The Rajinikanth led Coolie is turning out to be a box office hurricane as the film has surpassed all expectations in the advance booking. With 6 days to go for release, Coolie has sold tickets worth Rs. 27 crores in the international markets, making it the best advance of all time for an Indian film outside of Baahubali 2. Leading from the front is the US, followed by Malaysia, the UAE, and Australia/New Zealand.

The film is looking to score history at the box office with an unimaginable opening day at the overseas market. The first day could be as high as Rs. 80 crores on Thursday, which speaks volumes about the hype commanded by Coolie among the cinema-going audience. While the total overseas advance of Coolie stands at Rs. 27 crores, War 2 has a sub-par response with advances of Rs. 4.50 crores. The Telugu version of War 2 has contributed 50 percent to the total advances so far.

The film is trailing behind Coolie internationally, and the hope for revival in this will be the business in India, especially driven by NTR Jr. in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and Hrithik Roshan in the Hindi markets. At the moment, it looks like a clean sweep for Coolie to emerge as the first pick at the worldwide box office, until and unless War 2 makes up for the overseas gap with performance in India. Right now, it's safe to conclude that the hype for War 2 is hit by a tornado in the form of Coolie.

Popular Bollywood casting director Shanoo Sharma, known for discovering fresh talent for some of the industry’s biggest films, recently sat down for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss her work on the newly released film Saiyaara. However, a post related to the interview sparked a wave of candid revelations from actors who have auditioned for her in the past.

Isha Talwar Recalls “Weird Ask” During Early Audition In the comments section of the post, actress Isha Talwar opened up about an unusual audition she was asked to perform early in her career.

She recounted, “So when I started auditioning for roles with Shanoo… I was told to perform a scene at a restaurant called Mia Cucina in Versova, Bombay… a CRYING scene in the middle of a busy working restaurant with customers dining next to my table. I was told I should have no inhibitions as an actor and hence I should be able to do a crying scene with Shanoo sitting in front of me and some of her assistants… It was such a confusing/weird ask… it shattered my confidence as a young girl in films.”

Talwar went on to say she felt an audition should be conducted in a proper casting space or, if required at a real location, one should be hired for the purpose. She added, “I do remember saying I can’t do it and of course I never got the role… but at least I didn’t give in to the weird ask and surely didn’t cry at a restaurant for a role!”

Sharing her story “a decade later,” Talwar said she wanted newcomers to feel “no pressure” if faced with similar situations. Nidhi Subbaiah Echoes Concerns Over Audition Environment Another actress, Nidhi Subbaiah, also took to the comments to reflect on her own early experience with Sharma’s casting process.

She wrote, “Shanoo is sweet but I’m not sure of her casting process. Was shunned and made fun of by her assistants when I’d gone for my first audition. They kept giggling about how different photos are from reality while pointing at a Miss India who was with me for that audition.”

Shanoo Sharma has not yet responded publicly to these accounts.

Hours after comedian Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Café in Surrey, Canada, was targeted for the second time in a month, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the attack. The fresh round of threats has escalated tensions, with the gang warning Bollywood celebrities against working with actor Salman Khan.

Audio Clip Reveals Gang’s Motive

An audio recording, now accessed in full, features Bishnoi gang member Harry Boxer openly taking responsibility for the shooting. In the clip, Boxer alleges that Sharma was targeted due to his association with Salman Khan, describing the superstar as the gang’s “arch-enemy.”

Boxer warns that the gang will not spare any Bollywood actor, filmmaker, or producer who chooses to work with Salman. “Main Harry Boxer, Lawrence Bishnoi gang se… yeh jo Kapil Sharma pe pehle aur ab firing hui hai, yeh isliye hui hai kyunki isne Salman Khan ko udghatan mein bulaya tha Netflix ke show pe. Aur agli baar… ab seedhe AK-47 hi chalegi inke chhaati pe,” he is heard saying.

He further threatens to disrupt Mumbai’s entertainment industry, promising a wave of fear. “Agar Salman Khan ke saath kisi ne bhi kaam kiya toh apni maut ka zimmedar khud hoga,” Boxer declares, ending the message with “Jai Shri Ram, Jai Balkari.”

Café Targeted Twice in a Month

Kap’s Café first came under fire on July 8, when assailants opened fire on the premises. The second attack occurred on August 7, exactly a month later. In both instances, the Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility, stating that Kapil had ignored their calls and warnings.

