Ram Kapoor faces backlash over Smriti Irani comments in recent interview; netizens react sharply
Ram Kapoor, the... Read More
Ram Kapoor, the popular television and film actor, has once again found himself in the middle of a social media storm after his recent comments comparing the success ratio between overweight men and women in the entertainment industry went viral. In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Kapoor used the example of actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani, which has sparked widespread criticism online.
Speaking about the challenges faced by overweight actors, Ram Kapoor said, "She was my size as a woman and probably more successful than me. It's just that she left earlier and that was Smriti Irani. When she started Kyunki Saas (bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi) to when she ended, she was huge. See the first year of Kyunki and the last year of Kyunki, she's as big as I am. But equally successful." He further added, "It will be difficult for another guy to do it, I agree. But Smriti did it; she did it with all that weight."
The actor’s remarks were quickly picked up by a Reddit account, which shared excerpts from the interview, leading to an intense backlash from users. Many slammed Kapoor for what they viewed as an unnecessary focus on Irani’s weight rather than her talent and contributions.
One user commented, "Did he explicitly take her name? It seems like he wants more attention for his weight loss whichever way possible. Attention Whore Alert." Another wrote, "Weightloss has made his mind go cuckoo." Others pointed out, "Has he considered the possibility that Smriti Irani, for all her flaws, is a better actor than he is? Not to mention, the target audience of Ekta Kapoor's serials being women, the female leads, for obvious reasons, were seen as more relevant. Smriti Irani's greater success and popularity has less to do with her size and more to do with the fact that she was the one the audience identified more with."
Some also highlighted the immense pressure Irani faced during the show’s peak, with one user saying, "She had two kids while doing the show and didn’t have time to lose weight. She’s said that she literally had to come back to shoot like two days after having a kid." Another noted, "Yes, and Ram Kapoor of all people should remember how thin she was considering they literally starred opposite each other in Kavita." Ram kapoor says it is easier for overweight women to achieve success compared to overweight men byu/Sassy_extrovert inBollyBlindsNGossip
A particularly scathing comment read, "Ram Kapoor wants to be cancelled so bad."
This latest controversy comes shortly after Kapoor faced heavy backlash for trivialising sexual assault during the promotional activities of his web-series Mistry, which led to his removal from all promotional activities of the JioHotstar show, despite him playing the lead role. As social media continues to criticise Ram Kapoor’s repeated missteps, the actor has yet to respond to the fresh wave of backlash.

No ban, no blacklist: Inside the real story of Bhushan Kumar and Diljit Dosanjh’s Border 2 controversy
In the wake of... Read More
In the wake of growing media speculation around Bhushan Kumar and Diljit Dosanjh’s professional relationship, sources close to T-Series have categorically denied a series of misleading reports that claim the producer influenced decisions related to actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s involvement in upcoming projects — most notably Border 2. Recent articles alleging that Bhushan Kumar used his industry clout to either ban or reinstate Diljit Dosanjh in the upcoming film Border 2, amidst the latter's recent controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3. Some reports even claim that Kumar has vowed not to work with the actor in the future.
However, a highly placed source close to the development has now spoken out, dismissing these claims as completely fabricated and devoid of truth. “Bhushan Kumar has never used his influence in the manner being suggested in these stories. These are baseless allegations. He continues to work on Border 2 and there has been no decision—past or present—taken to manipulate casting based on any agenda or external controversy,” the well-placed industry source stated.
The controversy around Diljit stems from Sardaar Ji 3, which has been mired in political and social backlash. While this has sparked a parallel debate in media circles about whether the fallout led to his exclusion from Border 2, insiders maintain that casting decisions were made purely based on creative requirements and timelines, not political or personal motivations.
Furthermore, reports suggesting that Bhushan Kumar has decided to sever ties with Diljit Dosanjh post-Border 2 are also being denied. “No such declaration has been made. Bhushan is currently focused on delivering Border 2 as a major cinematic experience and has not issued any statement—formal or informal—regarding ending future collaborations with Diljit,” the insider emphasized.
This marks the third narrative that has surfaced recently alleging that Bhushan Kumar wielded his influence to affect Diljit’s position in Border 2, possibly even lobbying for him. The source rubbishes this completely, calling it a manufactured story with no basis in reality. “There is a difference between online noise and official decisions. Bhushan Kumar has always maintained a professional approach when it comes to casting and film development. These stories are speculative at best, and damaging at worst,” the source added.
At a time when misinformation can quickly snowball into a full-blown crisis, sources close to the production house urge the public and media to verify facts and wait for official announcements before jumping to conclusions.
As it stands, Border 2 continues to be in production under T-Series, with Bhushan Kumar fully involved in the project’s progress. Neither T-Series nor Bhushan Kumar has released any statement confirming or denying Diljit Dosanjh’s future participation in upcoming ventures, suggesting that the matter is being handled internally and professionally—without the dramatics falsely portrayed by recent media reports.

