A day earlier, Khan announced that he would share the “next critical phase” of his party’s “Haqiqi Azadi movement” during his Gujranwala rally on Saturday.
Filmmaker Barry Jenkins has officially announce Mufasa: The Lion King, a new prequel to the 2019 film Lion King.
Originally announced in 2020 as a sequel to the 2019 film, Mufasa tells the origin story of the iconic Disney father, exploring his childhood growing up with his brother Scar. The film will feature the voice of Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as younger versions of the characters, filling in for James Earl Jones as Mufasa in both the 1994 original and the 2019 CGI remake, and Jeremy Irons and Chiwetel Ejiofor as the villainous Scar.
In addition to announcing the title, exclusive preview footage of the film was shown to the audience of the D23 expo. The footage began with Rafiki (John Kani) telling the story of Mufasa to young cubs, revealing that the lion was actually an orphaned cub who had to navigate the world alone until he rose to become the king of Pride Rock. As such, the film goes beyond the iconic Pride Lands to show him as a cub in a desert, where he is swept away by a flood and becomes an orphan.
“In this place a lion was born without a drop of nobility in his blood,” Rafiki narrates. “The lion who would change our lives forever.”
Although brief, the footage also included narration from Billy Eichner’s Timon, in a meta joke tag for the footage: “Wait wait wait, am I not in this story? I don’t feel seen.”
“The Lion King” is one of the most beloved Disney properties of all time, with the original remaining a critically acclaimed classic and grossing over $960 million worldwide. The 2019 remake, which replaced the 2D artstyle of the original with realistic CGI animal renderings, received mixed reviews from critics but was even more successful, grossing over $1 billion at the global box office.
Mufasa will be Jenkins third feature film, after directing the Oscar-winning Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk . The release date for the film has not yet been announced.

“It is not a matter of generosity, but a matter of justice,” he said reiterating the United Nation’s commitment, strong support, and solidarity with the flood-affected populace of Pakistan.
Guterres said that huge damages and losses were caused to human lives and properties. The Secretary General further said that the UN absolutely supported Pakistan and requested richer nations to generously help the country so that it could face the future challenges of climatic changes and save its people.
He stressed that the international community must realize the serious impacts of greenhouse emissions as nature was striking back in the form of natural calamities.
He continued that greenhouse gases had accelerated climatic changes and that nations with larger greenhouse emission footprints must understand these issues. Citing scientific estimates, the UN secretary-general emphasized that now was the right time to reduce greenhouse emissions.
He said it was also a fact that they were living in a climatic changing era and have to make efforts to rebuild communities and to enable countries to resist and face future disasters that could be wrought by the natural calamities.

Superstar Humayun Saeed has spilled some beans on his fitness and young skin in a recent interview with ‘FWhy Podcast’. The Dillagi star shared the trick to his youthful and wrinkle-free skin.
He said, “I was working with an actress in London (The Crown) and there she asked me that what do you do with your face as you have a wrinkle free skin as she was younger than me and she had wrinkles on her face. According to me, because I eat a lot and don’t prefer dieting a lot maybe this is one of the reason behind a fresh face that I take a proper diet.”
The Bin Roye hero added, “I do jogging, but I prefer cardio over weight lifting which surely improves my health. I’m not in favor of heavy weight lifting at all.”
“When we were at a phase where I had to make tough decisions, I started crying, thinking about what will happen if she ends up marrying someone else,” he said. “My parents were also not in favour, they thought it was not the right age for me but we stood our ground. And it proved to be the right decision.” “The strong woman that she is, she guided me through life and work,” Saeed gushed about the partner.
Later in the discussion, the actor recalled Samina initially being insecure about his work and on-screen romance with female actors, adding that she later befriended most of them and got along well.
“She realised they were all nice people. All of her worries went away. She’d bring food to the sets and talk to everyone,” he joked. Moreover, Saeed addressed an old conjecture of being involved with another girl while having Samina in his life. He clarified, “There wasn’t another girl in a way that I didn’t officially go on dates with her or something.”
He added, “We met once or twice at a wedding or something and we’d talk on calls. I had contacted her to meet and I wanted to tell her about Samina only but Samina found out and gave me an ultimatum. That was it.”
For those unversed, Saeed married producer Samina in 1995, and the two are one of the top power couples in the industry.
During the conversation, Saeed also revealed that he had no plans for marriage until he met Samina and decided to take the plunge, despite the apprehensions from his family and friends.
On the work front, Humayun recently delivered a blockbuster film London Nahi Jaunga co-starring Mehwish Hayat and Kubra Khan.
American supermodel Bella Hadid has revealed that she wept “every day” and was stricken with eating disorders and chronic anxiety as a teen before she shot to fame as a model.
In an interview with i-D magazine, the 25-year-old opened up about her youth as she said that she was smoking heavily from the age of 14 and suffered body dysmorphia after she found success, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“Growing up, I thought it was normal that I had this chronic anxiety and this disassociation, crying every day and not knowing who I was,” Bella Hadid recalled.
“Whether it was eating disorders or smoking a pack of Marlboros since the age of 14, I’m like, ‘Oh, this is what all of the kids are doing’. I realised that maybe that was me trying to figure out why I felt that way. And in reality, all I needed was therapy.”
Hadid went on to talk about struggling with body dysmorphia in her early days as a model. “During that part of my life, I was so out of body, disassociating so much… I was so confused by what people saw of me,” the younger sister of model Gigi Hadid added.
Bella Hadid is now getting ready to make her acting debut in series ‘Ramy’, which tells of a first-generation American-Muslim is torn between his family’s traditional and modern American culture.
Bella Hadid said about revelling in her Palestinian heritage during the shooting.
“To go onto a set and see multiple Palestinians, Arabs, and people that are cut from the same cloth as me was really, really beautiful.”
She added about her belief speaking out for Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict with Israel previously costing her work. “A few companies won’t work with me anymore, and a few people may think I’m crazy. But that doesn’t bother me and it doesn’t compare to what Palestinians suffer on a daily basis.”
Earlier this year she admitted to regretting her decision to get a nose job at the age of 14. The beauty standards in the modelling industry have always been controversial for promoting unrealistic body types. Hadid, who has opened up about her anxiety and depression previously, speaks about her cosmetic surgery, and how she felt while being compared to her older sister Gigi Hadid.
Both Bella and Gigi have become big names in the fashion industry. The sisters have modelled for many big luxury brands like Chanel, Givenchy, Versace, Dior, Gucci, Saint Laurent, and more. They have also been on several magazine covers.
As exciting it may seem, being a fashion model comes with its own cons, and Bella Hadid has certainly faced them. During an interview with Vogue, Bella detailed her struggles with body image and mental health. She further admitted feeling “ugly” and “uncool” in comparison to Gigi Hadid. “People think I fully f*cked with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy,” she said.
“I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it,” Bella added. She then went on to talk about being compared to Gigi Hadid. “I was the uglier sister. I was the brunette. I wasn’t as cool as Gigi, not as outgoing,” she said. “When you get told things so many times, you do just believe it. I always ask myself, how did a girl with incredible insecurities, anxiety, depression, body-image issues, eating issues, who hates to be touched, who has intense social anxiety – what was I doing getting into this business?” Bella continued.
While the fashion industry can be harsh, so can be the fans and netizens who reacted to Bella admitting to getting a nose job. People on Twitter are now criticising Hadid’s mother, Yolanda, for allowing the model to get nose surgery at such a young age.
In 2021, Scientists ‘measured’ that Bella is the most beautiful woman in the world. The 24-year-old was found to be 94.35 percent ‘accurate’ to the Golden Ratio of Beauty.
The list was compiled back in 2019 using computerized mapping techniques by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva, who utilises the technology in his work.
Bella’s eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the Greeks’ idea of perfection.
Singer Beyoncé, 39, was second, coming in with a 92.44 percent match-up to those standards, while actress Amber Heard, 33, was third with 91.85 percent and pop star Ariana Grande, 26, was fourth with 91.81 percent.
De Silva said Bella Hadid holds the crown for the most beautiful woman in the world.

