Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan is currently highly active in her professional life and has a lot on her plate. She has been fully engaged in her work and has been keeping busy with multiple projects. One of the projects she is currently involved in is the dubbing for the movie Luka Chuppi 2. The actress has been constantly occupied with her busy schedule, which includes fulfilling all her professional commitments and shooting for various projects. Prior to this, she had been in Kedarnath, and after returning from there, she has been completely focusing on her work life.

On Thursday night, Sara took to her Instagram Story and shared a picture of herself from the dubbing studio and wrote, “Lovely to be back to Somya.”

Sara will be reportedly seen opposite Vicky Kaushal in Laxman Utekar’s next, Luka Chuppi 2. It is the second film in the franchise after the first one starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon. As per the latest update officially shared by the makers, the film will be released on June 2 this year and they will officially release the title on May 16, which is Vicky Kaushal’s birthday.

There were reports last year about Vicky and Sara playing a married couple in the film, although nothing has been revealed officially by the makers. The makers also haven’t revealed whether the film will be released in theatres or directly on OTT. Bollywood Hungama had reported in last September that the film will be released directly on Netflix and that the makers have sold the film to the streaming giant for Rs. 70 crores. This will be Utekar’s second release on Netflix in a row after Mimi.

Apart from this, the 27-year-old actress was last seen in Gaslight, which was released on Disney+ Hotstar on March 31. She will be next seen in Homi Adajania’s Murder Mubarak in her pipeline. Besides these projects, Sara also has Anurag Basu’s Metro In Dino with Aditya Roy Kapur and Kannan Iyer’s Ae Watan Mere Watan.

Ever since her marriage to her pregnancy, the life of Alia Bhatt has garnered a lot of attention. After being married to Ranbir Kapoor in April 2022, the actress gave birth to their daughter in November 2022. Along with enjoying her motherhood for the six months, the actress has dived into work by completing the impending shoot of her films, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and her Hollywood debut Heart of Stone as well as making her mark with appearances like the recent MET Gala in USA.

Alia Bhatt has been balancing her work-life and personal life just like her husband Ranbir Kapoor. In an interview with Harper Bazaar, she responded to the questions of becoming a mother at the peak of her career, wherein she asserted that no one would have quizzed a man about his decision of becoming a father during the peak of his career. She said, “You would never ask a man a question about whether having a baby at the peak of his career was a brave decision. I’m being asked, ‘Are you willing to cut your pace down because you’re having a family?’ But to me, that’s okay. Maybe after working for 10 years at a certain pace, I felt that, okay, maybe I can cut that down and be a mum.”

She went on to add that her decision of becoming a mother was purely because she felt it was ‘right’ for her. “I feel like it was very much led by love. I’ve always been that person who just does things with love. Whatever decision I make, if it feels right, I’ll do it. But if it doesn’t feel right, you’ll always see me taking 16 steps back. I could be offered the biggest movie, the biggest team, but if it doesn’t feel right, I wouldn’t be able to take that step forward. So [having a baby] was just purely nominated by that. And I don’t even think there was a question. It was just a very happy, natural decision,” she added.

On the Bollywood front, Alia Bhatt will be seen alongside Ranveer Singh in her second Karan Johar directorial Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The actress is also making her big Hollywood debut alongside Hollywood actress Gal Gadot in Heart of Stone.

I'm solving the case. I've played a cop before in Commando. Bhavana Reddy got very popular. Gayatri Bhargav is a very different cop. It's fun to play a cop but differently this time."

The Jiah Khan suicide trial, that recently had its final hearing at the Special CBI Court, seems to have not ended. Jiah’s mother Rabia Khan expressed her disappointment in the verdict of the court after they acquitted Sooraj Pancholi of all charges due to lack of evidence. In a recent statement given to the press by Khan, she continued to not only assert that the case is ‘homicidal’ in nature but also termed the trial as ‘mockery’ of the Indian judicial system.

