The first film titled Dhamaal arrived way back in 2007 and it starred Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaaferi, Ashish Chaudhary and Vijay Raaz.

Reports state that Dhamaal 4, the fourth film, will repeat the same cast.

While the makers are yet to officially announce the actors for the film, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that the movie is all set to go on floors next month in March.

An industry source told us, “Dhamaal 4 will be going on floors in March. It will be shot in Mumbai and the adjoining areas. Some extensive pre-production work for the movie has been going on for some time. The film was earlier supposed to roll at the end of 2024 but that couldn’t happen.”

EXCLUSIVE: Along with Andaz Apna Apna, Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ghatak to also re-release; Sunny Deol-starrer expected in cinemas on February 28

The trend of re-release is going strong this year as well. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani got a good turnout while Sanam Teri Kasam has emerged as a historic re-release success. A few days back, the makers of Andaz Apna Apna, starring Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor, announced their plans to re-release the comic caper in cinemas in April. It was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and Bollywood Hungama has learned that his other memorable film, Ghatak, is now being readied for a re-release.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Ghatak was a huge success at the box office when it was released in 1996 and continues to remain popular due to its action scenes, emotional moments, songs and of course Sunny Deol’s towering presence. Sunny’s track record has gotten a boost with the monstrous blockbuster, Gadar 2 (2023) and there’s a demand to see him more. As a result, the decision was taken to bring the film back to cinemas.”

The source continued, “The tentative release date as of now is February 28 but it might change. A final decision will be taken in a few days.” The source also said, “Sunny Deol is excited about Ghatak’s re-release and will also promote it.”

Along with Sunny Deol, Ghatak also starred Meenakshi Seshadri, Amrish Puri and Danny Denzongpa. It is the story of a man who comes to Mumbai from Banaras for his father’s treatment. He stays with his uncle in a colony where he meets a woman, with whom he falls in love. This colony is also terrorized by a tyrannical gangster. How the protagonist fights the villain forms the crux of the tale. Ghatak is also remembered for its song ‘Koi Jaye To Le Aaye’, featuring Mamta Kulkarni.

Meanwhile, after Ghatak’s re-release, Sunny Deol will gear up for the promotions and release of his much-awaited upcoming film, Jaat. It will be released in cinemas on April 10.

Kangana Ranaut rejects investment in stocks and rentals; says, “Bewakoof banke rehna pasand hai mujhe”

Kangana Ranaut shared that the ‘fundas’ of her life are ‘stupid’ and that she prefers to keep them that way. In a conversation with Brut India, she spoke about her new restaurant, The Mountain Story, in Manali, calling it a way to stay “engaged” with people.

Kangana stated, “It (Her restaurant) is also a gift for me, another source of engagement. I’m a writer, I also like to indulge in filmmaking, I’m also an actress. This is also my expression, this is also a way of expression. What else is there in life if we don’t engage with each other?”

She added, “Main unme se nahi hoon ki stocks kharid liye, ya koi rental income. Mujhe pasand nahi hai (I’m not one of those who buy stocks or have rental income. I don’t like that). Mujhe lagta hai ki, I want to engage with more and more people. Meri life k fundas kuch zaada hi bewakoof type hai, toh main waese hi hoon. Bewakoof banke rehna pasand hai mujhe.”

In a 2013 interview, Kangana had expressed her desire to open a café in the future. During a round table discussion that also featured Deepika Padukone, she was asked where she saw herself in 10 years, to which she replied that she would like to open a restaurant.

In the old video, Kangana said, “I’ve eaten all over the world and have collected amazing recipes. I’d love to have a beautiful little cafeteria somewhere. I’m very good with food.” In response, Deepika Padukone had said, “I’ll be your first client.”

Recently, Kangana re-shared the video on her Instagram, tagging Deepika and wrote, “If walking the talk had a face, ha ha, it would be me… also @deepikapadukone, you should be my first client.”

