31 December,2025 10:45 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActor Sunny Leone's New Year 2026 event at a restaurant in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura has been cancelled following strong objections from seers and religious groups in the city. The event was reportedly planned at a bar on New Year's Eve. However, shortly after the announcement, several seers raised objections, expressing anger about the show. In a letter addressed to the District Magistrate on Monday, Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sangharsh Nyas requested the cancellation of the event. Amid the uproar by religious groups and mindful of the sanctity of the holy city, the event organisers decided to cancel the program. Girraj Singh, a Hindu group leader, spoke to ANI and thanked the state government for listening to the people. He praised the government for respecting the "sentiments" of the region and the sadhus, saying: "I would like to thank the Uttar Pradesh government on behalf of all the people of Braj Bhumi. I want to express my gratitude to the government for considering the sentiments of the people of Braj Bhumi and also for respecting the sadhus and sants." Religious leader Dinesh Falhari Dharmacharya also shared the reasons behind the opposition to the event. Referring to Braj Bhumi as the land of "penance" and Lord Krishna, he stated: "The sadhus and saints had opposed this event because this is Braj Bhumi, the land where Lord Krishna performed the Maharas. This is a land of penance, and such events should not be held here. We would like to thank the administration for understanding our feelings and cancelling this event."

31 December,2025 07:53 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamThe shooting and post-production of Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s romantic drama Mere Raho wrapped up in April. The makers then handed over the film’s marketing to Aamir Khan, who, trade sources informed, was responsible for changing the original release date of December 12 to the summer of 2026. A source told mid-day, “December is a high-pressure corridor. Dhurandhar was big and Aamir had pre-empted it. Moreover, December had another big ticket rom-com lined up with Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday-starrer [Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri]. Thus, it made commercial sense to de-clutter the calendar and avoid overlap, especially at the distribution and exhibition level.” According to insiders, Mere Raho is now being lined up for a July 2026 release, a window considered favourable for urban romantic dramas. “July offers better leg room for a film like Mere Raho. It needs time, repeat value, and controlled screen density. The summer corridor allows the film to breathe without the noise that comes with the festive and holiday rush,” explained the source. An official announcement is expected in the coming months.

You made me relive certain things that were in my mind, and moment by moment, when I saw it on the screen, I got so emotional, I couldn’t stop crying.

When he is in the frame you only watch him, and this is not a grandfather speaking; this is a hardened viewer of cinema. And the film, flawless in its presentation… its writing… its direction… and when it ends, the eyes filled with tears of joy and pride, unable to speak out.”
30 December,2025 08:37 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAfter the explosive success of Dhurandhar, several media reports emerged suggesting Ranveer Singh has decided to step away from Farhan Akhtar’s highly anticipated film Don 3. Although there has been no official confirmation about the same from the actor or the production team, newer reports claim that the makers have already started searching for a new lead. Hrithik Roshan to replace Ranveer Singh in Don 3? A recent Filmfare report suggests that the makers have been searching for a new lead for Don 3, and Hrithik Roshan has emerged as a strong contender. The report suggests that although the makers are keen to have the War 2 actor become the new face of the iconic franchise, discussions are still at a very early stage. A source reportedly told Filmfare, “Following Ranveer’s exit, Hrithik has emerged as a strong contender for the role. While discussions are still at a very early stage, it will be interesting to see whether Hrithik ultimately comes on board." Notably, Hrithik had a cameo in Don 2 when Shah Rukh Khan’s character disguises himself as Hrithik’s character in one of the scenes. According to the Filmfare report, the makers are mindful that the lead actor for Don 3 must be a well-established name, as the star will be stepping into the iconic shoes of Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Ranveer reportedly moved on from the project following the massive success of Dhurandhar, citing creative differences. He is now allegedly shifting his focus toward Jai Mehta’s upcoming venture, Pralay. Farhan Akhtar once shared that Hrithik Roshan was the first choice for Don Interestingly, last year, Farhan Akhtar had revealed that Hrithik was initially the first choice for Don before Shah Rukh Khan was cast. During a conversation with Raj Shamani, Farhan Akhtar recalled, “Hrithik and I did Lakshya, and we had an incredible, wonderful time working together. So I reached out to Hrithik and said, ‘I’m thinking I’m going to remake Don.’ He said, ‘Sounds amazing, dude!’ I said, ‘Let me write it, and I’ll bring it to you.’ So he said, ‘Cool.’" However, he revealed that when he was writing the film, it was Shah Rukh Khan's face that popped into his head. He added, “But I’d already given my word to Hrithik. So I called up Hrithik and told him, ‘I’m writing the film I spoke to you about. But the more I’m writing, I’m feeling I should reach out to Shah Rukh for this film. I’ll never forget, he said, ‘Farhan, you have to make your film, and in the best way possible. If you think he’s the guy, please go ahead and call him. Don’t worry about me.’ That is a very gracious thing."
