Last month was significant for Shweta Tripathi as her film, Mirzapur The Movie, crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark, surprising the trade and industry. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the talented and bubbly actress spoke about it and a lot more. Shweta Tripathi began by saying, It once again proves that mehnat karte raho. My love and respect for the audience has gone up, especially the way they have turned up in cinemas. This film is a hug to them. For 8 years, they have given us so much love. We have become household names thanks to them. This means a lot. She revealed, While I was going to TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), the immigration official, a man with two children, told me, Aapka style bahut accha hai. Aap jo kapde pehente ho, woh ekdum alag hai. I was so happy that a man with two kids was appreciating the clothes I wear! It made me realize that people notice everything you say and everything you wear. And when you do things with intention, it does come back to you. Coming back to the blockbuster, she said, A lot of thought went into Mirzapur. We ensured that we gave our best during pre-production, while shooting and also during post-production. We wanted the audience to have fun. Gurmmeet Singh, our director, always tells us, Film karte hue maza aana chahiye aur audience ko dekhte hue mazaa aana chahiye! We focused chiefly on that and thats why the audience gave us so much love. She added, I went to watch the film with my friends and the way people were hooting and shouting, it felt so good. The aam junta was lapping it up, but even some of my friends who stay abroad were having a blast in cinemas. Shweta then stated, Many were asking why a film on Mirzapur was being made. This is the reason it deserves a community viewing experience. And then it ends with Sajanva; it felt like a party! Hence, when we listen to our emotions, things do work. Also, the audience is intelligent and loving; they are ready to give you love. She insisted, Audiences must support the kind of stories they want to see. And with Mirzapur, they have done that. All my films used to get critically acclaimed. Now, it was exciting to have my film playing on thousands of screens. Many viewers did remark that she had lesser screen time. Shweta Tripathi explained, I expected that reaction because we were aware of how the story unfolds. I also wanted to see more of Golu! But as actors, we need to serve the story. This film is set between Episodes 6 and 7 of Season 1. Its when Golu is prepping for the college elections. So, I dont want things to get compromised because of my greed as an actor. Future plans When asked whats next, Shweta Tripathi said, I am prepping for a play which will be staged on November 12 as part of the Prithvi Theatre Festival. Its directed by Rajit Kapur. I am at a stage in life where I am hungry for wisdom, knowledge and craft. Hence, my focus right now is on reading, watching and learning (smiles). She signed off by saying, We rehearse for the play every day for three hours. Also, I am happy to know that the writing for Season 4 of Mirzapur has already begun!

The ongoing competition in Rise and Fall 2 took a tense turn during a high-intensity Workers task after Sara Gurpal suffered a forehead injury while attempting to secure a win for her team. Despite the injury, the contestant continued participating in the challenge, but the Workers eventual loss led to a heated confrontation between Sara and the Penthouse contestants. The task put the Workers under pressure as they were required to collect gunpowder under specific conditions. The quantity collected and the formations created during the challenge played a role in determining the final outcome. Sara participated aggressively, putting considerable effort into the task as she attempted to help her team. Her performance was also noticed by fellow contestants. Niharika and Gautam Gulati were among those seen acknowledging Saras commitment during the physically demanding challenge. However, the task also resulted in an injury for Sara. While wearing a helmet and racing against time to collect gunpowder, the protective gear reportedly caused friction on her forehead, peeling the skin and leaving her with a visible wound. Despite being in pain, Sara continued with the task instead of stepping away. She did not pause for medical intervention until the challenge had concluded, maintaining her focus on the task and her team. The Workers, however, were ultimately declared the losers. The decision did not go down well with Sara, who questioned the verdict and its evaluation of the effort put in by her team. Her disagreement soon led to a heated exchange with Shehzad Poonawalla, with Sara calling out what she considered a biased decision. As tensions escalated, Sara also expressed her disappointment with the Penthouse contestants over their assessment of the Workers performance. Questioning their lack of empathy despite witnessing the teams efforts throughout the task, she said, They saw the way we were playing the task, and yet they didnt show any mercy. The incident added another layer of tension to the ongoing dynamics between the Workers and Penthouse contestants, with the task highlighting the increasingly competitive atmosphere inside Rise and Fall 2.

