Tickets for the tour will go live starting July 26th at 12PM (Noon) IST, exclusively on BookMyShow, India’s leading entertainment destination, with ticket prices starting at INR 1,250/-.

The decade-long partnership between DJ Snake and Sunburn stands at its strongest, bringing back the EDM artist for a third time, after his last performance in India in 2022. Few artists command the kind of cult following in India that DJ Snake does. From sold-out shows and roaring crowd chants to fans belting out every lyric at full volume, the French hitmaker has created magic every time he has hit the stage in India and he is now back to bring that energy to a whole new level.

Speaking about his return to India, DJ Snake said, “The passion and the love in India - it all hits different. I still remember the energy during my last visit with thousands of voices singing every word back to me; It was pure madness! It’s the way the crowd gives everything they’ve got. Every time I come back, that connection feels so deep. See you soon India!”

Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn, excited to welcome DJ Snake back to India, added, “DJ Snake’s return to India for his third Sunburn Arena tour speaks to the incredible demand and the unique bond he has built with India over the years. It’s been great to work with him over the years and it’s truly heartening to see artists of his stature come back to perform and to larger crowds each time. At Sunburn, our goal has always been to champion India as a top destination for global talent by delivering world-class experiences. This tour reminds us of how far we’ve come in shaping the country’s EDM landscape and the belief our fans place in us is what keeps us going. With lots in store, this one is set to be truly special.”.

This tour isn’t just another comeback but a celebration of the unstoppable bond between DJ Snake and his Indian fans and a testament to Sunburn’s pivotal role in placing India on the global map of world-class electronic music experiences.

Fans are excitedly awaiting DJ Snake’s upcoming album, ‘Nomad’ slated to release this September. With Grammy nominations, MTV and Billboard Music Awards, billions of streams and a discography that has redefined the sound of global pop and dance music, DJ Snake’s hit list reads like a cultural soundtrack of the last decade with the club-rattling ‘Turn Down for What’, the viral smash ‘Taki Taki’, the all-time favourite ‘Let Me Love You’ and the generational anthem ‘Lean On’. His boundary-breaking collaborations with the likes of Lil Jon, Selena Gomez, Cardi B, Justin Bieber and Major Lazer have turned dance floors into global gatherings.

DJ Snake made history this May by smashing records as the biggest solo electronic artist with over 100,000 tickets sold within minutes for his electrifying show at Stade de France, followed by a legendary afterparty at Accor Arena. A regular headliner at the biggest music festivals in the world, DJ Snake is known for his electrifying sets that blend trap, hip-hop, pop, Latin beats and desi flavour with seamless ease. His shows are full-blown spectacles packed with jaw-dropping production, explosive visuals and unrelenting crowd energy.

When it comes to India, the connection runs deep. His past tours have delivered unforgettable memories from surprise cameos and all-out fan frenzies to off-stage moments like hanging out with Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan, and expressing his desire to collaborate with Jacqueline Fernandez. DJ Snake stands out as he truly immerses himself in the country’s culture, energy and fandom.

Sponsored by Tuborg Zero Packaged Drinking Water and driven by Hyundai, the Sunburn Arena ft. DJ Snake India Tour is produced by Spacebound and Laqshya Media Group in association with RhythmBox, Big Dream Entertainment and Boombox continuing Sunburn’s mission to deliver premium experiences that match the scale and ambition of India’s evolving live entertainment landscape.

As India continues to cement its place as one of the world’s most passionate EDM markets, Sunburn’s role in shaping that narrative becomes even more vital and DJ Snake’s return is the ultimate proof to that.

The stage is set. The beats are building. India, are you ready for DJ Snake?

Bollywood actress and animal lover Disha Patani has taken to social media to raise awareness for a deeply moving cause — the rescue and rehabilitation of Hari, a severely abused elephant saved from the streets of Uttar Pradesh by Wildlife SOS.

