After fifty days of filming, the supernatural thriller Jatadhara has officially wrapped its principal photography. Producer Prerna Arora promises that Jatadhara will deliver an experience never before seen in Indian cinema. “Saying that might sound like bragging — and honestly, every filmmaker praises their own film. It’s the classic ‘my-baby-is-the-cutest’ syndrome. But this time, take my word for it: we’ve created a supernatural universe that is truly out of this world. Jatadhara is poised to redefine genre storytelling across both Telugu and Hindi cinema.”

Presented by Zee Studios and helmed by Umesh K. R. Bansal and Prerna Arora, Jatadhara features an intriguing cast led by Sudheer Babu and Sonakshi Sinha, with Shilpa Shirodkar, Ravi Prakash, Indira Krishna, Naveen Neni, Shreya Sharma, Subhalekha Sudhakar, Rajeev Kanakala, and Jhansi in key roles.

An additional lead actor — whose identity remains under wraps — is also said to play a significant role in the film. Jatadhara is directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal. The production team includes producers Shivin Narang, Aruna Agarwal, Shilpa Singhal, and Nikhil Nanda, with co-producers Akshay Kejriwal and Kussum Arora, and creative producer Divya Vijay.

Prerna Arora adds, “After the National Award-winning Rustom with Akshay Kumar, this marks my second major collaboration with Zee Studios. It feels like a homecoming. I’ve never felt more comfortable as a producer.”

Shraddha Kapoor’s recent visit to Maddock Films’ office in Mumbai on May 26, 2025, sparked a lot of excitement and rumours about a potential new project. According to a report by Pinkvilla, the actress was there for a creative meeting with producer Dinesh Vijan, hinting at an exciting collaboration ahead.

An industry source revealed, “Shraddha Kapoor met with Dinesh Vijan, and they were later joined by Laxman Uttekar, the director of Chhaava.”

According to the insider, the meeting was more than just informal—it included a story narration that impressed Shraddha. “Laxman and Shraddha talked over a script, which she really liked and has given her initial approval to. If all goes smoothly, Shraddha Kapoor is set to lead Laxman Uttekar’s next film following Chhaava.”

The new project is said to be adapted from a well-known Marathi novel and will feature Shraddha in a role deeply connected to cultural roots. The source added, “All other details are kept under wraps for now. There is a possibility of an A-List male lead also to come onboard the film.”

Although discussions are still in the initial phase, the likelihood of this collaboration moving forward is high. Shraddha has maintained a strong professional relationship with Maddock Films, making a reunion quite probable. The source further stated, “Dinesh Vijan is presently on a dream run, and is looking to create content that breaks away from the trends. Dinoo, along with Laxman Uttekar have pitched a subject to Shraddha, that they truly believe in and is deep rooted in the Maharashtrian culture.”

Meanwhile, Maddock Films is preparing several other big projects. Besides this untitled film, Laxman Uttekar and Dinesh Vijan are working on a multi-starrer movie featuring three prominent male leads, with production expected to start between 2026 and 2027.

Producer Dinesh Vijan is currently enjoying tremendous success, having produced two blockbuster films that each grossed over Rs 500 crores. He also plans to expand his horror-comedy franchise, with Thama—featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles—scheduled to hit theatres during Diwali 2025.

Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in Stree 2, a horror-comedy released in 2024. She starred alongside Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the movie became a massive hit at the box office and went on to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year.

Later Akshay sued Paresh for leaving the comic caper.

The journalist happened to mention that a lot of fans feel that Paresh Rawal was foolish to leave the project. On this, Akshay Kumar said, “Firstly, I’ll like to tell you that using such kind of word for my co-star, ‘foolish’, is something I’d not appreciate. That’s not right.

A woman allegedly entered Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur’s residence in Bandra West without permission, claiming she had brought gifts for him. The incident took place on May 26, while the actor was away for a shoot. According to the reports, the woman has been identified as 47-year-old Gazala Jhakaria Siddique, a resident of Dubai. The actor’s maid, Sangita Pawar, who was alone at the time, filed a complaint at Khar police station.

As per the FIR, the woman rang the doorbell around 6 pm. She asked the maid if it was Aditya Roy Kapur’s home and said she had come to deliver clothes and other gifts for him. Believing her, the maid let her in.

Shortly after, the actor returned home. When informed about the visitor, Aditya told the maid that he did not know her. The woman tried to approach him, which made the actor leave the house and contact the building’s society manager, Jayashree Dunkdu. The society manager quickly informed the actor’s manager, Shruti Rao, who arrived at the scene and called the police. Even after being asked to leave, the woman refused to go and insisted on staying at the actor’s home.

Khar police reached the location and questioned the woman. While she shared her name and said she was from Dubai, she did not clearly explain why she came or how she found the actor’s address.

The police later registered a case under Section 331(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with house trespass. Preliminary investigation suggests she entered the actor’s home without permission and may have had criminal intent.

The trailer of Housefull 5 has officially dropped, offering a sneak peek into what appears to be another chaotic comedy in the long-running franchise. Set primarily on a luxury cruise, the film brings together an ensemble cast headlined by Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh yet again along with Abhishek Bachchan and blends classic Housefull-style humour with a murder mystery twist.

