Celina Jaitly seeks Rs 10 lakhs monthly maintenance, and Rs 100 crores in damages; court to hear case on December 12

Posted by on PP in

Actor Celina Jaitly’s legal team has confirmed that a domestic violence complaint has been filed against her husband Peter Haag, an Austrian national, before the Judicial Magistrate First Class in Andheri, Mumbai. The case was taken up on Tuesday for verification, following which the court issued a notice to Haag, returnable on December 12.

Advocate Niharika Karanjawala, appearing for Jaitly, told ANI that the complaint details years of alleged abuse. “Yes, we filed a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act for cruelty and domestic violence, both physical and emotional, that has lasted for many years through Miss Jaitly’s marriage with Mr Peter Haag,” she said.

Karanjawala added that the allegations include prolonged physical and emotional cruelty, manipulation, and coercion. Alongside the domestic violence case, separate civil proceedings are also underway in Mumbai regarding a property Jaitly owns. According to her counsel, the property’s gift deed was allegedly obtained by Haag “through coercion.”

The petition seeks multiple forms of relief. “Our prayer is manifold with regards to compensation to be paid to Celina, alimony, as well as determinations with regards to her children,” Karanjawala stated. Jaitly’s primary concern, she noted, remains her three children, who are currently in Austria with Haag.

As per the filing, Jaitly has requested a monthly maintenance of Rs 10 lakhs. The petition also seeks Rs 50 crores for loss of potential earnings. Karanjawala explained that this figure accounts for the period when Jaitly was allegedly compelled to stop working “at a very lucrative time in her career.” A separate sum of Rs 50 crores has been claimed for pain and suffering.

The matter will now be heard on December 12, following the court’s issuance of notice to Haag.

Elvish Yadav makes acting debut as Amazon MX Player drops Aukaat Ke Bahar teaser

Posted by on PP in

Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free video streaming service, today released the teaser of its upcoming youth drama Aukaat Ke Bahar, marking the acting debut of viral digital creator Elvish Yadav. Set inside a prestigious college in Delhi, the series explores identity, ambition, and the complicated nature of young relationships through the story of Rajveer Ahlawat, a 19-year-old boy from Safidon, Haryana, whose world tilts after one defining moment changes how everyone sees him.

The teaser opens with a striking visual of Rajveer in his boxing gear, framing him as someone who meets life head-on. It then cuts to a sweeping angle of him standing alone on the vast campus he’s about to claim for himself. From there, the footage drops viewers into the pulse of his new reality: hostel madness, campus politics, sharp-tongued banter, and adrenaline-heavy boxing scenes. All of it paints the world he’s stepping into, a place fuelled by hierarchy, privilege, and the unspoken demand to constantly prove your worth. Within those flashes lies a hint of the humiliation that pushes Rajveer into a reckless choice, setting the tone for a story driven by pride, love, and consequence.

Headlined by Elvish Yadav, the show boasts a stellar ensemble cast featuring Nikhil Vijay, Hetal Gada, and Malhaar Rathod in pivotal roles. With its mix of familiar faces, strong youth energy, and a rooted North Indian backdrop, Aukaat Ke Bahar brings a fresh, contemporary edge to the college-drama landscape.

Aukaat Ke Bahar will soon be released exclusively on Amazon MX Player, free to stream across the MX Player app, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream.

BREAKING: In a RARE instance, John Abraham issues public notice; distances himself from Sajid Khan’s 100% after producers name him as lead

Posted by on PP in

Earlier this month, Bollywood Hungama reported that a public notice published on November 7, 2025, in Komal Nahta’s Film Information has confirmed that Jai Ho Media LLP has officially acquired the exclusive, perpetual, and worldwide rights to the upcoming Hindi film 100%, starring John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, and others. However, in a rare instance, John Abraham has come out with a public notice, distancing himself from 100%.

A notice published on November 22 in Atul Mohan’s Complete Cinema magazine by law firm Naik Naik & Co stated John Abraham is not associated in any capacity with a film titled 100 Percent. It stresses that he is a well-known actor in the Indian film industry and that his name has been “wrongly mentioned and misrepresented” as part of the film’s star cast.

The public note by the makers of 100% was also published in Complete Cinema on October 11 and 18, 2025 (Complete Cinema magazine was the first one to publish the notice), which appears as Annexure A beneath the new ad. That earlier notice, issued by ANM Global Inc, Advocates & Solicitors, announced that their client had acquired worldwide, perpetual rights to a Hindi film currently titled 100%. In its schedule, the notice listed John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh and others as the “current star cast”, with Sajid Khan as director and Aakash Kaushik, Madhur Sharma and Rohan Shankar as writers.

John’s latest notice points out that, despite this mention, he has no connection with the film. It calls upon all concerned persons in the public and film trade to refrain from using his name or suggesting any association with 100 Percent in any manner whatsoever.

The legal communication further warns that any continued use of his name, or implication that he is involved with the project after the publication of this notice, will be treated as wilful and deliberate. Such misuse, it adds, will be considered actionable, with John Abraham reserving his full rights and remedies under law and equity against any offending parties.

Dated 22 November 2025 and issued from Mumbai, the clarification effectively serves as a strong disclaimer to producers, distributors, exhibitors and the media. While the October notice dealt purely with exploitation rights of the film and sought claims, if any, within 15 days, the November follow-up focuses solely on correcting the record about John Abraham’s alleged participation.

In short, John has made it unequivocally clear that, despite being named in previous legal paperwork for 100 Percent, he is not part of the film and does not wish his reputation to be used to promote or market it.

Residential societies join schools in organising theatre visits for 120 Bahadur

Posted by on PP in

Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios’ war drama 120 Bahadur, which opened in theatres on November 21, continues to draw growing footfall as early reviews from critics, audiences, and industry members remain consistently positive. The film’s reception has now moved beyond regular moviegoers, finding support from schools and even residential societies that are organising collective visits to cinemas.

In several cities, schools have begun taking students for special screenings, viewing the film as an opportunity to introduce younger audiences to a defining chapter in India’s military history. Teachers and administrators have noted that the film offers a straightforward depiction of courage and commitment, allowing students to understand the idea of service to the nation through a real historical event.

Residential societies, too, have responded in an organised manner. One cooperative housing society issued a notice encouraging residents to watch the film together. The message highlighted the importance of acknowledging the contribution of the 13 Kumaon Regiment and read in part:

“Residents are requested to come together to watch 120 Bahadur in theatres and stand for the heroes who stood for the nation. Let’s book the show and enjoy their pride.”

The society booked a 9 PM screening at Rajhans Cinema for its members, adding to the growing trend of community-led viewings.

120 Bahadur recounts the courage shown by 120 soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment who fought in the Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 war. Farhan Akhtar portrays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, the Param Vir Chakra awardee who led the contingent. The film’s narrative foregrounds the regiment’s resolve, encapsulated in the words “Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge,” a line that reflects the spirit with which the soldiers faced overwhelming odds.

Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, and Amit Chandrra, the film is an Excel Entertainment production. It is currently playing in cinemas across the country.

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC goes easy on Tere Ishk Mein; only ONE ‘obscene’ word changed; intensely romantic and action scenes UNTOUCHED

Posted by on PP in

This Friday will see the release of Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. The love saga is all set to surprise based on the advance booking trends, with a double-digit opening not being ruled out. And another good news is that the film has been passed with just one cut by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Tere Ishk Mein has a lot of fights and intense romance, as evident from the trailers. The CBFC usually asks for deletions in the action scenes, certain fiery dialogues or intimate moments. But with Tere Ishk Mein, they have not asked for any visual cut at all. Only one dialogue has been modified.”

As per the cut list, an ‘obscene’ word was replaced with an appropriate word at around 27 minutes. The two more changes asked were to insert the anti-smoking static message in Hindi and blur the liquor brand label.

Once these changes were made, Tere Ishk Mein was passed with a U/A 16+ certificate on November 24. The length of the film, as mentioned, on the censor certificate is 169.17 minutes. In other words, Tere Ishk Mein is 2 hours, 49 minutes and 17 seconds long. It releases in cinemas on November 28.

Fun at the trailer launch

The trailer launch of Tere Ishk Mein was held on November 14 and was attended by Dhanush, Kriti Sanon, director Aanand L Rai, producer Bhushan Kumar, co-producer Shiv Chanana, writer-producer Himanshu Sharma and co-writer Neeraj Yadav.

At this event, Dhanush won the hearts of his fans with his replies and also sang, which led to a frenzy. A journalist asked the actor, “What is the one thing about (his Tere Ishk Mein character) Shankar that connected with you?” Dhanush raised laughs as he said, “Nothing. Really. I am nothing like Shankar!”

Another highlight was when Dhanush was asked what love meant to him. He stylishly replied, “I think love is just another overrated emotion!”

Celina Jaitly shares emotional note after filing domestic violence case against husband Peter Haag: “Life stripped everything away”

Posted by on PP in

Celina Jaitly, who recently made headlines after ANI reported that she has filed a domestic violence case against her husband Peter Haag, shared a deeply personal note on Instagram on Tuesday, reflecting on the turmoil she is navigating. According to ANI, the former actress has approached the Judicial Magistrate First Class in Andheri, seeking damages of Rs 50 crores along with compensation for alleged loss of income and property.