In a statement given by Rabia Khan, she said, “This case was on the wrong track from the very beginning. All the evidence were pointing to homicidal death. Sooraj Pancholi was accused of the wrong crime to start with. How can it be possible that police accused him of the crime when they had no evidence? All the evidence that I had given to CBI like forensic experts reports that pointed to murder was simply ignored and was never pr”oduced before the honourable court by the prosecution.”

She went on to accuse the prosecution and CBI to be compromised. The entire trial was a mockery of the judiciary system. The court was following a higher court order, pre-trial, the path they predetermined for the trial court to follow to give an acquittal to the accused only to close the case. In long ten years both the agencies of India – the police and CBI did not find one single piece of legally relevant evidence for suicide, it requires convincing evidence of an accused having directly driven the victim to commit suicide immediately before the act, and prove any abetment of suicide allegations against the accused Sooraj Pancholi. The burden of proof was so high, all the parties involved must have known the outcome but none of it made legally or rationally any sense.”

“During the trial it was soon obvious to me that CBI and the prosecution had been compromised, because they never established the actual cause of death. Let me repeat this: The actual cause of Jiah’s death was never established. No evidence were sent for forensic analysis by the court, Instead, the CBI simply used the preliminary finding of the police appointed post-mortem report as the cause of death due to asphyxia,” she continued.

Despite the verdict, Rabia not only continued to accuse Sooraj Pancholi but also called him ‘merciless’ for distributing sweets to the media. “Sooraj was an accused and he lied through his teeth and both the agencies throughout honoured his lies for reasons best known to them,” she accused as she concluded by adding, “The fact that he handed out sweets outside the courtroom illustrates this and sums up his mercilessness. Sooraj will one day have to grapple with the demons that he walks with.”

As per recent reports, the court also observed that the suicide-note submitted by Rabia Khan was also ‘fake’. On the other hand, Rabia Khan, in an earlier statement, has asserted that she would be approaching the High Court to take this case further.

For the unversed, Jiah Khan was found hanging in her Mumbai residence on June 25, 2013. The actress was then reportedly dating Sooraj Pancholi, who is the son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab.

The popular Malayalam star Tovino Thomas, who made way into the hearts of Indian audience as a fun superhero in Minnal Murali is all set to return. The action-comedy released on Netflix but did not have a theatrical release due to restrictions. The superhero film, which established Tovino as a Pan India star, has now become a franchise with a sequel in the making. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Tovino discussed the plans for Minnal Murali 2.

“We will release Minnal Murali 2 only in theaters. After it releases in the theaters, I want Netflix to acquire its OTT rights,” Tovino Thomas told Bollywood Hungama. In the interview, he also recalled how it was challenging for them to promote the superhero comedy due to the COVID guidelines and restrictions. The actor asserted that for the prequel OTT release was the best option for them at that point of time but it would be very different for the upcoming sequel.

“Netflix has played a very big part in Minnal Murali’s promotions. At that point of time, that was the best option we had - to release it in OTT; because we had 50 percent occupancy in theatres and so many restrictions. And the kind of promotions Netflix did that was necessary. And for Malayalam industry, it's not very easy to do such promotions. It will cost moderately big budget movies’ budget to promote a movie like that. So whatever Netflix did was definitely an add on to the content we made. So we are very thankful to Netflix and very thankful to people who worked for that movie,” he continued.

“Having said that, when the second part (Minnal Murali 2) releases, I want it to be released in theaters only,” asserted Tovino.

For the unversed, Minnal Murali was directed by Basil Joseph and it featured Femina George as the leading lady and Guru Somasundaram as the antagonist. Tovino Thomas also won the Best Actor award at SIIMA 2022 for his performance in the popular film.

Especially for the red carpet, a black dress is a classic in all shapes and sizes. Even the most ardent fashionistas, however, might frequently have difficulties with it. Malavika Mohanan, however, is an exception. Although white may be her preferred colour, there is never a right time or place to pass up a magnificent black dress.