The story kicks off with three characters — played by Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh — each claiming to be Jolly, the rightful heir of a 100-year-old billionaire, portrayed by veteran actor Ranjeet. The situation spirals into confusion as they arrive with their respective partners, only to discover they may be caught in a larger conundrum involving mistaken identities, wife swapping, and even a murder.

The trailer showcases a series of comedic moments, including Akshay Kumar getting attacked by monkeys and Johnny Lever contributing his signature comic flair. The exact character arcs aren’t revealed in the trailer, but the cast includes names like Fardeen Khan, Chitrangda Singh, Chunky Pandey, and Dino Morea — all seemingly caught in the mix of confusion and misdirection aboard the cruise. Adding to the intrigue are Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt, who appear to be playing investigating officers trying to untangle the web of lies and secrets surrounding the murder. A dramatic entry by Nana Patekar further adds to the layered mystery, teasing more twists as the story unfolds.

Housefull 5 is co-written and directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Warda Nadiadwala, and Firuzi Khan under the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner. The film marks the fifth instalment in the Housefull series and is scheduled to release on June 6, 2025.

While the trailer hints at a familiar mix of slapstick and situational comedy, it also sets the stage for a plot-driven narrative with a murder mystery twist — a departure from the usual tone of the previous films in the franchise.

Urvashi Rautela has hit back strongly at criticism aimed at her red-carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. The actress issued a detailed statement addressing an online post by popular social media account Diet Sabya, which mocked her fashion moment at Cannes by writing: “Not the first lady blocking everyone’s way for her photo OP” — a dig at Urvashi’s own remarks about being the “first woman” in a certain context.

Addressing the post, Urvashi shared a note on Instagram where she called out the platform and defended her presence and conduct at Cannes. She wrote, “To my global fans & supporters the Cannes Festival community, and champions of truth, I rise with unyielding strength against the cowardly lies of Diet Sabya, a faceless page that dares to falsely claim I blocked a staircase. Let the truth reign: my team secured full permission for a photoshoot on a designated staircase, as did others, in strict adherence to every rule of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, which I honor with unwavering respect.”

She further continued, “Diet Sabya, a cheap imitation of Diet Prada, lacks even an ounce of originality, thriving only on venomous attacks against hardworking outsiders who dare to shine. Their baseless narratives target those, like me, who elevate India’s pride on the global stage. I have blocked and reported this irrelevant entity, and I call on all to dismiss their envious slander. My charisma, forged through relentless dedication and international acclaim, remains untouchable. No one — not Diet Sabya, nor their petty lies — can dim the light of Urvashi Rautela, a force that leads and inspires. No matter how hard you troll me we will never pay you like others. #paidtrolls.”

The actress also responded to a separate report which allegedly compared her to Aishwarya Rai, implying that she was trying to copy the former Miss World. Urvashi responded to the remark with another post. She shared, “So apparently I’m ‘trying to be Aishwarya Rai with 0 charisma’? Darling… Aishwarya is iconic. But I’m not here to be anyone’s duplicate. I’m the blueprint. Cannes didn’t invite me to blend in — I came to stand out. If my look, my style, or my confidence makes you uncomfortable… maybe take a deep breath (or two).” “I’m not everyone’s cup of tea — I’m more like champagne with fireworks. And charisma? Sweetheart, if you could measure it, I’d break the scale. To all the keyboard critics — keep talking. To all the queens owning their space — keep slaying. To myself — keep shining, because no one does it like you. #UrvashiRautela #TooMuchCharismaToHandle #CannesWithConfidence #NotYourCopyPaste #QueenEnergy #Cannes2025,” she added.

Sonu Sood, widely praised for his humanitarian efforts during the COVID-19 crisis and often referred to as a messiah, is now facing criticism for a recent video. In the clip, the actor promotes road safety but is seen riding a motorcycle without a helmet or any protective gear. This has not only sparked backlash but also led to legal issues, with the Spiti police initiating an investigation into the matter.

In the viral video, Sonu Sood is seen riding a motorcycle through the snow-covered roads of Spiti, shirtless and dressed only in shorts and sunglasses. The clip, shared by a local Instagram page, was captioned, “This is Spiti… only the real ones make it here.” As the video gained traction online, many netizens began to question his credibility and involvement in the road safety campaign.

Meanwhile, the Lahaul-Spiti Police have initiated an investigation into the matter and issued an official statement. It reads: “A video is going viral on social media in which a Bollywood actor is seen violating traffic rules in the Lahaul-Spiti district. Preliminary findings suggest the video may be from 2023. The investigation to verify its authenticity has been assigned to the DySP Headquarters, Kyelang.” The statement further added, “The district police will take all necessary legal action as required. We urge all citizens and tourists to adhere to traffic regulations and maintain disciplined, responsible conduct.”

As criticism mounted online, social media users began calling out Sonu Sood for his actions. One user commented, “Sir, you’ve always inspired people with your compassion. Please don’t set a wrong example by riding without a helmet or proper safety gear.” Another remarked, “If this is how celebrities act in ecologically sensitive areas, what kind of message are we sending to the youth?”

Earlier this year, Sonu spoke out in support of road safety when his wife was involved in a road accident but was saved because of the seat belt. He had stated, “There’s a very important message. Last week, there was a major accident in Nagpur involving my wife, her nephew, and her sister. The entire world has seen the state of the car after the crash. What saved them was the seat belt—that’s the only thing that made the difference.”
