Sonakshi Sinha admits she has the most beautiful life. Sonakshi married the love of her life, Zaheer Iqbal, following the success of her Netflix programme Heeramandi, and her film Kakuda, starring the newest 100 crore club member—Munjya director Aditya Sarpotdar—is currently available on ZEE5.

Sonakshi Sinha on balancing work and marriage

Sonakshi was promoting Kakuda, which also stars Ritesh Deshmukh and close buddy, actor Saqib Saleem. When questioned why she went back to work so soon after being married, Sonakshi told Indianexpress.com, “I just got married, guys. Pata nahi aisa bhi kya kar diya maine.” When asked whether she’s not planning to take off for her honeymoon with Zaheer, she said, “Maine woh bhi kar diya. And now I am back to work, and I am loving it.”

Sonakshi Sinha on Kakuda                                                                                           Sonakshi Sinha has a vibrant energy. She is looking forward to promoting her film Kakuda, a parody horror comedy. Speaking on how she is pushing out of her comfort zone for Kakuda, Sonakshi said, “Kakuda came to me and I just found it to be such a fun read. I was very entertained while reading the script. Although I don’t like horror films, there was so much humour in this film. Aditya (Sarpotdar) is someone who has understood this genre so well. I think his grasp on it is fantastic. He kind of knows where to scare people, where to make them laugh, the punches, the beats, he gets it bang on. It was a pleasure to work on a genre like this for the first time with a director like him who is so well versed with it. So, I had a blast. It was me stepping out of my comfort zone, trying out something I hadn’t done before. I’d love to do it again because it was so much fun.”

Sonakshi then explained how she quickly signed Kakuda. She added, “If I like something then I don’t believe in dilly-dallying and making the other person wait too much. If I am excited about something, then I am. I’ll go full on. That is what happened with this film as well.”

Sonakshi further added, “I think it is fantastic. I am doing exactly the kind of work that I always wanted to do and it’s been a gradual process. I have done everything. I want to be an actor who filmmakers think ‘I can put this girl in any genre and cast her in any kind of film.’ Today I am open to doing any kind of film, small film, big film, action film, romantic film, whatever film. I want to be that actor who can be cast anywhere. I have tried my hand at everything, really, and I have enjoyed it. Some films have done well; some films have not. I have made my mistakes and I have learned from them. That has really made me the actor and person I am today.”

Sonakshi Sinha's desire to explore Biopics

Sonakshi Sinha began her career with Salman Khan's Dabangg in 2010. While she has played a variety of roles throughout the course of her career, she has recently taken on projects on her own. When asked if she has intentionally chosen meaty parts over conventional glitter roles.

Sonakshi said, “I am open to everything. The role should excite me. It’s been a while since I shifted gears from a particular kind of film that I was doing to playing very strong female characters on screen. And I really enjoy that. It really satisfies me as a person and as an actor. So I will follow that same direction and then it depends on what roles I get to play. I’d love to do biopics. I’d love to do period films more, do all out action again. I really enjoyed doing action in Akira.”

Sonakshi Sinha is all set to complete 14 years as an actor in Bollywood this year in September. In these years, she played varied roles but it was only in 2024 that she played a dual role for the first time in her much-talked-about web series, Heeramandi. And now it has come to light that she has a double role in her latest release, Kakuda as well.

Kakuda is a horror comedy directed by Aditya Sarpotdar of Munjya (2024) fame. Released directly on Zee5, it is set in a village haunted by a midget ghost. The ghost attacks a newly married man, Sunny (played by Saqib Salaam). He’s all set to die in 13 days. Not ready to take things lying down, his wife Indira aka Indu (Sonakshi Sinha) asks for help from a ghost hunter, Victor Jacobs (Riteish Deshmukh).

Very soon in the film, viewers get to know that Indu has a twin sister by the name of Gomati. The twin sister angle makes for an interesting addition and forms an important plot point, especially in the film’s second half.

In Heeramandi, meanwhile, Sonakshi Sinha played the role of Rehana and that of her daughter Fareedan. But in this Netflix show directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, both characters never appear together. That’s not the case in Kakuda and many scenes feature two Sonakshi’s on the screen.

