Murderbaad trailer out: Sharib Hashmi, Amole Gupte-starrer marks 25-year-old Arnab Chatterjee's directorial debut, watch
“Where Is the Guest?"... Read More
“Where Is the Guest?" asks the Murderbaad trailer as it unleashes a new-age Indian Romantic Thriller helmed by 25-year-old Arnab Chatterjee; Sharib Hashmi, Amole Gupte, Manish Chaudhari front the fascinating whodunit, along with Gully Boy’s Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur from Barjatiya’s Dono.
Who doesn't love a thrilling murder mystery? The official trailer of Murderbaad, the debut Hindi feature film from writer-director-producer Arnab Chatterjee, who was 24 when he shot the film, was unveiled today by Reliance Entertainment, and it’s already grabbing eyeballs for its taut suspense and stellar ensemble cast.
A pulse-pounding whodunit is set in a seemingly tranquil and picturesque city of Jaipur. Murderbaad follows the eerie disappearance of a guest at a Rajasthani palace. What starts off as a simple missing case quickly spirals into a web of secrets and long-buried truths of human psychology. The trailer teases with a gripping line that goes 'where love and death collide', suggesting that every character harbours a hidden motive.
Speaking about it, Arnab Chatterjee said, “The Murderbaad journey started 5 years ago, when I wrote the two-pager while still in college. It’s inspired by the romance and thrill I grew up watching, but I wanted to set that mood in a distinctly rooted setting. At its core, it’s about the stories people bury to protect their identity. I’m grateful to have had such a talented cast and crew bring this vision to life.”
The film boasts a powerful ensemble, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with veterans Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari, Amole Gupte, Aanjjan Srivastav, Vibha Chhibber, among others. Cinematography by the legendary Binod Pradhan (Devdas, Rang De Basanti, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Kalank), editing by Dev Rao Jadhav (Badhai Ho, Maidaan, Kaala Paani), and action by Sham Kaushal (Gangs of Wasseypur, Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani) add to the film’s high production value.
Sharib Hashmi added, “Despite being his debut Hindi feature film, Arnab left no stones unturned in bringing together a complete mix of fresh and extremely experienced members in the team. I’ve enjoyed every day on set. The film is very unique in its own way, both in terms of story as well as the way it was made, with a 24-year-old (at the time of shooting) director-producer at the top of it. I pray for all the luck to our film, and wish Arnab all the success that he deserves in the future”.
Amole Gupte, who plays a crucial character, shared, “This young man, Arnab, all of 25, has managed to bring in industry veterans and mounted a whole film on his own shoulders. He has a unique way of approaching, and I was thrilled with his conviction, to which you can’t say no. When you know how to collaborate, you know how to approach life. I’m floored by the way he has done all of it!"
The trailer has already sparked conversation on social media for its haunting visuals, sharply cut suspense, and evocative score by Rickie, featuring vocals from Shaan, Nakash Aziz, and Amit Kumar. Produced under Arnab’s own banner, ACjee Entertainment, Murderbaad is slated for a theatrical release on 18th July 2025.

Shah Rukh Khan starrer King gears up for major European schedule in August: Report
Readers may recall... Read More
Readers may recall that Bollywood Hungama was among the first publications to break updates on Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated project, King. We were the first to report that Sajid Nadiadwala parted ways with the title, paving the way for SRK’s next big-screen venture. Since then, King has consistently made headlines, and now, fresh buzz suggests that the cast has taken a short break ahead of a major European shooting schedule set to begin in the last week of August.
According to a report by Mid-Day, a source close to the production revealed, “Locations are currently being locked. The shortlisted cities include Budapest, Prague, and possibly Berlin, where sleek chase sequences will unfold. Siddharth wants these sequences to be stunning and has told his team to scout for some never-before-seen locales.” The source further added, “These will be quick, smaller-unit shoots aimed at filling plot gaps without requiring the full crew’s return.”
Earlier, Bollywood Hungama exclusively reported that Siddharth Anand had taken over as director of King, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. Sujoy Ghosh was initially attached to helm the film, but Anand later came on board and reworked the script to deliver a larger-than-life cinematic experience — a process that eventually delayed the film’s shoot to June.
An industry insider told us, “Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan delivered Pathaan, and with King, the goal is to surpass the benchmark set by the YRF Spy Universe film. Sid wants everything to be perfect on paper before going on floors.”
King will mark the big-screen debut of Suhana Khan, who previously made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies on Netflix. The film will also feature an impressive ensemble cast, including Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhay Verma, and Jaideep Ahlawat.

