The film deals with violence by a minor against another minor. Kareena was asked about what she feels about it, especially as a mother to sons, Taimur and Jeh. Kareena Kapoor Khan said, Its the responsibility of the boy and man as well. I am a mother of two sons and, of course, I am terrified because as a mother, you want to do your best. You want to protect them. You want to also show them that they are responsible. So, the only thing I keep praying for is that men should be more kind. The perception is that girls are always sensitive. But thats not always the case. There are men and boys who today have no fear of being sensitive and crying in front of a girl or their mother. I always tell my son, If he wants to cry, he should go ahead. He has to experience that and he has to know (what it feels like). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Kareena added, There were some scenes in this film which would just automatically choke me. Theres a scene which I have done with my fellow co-star (pointing at someone in the audience); its also my favourite scene in the film. Meghna is not allowing me to say anything more! But it touches upon the belief that galti hamesha ladki ki hi hoti hai. You have to see that scene to understand the way Meghna has written it and the way she has communicated it. (It was so powerful that) I didnt need any glycerine. I just remembered the lines. I was naturally kind of very disturbed and choked. Daayra releases in cinemas on September 18.

Although Varma did not name any film in his lengthy post on X, his comments come amid ongoing comparisons between Ranveer Singhs Dhurandhar The Revenge and Yashs Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown Ups. The comparison between the two films began after both were initially scheduled to release on the same date in March. While Toxic was subsequently postponed and eventually released last week, discussions comparing the two films have continued. Ram Gopal Varma praises Dhurandhars characters Sharing his thoughts on Dhurandhar The Revenge, Varma highlighted what he believes makes the film connect with audiences. Drawing a comparison with his own 1998 crime drama Satya, he wrote, What every film maker should understand from #dhurandhar is that it is full of living, breathing characters who seem as real as you and me sitting and watching in the theatre, hence making it highly relatable. He added, Satya is about gangsters, but be it Bhiku Matre, Kallu Mama or Vakil Mule, they all look as real as anyone real. Dhurandhar took this to another level. Varma went on to describe realism as the key takeaway for filmmakers, particularly when working on big-budget projects. That is the only lesson worth stealing for all film makers which the one most expensive films refuse to learn, he wrote, before referring to James Camerons Titanic as an example of a large-scale production that invested in making its world appear believable. Dhurandhar does not treat its hero as a walking poster The filmmaker also praised the way Dhurandhar handles its central character, arguing that the protagonist does not always have to dominate every scene. Dhurandhar does not treat its hero as a walking poster who must be worshipped at all costs. He can be non existent in the room. He can wait tables, listen instead of speaking, miscalculate, get dirty, get smaller in front of more smaller characters, Varma wrote. He further praised the film for allowing its supporting characters to exist independently of the protagonist. The politician, the cop, the cousin, the juice shop friend none of them feel hired to decorate the star. They feel like people who would still be there whether the hero was there or not, he said. According to Varma, this approach makes the audience more invested in the world rather than simply waiting for the next hero-elevation moment. What every film maker should understand from #dhurandhar is that it is full of living, breathing characters who seem as real as you and me sitting and watching in the theatre, hence making it highly relatable. Satya is about gangsters, but be it Bhiku Matre, Kallu Mama or Vakil Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) August 31, 2026 The other films swagger Without naming the film or films he was referring to, Varma then contrasted Dhurandhar with what he described as a different style of filmmaking. The other films swagger. Have fog and slow motion that lasts longer than the characters inner lives. The women are not people.. they are functions arranged around the same gravitational centre so that the centre never has to become a living real person, he wrote. He also criticised what he sees as the overuse of visual style and artificial intensity, saying, In the other films, violence is just a spectacle minus context. Attitude is the plot. Style arrives first and th n searches for a reason. Varma further argued that some films prioritise the visual presentation of their stars over character development. The camera does not observe, it advertises. Editing does not cut time, it manufactures fake intensity that was never in the writing, he stated. You do not leave knowing a single thing about him as a human being Varma concluded by returning to the importance of character-driven storytelling. He compared the characters in Satya and Dhurandhar with the unnamed films he was criticising. Satyas gangsters could have existed on a real Mumbai street. Dhurandhars Lyari men feel like they have already lived for many years before the hero came there, he wrote. He then added, The other films heroes feel assembled in a look test. You leave knowing the heros hair, the heros walk, the heros catchphrase. You do not leave knowing a single thing about him as a human being. Varma ended his post by reiterating what he considers the difference between immersive filmmaking and spectacle-driven cinema: Dhurandhars director trusts the audience enough to put living people on screen and let them feel as much as the protagonist . The hero feels as much pain as the villain . One is cinema that cuts into flesh. The others are cinema that pose for the camera.

