Velvet has long been associated with evening dressing, but the fabric is getting a fresh menswear update as Bollywoods leading men experiment with colour, tailoring and texture. From Ranveer Singhs classic black three-piece to Sidharth Malhotras striking teal suit, the latest celebrity looks show how the traditional silhouette can be styled with distinctly individual personalities. Heres a closer look at the velvet suits making a statement. Ranveer Singh Ranveer Singh brings his characteristic flair to classic black velvet. His three-piece suit retains the traditional structure of the silhouette while allowing the plush texture of velvet to take centre stage. The monochromatic palette keeps the look rooted in classic formalwear, while the actors styling adds his familiar sense of theatricality to an otherwise timeless combination. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh) Ahaan Panday Ahaan Panday opts for a dark maroon velvet three-piece that combines old-school formalwear references with a more contemporary sensibility. The deep hue gives the suit a rich finish, while the sharp tailoring keeps the overall look streamlined. The choice of maroon also allows the actor to move beyond the more predictable black and navy options associated with evening suits. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anisha Jain (@theanisha) Sidharth Malhotra Sidharth Malhotra experiments with colour in a teal velvet three-piece suit. Sitting between blue and green, the shade gives the classic formal silhouette a more distinctive character without taking it too far away from traditional tailoring. The rich fabric further accentuates the colour, resulting in a look that balances classic structure with a contemporary palette. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Malhotra (@sidmalhotra) Vijay Deverakonda Vijay Deverakonda goes back to the classic appeal of black velvet with a structured three-piece suit. The fabric adds depth to the monochromatic ensemble, while the clean silhouette keeps the overall styling polished. His look demonstrates how texture can add visual interest even when the colour palette remains deliberately understated. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vijay Deverakonda (@thedeverakonda) Karan Tacker Karan Tacker takes a more dramatic approach with his velvet three-piece suit. The rich colour and sharply tailored silhouette make the ensemble stand out, while the traditional construction keeps the look firmly within formalwear territory. It is a take on velvet that relies on colour and tailoring rather than elaborate detailing to create impact. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Tacker (@karantacker) Together, these looks highlight the versatility of velvet in contemporary menswear. Whether styled in classic black or richer shades of maroon, teal and red, the fabric is proving that the three-piece suit can move beyond conventional formal dressing while retaining its polished appeal.

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.

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.

Drishyam The Conclusion has arrived in cinemas, bringing the story of Vijay Salgaonkar, played by Ajay Devgn, to its concluding chapter. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film brings back several members of the franchise cast, including Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor and Kamlesh Sawant, while also featuring Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj. The release marks the latest chapter in a franchise that has continued to build on the world and characters established in the earlier films. Ahead of the release, the film also recorded significant pre-release ticket sales as audiences booked their seats for the conclusion of Vijay Salgaonkars story. Star Studio18, which has been associated with the franchise, has reflected on the evolution of Drishyam from an individual film into a continuing film property. Alok Jain, Head Hindi & English Entertainment (Streaming, TV & Studios), JioStar, spoke about the studios involvement in developing the franchise. At Star Studio18, we saw the potential of Drishyam from the very first film. We believed this was a story that could resonate strongly with Hindi audiences, and backed that belief with creative, marketing and distribution efforts to build it into a franchise. More than a decade and three films later, Drishyam has grown into one of the most loved franchises, and an enduring IP that audiences have truly made their own. Were incredibly proud to have been part of that journey and to see the world and its characters become so deeply embedded in popular culture. Jain also discussed the creative challenge of continuing a franchise that comes with an established audience and expectations. He said, With a successful franchise comes both an advantage and a responsibility. Audiences come in with familiarity and expectations, but you cannot simply recreate what worked before. With every Drishyam, our focus has been to give audiences something new, exciting and unpredictable, while staying true to the emotion and characters they have grown to love. The audience has always been at the centre of this franchise, and that has guided us through every chapter. Drishyam The Conclusion carries that same responsibility to deliver a fitting finale to a story and a world that audiences have made their own. Drishyam The Conclusion is directed by Abhishek Pathak and written by Abhishek Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Kamlesh Sawant, Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav, among others. Presented by Star Studio18 and produced by Panorama Studios, the film is produced by Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. Drishyam The Conclusion is currently playing in cinemas. Also Read: Drishyam The Conclusion Evening Box Office Update: Film jumps to Rs. 33.50 cr nett by 5 PM; occupancy at 52%