Security footage from the latest incident shows an armed individual firing multiple rounds outside the eatery. Reports indicate that the café’s windows were shattered by at least half a dozen bullets. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Kapil Sharma Yet to Respond

So far, Kapil Sharma has not issued any official statement addressing the repeated attacks or the threats. The incidents have raised concerns over the safety of Indian celebrities abroad, especially given the gang’s explicit warnings to the film industry.

In a shocking incident late Thursday night, Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi’s cousin, Asif Qureshi, was killed following a violent altercation in Delhi’s Jangpura area, allegedly sparked by a minor parking dispute.

According to police, the incident occurred around 10:30–11:00 pm in Bhogal Market Lane, when Asif confronted his neighbour over a scooter parked in front of his gate. What began as a routine request to move the vehicle escalated into a heated argument.

During the confrontation, the neighbour, identified as Ujjwal (19), allegedly attacked Asif with a sharp object, inflicting severe injuries. Another accused, Gautam (18), also joined in the assault. The attack was captured on CCTV, with footage showing Asif being dragged and attacked by the two men.

Police said Asif had a history of disagreements with the accused, and the victim’s wife alleged the killing was deliberate and conspiratorial. “My man has been deliberately and conspiratorially killed,” she told the media, adding that past clashes had occurred between the parties.

Asif was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead on arrival. The CCTV footage of the attack has since surfaced online.

The Hazrat Nizamuddin police registered a case under sections 103(1) (murder) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Both accused, residents of the same locality, have been arrested.

Police investigations are ongoing to ascertain further details and determine whether there were other individuals involved in the planning or execution of the attack.

On August 8, Prime Video, in collaboration with Excel Entertainment, unveiled the spine-chilling trailer of its upcoming supernatural horror-investigation series. Headlined by Priya Bapat, Karanvir Malhotra, Prajakta Koli, and Surveen Chawla, the series also boasts a powerhouse cast featuring Vatsal Sheth, Parvin Dabas, and Pranay Pachauri in pivotal roles. Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Kassim Jagmagia, Mohit Shah, and Karan Anshuman under the banner of Excel Entertainment, with Vishal Ramchandani as Associate Producer, the eight-episode series is written by Gaurav Desai, Raaghav Dar, Chintan Sarda, and Karan Anshuman, and directed by Raaghav Dar. Andhera will premiere exclusively on Prime Video.

Rooted in a world where logic meets the unknown, Andhera weaves a chilling investigative drama with atmospheric supernatural horror, promising an immersive, edge-of-the-seat visual experience. Set against the dazzling yet deceptive skyline of Mumbai, the trailer peels back the city’s glittering surface to reveal something far darker. When a young woman disappears under mysterious circumstances, Inspector Kalpana Kadam (Priya Bapat) and troubled medical student Jay (Karanvir Malhotra) are pulled into a dark spiral of secrets. As their investigation unearths a sinister force hiding in the shadows, reality begins to fracture. As the line between reality and nightmare begins to dissolve, the duo must confront forces that defy explanation—and fight a creeping darkness that threatens to consume everything in its path.

“With Andhera, we wanted to create something that would not just scare, but also provoke thought,” says Director Raaghav Dar. “The idea was never to rely on conventional horror tropes, but to explore fear as something far more psychological—something that stems from ambition, guilt, and the secrets we bury deep within. We built a world where horror emerges from the choices people make, where science and the supernatural intersect in disturbing ways. At its core, Andhera is about the darkness we carry, often unknowingly. And through this series, we wanted to hold a mirror to that inner chaos, while also delivering a gripping, edge-of-the-seat ride. It’s horror, yes, but with a purpose, and a pulse that feels very real.”

Producer Karan Anshuman added, “With Andhera, we’re peeling back the layers of fear. This isn’t your cookie-cutter horror flick - no cheap tricks, no lazy jump scares - just pure, slow-burning dread that crawls under your skin and stays there. It’s psychological, it’s raw, it’s personal. You’re gonna feel the tension, you’re gonna taste the darkness. Prime Video’s shown guts, letting us push the envelope again, so be warned: if you’re looking for comfort, look elsewhere. If you’re looking to confront darkness head-on, welcome home. August 14 - lights off, Andhera on.”

