Natasa's absence from IPL and World Cup matches prompted suspicions regarding her breakup. Hardik Pandya's decision to forgo the Sri Lanka series fueled split speculations.

Natasa Stankovic, a former Bigg Boss contestant and dancer, married cricketer Hardik Pandya on May 31, 2020. In February 2023, the pair reaffirmed their wedding vows using Hindu and Christian ceremonies.

However, suspicion about their split began in May of this year, when netizens observed that the model had deleted the surname 'Pandya' from her Instagram username. Later, a Reddit thread titled "Natasa and Hardik separated?" went viral, capturing everyone's interest. The report stated that the two were sharing photos with each other and questioned Natasa's absence from IPL 2024 games.

Natasa shared an Instagram story video earlier this month that appeared to corroborate the speculations of their split. In the video, she says, "Just a little reminder from me to you again: God did not erase the Red Sea; He just separated it. This implies he will not eradicate an issue from your life; rather, he will find a way around it."

Meanwhile, Natasa appears to have returned to her hometown, Serbia. On Wednesday, she was seen at the Mumbai airport with her son, Agastya. She was observed lugging suitcases while ignoring the press and not posing for photos.

The much-awaited film Bad Newz has released today in cinemas and is off to a strong start. This has been possible due to a great response to the trailer and songs, an amusing subject and great casting. The moviegoers who’ll venture out to watch the comic caper will expect some great entertainment from its lead cast – Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk. However, they’ll be surprised to know that two more gorgeous actresses also feature in this film.

It turns out that Ananya Panday has a very crucial cameo in Bad Newz. Her presence gives an interesting addition to the film’s plot. In the opening disclaimers, ‘Thank You Ananya Panday’ is duly mentioned.

And that’s not all. At another crucial juncture, Neha Sharma makes an appearance as well. She looks ravishing and her presence further contributes to the laughter quotient of the film.

Cameos or supporting roles by popular actors usually make a film more exciting. Karan Johar, one of the producers of Bad Newz, has been doing this since his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). It starred Salman Khan who all of a sudden entered the narrative in the second half of the Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol-Rani Mukerji starrer and surprised the audiences as they had no idea about his presence.

In today’s times, however, it is difficult to hide such special appearances as news often gets leaked to the press. But Ananya Panday and Neha Sharma’s presence in Bad Newz was a well-kept secret and nobody, outside of the film unit, got a hint about it.

Another fun, quirky appearance in the film is that of Gajraj Rao. He hasn’t acted in the film; he plays a dead person and his photo can be seen hanging on the wall. Funnily, ‘Fatherly appearance Gajraj Rao’ is mentioned at the very beginning of the end credits.

Besides all these actors, Bad Newz also stars Neha Dhupia and Sheeba Chadha. It is directed by Anand Tiwari and produced by Karan Johar of Dharma Productions, Anand Tiwari and Amritpal Singh Bindra of Leo Media Collective Pvt Ltd and Manish Menghani of Amazon Prime.

Sonakshi told Bollywood Bubble that she and Zaheer always intended to keep their wedding intimate. She said, “We had each other and this is something that we wanted to do for so long and we were very clear how we wanted it to be. We wanted it to be small and intimate.”

Sonakshi and Zaheer's reception was held in Mumbai's iconic restaurant Bastian, where numerous film industry stars, including Salman Khan, Rekha, and Anil Kapoor, danced their hearts out. During the conversation, the Lootera star confessed that she has always wanted her reception to be a joyful affair. She said, “We also wanted our reception to be one big party where everybody just has fun. I didn’t want to take any stress, so my house was an open house. Everybody was coming and going while I was getting my hair and makeup done. Friends are chilling in the wardrobe, decor is going on, the food is being set up. So, it was literally like an open house and that’s how I wanted my D-Day to be like. It felt so homely and beautiful. It was perfect.”

Cricketer KL Rahul and his wife Athiya Suneil Shetty have purchased an apartment in Pali Hill area in Bandra, Mumbai, for ₹20 crore, according to property registration papers accessed by IndexTap.com.

According to the paperwork, the property measures 3,350 square feet and is located on the second level of the ground-plus-18 floors of the Sandhu Palace building in the Pali Hill district of Bandra.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a partial occupation certificate for the ground-plus-18-floor structure, according to the records.

Rahul and Shetty paid stamp duty of ₹1.20 crore and registration cost of ₹30,000, as per papers.

The unit has four car parking spaces. The documents show that the transaction was registered on July 15.