We are enjoying how celebrity fashion approach has evolved over time. Every other day, celebrity fashion is updated, ranging from sleek, daily looks to opulent show-stoppers. Malavika Mohanan recently caught our eye with her most recent appearance. Malavika is essentially teaching us how to perfect our style while wearing a lovely black dress. Malavika chose a HmX Mugler black outfit. Her dramatic silhouette was accentuated by her little black dress, which was made of rigidly constructed woven wool with cushioned, exaggerated hips. A front pleat at an angle creates an asymmetric neckline with a softly draped appearance. Back concealed zipper with a hook-and-eye closure and a star-shaped zipper pull. It has wraparound skirt with broad tab and belt loop on one side. Malavika gave the outfit some more punch by wearing black stockings with it.

Even though we adore the clothing, as do all of you, we think her hair and makeup are what really stand out. Her long, damp hair looks amazing, and the little makeup—kohl-rimmed eyes, shimmering copper lids, and bare lips—complemented the outfit perfectly.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Malavika Mohanan will next be seen in Yudhra movie by Excel Entertainment that will also star Sidhanth Chaturvedi in the lead role. We are super excited

An essential piece of ethnic clothing for any Indian wardrobe is a saree. For any festive occasion, the six yards of pure elegance and grace look exquisite. Numerous Bollywood divas who wear stunning sarees for events like wedding celebrations, red carpet award shows, and movie promotions attest to the truth of our assertion. Not an exception is Kriti Sanon. With her ethnic attire and preference for sarees, the actress elevates the bar for style. It is understandable why her love of sarees is the first thing leaned on as she moves through the Adipurush film promoting process.

Yesterday, Kriti Sanon, Prabhas, and Saif Ali Khan's upcoming movie Adipurush held the trailer launch ceremony. Master fashion designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla created a special double-draped saree just for Kriti for the event. The star's white, 24-karat gold, and red-hued saree was inspired by Sita's purity (Kriti plays Sita in Adipurush), and it features elaborate tamba [copper] and gold work. According to Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s post, Kriti's double-drape vintage Kerala cotton saree features a 24-carat gold Khadi block print, and her blouse came decked in tamba [copper] tikki flowers and emeralds. they used pure fabrics for Kriti's saree because it had to depict the 'purity of Sita'. They wrote, "It is about revival, it's about Sita, it's about being classic. The look was all about using pure fabrics because it's about the purity of Sita. Kriti embodied it to perfection!"

They added, “Kriti Sanon is a vision in a double-drape saree featuring a mix of off-white khadi saree with a zardozi border and a vintage Kerala cotton saree with 24-carat gold Khadi block print. The combination of the two sarees with red highlights on the border and the intricate detailing of the mustard Farisha resham blouse with tamba tikki flowers and emeralds.”

Meanwhile, Kriti draped the cotton saree traditionally, letting the pallu fall from the shoulder in a floor-grazing style. She placed a pleated matching saree on the other shoulder and paired the double-drape six yards with a mustard Farisha resham blouse.

Lastly, Kriti accessorised the beauteous outfit with earrings, ornate gold bangles, and statement rings. A centre-parted white-rose gajra-adorned low bun, minimal makeup, and a dainty bindi gave the finishing touch.

Meanwhile, Prabhas and Kriti Sanon's Adipurush will release in June. The film also stars Saif Ali Khan. Apart from Adipurush. Kriti has Ganpath with Tiger Shroff, The crew with Kareena Kapoor and Tabu in pipeline. Kriti will be starring in an untitled film with Shahid Kapoor. The film is set to release in October 2023.

With Baahubali (2015), the trend of releasing South films in Hindi dubbed versions has become commonplace. Several films like Pushpa, RRR, KGF – Chapter 2, Kantara, Rocketry, Karthikeya 2 etc emerged as huge hits in Hindi due to which the trend is here to stay. Interestingly, hardly any Malayalam film has taken the Pan-India route. But things seem to be slowly changing. 2018, which was released on May 5 and is doing roaring business at the box office, will now be released in Hindi on May 12. The film’s actors Tovino Thomas, Asif Ali, Tanvi Ram, director Jude Anthany Joseph and producer Venu Kunnapally made this announcement on May 9 in Mumbai during a post-screening conversation.

