It takes a lot of confidence to wear a white suit to a fight in an open-cut mine. It takes something else — maybe an Avengers-style superpower, to repel dirt — to come out of said fight still gleaming, shirt collar tidily spread across those snowy lapels, shades on. Rocky, outlaw hero of KGF, has confidence to burn, obviously: when he tells a former U.S. president that he is the CEO of India, he isn’t joking. We know that for sure because, whatever else he does — fighting off would-be assassins, staging boardroom coups, buying off every politician in the Indian legislature or mashing heads with a mallet — Rocky, like his American namesake, doesn’t joke. He’s got stuff to do.

“The King’s Shadow” by Edmund Richardson (St. Martin’s Press)Charles Masson isn't a household name, even for many avid readers of history, but it's easy to wonder why that's the case after reading “The King's Shadow."Historian Edmund Richardson's book on Masson's search for the lost city Alexandria Beneath the Mountains is less about the treasure hunt and more about the unlikeliest of archeological heroes.A deserter from the army for the East India Company in the 1800s, Masson wound up in Afghanistan and sought to find the remnants of the famed city that was part of Alexander the Great's sprawling empire.That search winds up being the backdrop for Masson's exploits as he dodges spies from the East India company, rivalling rulers and others.

Oscar night slap of Chris Rock is underway, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Monday, as it denounced the “King Richard” star’s behavior.“The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith,” the statement read. “We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law.” The statement from the AMPAS is its first official comment since the primetime assault — though it tweeted early Monday that it does “not condone violence of any form.” The group stopped short of noting any specific consequences Smith could face. Late Sunday, Smith walked on stage and slapped Rock after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s baldness, prompting Hollywood insiders to speculate whether his eventual Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in “King Richard” could be revoked. A longtime Academy member told The Post they don’t think Smith would be deprived of the honor — but that it’s possible he won’t be asked back next year to present the Best Actress Oscar, as is customary.