"I was instantly intrigued by the world of Andhera. It’s a psychological horror story, but at its core, it’s about the survival of the mind, of truth, and of identity,” said actor Prajakta Koli. "My character is impulsive, bold, and often skeptical, yet she’s also deeply affected by what she can’t explain. Being part of a story that is so eerie yet emotionally layered has been an unforgettable experience. I genuinely can’t wait for audiences to get pulled into this world and see how the mystery slowly unfolds."

Actress Bhumi Pednekar, along with her sister, lawyer-turned-entrepreneur Samiksha Pednekar, unveils Backbay, a next-generation beverage brand that reimagines hydration for the modern Indian lifestyle. Rooted in wellness and shaped by conscious consumption, Backbay’s debut offering is natural mineral water, bottled at source in the Himalayan foothills. Rich in naturally occurring minerals and electrolytes, it’s housed in sleek, planet-conscious cartons—designed as a bold, sustainable alternative to traditional PET packaging.

Backbay is crafted for a new generation of mindful consumers who seek purpose, purity, and intentionality in their everyday choices. Originating as glacial melt, the water slowly filters through mineral-rich formations, absorbing naturally occurring magnesium, calcium, and potassium. It is drawn from a protected Himalayan reservoir and bottled in a women-led facility in Himachal Pradesh. Backbay delivers clean, naturally alkaline mineral water designed to nourish both your body and your values.

“I’ve always been conscious of what I consume and how it impacts my health and the environment,” says Bhumi Pednekar. “When I looked at the bottled water space, it felt outdated and lacking in trust. Despite being the most essential beverage, water hasn’t seen meaningful innovation. Most options come in plastic, and the alternatives are either expensive or inaccessible. This made us rethink how water should be sourced, packaged, and experienced. That’s how Backbay began. Every choice we’ve made reflects our values of integrity, sustainability, and long-term impact. Backbay is not just a product. It is a cleaner, safer choice - one that prioritises people and the planet.”

At the heart of Backbay is its sustainability-first packaging. The water comes in lightweight, FSC-certified paperboard cartons topped with plant-based caps made from sugarcane resin. Fully recyclable, travel-friendly, and built to withstand India’s heat without chemical leaching, these cartons are as functional as they are future-forward.

“Water is the most essential product we consume every day, yet ironically, it’s also the most overlooked," adds Samiksha Pednekar. “The category is flooded with vague claims, plastic pollution, and a lack of transparency. With Backbay, we saw a clear gap, to build a hydration brand rooted in integrity, design, and conscious sourcing. This wasn’t just a business opportunity; it was a chance to simplify choices in a cluttered space and bring clarity to something as fundamental as the water we drink.”

Backbay introduces two versatile carton sizes tailored to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. The 500 ml pack is perfect for on-the-go hydration - whether you're heading to the gym, commuting, traveling, or powering through a busy workday. For more sustained refreshment at home, in the office, in wellness spaces, or across restaurants and HoReCa establishments, the 750 ml option offers optimal convenience and eco-conscious style.

Backbay Aqua will enter the market at the end of August, launching across select cities through a well-planned mix of high-impact retail and quick-commerce channels. The brand’s omnichannel rollout includes leading platforms such as Swiggy Instamart and Zepto, supported by its own D2C website and Amazon to ensure seamless accessibility. To further strengthen its presence, Backbay Aqua will also be available at top-tier grocery destinations like Nature’s Basket and Foodstories, as well as through select hospitality partners. Anchored in a wellness-driven product philosophy, a transparent and sustainable supply chain.

The upcoming film The Paradise has generated fresh buzz with the release of a new poster featuring Natural Star Nani in a completely different avatar. Directed by Srikanth Odela, known for his work on the hit Dasara, the poster offers a close-up of Nani in a rugged, intense look—showcasing a side of the actor audiences have not seen before. The detailing in his expression and styling suggests a darker, grittier tone for the film.

Srikanth Odela, who earned recognition for crafting visually rich and emotionally layered narratives, appears to be aiming for a more ambitious scale with The Paradise. This marks his second collaboration with Nani after Dasara. Nani, continuing his streak of varied roles, steps into a character that signals a shift from his recent filmography and broadens his appeal to audiences across multiple regions.

The film also stars Raghav Juyal in a pivotal role. Known for taking on diverse characters, Raghav’s presence hints at an engaging on-screen dynamic alongside Nani. The makers have hinted at more reveals, including another poster scheduled to drop at 5:05 PM today, which is expected to provide a deeper glimpse into the film’s tone and world.