Sonali, who is 51, portrayed the older character opposite Salman, who is now 60. In a recent interaction with SCREEN, the actress opened up about how she came to accept the challenging part. Sonali revealed that she initially questioned whether she was the right choice for the role. During the casting process, she felt she cant be playing this role. However, director Ali Abbas Zafar and casting director Mukesh Chhabra were very sure about casting her and explained why her character was important to the films narrative. She said, The flashback meant everything to that film. Thats how Bharat gets his name and reacts to situations. No director or casting director would like to fit in a wrong person somewhere. That would be a failure on their part also. So, I tried to understand that. So, I took it up as a challenge. Sonali said it took a lot of convincing before she agreed to play the part. Apart from the creative challenge, she admitted that the opportunity to meet and work with Salman was also a temptation for her. Recalling her experience with the actor, Sonali said, We bonded very well on the sets of Bharat. One can learn from him to treat people well. He was ever gracious. And he scored a point when he gave me his cycle to ride. The actress also revealed that she was paid well for the role. She added that most of her scenes were with the child artiste who portrayed the younger version of Salmans character. Released in 2019, Bharat starred Salman Khan alongside Katrina Kaif, Sunil Grover, Jackie Shroff, Disha Patani and Tabu. Directed and co-written by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film was a box-office success. Meanwhile, Salman has Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, earlier titled Battle of Galwan, and the yet-to-be-titled SVC63 in his upcoming lineup.

Following the success of Stree 2, the actor took on the lead role in the survival thriller, which presented him in a different genre and required him to carry much of the films emotional and narrative arc. Reflecting on the shift in his career after Stree 2, Abhishek said, Stree 2 jaisi commercial film ke baad, meri agli film thi Stolen. It was a completely different space and a different genre. So, I think that also worked for me where people saw that I can take responsibility of a film on my shoulders and be with it till the last point. I am leading a few interesting projects and Im enjoying this journey. Directed by Karan Tejpal, Stolen revolves around two brothers searching for a kidnapped baby, with Abhishek playing Gautam Bansal. The film premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 7, 2023, before its release on Amazon Prime Video on May 10, 2025. The thriller also travelled to international film festivals, including those in Beijing, Japans Skip City and Zurich. The actors upcoming projects continue to span different genres and formats. He will next reprise his popular character Compounder in Mirzapur: The Movie, which is scheduled to release on September 4. The film brings back several characters from the Mirzapur universe, including Divyendu Sharmas Munna Tripathi, while Abhishek returns with the characters familiar Ustara. Beyond the Mirzapur franchise, Abhishek is also part of Lust Stories. He is set to make his Tamil debut with an upcoming Netflix series featuring R. Madhavan, Nimisha Sajayan and Gulshan Devaiah. The actor also has an action drama opposite Tiger Shroff in the pipeline. Directed by Remo DSouza, the project is expected to explore a more action-oriented space. In addition, Abhishek has a psychological thriller with TVF lined up.