Dhurandhar first look out: Ranveer Singh-starrer CONFIRMED to arrive in theatres on December 5; take a look inside Aditya Dhar’s world
On the occasion of... Read More
On the occasion of his 40th birthday, actor Ranveer Singh received a special cinematic tribute as the makers of Dhurandhar unveiled the first official asset from the highly anticipated film. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar brings together a powerful ensemble cast and marks Singh’s next big theatrical release after a brief hiatus from the big screen.
The first look video opens with R. Madhavan’s intense voiceover: “Bahut saal pehle kisi ne mujse kaha tha, ‘Pados mein rehte hain, godde bhar ka zor laga lo, bigaad lo jo bigaad sakte ho.’ Bigaadne ka waqt aa gaya hai.” His words set the tone for the gripping, politically charged world of Dhurandhar — a world on the brink of chaos.
What follows is a blood-soaked, fierce visual of Ranveer Singh — his face scarred and smeared in red — exuding a dangerous calm. The mood is reminiscent of his menacing turn as Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat, with the same haunting eyes and restrained fury. Singh delivers just one line in the teaser, but it lands with weight: “Ghayal hoon, isliye ghatak hoon.”

Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar also stars Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, a line-up that has already generated considerable buzz. This is director Aditya Dhar’s second major film after the 2019 blockbuster URI: The Surgical Strike, which earned him acclaim for both scale and storytelling.
Interestingly, the first look video also confirmed that the film will be released on December 5, 2025. It is worth noting that Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report on the Ranveer Singh starrer's release date. It will clash with Prabhas' The Raja Saab.

Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 finally gets rolling: Ranveer Singh - Kiara Advani to shoot from January 2026, Priyanka Chopra may return
The long-awaited Don... Read More
The long-awaited Don 3, directed by Farhan Akhtar, which had been delayed for various reasons, is finally set to begin shooting in January 2026. Confirming this development, a source told Subhash K Jha, “Yes, there’s been a delay—but it couldn’t be helped. Ranveer Singh, who replaced Shah Rukh Khan in the franchise, had to deal with a wave of online trolling for ‘daring’ to step into SRK’s shoes. Farhan and Ranveer mutually decided to lie low and let the heat die down. Ranveer also needed time to physically and mentally prepare for the role, which requires rigorous martial arts training.”
The source further added, “After that, Kiara Advani—who was signed on to replace Priyanka Chopra as the female lead—got pregnant. Farhan had to halt the film’s progress due to her changed circumstances. To add to that, Farhan got deeply immersed in his own acting schedule for the intense war film 120 Bahadur, where he plays Major Shaitan Singh. That film is scheduled to release on November 21, 2025.”
Now, with all hurdles cleared, Don 3 is finally ready to roll. Shooting begins in January 2026, with a targeted December 2026 theatrical release.
And here’s the most exciting part—the source hints at a major surprise, “There is a possibility that Priyanka Chopra may return to the Don franchise.”