Music for The Paradise is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, with vocals from Anirudh himself and Arjun Chandy. Early indications suggest the soundtrack will align closely with the film’s intense mood, adding another layer to its cinematic experience.

Presenting Natural Star @NameisNani as '????????????????????' from #TheParadise ???????? It started as a braid. It ended as a revolution.

With a strong creative team, multi-language release strategy, and early promotional material that hints at a gritty narrative, The Paradise is shaping up to be one of the more closely watched releases of 2026. The combination of Odela’s directorial approach, Nani’s transformation, and the film’s broad reach could make it a significant entry in the year’s cinematic calendar.

Amazon MGM Studios India launched the action-packed teaser of the upcoming theatrical film, Nishaanchi. The film features a stellar ensemble cast, headlined by debutant Aaishvary Thackeray in a striking double role, alongside Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra in pivotal roles. Nishaanchi is set to release in theatres in India on September 19.

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the film brings to audiences a quintessential desi entertainer — a heady mix of action, humour, and all things filmy. Produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under Jar Pictures, in association with Flip Films, the movie is written by Prasoon Mishra, Ranjan Chandel, and Anurag Kashyap. Nishaanchi promises a gripping cinematic experience that explores the complex relationship between two brothers who walk starkly different paths, revealing how their choices shape their destinies. A rustic heartland story, Nishaanchi will plunge you into a world that’s raw, vibrant, and bursting with local flavour.

The Nishaanchi teaser opens with a mic-drop line — “Bina Bollywood, kauno zindagi kaise jiye?” and just like that, you’re transported into a world brimming with music, dance, high-octane action, unfiltered drama, and double-trouble. We are introduced to Babloo (Aaishvary Thackeray), a flamboyant local hero with swagger to spare, who grooves with the equally fierce Rinku (Vedika Pinto), who matches his madness beat for beat. But just when you think you’ve got it all figured out — enter Dabloo. Amma’s (Monika Panwar) aagyakaari beta, Dabloo, is as sanskaari as Babloo is street-smart. And let’s be honest — what’s a desi entertainer without some spicy masala?

The teaser then rolls out a lineup of exciting characters: there’s Kamaal Ajeeb (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) — unpredictable and impossible to ignore— and Ambika Chacha (Kumud Mishra), calm on the surface but layered with intrigue. Add to that a foot-tapping number packed with catchy beats and high energy, and you’ve got the perfect set-up for a rollercoaster ride. What follows is a montage of seeti-maar entries, larger-than-life characters, and oodles of drama. If the teaser is anything to go by, Nishaanchi promises entertaining, gritty, and massy storytelling — with explosive moments, raw emotions, and the unmistakable Kashyap edge.

Nishaanchi is all set to bring bullets, betrayal, and brotherhood to theatres across India on September 19.

The mystery horror film, Weapons, has been released today worldwide, including India. There’s a lot of curiosity for the film as the pre-release reports have been solid. Though this is not a typical biggie, a section of the audience is excited to catch the film on the IMAX screens. However, the Indian audience won’t be lucky in this regard.

It turns out that Weapons will skip an IMAX release in India. A source explained the reason for it, “Weapons releases on August 8, while War 2 is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Thursday, August 14. Yash Raj Films (YRF), producers of War 2, have exclusively booked all 33 IMAX screens in India. Hence, Weapons would have got a run in IMAX for only 6 days as opposed to other parts of the world where it’ll continue to play for at least a few weeks. Warner Bros felt it was impractical to bring the film in IMAX in this country for such a short period of time and hence, decided to skip its IMAX release.”

This means that F1: The Movie has got another extended run in the IMAX theatres in the country. Starring Brad Pitt, it was released on June 27 and despite not being a conventional mainstream entertainer, it continues to attract the audience steadily. In IMAX, however, it is having an outstanding run. It was discontinued from the IMAX theatres due to the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But from August 1, it was back and continues to rule.

From August 8, F1: The Movie will have more shows in IMAX. In both the IMAX properties in Pune and at Cinepolis Seawoods Navi Mumbai and Cinepolis Thane, F1: The Movie will have four shows a day. It’s no surprise that the weekend shows are already filling fast, though it is currently in its seventh week. At the Indian box office, it has crossed the Rs. 90 crores mark and it remains to be seen if it manages to cross the Rs. 100 crores mark.