Tovino Thomas, while speaking about this aspect, made an emotional appeal. He said, “Have you ever thought how hard it is for us to bring a film to national attention? We work on constrained budgets. We don’t work in extravagant setups. When we are working on a movie, our salary is a very small percentage of the movie’s budget. We don’t work for money. We work with passion.”

Tovino Thomas continued, “We are a small state in the southernmost corner of India. Our pioneers have been making very good movies. Our films, however, release in a very less number of theatres. I wish more distributors came to release Malayalam films. We don’t want them to distribute it for free or out of love for our cinema. Let them watch the film. If they like it and if they give it a proper release, it’ll be great. After releasing it on OTT or after people watch it on Telegram, we often get appreciation but it’s not worth it. It doesn’t do good to any of us. Hence, please understand how hard it is to bring a film to cinemas.”

Tovino then said, “We are trying our best but not many producers will spend a lot of money on promotions. Our film’s budget is less than the promotional budget of the biggest movie in Bollywood. These constraints make us work harder, and smarter. We work overtime and that’s how we are able to create these movies.”

2018, as the name suggests, the thriller is set in the backdrop of the 2018 Kerala Floods. As per reports, it has earned around Rs. 17 crores nett in Kerala with weekday collections being as strong as weekend ones. In U.A.E/G.C.C., 2018 has reportedly earned Rs. 17 crores gross.

In a black statement gown, the actor delivered an ultra-glam red-carpet appearance at the award ceremony.

Reports suggest that the police have ruled it out as a serious threat and has alleged that it was a prank that was being pulled on the star. If reports are to be believed, the alleged suspect had started sending death threats to Salman Khan after reading reports about it on social media. Talking about details of this suspect, reports have it that the police is currently keeping the same under wraps because the process of deporting him to India is underway and it is being said that the student is likely return to his home after the term ends.

Salman Khan, who recently appeared on Aap Ki Adalat, had opened up about the immense security which is being provided to the superstar after he received multiple threatening emails. Khan had said, “There are some threats, which is why the security is there. I am doing whatever I have been asked to do. I have got to be very careful… I go everywhere with full security.” The actor had also gone to elaborate that while the massive security has impacted his lifestyle, he takes ample measures to ensure that it doesn’t inconvenience or trouble to those around him.

After certain theatre owners in Southern parts of India raised their voice and stopped the screening of The Kerala Story, the Chief Minister of West Bengal has decided to speak against the film. Mamata Banerjee has not only called for a ban on the Adah Sharma starrer but she has also accused BJP of featuring ‘distorted stories’. Furthermore, the CM has called out the film for ‘humiliating a certain section of people’.

Mamata Banerjee spoke up about The Kerala Story at the Nabanna state secretariat and compared the film to Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files as she said, “Why (make) ‘The Kashmir Files’? to humiliate one section (of people). What’s this Kerala Story? I am not supporting the CPI-M party, they are working with the BJP. I am talking about the people of Kerala. Instead of me, it was their duty to criticize the movie. I am sorry to say this but I will tell the Kerala CM that it's sad that your party is working with the BJP and it is the BJP which is showing these distorted stories,”

In a statement released from the State Information and Cultural Affairs Department, it has been confirmed that the Chief Minister is looking to ban the film in West Bengal. It has been reasoned in the statement that the film ‘promotes false narratives to defame particular communities’. It also states that the visuals depicted in the film could threaten the law and the order of the state which has pushed them to take this step to maintain the peace and harmony amongst their citizens.

The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, features stories about three women, who belong to a different religion, but are manipulated to convert to Islam and forced to join ISIS. The film released in India on May 5, and later, it is releasing on May 12 in Malayalam.

