Is 'Drishyam 4' on the cards? Here's what Ajay Devgn says
Drishyam The Conclusion had been in the news even before it went on floors, especially after Akshaye Khanna walked out of the film at the last minute. Jaideep Ahlawat then stepped in, giving the makers much-needed relief. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aamil Keeyan Khan, who wrote the dialogues and is also one of the screenplay writers and lyricists of the film, spoke about this aspect. Aamil Keeyan Khan said, Seven or eight days before the shoot was to start, he walked out of the film. When he left, hum log pe bomb phoota tha! The dates of everyone were locked and a new character had to be introduced. We didnt have a choice. There was no time left and we had to change several scenes in the first half and second half. We worked day and night at that time. We had to not just introduce a new character but also raise the stakes. Since so much was happening in the film already, we couldnt lengthen the narrative. And on top of it, we just had seven days to pull it off. It was a major challenge. Thankfully, all went well. The writers also organically established at the beginning of the film that IG Tarun Ahlawat (Akshaye Khanna) was no longer handling the case and that Rajveer Singh Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat) of the Crime Branch had now taken an interest in it. Aamil explained, Yes, we needed to address it. Hats off to Abhishek Pathak. In that situation, any other director would have panicked, but he didnt. The film could have been pushed ahead. In that case, it would not have been easy for him as he was also one of the producers. But he remained calm. He added, What people dont realise is that when something like this happens, its always the little guy who suffers. Do haathi ki ladaai mein hamesha ghaas kuchalti hai. When a film gets postponed, the big names can survive, but what about the hundreds of people whose livelihoods depend on the films shoot starting on time? The dadas, spot boys, lightmen they are the ones who suffer. And it is to Abhisheks credit that he made sure the shoot didnt have to be pushed any further. All the HODs worked really hard to ensure that the train stayed on time. Im just glad it all worked out.

On September 23, the nominations for the 54th International Emmy Awards were announced and, in a significant achievement for India, the SonyLIV series Real Kashmir Football Club bagged a nomination in the Best Drama Series category. The recognition came as a pleasant surprise for the team, who are understandably on cloud nine. Its lead writer and executive producer is Simaab Hashmi, who is also the writer and creative producer of Force 3. The much-awaited action film brings together John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane for the first time. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Simaab Hashmi spoke about Force 3, which is all set to release on March 19, 2027. Simaab Hashmi said, Force 3 is bigger, better and badder than ever before! People are pumped up about the combination of John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane. Seeing them together on the big screen will surely pack a punch (smiles). Simaab was all praise for both John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane. He revealed, In our industry, there is a lot of lip service. A lot of filmmakers claim in interviews, We should support writers. But when you meet them or during narrations, you dont always feel that energy. I was on the set of Force 3 as I am also a creative producer, and I saw how collaborative both John Abraham and Harshvardhan Rane were. They are such nice people and genuinely care about what the director and writer have to say. I tell people, Both of them have spoilt me and director Bhav Dhulia! They were so welcoming and warm towards every idea we threw at them. He added, John Abraham has really been a leader who has led the film both as a producer and an actor. As for Harshvardhan Rane, we share such a bond that I call him Harsh bhai. Harshvardhan Rane has had a huge fan following, but box-office success had largely eluded him. That changed last year when Sanam Teri Kasam was re-released and amassed huge numbers. It also gave a boost to his Diwali release, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which emerged as a sleeper hit last year. On this, Simaab smiled and said, It proves that you cant keep a good man down.

Actor, author and adventurer Kubbra Sait recently completed her first-ever Via Ferrata summit while on her period. Sharing pictures from the challenging climb, the Sacred Games and Farzi actor reflected on the experience and spoke about resilience, adaptability and trusting ones body. Kubbra described the climb as a physically demanding experience that also gave her an opportunity to reflect on what the human body can manage in challenging circumstances. In her post, she highlighted the importance of stepping outside familiar situations and taking on difficult experiences. Reflecting on the lesson she took away from the climb, Kubbra wrote, Trust your feet. She noted that while people often discuss change, prepare for it and try to understand it, real transformation comes from putting oneself in unfamiliar situations and facing challenges. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kubbra Sait (@kubbrasait) The actor also shared her thoughts on deliberately choosing difficult experiences. She pointed out that life can bring unexpected challenges without warning, and believes that voluntarily taking on hardships can help people develop the mental and emotional resilience needed to deal with uncertainty. Kubbra also revealed that her 69-year-old mountain guide has been climbing for more than four decades. She added that even young children have completed the route, a realisation that made her reflect on how fear can sometimes appear bigger than the challenge itself. Her experience also brought attention to the way menstruation is often viewed as a reason to avoid physically demanding activities. By sharing her own experience of completing the climb while on her period, Kubbra highlighted how the body can adapt to demanding situations. Concluding her reflection, Kubbra encouraged people to face challenges instead of avoiding them. Her message focused on trusting oneself, taking on difficult experiences and discovering what one is capable of through them: climb the mountain, trust your feet and do the hard thingyou may discover a version of yourself you never knew existed.

