fresh mentally and how I was just expecting too much out of myself and not letting things to be simple and just going by the flow.”
Arshdeep started his night with regulation away swing to Ryan Rickelton, conceding only one run as he kept things simple and effective. He was rewarded with the South African’s wicket the next over, albeit with one of his looser balls, but followed that up the very next delivery by finding Suryakumar Yadav’s outside edge by angling it across.
Shedding post-WC expectations the key
“I told him the ball didn’t feel right when it left the hand. The chat was nothing technical, but he told me I was expecting too much from myself, coming off from a high of the World Cup win, and said you can’t maintain that all the time,” Arshdeep explained, pointing out that finding that rhythm for early wickets was as much a mental battle as a technical one. And who would know more about winning World Cups than Ricky Ponting?
Arshdeep would return in the death for his most impressive over – while he has been guilty of hunting for wide-line yorkers too much, he went back to his read and butter and speared several in a row at Sherfane Rutherford’s toes, finally making him his third victim with a searing yorker.
“Even yesterday I came for training and I had a nice spot-bowling session and that was the time when I felt like the ball is coming out really nicely out of my hand,” Arshdeep said of his prep. “And the result was in front of you guys today, the ball was seaming a bit, the ball was swinging, and the control was there.”
With the Indian seamer in this form, Punjab are a difficult prospect to beat – and Arshdeep at his best brings the best of both worlds.
For me, there is nothing better than a lukewarm bath after a stressful and busy day. In fact, I believe that the invigorating bathing experience not only cleanses the dirt and pollution, but also calms me down and relieves me of my everyday stress.So, for me, whatever I apply on my skin has to be just right and comfortable (given the fact that my sensitive skin can’t handle things that are too harsh). And when it comes to choosing a body scrub, I’m a little more cautious because anything harsh often makes my skin red and dry.

Matka King’s trailer teased a story fronted by Vijay Varma, Sai Tamhankar, Kritika Kamra, and Gulshan Grover. But as director Nagraj Manjule’s maiden web series drops on Prime Video today, we’ll see another actor in the cast. Towards the end of the series, Viineet Kumar Siingh is seeded as a character, who goes on to become important in the already planned second season.

Insiders revealed that Manjule deliberately kept Siingh away from the promotions to maintain intrigue. “His character comes towards the end, but it’s meant to shift the narrative. The actor shot his portions mid-2025. His character leaves things at a point where you know he will matter a lot, going forward,” said an insider. Set in Mumbai of the 1960s, Matka King revolves around a small-time cotton trader who starts a gambling racket.
