The trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Alia Bhatt will be coming together for the first time on the big screen in the highly anticipated Love and War, which will also mark the reunion of Ranbir with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after over a decade. While any update about the film garners momentum as fans are excited to know more about this heavy budgeted entertainer, recently news suggests that the Sanju duo – Ranbir and Vicky will kick off the shooting before Alia, who will be joining them only after a couple of months.

It is being said that the makers will kick off the first schedule of the film in October and if the report is to be believed audiences will get to witness the fun camaraderie of Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in the film. According to a source quoted in a Pinkvilla report, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali begins his journey on Love And War by shooting for some sole sequences featuring Ranbir Kapoor and then moves on the friendship portions of RK and Vicky. He has planned and designed the schedule keeping the dates of his star-cast in mind.”

Alia Bhatt is expected to join the boys for the December schedule. From what we hear, the actress is busy shooting for the much-talked about Alpha with Yash Raj Films and it is being said that the team be completing a long schedule of the actioner this time. The source added, “Alia has allotted bulk dates to YRF for the female spy universe film, Alpha. She will start Love And War after calling it a wrap on Alpha by end of November/early December. Alia and Vicky have allotted over 200 days to Sanjay Leela Bhansali and won’t be shooting for any film till the director wraps up his epic love story. The idea is to call it a wrap on Love And War by the third quarter of 2025,” the source shared.

Speaking of Love and War, the film is expected to be an epic saga with a romantic backdrop that reunites Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ranbir Kapoor after their alleged fallout post the latter’s debut in 2007. The film was announced on social media by the filmmaker himself, who also revealed that they are looking for releasing the film in Christmas 2025.

Two days back, there were reports that the family members of legendary football coach Syed Abdul Rahim were unhappy with the makers of Maidaan. The Ajay Devgn-starrer was based on the life of Rahim and some of his descendants claimed that the royalty, promised to them by the makers, was not given to them. The report stated that a police action might be initiated against Maidaan’s makers.

In response, the makers of Maidaan – Boney Kapoor’s Bayview Projects LLP – have released a statement denouncing the claims. The public statement is as follows:

“Recently, there have been several media reports alleging that the police have been directed to look into a claim purportedly from the family members of the late Mr Syed Abdul Raheem, that the producers of Maidaan owe the family members of Mr Raheem, certain monies (over) Mr. Raheem’s depiction in the film. We hereby clarify that we are not in receipt of any notice from police/state authority as alleged or at all. It is also important to place on record certain correct facts in the context of such false reporting.

The legal heirs of the late Mr. S.A. Raheem, who was a football coach of the Indian football team during 1952-1962, had filed an Original Suit No. 1271 of 2019 along with an Interim Application No. 602 of 2019, before the Hon’ble Civil Judge, Hyderabad in June 2019 seeking a judgement and decree for perpetual injunction on release, exploitation and production of the film Maidaan. It was alleged that no permission had been taken from them for the making of the film Maidaan. Bayview Projects LLP opposed the grant of injunction inter alia on the grounds that the information about late Mr Raheem, as the coach of the Indian football team, is available in the public domain and no permission was required under law to make a film on late Mr Raheem/Indian football. It was further argued that it is a well-settled law that the personality rights enjoyed by a person during his lifetime come to an end after his lifetime. The Hon’ble Court, after hearing the parties in detail, had by its order dated 30th of September 2019, refused to grant any injunction/restraining relief on the production, release and/or exploitation of the film Maidaan and the concerned Interim Application filed by the legal heirs was dismissed.

Though the producers were not obliged under law to obtain any permission/consent from the heirs of Mr Raheem, in good faith, resolved the matter amicably with the heirs on terms and conditions recorded in the consent terms dated January 29, 2020, filed in the Hon’ble City Civil Court, Hyderabad. Bayview Projects LLP is in due compliance with the consent terms and in fact, all the legal heirs have confirmed Bayview’s compliance with the consent terms and have rendered full support and appreciation towards the film. Additionally, the producers have also obtained life rights to Sqn. Ldr. Syed Shahid Hakim (son of Syed Abdul Rahim; now deceased) has paid consideration for the same during his lifetime, as per Mr. Hakim’s instructions to his wife Sadia Syeda and to his family members namely Mohammed Abdul Samad and Mohammed Shariq Daniyal Akhtar.

