Prosthetic designer Shaune Harrison had shed light on the process of designing prosthetics for the film, revealing that the character undergoes three distinct physical transformations created through complex prosthetic work He said, "The team had to carefully design multiple prosthetic pieces to maintain visual continuity throughout the shoot. “I mean, there is one main character that we're doing, for which we go through three different looks. And they're quite extensive makeups. Obviously, we'll have double makeups as well, because we always want to make sure, you know, with any film you do, you'll have a stunt double and the acting double."

07 April,2026 11:26 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSinger Jasleen Royal has joined hands with Badshah for a poignant love ode titled Inaam, which the rapper-musician says helped him explore his quieter and more vulnerable side of his artistry. Inaam, which translates to “reward”, brings together two distinct artistic identities to belt out a track on love in its quietest and deepest form. View this post on Instagram A post shared by jasleen royal (@jasleenroyal) Badshah, whose real name is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, said in a statement: “Inaam lets me explore a quieter, more vulnerable side of my artistry. It’s simple, honest and something I think a lot of people will connect with.” Royal sticks to her signature soft vocals for Inaam and traces the contours of a relationship defined by just emotional security. The track is penned by Ansh Chahal and is showcased from a feminine perspective. It centers on a quiet but decisive realization stating that love, at its most enduring, is found in presence, not performance. It captures the feeling of emotional safety of finding someone who feels like home. For Jasleen, the new track with Badshah is a very personal song for her as she says in a statement: “ It is about the kind of love that walks into your chaos and quiets everything. It is the feeling of being held, like coming home, even when everything else feels uncertain. There’s a quiet kind of love in it, where their happiness matters just as much as your own.” Royal, who stepped into Hindi cinema with Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan-starrer film Khoobsurat with a song titled Preet in 2014, added: “With this song, you’ll hear a different side of Badshah.” The singer further shared: “We’ve all seen his high-energy side, but here, you get to hear something much more vulnerable and real.” Badshah steps away from his signature dynamic persona as he sprinkles a compelling dimension to the track. He adds a more restrained, profound and introspective performance for Inaam, which is released via Universal Music. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

07 April,2026 10:52 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSBollywood star couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were spotted at the Mumbai airport on Monday night, along with their little baby girl Raha. The couple, along with their daughter, seems to have flown out to celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary on April 15. In the video, Alia looked stylish in her loose beige shirt paired with comfortable trousers and sneakers. Ranbir seemed to opt for casual in a T-shirt and pants. Before the security check, little Raha appeared quite sleepy and was seen being carried by Alia in her arms. Post security check, Raha suddenly seemed to have woken up and turned active, and was seen running around at the airport. Alia was seen following her around, trying to catch hold of her in a playful moment. Talking about the superstars Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s love story, it began on the sets of their movie Brahmastra Part One: Shiva. The movie, which was directed by Ayan Mukerji, was released in 2022. The couple managed to keep their relationship away from the media spotlight for the longest time. After dating for a few years, the couple tied the knot on April 14, 2022, in an intimate ceremony at their Mumbai home with just their close friends and family members in attendance. A few months later, in June, they announced their first pregnancy and welcomed their daughter Raha on November 6, 2022. Alia, in many of her interviews, has always spoken about how amazing Ranbir Kapoor is as a husband and is an even better father. By marrying Ranbir Kapoor, Alia has become a part of Bollywood's prestigious Kapoor family. On the professional front, Ranbir Kapoor is all set to essay the role of Lord Ram in his upcoming movie Ramayana. The movie stars Sai Pallavi, Ravie Dubey, Sunny Deol, and Yash in important roles. The movie is set to release in Diwali this year. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

07 April,2026 10:24 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSThe fans of Akshay Kumar and Tabu first watched the beloved duo in the hit film Tu Chor Mai Sipahi in 1996, but you will be surprised to know that their relationship dates back to the time before they even debuted in Bollywood. At the trailer launch of Bhooth Bangla in Mumbai on Monday, Akshay Kumar revealed that he met Tabu 39 years ago when they used to attend a dance academy together to learn dance. While addressing the media, Akshay Kumar recalled his initial meetings with Tabu before he debuted in Bollywood. "I would like to tell you all something about me and Tabu. I know Tabu from 39 years. We used to go to the dance academy together to learn dance," said Akshay Kumar. "He used to pick me up on a bike," added Tabu. Tabu and Akshay last worked together in the film Hera Pheri, which was directed by Priyadarshan in 2000. The duo have come back together after 25 years to share the screen in the upcoming film Bhooth Bangla. It is directed by Priyadarshan and also stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mithila Palkar, late actor Asrani and others in prominent roles. The makers have finally shared the trailer of the movie today to offer a glimpse at the much-awaited reunion of Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar. The three-minute and three-second trailer opened with the introduction of a demon, Vadhusur, who has grown powerful since its emergence 1000 years ago. It was followed by the appearance of Akshay Kumar, whose eyes are on a lavish bungalow for sale, which also appears to be haunted by the Vadhusur. While Akshay is hell-bent on selling the property, several housemates experience paranormal activities in the house. Paresh Rawal was also seen giving warning to Akshay about the haunted property. The interaction between Akshay and Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav and Asrani is nostalgic, as it aims to create a similar kind of slapstick comedy which was earlier seen in films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Phir Hera Pheri. The trailer concluded with Akshay's physical combat with Vadhusur. Apart from the OG comedy actors, the film also stars Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi and Mithila Palkar in the lead role. While Akshay Kumar leads the charge, Tabu stands out as a surprise element in the film. Her presence in the sneak peek hints at a layered performance that blends humour with intrigue, adding an extra dimension to the narrative. Balaji Motion Pictures shared the trailer on their Instagram handle today. They wrote, "Welcome to Bhooth Bangla. Yahan na toh log normal hain... Aur upar se Bangla bhi paranormal hai. (Here, neither people are normal, and the house is paranormal too) Enter at your own risk." The film is slated to release in theatres on April 16.

