Kalki 2898 AD released earlier this year amid much fanfare as many celebrities couldn’t stop gushing about the Nag Ashwin directorial and its grandeur. Meanwhile, Arshad Warsi had expressed his thoughts on the film too wherein he appreciated a few aspects but also criticized a few. He went on address Prabhas of ‘being used as a joker’ which did not sit well not only with his fans but also with some celebrities from the South Indian film industry.

After receiving much backlash on social media for his comments, Arshad Warsi now has issued a clarification about being misconstrued for his statement. He further insisted that his remarks were only directed to the character Prabhas played and was in no way insulting his acting skills. In fact, appreciating the talent of the Telugu superstar, Arshad told PTI, “Everybody has their own point of view and people like to interpret noise. I spoke about the character, not the person. He is a brilliant actor and he has proved himself again and again, and we know about it. And, when we give a bad character to a good actor, it’s heartbreaking for the audience”.

For the unversed, Arshad Warsi had opened up about watching the film during an interaction in Unfiltered by Samdish YouTube channel. The actor had compared the film to a Mad Max-like vibe and expressed his desire to watch someone like Mil Gibson in such roles.  “Meine Kalki 2898 AD, jo mujhe achi nahin lagi (I watched Kalki but I did not like it). Amit Ji (Bachchan) was unbelievable! I cannot believe it.” While talking about Prabhas he said, “I am really sad but, why was he was like a joker? Why? I want to see a Mad Max yaar, I want to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you made it. Why do filmmakers do this, I will never understand,” he had said.

Kalki 2898 AD is expected to be a sci-fi drama inspired by Indian mythology. Apart from Prabhas, the film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone in key roles along with a host of celebrities in supporting characters. The film released in multiple languages including Hindi in June this year.

Followed by the global love and acclaim being showered upon the Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan starrer The Legend of Maula Jatt, reports suggested that the film will release in India, albeit in certain parts. However, considering the current situation due to the uproar caused by certain groups, the release too seems unlikely, It seems that the release of a Pakistani film has not gone down well with certain people, who have now taken objection to the release of the action entertainer.

As per an ANI report, the group is upset about releasing a Pakistani film in India when the country has banned Indian releases since 2019. “We will not entertain any Pakistani film or actors in India,” Amey Khopkar, President of MNS Wing was quoted saying. He also went on to assert, “This movie will not be released. If this happens, there will be a strong agitation.” He reasoned this insistence stating that it is a way of showcasing respect to the sacrifice made by soldiers. “Our soldiers are dying… Why do we need Pakistani actors here? Don’t we have enough talent? This should be taken as a threat.. How can one even think of watching movies with Pakistani actors?” he questioned.

For the unversed, ever since the Uri attacks in 2016, Pakistani actors and artists were banned from being a part of Indian projects. However, Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan have already made their Bollywood debut with Khoobsurat (2014) and Raees (2017) respectively.

Coming to their film The Legend of Maula Jatt, the film is expected to be a reboot of the 1979 Pakistani film Maula Jatt and revolves around the age-old rivalry between a local folk hero named Maula Jatt and his arch nemesis and the leader of a brutal clan, Noori Natt played by Hamza Ali Abbas. The film hit the cinemas in Pakistan on October 13, 2022.

One of the most beloved franchises of Bollywood, YRF’s Dhoom is all set to return! Multiple times in the past, there have been buzz about the revival of the franchise with its last release hitting cinemas over a decade ago. While fans have been excited to see how this franchise unfolds, there is some good news and bad news for them! Reports suggest that while Dhoom 4 is indeed in works with Ranbir Kapoor being roped in as the lead, the bad news is that it will not feature the franchise regulars Abhishek Bachchan as Inspector Jay and Uday Chopra as his sidekick Ali.

In a recent report published by Pinkvilla, it is being said that Dhoom 4 is in the scripting stage. A source confirmed the details and shared, “Dhoom is a franchise dear to Aditya Chopra, and he has decided to reboot the franchise keeping in line with the current times. Like all previous parts, the script of Dhoom 4 (Dhoom Reloaded) is been developed by Aditya Chopra with Vijay Krishna Acharya. The idea and vision is to create a cinematic experience like never before with the fourth Dhoom film.” “The discussions with Ranbir have been going on for the longest time. He had always shown interest to be a part of Dhoom 4 on hearing the basic idea, and is now finally confirmed to lead the franchise. Adi Chopra feels that RK is the ideal choice to carry forward the Dhoom legacy,” the source added.