In this background, it is shocking to read reports regarding non-payment of royalties to the heirs of the late Mr Hakeem, much less when there’s no obligation to pay the same; this allegation is completely false. As stated earlier, Bayview Projects LLP is not in receipt of any notice from the police or any state authority as stated in the reports. If any claim/notice is received from the police or a state authority, Bayview will take such action as will be required under law to protect its rights as it will be legally advised. In the meantime, it is appealed to the press and public that due caution and responsibility be exercised in reporting such misinformation. The reported articles have caused and continue to cause grave injury and prejudice to the reputation of Bayview, the film and all stakeholders associated with the film and if such reporting shall continue the producers would be compelled to initiate appropriate action including defamation proceedings against the offenders.

Ameet Naik, advocate for Bayview Projects LLP and partner at Anand and Naik stated, “Bayview is in compliance with the consent terms dated January 29, 2020, filed before the Hon’ble Civil Court, Hyderabad and Secunderabad. There are no outstanding dues to any of the legal heirs of the late Mr. Raheem/Mr. Hakeem and no notice has been received by the police/state authority. If any claim or notice is received, the production house shall take all steps to deal with the same in accordance with law to protect and safeguard its rights and reputation”.

Bollywood Hungama has further learned that Dr Faisal Zardi, grandson of Syed Abdul Rahim and Sadia Hakim, wife of Rahim’s son have also condemned the report and the possibility of police action. They have further praised the makers for putting Rahim’s life on celluloid.

John Abraham has shared his strong stance on the alarming issue of violence against women in India. Reacting to the gruesome case of a Kolkata doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered earlier this month, Abraham emphasized the need for greater accountability from men and a cultural shift in how women are treated.

Speaking on Radio City, Abraham expressed his frustration and anger towards the perpetrators of such heinous crimes. “I’ll tell the boys to behave, otherwise I’ll tear them apart,” he said, adding, “Honestly, I just expect better upbringing, on a serious note.”

The actor stressed that women should not be blamed for their own safety. “And I wouldn’t tell girls anything, because unki kya galti hai (what fault is it of theirs)? I think parents have to tell boys to behave. More power to the girls,” he added.

Abraham’s comments echoed similar sentiments he expressed in a previous podcast on The Ranveer Show. “As a patriot, I feel it’s necessary to point out the flaws with India,” he said. “Women, children and animals are not safe in India. It is sad. Indian men need to understand how to treat their women. They need to be protectors.”

The incident, which occurred at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, has sparked outrage and calls for justice. The initial mishandling of the case by local authorities has further fueled public anger. Subsequently, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the investigation, acknowledging the challenges posed by the altered crime scene.

On the work front, John Abraham’s film, Vedaa, which explores themes of violence against women, is a timely and relevant contribution to the ongoing conversation. The film released in cinemas on Independence Day 2024. He will next star in Tehran.

In the glamorous and often unpredictable world of Bollywood, stars backing out of films is not unheard of, but when a leading actress like Karisma Kapoor begins to withdraw from multiple projects in quick succession, it raises eyebrows. In 1999, Karisma Kapoor, one of Bollywood’s most sought-after actresses, shocked the industry by stepping away from several high-profile films, leaving fans and filmmakers alike speculating about her sudden change of heart.

The first major project from which Karisma made her exit was Sajid Nadiadwala’s Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, a film that had already generated significant buzz. Her decision to walk out of this movie came as a surprise, especially since she had been a consistent performer at the box office, delivering hits that cemented her status as one of Bollywood’s top actresses. Just as the industry was recovering from the shock of her departure from Nadiadwala’s film, news broke that Karisma had also backed out of Deepak Shivdasani’s Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke. The role, which was initially meant for Karisma, was quickly recast, with Preity Zinta stepping in to fill the void.

