Himesh Reshammiya had a conversation with Komal Nahta and opened up about the rise of AI and the need to keep pace with changing times. Himesh said, AI is changing the music industry. Today, there are 7 lakh singers. Tomorrow, there may be 50 lakh singers. So, there would be growth but it would come with its set of challenges; itll be about how you reinvent that will matter. When asked if he uses AI, Himesh replied, Mere music producers ne kabhi kuch AI use kar liya, toh kar liya. However, AI helps us get references for scripts and for poster and costume design. It helps in creating motion posters as well. If people feel that AI wont replace humans, they are wrong, according to me. But that would also benefit us. Himesh Reshammiya revealed, I remember the song Odh Li Chunariya was recorded on 2-inch (referring to 2-inch tape). Then when we started recording the song on analogue, we thought ki gaana thin ho gaya. I spent 3 days during the mixing to correct the thinness. Jab aaj main who gaana sunta hoon, mujhe koi farak hi nahin lagta. Of course theres a difference, but it's negligible. However, progress cant be stopped. Its inevitable. Himesh Reshammiya continued, We shot Khiladi 786 (2012) on film. At the same time, a film was being made and it was shot on digital. It was a very big film at that time. We realized that we unnecessarily spent a crore more because Kodak pe shoot kiya tha. Humko lagta tha ki Film hi right hai; digital wrong hain. Today, everything is being shot on digital. Hence, progress will happen. Similarly, AI will also become a part of our lives. It's important that we use it for our betterment. I dont think AI will be able to do justice to the emotions and emotional connection with the audience. For that, the human mind will be necessary.

Himesh replied, Mr Bhushan Kumar, the Taurani brothers (Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani) and Ratan Jain. They have deep knowledge. Incidentally, all three are associated with leading music companies. Bhushan Kumar heads T-Series, the Taurani brothers own Tips, while Ratan Jain heads Venus. Himesh Reshammiya was then asked to name heroes who are musically conscious. He replied, Of course, Salman Khan for sure. Hes very, very conscious and 100% Mr Akshay Kumar too.

You had many more films and many years to go. Prayers and strength to the family. kunal kohli (@kunalkohli) October 31, 2026 Will always miss you, Sanjay bhai. The memories of our time together on the sets will always stay close to my heart. https://t.co/elnUQqDBaH sonu sood (@SonuSood) October 31, 2026 Deeply saddened and shocked by the untimely demise of Sanjay Gupta Sir, a powerhouse filmmaker we all loved and respected. Gone far too soon. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. Om Shanti. https://t.co/zQjgK021EM Neil Nitin Mukesh (@NeilNMukesh) October 31, 2026 Dia Mirza went on to add a long post for the filmmaker which read, He is so alive in my memories today. Its difficult to comprehend that he is no longer with us. Sanjay Gupta was a passionate filmmaker, an encyclopaedia of cinema, one of the most well-read, effortlessly stylish and deeply knowledgeable filmmakers I have known. I had the privilege of working with him on Dus Kahaniyaan, Shootout at Lokhandwala, Acid Factory, and another very special film inspired by the book Tuesdays with Morrie, which sadly never saw the light of day. I remember his extraordinary knowledge of cinema, his passion for storytelling and the sheer joy with which he spoke about films. But perhaps one of his greatest legacies will be the opportunities he created for so many young and emerging filmmakers. He believed in giving new voices a chance to tell their stories. Many of those he encouraged and empowered have gone on to become celebrated filmmakers themselves. What a beautiful legacy to leave behind. To not just tell stories, but to make it possible for so many others to tell theirs. The news of his passing has left us all shaken. How does one reconcile the memory of someone so vividly alive with the knowledge that they are suddenly gone? My heart goes out to Anu, their children, his family and everyone who loved him. May God give them the strength to bear this unimaginable loss. Rest in peace, Sanjay. Your stories, your generosity and the lives you touched will continue to carry a part of you forward. Om Shanti. Gupta was known for films such as Aatish: Feel the Fire, Kaante and the Shootout series, which helped establish his signature approach to crime dramas and stylised storytelling. His work left a distinct mark on the genre, with his films continuing to be remembered by audiences and industry colleagues alike. As the film fraternity comes together to mourn his passing, the tributes reflect not only on his body of work but also on the personal connections he built over the years.

