Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 eyes $1.5 million US premiere, set for over Rs 120 cr worldwide opening

Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 eyes $1.5 million US premiere, set for over Rs 120 cr worldwide opening

The Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in India has issued a notice to actor Imran Khan, requiring him to leave the country by October 28. This notice was issued following Imran's participation in a protest at Mumbai’s August Kranti Maidaan on October 10, where he demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The protest came in violation of the Foreigners Act, as alleged by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. Imran, a US citizen and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholder, was detained by Mumbai Police during the protest and was given the notice by the FRRO. This development occurs as Imran is preparing to return to Bollywood after an 11-year hiatus, with a full-fledged role in his upcoming film directed by Danish Aslam.

The film, which stars Bhumi Pednekar and Gurfateh Pirzada, is currently in post-production and is set to stream on Netflix. Imran's return to the industry has been marked by a few public appearances, including a cameo in Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos earlier this year. However, his ability to continue his professional commitments and live in India may be affected by the notice, potentially causing delays in his upcoming projects.
