Boney Kapoor plans sequel to Sridevi’s last film Mom starring Khushi Kapoor; says, “She is trying to follow in the footsteps of her mother”

Producer Boney Kapoor revealed during the IIFA 2025 silver jubilee celebrations on Sunday that he is planning a sequel to Mom, Sridevi’s final film, with his daughter Khushi Kapoor.

At the IIFA 2025 green carpet media interaction, Boney Kapoor spoke about his love for his daughters, Khushi and Janhvi Kapoor, stating that they are striving to follow in their mother Sridevi’s footsteps to attain a similar level of perfection in various film industries.

Boney Kapoor shared, “I have watched all of Khushi’s films—Archies, Loveyappa, and Nadaaniyaan. I am planning a film with her too after No Entry. It would be a movie with Khushi. It could be Mom 2. She is trying to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Her mother was the top star in all the languages she worked in. I hope Khushi and Janhvi succeeded in this same level of perfection.”

Released in 2017, Mom starred Sridevi and was directed by Ravi Udyawar. She was posthumously honored with the National Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.

The producer also shared updates on his upcoming project, No Entry. Speaking about the film’s leading ladies, he mentioned that their names will be officially announced once the casting is finalized.

Boney Kapoor stated, “No Entry will go sometime in July-August. There are too many leading ladies, so I can’t just talk about a few now. We have locked a few now and have some more to go. After we finalise, there will be a formal announcement.”

Boney Kapoor is currently producing the highly anticipated sequel to the 2005 hit comedy No Entry, with pre-production already underway.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, the original No Entry was a massive success, featuring Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, and an ensemble cast including Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, and Esha Deol.

Shah Rukh Khan wins tax battle as ITAT dismisses case over RA.One earnings

Actor Shah Rukh Khan has emerged victorious in a long-standing tax dispute, with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) ruling in his favor. The tribunal recently quashed reassessment proceedings initiated by the Income Tax authorities for the financial year 2011-12.

Background of the Shah Rukh Khan Tax Case
The case revolves around Shah Rukh Khan’s income from his 2011 film RA.One, produced under his banner, Red Chillies Entertainment. As per the agreement between Khan and the production house, 70% of the film’s shooting took place in the UK, meaning a substantial portion of his remuneration—estimated at Rs 83.42 crores—was subject to UK taxes, including withholding tax. Khan declared this income in his original tax return for the Assessment Year 2012-13, claiming a Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) to offset taxes paid abroad against his Indian tax liability.

However, the Income Tax officer rejected Khan’s FTC claim, reassessing his income at Rs 84.17 crore and alleging underpayment of tax. The reassessment, initiated beyond the four-year statutory limit under Section 147 of the Income Tax Act, sparked a legal battle that has now concluded with the ITAT’s ruling.
ITAT’s Ruling: A Triumph for Shah Rukh Khan
The ITAT bench, comprising Sandeep Singh Karhail and Girish Agrawal, ruled that the reassessment proceedings were invalid. The tribunal explained that the assessing officer failed to provide “fresh tangible material” to justify reopening the case after the statutory deadline. Furthermore, the bench noted that Khan had fully disclosed his foreign income and tax credits in his original filing, which had already been scrutinized under Section 143(3). This made the reassessment a case of “mere change of opinion,” rendering it legally unjustified.

On the other hand, SRK has not publicly commented on the ruling as of March 10, 2025. Speaking of the professional front, he was last seen in Dunki, a 2023 release directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The film also features Taapsee Pannu. The actor will be next seen in Siddharth Anand’s King.

While speaking about Aamir Khan, Javed Akhtar said, “Here are some many Characters. I fear I might forget a few. Aamir was born in 1965, I started in 1965 in Bollywood. Aamir worked in the first film written by me. I was writing the film Faryaaz in Panchgani for Nassir Hussain. He saw Aamir and immediately told Nassir that he is a star and he should start with a romantic film. Aamir’s first film was produced was written by Javed. My son’s first film was with Aamir.”

Aamir told Javed Akhtar that he was waiting by for his call post saying no to Farhan for script hearing. When Javed didn’t call, Aamir realised that Farhan must have not spoken to him and he must truly believe in Aamir.

Only Aamir could have believed in these character and stories. Aamir did a film with Ashutosh with whom he had a flop before. A new director Farhan came to you with a 3 heroes film and you did it. Who would have done Dangal in their right mind. Role of such an old man who loses to his daughter in kushti. All actors work in films of directors who have given hits. You take chances no other can,” added Javed Akhtar.

‘Aamir Khan: Cinema Ka Jadugar’, will be showcased in PVR INOX theatres nationwide, allowing fans to revisit Aamir Khan’s most iconic performances on the big screen. PVR INOX continues its commitment to delivering quality entertainment to audiences across India.

Harshvardhan Rane in talks to play the antagonist in Race 4: Report

The much-anticipated Race 4 is gradually taking shape, and the latest buzz is that actor Harshvardhan Rane is in discussions to play the antagonist in the high-octane thriller. According to sources close to Filmfare, the actor is currently in talks for the role, though no official confirmation has been made yet.