In an emotional Instagram story, Disha shared an image of Hari along with a heartfelt message that shines a spotlight on the elephant’s painful past and the urgent need for help. Chained and forced to beg for years, Hari’s condition is critical. His legs are deformed, his body is fragile, and his spirit bears the scars of long-term cruelty and neglect.

Now in the care of Wildlife SOS, Hari's journey to recovery has just begun. However, the organization has emphasized that time is of the essence. The elephant needs round-the-clock medical attention, specialized treatment, and intensive care to overcome the physical and emotional trauma he has endured.

Disha’s gesture is a powerful reminder of the responsibility we all share in protecting voiceless beings. Her call to action echoes louder than ever in a world where animal abuse often goes unnoticed.

Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a global leader in immersive entertainment experiences, are proud to announce that War 2 (Hindi & Telugu) will be the only Indian movie releasing across Dolby Cinema® screens in many countries on August 14th.

War 2 will also be the first Indian movie to release at Dolby Cinema in India, marking a landmark moment in cinematic storytelling and audience experience in the country. In addition, the movie has planned it’s release in Hindi and in Telugu, at Dolby Cinema sites in North America, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and many other markets across the globe.

Releasing on August 14, War 2 ushers in a new era in India’s filmmaking with the subtle details and ultra-vivid colors of Dolby Vision® and the lifelike and immersive sound of Dolby Atmos®, which bring creators’ vision to life by fully capturing their artistic imagination and pushing the boundaries of their art forward.

Moviegoers in India can experience this high-octane action spectacle the way the filmmakers intended at India’s first Dolby Cinema opened earlier this month at City Pride Multiplexes, Kharadi, Pune.

In 2020, YRF became the first music label in India to offer a Dolby Atmos Music experience through a catalogue of hit music tracks under the album ‘Best of YRF’. YRF’s DHOOM:3 in 2013 was among the earliest Hindi movies to be released in Dolby Atmos, delivering breathtaking audio realism, while, back in 1995, YRF’s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, was among the first few Indian movies to release in Dolby Audio. Countless movie titles and music tracks from YRF have released in Dolby, at cinemas and across streaming services.

Michael Archer, Vice President of Worldwide Cinema Sales and Partner Management, Dolby Laboratories said, “Our collaboration with Yash Raj Films spans over decades with many milestones.

“YRF has always believed in pushing boundaries to deliver the most enriching cinematic experiences to its audiences. From embracing Dolby Audio in the 90s to pioneering Dolby Atmos in our blockbusters – and now, leading the way with Dolby Cinema, we remain committed to storytelling that doesn’t just entertain, but transports you into the story. With War 2, we’re excited to bring audiences into a new era of movie experience, one where every scene is more vivid in Dolby Vision, every sound more immersive with Dolby Atmos, and the theatrical experience more unforgettable than ever before at Dolby Cinema.” said Rohan Malhotra, Vice President- Distribution, Yash Raj Films.

With War 2, audiences won’t just watch the action - they’ll feel every moment and every heartbeat as if they are transported into the movie’s world with stunning clarity and depth.

Rapper and music producer Yo Yo Honey Singh has entered the world of luxury fashion with the launch of his own watch brand, Yo Yo Watches, in collaboration with Titan. The exclusive limited-edition collection was unveiled at a high-profile event attended by comedian Kapil Sharma and actor-singer Shehnaaz Gill.

The collection is described as a blend of bold design, meticulous engineering, and Singh’s signature aesthetic. Featuring standout bezels, precision mechanics, and a distinctive street-luxe appeal, the watches aim to reflect the artist’s personal style and evolution.

“I don't follow time. Time follows me,” said Singh at the launch. Known for his longstanding love of watches, Singh has often been spotted wearing rare and custom-made timepieces. According to insiders, his personal collection includes a dedicated travel trunk filled with unique and unreleased models.

