A |     Vicky Kaushal recently expressed his admiration for the massive success of Aditya Dhar’s latest projects, Dhurandhar and its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Speaking to PTI, he shared his thoughts while attending the red carpet of the inaugural International Film Festival of Delhi (IFFD) in the national capital. Vicky, who famously collaborated with Aditya Dhar for the 2019 hit Uri: The Surgical Strike, was full of praise for the director's new spy action franchise. He said, "I’m just very happy to see how Dhurandhar is working. I loved the first part, I’m yet to watch the second part. But Aditya is a great filmmaker, he’s got a great cast together, and I’m so happy that everyone is loving the film so much, and I can’t wait to catch it as soon as I go back to Mumbai.”           The first part of Dhurandhar released in December 2025 and became a global sensation, earning over ₹1300 crore worldwide. It starred Ranveer Singh as an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates criminal and political networks in Karachi to dismantle a terror cell. The star-studded cast includes Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi.          The sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which released on March 19, has already earned over ₹900 crore at the box office. The second film explores the rise of Ranveer’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari, while delving into his origins as Jaskirat Singh Rangi. While Vicky was happy to discuss his peers' success, he remained tight-lipped about his own upcoming project, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War. When asked for an update on the film, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Vicky politely declined to share details. He said, "Abhi toh festival ki baat karte hai. Usme abhi bhi waqt hai (Let’s talk about the festival now. There’s still time for that).”           Vicky was last seen in the historical epic Chhaava (2025), where he played the Maratha ruler Sambhaji. He is currently attending the IFFD, which is screening 140 films from 47 countries across various venues in Delhi.Also Read: Photos: Vicky Kaushal Clicked at The Airport in a Sleek All-black Look。

The anti-China group "Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China", along with its former chairman and vice-chairpersons Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, were charged with inciting others to subvert state power and have been remanded in custody since then. The local court in Hong Kong found two defendants guilty on Friday, and Ho pleaded guilty before the trial began, local media reported. 
The central government's office for safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) voiced support for the court's lawful prosecution on Friday, saying that the verdict demonstrates the spirit of the rule of law and upholds the authority of the National Security Law (NSL) for Hong Kong. 
The HKSAR government also welcomed the court's guilty verdict. HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said that for a long time, the Hong Kong Alliance had deliberately sown seeds of hatred toward the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the central government in Hong Kong society. Through various means, it sought to incite feelings of dislike and hatred toward the CPC and the central government among members of the public, and to encourage the public to subvert state power, RTHK reported. 
The defendants' long-standing conduct endangered national security, and their plot was plainly evident and had to be punished, Lee said.
Inciting subversion of state power is an extremely serious offense, he said. The HKSAR government has a responsibility to safeguard national security and will resolutely prevent, stop and punish acts and activities that endanger national security, Lee noted. 
In this case, the local court in Hong Kong clearly set out how Hong Kong courts understand and apply the provisions of the Chinese Constitution. The ruling will also serve as a legal principle and precedent, providing an important reference for future cases. It is consistent with legal principles and carries legal force, some legal experts said. 
Looking back at the case, the prosecution and defense engaged in intense legal arguments over the boundaries between freedom of expression and national security, with the core dispute going to the constitutional and legal limits under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework, Willy Fu, a law professor who is also the director of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong & Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Friday. 
In its closing submissions, the prosecution argued that the defendants' long-standing slogan of "ending one-party rule" was not merely a political advocacy campaign, but was essentially aimed at rejecting the leadership of the CPC and attempting to subvert the fundamental system of the state, Fu continued. 
Such conduct, the prosecution argued, went far beyond the scope of freedom of expression protected by the Basic Law and the NSL for Hong Kong, and constituted an objective act of inciting subversion of state power through "unlawful means," Fu said. 
In this case, the local court in Hong Kong clearly set out the Hong Kong courts' understanding and application of the provisions of the Chinese Constitution. The ruling will also serve as a legal principle and precedent, providing an important reference for future cases. It is consistent with legal principles and carries legal force, Chu Kar-kin, a veteran commentator based in the HKSAR and member of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Friday. 
Hong Kong judges likewise need to receive comprehensive and systematic education on China's national Constitution, Chu said. 
The Constitution is the fundamental law of the state and the most important component of the constitutional order of the HKSAR. The core of the constitutional order of the state is the establishment of the CPC's position as the governing party. The Preamble to the Constitution makes it clear that the leadership by the CPC is the core and foundation of the constitutional order of the PRC, a spokesperson from the HKSAR government said on Friday. 
The HKSAR is an inalienable part of the PRC. The state provides the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of Hong Kong, and the highest principle of "One Country, Two Systems" is to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, the spokesperson said. 
The HKSAR Government will resolutely safeguard the fundamental system of the state established by the Constitution and the security of state power, and will, in strict accordance with the principle of the rule of law, prevent, suppress and punish acts and activities endangering national security with full force and in accordance with the law, the spokesperson added.
