The comic caper Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 is all set to release on Friday, December 12, and the audience is looking forward to it due to its comic quotient, Kapil Sharma’s casting and the popularity of the first part, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015), which had a successful run at the box office. This time, the protagonist is seen marrying girls from different religious communities. Times are sensitive and hence, there were apprehensions that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) will ask for changes or deletions in the dialogues. However, none of that has happened.

As per the cut list accessed exclusively by Bollywood Hungama, the Examining Committee of the CBFC has asked for just one cut, that is, they asked makers to remove ‘inappropriate’ use of a real name in a scene at the beginning of the film and replace it with an appropriate word. A source told us, “All the dialogues related to religion and communities have been left untouched because the makers have been careful not to hurt any sentiments. The CBFC members appreciated this move and saw no reason to ask for any cuts. Even visually, there was nothing to cut or tone down.”

The source added, “Nevertheless, the film was passed with a U/A 16+ rating and not U/A 13+ or U/A 7+ presumably as the film deals with a man having multiple wives.”

Once the aforementioned cut was enforced, the makers of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 were given the censor certificate on November 25. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 142.25 minutes. In other words, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 is 2 hours, 22 minutes and 25 seconds long.

 Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 is directed by Anukalp Goswami and besides Kapil Sharma, it also stars Hira Warina, Tridha Choudhary, Parul Gulati, Ayesha Khan, Manjot Singh, Akhilendra Mishra, Vipin Sharma, Sushant Singh, Jamie Lever and the late Asrani.

The Great Indian Kapil Show is set to return to Netflix with its fourth season, promising a fresh dose of humour, new characters, and an expanded comic universe. Season 4 will premiere on December 20, marking Kapil Sharma’s comeback with what the makers describe as a brand-new “mastiverse” of laughter, chaos, and family-friendly entertainment.

This season sees Kapil stepping into multiple new avatars, including GenZ Baba, Tau ji, Raja, and Mantri Ji, alongside characters that audiences have grown fond of over the years. Designed to appeal across generations, the new lineup aims to widen the show’s comic palette while retaining its familiar warmth. With every season, the show has evolved into a shared viewing experience, drawing families together through humour that cuts across age groups.

Adding to the excitement is an eclectic guest lineup planned for the season. From World Cup champions and global personalities to Gen Z icons and Bhojpuri stars, the upcoming episodes promise a mix of surprise appearances and lively conversations, keeping the format dynamic and unpredictable.

Kapil is joined once again by his trusted on-screen parivaar. Sunil continues to bring his knack for turning the simplest moments into laugh-out-loud sketches, while Kiku and Krushna return in unexpected avatars that push the boundaries of comic transformation. Archana Puran Singh’s unmistakable laughter remains a fixture on the show, with Navjot Singh Sidhu also returning with his trademark one-liners and high-energy presence.

Speaking about the new season and his many avatars, Kapil Sharma said, “Har baar lagta hai ki ab toh sab kar liya, naye season me kya karunga, lekin phir aapka pyaar aur aapki umeed mujhe kuch naya karne ka rasta dikha deti hai, iss baar bhi aap hi ki ummeedo ne mujhe bahut se naye kirdar aur sath hi wo kirdaar jo aapko humesha se pasand aaye hain, unhe nibhaane ka rasta dikhaya hai … toh aapke liye comedy ke wo saare avtaar lekar aa raha hoon Netflix par, season 4 me … jo hoga comedy ke universe ka multiverse yani mastiverse.”

Sharing her thoughts on the return of the show, Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, said, “The Great Indian Kapil Show is not just a show for us. It’s something that has begun to define family time and Netflix time for India and many Indians outside of our country as well! We are so happy to announce season four!

So along with Sunil, Krushna, Kiku, Archana and Sidhu, this season will see the Best of Kapil as well - something that the audience has been waiting for. The mastiverse is here on the 20th of December.”

With Season 4, the show positions itself as a comfort watch rooted in familiar humour, while expanding its scope through new characters and larger-than-life comic setups. Blending chaos with warmth, The Great Indian Kapil Show aims to continue its run as a staple of weekend family entertainment.

The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4 will stream from December 20, every Saturday at 8:00 pm, exclusively on Netflix.

Anurag Kashyap’s globally acclaimed neo-noir thriller Kennedy has achieved another significant milestone, becoming the only Indian film selected for the inaugural lineup of Letterboxd’s first-ever Video Store. The development marks a major moment for Indian cinema, as the film joins a carefully curated list of international titles on the global film discovery platform.

Letterboxd will officially launch its online rental platform, Video Store, on December 10. The service will offer a selection of acclaimed films, including festival favourites and Academy Award submissions that have largely remained inaccessible to wider audiences. Available across 23 countries at launch, the platform follows a transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) model, allowing viewers to rent films without a subscription. Among the nine hand-picked titles featured in the debut lineup is Kennedy, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 and quickly became one of the most talked-about Indian films on the international circuit.