The Race franchise has always been known for its unpredictable characters, with protagonists and antagonists often sharing shades of grey. If finalized, it will be interesting to see whether Harshvardhan will join Saif’s character as an ally or go head-to-head with him in this action-packed film. Speaking about Harshvardhan Rane’s potential casting, a source revealed that followed by his recent success, the actor has been receiving many meaty offers in big-budget ventures. “Harsh’s stupendous success with the re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam has paid rich dividends. He’s been getting some plum offers, one of which is the opportunity to play the antagonist in Race 4. He’s not been finalised yet, but chances are this casting coup will come to fruition,” said the source.

Earlier reports suggested that Sidharth Malhotra might also be a part of Race 4, but no cast member aside from Saif Ali Khan has been officially confirmed. Additionally, the film’s leading ladies have yet to be decided. Another major change speculated is in the film’s directorial reins – while initial reports pointed to Kal Ho Naa Ho filmmaker Nikkhil Advani, recent updates suggest that Adipurush director Om Raut may helm the project instead.

If finalized, this would mark Harshvardhan’s first venture into a mainstream commercial thriller of this scale. With the Race franchise known for its gripping storytelling, high-speed chases, and unexpected twists, Race 4 is already shaping up to be an exciting addition to Bollywood’s action-thriller genre. Fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement regarding the cast and director.

Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Tiger Shroff receive notice from Jaipur Consumer Court over misleading pan masala ad

A consumer disputes redressal commission in Jaipur has issued notices to Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Tiger Shroff regarding an allegedly misleading advertisement for a pan masala brand. The notice was also served to Vimal Kumar Agarwal, chairman of JB Industries, the company behind Vimal Pan Masala.

The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Jaipur II, has directed all involved parties to appear for a hearing scheduled for March 19 at 10 AM. The commission, led by chairman Gyarsilal Meena and member Hemlata Agarwal, stated in its notice that failure to appear would result in an ex parte decision. The accused have been instructed to submit their responses within 30 days of receiving the notice.

The notice stems from a complaint filed by Jaipur-based advocate Yogendra Singh Badiyal. He alleges that the advertisement falsely promotes the product by claiming “daane daane mein hai kesar ka dum” (every grain contains the power of saffron), which he believes misleads the public into thinking the pan masala is beneficial. Apart from that he has also raised concerns about how the product doesn’t even contain a grain of saffron, further pointing out how this can also cause serious health ailments and something as dangerous as ‘cancer’.

According to Mr. Badiyal, this deceptive marketing is driving massive profits for the company while encouraging consumers to use a product that could lead to severe health issues, including cancer. The advocate has demanded legal action against the manufacturer and the actors endorsing the brand, calling for a ban on both the product and its advertisement. He also urged authorities to impose a hefty fine on the accused for allegedly misleading and endangering public health.

As of now, there has been no official response from the actors or JB Industries regarding the allegations.

Tanushree Dutta reacts to Mumbai court dismissing her plea against Nana Patekar in #MeToo case; says, “We have won this case”

In a legal blow to Tanushree Dutta, a Mumbai court has rejected her plea against the relief granted to veteran actor Nana Patekar in the #MeToo case she had filed. Despite the setback, Tanushree remains undeterred and has vowed to continue her fight with even greater determination.

Taking to social media, Tanushree Dutta insisted that she has some ‘good news’ to share with her fans, wherein she said, “The court has cancelled the B-summary report filed by the Mumbai Police on the Horn Ok Pleassss sexual harassment complaint against Nana Patekar and others. The police had tried to close the case in 2019 by citing a false and malicious B-summary report without even talking to any of my witnesses, meanwhile my witnesses all were getting threats by Nana’s goons and underworld liasons. Recently one of our prime witness directly deposited her testimony against Patekar in court and corroborated my whole complaint and also the fact that she was pressured into silence by unknown men threatening her over fone. The court took cognizance of this witness testimony via a filed affidavit and came to the conclusion that the B summary report by the police cannot be accepted by court. So we have won this case and now the Mumbai Police will have to file a chargesheet on the matter”.

“Me and my legal team have won the case, and any media house that is printing a false totally opposite story will have to answer the court and will by default become a party to the harassment case. The court has dismissed/ cancelled/refused to take cognizance of the B-summary report filed by police on the 2008 harassment incident on the Horn ok please movie set. Nana Patekar tried to close the case on himself by filing a B summary but court has rejected it. So the case is still open and the police will have to file a chargesheet on the case against Nana. Stop spreading fake news because this is my season of victory. Chargesheet will be filed soon on Nana Patekar and others as police have no other option now”, she wrote in yet another post among the many she shared on the platform.

Speaking about the case, on Friday, the Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court in Andheri officially disposed of two sexual harassment cases filed by Tanushree against Nana Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, director Rakesh Sarang, and producer Abdul Sami Abdul Gani Siddiqui. The complaints, registered at the Oshiwara police station in October 2018, were related to alleged incidents that took place in March 2008 and October 2010 on the sets of the film Horn Ok Pleassss. Metropolitan Magistrate NV Bansal ruled that the first case would be closed, as the police had submitted the closure reports beyond the permissible time frame.

This legal decision follows a previous ruling where another Mumbai court had dismissed the case against Nana Patekar and the three co-accused. While the verdict marks a significant legal hurdle for Tanushree Dutta, she has reiterated her commitment to seeking justice, emphasizing that this outcome has only strengthened her resolve.