The show, which recently focused on the developing relationship between Siddhu and Sneha, is now gearing up for a dramatic turn involving Madhu, played by Priya Bhardwaj. In the recently released promo, Madhu meets with a major accident, following which Durgawati, portrayed by Indira Krishnan, holds Sneha responsible for her condition. Durgawati subsequently asks Sneha to leave the house and Siddhu and tells Siddhu to sever his relationship with Sneha. The sequence has already had an emotional impact on the actors and crew. Amandeep Sidhu and Sheizaan Khan, who recently filmed the scenes surrounding Sneha and Siddhus confrontation, revealed that they became emotional while performing the sequence. According to Sheizaan, even members of the technical crew were affected while filming the scene. Talking about Snehas decision to accept Durgawatis demand despite believing that she is not responsible for Madhus condition, Amandeep said, Sneha has always been someone who stands her ground when she knows she is right. But this time, despite knowing that she is not responsible for what has happened, she chooses not to defend herself. Seeing what Durgawati is going through as a mother, what Siddhu is going through as a brother, and the pain the entire family is facing, Sneha feels that proving herself right is insignificant in comparison. So, when Durgawati asks her to leave, she quietly accepts her decision and even makes Siddhu understand her perspective. After all the love and lighthearted moments that SneDhu fans have seen recently between Sneha and Siddhu, this track is going to come as a big emotional surprise. Sheizaan, meanwhile, spoke about Siddhus dilemma as he finds himself caught between his relationship with Sneha and his concern for his sister. He said, Siddhu has always been sure of one thing, that no matter what, he will never leave Sneha, and he has even gone against his mother several times to stand by her. But this time, with his sister battling for her life and Durgawati going through an emotional turmoil while believing Sneha is responsible for Madhus condition, Siddhu finds himself conflicted... While shooting the said scenes, Amandeep and I actually broke down, and even our DOP told us he was crying while filming the scene. Just like the fans, Im also waiting to see what Siddhu does this time, will he let Sneha go because of Durgawatis decision, or will he find a way to save their relationship? The upcoming track is expected to test Siddhu and Snehas relationship as Durgawatis decision threatens to separate them. After their recent romantic progression, the new storyline will introduce a conflict that could significantly alter their equation. Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan airs every day at 9 pm on Zee TV.

The upcoming film marks the theatrical transition of the popular franchise and is set to bring its established characters and world to cinemas on September 4, 2026. With the series having already completed three seasons, one of the key challenges for the makers was creating a feature film that could offer something new to existing fans while also functioning as a standalone cinematic experience. During an interview, Sidhwani was asked what Mirzapur: The Movie could do in a theatre that the series could not, particularly given the challenge of fitting the franchises extensive story into a three-hour feature. Explaining the approach, he said, We are taking an IP created as a series and turning it into a feature film. We have seen the reverse happen many times, where films are turned into series. So, in a way, we are breaking the format again and trying something different. Mirzapur has a very loyal fan base, and we are giving those fans something new to experience in theatres. We are essentially saying, You already love these characters. Now come and experience them in a completely different way. Sidhwani further explained that the film does not attempt to compress the three seasons of the series into one theatrical outing. Instead, the makers developed an untold chapter set within the timeline of the first season. He said, The idea was to take an untold chapter from Season 1 (between two or three episodes) and bring it to the big screen. We also wanted to bring back beloved characters, including Munna Bhaiya and others who were no longer around by Season 3. The first challenge was to tell a story without affecting the narrative of the later seasons. Secondly, we had to ensure the film didn't feel like three stitched-together episodes of the series. It had to work as a film, with its own beginning, middle and end. It needed its own midpoint, emotional journey and payoff so that audiences could enjoy it as a complete story without affecting Season 4, which will follow. However, if anyone has not watched any season of the series, he/she would still be able to enjoy the film. The films theatrical format is being positioned as a new way for audiences to revisit the Mirzapur universe, while retaining its established characters and tone. The return of characters such as Munna Bhaiya has further added to the anticipation surrounding the film. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment, with Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani serving as co-producers.