On May 6, all of us watched history as King Charles III was crowned in Westminster Abbey. The event represents a symbolic union of the state, church, and royal family. The nation throws a huge party for the monarch to mark this historic occasion. To create a spectacle that would go down in history, many entertainers from all over the world descended upon London. Sonam Kapoor, a Bollywood actress, arrived at the event, which was one of the occasion's most welcome shocks.  We were thrilled as she entered the stage for her spoken introduction, but it was not the only thing that had us giddy. We were quite interested to see what she dressed to this historic event because she is a fashionista in the broadest sense. She was spotted donning an elaborate outfit. Sonam Kapoor frequently wears Anamika Khanna and Emilia Wickstead clothing, so choosing them for this momentous occasion was a no-brainer. Of course, it is impossible to wear both at once. Maybe she can? Certainly, if you're Sonam Kapoor, it's feasible!

Together with Emilia Wickstead, Anamika Khanna created a dress that incorporated the latter's silhouette with the former's floral design aesthetic. Sonam Kapoor, who is steeped in tradition, made sure to place India on the map of the world and she definitely did. Even though Sonam Kapoor spends most of her time in London, she is as Indian as can be. The blue, green, and red floral patterns by Anamika Khanna that were cascading down were clearly visible. When Sonam Kapoor comes on stage, it's difficult to look away from her because of the ivory gown with the voluminously sculpted skirt and the attractive bodice. What the indicative memo was is obvious. Sonam Kapoor made care to leave no detail untouched when it came to hair and cosmetics. To prevent the erratic London weather from ruining her big fashion moment, her extravagant gown was complimented with soft browns for the eyes, blush pinks for the cheek and lip, and a flawless even complexion. Her hair was fashioned in soft waves.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonam will be next seen in the remake of a Korean film Blind. The film will directly release on OTT.

This will be Utekar’s second release on Netflix in a row after Mimi.

A source had revealed us back then, “The revenue from the satellite will be over and above this sum of Rs. 70 crores. Laxman Utekar’s last film, Mimi had done wonders for Netflix and even this one is appreciated by those who have seen it. It’s the power of director, content, and producer credibility that has resulted in the film fetching this humongous deal. Dinesh has respected the OTT space by supplying credible content through the lockdown too.”

Ranbir Kapoor is known for his beloved romantic comedies and one of the most popular and loved one is Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani starring Deepika Padukone. In a recent fun chat with his fans on a zoom call, Ranbir Kapoor said that he believes that YJHD “would make a good sequel.”

When a fan asked if there's a film apart from Brahmastra, he “would want to do a sequel of”, he chose the Ayan Mukerji romance drama. Ranbir said, “I think Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani would make a good sequel.”

He even revealed that Ayan has a nice story for the sequel but he eventually got busy with Brahmastra franchise. “Ayan also had a very nice story, I remember, but then he went into this Brahmastra journey. But never say never. He might make it after a couple of years,” he said. He added, “I think the story will be 10 years forward where Bunny, Naina, Avi and Aditi, where they are in their lives. I think it’ll be quite interesting and nice to explore those characters.”

Back in 2018, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor had said that YJHD sequel could be made between Brahmastra Part 1 and Part 2.  “Ayan is on the journey to make Brahmastra, which is very time-consuming. But we have often spoken about Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani 2. He also has an idea for it and he seldom says we should have just done that it would be an easier film. More easier than Brahmastra, because he is going quite crazy, making this film. You never know. Maybe between Brahmastra Part 1 and 2, we get a window of 6 months,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor was last seen Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. He will be next seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, releasing in August 2023. On the other hand, the second part of Brahmastra is now scheduled to release in December 2026 and the third part will be released in December 2027.

In September 2020, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued a notice to actress Kangana Ranaut, alleging that she had carried out unauthorised construction at her office-cum-residential property in Pali Hill, Bandra. Kangana, who has been vocal about her political views on social media, claimed that the notice was politically motivated and that the BMC was trying to intimidate her. Post the incident, Kangana had demanded compensation of Rs 2 crore from the BMC, citing that the demolition of her bungalow was carried out illegally.