Due to TREMENDOUS public demand, 2:00 am show of F1: The Movie in Eros IMAX Mumbai; 100+ shows of Jurassic World: Rebirth added on Saturday
The first quarter of... Read More
The first quarter of the year hasn’t been great for Hollywood but since May, its films have been excelling at the ticket window. Last week’s F1: The Movie is rock-steady at the box office despite screen-sharing issues and competition from new releases. There’s an insane demand to watch the film in IMAX due to which its shows ran with excellent occupancy even on the weekdays in the 33 IMAX centres of India. Looking at this response, the management of Eros IMAX in Mumbai have decided to play a post-midnight show.
On Saturday and Sunday this week, a 2:05 am show of F1: The Movie was played in the South Mumbai standalone IMAX theatre. As per sources, the show was also played at the same time in the previous weekend. Despite the unearthly hour, the bookings have been great. When Bollywood Hungama had a look at the occupancy of the 2:05 am show of July 5 at 11:00 pm on July 5, more than 50% of the show was full and seats were filling fast.
On the other hand, Jurassic World: Rebirth, which released this week, had a great opening of Rs. 9.25 crores. Many in the trade were shocked to see that it didn’t get the desired number of shows despite decent advance sales and huge popularity of the franchise among both masses and classes.
Thankfully, the situation got corrected on Saturday. As per trade sources, more than a hundred shows of the dinosaur saga were added across the country. A trade expert told Bollywood Hungama, “The collections on Friday and word of mouth made it clear that Jurassic World: Rebirth will jump on Saturday. Accordingly, cinemas had no choice but to allot more showcasing to the film.” The film earned nearly Rs. 12.50-13 crores on its second day.
Jurassic World: Rebirth is distributed by Warner Bros, which also released F1: The Movie. Bollywood Hungama had reported last week how even for the Brad Pitt-starrer, the Hollywood studio had to fight with the multiplexes for fair showcasing.
Tuesday offer to continue
The high-ticket rates for F1: The Movie have come under the scanner. Many want to watch the film but at a reasonable price. This is also a reason why the 2:05 am show at Eros has attracted people. It is the cheapest IMAX show in the country with the Prime seats available for Rs. 299 while Classic seats are sold for just Rs. 199.
Usually, high-performing films don’t opt for Tuesday offers, a popular scheme under which tickets are sold for Rs. 99/149/199 for normal seats and Rs. 299 for special formats. But Warner opted for it for F1: The Movie. The trade source commented, “Warner could have avoided the offer but it seems like they wanted the audience to enjoy the film at affordable rates. As a result, its Tuesday footfalls were high, at par with the footfalls on the weekend.”
The trade source also said, “Normally, after the Tuesday offer, Wednesday collections see a major drop. But F1: The Movie collected the same amount, that is, around Rs. 3.50 crores, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, a never-before-seen occurrence since the offer began earlier this year.”
The source also revealed, “This Tuesday, the offer will once again be available for F1: The Movie and also Jurassic World: Rebirth.”
All eyes are now on Superman, the third consecutive Hollywood biggie. And this one too is backed by Warner Bros. An industry insider commented, “Two Hindi films are also up for release on July 11. Once again, expect fights over shows, a fractured release on a Friday and a correction the next day. Ab toh aadat si hai humko aise jeene ki!”

Madhya Pradesh HC orders fresh trial in Saif Ali Khan’s Rs 15,000 crores inheritance dispute
Bollywood actor Saif... Read More
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and his family have suffered a significant legal setback after the Madhya Pradesh High Court set aside a 25-year-old order that upheld their claim to ancestral property worth an estimated Rs 15,000 crores. The court has now ordered a fresh trial in the decades-old inheritance dispute involving the former royal family of Bhopal.
The property in question traces back to the princely state of Bhopal and was inherited by Saif Ali Khan, his mother Sharmila Tagore, and his sisters Soha and Saba Ali Khan, following the death of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, former Indian cricket captain and Nawab of Pataudi. Court Sets Aside 2000 Decree A Bhopal district court had ruled in 2000 that the Pataudi family was the rightful heirs to the estate, based on the succession of Saif’s grandmother, Sajida Sultan, the daughter of the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal, Hamidullah Khan. However, in a new development, Justice Sanjay Dwivedi of the Madhya Pradesh High Court overturned the trial court’s decision, citing reliance on a precedent that the Supreme Court has since overruled.
“I am of the opinion that the trial court, without considering other aspects of the matter, had dismissed the suits, that too relying upon the judgment which has already been overruled by the Supreme Court,” Justice Dwivedi stated in the order. “Thus, in my opinion, the impugned judgment and decree deserve to be and are hereby set aside.”
The High Court directed the trial court to re-examine the matter from scratch and permitted all parties to present fresh evidence in light of recent legal developments. The fresh trial is to be conducted expeditiously, ideally within one year. Background of the Dispute The legal battle stems from the inheritance of the personal property of Nawab Hamidullah Khan, the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal, who had three daughters: Abida, Sajida, and Rabia. Sajida Sultan, who married Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, was declared the heir to the estate after her sister Abida migrated to Pakistan. The succession was formalised in 1962 when the Government of India issued a certificate naming Sajida as the sole inheritor.
Sajida’s son, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, inherited the property, which was eventually passed down to Saif, Soha, and Saba. However, other heirs of the Nawab — including Begum Suraiya Rashid and Nawab Mehr Taj Sajida Sultan — challenged the inheritance, arguing that the partition of Nawab Hamidullah’s property was unfair and did not comply with Muslim Personal Law.
Their suit, initially dismissed in 2000, has now been revived by the High Court.
The order also referred to the 1949 Instrument of Accession through which the princely state of Bhopal merged with the Union of India. As per the agreement, the Nawab retained rights to personal properties, and succession was to follow the Bhopal Succession to the Throne Act, 1947.