The question on everyone’s mind was clear: What was happening with Karisma Kapoor? Her decision to return the signing amounts for these films—and reportedly a few others—added fuel to the fire of speculation. In an industry where signing amounts are often a firm commitment, Karisma’s actions suggested that something significant was influencing her choices.

At the time, there were many theories circulating in the industry and media. Some speculated that Karisma was being selective about her roles, perhaps wanting to distance herself from projects she felt were not aligned with her evolving career aspirations. Others wondered if personal reasons were behind her decisions, given that her family had always been a significant part of her life and career decisions.

Karisma’s move was particularly intriguing given her consistent track record of balancing commercial success with critically acclaimed performances. Her ability to juggle mainstream roles with more nuanced characters had earned her both mass appeal and critical respect. Therefore, her sudden withdrawal from multiple projects left many questioning whether this was a temporary phase or the beginning of a more significant shift in her career.

As the year unfolded, industry insiders and fans alike were left to wonder what Karisma’s next move would be. Was she planning to take a break, or was there a more strategic plan behind her decisions? While Karisma remained tight-lipped about her reasons, her actions were a clear signal that she was in control of her career trajectory, making choices that would likely shape the next phase of her journey in Bollywood.

As the industry watched closely, one thing was certain: whatever was cooking in Karisma Kapoor’s world, it was bound to have a lasting impact on Bollywood’s landscape. Her unexpected exits from these films added an air of mystery around her, leaving everyone eager to see what the future held for this talented and unpredictable star.

Followed by Arshad Warsi sharing his review on the recently released film Kalki 2898 AD which garnered tremendous response at the box office, it has sparked yet another Bollywood vs South, to be more specific Bollywood vs Tollywood debate, which has also angered a few netizens. Director of this dystopian action-drama Nag Ashwin is the latest one to react on this controversy but the peace-loving filmmaker has taken the criticism in his stride and has even gone to request some social media users to stop spreading hatred.

Nag Ashwin took to the social media platform X, aka Twitter, to react to the statements made by Arshad Warsi along with asserting that the character will be developed well for the sequel. He responded to the comments, saying, “Let’s not go backwards..no more north-south or bolly vs tolly..eyes on the bigger picture.. United Indian Film Industry..Arshad saab should have chosen his words better..but it’s ok..sending buji toys 4 his kids..il work hard so tweets fdfs that prabhas was the best ever in k2”.

— Nag Ashwin (@nagashwin7) August 24, 2024

Furthermore answering to a fan who expressed hatred towards Arshad and his words, Ashwin requested him to stop doing so and added, “Too much hate in the world already bro…we can try not to add to it..I know prabhas garu will also feel the same…<3”.

Too much hate in the world already bro…we can try not to add to it..I know prabhas garu will also feel the same…❤️

For the unversed, Arshad Warsi expressed his dislike towards the film Kalki 2898 AD after watching it during a podcast. The actor, while hailing Amitabh Bachchan’s performance, criticized the role of Prabhas wherein he said, “Prabhas, I am really sad, but he was like a joker. I wanted to see a Mad Max; I wanted to see Mel Gibson over there,” he had said. This did not go down well with many, especially Prabhas’ darlings, who shared several hate tweets against Warsi on the platform with many demanding an apology from him.

Speaking of Kalki 2898 AD, the film is a sci-fi futuristic action drama inspired by Indian mythology but set in the post-apocalyptic era and is based on prophecy of the birth of Lord Kalki who is expected to be the messiah for the oppressed and destroyer of the unjust autocrats. Starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan in key roles, the film is expected to be developed into a franchise with a second installment already on the cards.

Junaid Khan has been making waves in the industry with his impressive ability to juggle both film and theater projects. With a rich background in theater spanning over seven years, Khan has seamlessly transitioned to the silver screen. Khan’s debut film, Maharaj, released earlier this year, has garnered global recognition, securing a spot on the global non-English top ten list in 22 countries.