Hours after the news broke, Celina posted an emotional message on Instagram, describing the period as the “strongest, most turbulent storm” of her life. She wrote that she has been fighting without the support of her parents or a family structure, adding that she never imagined experiencing such solitude.

“Life stripped everything away. People I trusted walked away. Promises I believed in broke in silence,” she said, before asserting that the ordeal has not crushed her but “delivered” her. Celina described finding new strength in herself, attributing her resilience to being “a soldier’s daughter” raised with discipline and grit.

The actress said her current focus is fighting for her children, for her brother, and for her dignity. She confirmed that a domestic violence complaint has been filed “against all the atrocities and abandonment perpetrated” upon her.

Celina expressed gratitude to her legal team at Karanjawala & Co., calling them the “shield” she needed during the crisis. As the matter is now sub judice, she requested media outlets to reach out to her lawyers — Sandeep Kapur, Niharika Karanjawala Misra, and Rytim Vohra Ahuja — for any official comments.

Celina Jaitly files domestic violence case against husband Peter Haag: Report

Posted by on PP in

Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly has filed a domestic violence complaint against her husband, Austrian hotelier and entrepreneur Peter Haag, as reported by ANI. She approached a Mumbai court under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act, accusing Haag of domestic violence, cruelty, and manipulation. Following her petition, the court issued a formal notice to Haag. Further details regarding the allegations and the next hearings are awaited.

Celina Jaitly and Peter Haag married in 2011 in Austria. The couple welcomed twin sons in March 2012, marking a happy chapter in their marriage. In 2017, they became parents to another set of twin boys, but the family suffered a heartbreaking loss when one of the infants passed away due to a hypoplastic heart condition. Celina, known for films such as No Entry, Golmaal Returns, Thank You, Apna Sapna Money Money, and Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, has mostly stayed away from the public eye in recent years, making headlines only during significant personal moments.

This domestic violence case comes shortly after another legal step taken by the actress. Last month, Celina approached a Delhi court seeking intervention regarding her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Jaitly. She alleged that he had been “illegally abducted and detained” in the United Arab Emirates, where he has lived since 2016.

Vikrant Jaitly was associated with the MATITI Group, a company engaged in consultancy, trading, and risk management services. Celina claimed that the Ministry of External Affairs had been unable to provide basic information about his condition, legal status, or well-being since his reported detention in September 2024. The Delhi court later directed authorities to ensure that the family could contact him and facilitate communication between Vikrant, Celina, and his wife.

These back-to-back legal developments have placed Celina and her family in the spotlight as they navigate ongoing personal and legal challenges.

Rajkumar Hirani brings storytelling wisdom to IFFI, breaking down the art of writing and editing: "Writing imagines emotion, editing experiences it"

Posted by on PP in

Lights dimmed and anticipation filled the air at IFFI as audiences gathered for a masterclass that felt more like an energising creative session than a traditional workshop. When filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani arrived at the Kala Academy Hall, the atmosphere lifted instantly. By the end of the event, writers were jotting down ideas, editors were nodding in recognition, and cinephiles were visibly inspired.

Hirani shared practical insights and clear principles that have shaped his career. “Writing is emotion imagined; editing is emotion experienced. The writer writes the first draft, the editor the last. Theme is the soul of a film, while conflict is its oxygen,” he said, setting the tone for his session titled “Film is Made on Two Tables — Writing and Editing.”

He described writing as a space of creative freedom—where skies are endless, actors are perfect, and no constraints exist. However, he emphasised that once this material reaches the editing table, reality reshapes it. According to him, a story truly begins only when a character wants something deeply, and conflict gives the narrative life.

Rajkumar Hirani encouraged writers to draw from real experiences. “A good writer must pick triggers from life. Real experiences make stories unique and relatable,” he noted. He also reminded the audience that exposition should blend naturally into the drama and that the film’s theme should quietly guide every scene.

Speaking with affection for his first craft—editing—Hirani highlighted the editor’s unseen influence. He explained that while the shot is the basic unit of editing, shifting its context can completely alter meaning. “An editor can flip a story 180 degrees,” he said, adding that their work often remains invisible but is central to holding a film together.

Referencing early cinema, he recalled DW Griffith’s observation that a skilled editor shapes audience emotion. Hirani reinforced this idea with a line that echoed throughout the hall: “The writer writes the first draft. The editor writes the last.”

He also underlined the importance of strong antagonists. “Every character believes they are right,” he said, stressing that the tension between opposing yet valid viewpoints creates the energy that drives a story.

Screenwriter Abhijat Joshi joined the conversation, reflecting on the value of memory in storytelling. He explained that certain real-life moments—funny, painful, or surprising—stay with people for years and often hold more authenticity than purely invented scenes. He shared that many such memories helped shape 3 Idiots, from the electric-shock joke to subtle character traits inspired by people he had observed.

Joshi concluded with essential screenwriting reminders: every character must want something meaningful, conflict fuels cinema, and the strongest drama arises when two genuine truths collide.

Sharmila Tagore on missing out on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani with Dharmendra, “I fell ill and couldn’t do the film”

Posted by on PP in

“We shared the same birthday. He was my co-star in seven films. I knew he was not keeping good health. But the news of his passing is still very saddening,” said Sharmila Tagore, who worked in films as far-ranging as Satyakam and Chupke Chupke with Dharmendra.

She reflected on their screen togetherness. “We first worked together in Devar and then during the same year in Anupama. Two very serious subjects, followed by an out-and-out commercial film Mere Humdum Mere Dost. Shooting with him was a breeze. He was as effortless on screen as he was off it. He was never ‘The Star’ on the sets, always his natural self. There was nothing put-on about him.”

Sharmila Tagore recalled her first meeting with Dharmendra. “Before we worked together, we met when I was shooting with Yash Chopra’s Waqt. I don’t know in what context he was there. But I remember he was dressed… how shall I put it… not like a star at all. When someone complimented him, he hugged that person with such sincerity. That genuineness stayed with him.”

Sharmila ji missed the opportunity to work with Dharamji in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. “I fell ill and couldn’t do the film. The last film we did together was Sunny, where he did a small guest appearance for his son Sunny (Deol)’s sake. I had spoken to him about a documentary, which a lady was making on me. She wanted to speak to Dharam ji. He, of course, said very good things about me. I wish we had more opportunities to interact.”

She singled out Chupke Chupke as the highpoint of their collaboration. “Wherever I go, fans mention Chupke Chupke as their favourite. I am sure Dharmendra also got the same reaction from the public. When I was ill, I watched Chupke Chupke and laughed quite a lot. It is a rare comedy that continues to be funny over the years. We don’t make too many genuinely funny comedies.”

Border 2’s music coup: Diljit Dosanjh joins Sonu Nigam & Arijit Singh for the legendary Sandese Aate Hai rebirth

Posted by on PP in

In what is already being called one of the most ambitious musical collaborations in recent memory, the makers of Border 2 are gearing up to unveil a recreated version of the iconic patriotic anthem ‘Sandese Aate Hai’. The new rendition brings together two of India’s most powerful contemporary voices Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh and is being positioned for a worldwide launch.

While the reunion of Sonu and Arijit is creating massive anticipation, industry chatter suggests that the big surprise is the addition of two more singers, with one of them almost certainly being Diljit Dosanjh. His involvement has already become a key talking point in trade circles, especially with his expanding presence in major Hindi film productions.

A senior industry insider, speaking to Bollywood Hungama, said, “The team wanted a voice that bridges authenticity and modern appeal that’s where Diljit fits in effortlessly. He adds a distinct emotional texture to the track. With Sonu bringing legacy and Arijit bringing contemporary depth, this combination is unlike anything we’ve heard in a patriotic film in years.”

The recreation is being treated as a prestige project, with the makers reportedly planning a large-scale promotional rollout to match the legacy of the original song. The track is expected to serve as a centrepiece of Border 2, which marks the return of Sunny Deol to one of the most defining cinematic spaces of his career.

Alongside Deol, the film boasts an ensemble featuring Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Suniel Shetty, and Tiger Shroff, setting the stage for a multi-generational war drama. Fans can also look forward to an exclusive glimpse of the OG Border star power, with Sunny Deol once again leading the charge in this sweeping patriotic narrative.

With the combination of star vocalists, a massive cast, and one of India’s most emotionally resonant songs being revived for a new generation, Border 2 is shaping up to be a major cinematic event. The team is said to be preparing for a thunderous nationwide and global response once the track is released.

Legendary actor Dharmendra passes away at 89

Posted by on PP in

Veteran Bollywood icon Dharmendra, fondly known as the He-Man of Indian Cinema, passed away early this morning in Mumbai at the age of 89. A rare blend of charm, strength, and sensitivity, Dharmendra defined an era where action met emotion. His chemistry with Hema Malini both on and off screen remains one of Bollywood’s most iconic love stories.

Dharmendra’s first triumph in the entertainment world was through a talent hunt organized by Filmfare. This encouraged him to relocate to Mumbai to try his hand in films as a lead actor.

