The battle over the late industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s Will, has already become one of the most closely watched legal disputes considering its connection to Sunjay’s children with actress Karisma Kapoor, Samaira and Kiaan. It has further intensified in the Delhi High Court as new arguments cast doubt on the credibility of Priya Kapur’s defence.

Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Samaira and Kiaan, dismantled Priya Kapur’s long-standing claim that her 2023 exit from Automotive India Pvt Ltd (AIPL) was a consensual “position swap” with Sunjay. Instead, he described her removal on 31 May 2023 as a direct fallout of marital discord—arguing that corporate filings reveal she neither became Managing Director of Raghuvanshi Investment Pvt Ltd (RIPL) nor held any role in the company.

According to Jethmalani, “Priya was never made the MD of RIPL… She was removed from AIPL,” countering her assertions of a smooth corporate restructuring. The absence of any parallel appointment, he said, undermines her narrative of a stable blended family and seamless transition—an especially relevant point given her repeated references to cordial ties with Karisma Kapoor’s children.

What followed Sunjay’s death in June 2023 is now under even sharper scrutiny. Records presented in court show Priya was appointed as a director of AIPL a day after his passing, and reinstated herself as Managing Director within a week. Jethmalani argued this reflected not continuity, but opportunism: “She was not in control when Sunjay was alive. She sought control only after his passing.”

The corporate timeline, the plaintiffs argue, aligns too conveniently with the sudden appearance of a contested Will—a document central to determining the legal rights of Sunjay’s heirs, including Karisma’s children.

Complicating matters further is the conduct of the named executor Shradha Suri Marwah, who, according to submissions, neither pursued probate nor took charge of Sunjay’s assets as required. Jethmalani contended that an executor cannot selectively enforce parts of a Will. The court was also told that Shradha claimed to have “deleted” a crucial email attachment containing the alleged Will—despite the email itself being produced in court.

“You cannot delete the attachment without deleting the email,” Jethmalani argued, highlighting what he described as an “impossible explanation” and pointing to the suspicious disappearance of a supporting document that appeared in an earlier email but not in the final version.

With the matter listed again for December 22, the court will continue to examine inconsistencies around Priya’s corporate role, post-death actions, and the missing attachment—issues that now lie at the heart of a dispute carrying significant implications for Sunjay Kapur’s children, his legacy, and the businesses he once helmed.

Salman Khan Ventures Private Limited (SKV) has announced an ambitious Rs. 10,000 crore integrated township project in Telangana after signing an MoU with the state government. Spread across 500 acres, the development is positioned as a next-generation smart city that brings together residential, commercial, entertainment, and sports ecosystems within one expansive hub.

According to the company, the masterplan features mixed-use commercial districts, branded residences, premium hotels, and high-end retail avenues. The township is also expected to include large entertainment complexes and lifestyle destinations tailored for modern urban consumers. In line with SKV’s vision of building global-standard infrastructure, the project proposes extensive sports and leisure facilities — ranging from a championship-level golf course and racecourse to a shooting range and multiple advanced sporting arenas. A state-of-the-art film studio is also part of the blueprint, further strengthening Telangana’s growing position as a preferred destination for film and digital production.

The company noted that the mega development is designed to drive long-term economic activity, generate substantial employment, attract tourism, and contribute to the state’s broader urban growth roadmap. SKV also expressed gratitude to the Telangana government for its proactive support and confidence in backing a project of this scale.

Even as his venture expands its footprint, Salman Khan is simultaneously busy on the film front. The actor will next be seen in Apoorva Lakhia’s Battle of Galwan, which also stars Chitrangda Singh. The action drama is based on the events of June 15, 2020, when 200 Indian soldiers courageously defended their territory against nearly 1,200 Chinese PLA troops in the Galwan Valley. Currently on floors, the film reportedly required Salman to undergo an extensive physical transformation to embody the role. The film is expected to release next year.