Chinmayi Sripada DEFENDS Ranbir Kapoor’s casting as Lord Ram in Ramayana amid backlash over old beef comment
Ever since the first... Read More
Ever since the first glimpse of Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious film Ramayana was unveiled, a section of moviegoers has been eager to see Ranbir Kapoor portray Lord Rama. However, the casting has also sparked controversy, particularly among a group of online trolls who are criticising the actor for his past remarks about eating beef. While both the makers and Ranbir Kapoor have remained tight-lipped on the matter, singer Chinmayi Sripada has stepped in to defend the actor.
The controversy resurfaced when an X (formerly Twitter) user posted, “Beef eater will be playing the role of Bhagavan Ram now! What's wrong with Bollywood?” Chinmayi swiftly responded, stating, “A babaji who uses the name of God can be a rapist and he can keep getting parole to get votes in bhakt India — however what someone eats is a big problem.”
When another user replied, “How can one bad thing justify another bad thing?” Chinmayi remained firm and added, “Nice. So someone playing a ROLE is the same 'bad' as a rapist campaigning for votes amongst you. You deserve to have Ram Rahim as your local MP and visit your house personally.”
For context, the controversy stems from an old interview during the promotions of Rockstar in 2011, where Ranbir had said on camera, “My family is from Peshawar, so a lot of Peshawari food has come with them. I am a mutton, paya, and beef fan. Yeah, I am a big beef fan.”
Despite the backlash, anticipation remains high for Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Ram, with Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. The film is planned as a two-part release, with Part 1 scheduled for Diwali 2026 and Part 2 following in Diwali 2027.

The teaser of Ramayana was unveiled in a grand manner on July 3 and it got an unanimously positive response. Two days later, a report in a newspaper emerged that besides the principal cast mentioned on the poster, the film also stars Anil Kapoor, Adinath Kothare, Vikrant Massey, Vivek Oberoi and many others. This article re-ignited speculation that even Bobby Deol stars in the film. Some even speculated that the actor would be seen in the film as Kumbhakaran. It led to curiosity as his brother Sunny Deol stars in the film as Lord Hanuman.
Bollywood Hungama, however, has learned that Bobby Deol is not a part of Ramayana in any capacity. A trade source told us, “The reports are inaccurate. His name just cropped up all of a sudden.”
The source further said, “Ramayana is one of the most anticipated upcoming films of 2026. Given the scale of the project, casting speculations have been rife, but it is important to separate facts from rumours. Here’s hoping all the speculation regarding Bobby Deol’s involvement in Ramayana is put to rest soon.”
Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. The music is by Hans Zimmer and A R Rahman and the VFX is by 8-time Academy Award winners, DNEG. Part 1 of Ramayana will be released on Diwali 2026 and Part 2 on Diwali 2027. It is produced by Namit Malhotra and directed by Nitesh Tiwari of Dangal (2016) and Chhichhore (2019) fame.
Meanwhile, Bobby Deol is gearing up for the release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1. Starring Pawan Kalyan in the lead along with Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi and Sathyaraj, it arrives in cinemas on July 24. His other big release in 2025 is Alpha, a part of the YRF Spy Universe. He’ll be seen as the villain while Alia Bhatt and Sharvari will essay the role of protagonists. It’ll hit cinemas on Christmas. This will be followed by Jana Nayagan, the much-awaited final film of Vijay Thalapathy before he completely dives into politics. It will release theatrically on January 9, 2026.