Yo Yo Watches is pitched as an extension of Honey Singh’s journey through fame, adversity, and reinvention. “Time doesn’t wait and neither did I,” Singh said. “I’ve lived every second with purpose, pain, passion, and persistence. From the highest highs to the lowest lows, time has been my greatest teacher... That’s why this watch isn’t just about style, it’s a tribute to time itself.” The rapper emphasized that the collection was built not just around fashion but around resilience and self-transformation. “Because real time builds real people. And if I can rise, fall, and rise again—so can you,” he added.

The collaboration with Titan marks Honey Singh’s first foray into the lifestyle and luxury space. Titan, one of India’s most prominent watchmakers, has previously partnered with designers and celebrities, but this is among their boldest ventures targeting a younger, music-driven demographic. With a limited number of pieces and a high-profile launch, Yo Yo Watches aims to position itself as both a fashion accessory and a statement of personal evolution.

In a thrilling new development, the trade is buzzing with reports that none other than Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is all set to come on board for Mirai.

With Karan Johar’s keen eye for mass appeal and Dharma’s formidable distribution muscle, Mirai has the potential to become a true nationwide event film.”

Starring the charismatic Teja Sajja, who delivered the pan-India blockbuster of 2024, HanuMan, the film is helmed by visionary director Karthik Gattamneni and produced by the esteemed T G Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad.

Bayaan, a police procedural thriller headlined by Huma Qureshi, has been officially selected for the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The film will have its world premiere in TIFF’s Discovery section, making it the only Indian title featured in the category this year.

Written and directed by Bikas Ranjan Mishra of Chauranga fame, Bayaan is a co-production between Platoon One Films and Summit Studios, with additional producers Kunal Kumar and Anuj Gupta, and Switzerland-based Sadik Keshwani (Guidant Films) as co-producer. Huma Qureshi also serves as an executive producer.

The film was developed through Film Independent’s LA Residency, part of the Global Media Makers (GMM) program. During the residency, Mishra was mentored by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, The Last of Us), and received guidance from writer Jeff Stockwell and story editor Ruth Atkinson.

Mishra said, “It is my attempt to bear witness to a society in transition — and to the quiet courage of those who choose to speak. I'm deeply honoured to present my second feature, Bayaan, at the Toronto International Film Festival in the Discovery section — a platform that has launched the journeys of many filmmakers I admire and cherish.”

Huma Qureshi, who has starred in a number of Indian and international productions, described Bayaan as a "timely and powerful story" exploring themes of power, faith, and systemic injustice. "Bayaan gave me the opportunity to play the kind of character I’ve long been drawn to—someone within the justice system, yet up against forces much larger than herself. It was an absolute joy to work with a team so passionate and fearless in telling a story that feels both vital and universal," she shared.

The film also stars Chandrachur Singh, Sachin Khedekar, Paritosh Sand, Avijit Dutt, Vibhore Mayank, Sampa Mandal, Swati Das, Aditi Kanchan Singh, and Perry Chhabra.

Shiladitya Bora, founder of Platoon One Films, stated, "We firmly believe this is a film with global appeal, and TIFF is the perfect launchpad to start its journey around the world. As a producer, I’m always looking for that one script that can be a breakout film for everyone involved—and with 'Bayaan', I knew we had something powerful. At Platoon One Films, our ethos is to champion newer voices and newer stories that provoke, connect, and challenge. This film truly embodies that spirit".

Bayaan features cinematography by Udit Khurana along with editing by National Award winner A. Sreekar Prasad, music by Ajay Jayanthi, and costumes by Shilpi Agarwal. The film is supported by the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Hubert Bals Fund.

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has strongly condemned a shocking incident from Kalyan that has left social media fuming. A disturbing video, which has gone viral across platforms, shows a man identified as Gokul Jha brutally dragging a female hospital receptionist by her hair after she reportedly denied his demand to jump the queue. The victim, who sustained multiple injuries, is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Dombivli. The accused has since been detained by the police.

