Exclusive: Ruchi Narain was obsessed with ABC’s early 2010s drama Revenge — so much so that she spent years trying to land the rights to remake the Mike Kelley show in India.
“I was addicted to the show,” she recalled during an exclusive interview. “From when I saw episode one a decade ago, I thought that this is it — something that should be taken to the Indian audience.”
Now that’s finally come to pass, with Disney+ Hotstar in December ordering a remake, Karmma Calling, from R.A.T. Studios. Narain has the led the adaptation process, and the screenwriter and director has told Deadline the story of how she approached the trials and tribulations of porting the Hamptons to Mumbai high society.
But first, it’s worth exploring exactly how the series came about. Narain, known for hit Indian films such as Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Netflix’s 2020 feature Guilty,...

Fukuoka (Japan), July 22 (Ians) Australia’s Cassiel Rousseau claimed the men’s 10m platform title on Saturday to stop China from a clean sweep of all diving gold medals at the World Aquatics Championships.
China, who has won all other 12 diving events, still managed to secure the silver and bronze.
Rousseau, who was fourth in last year’s Budapest world championships, pulled ahead after the fifth dive when previous round leader Lian Junjie’s poor execution of 207B — back 3.5 somersaults pike — earned only 70.20 points, reports Xinhua.
Before the final round, Rousseau had built a lead of 1.05 points over second-placed Kyle Kothari of Britain. Lian was third with 8.50 points adrift.
In the final round, Rousseau and Lian, who uncorked the same dive, both earned 98.05 points, which was enough for Rousseau to seal the victory with a total of 520.85 points.
Lian took silver in 512.35 and his Chinese teammate Yang Hao finished third...

New York, Oct 5 (Ians) How can bots, which you can never miss whenever you log on to your bank website or check out a hotel, or those malicious tech world creatures Elon Musk keeps railing about, make a difference to the Ukraine war?
They can actually make serious difference, according to the Centre for Humanitarian Technology (Cfht), which has collaborated with the San Jose, California-based Automation Anywhere, Inc, to roll out the Telegram for Humanity customised software bot, or digital worker, to enable relief organisations automate humanitarian efforts for thousands of war-affected families across Ukraine.
It may sound grand, but it saves hundreds of hours of manual processing each week. Aid volunteers are thus freed to do more useful work.