Kakuda is also Sonakshi Sinha’s first release after her marriage with her long-time boyfriend and actor Zaheer Iqbal. The wedding was a star-studded affair and also led to some controversies due to protests in Bihar and brother Luv Sinha’s comments on Zaheer on the microblogging platform X, which he later deleted.

Before Heeramandi, Sonakshi Sinha’s first release of 2024 was Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, in which she was seen in a supporting role. Her upcoming release is Nikita Roy And The Book Of Darkness, directed by her brother Kussh Sinha.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas (2002) remains one of his most iconic works. Based on the story by the late celebrated author Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the movie starred Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit played Paro and Chandramukhi respectively. The film became a runaway success and swept most of the awards that year.

Devdas was also one of the earliest films for actress Nehha Pendse, who was a teenager back then. She played the character of Chaurangi, one of the girls in Chandramukhi’s palace.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to be a strict taskmaster. There are also stories about his anger. However, Nehha’s experience of working with him was exactly the opposite. She revealed this while recalling an incident during the film’s shoot in an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama.

“This is also what I heard (that Bhansali is a strict taskmaster). But my experience of him, not just with me but my observation of him during Devdas was very different. He was the coolest and extremely patient,” she said.

Nehha recalled an interesting incident during a scene she shot. “In fact, I remember one incident very clearly,” she said. “It was a little complex shot between me, Madhuri and others where retakes were happening because of me. It was because I wasn’t doing my part correctly. But he was so patient! Not one set of anger, nothing whatsoever. I was feeling guilty for taking retakes, but he was so chilled. Of course, I was a child. He took care of me.”

Nehha added, “So, I, honestly, have a very different experience of him. I am a little surprised when I hear all these stories of him losing his cool. My personal experience, not just with me but, like I said, being on the set in general (with him) has been very nice, beautiful and memorable.”

Nehha has always been a die-hard fan of Shah Rukh Khan, even when she was shooting Devdas. There was also a moment in the film where she shared the screen with SRK. However, she couldn’t speak to him due to an unusual reason.

“If I have to be very honest, I was a 15-16-year-old very shy girl,” she said. “He is the most courteous man ever. He is going to wish good mornings and good nights to everyone who comes in his eyesight. He makes you feel comfortable, happy, everything. I was so shy that I didn’t even have the courage to wish him good night back. I just used to smile and look down because dil mein laddoo phoot te the (I was all excited from inside).”

Nehha added that she hasn’t got a chance to meet SRK again. But if she does, she won’t let the opportunity go by abegging.

The tale of Bhool Bhulaiyaa is getting a fresh chapter, and this time, the thrills and chills are headed to the historical town of Orchha in Madhya Pradesh. After a brief hiatus for Kartik Aaryan's other project, Chandu Champion, the team has regrouped, ready to unleash the scares (and laughs) with the film's final shooting schedule. Kartik has shed his playful persona to embrace the role of Rooh Baba once more. He's joined by Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit-Nene. Notably, Vidya Balan, who left audiences spellbound with her portrayal of Manjulika in the first film (2007), is expected to join the cast this week.

According to a report in Mid-day, director Anees Bazmee embarked on a meticulous scouting mission across Madhya Pradesh in June. After careful consideration, Orchha emerged as the perfect setting for the film's final act. The town boasts breathtaking natural beauty, alongside ancient palaces and monuments that resonate with historical significance.

On July 3rd, the cameras started rolling once again, capturing the essence of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The first leg of the two-week schedule unfolded at the picturesque Kanchan Ghat, nestled along the serene Betwa River. Last week, the team shifted gears, filming dramatic scenes at the Ram Raja Mandir, with Aaryan, Dixit, and Rajpal Yadav leading the charge. Currently, the focus is on capturing the romantic essence of the story with Aaryan and Dimri filming a song and other tender scenes at the breathtaking Jahangir Mahal. The grand finale, however, promises an explosive culmination, bringing all four lead actors - Aaryan, Dimri, Dixit-Nene, and Balan - together.

The first film (2007) transported audiences to the vibrant hues of Jaipur and the historical grandeur of Hampi. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) opted for a more urban landscape, filmed primarily in Mumbai and Lucknow. This time, the story embarks on a journey from the bustling streets of Mumbai to the historical echoes of Kolkata, finally settling in the captivating town of Orchha. The production team is currently residing at the Orchha Palace Hotel and Convention Centre.