The trade and industry expected Drishyam The Conclusion to open with a bang. Yet, when it collected a huge Rs. 174 crores, it stunned the industry. We asked trade experts about its huge business and what lies ahead. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, I was expecting a huge number from the opening weekend, and the film has actually lived up to those expectations in terms of content as well as numbers. Drishyam, as a brand, has only grown. People loved the first part, but they largely saw it on television and digital platforms. Thus, the fan following grew. So, when Drishyam 2 came out, it already had a ready-made audience. With the second part faring so well at the box office, it laid the foundation for the third part, as far as the numbers are concerned. When the second part opened so big, the third part was bound to be 5 or 10 steps ahead. Thats what has happened. He sighed, At the same time, I feel sad that this series has come to an end. The story and characters resonated with the people. Today, people know the Pav Bhaji joke and the satsang connection (laughs). Also, Goa as a backdrop, the Salgaonkar family, the quest for Meera to take Vijay Salgaonkar to task everything about these films became so memorable. Hence, theres definitely a sense of loss now that the series has come to an end. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, expressed, It was a surprise. I didnt expect it to open the way it did. It is among the biggest openers in recent times. Also, its a film which doesnt have any of the commercial trappings like hit music, romance, comedy, etc. Its a plot-driven franchise with a dash of murder mystery. Its not an ideal family entertainer in the truest sense, though the family values are very strong. Hence, its opening was surprising. The reason probably is that the love for the franchise has become immense. That is what drove the huge ticket sales. People had this trust that theyll have a good time. Trade analyst Atul Mohan said, Yes, it was a pleasant surprise. We expected the film to open in the range of Rs. 40 crores plus. The series has a huge following. In fact, I told Kumar ji (producer Kumar Mangat Pathak) before the release, Congratulations, ab ki paar, 300 paar! Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal confessed, I didnt expect the film to do this much. I was expecting an opening of Rs. 45 crores, but it ended up having a first day collection of Rs. 62 crores. Similarly, I expected a weekend of Rs. 140 crores, but it collected Rs. 175 crores in three days. A collection of Rs. 20 crores on Monday is huge. He also remarked, Drishyam didnt have scope for music and yet it has done so well. If there was scope for music, the film would have done better by 15-20%. Lifetime predictions Trade experts feel that itll have a huge lifetime but not sure if itll collect Rs. 500 crores. Taran Adarsh said, Its a bit too early to say. Udta Teer has been shifted ahead. So, they have an open run and the second weekend will also be fantastic. But on October 16, two prominent films will be up for release Prahaar and Nayyi Navelli. They wont take away all the screens and audiences. But there will be choice for the audience. Lets see if Drishyam is able to put up a tough fight at that point. Nevertheless, the job is done. It has crossed Rs. 200 crores and will move towards the Rs. 300 crore mark. Atul Mohan stated, Rs. 400 crores lifetime is on for sure. The film has 2 open weeks to score. Itll face competition in the third week. But when a film is doing so well, the first preference of the multiplexes is to retain shows of the successful holdover film. So, they would allocate sufficient slots to Drishyam. Raj Bansal opined, I am expecting the film to have a lifetime in the range of Rs. 400 crores and Rs. 450 crores. It can do Rs. 500 crores. However, the pre-Diwali period would kick in. That has a major effect on footfalls, especially in North India. Also, Ramayana will arrive in the first week of November. If it had no such obstacles, it would have a chance in crossing the Rs. 500 crores mark. Nevertheless, itll have a steady run as viewers are loving the film. Vishek Chauhan explained, Its a possibility, but I still believe that genre limitations will kick in. Yes, it has opened well, but will it have enough gas to reach the Rs. 500 crore mark? That remains to be seen. For that, the film should have had a little bit more of commercial trappings to get the audience in. Never say never, but Rs. 350-400 crore finish is definitely on the cards. In fact, Ill be very disappointed if it doesnt do Rs. 400 crores. And if it hits the Rs. 500 crore mark, Ill be very ecstatic. He added, Theres a major advantage that theres no competing film. So, it has an open run for 2 weeks. However, once we hit the Dussehra festivities, people will get a bit diverted. Anyway, whats important is that a film like this collecting Rs. 300-400 crores is simply phenomenal.

