Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul, who tied the knot in January 2023, have fueled speculation about expecting their first child. The couple themselves haven't made an official announcement, but a recent comment by Athiya's father, Suniel Shetty, has sparked rumours. During an episode of the dance reality show Dance Deewane, where Suniel Shetty is a judge, the host, Bharti Singh, playfully referred to him as a "cool Nana" (grandfather). In response, Suniel said, "Yes, next season when I come I will be walking on the stage like a Nana." This cryptic remark has ignited speculation that Athiya might be pregnant. Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Athiya is an avid social media user and keeps posting her photos and videos. However, there were no hints of a baby on the way in any of her recent Instagram posts.    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Athiya Shetty (@athiyashetty) Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul reportedly began dating in 2019.

Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who played Mrs Roshan in the popular sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), has taken to social media to express her dissatisfaction with the pace of the legal proceedings following her sexual harassment case win against producer Asit Modi. Jennifer, who exited the show in 2023, had filed a complaint against Modi last year. In a recent video posted on Instagram, she claims victory in the case but alleges the show's production team, Neela Films, is disregarding the verdict. The former TMKOC actress has reportedly met with senior police officials at Powai and Hiranandani police stations, urging them to file a charge sheet against Modi. She has expressed frustration with the delay and threatened a public protest if the charge sheet isn't filed soon. "I have given them an ultimatum," Mistry stated in the video. "If they don't do it quickly, especially the charge sheet work, I don't even know what I will do. It is possible

Earlier this year, the trailer of Monkey Man dropped on the internet and it created a sensation across the world. It is directed by Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire (2009) fame and he also features in the lead role. The action and violence in the trailer and also the treatment caught the attention and generated tremendous excitement. It had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 11 where it received a long standing ovation. The reaction at this film festival further added to the hype. It is all set to release in the USA and other major territories on April 5. In India, it was scheduled to release on April 19. But in the last few days, the assets dropped by Universal Pictures India on social media have stopped carrying the release date. Instead, 'Coming soon' is mentioned. Even on the popular ticket app BookMyShow, the release date of the film has vanished. It has led to fears that the film might not make it on April 19. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The studio w

No Entry sequel, which has been doing the rounds for almost a decade now, is expected to have caused a rift between the Kapoor brothers. While the original, produced by Boney Kapoor, featured Anil Kapoor as one of the leading men along with Salman Khan and Fardeen Khan, the upcoming second installment is expected to have a completely new cast of Arjun Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh, and Varun Dhawan. The producer confessed that Anil was quite upset when his name was not added to star-cast. In a recent interaction with Zoom, Boney Kapoor opened up about how he wanted to give the news to Anil Kapoor, but the news was leaked in the media, which resulted in the latter being angry with his elder brother. “Before I could tell my brother Anil about the No Entry sequel and the cast involved, he got angry as the news was already leaked. It was unfortunate that it was leaked. I know he wanted to be a part of the No Entry sequel, but there was no space. I wanted to explain why I did what I did,” he told

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is seen having a ball this week in Crew, has been roped in for a pivotal role in Malayalam filmmaker Geetu Mohandas’ Hindi-Kannada bilingual Toxic featuring KGF’s Yash in the lead. I also have details on her role. For months now there has been speculation that Kareena was signed in to play Yash’s romantic lead in Toxic. That was misinformation. As we broke earlier, Kiara Advani and not Kareena Kapoor Khan plays Yash’s leading lady in Toxic. Kareena will be seen in another, very powerful role as Yash’s sister. A source clued in to the development, “It is basically a brother-sister story with Yash and Kareena playing inseparable siblings. The director was keen to have Kareena on board in Toxic from the inception of the project. Negotiations were on. Everyone presumed Kareena was being brought into the project as Yash’s leading lady when in fact Kareena was offered a far more powerful role. She has never been seen like this before.” Also Read: Kareena Kapoor Kh

Reports have been abuzz about the return of Imran Khan who has been on an infinite sabbatical from the industry. The actor, of late, has been making many appearances at events, and is often accompanied by Lekha Washington. With Imran recently confirming about his relationship with Washington after several rumours, now we hear that the couple will be living together in Mumbai in the apartment of Karan Johar. If reports are to be believed, Imran Khan and Lekha Washington have rented the Bandra flat of filmmaker Karan Johar for a whopping Rs. 9 lakhs. As per Zapkey, this new residence located in the third-floor of Clefepete apartments boasts of a sea view and is said to be in close proximity to one of the houses which was rented by Aamir Khan earlier.

