As Toronto Blue Jays tickets are resold for thousands of dollars, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government may revive anti-scalping legislation it previously killed shortly after assuming office. “My personal opinion, going to talk to the whole team, they’re gouging the people,” he told reporters on Wednesday afternoon. “We have one player in the market that controls the tickets, that’s not right for the people.”Asked if he’d consider legislation specifically, Ford said his government would look at the option.Ford’s comments come a day after Blue Jays World Series tickets went on sale on Ticketmaster.

Because Mohit Malik is one of those actors who knows only one way to perform — by immersing himself completely in his characters, often blurring the lines between reel and real. We’ve seen it in Doli Armaanon Ki (2013) and Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala (2018), among others. Now, playing Lord Shiva — father to Ganesh and Kartikey — Malik reveals that it was a role he had once manifested but initially refused when the offer came his way. “It was destiny,” he says. It was also destiny that led him to Mirzapur: The Film, where he plays a pivotal role among actors “so secure in their craft”. In conversation with mid-day, Malik talks about his hesitation before taking up Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey, his move towards films, and working on the set of Mirzapur: The Fil...

It’s natural for an actor to feel apprehensive about alienating their audience when breaking away from their screen image. But Jitendra Kumar had no such worries when he said yes to Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas. “Of course, there are things that connect with the audience. But no matter how strong an actor’s image is, the audience wants to be surprised,” starts Kumar, who has built a fan base with his dependable characters in TVF’s Panchayat and Kota Factory. The Zee5 film felt like a necessary step. To him, it’s thrilling that even though he is best known as Jeetu bhaiyya of Kota Factory, the makers envisioned him in a dark role. “Harman [Baweja, producer] and the team’s excitement about having me in this complex, grey part excited me a lot. But it also raised expectations,” he smiles. I...