Abhishek Bachchan has revealed that Shah Rukh Khan has played an important role in his professional journey and has remained a source of guidance over the years. Ahead of King, Abhishek recalled a piece of advice from the superstar that he received even before making his acting debut. According to him, Khans simple approach was that an actor should consider the film he is currently working on as his favourite. Speaking to BBC Asian Network, Abhishek looked back at the years when he would spend Sundays playing cricket at filmmaker Aditya Chopras house. Uday Chopra, Hrithik Roshan and Sikandar Kher were among those who would join him. Shah Rukh Khan was also around during that time, and Abhishek remembered him as an elder brother to the group. The video was also liked by Hrithik. Abhishek said his equation with Shah Rukh has remained strong, adding that the actor has continued to support him throughout his career. Talking about Khans involvement in his professional journey, he said, literally taken personal responsibility several times now, including in King as well. Abhishek also recalled a conversation with Shah Rukh before he entered the film industry. He had asked Khan which film was his favourite. The superstar replied, My favourite film is the film I am doing right now. Because if that is not my favourite film, then why am I doing it? So, what I am doing right now has to be my favourite. What has happened in the past is the past. I don't think about it. Right now it is King. The advice has stayed with Abhishek and continues to influence how he looks at his work. Meanwhile, King is directed by Siddharth Anand and backed by Gauri Khans Red Chillies Entertainment along with Siddharth and Mamta Anands Marflix Pictures. The action thriller features Shah Rukh Khan alongside Suhana Khan, who will make her theatrical debut with the film. She plays a young protege trained by Shah Rukhs veteran assassin. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhay Verma, Jaideep Ahlawat and Arshad Warsi. Recent reports have also suggested that Kareena Kapoor Khan could reunite with Shah Rukh for a dance number in the film. King is scheduled to release worldwide in theatres on December 24, 2026. Abhishek was last seen in Kaalidhar Laapata on ZEE5, directed by Madhumita.

There is a distinctive charm to an Aanand L Rai film, and with Nayyi Navelli, Rai backs yet another unconventional story with a difference, this time bringing a bigger canvas, larger-than-life characters and an all-out dose of entertainment to the big screen. The highly anticipated film from Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow brings together family, fantasy, action, humour and plenty of masala, promising an unabashed big-screen family entertainer designed for audiences to experience together. Set against the backdrop of a madcap family and an extraordinary turn of events, the film blends the warmth of family dynamics with fantasy, mystery, action and unexpected twists, creating a larger-than-life theatrical experience for audiences across age groups. Speaking about the strong female characters in Nayyi Navelli and the real-life influences that shaped them, Aanand L Rai shared, Many of the characters we have created are inspired by the people we have seen around us. If I speak about my mother, my wife, or Himanshus mother, we have all grown up seeing strong women within our families. These are the personalities who have held us together, given us strength, and shaped who we are. That influence has always stayed with us, and it is reflected in this film as well. He further added, I was telling Yami that, Youre such a good student and such a fighter, I feel like theres so much I can learn from you. So, these are not characters that we have simply created from our imagination. They are inspired by the women we see around us, the women whose strength and individuality we experience every day. This film is, in many ways, a thank you to all the women around us. Headlined by Yami Gautam Dhar in a never-before-seen avatar, Nayyi Navelli brings to life Indias very own fantasy family-entertainer, packed with masti, mystery, action and all-out masala entertainment. Arriving in cinemas across India on 16th October, ahead of Dussehra, the film is geared up to bring fun, fantasy and spectacle to the festive season, offering audiences a quintessential family outing at the movies. Directed by Balaji Mohan and written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, the film also stars Addinath M Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vasisth, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee, Prateek Pachori, Akshat Singh, Babita Pandey, Ajay Pal and Neeraj Singh in pivotal roles.