Dharmendra got his first big break in Arjun Hingorani’s Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960). But his first big hit came in the form of Shola Aur Shabnam (1961). He followed it up with Anpadh (1962) and Bimal Roy’s classic Bandini (1963). From here onwards, he went on to deliver timeless classics, including Haqeeqat, Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Satyakam, Anupama, Dharam Veer, and The Burning Train, each performance showcasing a different facet of his craft.

Beyond his stardom, he was admired for his humility, warmth, and poetic soul. He is survived by his wife Hema Malini, sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, daughters Esha and Ahana Deol, and grandchildren.

As tributes pour in from across the industry, the loss of Dharmendra marks the end of a golden chapter in Indian cinema. Team Bollywood Hungama extends heartfelt condolences to the Deol family. His legacy will continue to shine through every frame of Indian film history.

EXCLUSIVE: Dhurandhar makers opt for a low-key promotion strategy; Ranveer Singh to keep a low profile before release

Posted by on PP in

The much-awaited trailer of Dhurandhar was launched in a grand event held at Mumbai’s iconic Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. The event was graced not just by the film’s team and members of the media but also by nearly 2000 fans of lead actor Ranveer Singh. This has led to expectations among his admirers that Ranveer and others in the star cast, namely R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, will come out again for promotions in the days to come. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that it’s not going to happen and there’s a solid reason behind this decision.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers of the film, Jio Studios and B62 Studios, have decided to opt for a low-key promotional strategy. This means that Ranveer Singh would avoid appearances on TV shows. He won’t be going for any more big-scale events or promotional city tours and interviews either.”

The source continued, “Ranveer Singh agreed with this decision and he wanted the same strategy as well. He had become overexposed during Cirkus (2022) and a few of his previous films. Hence, he wants to avoid that mistake and let the work do the talking. Thankfully, the film is quite garam – the teaser got viewers excited and the trailer has further enhanced the hype. After the release, they might decide to open up to the media.”

An industry insider commented, “Sometimes, less is more. In recent times, we saw the no-promotional decision worked wonders for Saiyaara. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat makers, too, remained absent from promotions and spoke about the film and went on a roadshow only after the film’s release. When you have the backing of impactful assets, this promotional tactic can work wonders.”

Dhurandhar also stars Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna. It releases in cinemas on December 5.

Blast from the past

In January 2023, trade veteran Taran Adarsh, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, decoded what was going wrong with Ranveer Singh as far as his box office pull was concerned and why his contemporary Ranbir Kapoor was a bigger draw at the box office. He told Bollywood Hungama, “Ranbir Kapoor ki strategy ko main daad dena chahoonga. He is one actor who is not overexposed. Agar aap dekhenge toh har actor aaj ki tareekh mein apne airport looks de raha hai, ya release ke baad social media pe zinda rehne ki koshish karta hai. Lekin inhonein Brahmastra (2022) ke baad koi public outing mein zyada nazar nahin aate…This is what I like about Ranbir Kapoor and which is lacking in Ranveer Singh.”

He continued, “Ranveer Singh ko aap har doosre din dekh rahe hain kisi ad mein, kisi photo session mein, alag-alag events mein jaa rahe hain. And then unki film aati hai and there is no excitement left. 70s and 80s ke actors ne apne kaam ko kahaa ki woh baat karega. Aaj ki tareekh mein aap itna overexpose ho gaye hain ki you are going wrong drastically. I think you need to cut down on your public appearances. That’s a big takeaway from 2022.”

EXCLUSIVE: Ahmed Khan shares EXCITING updates: “Welcome To The Jungle expected to release in mid-2026; Baap is a post-production-HEAVY film and has full RETRO vibes…all 4 actors are playing COOL characters”

Posted by on PP in

Ahmed Khan is on a roll. His upcoming comic caper, Welcome To The Jungle, is shaping up well and his production, Baap, will also release soon since the shoot has been wrapped up. And that’s not all. Rangeela (1995), the film that made him a force to reckon with, will re-release in cinemas on November 28. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ahmed Khan spoke in detail about Rangeela and then also opened up about his upcoming projects.

When asked about Welcome To The Jungle, Ahmed Khan said, “We recently shot the film in Mumbai and Dubai as well. It was a long, 12-day schedule. In December, we will wrap up the climax.”

When will Welcome To The Jungle be out in cinemas? He replied, “It will be released in mid-2026.”

Welcome To The Jungle is produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwallah stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Johny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharib Hashmi, Inaamulhaq, Zakir Hussain, Yashpal Sharma, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani and child actor Vrihi Kodvara.

Baap, meanwhile, stars Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, and Jackie Shroff and is directed by Vivek Singh Chauhan. The film has been delayed quite a bit and Ahmed Khan explained, “Its post-production is going on. It’s a very post-production-heavy film. That only took 9 months. It also has too much action. I left it on Zee Studios as they are the studio partners. They’ll soon announce the release date. Hum unko bol bol ke thak gaye ‘Film kab theatre mein daal rahe hai’ (laughs)!”

When asked if Baap would release in cinemas after Sunny Deol’s highly awaited Border 2, he replied in the affirmative and said, “All four actors are playing cool characters. It’s the first time you’ll see all of them together. It has full retro vibes.”

Remembering Saroj Khan

November 22 was the birth anniversary of Saroj Khan, who was Ahmed Khan’s guru. The choreographer-filmmaker remembered her and said, “She’s engraved in my heart. You can’t forget certain people. Woh aapke rehnuma hote hai. Rasste sab ko dikthe hai; lekin uspe chalna kaise hai, woh seekhna bahut zaroori hai. That’s when you need certain people to guide you and Saroj ji was one of them for me. Even today, when I am stuck, I shut my eyes and think of her. I ask myself, ‘What would Saroj ji have done in this situation?’. Instantly, I get my answer somehow. I have been blessed to work with her.”

He also credited his Rangeela director and others, “Similarly, I was lucky to work with Ram Gopal Varma too. I learned cinematography from Ashok Mehta; I had assisted him as well. And I also worked with Mukul Anand.”

When asked if Ahmed ever worked on Mukul Anand’s Agneepath (1990) or some other film, he revealed, “I worked with him in ads made by MAD Films. I later worked on his film Trimurti (1995). It was the film in which I worked with Saroj Khan, Ashok Mehta and Mukul Anand…the three greats! Also, as a child, I learned from the man himself, Shekhar Kapur. So, I am fortunate to have worked with the legends.”

EXCLUSIVE: Trailer of Kapil Sharma-starrer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 to be launched in a GRAND event on November 26

Posted by on PP in

10 years ago, Kapil Sharma made a rocking debut in Hindi films with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015). It surprised the trade and industry as it opened in double digits, at Rs. 10.15 crores. As a result, expectations are tremendous for its second part, titled Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the trailer will be launched in 2 days from now.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The theatrical trailer of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 will be unveiled on Wednesday, November 26, at a grand event in Mumbai. It will be graced by lead actor Kapil Sharma, Manjot Singh and his four heroines, namely, Warina Hussain, Ayesha Khan, Tridha Choudhury and Parul Gulati. Director Anukalp Goswami and producers Ratan Jain, Ganesh Jain and Abbas-Mustan are also expected to be present.”

The source further said, “The makers are happy with the way Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 has shaped up and are excited to launch the trailer in a big way. Hence, they have decided to go all out for the event. Moreover, Kapil’s presence is bound to add to the fun as he’s known for his quick-witted humour.”

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 releases in cinemas on December 12, 2025. The source said, “Star Studio18 has backed the film and they will also be releasing it in cinemas. The film is going to get a solo release and the team is already working to ensure that the comic caper gets the correct release nationwide, especially in the mass centres, where the first part did extremely well.”

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’s first part told the story of a man who reluctantly gets married thrice. How he manages his three wives, ensuring that they don’t find out the truth, while also dealing with his girlfriend, formed the crux of the film. The sequel is expected to be on the same lines and this time, the laughter quotient is expected to be more, according to the insiders.

SCOOP: Salman Khan considering reclaiming his traditional Eid slot with Battle Of Galwan; might clash with Toxic and Dhamaal 4

Posted by on PP in

Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront in delivering exciting and exclusive news about Battle Of Galwan, one of the most-awaited films of 2026. It stars Salman Khan in a never-before-seen avatar, as evident from the first look of the film. The film’s shoot is about to get over and the makers have still not announced the release date of the film. Earlier this month, we reported that the makers are considering releasing the film in June. But now, Bollywood Hungama has learned that Salman Khan is also eyeing the Ramzan Eid holiday.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “It’s common knowledge that Salman Khan and Eid are synonymous with each other. Earlier, Salman Khan decided not to bring Battle Of Galwan on Eid, that is, March 19, 2026, as the slot was already taken by Toxic, starring KGF star Yash and the multi-starrer Dhamaal 4. But now, the superstar is toying with the idea and considering if his war film can arrive on the holy festival.”

The source further said, “The shoot would be wrapped up in December and hence, Battle Of Galwan will be ready by March. Moreover, his fans will be overjoyed if the film is announced as an Eid release. Hence, Eid is a date that he’s seriously considering and he plans to take a call on the same soon.”