We worship and draw strength from the values these icons stand for... Bhai as Rama moves us because he doesn’t only look divine and graceful but because he radiates the strength of character that Ram Ji embodies.” “The innocence and purity in his eyes and nobility in his expression prove that nobody in present day and age can play Rama as beautifully as Bhai would have played it.

The response has been overwhelmingly strong across markets. The film has seen extremely high occupancy rates, multiple sold-out shows, and has cultivated a new market in dubbed versions, indicating pan-India appeal. Culturally, the Dhurandhar franchise has evolved into a mass phenomenon. Its blend of hyper-stylized action, nationalism, and star power has resonated strongly with audiences, reflecting current cinematic trends. Viral moments, music, and even off-screen incidents have amplified its reach, turning it into more than just a film, a conversation driver. The sequel solidifies the franchise as a defining force in modern Bollywood spectacle cinema. However, the film has also riled up a section of the audience, with many claiming it to be pro-establishment and pro-BJP propaganda.

07 April,2026 09:39 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSVeteran actor Ranjeet was recently seen putting his best foot forward at the gym at the age of 84. The actor was seen trying his best to perform the cable chest fly exercise, pulling the handles inward on the gym machine. In the video, Ranjeet can be seen attempting the gym exercise as his daughter, who is also his gym trainer, motivates him with a Bollywood twist. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ranjeet (@ranjeetthegoli) Initially, the 83-year-old actor is seen struggling with movement and coordination. His daughter standing right behind him guides him through the exercise As the veteran actor is unable to do the exercise correctly, his daughter opts for a fun trick, and playfully reminds him of his old Bollywood days, referring to when he would as a villain, grab or pull heroines in movies. Ranjeet instantly is seen at ease and humorously states, “Toh aise bolo na.” Immediately after taking that cue, the actor is seen performing the exercise in the same exaggerated and dramatic style but this time using the gym instrument. The actor took to a social media account to share this fun video and captioned it as, “Ayeee... Agar aisa hi workout karuga, to hamesha fit rahuga... tnx to my coach & daughter.” Talking about Ranjeet, the actor started as one of the most recognised villains in Hindi cinemas, especially during the 1970s and 80's of Bollywood. While it is said that the actor in real life is a very good human being, on screen, he only essayed the roles of scary and evil villains. The actor has appeared in many movies, namely Amar Akbar Anthony, Namak Halal, Lawaris, and Sharmeelee. The actor has been a part of the industry for over 5 decades now.