Wangchuk addressed the comment during his appearance on Prakhar Guptas podcast, where he was also shown a T-shirt featuring Salmans picture along with the now-famous line. During the conversation, Wangchuk was asked whether he was aware of Salman Khans comment. As the T-shirt was handed to him, the activist smiled before sharing his reaction to the actors remarks. Majbooriyan hoti hongi sabki. Aage peeche, daayen baayen dekhna padta hai. Lekin unhone kuch kaha uski main izzat karta hoon (Everyone must have their own compulsions. You have to consider all sides and look at the situation from every angle. But I respect whatever he has said), Wangchuk said. The remark comes months after Wangchuk went on an indefinite hunger strike at Delhis Jantar Mantar. He had extended his support to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which had called for the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. During his protest in Delhi, police shifted Wangchuk to a hospital, where he continued his hunger strike. Around the same period, Salman Khan took to X to address the student protests over the NEET paper leak. The actor expressed his support for students coming together to demand improvements in the education system. A day later, he appealed to the protesting students to end their demonstration and also urged Wangchuk to call off his hunger strike. Salman even offered to send him homemade food. The students are at top priority, educationally n security-wise, so they need not worry and have their parents worried for them. The Honorable Prime Minister has tweeted, and I am sure that he will take strict action against all those people who are responsible for this leak. So pic.twitter.com/89Ykfs5r4k Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) July 23, 2026 His Sonam, its done bro remark subsequently went viral online and became the subject of memes and social media reactions. Wangchuk has now responded to the comment without directly criticising the actor, instead acknowledging that people may have their own circumstances while maintaining that he respects Salmans statement.

The actress was speaking at an event titled In Solidarity With Nepal, organised in association with Sadhgurus Isha Foundation. Addressing the situation faced by the country, Manisha said that Nepal would have to gather its strength and move forward despite the challenges. She stated, All I know is that when we are faced with a problem, we have no choice but to overcome it. We have nothing else to do but collect all our strength and take baby steps forward. And that is what our nation will do. That is what our people will do. The actress also highlighted the larger concerns surrounding climate change and global warming, calling for India, China and Nepal to work together to address the challenges posed by environmental crises. Manisha said, We are facing the brunt of global warming. What should be our next step? I request that we, as human beings, our great neighbours, China, India, Nepal, somehow join hands in this and do something collectively. We are so linked with each other. And to try and avoid something like this. I hope and pray. Without making sense of this disastrous moment, we become better people. We help others just like we'll help our own. Beyond immediate assistance, Manisha also emphasised the importance of tourism for Nepals recovery. She appealed to people from across the world to continue visiting the country rather than allowing the natural disaster to define its image internationally. Other than this, I want to request all the international communities... I pray that your love and support continue. We, as a nation, need people to come to our country. We don't want to be known as 'Oh, this country is full of disasters'. We need you all to travel. Yes, there's a calamity in Tibet and Nepal border. But tourism is a breath, she added. Manishas comments come at a time when Nepal continues to deal with the impact of the floods. Through her appeal, the actress stressed the need for solidarity from neighbouring nations, continued international support and the restoration of tourism as the country works towards rebuilding and recovery.

That is what happened after Urvashi Rautelas appearance at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival drew comparisons with Gigi Hadids much-discussed 2023 Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla ensemble. Now, designer Sandeep Khosla has shared his candid reaction to the controversy. Speaking to NDTV on August 29, Khosla addressed Urvashis Cannes look and said he had recently come across social media posts discussing its resemblance to the outfit originally created for Gigi Hadid. Just the other day I was seeing, there's a lady called Urvashi Rautela, I think, who wore a copy of ours, of Gigi Hadid... and there was an influencer doing a whole post on how you can get an original Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla outfit made where Urvashi got it made, he said. Khosla questioned the practice of reproducing a designers work without bringing a distinct creative perspective to it. Calling Urvashis outfit an exact copy, the designer also questioned the role of influencers in encouraging such reproductions. Firstly, Urvashi is wearing an exact copy of our garment without a thought. Either she has no exposure, or she has too much exposure. And then, the person (influencer) is actually encouraging the copies to happen, which I find really... there has to be at least some difference, or do some... it should be a take of an artist themselves to do something else. Also, that's called very easy fashion, Khosla said. He further spoke about the larger issue of plagiarism in fashion and suggested that those who choose to replicate existing designs should at least bring something new to the table. If you want to plagiarise and you want to copy, make a better version of what we are doing, the designer added. Why Urvashi Rautelas Cannes saree drew comparisons with Gigi Hadids look Urvashi made her appearance at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in an ivory saree featuring a chikankari-inspired aesthetic. She paired the traditional drape with a heavily embellished gold blouse featuring intricate detailing that gave the outfit a jewellery-like appearance. The ensemble quickly drew comparisons with the ivory and gold Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla creation worn by Gigi Hadid in March 2023. The supermodel had worn the bespoke ensemble for the grand opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai. Gigis original look featured intricate hand embroidery and reportedly took around a year to complete. Urvashis Cannes outfit, meanwhile, was created by Mihir Designer Studio and drew criticism from some social media users for resembling the earlier creation.