Reacting to the harrowing visuals, Janhvi took to her Instagram stories to express her anger and disbelief. “This man needs to be in jail. Why does anyone think this behaviour is ok? What makes him think he can raise his hand at someone like this?” “What kind of upbringing convinces you to go through with these actions without any remorse, guilt or sense of humanity? How do you live with yourself after knowing this is how your brain operates? What a shame. And shame on us for not punishing and condoning such behaviour more aggressively. Nothing excuses this,” the Mr. & Mrs. Mahi actress further wrote.

Her post struck a chord with many fans and followers, reigniting conversations around everyday violence against women and the pressing need for accountability. Celebrities speaking up in such cases not only amplify awareness but also serve as a reminder of the role public figures can play in demanding justice.

On the professional front, Janhvi Kapoor has a packed slate ahead. She is set to star in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari alongside Varun Dhawan, as well as the highly anticipated Param Sundari starring Siddharth Malhotra. She also has Peddi with Ram Charan in the pipeline. The actress also made a stunning debut at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where she walked the red carpet for her international project Homebound, co-starring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa.

While Janhvi continues to impress with her diverse roles, it’s her willingness to speak out on serious issues that’s earning her widespread respect. As more details emerge about the Kalyan incident, voices like hers are crucial in ensuring the public doesn’t look away from such disturbing acts of violence.

A lot of dust has been flying around concerning Deepika Padukone’s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next film Spirit. It has been widely reported that Vanga had Deepika replaced by another actress (Triptii Dimri) after Deepika made “unreasonable demands”, like a limited amount of working hours per day, etc.

However, for the first time here is the truth on why Deepika actually walked out of Vanga’s film Spirit starring Prabhas.

From a source very close to the development here is the truth. “Deepika loved the script and role in Sandeep Vanga’s film. The contract was being drawn up, when a week later she was offered Atlee’s film with Allu Arjun which she liked even more than Sandeep Vanga’s film. Since she couldn’t do both the projects, she decided to opt out of Spirit, citing differences of opinion on fee, work hours, etc,” said the source.

The truth is, Vanga had no objections to whatever misgivings Deepika expressed on the project. She just got an offer that she liked better and changed her mind about Spirit with Prabhas. And no harm in that. She had already worked with Prabhas in Kalki 2898 AD. Allu Arjun is going to be a new experience for her.

Salman Khan’s balcony at Galaxy Apartment has long held iconic status, as the actor traditionally greets his fans from there on occasions like Eid. Earlier this year, however, fans were disappointed when the balcony was enclosed with bulletproof glass. Many assumed it was due to the ongoing threats against the superstar. However, Khan has now disclosed the actual reason behind the decision to shield the balcony.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Salman Khan shared that the real reason behind enclosing his balcony was due to people climbing up and staying there in hopes of meeting him. “I would find them sleeping there,” he revealed as quoted by the publication. As a result, the actor decided to cover the balcony to ensure the safety of everyone at home.

For those who may not know, Salman Khan’s balcony at his Galaxy Apartments residence was enclosed with bulletproof glass in January this year. This heightened security measure was implemented during a period when the actor was receiving multiple death threats, primarily from the gang of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

In April 2024, gunshots were fired outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in the Bandra area of Mumbai. Following the incident, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was allegedly involved. Anmol Bishnoi, the gangster’s brother, later claimed responsibility for the shooting through a post on Facebook.

Subsequently, the Mumbai Traffic Police received a threatening message from the gang, demanding Rs. 5 crores in exchange for Salman Khan’s “forgiveness.” The message warned that if the demand was not fulfilled, the actor would face a fate “worse than Baba Siddique,” who was shot dead in Mumbai on October 12, 2024.

Following these alarming events, Salman Khan’s security was significantly enhanced. In October 2024, he purchased a bulletproof Nissan Patrol SUV valued at around Rs 2 crores, imported directly from Dubai to Mumbai. Additionally, security protocols were strengthened outside the Bigg Boss 18 sets in Mumbai’s Film City. Reports also state that Khan’s security team was bolstered with an extra eight to ten armed officers, and the Mumbai Police set up a special command centre at his residence.
