The Hera Pheri... Read More
The Hera Pheri franchise is back on track with its much-awaited third installment, and fans can finally rejoice as Paresh Rawal, who famously plays Babu Bhaiyya, has officially returned to Hera Pheri 3 after a long period of uncertainty and legal complexities. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala confirmed that the Hera Pheri family is back together, crediting his brother Sajid Nadiadwala and filmmaker Ahmed Khan for playing instrumental roles in resolving the issues.
In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Firoz said, “With love, respect, and kind guidance of my brother Sajid Nadiadwala, and also Mr. Ahmed Khan, Hera Pheri family is back together. My brother, Sajid put in a lot of personal time and efforts, over several days to resolve the matter. We have a bond of over 50 years".
He further added, “Ahmed too put in a lot of personal efforts. So it is with the love and guidance of Sajid and Ahmed, that everything is now productive and positive.” Firoz also acknowledged Akshay Kumar’s role in ensuring the film’s progress, stating, “We also have Akshay ji’s support. We both have shared a very good bond since 1996. He was very kind, loving, and affectionate in the entire process of sorting the issues.”
Firoz Nadiadwala emphasized the collective effort behind reuniting the original team, adding, “Priyan ji, Paresh ji and Suniel ji too were very supportive. We are looking for a good happy movie now. This will be one more entertainer in the family franchise of Hera Pheri. We are all going to work very hard. The family is now together.”
For those unaware, Paresh Rawal had earlier revealed to Bollywood Hungama that he had decided to quit Hera Pheri 3, though he did not publicly specify the reason. Reports of legal notices surrounding his exit soon surfaced. However, the recent confirmation of his return has sparked excitement among fans eager to see the iconic trio—Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty—reprise their beloved roles as Babu Bhaiyya, Raju, and Shyam.
With the Hera Pheri family now reunited, the film promises to deliver another memorable addition to the popular comedy franchise.

CONFIRMED: First glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor-Sai Pallavi starrer Ramayana to be FINALLY unveiled on July 3
One of the most or... Read More
One of the most or arguably the most awaited films of Indian cinema, Ramayana, is more than a year away from release. However, the excitement is tremendous for it as it will tell a story that resonates deeply with Indians. Moreover, its casting has also grabbed eyeballs and further enhanced curiosity. Since a long time, there have been reports that the teaser will be released. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the unveiling of the promo is finally happening in just a few days.
The announcement promo will be launched with great fanfare on Thursday, July 3, at a multiplex in central Mumbai. As per the message sent by the publicity team to the media, the makers plan to exclusively unveil ‘Ramayana: The Introduction, the first official glimpse into the world of Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana, a landmark cinematic event that sets the stage for one of the biggest films ever made’. However, there has been no information on whether the team and cast of the film will be present at this significant event.
There were speculations that the first glimpse of Ramayana will be unveiled at WAVES 2025, which was held between May 1-4, 2025. On May 5, a 2-minute 36-minute second-long title announcement video of the film was passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a ‘U’ certificate. Then, on June 23, a 3-minute video was certified by the CBFC and it was also awarded a ‘U’ certificate.
Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and KGF star Yash as Ravana. It is directed by Nitesh Tiwari of Dangal and Chhichhore fame.
At WAVES, Namit Malhotra of Prime Focus revealed that they attempt to take Ramayana to the farthest corners of the world using AI. He said, “We want to make it feel local to the world. With the use of some technology, we are attempting to localize the film in languages with performances. It means it should play in English with lip-sync; without subtitles or dubbed versions. In Spain, it should be in Spanish and in Japan, it should be in Japanese. This is possible because of technology.”
The first part of Ramayana releases in cinemas on Diwali 2026 while the second part will be out on Diwali 2027.

Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr gear up for one of the biggest dance numbers in War 2; shoot to commence tomorrow in Mumbai
Mumbai is about to... Read More
Mumbai is about to witness a storm — and it's not the monsoon kind. As anticipation around War 2 continues to skyrocket, sources close to the production have confirmed that Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr are set to shoot one of the biggest dance numbers ever mounted for an Indian action film. The ambitious track, choreographed on a grand scale, will go on floors tomorrow in Mumbai and is scheduled to be filmed over seven consecutive days.
Both Hrithik and NTR Jr — known individually for their explosive screen presence and impeccable dancing skills — have been rehearsing diligently for the past 15 days. Insiders reveal that the duo has been clocking in long hours at YRF’s studio spaces, perfecting complex choreography that blends high-energy moves with signature cinematic swagger.
“This isn’t just another item song or dance break — it’s a spectacle that blends the intensity of War 2 with the electrifying charisma of its two leads. The synergy between Hrithik and NTR is incredible, and fans are in for a visual feast,” shared a well-placed industry source.
Expectedly, the yet-untitled number has been composed by one of the industry’s top music directors and will feature cutting-edge visuals, a massive dance troupe, and a set designed to complement the grandeur of the YRF Spy Universe.
This marks the first time Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr share the screen, and the combination of their star power and dance prowess has already created a buzz across social media. While Hrithik has long been hailed as Bollywood’s finest dancer, NTR Jr has a formidable reputation in the South for delivering jaw-dropping dance performances — making this face-off one of the most eagerly awaited moments in Indian cinema this year.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the latest chapter in YRF’s expanding Spy Universe and is being mounted on an international scale. The film is expected to release in 2025 and also stars Kiara Advani in a key role.
If this dance number is any indication, War 2 isn’t just promising edge-of-the-seat action — it’s gearing up to be an all-out spectacle.

BJP Spokesperson defends Diljit Dosanjh amid backlash over Sardaar Ji 3 featuring Pakistani Actress Hania Aamir
Punjabi superstar and... Read More
Punjabi superstar and global music icon Diljit Dosanjh is currently facing intense backlash from sections of the Indian entertainment industry over his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3, which features popular Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. The controversy escalated when the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) called for Diljit’s Indian citizenship to be revoked, sparking widespread debate across the country.
In a surprising turn, Diljit Dosanjh has now found support from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The National Spokesperson RP Singh Khalsa from the party took to Twitter to issue a strong defence of the artist, stating, “@diljitdosanjh is not just a celebrated artist—he's a national asset and a global ambassador of Indian culture. FWICE’s call to revoke his Indian citizenship over an inadvertent and pre-incident film shoot is not only unfair but shockingly disproportionate. The film featuring a Pakistani actress was shot before the Phalgam attack. If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India. But attacking Diljit’s patriotism and demanding such an extreme step is simply irrational. Just days before the Phalgam incident, the Indian cricket team played a match against Pakistan. Did FWICE or others object then? TV news channels routinely invite Pakistani guests to boost TRPs. Should those anchors now relinquish their citizenship too? Let’s not cheapen nationalism or weaponize patriotism. FWICE should reconsider its stance—such targeting of our own talent only weakens our moral standing.”

The spokesperson’s statement is gaining traction online, with many applauding the balanced perspective amid growing outrage. The makers of Sardaar Ji 3 have also clarified that the film was shot much before the Pahalgam attack and prior to the recent spike in Indo-Pak tensions. They further confirmed that the film will not release in India.
While the controversy continues to divide public opinion, the BJP’s support signals a significant moment in the discourse, urging for rationality over emotional backlash and calling for a more measured understanding of patriotism in the arts.

In a time of rising threats, a soldier must choose between the country he swore to protect… and the family he loves. Sarzameen, premiering July 25 exclusively on JioHotstar, is a powerful and emotionally charged thriller that delves into the quiet conflicts that rage behind the frontlines where the cost of duty is not just sacrifice, but sometimes, suspicion. Set against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile Kashmir, the film follows Vijay Menon (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a decorated army officer known for his unshakeable sense of duty and personal sacrifice.
As Meera (Kajol), a strong mother and wife, fights to hold the family together, Harman (Ibrahim Ali Khan) brings a raw, simmering intensity to the role of a young man caught between shadowed memories and unsettling truths. Take your seat for a gripping journey of loyalty, truth, and sacrifice — Sarzameen streams on JioHotstar from July 25, 2025.
Alok Jain, JioStar, said, “Sarzameen is deeply relevant to the times we live in. It captures the emotional complexity of today’s world with honesty and heart. As part of our ongoing commitment to bringing storytelling that is rooted and meaningfully crafted, we’re proud to present Sarzameen, created in collaboration with Dharma. It’s a film that truly reflects that vision.”
Karan Johar, Producer, said, “Sarzameen is a deeply emotional story about duty, family, and the choices that define us. It’s not just a thriller, it’s a personal and powerful journey that speaks to the times we live in. With honesty and heart, it explores what it means to stay true to your values when everything around you is tested. We’re delighted to once again collaborate with JioHotstar to bring this story to audiences across the country, it’s a partnership that continues to support and celebrate meaningful storytelling.”