Reflecting on the experience, Avika said the show has changed the way she looks at life, fear, challenges and situations beyond her control. Taking to Instagram, the Balika Vadhu actor spoke about the difference between watching a stunt from the comfort of home and actually being in the middle of a high-pressure challenge. She admitted that she sometimes finds herself wondering whether she could have performed better had she been in the same situation. Theres something Ive realised about myself while watching Khatron Ke Khiladi after my elimination. I catch myself thinking, If I were there, I wouldnt have given up. I would have pushed harder. I would have done better. Basically, sitting comfortably on my sofa, suddenly Im an expert Khatron contestant. And then I remind myself: Im watching from the comfort of my own life. I know the outcome. I know what happens next. Im not actually in that moment, with the pressure, the fear, the adrenaline, and a stunt staring me in the face. Its very easy to become the hero of a situation from the outside, she wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avika Gor (@avikagor) Avika also acknowledged how difficult it has been to move on from her early elimination. When something matters deeply to us, we replay it, imagine different choices, and create a version of the story that never happened. And sometimes, our imagination gives us a much better performance than reality ever got the chance to. Maybe thats why being eliminated so early has been difficult for me to completely let go of. Somewhere inside me, theres still that girl who believes, I had so much more to give. This marked Avikas second appearance on Khatron Ke Khiladi. She had previously participated in the ninth season at the age of 21. Comparing both experiences, she said the show had a different lesson for her this time. I went in thinking I was there to face fears and perform stunts, but I came out understanding myself a little differently. Coming back this time meant so much because, perhaps, a part of me wanted to meet that younger version of myself again and maybe finish something that had always felt unfinished. But this time, Khatron is teaching me something very different. Avika further reflected on accepting outcomes that cannot be changed. The first time, Khatron changed my perspective on who I was and what I wanted to become. This time, it is teaching me how to live with what I cannot control. During her elimination stunt, Avika competed against Orry. She completed the challenge in more than 13 minutes, while Orry finished in just under 10 minutes, resulting in her exit from the show. Hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 15 features celebrities including Rubina Dilaik, Rithvik Dhanjani, Farhan Bhatt and Karan Wahi, among others.

Since its premiere, the film has drawn attention for its layered narrative, grounded storytelling and performances, particularly that of Nimisha Sajayan, who plays suspended police officer Babita Singh, also known as Baby. The story begins with Baby investigating the murder of her childhood friend. However, as she searches for answers, the case gradually becomes more than a pursuit of the truth. Her professional investigation intersects with her personal struggles, family relationships and questions about her own identity. The film uses the investigation as a backdrop to explore a womans gradual journey towards understanding herself and making choices for her own life. Executive Producer Sudip Sharma, who has previously been associated with cop dramas such as Paatal Lok and Kohraa, explained what made Babita Singh Reporting different from the other stories in the genre that he has worked on. He says, It was a very well-written script, which is rare to find. The script was like gold, something so good coming from Amita Vyas. But what really set this cop story apart from the other cop stories Ive done was that, while it is about a female cop, more importantly, it is about her as a person and as an individual. Babita has so many roles in her life- she is a wife, a daughter-in-law, and she has always put those roles ahead of her own professional ambitions and goals, choosing to think about herself later. What I found beautiful about her journey was watching her take that first step towards listening to herself and making decisions based on what she believes is right, irrespective of what others think. These may seem like small steps, but they are incredibly important because, with each one, she moves closer to understanding herself. That balance between wanting to find the truth and, in the process, finding yourself was what I found so powerful and beautiful about the story. Directed by Ambiecka Pandit and written by Amita Vyas, the film focuses on Babys internal transformation alongside the murder investigation. Her roles as a wife and daughter-in-law, along with the expectations placed on her, have often taken precedence over her professional ambitions. As the story progresses, she begins to listen to her own instincts and take decisions based on what she considers right. Produced by Saurabh Malhotra, Manuj Mittra and Tina Tharwani under Film Squad Productions, in association with Act Three, the film features Barun Sobti and Anshumaan Pushkar in pivotal roles. Executive produced by Sudip Sharma, Babita Singh Reporting is now streaming exclusively on Prime Video.