Speaking about the location choice, producer Bhushan Kumar highlights the significance of filming at iconic landmarks like Orchha Fort and Ram Raja Mandir. He emphasized, “These settings not only offer beautiful backgrounds, but also bring an authentic charm to the story. These historical landmarks add to the cultural richness of every scene.”

In a recent Instagram story, Gauahar Khan extended her support to Vishal Pandey, who is currently embroiled in a heated controversy on Bigg Boss OTT 3. Gauahar questioned the fairness of the backlash Vishal faced for complimenting Armaan Malik's second wife, Kritika Malik. She wrote, “Toh kya married logon ko sundar bolna bhi gunah hai!!!!! Kuch bhi. (Is it a crime to call married people beautiful. Doesn’t make sense).” Gauahar's comment reflects her disbelief at the situation and emphasizes that appreciating someone's beauty should not be considered offensive.

The viral video incident

The incident began when a video showing Vishal and fellow contestant Luv Kataria making jokes about Kritika’s gym clothes went viral. In the clip, Kritika and Armaan are seen working out in the garden gym area while Vishal and Luv sit nearby. Vishal comments, “Bhaiya Bhagyashaali (Lucky brother),” referring to Armaan, to which Luv responds, “Main samajh gaya (I understood everything).” The conversation escalates with Vishal telling Luv to stay quiet, hinting at impropriety, which Luv acknowledges with embarrassment.

Payal Malik's accusations and Armaan's reaction

Adding to the tension, Armaan Malik's first wife, Payal Malik, claimed on the show that Vishal had admitted to liking Kritika and later regretting his feelings. This disclosure led to a confrontation where Anil Kapoor and Armaan reprimanded Vishal, who denied the accusations. Armaan’s frustration peaked when Vishal asked Luv to repeat his words about Kritika, prompting Armaan to slap Vishal. The altercation was intense, and other housemates had to step in to prevent further escalation.

Anil Kapoor's role as host

This season of Bigg Boss OTT marks Anil Kapoor's debut as the show's host, replacing Salman Khan, who had other professional commitments. The star-studded cast, including Shivani Kumari, Sai Ketan Rao, Sana Makbul, Ranvir Shorey, and Deepak Chaurasia, adds to the drama and excitement of the show. Anil Kapoor's presence has brought a fresh dynamic to the series, but the controversies continue to stir the pot among the contestants.

The ongoing drama

As tensions remain high in the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, the incident involving Armaan Malik and Vishal Pandey has divided fans and viewers. With Gauahar Khan's support for Vishal and ongoing conflicts among contestants, the show promises more drama and unexpected twists. The reactions from housemates and the public will undoubtedly shape the narrative as the season progresses, keeping the audience hooked to the unfolding events.

The latest controversy on Bigg Boss OTT 3 has not only stirred emotions within the house but also among the viewers and former contestants like Gauahar Khan. Her support for Vishal Pandey adds another layer to the complex dynamics of the show, highlighting how a single incident can spark widespread debate and division.

The month of May brought some relief to the exhibitors thanks to the Rajkummar Rao-starrer Srikanth. It was one of the few major releases of the month and did exceptionally well in cinemas. It also made its director Tushar Hiranandani someone to watch out for. It has now come to light that Tushar has already moved on to his next project. As per a source, he is reshooting certain portions of the Vikrant Massey-starrer The Sabarmati Report.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is not going for a massive reshoot. The producers felt that some scenes could come out strongly and also, they thought of roping in Tushar Hiranandani for the reshoot. The actors, too, readily came on board.”

In April 2024, Bollywood Hungama reported that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had expressed reservations that certain moments in the film could hurt the sentiments of a section of the moviegoers and hence, the makers had toyed with the idea of reshooting the film. The source, however, has no information on whether the film is being reshot for this reason or some other factor.

Back then, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report that The Sabarmati Report wouldn’t be able to make it in cinemas on May 3. This was a time when the Lok Sabha Elections were going on and besides objections to some scenes, the CBFC also feared that it might violate the model code of conduct as laid down by the Election Commission of India.

Besides Vikrant Massey, The Sabarmati Report also stars Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra. It is a political thriller about two reporters investigating the burning of the Sabarmati Express at Godhra on February 27, 2002. It is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan and directed by Ranjan Chandel.