Dhurandhar sparks debate over 20-year age gap between Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun
Ranveer Singh... Read More
Ranveer Singh revealed the first look of his next film, Dhurandhar, on his birthday, July 6. Although the visuals and Singh's strong screen presence received widespread praise, the 20-year age difference between him and the film's female lead, Sara Arjun, has sparked widespread discussion. Numerous social media users have criticized the casting choice.
Dhurandhar’s striking visuals and Ranveer Singh's intense look captured everyone's attention and sparked curiosity. With the film set for a grand theatrical release on December 5, the first look promo is also gaining widespread attention and has ignited a debate over the 20-year age gap between Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun, with many pointing out the unusual pairing.
Sara Arjun is a well-known child artist in South Indian cinema and has also appeared in Hindi films. She has acted in several Tamil movies as a child artist and recently portrayed the younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan films.
Although the specifics of their roles in Dhurandhar remain undisclosed, the first look promo has already stirred conversations, with many questioning the significant age gap between the lead actors.
An X user noted that Sara might have been 18 years old during the filming of Dhurandhar. Another user commented, "Can you imagine a 40-year-old actor like #RanveerSingh doing romance with a 20-year-old girl like #SaraArjun in #Dhurandhar? This only happens in #Bollywood."
Dhurandhar is an original story, reportedly inspired by Ajit Doval (the Indian super spy and National Security Advisor), and follows a plot where he goes undercover in enemy territory to avert a major crisis. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film stars Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Madhavan, Akshay Khanna, and Arjun Rampal in key roles.
Presented by Jio Studios, the film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. It is set for a box office clash this December with Prabhas and director Maruthi's The Raja Saab.

EXCLUSIVE: Pakistan recreated in Thailand for Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar
Yesterday, on the... Read More
Yesterday, on the occasion of Ranveer Singh’s birthday, the much-awaited teaser of Dhurandhar was unveiled and it met with a rocking response. The casting, the historical backdrop, the BGM and the association of Uri (2019) maker Aditya Dhar as its director have further contributed to its buzz. Bollywood Hungama now brings to you a fascinating trivia about the film, which will surely surprise you.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Several scenes of Dhurandhar are set in Pakistan. Interestingly, these scenes have been shot in Thailand”
It is difficult to imagine the Asian country to be depicted as Pakistan, possibly because the topography of both regions is different. The source, however, assured, “The makers have taken all the care to ensure that the shooting location ditto looks like our neighbouring country, as evident in the trailer. Also, we must understand that Thailand is not just beaches, sea and islands and has a lot more to offer. Moreover, the government of Thailand provides excellent facilities. They extended all possible cooperation to the team of Dhurandhar. As a result, shooting there was an ideal choice and the makers were happy that they took the decision.”
Shooting in Thailand was quite common for Hindi films at one point. Some of the notable films in last 15-20 films that were shot there were Wanted (2009), Ready (2011), Student Of The Year (2012), Housefull 2 (2012), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Entertainment (2014), Baaghi 2 (2016) Baar Baar Dekho (2016), Junglee (2019), etc. Kabir Khan’s ambitious web series The Forgotten Army (2020) was also partly filmed in Thailand.
Sooryavanshi (2021) was perhaps the last film of the pre-pandemic era to be shot in Thailand. Post-pandemic, Rajshri’s Dono (2023) was set in the Asian country. Shanaya Kapoor’s film Bedhadak, directed by Shashank Khaitan, was all set to be filmed in Bangkok but it was shelved.
Not just Bollywood but even Hollywood has been enchanted by the country. The shoot of this week’s big Hollywood release, Jurassic World Rebirth, began with a schedule in Thailand. Season 3 of the popular Netflix show The White Lotus took place in Bangkok, Phuket and Koh Samui. According to reports, it resulted in a significant increase in internet searches for its shooting venue, leading to a surge in tourism.
The upcoming highly awaited show Alien: Earth, based on the Alien franchise, was shot in Thailand last year. It has an Indian connection as it features Adarsh Gourav. Moreover, makers of the Marvel show Ms Marvel (2022), which had Farhan Akhtar in a crucial role, also recreated Pakistan in Thailand, just like Dhurandhar.
Coming back to Dhurandhar, it also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun. Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, it will be released in cinemas on December 5.

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.”

A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh)
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.”