The couple marked the milestone with an intimate celebration at their home in London before continuing the birthday festivities with a visit to Disneyland. The first birthday was celebrated in the presence of close family members, with the couple choosing to keep the occasion centred around family and creating memories with their daughter. Following the gathering in London, Nidhi, Binoy and Sitara travelled to Disneyland for a special birthday experience. A particularly meaningful part of the trip was Sitaras stay in Disneylands iconic Cinderella Suite. The location has a personal connection to Nidhi, who had previously stayed in the same suite during her babymoon while she was pregnant with Sitara. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nidhi Dutta (@nidhiduttaofficial) Returning to the suite a year later, this time with her daughter, added a sense of continuity to the celebrations. What began as a stay during Nidhis pregnancy became a family memory as she and Binoy marked Sitaras first year in the same setting. The Disneyland visit also gave the family an opportunity to celebrate the occasion away from their regular routine, with the birthday getaway combining the milestone with the couples family time. For Nidhi and Binoy, Sitaras first birthday marked an important moment in their journey as parents. From a private celebration at their London home to the Disneyland experience, the couple chose to commemorate the occasion through a series of family-focused celebrations. The birthday festivities brought together the personal significance of Sitara turning one and Nidhis earlier memories of her pregnancy, with the return to the Cinderella Suite making the Disneyland visit particularly special for the family. The celebrations also offered the couple an opportunity to document their daughters first birthday through experiences and time spent together.

Prithviraj Sukumaran entertained the audience as he narrated how he came on board Daayra. Prithviraj Sukumaran began by saying, I was offered Daayra when I had said yes to a very big film in South India S S Rajamoulis Varanasi. Hence, I knew that in the months ahead, I wont have time to do anything else other than the films I was doing in Malayalam cinema and Varanasi. But when Meghna Gulzar asks for a meeting, I presume any actor in this country would definitely meet her! Hence, I met her and prepared myself to very politely decline her offer. Prithviraj continued, She narrates the film very, very well. I heard her narration and told myself, Oh, damn! I cant say no to this. Then, I asked her, Who is playing Ajuni?. She replied, I am hoping that Kareena would play that role. I told myself, Now, I have to say yes to this film (smiles). Thats how I came on board and I am so happy that I did this film. Prithviraj Sukumaran raised laughs as he stated, Meghna Gulzar is one of the nicest human beings I have met and one of the toughest filmmakers I worked with! I have had many arguments with her. But the thing with Meghna is that she never fails to answer a why. And I ask a lot of whys! Every time she asks me to do something in a particular way, Ill ask her, Why do you want me to do it that way?. And then she would have this really specific answer with such clarity that I would walk back and think, I am also a filmmaker. I should also be similarly equipped!

Several female actresses have played the role of police officers in the recent past, but Kareena Kapoor Khan assured that her portrayal of a cop stands out. Kareena Kapoor Khan explained, My character in Daayra is very sure and sensitive. I wont say shes assertive as such. She knows what shes doing, particularly when it comes to this situation that theyre handling in the film. So, shes not a typical butch cop. Shes a pretty cop also. Meghna Gulzar added, Shes a cop who wears lipstick. Because women like wearing lipstick! Kareena Kapoor Khan added, Just because youre a cop, you dont have to be a particular way. We have kept her feminine slightly because as women, we have to own who we are and we are proud of who we are also. So, regardless of whether or not youre a cop or whether youre wearing a trouser, it doesnt mean that you have to become the ab-main-mukka-maarne waali hoon type of a person! Kareena Kapoor Khan remarked, The way Meghna has written Ajuni has given me more darja in my life. I feel that, as a mother, as an actor. It has stayed with me.