Pratik Gandhi, Maniesh Paul, Sameera Reddy and Atul Khatri are set to take viewers on a family holiday through Singapore with The Great Indian Family Holiday: Singapore Edition. Created by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), the four-episode travel series began streaming exclusively on JioHotstar on October 31, 2026. It follows the four celebrities and their families as they explore the destination through a range of activities and experiences. The series features Pratik Gandhi travelling with three generations of his family, Maniesh Paul exploring the city with his children, Sameera Reddy enjoying the trip with her husband Akshai Varde and their family, and comedian Atul Khatri discovering Singapores food scene alongside his family. Across the episodes, the families visit attractions and locations including HyperDrive, Chinatown, Mandai Rainforest Adventure, Singapore Oceanarium and the Peranakan Museum. Their itinerary also features Wings of Time in Sentosa, alongside experiences involving wildlife, adventure activities and local cuisine. Commenting on the initiative, Serene Woon, Area Director, India, Middle East and South Asia, Singapore Tourism Board, said, Indian families don't just want a holiday - they want moments they'll still be talking about years later. Singapore is that kind of place. It's a city that surprises you, where three generations can each find something that feels made just for them, yet also come together over experiences that bring the whole family closer. Through this series, we wanted to show that side of Singapore - not through a brochure, but through real families, real moments and the kind of joy that simply can't be scripted. If even one family watches this and thinks, 'that could be us', we've done our job. The participating celebrities also spoke about their experiences during the trip. Pratik Gandhi said, As a family, we don't often get the chance to experience so many new things together, especially across three generations. In Singapore, seeing everyone from the oldest to the youngest enjoy themselves in their own way was probably the most special part for me. There were so many firsts, and I think that's what made this trip different. The bee experience and the Circle of Trust really stayed with me. I didn't expect these to be the moments I'd keep thinking about, but they gave me a chance to pause and reflect, and we're still talking about them. To be able to share these experiences with my family, the people I'm closest to, made them even more meaningful. I think we've come back with something really precious: memories that all of us, across generations, will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Maniesh Paul and his wife Sanyukta Paul highlighted the mix of adventure and family time, saying, As parents, we're always aware of how quickly the kids are growing up, which makes time like this together even more precious. Singapore gave us the best of both worlds, from adrenaline-filled adventures at HyperDrive and Universal Studios Singapore to quieter moments surrounded by nature and wildlife at Mandai Wildlife Reserve.

Alia Bhatt celebrates Halloween with Tumbbads iconic Hastar mask, sparks excitement around Tumbbad 2
Alia Bhatt brought a touch of Indian folklore horror to her Halloween celebrations this year by posing with the iconic mask of Hastar from Tumbbad. The actor shared a picture of herself with the mask on social media, accompanying it with the caption, Happy Halloween and the hashtag #HastarForHalloween. Her post has caught the attention of fans, with many drawing a connection between the festive moment and the growing anticipation around Tumbbad 2. Released in 2018, Tumbbad gradually developed a strong following for its distinctive blend of folklore, horror and fantasy. Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, the film followed Vinayak Raos obsession with wealth and his encounters with Hastar, a mythical entity associated with a cursed treasure. Its atmospheric storytelling and visual treatment helped it acquire cult status over the years. The film returned to theatres in 2024, finding a fresh audience and recording a notable box-office performance during its re-release. Its renewed popularity also brought greater attention to the possibility of expanding the world of Tumbbad, with the sequel now among the projects generating curiosity among fans of the original. Tumbbad 2 is being produced under the banner of Sohum Shah Films, with Sohum Shah returning to headline the franchise. The upcoming period mythological horror drama is expected to build on the world established in the first film, with the story reportedly moving beyond Vinayak Raos pursuit of gold and exploring themes surrounding immortality and ancient supernatural forces. The sequel is also expected to feature an expanded ensemble cast and a larger scale, while continuing to draw from Indian folklore. The narrative is said to carry forward the legacy of Vinayaks son, Pandurang, taking the story into another chapter of the cursed village and its mysteries. With the original films re-release introducing its unsettling world to more viewers, Tumbbad 2 is being positioned as the next instalment in the franchise. The sequel is currently targeting a worldwide theatrical release in 2027. Alias Halloween post has offered fans another reminder of the films enduring imagery, particularly the unsettling presence of Hastar.
