Alia Bhatt's Character Details In Yash Raj Films' Alpha Revealed

Mumbai, May 26 - Alpha is one of the most-awaited Bollywood films, as it marks the first female-led instalment in Yash Raj Films' ambitious Spy Universe. Starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the lead, the action thriller has been generating anticipation ever since its announcement. Now, fresh reports about Alia's character and the film being different from other spy movies have further increased the excitement surrounding the film. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Alia Bhatt will reportedly play a deadly assassin in Alpha, and not a conventional spy like the earlier protagonists in the YRF Spy Universe. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report states that her character has an edgy backstory and is someone who was "raised and built to kill" from a young age. YRF is said to be exploring a much darker, more emotionally layered origin story for the film, giving the franchise a fresh direction after the success of movies like Pathaan, War, and Tiger. The makers are reportedly betting big on the film's unique characterisation and intense action setup. Alia's role is expected to feature brutal combat sequences, hand-to-hand action, and a gritty screen presence unlike anything she has attempted before. The reports have already led to comparisons with Marvel's Black Widow among fans on social media, with many excited to see Alia in a fierce action avatar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sharvari is also said to have a powerful role alongside her, making the film a full-fledged female-driven action spectacle. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha also stars Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles. The film is currently slated for a theatrical release on July 10, 2026, and is expected to be one of the biggest event films from Yash Raj Films of the year.

FWICE Bans Ranveer Singh Following His Exit From Farhan Akhtar's Don 3

Mumbai, May 25 - The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh following his abrupt exit from the upcoming film Don 3. The decision came after filmmaker Farhan Akhtar and producer Ritesh Sidhwani approached FWICE over alleged financial and production losses caused by the actor's withdrawal from the project. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to reports, FWICE held multiple meetings and sent notices to Ranveer Singh asking him to present his side. FWICE officials later claimed that the actor responded by stating that the matter did not fall under the federation's jurisdiction. Following this, the body announced a "Non-Cooperation Directive," effectively asking industry workers and associations not to collaborate with him until the issue is resolved. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The controversy began after Ranveer exited Don 3 just weeks before shooting was scheduled to begin. Reports suggest that Excel Entertainment had already spent heavily on pre-production and promotional activities. Some reports claim the producers are seeking damages of around 40–45 crore. FWICE advisor Ashoke Pandit reportedly stated that sudden exits by actors impact not only producers but also thousands of film workers associated with productions. Meanwhile, neither Ranveer Singh nor his team has publicly issued a detailed statement on the ban so far. Meanwhile, the Dhurandhar star is scheduled to begin his next film, Pralay, around August this year. Directed by Jai Mehta and produced by Ranveer Singh's Maa Kasam Films with Hansal Mehta, the film is a Zombie thriller, which is a one-of-its-kind film for Ranveer. It needs to be seen how things fare following the actor's ban by film body.

The Chaos of Three: 5 Twisted Bollywood Rom-Coms To Watch Before Cocktail 2

Maddock Films' upcoming romantic comedy Cocktail 2 is one of the most-anticipated films.

He is too scared to admit it, so he makes his shy friend, Pritam, pretend to be the author. Bitti falls for the fake author, Chirag gets jealous of his own creation, and Pritam gets caught in the middle. It is a funny game of musical chairs where everyone is lying. 2.

Akshay Kumar To Headline Sci-Fi Alien Thriller Samuk For Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah

Mumbai, May 24 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is gearing up for a major genre shift as he reportedly joins hands with producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah for an ambitious sci-fi alien thriller titled Samuk. The film is expected to mark Akshay's first full-fledged attempt at the alien-horror genre, a space that remains largely unexplored in mainstream Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Kanishk Varma, the project is already generating significant buzz for its scale and international collaborations. According to the report by Hindustan Times, Samuk is being mounted as a high-concept thriller with a strong emphasis on practical effects and immersive action, with shooting scheduled to begin in August 2026. The makers have reportedly roped in Hollywood stunt coordinator Luke Tumber, who has previously worked on global blockbusters like Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Venom, and No Time To Die. The inclusion of international technicians suggests that the team is aiming to deliver a visually grand cinematic experience with global production standards. The film is also said to feature creature effects designed by acclaimed Hollywood artist Alec Gillis, known for his work on iconic franchises such as Alien and Predator. Instead of relying entirely on CGI-heavy visuals, the makers are reportedly focusing on practical alien effects to create a more realistic, terrifying atmosphere. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This approach is expected to give Samuk a unique visual identity compared to conventional Indian sci-fi films. For Akshay Kumar, the film marks another attempt to explore fresh territory after experimenting with genres ranging from social dramas to historical epics and action entertainers over the years. Samuk will also reunite the actor with Vipul Amrutlal Shah after more than a decade. The duo previously collaborated on successful films like Namastey London, Waqt: The Race Against Time, and Action Replayy. While the makers are yet to announce the film officially, the project has already emerged as one of the most anticipated upcoming ventures in Akshay Kumar's lineup. Meanwhile, Akshay will next be seen in Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome), which is scheduled to release on June 26, 2026.

The makers are said to be contemplating preponing the film's release to maximise its box office potential during the festive season. According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the Nitesh Tiwari-directed magnum opus is now eyeing an October 30, 2026, theatrical release, which is a week before the Diwali festivities.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Initially planned for a Diwali 2026 release, the makers reportedly believe that arriving a week earlier could give the film a longer uninterrupted run during the festive season, given that no other major release will be released during this time.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Yash as Ravana. The film also features Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Laxman, along with others. Mounted on a gigantic scale by Prime Focus Studios and Monster Mind Creations, the project is being positioned as one of the most ambitious Indian films ever made.

Given the scale, visual ambition, and star cast, trade experts expect the film to emerge as one of the biggest box office events in Indian cinema history. The buzz around the film has been consistently growing ever since the first official glimpses and casting confirmations surfaced online. While the October 30 release date is yet to be officially announced by the makers, the latest developments indicate that the team is actively exploring the possibility of arriving earlier than originally planned to fully capitalise on the festive window.

Raja Shivaji Box Office: Riteish Deshmukh's Historical Epic Downs Sairat To Become Highest-Grossing Marathi Film

Mumbai, May 22 - The decade-long record of director Nagraj Manjule's social romantic tragedy Sairat has finally been broken as Riteish Deshmukh's historical epic Raja Shivaji has become the highest-grossing Marathi film of all time, taking just 22 days to achieve the historic feat. Produced by Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company, Raja Shivaji minted around 109.35 crores worldwide in three weeks (21 days), and it has surpassed the total gross of Sairat (110 crores) at the time of writing this piece to become the number 1 Marathi grosser ever. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Raja Shivaji, however, received support from its Hindi dubbed version, unlike Sairat, which was purely a Marathi-language release. Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, the blockbuster has grossed approximately 29 crores from the Hindi version and over 76 crores gross from the original Marathi version in 21 days, while the overseas contribution stands at an estimated 4.20 crores so far. Released on May 1 on the occasion of Maharashtra Day, Raja Shivaji opened to record-breaking numbers with approximately 13.85 crores worldwide on its first day. The film remained exceptionally strong throughout the opening weekend, collecting around 41.65 crores worldwide in its first three days, setting a new benchmark for Marathi cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The historical action drama, based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, showed a solid hold during the weekdays of its initial week. However, mixed word of mouth impacted the film's long-term theatrical run, with collections beginning to slow down after the second weekend. The 150 crores worldwide milestone, which looked possible after the huge opening weekend, now appears out of reach. Despite the slowdown, Raja Shivaji is still expected to finish its theatrical run close to the 125 crores mark, which would be a solid result for a regional-language title. The film has performed excellently in Maharashtra, where the subject and emotional connect with audiences helped it emerge as one of the biggest Marathi blockbusters ever produced.