The film deals with violence by a minor against another minor. Prithviraj Sukumaran was asked what he feels about it as a father. Prithviraj Sukumaran said, We are not worried just as parents. I am worried as a husband, as a friend to someone, as a responsible citizen of this country and yes, as a father as well. Unfortunately, as citizens, what can we do other than get worried and be hopeful? Yes, the film speaks about a very ugly truth within which society today exists, and we are all part of that society. Prithviraj added, I have an 11-year-old daughter. I am at that uncomfortable stage as a parent where now I have to start talking to her and letting her know about what is safe and what is unsafe. If we were to live in an ideal world, we would never have that conversation. But we do not live in an ideal world. But what can we do as citizens other than talking to our children? He continued, Make no mistake, the conversation should not just be with your girl children. It should be equally and vociferously with boys as well. I strongly feel that if theres an extra ounce of responsibility on any side, it is with us, the men. We are the ones who should carry the torch to make sure that this conversation is spoken about. Daayra is about two characters on opposite sides. On this, he opined, You really cant take a side. The side is just that of justice. We are having this conversation because theres a problem with the deliverance of justice. We are living in a system where the deliverance of justice is so cumbersome, so slow and so drawn out that it is humanly understandable that we sometimes lose hope in it. That needs to be addressed. In terms of justice, there are no two sides to it. He exulted, I just hope for a day and time when the deliverance of justice is faster, more coherent and does not come with years and years of waiting for it to arrive.

The track delivers a high-octane celebration of culture and community, engineered to bridge cross-generational demographics by seamlessly reimagining traditional Marathi folk textures into a fresh, contemporary global soundscape. The rapper-entrepreneur grounded the rollout in raw, regional realism. The accompanying music video was filmed entirely on location in the heart of Maharashtra- Kolhapur, capturing the vivid pulse of local everyday lifefrom bustling wedding processions to street-level daily wage earners and the gritty spectacle of mud wrestlers training in a traditional akhada. Elevating the video's star power, Marathi actress Neha Khan makes a high-energy feature appearance. To guarantee absolute cultural authenticity for his grand regional debut, Badshah assembled a powerhouse cross-genre coalition. The track enlists Bollywood playback mainstay Divya Kumar alongside renowned Marathi folk icon Nagesh Morwekar. Backed by a dynamic musical ensemble and steered by hit-making producer Hiten, the collaborative effort masterfully fuses raw, indigenous folk elements with Badshahs signature, stadium-ready commercial energy. Musically, the song cleverly intertwines traditional folk poetry with explosive hip-hop bars. The track opens with the classic rural hookline, Ek chimna chiv chivla / majha sajan jaga zhala ho / surya ugavla (A sparrow chirped, my beloved woke up, the sun has risen). Badshah then seamlessly blends it into explosive hip-hop bars packed with localized flavour, dropping verses like dance kar rahi dekho maushi maushi /nacho jab tak subah chidiya bole. Proudly claiming his new regional identity and making his stamp on the space official, Badshah brings the track to a climax by signing off with a direct nod to his local fans: Tumcha mulga Badshah (Your boy Badshah). Badshah states, India's regional music is a goldmine and I want to celebrate every corner of it. 'Chimna' is my love letter to Maharashtras rich creative canvas. I am incredibly grateful for how this project turned out, and this ones dedicated to all my day one Maharashtrian fans!