It now remains to be seen whether Salman Khan announces Battle Of Galwan’s release date on his much-awaited 60th birthday next month or before the landmark occasion. It also remains to be seen whether Toxic or Dhamaal 4 will make way once the superstar decides to reclaim his traditional Eid release date.

If Battle Of Galwan does release on March 19 next year, it’ll be Salman Khan’s 17th Eid release, the other 16 being Judwaa (1997), Kyon Ki (2005), Jaan-E-Mann (2006), Wanted (2009), Dabangg (2010), Bodyguard (2011), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Kick (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Sultan (2016), Tubelight (2017), Race 3 (2018), Tubelight (2017), Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai (2021), Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) and Sikandar (2025).

Prabhas–Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit begins filming; muhurat held in Hyderabad with Chiranjeevi as the chief guest

Posted by on PP in

Spirit, starring Prabhas and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, officially went on floors today, November 23. The team conducted a muhurat ceremony to mark the beginning of the shoot, attended by Triptii Dimri, producer Bhushan Kumar, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Shiv Chanana and megastar Chiranjeevi, who joined as the chief guest. Although Prabhas was present for the puja, he was not seen in the photos shared by the production team.

The film marks Vanga’s first collaboration with Prabhas, and anticipation has been steadily building since October, when the director released a special birthday surprise for the actor. On October 24, Vanga unveiled what he described as a “Sound Story,” an audio-led teaser that sets the tone for Spirit.

The teaser opens with a prison backdrop, introducing a tense exchange between a jailer and his team as they prepare to handle a former police officer-turned-prisoner. The most discussed moment arrives when Prabhas’s voice is heard saying, “Sir, since childhood I have one bad habit,” hinting at the character’s intense personality.

Produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, Spirit is positioned as a large-scale pan-world action drama with Prabhas playing a fierce and uncompromising cop. Triptii Dimri joins him in a key role, adding to the film’s growing buzz.

The “Sound Story,” released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, has already generated significant online engagement. By unveiling the teaser on Prabhas’s birthday, the makers offered fans an early glimpse into what Sandeep Reddy Vanga describes as one of the most ambitious projects of his career.

With filming now underway, Spirit moves into its next phase of production, and further details are expected in the coming months.

EXCLUSIVE: After Naagzilla, Mahaveer Jain & Mrighdeep Singh Lamba eye birthday boy Kartik Aaryan for Munna Bhai-style high-concept comedy

Posted by on PP in

One of the most popular actors of our times, Kartik Aaryan, celebrates his birthday today. He rocked the show in 2024 with the blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, due to which his upcoming films are keenly awaited. He’ll end 2025 with a bang with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Ananya Panday. 2026 will see him in Anurag Basu’s passionate love story, co-starring Sreeleela, followed by Naagzilla. The latter is backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain’s Mahaveer Jain Films (with Mrighdeep Singh Lamba as a partner). The fantasy comedy features Kartik as a shape-shifting naag and Bollywood Hungama has learned that if all goes well, Kartik will be doing one more film with Mahaveer Jain and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Mahaveer Jain and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba intend to do one more film with Kartik. Just like Naagzilla, even this other film will be novel; it is a high-concept comedy like Munna Bhai MBBS. Both producers feel that a fine performer like Kartik will be fit to headline their upcoming film.”

The source continued, “Both Mahaveer Jain and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba are having the best time working with Kartik Aaryan on Naagzilla. They are quite fond of Kartik, his sweet and jovial nature and work ethic. Hence, they want to work with him again and this is what motivated them to approach Kartik for their upcoming project.”

Mahaveer Jain has collaborated on notable projects like Uunchai (2022) with Rajshri Productions, international thriller White with Siddharth Anand and Vikrant Massey as Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari, and a spiritual action thriller, starring Tiger Shroff, and directed by Ram Madhvani of Neerja (2016) fame.

Shraddha Kapoor injures herself during Lavani shoot for Eetha, production temporarily halted: Report

Posted by on PP in

The shoot of Shraddha Kapoor’s upcoming biographical drama Eetha has been put on hold after the actress sustained an injury while filming a demanding Lavani sequence. According to a report in Mid-Day, the incident occurred during an intense dance performance designed to reflect the powerful stage presence of folk legend Vithabai Narayangaonkar, whom Kapoor portrays in the film.

The report quoted a source explaining that the choreography required Kapoor to perform a series of rapid, consecutive steps set to Ajay–Atul’s high-tempo composition. “Lavani music characteristically has fast-paced beats and a quick tempo. In this number, Shraddha — sporting a vibrant Nauvari saree, heavy jewellery, and a kamarpatta — had to perform multiple steps in succession to the beats of the dholki,” the source said.

To authentically embody a young Vithabai, Kapoor had also gained over 15 kilos for the role. The source shared that during one step, she unintentionally transferred her weight onto her left foot, lost her balance and injured herself.

Director Laxman Utekar immediately suspended the Nashik schedule. However, Kapoor, hoping the lost days could still be utilised, suggested reworking the plan to accommodate close-up scenes. The team then shifted to a set in Madh Island, where she filmed emotional portions for a few days. But as the pain intensified, the production was forced to halt again. The unit is now expected to regroup after two weeks, once Kapoor has fully recovered.

A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that Randeep Hooda has been cast as the male lead in Eetha. Sources indicate that the next phase of shooting is slated to begin later this month in Mumbai. “Randeep plays the romantic lead opposite Shraddha. The makers are confident about the casting, as both bring depth and versatility that align perfectly with Laxman Utekar’s vision,” a source revealed.

Eetha traces the remarkable life and artistic legacy of Vithabai Narayangaonkar, one of Maharashtra’s most celebrated folk performers. Known for her commanding performances and dedication to preserving Lavani and Tamasha, Vithabai played a crucial role in shaping the cultural identity of the region. Over her illustrious career, she was honoured with two President’s Awards, and her contribution continues to inspire generations of artists.

After Orry, Siddhanth Kapoor summoned by ANC in ongoing Rs 252-crores drug probe

Posted by on PP in

Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor's brother, Siddhanth Kapoor, has been summoned by the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of the Mumbai Police in connection with the Rs 252 crores MD drugs case. Siddhanth is scheduled to record his statement at the Ghatkopar ANC unit on November 25.

Alongside Siddhanth, social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has also been summoned to appear at the ANC Ghatkopar unit on November 26 for recording his statement related to the case. This development signifies the ongoing investigation into a major drug racket.

Siddhanth Kapoor’s legal troubles in connection with drug consumption are not new. In 2022, he was arrested but later released on station bail after medical tests confirmed drug use. Bengaluru Police had detained him earlier for allegedly consuming drugs at a party in the city.

Meanwhile, Orry was among several individuals named in an FIR filed on March 15, 2025, by Katra police for consuming alcohol at a hotel in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir—an act prohibited in that religious location. The Jammu and Kashmir Police issued a press statement emphasizing strict action against such violations at divine places, ordered by SSP Reasi Paramvir Singh. Police officers from Katra were instructed to track down and take action against those involved, upholding zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol at religious sites.

Karan Johar’s birthday gift for Kartik Aaryan, turns Naagzilla into a franchise: “Kartik will be the only constant in the series”

Posted by on PP in

Kartik Aaryan’s career is moving in unexpected and very exciting ways. And the best is yet to come. He now plays an ichhaadhaari naag—a snake that can assume any form, including human – in Naagzilla: Naag Lok Ka Pehla Kaand.

These days Kartik, who turns 35 on November 22, spends a lot of time watching Reena Roy in Rajkumar Kohli’s Nagin where she played an ichhaadhari nagin, the female counterpart of what Kartik plays. A meeting with the veteran actress Reena Roy is also being planned.

Karan Johar, the master planner that he is, intends to extend Kartik Aaryan’s Naagzilla avatar into a full-fledged franchise.

“As soon as the first Naagzilla film is launched, the pre-production for the next film in the series will start. Kartik will be the only constant in the series. The rest of the cast and crew will change in every instalment,” a source close to the development informed.

Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan have signed a multi-film deal. On 25 December, 2025, Karan-Kartik’s romcom Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri will release, followed by Naagzilla on August 14, 2026. The next Kartik-Karan project will be announced shortly.

Sanjeeda Shaikh joins Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna in Netflix’s action thriller Ikka

Posted by on PP in

Actress Sanjeeda Shaikh has been roped in to join Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna for the much-awaited Netflix action thriller Ikka. Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, renowned for helming films like We Are Family, Hichki, and Maharaj, this project marks a notable addition to her growing filmography and promises to be one of the year’s most exciting OTT releases.​

Ikka stands out as an original script in the OTT landscape, with both Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna leading in parallel roles—a pairing that reunites the actors 28 years after their iconic collaboration in Border (1997). Early speculations suggested the film was a remake of the Hollywood vigilante thriller Death Sentence. However, later reports suggested that both Deol and Malhotra vetoed the idea, opting instead for a fresh, unconventional story. Netflix has been quick to invest in this large-scale actioner, tapping into star power while promising new-age storytelling.

