Anupama has garnered quite a bit of eyeballs recently and not for a good reason. The sudden exit of some of the most popular actors from the show has definitely piqued the interest of audiences.

Although neither of them took names, t

Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again and Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are going to clash on Diwali, that is, Friday, November 1. Right now, the makers of both films are fighting each other for shows and screens. But four weeks after this mega clash, Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee’s film Naam will be released in cinemas. The surprise announcement happened earlier today. This marks Ajay and Anees’ third film after the romantic drama Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha (1998) and the suspense thriller Deewangee (2002). Naam, interestingly, was shot nearly 20 years ago, in 2004. There were talks of this film releasing in cinemas in 2013 but it didn’t materialize. It was initially titled Benaam and later changed to Naam. Priyanka Chopra was earlier signed for this role but due to some issues, she was replaced by Sameera Reddy. Himesh Reshammiya has composed the music of the film which also stars Bhumika Chawla. Incidentally, its producer is Dinesh Patel who gave a break to Ajay Devgn in Phool Aur Kaante (1991).

Earlier in the week, Salman Khan shot for a cameo as Chulbul Pandey in the Rohit Shetty directed Singham Again. The superstar will join Ajay Devgn's Bajirao Singham in the post-credit scene of this cop entertainer. And now, our highly placed sources, on the sets of Singham Again during the shoot of this cameo have shared insane insights on what one can expect. According to the insider, the Chulbul Pandey cameo will go down in history as one of the best cameos by Salman Khan. "It's a proper 2-minute sequence to introduce Dabangg Khan - Salman - into the world of Rohit Shetty's Cop Universe. He gets the right elevation with a mass presentation, and the aura on the screen will evoke seeti-maar response from the cinema-going audience. Rohit Shetty presents his heroes like superheroes and Salman is a superhero himself, so the presentation is beyond what anyone is thinking," a source told Bollywood Hungama. The source further added that the cameo placement is a lot li