Recently, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will award ₹125 crore in prize money to the Indian cricket team's winning players among the coaching staff for their World Cup victory.

Last year saw the release of Adipurush (2023) based on the epic Ramayana. Next year, if all goes well, another film on this subject will be released, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol and Yash. And this year, too, audiences will be treated with a film version of Ramayana, that too, the one which is close to their hearts. As per trade sources, the much-loved anime film Ramayana: The Legend Of Prince Rama is all set to release in theatres this year.

A trade expert told Bollywood Hungama, “Ramayana: The Legend Of Prince Rama has been remastered in 4K by the makers. They felt that releasing the movie in cinemas could be a good idea as it never arrived on the big screen. Moreover, they keep getting a lot of love and positive comments on their social media handles. In fact, after Adipurush disappointed moviegoers, many on social media drew parallels with Ramayana: The Legend Of Prince Rama and shared its clips. This proves that it has a strong recall value and a cult following.”

The source further added, “The makers have begun talks with distributors to understand how wide the release should be and other such strategies.” When asked when the film will be released, the source replied, “The date has not been locked. But they are looking at releasing it either in September or October. A clearer picture will emerge in a few weeks.”

Ramayana: The Legend Of Prince Rama was a co-production between India and Japan and was directed by Koichi Sasaki, Ram Mohan and Yugo Sako. Originally in English, it was later dubbed in Hindi. The latter version was played on the popular kids’ channel Cartoon Network in 2002 as a weekly series and got a huge viewership.

Interestingly, Arun Govil, who played the role of Lord Rama in the classic TV show Ramayan, also voiced the character in Ramayana: The Legend Of Prince Rama. Amrish Puri meanwhile gave the voiceover for Ravana. Acclaimed music director Vanraj Bhatia composed its songs.

Another fascinating trivia was that an alternate English version was released in the USA. It was called Warrior Prince and The Prince of Light: The Legend Of Ramayana and Lord Rama was voiced by none other than Bryan Cranston of 'Breaking Bad' fame. Moreover, the narrator was James Earl Jones, who provided the voice for Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise.

Janhvi Kapoor stunned everyone at the Ulajh launch ceremony. The actor was asked if the 'secret' she posted on her Instagram stories had anything to do with her marriage to her rumoured boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya and she had responded hilariously.

Janhvi took to her Instagram stories on Monday morning and wrote, “Guys!! I have a secret. Can’t wait to share it with you!” The secret, as it turned out, was about the trailer launch of her upcoming film Ulajh. In the evening, when she was attending an event for the film, a reporter asked her, “Janhvi, is there some wedding news?” She hilariously replied, “Are you mad?” Then she was asked what the ‘secret’ she posted was about, and she said, “You’ll know tomorrow.”

Janhvi and Shikhar make frequent public appearances together. They've attended red carpet events and Bollywood parties together, as well as a trip to Tirupathi with Orry. Janhvi once flaunted a necklace with the word Shiku engraved on it. The most recent event where they were spotted together was Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding. Shikhar even hooted as she posed for photos in a gold lehenga.

On Koffee With Karan, she also hinted at their on-off relationship in season 2.

After raid on a flat in Hydershakotla in Narsingi, Telangana police said, "We seized 199 grams of cocaine worth ₹ 35 lakh, two passports, two bikes, 10 cell phones and other incriminating material from their possession."

The Telangana Anti Narcotics Bureau, Cyberabad Police's Special Operations Team (SOT), and Rajendranagar Police detained five drug dealers, including two Nigerians, for distributing cocaine to high-profile clientele in the city.

Avinash Mohanty, the Cyberabad Commissioner of Police, stated that Aman is one of those clients.

Nag Ashwin's directorial sci-fi extravaganza, Kalki 2898 AD, has touched down at a phenomenal milestone! The film has officially raked in over Rs 1000 crore at the worldwide box office, solidifying its position as a mega-hit. After this exciting news, director Nag Ashwin took to social media to express his heartfelt gratitude. His post, which has since been deleted, celebrated the film's success while highlighting the team's creative approach.

Nag Ashwin Celebrates Kalki 2898 AD’s Success  "This milestone...this number...is obviously massive for a young team like ours..." Ashwin wrote, "but the fact that we achieved it without blood, gore, obscenity, provocative or exploitative content, means so much..."

While Ashwin's message undoubtedly aimed to emphasize Kalki 2898 AD's unique storytelling, some netizens interpreted his words as a subtle dig at another upcoming project – Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film, Animal.