Kayoze has handled the story with great sensitivity, and the performances by Prithviraj, Kajol, and Ibrahim are powerful and moving. We’re proud to partner with JioHotstar to bring this film to audiences across India who enjoy meaningful and engaging cinema”.
Kayoze Irani, making his feature directorial debut with Sarzameen said, “Sarzameen will always hold a special place in my heart, not just because it marks my first feature film as a director, but because it gave me the chance to tell a story that is both deeply intimate and profoundly intense. I’m incredibly thankful to Karan, Apoorva, and the entire Dharma family for placing their trust in me. Working with phenomenal artists like Prithviraj Sir, Kajol Ma’am, and Ibrahim, each of whom brought such emotional depth and honesty to their performances, has been nothing short of a privilege. And I couldn’t have asked for a more committed partner than JioHotstar to take this story to audiences across the country. The emotional battlefield in Sarzameen is just as powerful and consuming as the one unfolding on the frontlines.”

Unapologetic and Unstoppable: Hungama OTT unleashes its latest crime drama Badass Begum
Hungama OTT, one of... Read More
Hungama OTT, one of India’s leading digital entertainment platforms, launched its riveting new original series, Badass Begum, on 26th June 2025. Anchored in a world of power, deception, and dangerous ambition, this crime drama offers an unflinching look at a woman who defied her origins to become a force within Mumbai’s underworld. The series boasts a compelling cast featuring Divyaa Agarwal, Ankit Gera, and Akkshay Dogra in pivotal roles.
Set in the backdrop of Mumbai’s criminal underbelly, Badass Begum unravels the layered and often conflicting legacy of Urvashi Raje—a woman whose name still stirs admiration, fear, and curiosity. Was she pushed into a life of crime by circumstances and the lure of comfort? Or did she rise through the ranks with calculated intent, turning every challenge into a stepping stone? More than just a gangster, she ruled her world like a queen amidst chaos, leaving behind a story that’s as haunting as it is unforgettable.
Speaking about the launch, Siddhartha Roy, CEO of Hungama Digital Media, said, “We’re committed to bringing stories that feel real, rooted and relevant. Badass Begum is a bold crime drama set in the 1980s — driven by strong characters and an authentic narrative. It’s part of a larger effort to offer diverse storytelling that connects with viewers across generations.”
Divyaa Agarwal, who takes on the role of Urvashi Raje, shared, “Urvashi Raje is unlike any character I’ve played before. She’s unapologetic, vulnerable, and relentlessly driven. She is not your typical gangster, and that’s what makes her incredibly fascinating. Badass Begum challenged me emotionally and creatively, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience her journey.”
Reflecting on his role, Akkshay Dogra added, “What drew me to the project was its refusal to stick to one side of the story. It’s not just about crime, it’s about the people behind those choices. Portraying this character has been a creatively fulfilling experience. He reminded me of the iconic anti-heroes we grew up watching — unapologetically stylish, intense, and magnetic. I’m excited for the audience to step into this world and experience the story in all its layers and complexity.”
Speaking about the series and his role, Ankit Gera said, “The world of Badass Begum is gritty, raw, and incredibly real. Every character has a backstory, and every decision has weight. My character operates in that grey space, caught between loyalty, ambition, and personal survival. The writing pulls you in, and being a part of this project gave me the chance to explore complex dynamics and intense emotions.”
With its powerful performances, layered storytelling, and a fearless female lead at its core, the show promises to be a gripping addition to Hungama OTT’s growing slate of original content. Witness the making of a legend who challenged every rule—on her own terms as Badass Begum is available exclusively on Hungama OTT and across partner platforms including Tata Play Binge, Watcho, BSNL, PlayboxTV, RailWire Broadband, Airtel Xstream Play, and Dor TV.

Riteish Deshmukh’s portrayal of Sania in Apna Sapna Money Money, where he cross-dressed and adopted the persona of a woman, remains one of his most iconic comic roles. And now, it seems the actor is all set to revisit this memorable character in an upcoming film backed by veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai.
On June 30, Ghai took to his social media handle to share a still of Riteish in his female avatar from the 2006 comedy.