Is the very talented Sakshi Tanwar a part of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan? Reports surfaced recently claiming she was cast as Yash’s co-star. Sakshi was last seen in the Netflix series Mai. With its stretched-out story of a mother’s revenge on her daughter’s assassins (Sridevi and Raveena Tandon got there first in Mom and Matr) Mai just ended up being a messy melodrama about an angry mother. If it wasn’t for Sakshi Tanwar’s ‘Mum hoge kamyaab’ performance, Mai wouldn’t be worth mentioning. Now we hear that she is playing Mandodari in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan. If Valmiki was still around he would be happy to write another Ramayan about innumerable rumours and lies being spread about director Nitesh Tiwari’s proposed adaptation of the Ramayan. The latest lie about the casting of the Ramayan concerns Ravana’s wife. While Ravana is reportedly played by Yash (no confirmation on this from the actor or the producers) a new “news” report doing the rounds insisted that Sakshi Tanwar is playing

Production giant T-Series has now responded to Reliance Entertainment's claims about non-payment of dues and called it false and bogus. In a public notice, Reliance Entertainment asked T-Series to cough up Rs. 397 crore. However, T-Series, in a statement, said that Reliance Entertainment is violating two judgements of Bombay High Court. In an official statement, T-Series said, “The claims made by Reliance in its public notice are totally false & bogus. Reliance’s claims are also in clear violation of two judgements of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court passed in June 2023 and December 2023. In the first judgment delivered in June 2023, the Hon'ble Bombay High Court has clearly held in favour of Super Cassettes Industries Pvt Ltd (T-Series) - that the long form agreement is valid and subsisting and T-Series shall continue to have the copyright and the right to exploit and distribute the works, which have been listed by Reliance in their public notice.

Pratik Gandhi is currently being seen in Madgoan Express. He is kicked about the film. “It is an out and out comedy with lots of physical and situational humour amongst three friends. I am exploring this genre for the first time on screen. I love comedy and have explored different aspects of comedy on Gujarati stage. But I’m putting myself out there on screen with this genre for the first time and I am excited to see how far I can entertain the audience with this one.” Pratik believes that physical and slapstick comedy is a difficult genre. It requires a strong discipline and a completely objective approach on an actor’s part towards the performance while performing. An actor should know when to stop in comedy. I always wanted to explore this genre and when Kunal Khemu narrated the script I loved it could put my faith on his vision. Hopefully it reaches to the audience and they enjoy it.” Pratik is full of praise for his Madgaon Express director Kunal Khemu. “I have been following an

The much-awaited trailer of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff starrer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was unveiled on March 26 amid much fanfare. The trailer gives you an intriguing glimpse into the team of war heroes and is loaded with mind-blowing, power-packed action stunts.

Now that the trailer has released, action fans just can't wait to witness the stunts unfold on the big screen. While it has been revealed that Prithviraj Sukumaran will be essaying the antagonist, his face continues to be under wraps.

On Sunday, Kangana Ranaut took to her official social media handle to announce her association with the Bharatiya Janata Party, wherein she announced that she will be contesting the upcoming elections as their Lok Sabha Candidate from Himachal Pradesh Constituency. After this announcement came in reports, a member of the Congress party took to the platform to make some derogatory comments on the actress and also posted her photo from one of her bold photoshoots. Quite some time back, Kangana Ranaut had done a couple of bold photoshoots in a white colour corset bralet top, which was reposted by the Congress leader Supriya Shrinate on her Instagram handle. It was followed by a rather nasty comment on the actress’ character which did not go down well with her. Owing to the same, Ranaut raised her voice against such demeaning statements and added, “Dear Supriya ji, In the last 20 years of my career as an artist I have played all kinds of women. From a naive girl in Queen to a seductive sp

Since its inception, Amazon Prime Video in India has delivered several memorable shows, but Panchayat stands out. The show, set in a small village in North India, is loved for its simplicity, humour, performances and also because it appeals to audiences of all ages. The first season dropped in 2020 and became a huge hit. The second season which came in 2022 was as exciting and entertaining as part 1 and also got huge viewership. As a result, there’s tremendous excitement for the third season, which is ready and is expected to stream soon. At the grand Amazon Prime Video event last week, the attendees got a sneak peek of the teaser of Panchayat’s Season 3. It was quite loved as it unveiled an interesting plot point of the show. It turns out that the character of Ganesh (Aasif Khan) returns in Season 3. Ganesh was seen in Season 1 in an interesting cameo of a disgruntled groom who gets into a fight with Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar), the lead of the series and secretary of Phulera

It has been over a decade since the release of Krrish 3 in 2013, and the absence of any concrete information about the next film has left fans eagerly awaiting news of its development.