SCOOP: Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar to release on December 5; to CLASH with Prabhas’ horror comedy The Raja Saab
Tomorrow, July 6, is... Read More
Tomorrow, July 6, is the birthday of the energetic superstar Ranveer Singh and on this occasion, an asset of his upcoming film, Dhurandhar, will be released by its makers. Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the producers have already locked the release date of the film – December 5, 2025.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers are of the opinion that it would be an ideal time to bring out the film. A meeting was held with all the stakeholders, including Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar. They all agreed that December 5 will be the appropriate release date. The teaser, which will drop tomorrow, will mention that the film will be storming in cinemas on the first Friday of December.”
This means that Dhurandhar will clash with The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt and others. The horror comedy is mounted on a huge scale and will be released in multiple languages. However, both films belong to diverse genres and hence, both have the potential to attract audiences on the sheer power of their content and star power. Interestingly, both films feature Sanjay Dutt. And that’s not all. Another film is also up for release on the same day – Vishal Bhardwaj’s untitled next featuring Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar and Randeep Hooda. It is backed by Sajid Nadiadwala.
Besides Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt, Dhurandhar also stars Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal and R Madhavan. Reportedly, it is inspired by real-life incidents revolving around the younger days of India’s National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval.
The source also said that the fans are in for a big surprise on July 6, “Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar are going to astonish one and all with the asset of Dhurandhar. It’ll be the perfect birthday gift for Ranveer. Fans and moviegoers at large are expected to lap it up.”

It's incredible to see Pokémon GO celebrate Indian culture in such a fun and engaging way — especially with characters like Pikachu wearing a saree!

Being able to share that joy with my family and the world through such an innovative platform is truly exciting.”
Riteish echoed her sentiments, adding, “As someone who loves technology and gaming, being part of the Pokémon GO family feels like a natural fit. I’ve been playing the game since it launched in India in 2016, and now promoting it is truly thrilling. It encourages fun while keeping our cultural heritage alive in such an interactive way.”
Genelia is currently seen in Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par, while Riteish was last seen in Housefull 5. He will next be seen in Dhamaal 4.

Aditya Dhar has an epic ‘Dhurandhar’ birthday surprise for Ranveer Singh; actor remains in the dark about film’s first look
Filmmaker Aditya Dhar... Read More
Filmmaker Aditya Dhar had something extraordinary planned for Ranveer Singh ahead of his birthday this year — and it’s not your typical cake-and-candles celebration. Aditya’s grand idea is to surprise his leading man with the first look of their highly anticipated film, Dhurandhar.
What was to make this surprise thrilling was that Ranveer Singh was not supposed to know about it. Aditya had been secretly preparing a special unit from the film to unveil as a birthday gift for the superstar. However, despite Dhar’s best efforts to keep it under wraps, word eventually reached Ranveer. When Ranveer confronted Aditya about the buzz, Aditya initially tried to dodge the question. But Ranveer’s curiosity didn’t allow the matter to rest. After relentless questioning, Aditya finally admitted the truth — but asked Ranveer to trust him and wait for the official first look reveal.
Sources close to the production reveal that Aditya Dhar has gone to great lengths to ensure that the surprise remains intact. Even though Ranveer has been part of the film’s journey and has seen the early rushes of Dhurandhar, the final electrifying first look unit has been kept strictly confidential. “Ranveer knows something special is coming, a true cinematic treat, but he hasn't seen thefinal cut,” an insider shared, teasing the magnitude of the surprise. “It's entirely Aditya's ingenious way of making this birthday not just memorable, but truly iconic for his superstar.”
The buzz around Dhurandhar has been building ever since the film was announced. Apart from Ranveer Singh in the lead, the film features a power-packed ensemble including Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Akshaye Khanna. However, the names of the leading ladies have been kept tightly under wraps, adding another layer of intrigue.
In fact, several photos from the sets of Dhurandhar have gone viral over the past few months, further increasing fan anticipation. With its star-studded cast and a director known for delivering cinematic spectacles, this film is shaping up to be one of the most awaited releases.
All eyes are now on Ranveer’s birthday on July 6, when Aditya Dhar is expected to finally unveil the much-guarded first look. Fans are waiting to see whether the surprise will truly live up to the hype.