Actor Sourabh Raaj Jain, widely known for speaking up on social and environmental matters, expressed concern over recent developments related to the Aravalli Hills. The actor shared a detailed post on social media after learning about the Supreme Court’s decision to adopt a more limited definition of the Aravalli range—an update that experts feared could remove legal protection from almost 90% of the landscape.

Sourabh said he felt disturbed after watching several videos on the issue and later checking multiple reports online. He wrote, “Hope it is NOT what it seems to be,” while tagging relevant authorities. He also urged citizens to stay aware and not overlook what he believed could turn into a long-term ecological challenge if left unaddressed.

For those unfamiliar, the Aravalli Hills rank among the world’s oldest mountain ranges and have played a major role in safeguarding Delhi-NCR from desertification, rising temperatures, and severe pollution. Under the new criteria, a landform would be considered part of the Aravalli only if it rose at least 100 meters above the local terrain. Environmentalists argued that this benchmark was scientifically weak and could drastically reduce the protected area, making the region more vulnerable to environmental damage.

Sourabh reflected these concerns in his post, pointing out that such a change might allow renewed mining and construction in areas that were earlier shielded by law. Many low-lying ridges—though not meeting the 100-meter height requirement—held significant ecological value by supporting groundwater recharge, preventing dust storms, and helping regulate the local climate.

Sourabh Raaj Jain, who continued to connect with audiences through his varied roles across television and digital platforms and was last seen in Tu Dhadkan Main Dil, added his voice to the growing number of environmental experts and activists. They collectively urged authorities to reconsider the definition, stressing that decisions made now could affect the ecological stability of North India for many years to come.

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife Shwetambari Bhatt have been sent to seven days of police custody by the Additional Senior Civil Judge and Additional Chief Magistrate, Udaipur Court. The order comes a day after the couple was detained in Mumbai by the Rajasthan Police in connection with an alleged IVF fraud case.

The development has sent shockwaves across the media and film industry. Vikram Bhatt and Shwetambari Bhatt were arrested on Sunday, December 7, in Mumbai in a cheating case amounting to Rs 30 crores, registered in Rajasthan.

According to PTI, the case involves allegations by Udaipur-based doctor Ajay Murdia, founder of the Indira Group of Companies. Dr Murdia has claimed that he was promised returns of up to Rs 200 crores, but the assurances never materialised. Along with the Bhatts, six other individuals have also been named as accused in the case.

A Times of India report stated that an Udaipur police team coordinated with the Mumbai police to carry out the arrest. The couple was taken into custody from Yari Road in Andheri and produced before a holiday magistrate in Mumbai, who granted two days’ transit remand, allowing the Rajasthan Police to take them to Udaipur for further proceedings.

Bollywood Hungama has learned that Vikram Bhatt made a special request before the magistrate regarding his travel to Udaipur. A source revealed, “Vikram Bhatt was informed that he would be taken to Udaipur by road. Considering the journey would take nearly 15–16 hours, he requested permission to travel in his own Mercedes car. However, the court declined the request, following which he travelled in a vehicle arranged by the Udaipur Police.”

Meanwhile, the case has also cast uncertainty over the promotions of Vikram Bhatt’s upcoming film Haunted – Ghosts Of The Past. An industry insider told Bollywood Hungama, “Vikram Bhatt had planned to launch the trailer of Haunted – Ghosts Of The Past on December 19. Given the current situation, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to move forward with the event as scheduled.”

Further developments in the case are awaited as the investigation continues.

Ajay Devgn was among the first to announce an Eid 2026 release for his comic caper, Dhaamal 4. However, the release period has gotten crowded over the last few weeks, as Ranveer Singh and team Jio Studios announced Dhurandhar 2 for the prestigious holiday period. The day will also see the arrival of Yash with Toxic. Keeping the complexities of box office in mind, Ajay Devgn has made a large-hearted move.