For people of todays generation, veteran actor Raghubir Yadav is known as Pradhan ji from the long-running web show Panchayat. Recently, he played a character completely opposite of that in Hunkkaar The Roar. But the actors biggest and first claim to fame was the 1989 Doordarshan TV show Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne, directed by Prakash Jha. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, when this writer told him that his first memory of him is Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne as a kid, Yadav jokingly said, Aap bade ho gaye lekin main abhi bhi chhota hi hoon (laughs). On a more serious note, he said, Back then, I had just passed from NSD (National School of Drama). I then went to the Repertory Company. After leaving from there, I did Massey Sahib (1986), which was my first film. Then I got this serial (Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne). I realized that there was a lot to do for an actor while playing this character. So, I accepted it. Recalling the work culture of the old Doordarshan days, Yadav said, Everyone was working sincerely on the show. I enjoy working sincerely and this is also my weakness. In those days, there was a lot of hard work put in in every department. There were only 26 episodes of Mungerilal but people still remember the show. The reason for this is that everyone used to work unitedly as a team. Director, writer and others used to work together. There wasnt an atmosphere of business back then. Yadav pointed out that the situation worsened later on when daily soaps came into the picture. Later, a lot of channels came in, he said. People started factories of TV shows. The whole situation started worsening. They started factories and started selling products. There was no proper culture. I have seen all of that. Yadav has played various characters in his decades long career. About his selection criteria over the years, he said, It should be something I have never done before. It should challenge me. I dont enjoy if I am able to do it easily. It should give me sleepless nights (laughs). Doobne mein maza aata hai mujhe. When asked how he looks back at his enormous journey of over four decades, the veteran said, I just kept on learning. I didnt think about reaching any goal because once you achieve it, its the end for you. I just felt like learning and having fun with it.

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, the makers of Gandhi and My Mother have unveiled a series of pictures from the upcoming film. The images offer a glimpse into the period setting of the project and its visual treatment, while introducing audiences to the world created by filmmaker Sudhir Mishra. Produced by Narendra Hirawats NH Studioz and Anubhav Sinhas Benaras Mediaworks, Gandhi and My Mother is directed by Sudhir Mishra. The film features Manoj Bajpayee, Waheeda Rehman, Divya Dutta and Saurabh Shukla in pivotal roles, along with other members of the cast. Set against the backdrop of Mahatma Gandhis life and legacy, the film explores a personal side of the historical figure.

The newly released pictures reflect the films period setting and give a look at the characters and environments recreated for the narrative. The visual glimpses also indicate the importance of the era in which the story is set. The makers chose Gandhi Jayanti, observed every year on October 2, to share the first set of pictures from the film. The occasion marks the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and provides a context for the unveiling of the images from a film centred around his life and legacy.

Comedian and actor Zakir Khan opened up about his experience of moving from Indore to Delhi and the cultural differences he encountered while trying to establish himself in the capital. During a candid conversation with Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi on Double Date, Zakir spoke about being judged for his appearance, clothes and background, and recalled experiencing what he described as a condescending attitude. Talking about his initial experience in Delhi, Zakir said the move came with a huge cultural shock. He recalled how peoples perceptions, according to his experience, were influenced by factors such as a persons appearance and the kind of clothes they wore. He also said that he felt people did not take him seriously until he had established himself. When we went to Delhi, we went through a huge cultural shock. What colour you are, what kind of clothes you wear, it makes a big difference to them. Until you establish yourself, they tend to treat you like a joke. Their tone itself is condescending. I faced that in Delhi, but I didnt face it in Indore. They have this particular tone Tere ko toh koi nahi mila hoga (You probably wouldnt have found anyone anyway). Zakirs comments offered a glimpse into an early phase of his journey, as he navigated a new city while finding his place professionally and personally. He contrasted his experience in Delhi with his time in Indore, where he said he did not encounter the same treatment. The conversation later shifted to another side of Zakirs personality when Angad Bedi spoke about his interest in cricket. Zakir explained that he deliberately avoids discussing certain subjects when he is deeply passionate about them, citing advice he received from his grandfather. I never talk about music and cricketers. Because my grandfather told me, when you're too passionate about something, shut your mouth. Because people won't indulge. You don't realise that everybody is getting bored. Neha Dhupia then joined the conversation with a playful question, asking Zakir, So youre not passionate about Delhi girls? To this, Zakir simply replied, No. The episode of Double Date also features former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan, with Zakir and Irfan discussing their respective journeys, interests and experiences with hosts Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi. Zakir Khan is currently also a participant on Rise and Fall Season 2, streaming on Amazon Prime Video and MX Player. His Double Date conversation brings out a more personal side of the comedian as he reflects on the experiences that shaped his journey from Indore to Delhi and beyond.

