Rakshasa trailer: Vijay Raghavendra turns cop who investigated crocodile attacks

Kannada Zee5 recently unveiled the trailer of its upcoming original series Rakshasa, a haunting crime thriller that plunges viewers into a world where belief, violence, and truth collide. Set to premiere on 20th February, the seven-episode series unfolds along the misty banks of the Malaprabha River in rural North Karnataka, where fear moves quietly, and nothing is what it seems. What is Rakshasa about? The two-minute trailer introduces Sub-Inspector Hanmappa (Vijay Raghavendra), who is assigned to probe a string of alleged crocodile attacks near the Yellamma temple in Savadatti. What initially appears to be accidental deaths soon takes a darker turn as bloodied remains surface and murmurs of folklore begin to cloud public perception. As faith and fear intertwine, Hanmappa finds himself ...

AI Chatbots Are Even Worse at Giving Medical Advice Than We Thought

It’s tempting to think that an LLM chatbot can answer any question you pose it, including those about your health. After all, chatbots have been trained on plenty of medical information, and can regurgitate it if given the right prompts. But that doesn’t mean they will give you accurate medical advice, and a new study shows how easily AI’s supposed expertise breaks down. In short, they are even worse at it than I thought.In the study, researchers first quizzed several chatbots about medical information. In these carefully conducted tests, ChatGPT-4o, Llama 3, and Command R+ correctly diagnosed medical scenarios an impressive 94% of the time—though they were able to recommend the right treatment a much less impressive 56% of the time. But that wasn’t a real-world test for the chatbots medic...

Abhishek Banerjee on Legacy: ‘Made me aware of how storytelling changes`

In 2026, Abhishek Banerjee may have three projects lined up on the same platform, but he insists they couldn’t be more different from one another. While the actor is excited about being part of Netflix’s anthology Lust Stories 3 and Rajkummar Rao’s maiden production Toaster, the project closest to his heart is Legacy. After all, it marks his first Tamil web series. “Working in a different language and cultural environment pushed me out of my comfort zone. It made me more aware, more prepared, and more respectful of how storytelling changes with context and region,” he said of the crime drama led by R Madhavan.  Unlike Legacy, Lust Stories 3 may have offered Banerjee a familiar language, but the material made him explore unfamiliar terrain. The actor, who stars in filmmaker Vikramaditya Mo...
