Octavia Spencer’s mission to bring diverse stories to life

The actor, who has won an Academy Award, is now focusing on creating content that not only entertains but also educates. This shift is not only redefining her career but also making a significant mark on the industry by bringing diverse stories to the forefront.

## Expanding Horizons with Production

Spencer’s move into production allows her to have a greater say in the stories that are told. By producing, she can ensure that projects reflect the diversity and depth of human experience. This transition from acting to producing highlights her commitment to shaping narratives that resonate with audiences on multiple levels.

## Championing Diverse Stories

Through her production company, Spencer is championing stories that are often overlooked in mainstream cinema. She is dedicated to bringing diverse voices and perspectives to the screen. This approach not only enriches the cinematic landscape but also gives underrepresented communities the chance to see their stories told authentically.

## Collaborating with Emerging Talent

These collaborations often lead to fresh ideas and unique storytelling approaches that challenge conventional norms.

## Impact on Industry Standards

Everything we know about Toyota’s upcoming sports car

**Everything We Know About Toyota’s Upcoming Sports Car**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025, 05:29 PM*

Toyota has teased its highly anticipated upcoming sports car, signaling a major reveal event scheduled for Monday in Japan. The automaker shared intriguing teaser photos featuring a billboard at the iconic Fuji Speedway. The billboard showcases the front end of the new sports car positioned alongside legendary models like the LFA and the 2000GT. These images were posted on Toyota’s official page on X, sparking excitement among enthusiasts.

### Upcoming Event and Teaser Website

Toyota has also launched a teaser website hinting at a significant event where it will make several announcements spanning multiple brands, including GR, Crown, and Daihatsu. While the landing page does not disclose extensive details, it offers subtle clues. A prominent message reads:
*”The sign at Fuji Speedway has changed. On the left is the 2000GT. Next to it is the LFA. And next to that.?”*

This cryptic line hints at the unveiling of a new sports car that aims to stand alongside these iconic predecessors.

### Possible Reveal: GR GT3 and Lexus LFR

One of the focal points of Monday’s event could be the first official look at Toyota’s new GR GT3 race car. This vehicle serves as a precursor to the upcoming Lexus LFR race car. David Wilson, President of Toyota Racing, has previously indicated that this car will make its competitive debut at the 2026 Daytona 24 Hours in January.

Spotted prototypes of the GR GT3 are marked with yellow stickers, strongly suggesting the inclusion of a hybrid powertrain, which hints at Toyota’s ongoing commitment to blending performance with advanced technology.

### What to Expect Beyond the Sports Car

While much of the excitement revolves around the new sports car and race models, Toyota’s announcements are expected to cover a broader range of topics. With GR, Daihatsu, and Crown brands also featured, enthusiasts can anticipate additional updates and possibly new model introductions across these lineups.

Stay tuned on Monday for what promises to be a significant day in Toyota’s motorsport and performance vehicle story.

‘Bigg Boss 19’: Salman schools Neelam, calls her ‘weak competitor’

**‘Bigg Boss 19’: Salman Khan Schools Neelam Giri, Calls Her a ‘Weak Competitor’**

*By Isha Sharma | October 11, 2025, 02:21 PM*

In the latest promo for **Bigg Boss 19’s Weekend Ka Vaar**, host Salman Khan confronted contestant Neelam Giri over her refusal to cook following a disagreement with fellow housemate Gaurav Khanna.

### The Incident

During a recent task, Gaurav Khanna made a comment about Neelam only cooking and not contributing in other ways to the game. Although Khanna later clarified that his remark was part of the task, Neelam decided to give up on her cooking duty altogether, refusing to continue.

### The Confrontation

In the promo, Salman asked Neelam, *“Playground wale task mein karna kya tha?”* (What were you supposed to do in the playground task?), to which she replied, *“Bura bura bolna tha.”* (We had to say bad things.)