Kangana was last seen in Emergency, where she portrayed former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film, which released in theatres on January 17, explored the 21-month Emergency period from 1975 to 1977 and its aftermath. It also featured Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik.

The Diplomat Trailer: John Abraham is a man of words, not weapons; showcases the tough job of a diplomat

The trailer for John Abraham starrer The Diplomat was unveiled on February 14 and it promises to feature a powerful ensemble cast that includes the likes of Sadia Khateeb, Sharib Hashmi, Revathy, and Kumud Mishra, along with the Bollywood star. Released on the birth anniversary of the late Shri Sushma Swaraj on Friday, the trailer pays homage to her pivotal efforts in 2017, supporting Indian diplomat J.P. Singh in bringing India’s daughter back home.

Setting the stage for an intense political thriller, the film highlights how tact and negotiation—rather than war—are the protagonist’s ultimate weapons. John Abraham steps into the role of real-life Indian diplomat J.P. Singh, who embarks on a high-stakes mission to rescue the ‘Daughter of India’ from captivity. It marks a major shift for the actor, who is portraying a character rooted in strategy, intellect, and negotiation – showcasing a strong-headed and dynamic avatar unlike any seen before.

Speaking about the film, John Abraham shared, “Diplomacy is a battlefield where words carry more weight than weapons. Playing J.P. Singh allowed me to explore a world where power is defined by intellect, resilience, and quiet heroism. Uzma’s story is a testament to India’s strength and courage, and I’m proud to bring this inspiring journey to life on screen.”

Producer Bhushan Kumar said, “At T-Series, we believe in supporting stories that truly matter—ones that inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impact. The Diplomat is a perfect example of content-driven cinema, and it’s a story we felt needed to be told. I’m proud of the team for bringing this heartfelt narrative to life with such honesty and dedication.”

Director Shivam Nair added, “The Diplomat is a tribute to the unsung heroes who wield strategy and patience to protect their nation. Through J.P. Singh’s story, we’ve captured the art of diplomacy—where tact triumphs over aggression—and John’s performance perfectly embodies this spirit of resilience and strength.”

Producers at Wakaoo Films stated, “As producers, we believe in backing narratives that have the power to move and inspire. The Diplomat is one such film that captures the strength of human resilience, and we’re proud to see it come to life on screen.”

Releasing on March 7, 2025, The Diplomat is Produced by Bhushan Kumar & Krishan Kumar (T-Series), John Abraham (JA Entertainment), Vipul D. Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl (Wakaoo Films), and Sameer Dixit, Jatish Varma, Rakesh Dang (Fortune Pictures/Seeta Films).

Richa Chadha unveils a new love story on Valentine’s Day; announces ‘Akhri Somvaar’

When the world was on pause during the second lockdown, actor Richa Chadha, not satisfied merely with becoming a producer, penned the script of a heartfelt dramedy in which she is set to star herself. The film is tentatively titled Akhri Somvaar. It is about a successful reality TV producer who becomes desperate to get married after someone at work calls her a ‘childless cat lady’.

Speaking about Aakhri Somwar, Richa Chadha shared, “From my experiences of growing up in a middle-classs Punjabi household, from my childhood, watching older cousins be set-up for arranged marriages, emerged this deeply personal story that I think a lot of families will resonate with. When we graduate from college, we are full of dreams and ambitions. Somehow those dreams get dulled when we enter the job market and before you know it, your are in your mid-30s hoping to have both a career and a husband/family but society thinks it’s too late and you become jaded because the dreams are now not achievable. It is a slice-of-life story, about coming undone and coming together. I think there is currently a dearth of family entertainment. And I think as an actor, my comic timing has been greatly under-utilized. Speaking as a producer, it is a monetizable asset”.

Aakhri Somwar promises to be a refreshing take on love, societal expectations, and the lengths one goes to for a dream wedding. Richa, however, remains tight-lipped about the director who has be chosen to helm this project.