Sanjeeda Shaikh joins the cast at a moment when both her co-stars are capturing headlines for their work and personal lives. Sunny Deol, last seen in the theatrical release Jaat, is also preparing for Border 2 and Lahore 1947, while currently spending time with his father Dharmendra, after a recent health scare.

Meanwhile, Akshaye Khanna, whose last film was Chhaava where he played Aurangzeb, is set to return to the big screen in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, set for a December 5, 2025 release, alongside Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal; he also has Mahakali lined up in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe.​

Sanjeeda’s own work front remains impressive, with her latest project, Heeramandi, having been released on Netflix in 2024 to positive reception.

Karisma Kapoor renews Rs 66 lakhs Bandra apartment lease amid battle over Sunjay Kapur’s Rs 30,000-crores estate: Report

Posted by on PP in

Karisma Kapoor has made headlines once again, this time for a major personal move amid an ongoing legal dispute over her late ex-husband Sunjay Kapur's colossal estate. The actress, whose children Samaira Kapur and Kiaan Raj Kapur are currently embroiled in a legal battle with Sunjay Kapur’s widow, Priya Sachdev Kapur, has reportedly renewed the lease on her luxury Bandra West apartment. According to documents reviewed by Square Yards, Karisma has signed a new one-year agreement for her swanky residence in the Grand Bay Condominium on Hill Road, Bandra West, with the total lease value pegged at Rs 66.12 lakhs.

This premium apartment spans a generous 2,200 sq ft and includes three dedicated car parking spaces, further underlining its exclusive appeal. The renewed lease was registered on November 14, 2025, and required a stamp duty payment of Rs 17,100 along with registration charges of Rs 1,000. A security deposit of Rs 20 lakhs has been included in the agreement, while the monthly rent is set at Rs 5.51 lakhs for the duration of the one-year term, totaling Rs 66.12 lakhs for the full period. The space continues to be rented out to Kongsberg Maritime India Pvt Ltd, the same company that has held the lease previously. Under the earlier agreement, signed in November 2023, the monthly rent amounted to Rs 5 lakhs for the first year and Rs 5.25 lakhs for the second, reaching Rs 1.23 crore across two years.

This property update comes at a time when Karisma’s family finds itself at a pivotal juncture in the continuing estate dispute. Recent courtroom developments saw Karisma’s legal team claim that Samaira’s university fees remained unpaid due to lack of clearance by the estate’s managers. However, this assertion was vigorously challenged in court by Priya Sachdev Kapur, who presented receipts showing the fees had indeed been paid — Rs 95 lakhs per semester — with the next instalment only due in December, as confirmed by her lawyer Sheyl Trehan.

The central issue, however, remains the contested will of Sunjay Kapur. Karisma’s children have alleged that their stepmother Priya forged or altered the will to exclude them from Sunjay’s estimated Rs 30,000-crores estate. Priya Kapur’s legal counsel, led by senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, has dismissed these claims outright, arguing in court that it is common for a husband to leave all his assets to his wife, referencing family tradition as precedent.

Sunjay Kapur, an eminent industrialist, passed away in London this past June following a polo match, a tragedy that has since sparked a high-profile legal battle between his widow and children. Both parties continue to present evidence, receipts, and arguments to the Delhi High Court as the case unfolds.

Priya Sachdev's defence still cannot explain errors in Sunjay Kapur’s will as Delhi HC flags contradictions again

Posted by on PP in

The dispute over the alleged Will of late industrialist Sunjay Kapur intensified in the Delhi High Court on November 21, as Priya Kapur’s legal team faced renewed scrutiny over errors, missing procedures and unresolved contradictions.

For the second consecutive day, the bench pressed the defence on why the document contains basic factual mistakes—such as misspelled names, wrong genders, incorrect addresses, selective listing of beneficiaries, and notably, no inventory of assets. Priya’s counsel repeated earlier explanations but failed to provide any new reasoning, supporting material, or proof that Sunjay had ever seen, reviewed or approved the Will.

The case follows Thursday’s hearing where senior advocate Rajiv Nayar had attempted to defend the inaccuracies through the “template theory”—suggesting the Will borrowed sections from the Will of Sunjay’s mother, Rani Kapur. The court questioned why a billionaire would depend on his mother’s Will as a template and yet overlook fundamental facts about his own children, assets and even his gender.

Friday’s proceedings deepened the inconsistencies. The defence was unable to explain why Rani Kapur’s Will was notarised and procedurally sound, while Sunjay’s, involving significantly larger assets, was neither notarised nor registered. No emails, messages, notes or instructions from Sunjay referencing the document have been produced. The digital trail continues to indicate that the file originated from a device with no link to the late industrialist.

Another point of concern was the defence’s attempt to merge two unrelated matters: the children’s expenses under the divorce consent terms and the claimed Rs 2,000 crore benefit from the RK Family Trust. While Priya’s side suggested these as interchangeable, court records show that payments under the consent terms were mandatory obligations and now rest with the Estate. Despite the claim of massive trust benefits, not a single rupee has reportedly been transferred to the children.

The court also revisited unresolved issues raised on Thursday, including the delayed disclosure of the Will, attempts to secure signatures before sharing it, and the persistence of factual discrepancies. Priya’s counsel was unable to provide satisfactory answers on any of these points.

Across two days of hearings, the pattern highlighted by the bench has remained consistent: the defence has not clarified the document’s errors, cannot establish Sunjay Kapur’s involvement, and continues to conflate routine payments with trust assets.

India and Australia seal three-year film partnership as IFFM leads historic delegation at IFFI 2025

Posted by on PP in

The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) led a significant and diverse Australian screen delegation of screen leaders to the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), which is currently taking place in Panjim, Goa, till 28th November 2025. This marks an important new phase where IFFM is spearheading expanded creative and institutional partnerships between the two nations.

This historic moment was officially recognised on November 21, when IFFM and IFFI signed a Memorandum of Understanding that starts a three-year partnership between the Australian and Indian screen industries.

Three MOUs were signed to shape a new era of Indo-Australian screen collaboration in the presence of Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece and Sanjay Jaju, Secretary, I&B Ministry of India, members of the Indian and Australian film fraternity, and others.

Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece, said. “Australia has one of the biggest Indian diasporas in the world, fuelling the growth of the local Indian film sector. More Australians than ever before are embracing Indian cinema and all its colour, passion and energy. This agreement will strengthen the relationship between India and Melbourne, and create more local jobs, more films and more global exposure in the Indian film industry”.

Mitu Bhowmick Lange, Festival Director of IFFM and Founder of Mind Blowing Films, said, “India and Australia have enjoyed a long and meaningful cultural connection, but what we are witnessing now is a truly transformative moment for our screen industries with this exciting new development. These new partnerships reflect a shared commitment to collaboration, exchange and long-term creative growth. For us at IFFM and Mind Blowing Films, it is incredibly fulfilling to help build pathways that support filmmakers, students, producers and storytellers from both nations. From expanded festival linkages to academic partnerships and increased distribution access, the initiatives announced at IFFI represent the strongest and most holistic framework we have ever established together.

EXCLUSIVE: Ajay Devgn-Sanjay Dutt-Tamannaah Bhatia starrer action-adventure film to release in cinemas on December 4, 2026

Posted by on PP in

Ajay Devgn is a true all-rounder, equally at ease in comedy, romance, thrillers, intense drama and, above all, action. Over the years, he has carved a formidable niche for himself as an action star, which is why one of his upcoming films, tentatively titled Ranger, has become one of the most keenly awaited projects for his fans. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Tamannaah Bhatia, adding further excitement to the package.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The Ajay Devgn-Sanjay Dutt-Tamannaah Bhatia starrer will hit the big screen on December 4, 2026. The makers have locked this date as the film will be fully ready by then. Moreover, it’s a vacant Friday and has historically proved to be lucrative from a box office perspective. Since the film is a complete entertainer, the team felt this date is strategically ideal.”

In the past, Animal (2023) was released in the first week of December, followed by Pushpa 2 (2024) a year later. This year, the Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar will arrive in cinemas on December 5 and it has also generated tremendous buzz.

The source further added, “The entire team is extremely excited about the film. It marks Ajay Devgn’s grand return to hardcore action. And that’s not all. It also pits him against Sanjay Dutt in a full-blown action entertainer for the first time. Meanwhile, Tamannaah Bhatia, too, has a crucial and intriguing role, which will come as a pleasant surprise to the audience.”

The source also clarified, “Ranger is not the final title. It is a working title and the call on what the film would be titled will be taken by the makers in due course.”

The action-adventure flick is directed by Jagan Shakti of Mission Mangal (2019) fame and produced by Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan, Ankur Garg and Anand Pandit.

Nargis Fakhri flaunts multi-crores Rolls-Royce Cullinan, drops hint at Tony Beig’s grand gesture

Posted by on PP in

Actress Nargis Fakhri recently set social media abuzz after unveiling an ultra-luxurious birthday present: a stunning Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV. Fakhri shared a series of breathtaking photos showcasing the deep blue, high-end vehicle, which was dramatically adorned with a massive red velvet bow. The glamorous desert photoshoot, complete with a sunset backdrop, highlighted the vehicle's opulence.