Reacting to the news, Anurag Kashyap said, "I am happy that finally the film will be available for the general audience to watch in some parts of the world. It’s one of my most personal films and would love to get the audience feedback and reaction, and I am thankful to Letterboxd for putting it on their new platform. And I am, hopeful that we’ll soon be able to release it in India too as the producers are working on it."

Starring Rahul Bhatt and Sunny Leone, Kennedy is produced by Ranjan Singh, Good Bad Films, and Zee Studios. Shot predominantly at night across Mumbai over an intense 30-day schedule, the film follows an insomniac former cop, presumed dead, who continues to operate within a corrupt system while searching for personal redemption. Its moody visual palette and uncompromising narrative have earned it widespread critical attention.

Producer Ranjan Singh described the inclusion in Letterboxd’s Video Store as a momentous milestone for the team. He noted, "Yes, it’s a great moment that after traveling to almost 30 festivals across the world, the film will be available to cinephiles in these countries and we are extremely proud as the only Indian film in this line-up. We want to thank Letterboxd for choosing Kennedy and our studio partners Zee Studios for the support that they’ve given to make this possible. We are working together on the India release of the film soon."

Umesh Bansal, Chief Business Officer at Zee Studios, echoed the sentiment, stating, "Extremely elated to see Kennedy being talked about very highly in the Overseas market. This is a film, which we are truly proud of. We thank Letterboxd for this opportunity & are awaiting to see the audiences' response."

Sophie Shi, Head of Studios at EST N8, which facilitated the release, said, "We’re proud to help bring Kennedy to audiences through Letterboxd’s first-ever Video Store. EST N8 is committed to elevating bold Asian storytelling globally, and Kennedy embodies that mission. We’re thrilled to see Anurag Kashyap’s powerful film reach even more cinephiles."

Following its Cannes premiere, Kennedy went on to screen at several major festivals, including the Sydney International Film Festival, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival, MOTELX in Lisbon, Indie Meme Film Festival in Austin, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, London Indian Film Festival, Fantastic Fest in the US, Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, and the Kolkata International Film Festival, among others.

The film will be available on Letterboxd Video Store in countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Switzerland.

The teaser of Border 2 is set to reach an even wider global audience as it will be attached to Avatar: Fire and Ash, which releases theatrically on December 19, 2025. With the James Cameron spectacle expected to draw massive footfalls across cinemas, the makers of Border 2 are positioning the teaser alongside one of the biggest international releases of the year.

The teaser is scheduled to launch earlier on December 16, coinciding with Vijay Diwas, marking India’s victory in the India-Pakistan 1971 war. The date has been chosen to underline the film’s patriotic core and its connection to a historic moment of national pride. Following its official launch, the teaser will roll out in theatres with Avatar: Fire and Ash, ensuring strong visibility across domestic and international screens.

A grand teaser launch event will take place in Mumbai in the presence of Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahaan Shetty, director Anurag Singh, and producers Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Dutta. In addition, the teaser will be showcased simultaneously for audiences in Purnia (Bihar), Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh, reinforcing the makers’ intent to connect with viewers across regions.

Earlier, on August 15, 2025, the first poster of Border 2 was unveiled, featuring Sunny Deol in a commanding avatar as a battle-hardened soldier. Dressed in military gear and holding a bazooka, Deol’s intense look evoked strong recall value of his iconic role from the original Border, while signalling a larger, more contemporary war narrative rooted in courage and sacrifice.

The makers of Border 2 are set to unveil the film’s teaser on December 16, marking a significant moment for the highly anticipated sequel. The teaser will be officially launched at a special event in Mumbai, attended by Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahaan Shetty, director Anurag Singh, and producers Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Dutta.

Adding to the scale of the launch, the teaser will also be showcased simultaneously for fans across key cities, including Purnia in Bihar, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh, allowing audiences in different parts of the country to be part of the moment together.

The teaser release date holds strong national significance, as December 16 is observed as Vijay Diwas, commemorating India’s victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. The choice of the date aligns closely with the film’s theme, reinforcing the emotional and patriotic core that the Border franchise has long been associated with.

Earlier, on August 15, 2025, the first poster of Border 2 was unveiled, featuring Sunny Deol in a powerful visual that immediately set the tone for the film. The poster showed Deol returning as a battle-hardened soldier, dressed in full military gear and holding a bazooka, his intense expression reflecting courage, resolve, and sacrifice. The image strongly evoked memories of his iconic performance in the original Border, while signalling a larger, emotionally charged narrative ahead.

Speaking about the project, producer Bhushan Kumar had earlier described Border as more than just a film. “Border is more than a film — it’s an emotion for every Indian. With Border 2, we aim to carry forward that legacy and bring it to a new generation. The new release date gives audiences more time to come together and experience the film in theatres during an extended Republic Day weekend,” he said.