Very reliable sources confirm that Ajay Devgn and team have moved away from the Eid 2026 window. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, "After several rounds of discussions, and following the historic success of Dhurandhar, Ajay Devgn is not willing to take the risk of clashing with the sequel of this Aditya Dhar film. He and his team are now looking to release the film in the month of May 2026."

The source also confirmed that the decision is a practical one, as Ajay isn't someone who has the ego to be on the date just because he first announced it. "Ajay has always been a kind who stands for the industry, and he is well aware of the fact that Dhurandhar 2 could redefine the film business for Bollywood. He is in sync with the business of the first part and doesn't want to bring a comic caper against a film that speaks to the masses of India about the political conflicts. He feels Dhurandhar is an important franchise that deserves a clear run."

The new date of Dhamaal 4 could be in the Summer 2026 period, preferably May 2026, which could attract the kids to cinema halls.

Rajkumar Hirani’s blockbuster film 3 Idiots, starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi, first released in 2009. Even after 15 years, the film continues to be celebrated for its humor, memorable performances, and strong social message, making it relevant for audiences across generations. Now, fans of the iconic movie have a reason to rejoice as the story is set to return with a sequel.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, the script for 3 Idiots 2 has been finalized by Rajkumar Hirani, and the project is slated to go on floors in 2026. The sequel will bring back the original star cast, including Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi, promising to recreate the magic that made the first film a cult classic.

While Hirani had been toying with the idea of a sequel for a long time, he decided to revisit it only recently after his Dadasaheb Phalke biopic went on hold. “He dedicated time to expand the 3 Idiots sequel into a full-fledged screenplay. Hirani always had a seed of an idea for 3 Idiots 2, but he wanted it to be perfect and something that would stand up to the legacy of the original," an insider revealed.

The report also mentions that Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani have temporarily shelved the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic as they aren’t satisfied with the script.

While details of 3 Idiots 2’s storyline are still under wraps, it is expected to follow the original characters fifteen years later, exploring their journeys with a mix of humor, emotion, and life lessons. The announcement has already created massive excitement among fans, who are eager to witness the reunion of Rancho, Farhan, Raju, and Pia. With Hirani at the helm, the sequel is expected to honor the legacy of the original while adding fresh humor and emotional depth.

Dhurandhar is all over the internet and it has become a big talking point thanks to its real-life references, performances, certain moments and of course the music. A day after its release on December 5, the song ‘FA9LA’, featuring Akshaye Khanna’s character Rehman Dacait, making a dramatic entry at a celebration in Balochistan, has gone viral. The song is very catchy and there’s no way an active social media user hasn’t seen its videos and Reels. In an interview with Mid-Day, choreographer Vijay Ganguly shared some interesting trivia about working on the track.

Vijay Ganguly began by saying that the dance was done spontaneously by Akshaye Khanna. He said, “Originally, he was supposed to enter, walk through the dancers, and sit on the throne. Seeing the scene’s mood and the dancers’ performance, the fantastic actor that Akshaye is, he said he would dance a bit when he walks in. None of us knew what he was going to do. Akshaye entered the scene, took it from that point, and spontaneously performed.”

Director Aditya Dhar has recreated Balochistan, Pakistan, in the union territory of Ladakh. The breathtaking place is notorious for high-altitude sickness, and sadly, Akshaye Khanna fell victim to it. As a result, the dashing and talented actor had to carry an oxygen mask and an oxygen cylinder.

Vijay Ganguly stated, “Akshaye would carry a small oxygen cylinder with him. When we were shooting this song, his oxygen level had dropped. So, after every shot, he would put the oxygen mask on. He did the sequence unflinchingly, and then went home.”

Vijay Ganguly also told Mid-Day that he had worked in Chhaava (2025), which also starred Akshaye Khanna. He stated, “Akshaye didn’t have any dancing to do in Chhaava. When he is on set, there is not much interaction outside of work. He is completely immersed in his character, thinking and trying to see what more he can do to enhance his scene.”