The vehicle, identified as a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, is one of the world's most prestigious SUVs. The base price for the luxury SUV in India starts at around Rs 10.50 crores (Ex-Showroom). However, with the extensive customization options Rolls-Royce owners typically choose, the On-Road Price for a model like the Cullinan can easily range from Rs 12 crores to over Rs 14 crores, depending on the city and bespoke features.

The actress’s caption playfully hinted at the generous giver, fueling further discussion about her personal life: "I’m now wondering what my #2026 birthday gift will be @tb Happy Birthday to Me !  #latepost #RR #RollsRoyce" She also tagged Tony Beig, the US-based businessman and entrepreneur to whom Fakhri has reportedly been married in a private ceremony earlier this year.

The use of the hashtag #latepost confirms that while the photos were recently shared, the grand celebration and the acquisition of the magnificent Cullinan may have taken place some time ago.

Nargis Fakhri, known for her roles in films like Rockstar, continues to make headlines, whether for her lavish lifestyle or her widely reported—yet unconfirmed—marriage to Tony Beig. On the other hand, Nargis is also seen in today's release, Mastiii 4.

Posted by on PP in

For Manish Malhotra, the film marks his first cinematic production under Stage5 Production, celebrating old-school love, poetry and shayris - bringing back the charm of nostalgic ishq. Considering that Gustaakh Ishq marks Malhotra’s debut film as a producer, its premiere at IFFI is a milestone for him and the Indian film industry.

Produced by Manish Malhotra alongside his brother Dinesh Malhotra under Stage5 Production, Vibhu Puri directs Gustaakh Ishq, and it unfolds as a poignant tale of passion and unspoken desire, set amidst the bylanes of Purani Dilli and the fading kothis of Punjab.

Tara Sutaria refers to Veer Pahariya as 'Husband' in playful birthday video, sparking fan speculations about a possible proposal

Posted by on PP in

Actor-couple Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya’s relationship continues to captivate fans. From exotic vacations to red carpet appearances, the duo has been giving major relationship goals ever since they went public with their romance in July this year. However, it was a recent video that grabbed everyone’s attention, in which Tara referred to Veer as her husband.

The video was recorded during Tara’s birthday celebration in the Maldives, where she wore a shimmering golden outfit. The clip also features their close friend Orry, who playfully became part of the banter. In the video, Tara jokingly asked Orry, “Have you been sleeping with my husband?” Orry nonchalantly replied, “Yeah,” glancing at Veer, who was standing behind him. Tara then humorously asked, “How do you sleep at night?” to which Orry answered, “With your husband,” prompting Veer to give a mock denial. The clip ends with Tara laughing at Orry’s audacity.

The comment section of the video was abuzz with fans and celebrities alike, many interpreting Tara’s use of “husband” as a possible hint at a proposal. Tara captioned the video “Ded,” while Veer responded with hiding-eyes emojis. Fans reacted with curiosity, with comments such as, “Husband?” and “What? Did Tara Sutaria get married?” Some even joked about the dynamics between Tara and Jahnvi Kapoor, who is dating Veer’s elder brother, Shikhar Pahariya, writing, “Already imagining Tara and Jahnvi as Jethani-Devrani.”

Tara and Veer’s relationship first came into the spotlight in July this year, when Veer left a flirtatious comment on Tara’s Instagram post. Tara had shared behind-the-scenes photos from her music video ‘Thodi Si Daaru’ with AP Dhillon, captioned, “Tu hi ae chann. Meri raat ae tu.” Veer commented, “My ,” and Tara responded, “Mine,” signaling their mutual affection.

Since then, the couple has become more comfortable expressing their love publicly—blowing flying kisses, holding hands, and appearing together on red carpets. If fan theories are to be believed, an official announcement about the couple might not be far off.

Dining With The Kapoors: Aadar Jain reveals that Ranbir Kapoor taught him "colourful language"; Ranbir analyses his gossip monger side: "Kareena Kapoor and I are like Google. We have the information; you need to search for it!"

Posted by on PP in

A 61-minute-long documentary, Dining With The Kapoors, was released on Netflix on November 21. It was shot around Raj Kapoor’s birth anniversary, in December 2024 and comprises most members of India’s first film family together, that is, Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Randhir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Agastya Nanda, Armaan Jain, Aadar Jain, Raj Kapoor's daughter Rima Jain, Raj Kapoor's granddaughter-in-law Anissa Malhotra Jain, Raj Kapoor's niece Kanchan Desai, Raj Kapoor's nephew Kunal Kapoor, Raj Kapoor's great granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda, Raj Kapoor's son-in-law Manoj Jain, Raj Kapoor's sister-in-law Neila Shammi Kapoor, Raj Kapoor's grandnephew Zahaan Kapoor, Raj Kapoor's nephew Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor and Raj Kapoor's grandniece Shaira Laura Kapoor. Ranbir Kapoor raised a lot of laughs with his quotes and also with what others spoke about him.

Aadar Jain said, “Armaan and I spent a lot of time with Ranbir. We had so many interests, you know. We all played football on the same team. He bought me my first football shoes. He was like that older, cooler brother that we would want to go and meet.”

Ranbir then talked about Aadar Jain and his brother Armaan Jain, “Wrestling was a very big thing at that time. And I used both of them as my guinea pigs; I used to constantly throw them around!”

During the lunch session, Aadar Jain spoke about everyone and what he loves about them. While speaking about Ranbir, he said, “Ranbir bhaiya once said that I should not call him bhaiya anymore. But how can I not? After all, he has taught me so much in life. He taught me the most colourful language in the world, and even made me repeat it in front of his friends! I performed for them. And he never told anyone. No one except Armaan or Riddhima or mom, Kunal mama, Saif, Lolo, Bebo, Bharat bhaiya, Daboo mama, Kanchan aunty, Bunty maasi, Neila aunty, Chintu mama, Neetu mama, the whole world. That's it! He’s the best secret keeper!”

He then spoke about Kareena Kapoor Khan, “The first thing Bebo didi would say when she would meet me is, ‘Kya ho raha hai? What’s happening? What’s up? Come, come, come. Sit, sit, sit. What’s the goss?’ She’s full jasoos!”

He also said, “Mom (Rima Jain) told me that Nana ji (Raj Kapoor) was also the biggest detective in the family. They both clearly got his genes.” Rima confirmed it, “In his cottage, he got every news. Similarly, in Bebo’s and Ranbir’s homes, they get to know everything!”

Neetu Kapoor said, “But they (Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan) never talk about it.” Rima sarcastically replied, “Oh, sure!”

This is when Ranbir Kapoor summed it up perfectly, “We’re like Google. We have the information, but unless you guys won’t search for it, you won’t know!”

Siddhant Chaturvedi, Mrunal Thakur starrer Do Deewane Seher Mein unveils FIRST LOOK in a clutter-breaking announcement

Posted by on PP in

Zee Studios and Bhansali Productions have officially unveiled the first look of their upcoming romantic drama Do Deewane Seher Mein, and the announcement itself has become a talking point. Released through a creatively styled animated video, the reveal stands out for its fresh treatment, pastel-toned visuals and an evocative musical cue that sets the tone for what the makers describe as a modern love story with a touch of old-school warmth.

The film, directed by Ravi Udyawar, pairs Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur — a combination that has already generated curiosity among audiences. While Siddhant continues to explore a varied range of roles, Mrunal brings her characteristic screen presence to the narrative, making their on-screen pairing one of the notable highlights of the project.

Arriving in cinemas on February 20, 2026 — just after Valentine’s week — the film is positioned as a simple and grounded love story. The first-look video emphasises this tone, using soft cityscapes, gentle colours, and an ear-pleasing tune to hint at the film’s atmosphere. Siddhant and Mrunal’s chemistry in the teaser feels natural and easy, offering a glimpse into the relatable world the film aims to portray.

One of the stronger elements of the reveal is its musical theme, which blends contemporary sensibilities with a hint of nostalgia. The track, used throughout the announcement video, signals that music will play an important role in shaping the emotional tone of the film.

Do Deewane Seher Mein is being described as a romance that aims to balance modern storytelling with classic emotional beats — a space that hasn’t been explored extensively in recent theatrical releases. With its distinctive announcement style and early reactions to the first look, the film has already carved out a space of interest ahead of its release.

Produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Prerna Singh, Umesh Kumar Bansal and Bharat Kumar Ranga, in association with Ravi Udyawar Films, Do Deewane Seher Mein will release in theatres on February 20, 2026.

EXCLUSIVE: Saif Ali Khan spotted shooting pivotal portion of Haiwaan in Alibaug

Posted by on PP in

Haiwaan, a taut, edge-of-the-seat thriller from the legendary Priyadarshan, has been making headlines as it brings together two of the greatest actors Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan on the big screen once again after Tashan (2008).

Saif Ali Khan was recently spotted arriving in the seaside town of Alibaug, Maharashtra, on a speedboat, sparking widespread speculation about his shooting schedule for Haiwaan. A source close to the project has now confirmed that Saif’s arrival was indeed for an important filming schedule for the Priyadarshan directorial.