Neelam Kothari has publicly called out an airline after what she described as a deeply distressing experience during her recent Toronto–Mumbai flight. Taking to social media, the actor shared that the journey turned into an ordeal marked by a prolonged delay and a serious medical emergency onboard, with little to no support from the airline’s cabin crew.

In her tweet, Neelam revealed that the flight was delayed by over nine hours, adding to the discomfort of passengers. However, matters escalated when she fell seriously ill mid-air. According to her account, she fainted after having a meal and had to be helped back to her seat by a fellow passenger. Despite the incident, Neelam claimed that there was no medical follow-up or even a basic check-in from the crew for the remainder of the flight.

Expressing her disappointment, she wrote that she had attempted to reach out to the airline’s customer service after landing but received no response. Calling the situation unacceptable, Neelam urged the airline to address the matter urgently, highlighting what she felt was a complete lack of accountability and care during a medical emergency.

Dear @etihad, I am extremely disappointed with the treatment I received on my recent flight from Toronto to Mumbai. Not only was my flight delayed by over 9 hours, but I also fell seriously ill onboard, fainting after a meal. Despite a fellow passenger helping me back to my seat,… — neelam kothari soni (@neelamkothari) December 8, 2025

The incident also sparked an unpleasant exchange online. A social media user dismissed her complaint with a comment that read, “Seems like a you problem. But let me try to get something out of it.” Neelam did not let the remark slide and responded sharply, stating that the reaction would have been very different had the same situation involved the user or someone close to them.

Neelam Kothari began her acting career with Jawaani in 1984 and went on to become a familiar face in popular films such as Love 86, Khudgarz, Hatya, and Hum Saath-Saath Hain. She stepped away from films in the early 2000s and transitioned into jewellery design. After nearly two decades, she returned to the spotlight with Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and has since also appeared in shows like Masaba Masaba and Made in Heaven 2.

Remo D’Souza is set to present a refreshing take with his upcoming film, Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain, a quirky, humorous story where perfection takes a backseat and madness leads the way in love. Stepping into the project is none other than actor Jitendra Kumar, renowned for his relatable and earnest portrayals across hit series and films. Mahvash will be playing the female lead opposite Jitendra Kumar.

The romantic-comedy, which promises a heartfelt and hilarious cinematic treat, is written by Pradeep Singh and will be directed by Jayesh Pradhaan. It is produced by Ishan Shilpi Verma, Vishal Tyagi, and Anwar Ali Khan in association with Kuree Studio and Shaisha Motion Pictures and music by national award winner, the legendary Ismail Darbar.

Addressing the film's unique concept, Remo D’Souza expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "In my journey as a filmmaker, I've always loved narratives that are rooted in reality yet filled with a unique spark. Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain is exactly that it celebrates imperfection. It's about finding your kind of crazy in someone else, and having a relatable and bankable actor like Jitendra Kumar on board, with his fantastic ability to blend comedy and vulnerability, ensures this film will strike a chord with the audience."

This new venture sees Jitendra Kumar, loved for his acclaimed performances across Panchayat, Kota Factory, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and the recently released Bhagwat: Chapter One – Raakshas, has been portraying diverse characters with authenticity and emotional depth. The actor shared saying, "The title itself, Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain, perfectly captures the spirit of true, unfiltered love. Playing a wonderfully flawed and real character in this film is a refreshing challenge. I believe the film will resonate with anyone who understands that the most beautiful relationships are often the most imperfect ones."

Mahvash also shared her thoughts on joining the cast, "This isn't just a love story; it's a wonderfully chaotic story! What drew me in was how real and imperfect the characters are; they feel like people you genuinely know. I can't wait for audiences to embrace the beautiful madness of this film."

Singer Sonu Nigam has reportedly leased out a premium commercial property near Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) for a total rental value of Rs 12.61 crores over a five-year period, as per property registration documents reviewed by Square Yards. The development has not been officially confirmed by the singer or his representatives.

According to the documents, the leased office space is located at Trade Centre BKC in Santacruz East and measures approximately 4,257 sq ft. The property has been taken on lease by Pattni Hospitality, the company behind the Downtown 29 café and bar brand, which has a presence in Mumbai’s hospitality circuit.

The lease agreement was registered on December 2, 2025. As per the registration details, stamp duty of Rs 3.27 lakhs and a registration fee of Rs 1,000 were paid for the transaction. The deal also includes a security deposit of Rs 90 lakhs.

The rental arrangement reportedly begins at Rs 19 lakhs per month for the first year. From the second year onwards, the agreement includes a 5.26 per cent escalation, taking the monthly rent to around Rs 20 lakh in Year 2, with proportionate increases continuing over the remaining lease term.

Trade Centre BKC is among the prominent commercial developments in the Santacruz East–BKC belt, an area that has seen sustained demand from corporate offices, financial institutions, and hospitality brands due to its proximity to Mumbai’s financial district.

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 Kapur 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.