Speaking of the same recently, the Queen actress stated that she no longer wants compensation. In a conversation with ABP News, the actress asserted, “I have not got any compensation till now, they were supposed to send evaluators. So, I met Shinde ji (current Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Sambhaji Shinde), and said, ‘Aap hi log mujhe kuch evaluation bhej dijiye (Please send some evaluators)’. I do not want anybody who has abused the money of the taxpayers… I do not want any more compensation, it’s fine.”

The Tanu Weds Manu actress further added, “The court has said they are supposed to pay me whatever compensation, but like I said, they never sent evaluators and I did not demand, because I know it’s tax payers’ money and I don’t want any of it.”

For the unversed, on September 9, 2020, the BMC officials arrived at Kangana's office and began demolishing the illegal structures, the same day that Kangana arrived in Mumbai from Himachal Pradesh. After the demolition, Kangana sought legal action and obtained a stay order on the demolition drive from the Bombay High Court along with a compensation of Rs 2 crores.

Coming to the professional front, the 36-year-old actress has a bunch of projects in her kitty, including Emergency. Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Kangana is not only headlining the upcoming film, but also donning the hat of the director.

Despite a poor performance at the box office, the 2019 Hindi film Sonchiriya has been praised for its powerful storytelling and standout performances. The film stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Bhumi Pednekar, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey, and Ashutosh Rana, all delivering exceptional performances in their roles. Recently, Bhumi shared her thoughts on the film and what were her expectations. Bhumi also stated that the commercial failure of the film “broke” her heart.

During a recent conversation with Rajeev Masand, Bhumi revealed that she is strategic in her choices and seeks to diversify her career by selecting films that fulfil her creative desires while also having commercial appeal. She cited her decision to star in Sonchiriya as an example of this approach, as the film satisfied both criteria. Unfortunately, despite her efforts, the movie failed to attract audiences and was removed from cinemas after only a week.

The young actress asserted, “When I did Sonchiriya, it was off the theatres in six days. It was maybe my first heartbreak because every film of mine was a blockbuster before that. The four films (Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Lust Stories) I did before that, did incredible numbers and travelled really well. I am on an all-time high, and then came Sonchiriya, a film I was so attached to because I gave that film eight months of my life.”

Bhumi expressed her belief that the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer had all the necessary elements to become a major success. However, the film was taken down from theatres after only six days, which “really broke her heart”.

Coming to the professional front, the 33-year-old actress is currently making headlines for her latest release, Afwaah. Directed by Sudhir Mishra, it also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sumeet Vyas.

Indian pop sensation Armaan Malik and composer-producer OAFF who is known to bridge the gap between mainstream Bollywood and feel-good pop, have collaborated to release their new song titled ‘Tabaahi’. The song has a chill-pop vibe and captures a perfect blend of sound and energy to get fans grooving to its beats. ‘Tabaahi’ is a very intimate yet grand track that holds a certain ‘feel good’ emotion throughout its duration and is certain to become a go-to drive and chill song for listeners.

With an infectious rhythm running through the song, the song brings about a fresh energy as it talks about the ‘sukoon’ (peace) one feels being alone in nature with the person they love and when they aren’t in their company, everything feels like it’s falling apart and it’s absolute ‘tabaahi’ (destruction).

Speaking about the song, Armaan says, “Collaborating with OAFF was an unexpected yet beautiful experience. ‘Tabaahi’ brought out a different side to my musicality which I had never known or accessed before. That’s the beauty of collaborations, they always bring a new colour of both artists to the fore. We hope that this song of ours becomes a part of your playlist and makes you feel all the emotions we felt while making it.”

Sharing his thoughts on the release, OAFF says, “The song is about two people coming together. There is a line in there that is ‘Thoda thoda sa main hu, thoda thoda sa tu bhi hain’ which captures the spirit of the collaboration. It really was a coming together of two different artists and creating something new. I was often pleasantly surprised during the making of the song about how in sync Armaan and I were, even though we had never met before.”