The source said, “There are a few portions we are shooting with Saif in Alibaug. These sequences are crucial in building his character in the film."

Haiwaan is produced by KVN Productions in association with Thespian Films, and jointly produced by Venkat K Narayana and Shailaja Fenn. It will be released in cinemas in 2026.

10 days ago, Bollywood Hungama reported that a crucial scene of Haiwaan was shot in Churchgate and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, both of which are located in South Mumbai. An article in Mid-Day reported that Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan shot a grand action sequence near Churchgate railway station. It was a cat-and-mouse chase sequence and included 30-40 cars and 100 junior artistes. Filming in this location went on for 5 nights and was choreographed by action director Stunt Silva.

The article carried a quote of Priyadarshan that said, “Both Saif and Akshay knew how the

sequence had to be shot and they cooperated, though Akshay is known to sleep early.”

At that time, the master filmmaker had further revealed that besides South Mumbai, they also shot in Bandra Kurla Complex and that he still has 9 days of work left with Saif.

With high-octane chases, meticulously crafted set pieces and the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan under Priyadarshan’s deft direction, Haiwaan is already shaping up as one of 2026’s most keenly awaited big-screen thrill rides.

Delhi HC clears 120 Bahadur for release, dismisses plea on ‘distorted history’

Posted by on PP in

The Delhi High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the release of the upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur, thereby allowing the film to hit theatres on November 21 as scheduled.

The petition, filed by the Sanyukt Ahir Regiment Morcha charity trust, along with the families of soldiers who died in the 1962 Battle of Rezang La, argued that the film “distorts historical facts” and sought to change its name, claiming it erases the collective identity and sacrifice of the Ahir community.

A bench comprising Justices Prathiba M. Singh and Shail Jain refused to delay the release, observing that “it is too late to change the film’s title and release date, or to implement last-minute changes.”  The court also noted that the filmmakers have honoured the 120 soldiers by including their names in the end credits as a “special tribute.”

The bench clarified, “However, since there is some ambiguity as to whether names of all the 120 soldiers have been mentioned or not, it is directed that the film is permitted to be released in theatres as it is on Friday across the country.”

Further, they said the petitioners may watch the theatrical version and, if they find missing or incorrect names, corrective changes should be made during the OTT release. “It is made clear that even for the OTT release, only the names of the soldiers, along with the proper regiment will be mentioned.”

The PIL had challenged the CBFC certification of the film, alleging that it glorifies Major Shaitan Singh (fictionalised as “Bhati”) at the expense of the heroism shown by the predominantly Ahir soldiers in C Company of the 13 Kumaon Regiment.

Ajay Devgn returns for a high-voltage mission in Raid 3: Report

Posted by on PP in

Ajay Devgn is reportedly reuniting with director Rajkumar Gupta for Raid 3, as the third installment of the successful franchise begins to take shape.  According to reports, Gupta has already begun preparation for the film, and filming is expected to begin by the end of 2026.

Though the makers are staying tight-lipped, “the conflict in the 3rd part is bigger than the earlier 2 films. The stakes are much higher, and the raid itself will be designed in a bigger way. Ajay Devgn’s character will face a situation unlike anything seen in the franchise so far.”  Pre-production is scheduled to begin in mid-2026, once Devgn wraps up his current film commitments.

Rajkumar Gupta is closely involved in developing the screenplay to preserve the realistic tone that defines the series.  Devgn is set to reprise his role as a courageous and sharp Income Tax (or IRS) officer in this new chapter, but the scale and complexity of the story are expected to be greater than ever.

Looking back, Raid 2 opened strongly at the box office — it earned ₹19 crore on its opening day and reached ₹49.25 crore in net collections over its first three days in India.  It went on to collect a global total of ₹219 crore during its theatrical run.

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC changes Rose-mary Marlow to Rose-mary Carlow in Mastiii 4; asks for THIS modification in the Aftab Shivdasani-old man sex joke

Posted by on PP in

The sex comedy Mastiii 4 hit cinemas today and has already grabbed eyeballs thanks to its popular franchise and naughty trailer. Even before its release, there was apprehension that the Central Board of Film Certification would insist on multiple cuts. Bollywood Hungama had exclusively revealed two days ago that the board had asked for six dialogues to be altered. We can now share the detailed breakdown of some of these changes.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “One of the lines from the trailer that drew both laughs and criticism was the exchange between Aftab Shivdasani and an elderly patient. The old man tells Aftab, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath sex karna hai’. When a worried Aftab warns, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, the patient quips, ‘Marti hai toh mar jaaye saali’. In the theatrical version, this entire bit has been toned down. In the film, the patient now says, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath masti karni hai’. Aftab still cautions, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, to which the patient replies, ‘Main marne ke liye tayyar hoon’.”

The source continued, “That is not all. The three women with whom the trio have an affair in Grand Masti (2013) are named Rose, Mary and Marlow. Read together, their names form a cheeky double meaning in Hindi. In Mastiii 4, a glamorous character is introduced as Rose-mary Marlow. Her name has now been changed to Rose-mary Carlow. It is surprising that the censors had no issue with the gag in the second film, released 12 years ago, but have objected to it this time.”

Directed by Milap Zaveri, Mastiii 4 stars Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani, who have always featured in the previous parts of the franchise as well – Masti (2004), Grand Masti and Great Grand Masti (2016). This time, they are joined by Ruhii Singh, Shreya Sharma, Elnaaz Norouzi, Natalia Janoszek, Shaad Randhawa and Nishant Singh Malkani, along with Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri.

Priya Sachdev's defence struggles as Delhi High Court flags MAJOR gaps in Sunjay Kapur will case

Posted by on PP in

The dispute over late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s inheritance took a sharper turn in the Delhi High Court on Thursday, as the bench questioned the credibility of the Will presented by his widow Priya Kapur. Senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya, attempted to defend the document, but the court raised repeated concerns about inconsistencies, drafting errors and the absence of proof linking Sunjay to the Will.

‘Template’ Explanation Draws More Doubts Nayar argued that errors in the Will — such as referring to Sunjay as “testatrix,” misspelled names, and incorrect pronouns — were copied from a “template” based on Sunjay’s mother Rani Kapur’s Will. However, the bench pressed him on why a billionaire with vast assets would adopt an old template without correcting basic information about his own life and family.

The explanation also highlighted what the Will leaves out:

no inventory of Sunjay’s major assets no mention of his first two children, Samaira and Kiaan only Priya and her children, Safira and Azarius, named as beneficiaries

Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani argued that this selective inclusion makes the Will “a manufactured document tailored to benefit one side.” Misspelled Son’s Name Raises Red Flags Nayar's justification for the misspelling of Azarius (“Azarias”) — that it came from Rani’s Will — raised further questions. Critics asked why parents would rely on a mother-in-law’s testamentary document to spell their own child’s name.

Sunjay’s sister Mandhira Kapur echoed these concerns publicly, saying, “My brother was a particular human being. He can’t misspell his son’s name. These are giveaways.” Procedural Gaps: Notarisation Missing Another key point raised was the lack of notarisation. Rani Kapur’s Will — the alleged template — was notarised, but the Will produced for Sunjay was neither notarised nor registered, despite involving a far larger estate.

Nayar claimed that Nitin Sharma drafted the Will, but his name appears in neither Priya’s Written Statement nor Nitin’s own affidavit, adding to doubts about authenticity. No Proof of Sunjay’s Involvement The court noted that the defence has not produced a single document showing Sunjay reviewed or approved the Will. There is no email, message, instruction, or annotation linking Sunjay to the drafting process.

While Sunjay’s name appears in the notary register for past documents — indicating he understood formal procedures — no such steps were taken for this Will. The bench also clarified that a WhatsApp screenshot cannot be treated as proof of affirmation. Legal Precedent Cited by Defence Under Supreme Court Review The defence invoked the Sanjay Kalra judgment, but the court observed that the case was decided after a full trial — unlike the interim stage here — and is currently under review by the Supreme Court.

Jethmalani argued that the issues in the Kapur Will go well beyond minor mistakes and directly concern the question of who actually authored the document. Forensic Concerns Add Pressure The plaintiffs have pointed to forensic analysis suggesting the Will originated on a device not linked to Sunjay. Nayar’s explanation that the document was saved by employee Nitin Sharma does not address the absence of any digital trail connecting Sunjay to the Will.

With the matter returning to court on Friday, Priya Kapur’s legal team faces growing pressure to address not just typographical issues but the broader question of whether the Will was created — or approved — by Sunjay Kapur at all.

Mumbai will come together on November 22 to honour the heroes of 26/11 terror attacks and the families of the victims of the Pahalgam attacks at Global Peace Honours 2025, an initiative by the Divyaj Foundation under the leadership of Amruta Fadnavis.

For Mrs Fadnavis, the event has a clear purpose: to ensure the courage and sacrifice of India’s martyrs are remembered with the respect they deserve. Her vision behind Global Peace Honours is to give their families a space of recognition and gratitude, and to remind the nation of the values these heroes stood for. The event at the Gateway of India celebrates the nation’s spirit of courage, unity and resilience.