Ibrahim Ali Khan and Rasha Thadani to headline coming-of-age romantic film: Report
Despite their debut... Read More
Despite their debut projects receiving lukewarm responses, star kids Rasha Thadani and Ibrahim Ali Khan continue to enjoy significant popularity on social media. Now, there’s an exciting update for their fans—if reports are to be believed, the two are all set to share screen space for the first time in an upcoming film.
According to a report by Mid-Day, a source close to the production revealed, “Ibrahim and Rasha have been doing reading sessions and workshops. The makers were clear that they didn’t want just a glamorous pair, but two actors who could tap into the awkward, exhilarating energy of first love. Rasha and Ibrahim clicked from their very first meeting.” The source further added, “While he debuted with a rom-com, Ibrahim will be seen in intense roles in Sarzameen and Diler, the latter featuring him as a marathoner. After those two outings, this film—with its coming-of-age arc—will showcase a softer and more relatable side of him.”
If confirmed, this project would mark Ibrahim’s second foray into the romantic genre. His debut film Naadanaiyaan, which was released directly on Netflix, was a romantic comedy. However, his performance received mixed to negative feedback, with critics pointing out issues with his expressions, dialogue delivery, and dubbing.
On the other hand, Rasha made her debut in the theatrical release Azaad, which also introduced Ajay Devgn’s nephew, Aaman Devgn. While the film didn’t fare well at the box office, Rasha’s performance was appreciated by audiences.
It will certainly be interesting to see Rasha and Ibrahim come together for a romantic drama. As of now, there has been no official confirmation or denial from the actors or the makers. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement.

BREAKING: Baburao returns; Paresh Rawal reveals that Hera Pheri 3 issue has been resolved
Paresh Rawal has been... Read More
Paresh Rawal has been in the news ever since Bollywood Hungama broke the year’s viral story on May 16 that he has quit Hera Pheri 3. Consequently, Akshay Kumar sent a legal notice to the veteran actor seeking damages. But now, it has come to light that the issues have been resolved. Moreover, it has come straight from the horse’s mouth.
In a podcast with Himanshu Mehta, Paresh Rawal was asked about the Hera Pheri 3 controversy. He began by saying, “There’s no controversy. I believe that when people have loved something so much, then you have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility toward the audience. The audience has given you so much adulation. You can’t take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko (film) do.”
He added, “So, I was of the opinion that sab saath mein aaye, mehnat karein. Aur kuch nahin. It is all resolved now.”
When the host re-confirmed whether all was well now, Paresh Rawal replied in the affirmative and further said, “Pehle bhi aane hi waali thi but it’s just that we had to fine-tune ourselves (laughs). After all, all of them are creative, be it Priyadarshan, Akshay or Suniel. They are friends for many, many, many years.”
How it began
On May 16, when Bollywood Hungama exclusively asked Paresh Rawal if he had quit Hera Pheri 3, he said, “Yes, it’s a fact.” As a result, Akshay Kumar’s Cape of Good Films, the producer of Hera Pheri 3, sued Paresh Rawal for Rs. 25 crores. The legal team of Akshay Kumar also gave out a statement, explaining their woes. Bollywood Hungama then revealed in another viral story that Paresh Rawal returned the signing amount of Rs 11 lakhs with 15% p.a. interest and also a little more money for stepping away from the series.
A source had told us then, “Paresh Rawal was paid Rs. 11 lakhs as a signing amount as per the term sheet. His total fees were locked at Rs. 15 crores. The term sheet mentioned that Paresh Rawal would receive the balance amount – Rs. 14.89 crores – only one month after the release of the film. The senior actor had reservations about this clause. Also, the film’s principal shoot was to commence sometime next year. This means that Hera Pheri 3 was unlikely to be released before late 2026 or in the year 2027. In short, Paresh would have had to wait for nearly two years to get the rest of his acting fees.”
Later, at Housefull 5 trailer launch, Akshay Kumar revealed, “I don't think this is a place where I am going to talk about it because...it's a very serious matter. It is a matter which is going to be handled by the courts. Hence, I don’t think I am going to speak about it here.”
Akshay won hearts when a journalist happened to mention that a lot of fans felt that Paresh Rawal was foolish to leave the project. On this, Akshay Kumar said, “Firstly, I'd like to tell you that using such kind of word for my co-star, ‘foolish’, is something I'd not appreciate. That's not right. I have been working with him for the last 32 years. We are very good friends. He's a great actor. I really admire him.”

How is this benefitting anyone?” He concluded his note with a heartfelt plea: “My request to my friends in the media—this isn’t the way someone would want their final journey covered.”