07 April,2026 09:33 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSGaali mat do Aditya Dhar. Pic/Yogen Shah; (right) Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhry Aslam in ‘Dhurandhar’ franchise. Pic/Youtube The overzealous morality police is at it again, busy pushing its idea of “sanskaar” onto everyone else. Reports suggest a revised version of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, starring Ranveer Singh, quietly made its way to theatres last weekend. The original fix? A stray cameraman caught in a mirror during a crucial scene. But that wasn’t all. According to a Bollywood Hungama report, the makers had earlier muted a few profanities while letting the rest slide. Not anymore. In the latest cut, Sanjay Dutt’s SP Chaudhry Aslam gets firmly censored during the Lyari sequence — his actions remain, but his words? Gone. Even the supporting cast has been scrubbed clean of the colourful language. Apparently, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had initially recommended 21 cuts in the Aditya Dhar directorial venture. Tough luck if you missed the earlier version. You’re now stuck with a sanitised, slightly neutered edit. So much for creative freedom, eh? Ranveer Singh in ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ I confess... Amitabh Bachchan. Pic/Instagram; (right) Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Pic/PTI In a refreshingly candid moment, Abhishek Bachchan admitted he once struggled under the weight of his father Amitabh Bachchan’s legacy — trying to fill his shoes while quietly understanding wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s global fame. On a podcast with Lilly Singh, he said, “Have you seen my wife? Have you ever seen her on a red carpet? It’s the most daunting thing for me to go on a red carpet, period. And if I have to do it with her, it’s terrifying. They’re all professionals, and they’re so good at it. I’m like a block of wood. I don’t know what to do. Should I keep my hands in my pockets? I’m very awkward. So they [photogs]always end up saying, ‘One more smile, please’.” Now that kind of honesty, we like! Second innings! JD Majethia with wife Nipa Majethia Love gets a sequel in real life! Actor and producer Jamnadas Majethia tied the knot again over the weekend, stepping into what he calls the “second innings” with his wife Nipa Majethia. Sharing glimpses of the celebrations on Instagram, he wrote, “This reel took its own sweet time to come out, but then again, our marriage has been running on the same timeline.” Calling it a labour of love, he admitted the video was delayed thanks to work, endless edits, and “a little bit of life drama”. “Between endless edits, work chaos, and a little bit of life drama — this one kept getting pushed. But looking at it now, feels like every bit of that wait was worth it.” Awww... Any body can dance? Remo D’Souza and Raghav Juyal Director Remo D’Souza is ready to make you groove again. The filmmaker has begun work on the third instalment of the ABCD franchise. As per reports on Bollywood Hungama, Remo and his team have finalised the story. While the lead cast remains under wraps, we hear that Raghav Juyal will reunite with Remo for this one, along with some from the previous cast. Story locked, beats pending. Are you ready to dance again? Rs 59.90 crApproximate global collection of ‘ABCD’ (2013) Rs 161.49 crApproximate global collection of ‘ABCD 2’ (2015)
07 April,2026 09:31 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamLegendary actress Sridevi’s demise left Janhvi Kapoor grappling with an irreplaceable void. In a candid chat, the actress opened up about the harsh criticism her mother once faced, including being labelled a homewrecker. She also shared how losing her so publicly became the biggest trauma she has yet to fully process. Janhvi Kapoor recalls people calling Sridevi homewrecker In a recent chat with Raj Shamani, Janhvi recalled watching an old and vulnerable interview of Sridevi in which she spoke about her Bollywood struggle. Janhvi said, “I have seen that journey. People were not very kind when she was around. They called her a homewrecker and all the cruel things. It played on her mind and made her feel a certain way, but history is kind to people who have passed.” She also recalled a phase where Sridevi was affected by people only recognizing her for her glam image, and she vowed to break the mould with her performances. The actress also opened up about her grief and said that she hasn’t dealt with her trauma. Janhvi Kapoor said, “I try to escape my mind, my inner turmoil—the feelings that I haven’t dealt with, the trauma that I haven’t dealt with. The biggest trauma was losing my mom, especially the way I did, in front of the whole world, and dealing with that journey.” She added, “I cannot get over the pain of losing my mom. There is no one like her. I miss how funny she was. I miss who she made me, my sister, and my father. I didn’t lose one parent; I lost my father also that day—the version of him that existed when she was around.” About Boney Kapoor For those unaware, Boney Kapoor was previously married to Mona Kapoor and had two children—Arjun and Anshula Kapoor—before marrying Sridevi. The Mom actress died on February 24, 2018, at age 54 due to accidental drowning in her bathtub at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai, where she was attending a wedding.

The actress is reportedly a part of Allu Arjun and Atlee's film with Deepika Padukone, Rashmika Mandanna, and Mrunal Thakur.
07 April,2026 08:53 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentThe release of the song Sarke Chunar from KD: The Devil sparked controversy for its explicit lyrics. After the NCW sued the actors and makers, it has issued a final summons to Nora Fatehi, asking her to appear in person over the song row. The panel has also directed Sanjay Dutt to be present for the hearing. NCW gives final chance to Nora Fatehi The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Monday gave actor Nora Fatehi a final opportunity to appear before it in person in connection with the song Sarke Chunar Teri and fixed April 27 as the next date of hearing. The commission, which took suo motu cognisance of the song over its allegedly objectionable lyrics, held a hearing in the matter on April 6. Fatehi's counsel appeared before the commission during the hearing. However, the panel did not accept the representation through her lawyer and directed the actor to appear in person. "A final opportunity has been granted to Nora Fatehi to appear in person before the commission on April 27, 2026," the NCW said. Similarly, actor Sanjay Dutt, who had stated that he was abroad for professional reasons, has been directed to appear in person before the commission on April 8, 2026. The hearing was chaired by NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar. During the proceedings, lyricist Raqueeb Alam, director Prem, and representatives of KVN Productions—Gautam K M and Suprith—appeared before the commission. Rahatkar expressed concern over the lyrics of the song and said they were against the dignity of women. She rejected the contention of those summoned that they were unaware of the meaning of the lyrics. "The dignity of women cannot be compromised in the name of creativity," she said. The NCW said the persons present submitted a written apology and acknowledged that the song had a negative impact on society. They also told the panel that they would work for women's empowerment over the next three months and submit a report to the commission. About Sarke Chunar song row The controversy around Nora Fatehi centres on the song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke from the film KD: The Devil. Soon after its release, the track drew widespread backlash for allegedly vulgar lyrics and suggestive choreography. The issue escalated with legal complaints seeking a ban, citing concerns over its impact on minors and public decency. Amid mounting pressure, the makers reportedly pulled the song from YouTube, reflecting the growing tension between creative freedom and societal standards in mainstream Indian music. KD: The Devil, directed by Prem and starring Dhruv Sarja in the lead, will release on April 30.
