Celebrating 70 Years of ‘Inspector’ – Nadiadwala’s First Cinematic Milestone
In 1955, Inspector hit the silver screen, marking the start of a legendary journey in Indian cinema. Produced by Mr. Abdul Karim Nadiadwala (A.K. Nadiadwala), it was the very first film under the iconic Nadiadwala banner. Starring veterans like Ashok Kumar, Geeta Bali, and Pran, and directed by Shakti Samanta, the film laid the foundation for a cinematic legacy that would span decades.
Before entering the world of films, A.K. Nadiadwala was a successful name in the construction business. One of his landmark projects was Pushpa Park in Malad, named in honour of his beloved wife. Born in Nadiad, Gujarat, from where his surname comes, he owned half the city before making Mumbai his home and cinema his calling.
From real estate to reel life, his journey was marked by a series of memorable films that left a lasting impact on Indian cinema. Some of these include: Taj Mahal (1963), Chitralekha (1964), Izzat (1968), Amar Shakti (1978) and many more.
As Inspector completes 70 glorious years, we honor the vision and pioneering spirit of A.K. Nadiadwala, who not only built homes but also built dreams on celluloid.

The Ishq Jabariya actress further adds, “I believe in taking bold steps. Whenever the heart feels like doing something new whether it’s chasing a passion, starting a new project, or buying something meaningful we should just go for it.

So to everyone who celebrates, may this Akshay Tritiya bring courage, abundance, and fresh beginnings. And to those who don’t follow the tradition still take this moment as a gentle nudge to start something you’ve been holding back. After all, the best time to begin is always now.”

CrowdStrike Unveils Innovations to Secure Cloud Risk, from AI Models to Runtime Data
CrowdStrike announced new innovations, including AI Model Scanning and detection of Shadow AI, to secure every area of cloud risk with the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform. With capabilities that accelerate secure AI innovation, protect cloud data at runtime, stop SaaS threats, and secure hybrid identities, CrowdStrike expands its platform advantage, delivering unified visibility and protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Cloud intrusions are surging as adversaries exploit valid accounts, and the growth of AI and SaaS makes it harder to protect identities and sensitive data. Stopping cloud breaches requires unified visibility and protection across cloud infrastructure, workloads, applications, identity, data, AI models and SaaS. CrowdStrike covers every layer of cloud risk from the most comprehensive unified platform, spanning advanced cloud detection and response (CDR), AI-powered analytics, runtime protection and world-class threat intelligence to stop cloud breaches.
“Cloud security is about more than visibility – it’s about full protection and control across multi-cloud environments,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. “The explosion of AI, combined with multi-cloud complexity, has outpaced patchwork tools that can’t keep up with today’s adversaries, or are limited to single cloud environments. CrowdStrike is breaking that model. These innovations deliver real-time protection, not just telemetry, across every layer of risk: data, workloads, identities, SaaS and AI. It’s what only a unified, AI-native platform can do, and is the difference between watching attacks happen and actually stopping them.”
Securing AI in the Cloud
AI innovation is happening in the cloud, and securing that innovation is critical to stopping breaches. CrowdStrike set the standard for securing AI in the cloud with Falcon Cloud Security AI-SPM and AI Red Team Services, protecting the cloud infrastructure, systems and models powering the AI revolution. Building on this leadership, CrowdStrike introduced new Falcon® Cloud Security innovations to detect and mitigate risk in AI models before they become threats, and provide visibility into overall AI security posture:
- AI Model Scanning: Proactively scans AI models for hidden malware, trojanized models, backdoors, and adversarial manipulations in containerized environments – preventing compromised models from executing at runtime or reaching production. Powered by CrowdStrike threat intelligence and ExPRT.AI, security teams can identify and fix the most business-critical risks before deployment, block untrusted models and eliminate blind spots before threats reach production.
- AI Security Dashboard: Provides real-time visibility and centralized control over all AI workloads in the cloud. With agentless monitoring, security teams can detect shadow AI, enforce policies and track sensitive training data to reduce exposure and maintain compliant AI adoption.
Securing Cloud Identities, Data and SaaS
CrowdStrike also introduced new innovations across the Falcon platform to protect cloud data at runtime, stop SaaS threats and secure hybrid identities – driving faster threat detection and reducing risk across cloud environments:
- Falcon Data Protection for Cloud: Secures cloud data at runtime with real-time monitoring and enforcement powered by eBPF, stopping unauthorized access and data exposure, without slowing systems down.
- SaaS Threat Services: Provides tailored assessments and real-time threat detection for SaaS applications, helping organizations mitigate risks and secure their cloud-native environments.
- Falcon Privileged Access: Eliminates standing privileges and manual access requests to sensitive systems and data across hybrid environments through dynamic Just-in-Time access decisions.
- CrowdStrike Pulse Services: To harden cloud environments, CrowdStrike Pulse Services helps organizations identify and prioritize misconfigurations, manage identities and reduce cloud attack surfaces. Delivered through modular, expert-led engagements, Pulse enables teams to detect and respond to threats faster across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
