Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, is arguably the most awaited film of the year and the excitement is increasing with each asset that the makers are presenting to the audience. The first part, Pushpa: The Rise - Part 01, was a huge hit across the country and the lead character and his mannerisms became a rage. As a result, there’s a lot of hope for the sequel. Realizing the potential of the second installment, the makers are leaving no stone unturned. And in a unique move, Pushpa 2: The Rule is all set to be released in Bengali. It is the first Pan-Indian film to have a release in the language. Usually, Pan-India films, until now, have had a release in five languages, namely Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Pushpa 2: The Rule breaks the record as it’ll be released in as many as six languages in India. This was confirmed by popular music composer Devi Sri Prasad. In an interview with Mid-Day, he revealed, “[In this edition], the story continues from where part one e

Ranveer Singh is adding another exciting project to his already packed slate. Following Singham Again and Don 3 already on the cards, and rumours of him portraying the superhero Shaktimaan, reports claim that he is collaborating with Prasanth Varma, the director behind the recent box office success, HanuMan.

Imran Khan is set to make a grand return to Bollywood after a hiatus of nearly nine years.

Aamir first introduced Imran to the silver screen as a child artist in the 1988 film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Two decades later, in 2008, Aamir Khan Productions launched Imran as a leading man in the successful rom-com Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na.

Shraddha Kapoor is gearing up for a busy year! After a single release in 2023 with the romantic comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, the actress has several exciting projects in the pipeline.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), as is well known, often heavily comes down on explicit intimate scenes even after passing films with an ‘A’ certificate. As a result, moviegoers in India, who ventured out to watch the latest Hollywood release Challengers, were stunned to see that two intense sex scenes were left untouched by the Censors. The film stars Zendaya, of Spider-Man, Dune and Euphoria fame, and is also one of the producers of the film, which also features Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist. The film caught the attention of viewers across the globe last year when the first teaser dropped depicting Zendaya having a threesome with Josh and Mike. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The CBFC’s Examining Committee didn’t touch this much-talked-about scene. Moreover, another intimate scene, between Zendaya and a male actor, is much more explicit. It even features Zendaya wearing a see-through bra. There were fears that there would be a repeat of what happened during Oppe

Best known for films like Style and Excuse Me, actor Sahil Khan, who is now an influencer, has been arrested by the Mumbai Police in connection with the Mahadev betting app case. The arrest was made by the Mumbai cyber cell’s Special Investigating Team (SIT) in Chhattisgarh after the court rejected the pre-arrest bail plea, followed by asserting that Khan is the co-owner of the app. Previously, the SIT had summoned Sahil and three others for questioning in December 2023, but he failed to appear. Followed by that, he applied for a pre-arrest bail which has now been rejected by the Bombay High Court. Despite several allegations were made against the Style actor in regards to the app, Sahil denied any direct involvement with the betting platform and continued to assert that he was merely a brand promoter endorsing The Lion Book brand under contract with M/s. Isports247. However, the police has decided to stick with their allegations that he was a co-owner of the app, following which he i

The firing incident at Galaxy Apartment has been undergoing significant developments lately.

Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor recently opened up about her journey of adjusting to the changes that occurred after the birth of her son Vaayu. Known for her confident and self-assured demeanor, Sonam shared that while she has always embraced herself for who she is, the experience of gaining 32 kilos post-childbirth was quite traumatising for her. On the podcast Fashionably Pernia, the actor candidly discussed the changes she made in her fashion choices after giving birth. Sonam said, Sonam said, “I gained 32 kilos. Honestly, initially I was traumastised. You are so obsessed with your baby, you are really not thinking about working out, eating right. It took me a year and a half. I took it really slow, you have to be slow because you have to adjust to the new you.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Sonam A Kapoor (@sonamkapoor) She added, “Everything in your life changes.

Bollywood Hungama has been consistently reporting about the release schedule of Dev Patel’s acclaimed film Monkey Man in India. Initially scheduled for a release on April 19, it was pushed due to delay in getting a clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Meanwhile, reports came in that Monkey Man has been banned in the country. Bollywood Hungama debunked this rumour last week and added that the CBFC members are yet to see the film. Monkey Man had a release in most markets on April 5 and earlier this week, it was made available on Amazon Prime Video in international markets on rent. As expected, high quality, pirated prints flooded the internet following the rental release. As per reports, Warner Bros and Universal Pictures, the local distributors of the film, tried their best to pull down links. X, formerly, Twitter, even sent copyright violation notices to those who shared the Google Drive link of the film. But the damage is down. Monkey Man is freely availabl

Filmmaker Priyadarshan has confirmed that he is reuniting with Akshay Kumar after 14 years. The duo had worked together on Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The filmmaker said that they will be working on a horror fantasy film with elements of humour. The project will be backed by Ektaa R Kapoor. Priyadarshan told Hindustan Times, “Now that I am done with my docu-series on the Ram Mandir’s history, my most important film on which I am beginning work is the one with Akshay, produced by Ekta Kapoor. It is a horror fantasy with humour.” When asked if it's like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the filmmaker said,  “That was a psychological thriller, but this one will be fantasy, in the backdrop of black magic, the oldest superstition of India. It is always a pleasure collaborating with Akshay. From our first film to this one, it has always turned out well with him, he handles the emotions so well. I was waiting for a good subject to get back with him, and this one I feel will be that.” Meanwhile, Aks

The era of multiplexes brought a lot of positive changes. It gave moviegoers an opportunity to watch diverse content and also provided them with plush seats, superior sound systems and visual quality. On the flipside, viewers were forced to pay through their nose for the tickets and also snacks. The other disappointing factor in multiplexes, especially those run by PVR, is the number of ads played before the film and during the interval. It’s common for shows to start 10 to 15 minutes late as viewers are compelled to see ads and trailers that they are not really interested in. However, now things are about to change for the better. As per a report in Money Control, the length of the ads slotted during a show has been cut from 35 minutes to 10 minutes. The 25 minutes of time saved, as a result, in each show will be utilized by the multiplex chain to add more shows in a day. As per the new arrangement, patrons won’t be bombarded with ads during intervals. Instead, they’ll only be shown

Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh has found himself embroiled in a disturbing trend as he became the latest victim of deepfake technology. A recent viral video purportedly showed Singh endorsing a political party, raising concerns about the manipulation of digital content using artificial intelligence. The deepfake video, which circulated widely online, utilized genuine footage from Singh's visit to Varanasi but replaced his voice with an AI-generated replica. This deceptive technique has become increasingly prevalent, allowing individuals to create convincing yet fabricated videos that can misrepresent public figures and spread misinformation. In response to this incident, the Maharashtra police's cyber cell has taken action by registering an FIR against an individual identified as @sujataindia1st for allegedly uploading the deepfake video.

She wrote, “I have even seen my name on a mainstream television channel ticker saying I had performed a medley of songs for Dawood.” The former actress further added, “Considering that even my children think my dancing skills are akin to watching a WWF match between a lone wrestler and gravity, the news channels should have known that Dawood would have chosen more skilled performers.