Despite his newfound success in films, Khan remains deeply committed to his theatrical roots. As a source revealed, “Junaid Khan is going to be seen in a play at NCPA on the 1st of September, after his film for the first time. He perfectly balances film shoots & rehearsals, and that is truly commendable!”

Even amidst the demanding schedules of film shoots, he continues to make time for theater rehearsals, ensuring that he maintains his connection to the stage. As per Mid-day, a source said, “Junaid has been doing eight-hour shifts, and then heading for the rehearsals. The film is in its last leg and taking days off work wasn’t possible. So, he decided to straddle the two projects. He is deeply invested in theatre and understands that the medium requires a different kind of discipline compared to films. The actor wants to pursue the stage as well, as he believes it further hones his acting skills.”

Looking ahead, Khan is set to feature in two upcoming untitled romantic films, one with Sai Pallavi and the other with Khushi Kapoor.

The Race franchise is set to make a return with Race 4, and the anticipation is palpable. Producer Ramesh Taurani has confirmed that the film will be a reboot, bringing back the original star, Saif Ali Khan, to the heart of the action. Now, a significant development has emerged: Sidharth Malhotra is in advanced talks to join the cast alongside Saif Ali Khan.

According to a report in Pinkvilla, Sidharth Malhotra has expressed keen interest in the franchise and has been engaged in discussions with Taurani for some time. A source close to the project shared, “While Ramesh Taurani’s in-house writers are working on the basic plot, he’s also collaborating with seasoned writers and directors to develop a compelling screenplay. And as the writing process progresses, he’s initiated conversations with Sidharth Malhotra to take on the lead role opposite Saif Ali Khan.”

The production is gearing up to begin filming in the first half of 2025. The team is currently focused on finalizing the script, laying the groundwork for a thrilling new chapter in the Race saga.

The Race franchise has always been defined by its dynamic and often antagonistic relationships between male protagonists. From Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna in Race to Saif and John Abraham in Race 2 and Salman Khan and Bobby Deol in Race 3, the series has consistently delivered high-stakes confrontations.

Race 4 is set to continue this tradition, with a face-off between Saif and Sidharth. As the source revealed, “Staying true to the essence of the franchise, Race 4 will feature a clash between two strong-headed men. It’s a pure two-hero film, with both characters having shades of gray.”

Beyond the central conflict, Race 4 promises a strong ensemble cast and a blend of thrills and glamour. The source added, “The film is being planned on a grand scale, and Ramesh Taurani and his team have immense faith in the franchise.”

Both Saif and Sidharth are expected to sign on to the project once the final script is ready, which is anticipated to happen around November 2024. While the actors have shown positive interest, their official commitment will depend on their satisfaction with the narrative.

Anita Hassanandani Reddy is preparing to make a stunning return to the small screen with her forthcoming drama Suman Indori. It’s Anita’s first full-time lead role since her maternity break, though she appeared in Hum Rahein Ya Na Rahein last year. She views Suman Indori as the perfect comeback.

It’s difficult for a mother to leave her kid at home while she goes to work, and Anita is no different. It has been difficult for the actress to prepare for leaving her four-year-old at home. While discussing the problem, she told Hindustan Times, “Leaving Aarav has been incredibly challenging for me as a mother, but I’m coping with it. I love my work and have been missing shooting, so there’s a bit of mom guilt mixed in with the excitement.”

She added that she believes it is crucial for parents to consider their children’s passions and that her husband, businessman Rohit, has been a great help. She said, “Rohit also takes time off to be with Aaru when I’m working, so we’re working together to ensure he’s not missing out on anything. We’re striving to find a balance that allows us both to pursue our passions while giving him the attention he needs.”

While discussing how much Aarav helps her, she stated, “He is young, almost four years old, but understands that his mom has to go to work and will come back.”

Although she has been very mindful of balancing her career and personal life, there have been times when she has felt discouraged about leaving Aarav at home. Speaking about it, the actress stated, “There have been days where he has video-called me and cried, missing me. I’m also disheartened and start missing him. Then, I surprise him with something or the other, and we are back to normal.”

Anita Hassanandani and Rohit Reddy welcomed a baby boy on February 9, 2021.