Netizens See a Dig at Ranbir Kapoor's Animal? This sparked a conversation online, with some viewers suggesting Ashwin's post was a veiled comparison between the two films. One user commented, "Director of #Kalki28989AD Nag Ashwin takes an indirect dig at Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal movie, let's see how Vanga responds to this.” Another user pointed out the star power Kalki 2898 AD wielded, stating, "Budget is 4x times of Animal and have casting like Amitabh, Kamal Hassan, Deepika Padukone, Dulquer Salman etc etc and comparing yourself with Vanga who made blockbuster with just music screenplay and Ranbir Kapoor. @nagashwin7 enduku ayya comparison (why are you comparing)"

It's important to remember that deleted posts can often be misinterpreted, and Ashwin's original message might not have intended to create a rivalry.

Kalki 2898 AD boasts a stellar cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani. The film also features exciting cameos from Mrunal Thakur, Dulquer Salmaan, Vijay Deverakonda, S. S. Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Verma.

Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat are set to unleash their inner heist masters in the upcoming film Jewel Thief - The Red Sun Chapter. The project, produced by Siddharth Anand and directed by Robbie Grewal, promises a thrilling tale of international intrigue and high-stakes robbery.

According to a report in Mid-day, the film's journey began in Mumbai, where an extensive shooting schedule captured the bustling energy of the city.

An inside source revealed, “The final leg began on May 18 as they filmed songs featuring Saif and Nikita against the picturesque locales of Budapest. Some action-packed chase sequences were also canned in the 10-day stint. Robbie has envisioned Jewel Thief as a slick heist thriller, with the leading man sporting a suave look, complete with a ponytail. Saif has also built a chiselled, six-pack physique, for which he has been working out since last year.”

With the international schedule wrapped up in late May, the film nears completion. A brief patchwork shoot will take place in Mumbai next month, focusing on capturing cityscapes and car sequences. The source adds, “It will be only a few days of filming that will include some city and car shots. Robbie is currently neck-deep in post-production and wants to wrap it up by October.”

Bakhtiyaar Irani On Preparing For Ae Watan Mere Watan Role During his appearance on Inside The Mind With Rushabh, Bakhtiyaar spoke about being approached for the historical biopic. Excited about the opportunity, he even underwent a physical transformation for the part. "The director told me I was too bulky for the 1940s setting," he said. Following a strict diet and workout plan, Bakhtiyaar managed to lose 8 kgs in just a month and a half. Bakhtiyaar Irani On Being Replaced At The Last Minute  "Everything seemed finalized," Bakhtiyaar continued. "The director said 'next week contract signing' and I told my close circle – about 30 people – because I was so sure." However, the contract signing never happened. The role eventually went to another actor. Uncertain Reasons for Replacement Bakhtiyaar admitted his disappointment, attributing the change to bad luck. He also expressed his lack of understanding behind the decision.

"Recently, Karan Johar himself confessed that the rapid fire round in the latest season of the show was the most boring. It’s because now, the environment has completely changed. You can’t give such answers anymore," he said. He admitted that his comment stemmed from the show's competitive nature, "At that time, I just wanted to win the hamper and I ended up saying what I said." When Emraan stood outside Aishwarya’s Vanity Van Interestingly, Emraan revealed his long-standing admiration for Aishwarya. Although Aishwarya never directly addressed the comment, she did mention in a 2019 interview with Filmfare that being called "fake and plastic" was one of the worst things said about her. Recalling a moment from his early days as a fan, Emraan said, "I waited for hours outside Aishwarya's van after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam just to catch a glimpse of her. I was a huge fan!" Emraan Speaks On Personally Apologising Aishwarya Despite his efforts, Emraan never got to meet Aishwarya. "I have never met her. I have never had a conversation with her," he said. "I would love to meet her. And I would love to apologise if she felt bad about it. I will have to meet her and ask her. I am sorry if I offended you.”

There were also rumors suggesting Aishwarya declined a film with Emraan due to his comment. However, Emraan denied these rumors, stating, "I have heard these rumours, but I don’t think it holds any truth. I think people just made a big deal out of it. I honestly don’t know if something of that sort ever happened."

Coming to the professional front, Emraan is currently promoting his latest web show, Showtime. Recently the makers shared part 2 of season 1 on Disney+ Hotstar. The show also stars Naseeruddin Siddiqui, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Mouni Roy, among others.

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.
