Mumbai, May 13: Bollywood actors often endorse brands, and it can be said that their association with the products encourage a lot of people to buy them. But recently, a company claimed that Kareena Kapoor Khan used some weight-loss pills to lose 13 kg, which apparently, the actor has never used or endorsed. Now, her team is planning to send legal notices to the medical company that produces the products, as well as the website that carried the news.

Kareena KapoorKareena found out about the article a week ago. "As soon as she came across the article that mentioned that she used those pills to lose weight, she was shocked. She immediately consulted her legal team, and asked them to find out more details about the company, and the website. She is planning to sue the medical company for `20 crore. A legal notice will also be sent to the website," informs a source close to the actor.

Currently, Kareena’s legal team is looking for details about the medical company and the website. "Since these medicines are not products of a big pharmaceutical company, they are trying to contact the owner of the company. Kareena’s legal team is also checking if the website is in anyway associated with the brand," says the source, adding, "Kareena has never used pills to lose weight and the information provided on the website is not true."

While Kareena remained unavailable for a comment, her spokesperson confirmed the news, saying, "Kareena never has and never will advocate crash dieting or weight-loss pills. As a professional, she has never misled her fans with false claims. Her legal team will be taking action against the brand."

Los Angeles, Jun 26: Warner Bros has moved its Christopher Nolan-directed espionage thriller Tenet from July 31 to August 12.

It's the second delay for the highly-anticipated movie, which was originally scheduled to release on July 17 but was postponed to July 31 due to coronavirus pandemic.

Warner Bros. is committed to bringing Tenet' to audiences in theaters, on the big screen, when exhibitors are ready and public health officials say it's time. In this moment what we need to be is flexible, and we are not treating this as a traditional movie release.

We are choosing to open the movie mid-week to allow audiences to discover the film in their own time, and we plan to play longer, over an extended play period far beyond the norm, to develop a very different yet successful release strategy, a Warner Bros spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.

The studio has also delayed the US re-release of Nolan's sci-fi blockbuster Inception, in honour of the film's 10th anniversary, to July 31.

Tenet features John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine, Clemence Poesy, Dimple Kapadia and Himesh Patel.