Furthermore, it has been asserted that this will be more like a reboot version with a fresh storyline as well as casting since the investigative duo of Inspector Jay and amateur sleuth and biker Ali will be played a new set of stars. “Two big heroes from the younger generation will come on board to play the duo of cop buddies in Dhoom 4. Now that the core story-board is locked, the team will proceed to the casting stage. Dhoom 4 will not just be the biggest Dhoom film, but also a tentpole feature film of global standard from Indian Cinema,” the source said.

It is being said that Dhoom 4 is the 25th film of Ranbir Kapoor’s career and that the actor decided to come on board on the day of his birthday, that is on September 28. It has also been learnt that the actor will be following up the sleek action drama with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal Park, a continuation of the 2023 blockbuster Animal. Besides these, Ranbir has the Ramayana trilogy by Nitesh Tiwari and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War with wife Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in the pipeline.

The much-awaited Hollywood film Joker: Folie a Deux is all set to release in cinemas in India on October 2. This means that moviegoers in the country will be among the first in the world to watch the musical psychological thriller. However, if you plan to watch Joker: Folie a Deux in India on the giant IMAX screen, you’ll have to wait until October 4.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Joker: Folie a Deux releases in the 2D, 4DX and Screen X on Wednesday, October 2. The studio, Warner Bros, pushed the release from October 4 to 2 to take advantage of the National Holiday on account of Gandhi Jayanti.”

But the latest Jr NTR-Janhvi Kapoor-Saif Ali Khan starrer will prevent Joker: Folie a Deux from having an early IMAX release. The source revealed, “Devara – Part 1, which was released on September 27, has also got a release in the IMAX version. As per the arrangement, it’ll have a full one-week run in all the IMAX screens of the country. Joker: Folie a Deux is having a mid-week release on Wednesday, October 2. The week for Devara ends on October 3 and hence, the Hollywood film can be made available to IMAX only from October 4.”

Besides India, Joker: Folie a Deux also releases on October 2 in Belgium, Colombia, Denmark, France, Italy, Philippines, Sweden and Taiwan. South Korea will have the earliest release of the film, on October 1. In the USA, UK and most markets, Joker: Folie a Deux will arrive on the big screen on October 4.

In India, the booking for Joker: Folie a Deux was thrown open way back on September 2. The advance has been slow but is expected to now pick up as the release date gets closer. The earlier part, Joker (2019), was also released on October 2 and despite stiff competition from War and Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, it opened at Rs. 5.15 crores. Trade and industry expect Joker: Folie a Deux to have a better opening than its predecessor.

Joker: Folie a Deux, like the first part, stars Joaquin Phoenix and this time, he is also joined by Lady Gaga.

The longest-running sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has yet again come under the scanner with another actor accusing the makers of harassing her. After many actors have quit the show, yet another actress Palak Sindhwani, who plays Sonu Bhide in the Sony SAB show, asserted that she has resigned from the ongoing show, and has counter-alleged that the makers have sent out the recent legal notices to her as a retaliation. Addressing the reports of how she was accused of breaching the contract, the actress insisted that it was a plan of action set in motion only after she put in her resignation.

In an exclusive conversation with Bombay Times, Palak Sindhwani made shocking revelations on how the reports about the legal notices on breach of contract started surfacing after her resignation. “I had informed the production house on August 8 about my decision to quit the show. They decided to take some time and then told me that I will be given an official email (ID) to which I could mail the resignation letter but that never happened. They delayed approving my resignation and after a few weeks to my surprise, I saw articles in media about how I had breached the contract. I signed their contract 5 years ago and they denied giving me a copy of it. I received a copy on September 19, 2024,” shared the actress.

The actress maintained that the makers of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah were aware of her endorsements and social media campaigns but only decided to take action against it when she decided to quit the show. “They had agreed to let me continue brand endorsements and post the pandemic, I also started brand endorsements on social media. They didn’t say anything then but after I announced my decision to quit they have started this plan of action,” she added.

“I have also taken legal advice and will follow what’s right for my career. I wanted to quit the show for health reasons and professional growth. I have had several meetings but there is no solution yet. This is exploitation and I never expected this after working with them for five years. Just because I want to quit Taarak Mehta, they are making my exit difficult,” said Sindhwani.