Gondhal: India's Oscar entry to have exclusive previews from October 9
There are actors who become synonymous with action, actors who build their identity around romance, and stars whose names immediately evoke spectacle. And then there is Ayushmann Khurrana, who over the years has almost created a genre of his own: films built around ideas that sound outrageous when reduced to a single sentence, but somehow become warm, funny, relatable mainstream entertainers once he steps into them. That is precisely why Udta Teer feels interesting even before its release. Ayushmann plays a Pakistani spy who loses his memory and finds himself caught in a situation where his identity, loyalties and understanding of who he really is are thrown into complete chaos. On paper, it is a premise that could easily have become a dark espionage thriller or an intense geopolitical drama. Instead, Udta Teer turns the situation into a patriotic comedy-filled caper, combining action, confusion and absurdity. And suddenly, you find yourself thinking: isn't this exactly the kind of film Ayushmann Khurrana was born to headline? In fact, there was a period when describing an upcoming Ayushmann film to somebody almost became an entertaining exercise in itself. A young man is a sperm donor, but the film is actually a love story. A soon-to-be-married man suffers from erectile dysfunction, but the film is a family comedy. A young man's middle-aged parents unexpectedly become pregnant, but their embarrassment becomes one of Hindi cinema's most endearing family entertainers. A prematurely balding man desperately tries to hold on to his confidence and his idea of attractiveness. A small-town performer discovers that his ability to speak in a woman's voice can become a profession, and eventually, a recipe for complete chaos. Now add another sentence to that list: A Pakistani spy loses his memory and begins navigating an entirely different sense of identity. That one line has vintage Ayushmann Khurrana written all over it. What made films such as Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Badhaai Ho, Bala and Dream Girl connect was not merely that their concepts were unusual. Hindi cinema has never suffered from a shortage of unusual ideas. The more difficult achievement was making those ideas accessible to audiences that might otherwise have kept their distance from the subjects. Ayushmann became one of the industry's most reliable bridges between the unconventional and the mainstream. His characters rarely enter the screen as superheroes. More often, they are men with insecurities, embarrassments and problems that they would rather nobody knew about. He has repeatedly allowed circumstances to overwhelm his characters, and that vulnerability has been crucial to his appeal. Instead of asking audiences to admire his characters from a distance, his films usually invite viewers to laugh with them, laugh at them and eventually root for them. Udta Teer appears to tap into exactly that quality. More significantly, Ayushmann himself recently described Udta Teer as a return to the kind of content-driven cinema associated with the phase that first brought him widespread popularity. Speaking at FICCI Frames 2026, the actor argued for films that connect strongly with audiences without necessarily depending on inflated budgets or scale. In that context, his excitement about Udta Teer acquires greater significance. Because perhaps what audiences have missed was never simply Ayushmann doing comedy. It was Ayushmann taking a concept that another actor might consider too strange, too awkward or too difficult to categorise, and turning precisely that strangeness into the film's biggest selling point. That distinction is important. At his best, Ayushmann does not appear to choose movies according to conventional genre definitions. He appears attracted to the question at the centre of them. What happens if the hero is a sperm donor? What happens when a son discovers his parents are expecting another child? What happens when society's obsession with physical appearance collides with a young man's rapidly disappearing hairline? And now: what happens when a spy forgets the very identity on which his mission depends? The answer could make Udta Teer much more than another comedy arriving in cinemas. It could mark the return of the particular brand of Hindi entertainer that Ayushmann helped popularise: the high concept film whose poster makes you curious, whose trailer makes you wonder how anybody came up with the idea, but whose emotions remain recognisably Indian and mainstream. There is another advantage Ayushmann brings to such material: he rarely appears embarrassed by the absurdity of the premise. He commits to it. That conviction is why the phrase Ayushmann Khurrana film came to mean something beyond merely a movie featuring Ayushmann Khurrana. For a while, it described a particular kind of theatrical experience: a provocative idea without the heaviness normally associated with a provocative idea; a social observation without turning the film into a lecture; an imperfect hero without sacrificing star appeal; and comedy emerging from circumstances rather than being bolted onto them. With Udta Teer, those ingredients appear to be coming together again, only this time against the colourful backdrop of spies, borders, mistaken identity, action and madness. And perhaps that is the most exciting thing about the film. Udta Teer does not seem to be asking Ayushmann Khurrana to transform himself into somebody else's idea of a Hindi-film hero. It appears to be doing something far more promising. It is allowing Ayushmann Khurrana to be completely, unmistakably Ayushmann Khurrana again.

