Bengali cinematographer Soumyadeep Guin found DEAD at home; Police suspect…

Soumyadeep Guin, a well-known cinematographer in the Bengali film industry, known as “Vicky” was found hanging at his home in South Kolkata. He was 40 years old. According to an India Today report, family members discovered him in this state around 12 noon, after which the police were immediately informed. Police arrived at the scene, took possession of the body, and began investigating the case. The cause of death has not yet been officially determined, but initial suspicions point to suicide. Police are investigating all angles.
 
Lack of work and stress worsened Soumyadeep distress
 
Reports say that the first investigation pointed out that Vicky was not getting as many projects as he expected. This led him to financial troubles and to suffering from stress. His neighbors allegedly reported a bad odor from the apartment which had the police breaking the door open. The state of the house gives rise to the suspicion that he was insane. Police say that long period nonworking and evergrowing stress may have been the key reason behind his mental permutation.
 
Vicky was battling depression
 
Investigating officers stated that they learned Soumyadeep Guin had been suffering from depression for some time. He was worried about his professional life and was constantly looking for new work. His mental condition gradually worsened. Police are also investigating whether there were any stressors in his personal life or family. Reportedly, a police officer confirmed, “We have been told he may not have been getting the kind of projects he had been expecting in recent times we are probing that angle as well. We have been told he was suffering from depression.” His sudden demise is a huge shock to his family, friends, and colleagues.
 
All about Soumyadeep Guin
 
Soumyadeep Guin had a long tenure in the Tollywood film industry and was eventually awarded for his art. He collaborated with well-known personalities such as director Raja Chanda and cinematographer-director Premendu Bikash Chaki. His technical and meticulous work habits earned him a reputation as a reliable professional in the industry. He is survived by his spouse and a toddler. During this unfortunate period, the Cinematographers Guild has decided to render financial support to Vicky’s family in order to assist them in getting through this tough time.

Taylor Swift’s security team on high alert ahead of wedding with Travis Kelce

Concerns for security have increased regarding Taylor Swift as she prepares for her wedding with Travis Kelce. The couple’s well-known relationship and regular public appearances have increased these worries, especially with the wedding expected next year. Historically, Swift has placed her safety first, while Kelce has offered a lot of support. Due to the couple’s popularity and expectation for an extravagant event, security measures are being evaluated. Reports suggest that Swift’s team is exercising increased caution because of the dangers linked to her fame.
A source cited by Radar Online states, “Taylor is in love and living openly, but her security team is on edge. The value of what she wears could tempt professionals who plan months in advance.” This highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing her public persona with personal security measures.
A different source clarified, “It’s not about whether she’s careless,” said a source. “It’s that her life is public property her every move is charted. Criminals don’t need to guess where she’ll be on any given night.”
A former celebrity bodyguard stated, “A wedding for someone like Taylor Swift is a dream scenario for thieves high-profile guests, expensive gifts, staff turnover, and everyone distracted, plus the millions of dollars of jewelry she will be wearing.” The same bodyguard added, “Without airtight protocols, it’s chaos waiting to happen and she will potentially be a sitting duck for a heist.” These comments emphasize the difficulties encountered by Swift’s team in obtaining such a prominent event.
In the past year, Swift has encountered multiple security incidents, including a threat that resulted in the cancellation of an Eras Tour concert in Vienna. Reports have also surfaced regarding a stalker previously reported by Swift, who has now vanished, heightening concerns among her fans. In spite of these worries, Swift has maintained her presence in public, choosing to attend Kansas City Chiefs home games instead of road games. Neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly addressed these security issues.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are said to be anxious that any fallout with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might “damage” their careers.

What happened at the venue?
As per the officials, the Bhojpuri actress was invited to perform at the Muranik Mahadev Dham in the Ramnagar tehsil area of Barabanki. The incident took place at around 10 pm, when people became increasingly thrilled after seeing the vivacious moves of the actress. There was a stampede-like situation as people began pushing each other in order to get closer to the stage.
What was the result?
Reportedly, there were men pushing on pillars, railings, and other structures inside the pandal as they waved their phone’s flashlight while trying to capture videos of the actress. The security tried to get the situation under control by stopping the crowd; however, the people did not stop. Eventually, the barricades could not take the pressure and collapsed under the weight. This led to people rushing towards the stage. This ultimately also led to damage as hundreds of chairs were broken.

As the situation worsened, Akshara had to discontinue the performance midway and was escorted out of the venue by the police and security.
As per the reports, the number of attendees was almost double what was expected, which led to the disorderly situation. The authorities are still assessing the damage that was caused by the mob.

Following the excitement surrounding Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, fans have been anxiously anticipating its release. Although the initial segment of the film is complete, recent updates suggest that Ramayana Part 2 may not be released as initially scheduled. With Ranbir balancing two massive films at the same time, the schedule has become tighter than planned.
Ranbir’s Packed Calendar Slows Down Ramayana Part 2
Ranbir Kapoor earlier preferred to work on one film at a time, but that has changed in a big way. He is now shooting for two large-scale projects together, Ramayana and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War. Both films demand long hours, heavy prep, and extended shooting schedules.

Reports from Deccan Chronicle stated, “Ranbir had planned to complete the two parts of Ramayana, then finish Bhansali’s Love & War. But the film is showing no sign of getting done. Therefore, he has no choice but to give Bhansali all the dates that were originally meant for Ramayana Part 2. This means that Part 2 may not be able to reach theatres as per plan at the end of 2026.” The delay is not yet final, but it appears likely.

Meanwhile, Love & War is another giant film. Ranbir recently said working with Bhansali again after 17 years is intense but fulfilling. With Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal joining him, the film has become a major priority for the actor.