Salman then questioned why she was taking out her anger on everyone else for something Khanna said as part of the task. Neelam responded that she simply didn’t feel like cooking after that incident.

### Salman’s Criticism: A ‘Weak Competitor’

Salman didn’t hold back and criticized Neelam sharply for not clearly voicing her opinions in the house. He labeled her a “weak competitor,” saying:

*“Iss ghar mein aapka jo opinion hai, woh saamne aata hi nahi hai. Sach kadwa hota hai. Ki aap ek aisi weak competitor ho, ki inko aapse koi khatra nahi hai.”*

(“This is exactly the problem, Neelam. In this house, your opinions never come forward. The truth is bitter. You are such a weak competitor that no one here sees you as a threat.”)

### Fans React on Social Media

The promo has sparked reactions among fans, many of whom support Salman Khan’s stance. One viewer commented, “Salman Khan is right,” while another wrote, “Thank God he raised this issue.”

Others urged fellow contestants to take notice, with a fan saying, “Tell Amaal and Shehbaz also, they were supporting Neelam. Gaurav was right.”

Meanwhile, Neelam Giri finds herself among the contestants nominated for eviction this week.

Stay tuned for more updates from *Bigg Boss 19* as the drama unfolds.

22 Pictures of Sassy Cats Serving Supreme Side-Eye Energy

Few things in life are as powerful, or as terrifying, as a cat’s side-eye. One squint, one slow turn of the head, and suddenly you’re questioning every life choice you’ve ever made.

Cats have perfected the art of silent judgment, and they wield it like royalty with a crown made of sass. Whether you dared to serve dinner five minutes late or had the audacity to move them from their chair, the look says it all: utter disappointment wrapped in whiskers.

It’s not anger. It’s pure feline superiority. That subtle glare communicates, “You’re lucky I tolerate you, hooman,” and yet we still find it adorable.

These side-eye masters could teach a masterclass in drama. One eyebrow flick (if they had eyebrows), and boom! You’re on trial for crimes against catkind.

Still, behind all that shade is a little fluffball who secretly loves you. Probably.

Until then, take comfort in knowing your cat’s judgment means you’re part of their world. No one throws shade quite like a sassy feline.

Jr. NTR exits Dadasaheb Phalke biopic; here’s what we know

**Jr. NTR Exits Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic: What We Know So Far**

*By Apoorva Rastogi | October 9, 2025, 05:16 PM*

Telugu superstar Jr. NTR has reportedly opted out of the much-anticipated Hindi-Telugu biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke, widely regarded as the father of Indian cinema. According to reports from Deccan Chronicle, the actor is now focusing on his Telugu film career alongside Prashanth Neel’s upcoming project, *Dragon*.

### Why Did Jr. NTR Exit?

A source close to the project revealed multiple reasons behind Jr. NTR’s decision. Firstly, the actor is currently reluctant to portray a real-life personality, especially a legendary figure from the past.

The source told Deccan Chronicle, “At the moment, NTR doesn’t want to play a real-life character, and that too a legend from the past.”

Secondly, the biopic was set to be directed by S.S. Rajamouli’s son, Karthik Rajamouli, rather than Rajamouli himself, which may have influenced his choice.

Most importantly, Aamir Khan is also working on a separate Dadasaheb Phalke biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The source added, “Doing another of the same serves no purpose.”

### SS Rajamouli’s Biopic Plans

Despite Jr. NTR’s exit and objections raised by Phalke’s grandson, Chandrashekhar Srikrishna Pusalkar, director S.S. Rajamouli is reportedly moving ahead with the biopic project.

Rumors had circulated that actor Prabhas might be approached to play the lead role, but these speculations have been dismissed by sources close to the film.

In related news, there was recent speculation that Aamir Khan requested director Rajkumar Hirani to rewrite his version of the Phalke biopic. However, reports now suggest that the project is proceeding as originally planned.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic and the casting developments as the project progresses.