The comic caper Madgaon Express released today in cinemas and has got positive reviews from a majority of critics. The film is significant as it marks the directorial debut of actor Kunal Kemmu. Starring Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, Avinash Tiwary and Nora Fatehi, the names mentioned under ‘Special Thanks’ at the beginning of the film are sure to catch attention. This is because superstar Salman Khan and prominent filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap and Rohit Shetty have been thanked by the makers. It made many people curious since the trio are not associated with the film in any capacity. Bollywood Hungama has learned the reason behind their mention. A source told us, “In the film, Dodo (Divyenndu) uses a photo editing software to pretend to the world that he keeps bumping into famous celebs. In one scene in the film, he’s seen ‘posing’ with superstar Salman Khan. In another shot, he puts a picture of him posing with Anurag Kashyap on social media. Kunal took permission from both of them and

It was reported earlier that OMG 2 director Amit Rai is teaming up with Shahid Kapoor for a movie on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's life, produced by Wakaoo Films. Now, it's revealed that Telugu producer Dil Raju is joining hands with Wakaoo Films for this project. The film is currently in pre-production, spearheaded by producers Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, and Rajesh Bahl. Previously, Raju and Shahid were to work together on Aneez Bazmee’s comedy film in which the actor had a double role. However, it did not pan out. A source told Pinkvilla, “The yet untitled film with Shahid Kapoor is one of the most ambitious films of Indian Cinema and the makers are looking to celebrate the valour of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on the spectacle. They don’t want to leave any stone unturned and are partnering with the best in the business. Shahid Kapoor, Wakaoo Films, and Amit Rai have found their perfect partner in Dil Raju.” “Amit Rai has been working on the subject for a while now and thi

It is ironical that a resource as committed to the truth as the Ramayan is being subjected to so many levels of subterfuge. For no fault of its makers. All sorts of conflicting and mostly baseless reports are being leaked into the media about Nitesh Tiwari’s proposed 3-film take on the Ramayan. It is to be noted that so far there has been no official announcement from the director or the producers; not even a confirmation that it is actually happening. Only these whispers and rumours are being floated about the cast (largely fabricated, as only Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi have been officially signed on) and other details. Just the other day we were told that the Ramayan team helmed by director Nitesh Tiwari would be making a formal announcement on Ram Navami on April 17. This rumour is apparently as false as all the others that have come and gone. The latest “news” on Tiwari’s Ramayan is that the project is further delayed as the costumes are not “lavish” enough. Even by the (low)

Sajid Nadiadwala is on a roll. Last week, he made the big announcement that he’s collaborating one more time with superstar Salman Khan for an exciting action entertainer. The film will be directed by A R Murugadoss of Ghajini (2008) fame and will arrive in cinemas on Eid 2025. On Tuesday, March 19, he announced his association with Amazon Prime Video for his four upcoming films – Kartik Aaryan-starrer Chandu Champion, Ahan Shetty-Pooja Hegde starrer Sanki, the multi-starrer comic caper Housefull 5 and Tiger Shroff’s action entertainer, Baaghi 4. The association between Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and the streaming giant was announced at a grand event held by Amazon Prime Video in Mumbai. And now, we have learnt that the reputed producer has one more exciting project up his sleeve. For many days, an under-construction project opposite Fun Republic in Andheri, Mumbai has caught the attention of several people passing by. This is because the gate proudly mentions NGI - Nadiadwala

In this exclusive report, we’ll report on the changes asked by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) before handing over the certificate. As per the cut list, the Examining Committee of the CBFC asked the makers – Excel Entertainment – to ‘suitably modify’ visuals of cleavage in the second half. They similarly asked the producers to ‘suitably modify’ the visual of semi-nude girls that occurs in the first half of Madgaon Express. Then, at the beginning of the film, a foul word can be seen in the backdrop. This cuss word was asked to be removed. The film also went through audio cuts. Certain cuss words were used and they were replaced with acceptabl

Just a day ago, reports of a major change in cast on the sets of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai left fans shocked. It seems that producer Rajan Shahi was left disappointed with Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe for their misbehaviour towards the crew. Despite several warnings when they refused to change it, they were fired from the show despite playing lead characters. Now the latest update on that front is that Samriddhii Shukla, who plays the protagonist Abhira, will now be joined by Rohit Purohit and Garvita Sadhwani. In fact, the makers have also unveiled a short promo of the two actors dressed in ethnic Rajasthani attires. For the unversed, Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe essayed the role of estranged lovers Armaan Poddar and Roohi Poddar, whose relationship turns even more complicated with Armaan marrying Abhira after the demise of her mother Akshara and Roohi marrying Rohit over extreme family pressure. The latest promo features Rohit Purohit and Garvita Sadhwani playing

The highly-awaited film Maidaan is finally releasing next month in cinemas after a long wait. The Ajay Devgn-starrer faced numerous delays as the team faced various challenges. With the release nearly three weeks away, the makers of the film have now faced one more hurdle. A vendor has filed a case against Maidaan’s producer Boney Kapoor over non-payment of dues of nearly Rs. 1 crore. As per a report in Mid-Day, the suit has been filed by Ninad Nayampally of Meherafrin Investments Private Limited at a civil court in Dindoshi, Mumbai against Boney Kapoor and also the other producers. Moreover, Ninad has even sought an injunction to prevent the release of Maidaan on Eid. Ninad Nayampally told Mid-Day that they provided camera-related equipment to the unit of Maidaan. He revealed that initially, their invoices were cleared but the situation changed from December 2020. Once the payments stopped coming, Ninad raised the issue with Boney Kapoor. Ninad stated that Boney, at that time, assur