Directed by Harish Vyas, the film also stars Soni Razdan, Samta Sudiksha and Ayesha Kapur in key roles and brings to the screen one of the oldest rivalries known to mankind, father vs son. At its heart, Om Ka Hari is a story about a relationship where love is often the hardest thing to say out loud. This is First Ray Film's 5th production and it tells the narrative about a stubborn father (Hari Prasad Sharma) in Bhopal and his independent minded son (Om Prasad Sharma) - their conflicts which begins in Bhopal and culminate in Varanasi. The father-son dynamic is as old as family itself: the son who wants to break free, the father who believes he knows what is best - generational divide. And about irrespective of which one of them wins, the rest of the family loses. Om Ka Hari finds its emotional core in that timeless tug-of-war, the oldest rivalry of them all, father vs son, and asks a simple but deeply difficult question: What if we could finally tell our fathers that we love them? And what if they could tell us too? For Harish Vyas, the film also brings a larger cinematic journey to its emotional conclusion. Om Ka Hari completes his trilogy of films exploring love and the importance of expressing it. His debut feature, Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain with Sanjay Mishra, Pankaj Tripathi, Ekavali Khanna and Anshuman Jha, explored the importance of saying I love you to your partner, even after decades of marriage, reminding us that love cannot simply be assumed; it needs to be expressed. Speaking about the film and completing this trilogy, director Harish Vyas says, I think all three of my films have been about love, but about different kinds of love and, more importantly, about the things we struggle to say. Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain was about reminding a husband and wife that after 30 years of marriage, you still need to say I love you. Hum Bhi Akele-Tum Bhi Akele was about discovering love in friendship. And Om Ka Hari is perhaps the most personal and universal of the three about a father and son who love each other deeply but have forgotten how to say it. There is no rivalry older than father vs son. And I have two of the finest actors from their respective generations take on the title roles. We fight, we challenge each other, we carry expectations and hurt, but underneath all of that is love. Sometimes, all it takes is saying it. The film marks the third collaboration between Harish Vyas and Anshuman Jha, following their previous films, Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain and Hum Bhi Akele-Tum Bhi Akele. This further strengthens their actor-director partnership. With Jha and Raghubir Yadav at its centre, Om Ka Hari brings together two generations of performers for a story that moves seamlessly between conflict, humour, tenderness and reconciliation. Adding to the films emotional and nostalgic appeal is its music soundtrack, which features songs by the legendary late Asha Bhosle, Amit Kumar, Paresh Pahuja and other celebrated voices. The music forms an integral part of the films world, complementing its themes of memory, relationships and the passage of time. The film has also had an encouraging festival journey, with its World Premiere at Stuttgart in 2025, followed by its Australian Premiere at IFFM Melbourne, North American Premiere at CSAFF, and its Indian Premiere at the Closing Gala at Red Lorry Film Festival. Produced by First Ray Films, Om Ka Hari releases theatrically on September 18, 2026.

Directed by Gurmmeet Singh, it stars Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Pankaj Tripathi, Jitendra Kumar, Ravi Kishan, Rasika Dugal, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, among others. The film is special since it is based on the web series Mirzapur, which is a big hit on OTT. It has had three successful seasons on Amazon Prime Video. The film is expected to take a strong opening. It is widely believed that Mirzapur The Movie is the first film in India to be based on a web series that will have a release in theatres. However, that is not quite the case. The Bengali web show Eken Babu, which streams on HoiChoi, has so far had nine seasons from 2018 to 2026. In between, the makers also came up with three theatrical films based on the series named, The Eken (2022), The Eken: Ruddhaswas Rajasthan (2023) and The Eken: Benaras E Bidhishika (2025). The fourth film The Eken: Keralay Kurukkhetro is scheduled to release this year. This isnt the only Indian web series to have been made into a theatrical film. In 2018, the Punjabi web series Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree became one of the most loved shows in the language after it streamed on YouTube. Following the success and popularity of its two seasons, the makers of the show announced a theatrical film on the show also titled Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree in 2025. Interestingly, the film released in theatres just earlier this month on August 7. Therefore, web shows like Eken Babu and Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree had theatrical films based on them much before Mirzapur The Movie, which is slated to release on September 4.

With his distinctive voice and powerful stage presence, Sonu Nigam will treat audiences to some of his most iconic Bollywood blockbusters, including Kal Ho Naa Ho, Saathiya, Suraj Hua Maddham, Main Agar Kahoon, Tumse Milke Dil Ka, Sandese Aate Hain and many more. Expressing his excitement about returning to North America, Sonu Nigam said, This will be my third tour in three years across North America, and that makes this journey particularly special for me. I have performed in many of these cities before and have seen the incredible love and energy that audiences bring to my shows, but every time I return, I feel even more loved. This time, I want to make the concerts bigger and truly memorable for everyone who comes to see me. This tour is also my way of saying thank you and expressing my gratitude for all the love I have received throughout my musical journey. There are familiar cities, familiar faces and so many memories, but there is also the excitement of creating something new together. I am really looking forward to being back on stage, singing the songs we have shared over the years and experiencing that energy with the audience once again. Speaking about the tour, Karl Kalra, Founder of B Live Events, said, This is my first collaboration with Sonu Nigam, and it makes this tour particularly special.