Shweta Tiwari Recalls Shooting in Less Than Ideal Condition "It was really gross," Shweta revealed.

"We were shooting this in Film City Lake and stayed in the water all night," Shweta continued. "In the morning, we realised that kids had been sitting on the edge of the lake and pooping there.

As if the sewage water wasn't enough, Shweta also encountered another unsettling surprise. "I also saw a snake crawling there," she added, "and realised it was in the water with us at night."

The film is supported by the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Hubert Bals Fund and was developed at LA Residency, a part of the Global Media Makers (GMM) program of Film Independent, Los Angeles. During the course of the residency, Bikas was mentored by Craig Mazin (creator of HBO’s Chernobyl, The Last of Us, Hangover 2 and 3) and received advice on the script from writer Jeff Stockwell and story editor Ruth Atkinson.

"The sheer passion of the director-producer duo, Bikas and Shiladitya, moved me," actor Huma Qureshi said about signing Bayaan.

"Collaborating with such dedicated professionals, who care deeply about filmmaking, is truly exciting. It's a rare combination: a fantastic script, a talented crew, and their complete dedication to their work. Their energy is infectious.

"As a producer, I'm always looking for that one script that will be a breakout film for everyone involved. My job is to back the director's vision and empower him to create a film that will take us places. Huma's backing reaffirms my faith in the project."

Producer Shiladitya Bora has earlier backed projects such as Newton (India’s Official Entry to the 2018 Oscars), and Picasso (Prime Video India's first Marathi direct-to-digital acquisition). His banner, Platoon One Films, is a leading Indian independent film production house that was behind last year’s Berlin Panorama selection Ghaath.

Bayaan boasts a talented crew; three of them, the director, producer, and cinematographer, are alumni of the prestigious Berlinale Talents. Udit Khurana (Ghaath, Netflix’s Hunt for Veerappan) will shoot the film, while Vinay Vishwakarma (Disney-Hotstar's Candy) will serve as the production designer, and Shilpi Agarwal (Prasanna Vithanage’s Paradise, Netflix’s Indian Predator: Murder in a Courtroom) will serve as the costume designer.

This news was followed by an official announcement from Bhansali himself, confirming a Christmas 2025 release date. According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source close to the project said that Bhansali has partnered with Jio Studios to bring his vision of the film to life. The film is described as one of Bhansali's most ambitious projects to date, and the pre-production process is already well underway.

Junaid Khan, who has received praise for his portrayal in his recent debut film Maharaj, has remarked about "his biggest critic at home". In an interview with India Today, Junaid said that his father, Aamir Khan, mother, Reena Dutta, and sister, Ira Khan, are "very supportive and very encouraging even in their criticism."

Junaid Khan about family support

He said, "We don’t really talk about films so much. But I know that Ira (my sister) unconditionally supports me. I'm blessed because I come from a very supportive family. Also, they don't shy away from saying it like it is. Even Papa (Aamir) will say, 'Look, I feel this, but you should do what you want.' The same is with mom. So, yeah, I think everybody is very supportive and very encouraging even in their criticism.”

Junaid on Aamir’s unique acting style

Junaid also responded to a question about his height gap with Aamir and how his acting technique differs from his father's. He continued, “I guess that is a compliment (laughs). No, I don't know how to answer that in the sense that it's not necessarily a conscious thing. I guess as performers, we're all different. He's a fantastic actor. A lot of times, between two of his own films, you would not be able to tell it's the same person. So, yes, we are very different as performers.”

About Maharaj

Junaid played Karsandas Mulji, a social reformer, in the film Maharaj. Maharaj digs into the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case, one of India's most famous judicial battles, and focuses on the life of Karsanda. The film, directed by Sidharth P Malhotra and produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF) Entertainment, also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey, and Sharvari. Maharaj is currently available on Netflix.

Junaid on his film Maharaj

Recently speaking with news agency ANI, Junaid opened up about how he was inspired by the story of Karsandas Mulji. "He was a real person who in 1862 was talking about those things which even today are happening. It happens in society today. And it happens in every society. And at that time, he was fighting about it. When we didn't have that much knowledge. So, I found the character and the story very inspirational. That there is a man who had so much understanding back then," he had said.

