The manchild nickname he picked up at 16 at Molde FK and never quite shook, the 62 goals in 54 international caps that made the pre-tournament doubts look silly, and why a man who demolishes defences for a living spends his downtime obsessing over ice candy and Fruit Ninja. Elsewhere, Shakun Batra talks us through what AI is doing to his instincts as a filmmaker, and why hes less worried about job losses than about content pollution. Fashion gets a double bill: Amrish Kumar on what it actually takes to scale an Indian label without hollowing it out, while Aneeth Arora, 17 years into pÉro, makes the case for whimsy as a design discipline rather than a decorative afterthought.

On four wheels: the Ferrari 12Cilindri gets a proper track outing, the Audi SQ8 makes its case at Rs 1.78 crore, and the Renault Dusters 1.3-litre turbo-petrol proves itself across three surfaces between Dehradun and the hills at Rs 18.49 lakh.