The makers of Main Na Raha Mera, presented by T-Series, have released their latest song, Shayad, featuring Adhyayan Suman and Divita Rai. The romantic track brings together composer Rahul Nair, lyricist Dev Pandey and singer Rekha Bhardwaj, whose distinctive vocals add an emotional layer to the song. Shayad explores the emotions that often remain unspoken in a relationship, including uncertainty, longing and vulnerability. Rather than taking a larger-than-life musical approach, the song unfolds through a relatively intimate treatment, allowing its melody and lyrics to carry the emotional weight. Adhyayan Suman and Divita Rai feature prominently in the songs video, bringing the romantic tracks central emotions into its visual narrative. Their presence forms an important part of the song as it explores feelings that can be difficult to articulate. Rekha Bhardwajs voice is another key element of Shayad. Known for her distinctive vocal texture, the singer brings a lived-in quality to the composition, allowing the lyrics to retain a personal and intimate character. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Talking about the song, Rekha Bhardwaj said, For me, a song like Shayad is about finding the emotion within the words and allowing it to come through honestly. There is a certain vulnerability in the way the lyrics have been written, and Rahuls composition gives that emotion a lot of space. I wanted the voice to feel as though someone was actually speaking from the heart. What I particularly liked about the song was its simplicity. Adhyayan Suman added, Shayad is very special to us because it captures emotions that are not always easy to express. Rahuls melody and Devs lyrics have come together beautifully; and having Rekha ji sing it gives the song a soul of its own. I hope audiences connect with what we have tried to convey. Main Na Raha Mera is written and directed by Amit Kasaria, with Dharmesh Sangani serving as producer and Johari Tailor as co-producer. Shayad is now available on streaming platforms, while its music video is exclusively available on the T-Series YouTube page.

Mustafa Burmawala, who made his Bollywood debut with Machine alongside Kiara Advani, is set to return to the big screen with 3 Monkeys. Directed by filmmaker duo Abbas-Mustan, the upcoming thriller recently began its promotional campaign with the release of its first poster and teaser, offering a glimpse into the world of its central characters. Mustafa has been introduced as Akbar in the film, while Vishal Jethwa plays Amar and Tenzin Dalha portrays Anthony. Arjun Rampal is also part of the cast and will be seen as Sanjay. While the promotional material introduces the key characters, details about their motivations and the larger storyline have largely been kept under wraps. For Mustafa, the opportunity to work with Abbas-Mustan forms an important part of his association with the project. Speaking about 3 Monkeys, the actor said, Im really excited to be a part of 3 Monkeys, especially because it is an Abbas-Mustan film. They have created some of the most memorable thrillers, so getting an opportunity to work with them is very special for me. This film has a very interesting and different thriller story, and Im sure audiences are going to enjoy the twists and turns. Im really looking forward to seeing how viewers react to it. The teaser opens with the familiar imagery of the Three Wise Monkeys before introducing Amar, Akbar and Anthony as three masked men. The footage suggests that the characters are involved in a potentially dangerous situation, while also presenting moments that indicate a more playful side to the trio. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mustafa Burmawala (@themustafab) The films central concept draws from the familiar philosophy of Bura Mat Dekho, Bura Mat Suno, Bura Mat Bolo, while giving it a contemporary interpretation through the line, Sab Dekho. Apni Suno. Bekhauf Bolo. Abbas and Mustan, speaking exclusively to us about the film, said, There is much more happening behind those masks, and that is the mystery we want audiences to discover in cinemas. At this stage, the makers have not disclosed the complete premise of 3 Monkeys. The promotional material leaves open questions about what Amar, Akbar and Anthony are involved in, with the possibility of a robbery, heist or a larger conflict remaining part of the mystery surrounding the film. 3 Monkeys is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on December 4, 2026.