Devastating floods in Pakistan have wreaked havoc across the country, leaving a path of destruction and loss in their wake. More than 1,400 people have lost their lives, one-third of whom are children.
Record monsoon rains and melting glaciers triggered the disaster. The United Nations (UN) and Pakistan have linked the extreme weather to climate change; some 600,000 people have fled their homes.
As many as 33 million people of the 220 million South Asian nation have been affected in some way by the floods that swept away houses, roads, railways and bridges and submerged around 4 million acres of farmland.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is currently in Pakistan and all set to visit flood-affected areas of the country today (Saturday).
On Friday, Guterres said that Pakistan is one of the countries most affected by climate change despite its minimal contribution to the phenomenon.
During a briefing at the National Flood Response Coordination Centre (NFRCC), the UN chief said, “Pakistan has had little contribution to climate change but it is one of the most dramatically impacted by the consequences of climate change.”
Earlier this week, PM Shehbaz said that the financial impact of the biblical floods might be in the “trillions”.
Singer Nouman Javed, who is currently a contestant of the reality show, Tamasha, has opened up about his unsuccessful marriages and illnesses.
When co-contestant Sehr Baig asked about his relationship status, the singer responded, “I am single right now and happy, currently, it has gotten a bit confusing for a while as I have some proposals and I am taking my time, they want to marry me, a few friends are thinking about me but I am afraid of taking decision because I am scared now, I have been bitten twice, actually, I have been bitten way too many times, I had been married twice but I understand that companionship is important in life, it keeps you normal.”
Prior to his split with Feriha, he stated in the media, “I don’t mind sharing personal things at all, also my news reached out to the world, one of my wife was a very popular singer (Feriha Pervez) and the other one was relatively famous actress (Jana Malik), well, I have learnt one thing about my self that I hold that Messiah complex, like the role of me being protector is there, I become too helpful but not every crying eye needs protection or help, a few people make it habit to play victim card.”
Nouman said he battled depression. “I was in depression for quite some time before finally attempting suicide. I was facing issues in life but I wish to make it clear that my marriage has not ended yet,” he said, referring to hearsay of his falling out with wife, singer Fariha Parvez.
“Secondly, Fariha was not the only reason behind my depression; there were a number of other things involved,” Nouman shared.
The talented singer also talked about his health when many noticed that his hands shake while doing anything.
Taking in stride the query he said, “My hands shiver since my childhood, I think, I have Parkinson’s disease, my hands do shiver, its a disease my organs would die down slowly and gradually, Robin Williams also had this disease, but, I am cool with it.”
A 30-year-old woman was arrested for reportedly staging her own kidnapping four times in order to extort money from her mother.
The woman allegedly texted her mother a video of herself blindfolded and splattered with blood, a kidnapping she had staged on her own.
“Mommy. They’ve kidnapped me,” the woman sobs in the video sent to her mother. “You can’t say anything to the police. If you do, they’ll kill me.” She told her mother that the kidnappers will release her for $50,000. She also claimed that she was assaulted and denied foo
d. The girl executed the plan with the help of her boyfriend and his family.
This is not the first time that the woman tried extorting money from her mother. In the past the woman extorted at least $45,000 from her mother in three incidents.
The woman and four others were arrested on September 5 from a casino. They were discovered with the knife and fake blood from the video. All five face charges of extortion, among other offenses.