Speaking about the initiative, Amruta Fadnavis said, “This evening is not just about remembrance, it’s about gratitude. The heroes who fought for our nation showed us what courage looks like. Global Peace Honours is our way of saying their legacy lives on.”

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is expected to take part in a special tribute segment dedicated to India’s bravehearts, a moment expected to be one of the most powerful highlights of the evening.

Vikrant Massey will host the ceremony, while Tiger Shroff will dedicate a performance in honour of the martyrs. Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar and several other high-profile personalities will also attend, joining citizens and dignitaries in paying homage to those who laid down their lives protecting the nation.

The awards presented during the evening are crafted to acknowledge acts of extraordinary courage and selfless service. There will be two special felicitations for Global Peace Honours, National Valour and Leadership Honour given to people whose contributions have made a huge impact.

The Gateway of India, which once stood as a silent witness to the 26/11 tragedy, will turn into a beacon of hope as hundreds of lanterns light up the Mumbai skyline in collective remembrance.

Bhuvan Bam wraps The Revolutionaries; Rohit Saraf calls the journey “exhilarating” as the team completes a transformative 75-day shoot

Posted by on PP in

Bhuvan Bam has officially completed filming for The Revolutionaries, marking an important milestone in his growing career. Sharing the update on social media, he summed up the experience in a simple but loaded line: “What. A. Year. 75 days of madness, emotion and unforgettable learning.”

The actor expressed deep gratitude towards director Nikkhil Advani, whom he referred to as his “gurudev.” For Bhuvan, the project was more than a professional assignment—it was, as he put it, a blessing. Signing off his post, he teased what’s next: “Can’t wait for you to watch what we’ve been cooking. See you in 2026.”

Bhuvan’s wrap signals not just the end of a schedule but the start of a more grounded phase in his creative journey—one centred on craft, discipline, and character. He has also signed a new film with Dharma Productions, though details remain tightly guarded.

Meanwhile, his co-star Rohit Saraf also marked the wrap with an emotional note. Reflecting on the past year, he wrote, “The last year has been an exhilarating stretch…one that’s quietly reshaped who I thought I was. When I look back at the past fourteen months, the growth feels real. My body feels different. My mind feels steadier and the heart feels tougher.”

Rohit acknowledged the physical and emotional toll of the shoot but said the creative fulfilment made it worthwhile. Highlighting Nikkhil Advani’s leadership, he added: “It was one man’s vision that kept this entire team moving with conviction. @nikkhiladvani the true leader of this revolution… Thank you sir, I’ve enjoyed trusting you.”

As he looks ahead to the release, Rohit admitted that waiting will be the hardest part now: “I genuinely cannot wait for you to see what this spectacle will look like on screen… someone hit fast forward NOW!!!”

EXCLUSIVE: Vijay Sethupathi storms into The Family Man Season 3 with Farzi crossover cameo

Posted by on PP in

In the last 9 years, several web series have dropped digitally and only a handful of them have truly created a cult following. The Family Man, starring Manoj Bajpayee, is surely one of them. Its first season premiered on September 20, 2019, on Amazon Prime Video with minimal expectations. But in no time, it caught on and became a sensation. Season 2 dropped on July 4, 2021, and it also got the same amount of love as its predecessor. The Family Man Season 3 will release on Amazon Prime Video tomorrow, November 21, and it is expected to emerge as one of the most watched shows of the year, if not the most watched show. And Bollywood Hungama has learned that it also has an interesting surprise for the fans.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Vijay Sethupathi has a special appearance in the third season. He’ll reprise the role of Michael Vedanayagam from the much-loved show Farzi (2023). He only appears for a few minutes, but it's highly entertaining and is also very crucial to the plot. Moreover, his chemistry with the protagonist, Srikant Tiwari (Manoj Bajpayee), will be lapped up.”

Just like The Family Man, Farzi is also directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK aka Raj-DK; further, both shows also premiered on Amazon Prime Video. Interestingly, Raj-DK established the crossover of both shows with Farzi. It featured Chellam Sir (Uday Mahesh), the iconic character from The Family Man Season 2. That’s not all. Farzi also featured a voiceover by Srikant Tiwari. Many fans expected Michael to return only as a voiceover in Season 3, but the makers have instead brought him in as a character, a move that’s bound to delight viewers.

Crossovers are common in Indian cinema, but in the digital space, The Family Man x Farzi remains the lone, standout example. With Vijay Sethupathi now stepping into Srikant Tiwari’s world, the Raj and DK spy universe is poised to grow bigger and crazier in the coming years.

Apart from bagging Yash Raj Films’ action flick, Aaishvary Thackeray also composes music for Alpha for the same banner

Posted by on PP in

The Nishanchi actor Aaishvary Thackeray is not only playing one of the leads in Yash Raj’s film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, he is also doing the music in Yash Raj films’ next release Alpha featuring Alia Bhatt.

Apparently, Aditya Chopra spotted Aaishvary’s music talent long before the young actor’s acting skills became apparent in Anurag Kashyap’s film.

Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray’s grandson and Smita Thackeray’s son, Aaishvary Thackeray, who got rave reviews for his debut in a double role in Anurag Kashyap’s Nishanchi, is on to bigger things.

Aaishvary has just been signed on to play the other lead in Yash Raj’s Film’s untitled action film being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar featuring the Saiyaara superstar Ahaan Pandey in the lead.

The Nishanchi actor plays the other lead. He was convinced to do the role by Aditya Chopra himself.

“The boy (Aaishvary Thackeray) was not sure his presence would be justified in a film which already had the Saaiyara star in it. But Adi convinced Aaishvary. Adi has taken Aaishvary under his wings,” said a source.

Commenting on Aaishvary Thackeray’s rapid progression, mentor Anurag Kashyap said, “He is a good boy. Very quiet otherwise. Rarely talks. Adi (Chopra) has been a mentor to him from very early days for music. They never saw him as an actor but now they do. I am happy for him.”

EXCLUSIVE: Hindi dubbed version of HIGHEST Gujarati grosser Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate expected to release in cinemas on November 28

Posted by on PP in

The miraculous Gujarati blockbuster, Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate, is showing no signs of slowing down. The film collected around Rs. 46.47 crores at the end of the fifth week, that is, Thursday, November 13. In its sixth week, it continues to hold strongly and has gone past the lifetime collections of Chaal Jeevi Laiye, the highest Gujarati grosser. As the film now marches towards the Rs. 75 crores mark, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the makers of Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate have begun the process of dubbing the film in Hindi.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The historic box office success of Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate has made this Gujarati film a nationwide sensation. Though a section of non-Gujarati audience has seen the film already, there’s still a huge segment of the moviegoing audience which is not comfortable reading subtitles. They prefer the dubbed version and it is clear that they want to check out Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate as there’s huge curiosity for it.”

The source continued, “Hence, the makers of Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate have started the dubbing process and it's about to get over. If the censor certificate is secured in time, they plan to release the film next Friday, November 28. A final call will be taken over the weekend with regard to the release date, after which they’ll make the grand announcement of the Hindi version.”

Laalo’s box office journey  Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate, which was released in the dull pre-Diwali period, collected around Rs. 36 lakhs in Week 1 and Rs. 28 lakhs in Week 2. The collections jumped to Rs. 70 lakhs in Week 3 but in Week 4, the demand soared, and it went on to collect Rs. 14 crores. This way, it collected Rs. 15.34 crores approx. in its first four weeks. But in Week 5, it has earned around Rs. 31 crores. Its sixth week collections are expected to be around Rs. 25 crores. In short, the total collections of Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate in its sixth week is approx. Rs. 71 crores.

 Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate will now cross the Rs. 75 crore mark on Saturday, November 22. If it holds well for a couple of weeks, then even a lifetime of Rs. 100 crores can’t be ruled out! It's too early to make any prediction, but with this film, anything is possible.

Boney Kapoor hosts belated birthday gathering at his Bandra home with Javed Akhtar, Shashi Ranjan and more!

Posted by on PP in

Just days after his grand 70th birthday celebration with the entire Kapoor family, producer-actor Boney Kapoor marked the occasion once again — this time in a more relaxed setting with his close circle of friends in Bandra.

A new photo doing the rounds on social media shows Boney hosting a belated birthday get-together at his palatial Bandra residence. The picture features several well-known names from the industry, including overseas distributor Pranav Kapadia, filmmaker Tutu Sharma, producer Ramesh Taurani, Shashi Ranjan, Rajat Rawail, and lyricist-writer Javed Akhtar. The group posed together at what appears to be an intimate evening gathering.

This follow-up celebration comes shortly after Boney Kapoor’s larger family bash, where the Kapoor clan — including Janhvi, Arjun, Anshula, Anil, Sanjay, and Reena Kapoor — came together for an outdoor celebration marked by canopy lights, live music, and a full family turnout. Janhvi’s rumoured boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, was also seen at the earlier event.

While last week’s celebration was all about family bonding, the latest photo highlights Boney’s close friendships within the industry, making it another warm moment for fans to appreciate.