Now that Sooraj Pancholi is finally a free man, where does he go from here? Would the film industry come forward to finally give Sooraj the break he deserves? There is a strong positive buzz on Sooraj’s comeback. The judicial clean chit has cleared the air regarding his future. Several producers are now looking at signing Sooraj for their projects.

A prominent filmmaker said, “There is the fear that Sooraj’s career might be a casualty of the hate campaign similar to the one carried out against Rhea Chakraborty after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. But the industry by and large believes Sooraj to be innocent. They will come forward with offers once the dust settles down.”

At the moment, Sooraj wants to take a break from the public gaze to be with his family. Mother Zarina Wahab said, “The enormity of the verdict (the acquittal) will take a long time to sink in. Right now, we are just enjoying the feeling of being a normal family, not thinking about the future.”

Sooraj Pancholi made his acting debut with Hero in 2015, which was produced by Salman Khan. It was also the debut for Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty. He was next seen in Satellite Shankar (2019). His last film was Time To Dance (2021).

Her sleeveless fit, which Nachiket Barve created, had all the necessary components to make it a complete party stealer.

Veteran actor Dalip Tahhil is known to be the only actor to play India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru thrice in, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), Samvidhan (TV series, 2013) and the Marathi movie Bhaai: Vyati Kee Valli (2019). He is now all set to add another feather to his cap by playing another prominent politician, this time of another country. Tahhil will be playing the former Pakistani President Zulfiqar Bhutto in IB 71.

As per the makers, “Tahhil spent months researching Bhutto's life, mannerisms, and speech patterns to ensure that his portrayal of the character was authentic and nuanced. Tahhil’s casting has also brought to the fore the cultural and historical ties that bind the Sindhi communities on either side of the India-Pakistan border. Tahhil had with himself the opportunity to play such an important character and showcase the cultural similarities between the two countries.”

Directed by Sankalp Reddy, IB 71 is an espionage action-drama centring around the 1971 war between India and Pakistan. The film stars Vidyut Jammwal, Anupam Kher and Vishal Jethwa. This is also the first film for Vidyut as a producer.

Sharing his experience of playing Bhutto, Tahhil said in a statement, “Playing the role of Zulfiqar Bhutto was a challenge that I couldn’t resist. I needed to bring a sense of authenticity and nuance to the character. I spent months researching Bhutto’s life, his mannerisms, and his speech patterns. I hope that my portrayal of the character does justice to his legacy and brings to the fore the cultural similarities that exist between our two countries.”

IB 71 is all set to release in theatres on May 12.

The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan has been in the news for more than a week, due to its unconfirmed release status. Since June 2022, it has been scheduled to release in cinemas on June 2, 2023. However, there has been speculation that it will be pushed. Some days ago, reports claimed that it will now arrive in cinemas on June 29, to take advantage of the Bakri Eid holiday.

Yesterday, it was reported that Jawan, in all probability, will release in August, either on August 11 or August 25. Interestingly, two major films are scheduled already on the 11th – the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal and Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2. Hence, it led to another round of speculations among fans that one of the two films might move or both will make way for Jawan.

Bollywood Hungama has learnt that there is no change in the release dates of both Animal as well as Gadar 2. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “August 11 is a plum date as Independence Day falls on Tuesday, August 15 this year. Both the films had booked the slot a long time back and don’t want to lose out on it.”

An industry insider commented, “August 25 is being considered by Jawan’s team but we have been hearing that they are even looking at August 4. The good news is that the official announcement is expected at any moment. That’ll put an end to all speculations once and for all.”

Another industry expert lamented, “Three big films in a month can be a bit too much for an average moviegoer, especially if the ticket prices will be sky-high. Here’s hoping all films do well.”

Directed by Atlee, Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Sanya Malhotra along with Deepika Padukone in a special appearance. As for Animal, it is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh (2019) fame and also features Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna. Finally, Gadar 2 is the sequel to Gadar (2001), one of the biggest hits in the history of Indian cinema. It brings back the star cast, which featured in the first part, that is, Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma. It is directed by Anil Sharma.