Swara Bhasker recalls harrowing experience with filmmaker: He kept asking me for a hug
Swara Bhasker, who is currently participating in Rise and Fall Season 2 on Amazon Prime Video and MX Player, recently opened up about a disturbing experience she said she faced after being signed as the leading lady of a film. A video of the actress discussing the incident with fellow contestants on the reality show has been circulating on social media. Recalling the experience, Swara spoke about the period following Tanu Weds Manu, which she described as her big lead film. According to the actress, she was signed for a project that required a 56-day shooting schedule. She alleged that the filmmaker initially began sending her poetry about her appearance after telling her that directors must love their actors. This was just after Tanu Weds Manu, my big lead film. It was a film that I was the heroine of, and we had to shoot for 56 days. First, he told me that directors must love their actors. Then he started texting me poetry about my looks. I was polite about it, she said. Swara then recalled an incident involving a romantic scene that she was supposed to perform with the films leading man. She said the director insisted on rehearsing the scene privately with her first. Swara said she refused and asked that the actor and cameraperson also be present during the rehearsal. I said no, you call the actor, cameraperson, lets all do it together. I was the only woman at the guesthouse we were staying at, she recalled. According to Swara, she later saw the director and cinematographer drinking at the guesthouse. She questioned the circumstances of being asked to rehearse alone with them, saying she felt frightened and decided to leave. Later, I saw the director and cinematographer drinking, and their bottle was half empty. I mean, can you imagine? Why is a young woman, a girl in her early 20s, rehearsing with two drunk men? I was so scared, I left that place as soon as possible, she said. Swara shared a disturbing experience from after Tanu Weds Manu, saying a director allegedly made her uncomfortable by insisting on rehearsing alone with her. Her story was genuinely unsettling to hear. #RiseAndFall pic.twitter.com/t6DFIUsoPo (@Frozen_pratik) October 1, 2026 The actress further alleged that the filmmaker repeatedly knocked on her door at night and asked her for a hug. Recalling the moment, she said, At night, hes constantly knocking on my door; I thought he would break it. When I opened it, he was swaying and asking me for a hug. I said, no, you cannot get a hug. He kept slurring and pushing for it. I told him to his face that hes scaring me. I couldnt do anything more; hes the director of the film, she concluded. Swaras account was shared during her conversation with fellow contestants on Rise and Fall Season 2 which also features many other names from the industry including Gautam Gulati, Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary, Karan Patel, among others.

Ritvik Sahore is set to play Aniket Nikam, son of celebrated lawyer Ujjwal Nikam, in Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, with Rajkummar Rao portraying the lawyer. The film, which recently unveiled its trailer, releases in cinemas on October 16, 2026 and also stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Jaideep Ahlawat. Talking about his role, Ritvik said, It was truly an honour to be a part of Prahaar and get the opportunity to play Aniket Nikam. It is an important part in the film, and it was fun exploring Anikets relationship with his father, Ujjwal Nikam, and how the family stood together through everything. The film also explores the personal life of Ujjwal Nikam while he was busy fighting for justice for India, his family was holding fort and was the support system behind him. While audiences may know Ritvik as the relatable face from Flames, Indori Ishq, Campus Diaries, Jamnapaar and Highway Love, his acting journey began much earlier. He made his debut as a child artist in Ferrari Ki Sawaari (2012) and went on to feature in Dangal (2016), building a versatile body of work across films and OTT. His performances have also earned recognition, including Best Performance at the China International Childrens Film Festival for Gauru: Journey of Courage and Best Actor at the Mumbai International Film Festival for To Remember Me By, while his performance in Ferrari Ki Sawaari earned him a Screen Awards nomination for Best Child Artist. Speaking about what drew him to the film, Ritvik says, A lot of movies have been made around what happened on the night of 26/11, but not many know what went into the courtrooms after, to establish the crimes committed by (Ajmal) Kasab. I feel it is an extremely important chapter that needed to be told. For Ritvik, the experience was also an opportunity to work alongside Rajkummar Rao and director Avinash Arun. It was an enriching experience for me as an actor to work alongside Rajkummar Rao and under the direction of Avinash Arun, two greats of the industry. I am extremely proud of the film and feel blessed that I got to be a part of such an important story, he said. From starting out as a child artist to becoming a familiar face for the OTT generation, Ritvik has steadily built his place across films and digital platforms. With Prahaar, he now brings that journey to another big-screen story one that allows audiences to see a different side of his world.
