In a troubling development in Manipur's Borobekra region, Christian Kukis have recently targeted and burned down the home of Hindu Meitei Manaouton Singha in Jiribam.

Timothée Chalamet is channeling Bob Dylan in the first trailer for James Mangold’s upcoming biopic 'A Complete Unknown.' The 'Dune' actor stars in the film as the iconic folk singer-songwriter of the 1960s. Chalamet has also said he does his own singing for the role — just like his 'Dune Part 2' co-star Austin Butler did for his role in 'Elvis' — building on his musical work following his performance in 'Wonka.'