Director Neeraj Panday admits that he was unaware of their off-screen friendship, but he thought they were the ideal cast for the picture. “Two years back, when we were figuring out our next theatrical release, the germ of this film came to me. It was there in some form in my head before that but I didn’t actually sit down and write about it till two years ago. And Ajay and Tabu were my first choices. Having said that, I don’t know if it’s their friendship that translated onscreen because I know nothing about its background,” the filmmaker said.

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss OTT 3, tensions within the house reached a boiling point when Armaan Malik and Vishal Pandey engaged in a heated verbal exchange. Armaan called Vishal "machchar" (mosquito), hinting at his annoyance with him. The feud escalated when Armaan mocked Vishal’s viral ‘Kachcha Badaam’ video and accused him of hiding his phone, a claim Vishal dismissed as a joke. The relationship between the two soured further as their disagreements intensified.

Payal Malik’s reaction to the incident

Reacting to the incident, Payal Malik, Armaan’s wife, spoke in an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol.com, supporting her husband. "Armaan kabhi dil se kuch nahi kehte. Unhone aise he majaak mein kaha hoga. Sare gharvale jealous hai humse," she reiterated, emphasizing that Armaan’s comments should not be taken to heart as he often speaks in jest. Payal’s statement highlights her belief that the other housemates might be envious of their relationship.

Further escalation over food quality

The situation further escalated when Armaan and Vishal clashed over the quality of food. Armaan complained about the half-cooked rotis made by Vishal, leading to another argument. Vishal’s blunt response, suggesting Armaan cook the rotis himself if he didn’t like them, only added fuel to the fire. The argument carried over to the next day, underscoring the ongoing tension between the two contestants and their struggle to coexist peacefully.

Audience reaction to Armaan Malik's family dynamics

The inclusion of Armaan Malik and his two wives in Bigg Boss OTT 3 has divided viewers. Some appreciate the bold move to showcase a polygamous relationship, while others criticize it as a mere gimmick to boost ratings. This decision by the show’s producers has sparked widespread debate about the portrayal of unconventional family structures on national television, with Payal and Kritika's presence adding a unique dynamic to the show.

The aftermath of Payal Malik's eviction

Payal Malik’s eviction from the show has left Armaan and Kritika Malik to continue competing. Her departure has been a topic of discussion among fans, many of whom consider it unfair. Despite her eviction, Payal remains supportive of her family and continues to defend Armaan’s actions and behavior in the house. The ongoing drama and evolving dynamics within the house keep viewers engaged as Bigg Boss OTT 3 progresses.

Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan, longtime friends and co-stars, have shared a remarkable journey in Bollywood. Recently, Juhi offered a glimpse into Shah Rukh Khan's early days in Mumbai, starkly contrasting his superstardom today.

When Shah Rukh Khan Couldn’t Pay EMI  Speaking at an event, held by the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry in the state, Juhi revealed that Shah Rukh Khan, upon arriving in Mumbai, didn't have a permanent residence.

Juhi mentioned his dedication during their projects together, including Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Dil Aashna Hai, and Deewana with Divya Bharti.

Juhi shared, “I remember Shah Rukh those days didn't have a home in Mumbai. So he used to come from Delhi (his hometown). I don't know where he stayed. He used to have tea with the unit (the film crew), eat with the unit, and blended in the unit seamlessly. He also did 2-3 shifts then.”

She further recalled, “He had a black Gypsy. But it was taken away one day because he couldn't pay the EMI, or there was something. He came on our set very dejected. I told him, ‘Don’t worry, you'll have many more cars one day.' And he still remembers that. Because it's true. Look at him today.” Shah Rukh Khan’s humble beginning Led to Stardom  Today, Shah Rukh Khan owns a fleet of luxury vehicles and resides in the iconic sea-facing bungalow, Mannat, in Bandra, Mumbai. Interestingly, Mannat even makes an appearance in the background of the song ‘Chaand Taare’ from their 1997 film Yes Boss.

The way Virat Kohli played in the finals and how Rohit Sharma said that he was saving it for the finals, even Suryakumar’s catch was unreal. This match was a perfect nail-biter and something which a lot of us won’t forget. Jasprit Bumrah in the end, Hardik Pandya, everyone – it was a team effort last night.”

He also talked about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retiring and said, “We won the World Cup, but sadly, we are losing two diamonds. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are retiring. It definitely breaks my heart and fans’ too.”