Fans of F1: The Movie should note that this would be the last week for the film in IMAX, again, due to War 2. But it’s clear that there’s a lot of gas left in the tank and it won’t be a surprise if it manages to be back in IMAX cinemas once again after some time in one of the open weeks.

Coming back to Weapons, the Zach Cregger-directorial has managed to have a decent advance booking and it's better than the other big Hollywood week release of the week, Freakier Friday. It remains to be seen if Weapons also emerges as another surprise at the box office.

Breaking new ground for Indian OTT series on the world stage, Applause Entertainment’s Gandhi, directed by Hansal Mehta is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025, under its Primetime Programme.

This selection marks a historic first: Gandhi is the first Indian series ever to be invited to TIFF’s prestigious showcase for long-form storytelling.

Speaking exclusively to this writer, Pratik Gandhi, who plays Mahatma Gandhi, said, “It’s a big milestone and a matter of pride for us to represent India in the world forum. It is India’s first series to be showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival and I feel it’s a complete “made in India for the world” series. It’s even more special for me as it’s my first ever screen collaboration with my wife Bhamini, who is playing Kasturba. Our hearts are full of gratitude.”

2 years ago, the career of Sunny Deol went on another level after his action-packed entertainer Gadar 2 earned more than Rs. 500 crores at the box office. It led to demand for more big-scale films featuring the veteran star, especially those with a patriotic touch. Hence, the excitement knew no bounds for his fans when it came to light that he had signed Border 2. And now, it has come to light that a sneak peek of the much-awaited film of 2026 will be unveiled very soon.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed a promo of Border 2 on Thursday, August 7. As per the CBFC database, the asset is named ‘Date announcement teaser no 1 – Border 2’. It is 1.1 minutes long, that is around 70 seconds, and has been passed with a U/A 16+ certificate.

The timing of the teaser being passed is significant. It was done a week before Independence Day and as per reports, the plan is to release the teaser on August 15. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Border 2 is a patriotic film and what better time than to bring its teaser out on August 15. The teaser will give a glimpse of the film and its India vs Pakistan angle. At the same time, it’ll reiterate that the film is all set to release on January 23, 2026, as scheduled, that is, in the Republic Day week.”

Reports also claim that once the teaser is launched on August 15, it’ll also be provided to cinemas. The multiplexes have been asked to play the teaser during the shows of the biggest release of next week, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.

Besides Sunny Deol, Border 2 also stars Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty. It is produced by J P Dutta and directed by Anurag Singh.

For the second time in less than a month, Kapil Sharma’s café in Surrey, Canada, has been targeted in a shooting, intensifying fears of gang-linked violence. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday at the popular Kap’s Café, located at 85 Avenue and Scott Road, leaving the storefront riddled with bullet holes and the surrounding neighbourhood shaken.

Police arrived to find multiple damaged windows and shattered glass scattered across the pavement. Preliminary observations suggest at least six bullets pierced the café’s façade, matching the aggressive nature of the earlier attack. Authorities quickly sealed off a block around the location as emergency crews began their investigation.

Local residents described being abruptly woken by the sound of rapid gunfire, followed by a flurry of police sirens sweeping through the area. The disturbance occurred around 4:35 a.m., startling many who still vividly remembered the first incident at the same café in early July. That initial shooting had taken place just days after Kap’s Café opened its doors, with staff still inside the building at the time. Although no injuries were reported then, investigators discovered no fewer than 10 bullet holes in the glass panels and a completely shattered window.

Thursday’s shooting has drawn eerie parallels to the earlier incident, with both bearing the hallmarks of targeted intimidation. Fueling speculation, two notorious gangs — Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon’s group and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang — have each claimed responsibility in separate social media posts. A purported video circulating online allegedly captures the sound of at least 25 gunshots, accompanied by a threatening message warning of more action, possibly in Mumbai, if their “calls” go unanswered.

Canadian law enforcement is collaborating with Indian security agencies, including the Mumbai Police, to investigate the cross-border implications of these threats. The possibility of the violence being tied to gang rivalry or extortion attempts has not been ruled out.

Despite the alarming incidents, Kap’s Café management has reiterated its commitment to staying open and fostering a safe space for its patrons. In a statement, the café reaffirmed its stance against intimidation, promising to remain a place of warmth and community.

With two brazen shootings in quick succession and gang threats extending beyond Canadian borders, the case has now become an international security concern. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as Surrey’s residents — and Kapil Sharma’s fans — await answers.
