Salman Khan In Talks To Play Karna In Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Next

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, June 24 - In a major development, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has reportedly approached superstar Salman Khan to headline his long-awaited epic Karna. Excel Entertainment is backing the ambitious two-part film, once again making it one of the industry's most talked-about projects. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to industry buzz, Salman Khan has responded positively to the narration, with discussions between the actor and the makers now progressing toward an advanced stage. While no formal agreement has been signed yet, reports suggest that the collaboration is being seriously explored behind the scenes. However, the project is still in the negotiation phase, with no official commitment having been made so far. As is often the case with large-scale productions of this magnitude, the film could still change before reaching the floors. If the deal materialises, Karna is expected to begin production in mid-2027. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film is envisioned as a grand cinematic retelling of the legendary Mahabharata warrior Karna, a character known for his courage, loyalty, and tragic destiny. The project has been in development for several years and was previously linked with other leading actors, including Tamil star Suriya, before facing delays. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has long expressed his ambition to bring Karna's story to the big screen on an epic scale, with reports suggesting that the screenplay and music work are already in progress. For Salman Khan, the film could mark a significant shift into the epic space, offering audiences a chance to see the superstar in one of Indian mythology’s most layered and emotionally powerful roles.

Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle Paid Previews Confirmed; Advance Booking Open Now

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, June 23 - The makers of Welcome To The Jungle have officially opened advance bookings for the much-awaited comedy entertainer starring Akshay Kumar. Adding to the excitement, the film will also have special paid preview shows beginning on June 25 at 7:30 PM, one day ahead of its theatrical release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A brand-new promotional poster shared by the team confirms that audiences will be able to watch the film early through paid previews across selected cinemas nationwide. The announcement has already created massive buzz among fans of the popular Welcome franchise. The Ahmed Khan directorial features one of the biggest ensemble casts seen in a Bollywood comedy film. Alongside Akshay Kumar, the movie stars Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lara Dutta, Raveena Tandon, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Krishna Abhishek and several others. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The newly released poster showcases the cast in an action-packed jungle setup, hinting at a comedy adventure loaded with chaos, confusion and larger-than-life entertainment — elements that made the original Welcome films hugely popular among audiences. With booking now live on major ticketing platforms, the film is expected to put strong occupancy for the paid preview shows, especially in multiplex chains and metro cities. The early screening strategy has become increasingly popular in Bollywood, helping films build strong word-of-mouth before the official opening day.

Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle Eyes One of Widest Releases; Distributors Push for Massive Show Allocation

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, June 23 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar-led Welcome To The Jungle is reportedly gearing up for one of the widest releases seen for a Bollywood comedy entertainer in recent years. It is said that distributors are pressuring exhibitors to stage massive showcases across both single-screen theatres and multiplexes ahead of the film's release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to a Bollywood Hungama report, distributors are demanding all shows in several single-screen cinemas, while multiplex chains with six screens are being asked to allocate at least three shows per screen to the film. The aggressive release strategy underscores the growing importance of opening-weekend collections in today's theatrical market. The makers are banking heavily on the franchise value of the Welcome series along with the film's massive ensemble cast and large-scale comic setup. With strong distribution backing already in place, the film is expected to secure extensive penetration across key mass and urban circuits nationwide. However, the move has also triggered discussions within exhibition circles. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While some trade experts see it as a sign of confidence, others believe excessive showcasing can become risky if audience demand fails to match expectations. In recent years, several big-budget Bollywood films have failed to perform to the level of high expectations. Plus, there are holdover films which are doing well at the box office, and will be forcing the exhibitors to allocate enough shows in the coming week. Despite the debate, Welcome To The Jungle is clearly being positioned as a major theatrical event. Whether the ambitious release strategy converts into strong box office numbers will ultimately depend on audience response once the film arrives in cinemas. The film is scheduled to release on June 26.

Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle CBFC Certificate and Official Theatrical Runtime Revealed

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, June 22 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's much-awaited comedy entertainer Welcome To The Jungle has completed its censor formalities ahead of release. The Ahmed Khan directorial has reportedly been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a U/A certificate after several modifications and cuts suggested by the board. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to reports, the CBFC asked the makers to implement a total of 18 changes before approving. Among the notable modifications were the removal of a Kashmir-related dialogue reference, toning down of certain suggestive bikini scenes featuring Disha Patani and Jacqueline Fernandez, and edits to abusive language, double-meaning dialogues, and a few violent visuals. The comedy entertainer was originally applied with 165 minutes runtime, and following the approved edits, the film's official theatrical runtime has been locked at approximately 2 hours, 44 minutes, and 50 seconds, making it one of the lengthier comedy entertainers in recent times, and one of the longest for Akshay Kumar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Welcome To The Jungle serves as the latest instalment in the popular Welcome franchise and boasts a massive ensemble cast led by Akshay Kumar. The film also stars Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and several other actors in key roles. Directed by Ahmed Khan and backed by Firoz Nadiadwala, the film promises a blend of action, slapstick comedy, and franchise-style chaos on a grand scale. The movie is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on June 26, 2026. The trailer and promotional material have already generated strong buzz among audiences, particularly due to the return of the franchise's signature comic tone combined with an unusually large star cast.

Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle Advance Booking Update Revealed, But No Confirmation For Paid Previews

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, June 21 - After the back-to-back box office successes, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is gearing up for his next potential big hit, Welcome To The Jungle. The comedy entertainer is generating strong excitement ahead of its theatrical release, with the makers now planning a special paid preview strategy to boost early momentum at the box office. According to the Pinkvilla report, the film will have paid preview shows on June 25, one day before its official release on June 26, 2026. The strategy, though not a regular practice, has become increasingly popular in Bollywood, as it helps films create early word-of-mouth and build strong opening-day collections. Considering the popularity of the Welcome franchise, the paid previews could work in the film's favour. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Paid Previews Strategy, But No Confirmation While there is nothing official from the makers yet, it is said that they are targeting family audiences and fans of mass entertainers through these preview shows. Positive audience reactions from the early screenings could significantly improve the film's opening weekend performance. The film marks the third instalment in the successful Welcome franchise and promises a complete package of comedy, action, confusion, and entertainment. Akshay Kumar's last release, Bhooth Bangla, also had previews, and it did very well in those by grossing over 4 crores and setting the stage for a successful theatrical run. The makers of Welcome 3 aim to replicate a similar trajectory, and if it manages to get a positive reception from paid shows, the movie has enough star power and franchise potential to make it a huge box office success. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Advance Booking Update Meanwhile, the makers have officially confirmed that the full-fledged advance booking for Welcome To The Jungle is set to begin on Tuesday (June 23), 3 days ahead of the full-fledged theatrical release across major ticket-booking platforms. Even before the official bookings open, the film has witnessed impressive online interest, indicating strong anticipation among audiences. As per the latest trade projections, Welcome 3 is expected to take a very good start at the domestic box office. With paid previews, strong pre-release buzz, and a star-studded cast, the movie is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of 2026. All eyes are now on the booking response and whether the film can translate its online hype into massive box office numbers. Akshay headlines the film alongside a massive ensemble cast that includes Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, and several other actors. The trailer and promotional content have already created strong social media buzz, with fans particularly excited to see Akshay Kumar returning to the comedy genre on a large scale.

Bhooth Bangla Producer Ektaa Kapoor Heaps High Praise For Akshay Kumar; Calls Him a Pillar of Bollywood's Economy

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, May 6 - In a heartfelt and thought-provoking post, Bhooth Bangla producer Ektaa Kapoor has expressed her deep admiration for Bollywood Akshay Kumar, shedding light on his discipline and the larger role he plays in sustaining the film industry. Sharing a nostalgic picture of her father, Jeetendra, with Akshay Kumar, Ektaa drew a meaningful comparison between the two. She noted how both men carry discipline, consistency, and a strong belief in a producer's vision. She said that every interaction with Akshay reminds her of her father, highlighting a rare combination of professionalism and trust. Beyond Stardom: Supporting the Industry's Backbone (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ektaa Kapoor used this moment to address a broader reality of Bollywood. She emphasised that while big films with top directors may sustain one layer of the industry, it is actors who work regularly who truly keep the ecosystem alive. She credited legends like Dharmendra, Jeetendra, and Akshay Kumar for ensuring continuous opportunities for producers across all scales. The producer also responded to ongoing discussions about Akshay Kumar doing multiple films each year. She argued that this consistency is not overexposure but a necessity for the industry. Regular releases generate employment, support technicians, and allow mid-sized and smaller producers to stay active in the business. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The pure commerce these two men have brought is rarely appreciated.

Kareena Kapoor To Reunite With Salman Khan For Raj and DK's Superhero Film; Shoot Details Revealed

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, May 5 - In what could turn out to be one of Bollywood's most exciting reunions, Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly in advanced talks to star opposite Salman Khan in an upcoming superhero film directed by Raj & DK. The film, produced by Atul Agnihotri and Mythri Movie Makers, marks Salman Khan's first full-fledged entry into the superhero genre, making it a highly anticipated project. According to Variety India's report, Kareena has emerged as the frontrunner for the female lead, with discussions at an advanced stage. This project will reunite Salman and Kareena after more than a decade. The duo was last seen together in the blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and has previously shared screen space in films like Bodyguard, Main Aur Mrs Khanna, and Kyon Ki.... Their on-screen chemistry has always been a fan favourite, making this potential comeback even more exciting. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What We Know About The Film While the official announcement of the film is yet to be made, the yet-untitled project is being described as a high-concept superhero action entertainer, blending Raj & DK's signature storytelling style with Salman Khan's mass appeal. The project has already generated massive buzz, bringing together one of Bollywood's biggest stars with the creators of acclaimed shows like The Family Man. The film will present Salman Khan in a never-seen-before avatar as he steps into the role of an ageing superhero, who's drawn back into action by circumstances beyond his control, eventually leading him into a larger conflict. Interestingly, Kareena wasn't the initial choice for the role. Earlier, reports suggested that Samantha Ruth Prabhu was being considered, but Kareena has now taken the lead in the casting race. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Shoot Timeline Revealed As per the report, the film is expected to go on floors around October–November 2026, once Salman Khan wraps up his current commitments. The makers are reportedly eyeing a 2027 theatrical release, positioning it as a major tentpole project. A Salman–Kareena pairing has historically delivered both commercial success and strong audience recall. Bringing them together in a superhero film, combined with Raj & DK's fresh creative vision, could result in something truly unique for Hindi cinema.

Vicky Kaushal To Join Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi In 3 Idiots Sequel? Actor Emerges As Front-Runner For 4th Idiot Role

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, May 4 - The much-awaited sequel to 3 Idiots is gaining serious momentum, and the latest update has only heightened excitement among fans. If reports are to be believed, Vicky Kaushal has emerged as the front-runner to play the fourth idiot in the upcoming film. The sequel is expected to reunite the original trio - Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi - continuing the legacy of one of Bollywood's most iconic films. According to Pinkvilla, Vicky Kaushal is in advanced discussions and has shown a strong interest in the script. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actor is said to be excited about collaborating once again with Rajkumar Hirani after working with him on films like Sanju and Dunki. If finalised, Kaushal's character will mark a significant addition to the franchise, expanding the story beyond the original trio. As said, the 3 Idiots sequel will bring back the beloved characters that made the original film a cultural phenomenon. Aamir Khan has already confirmed that the film is in the works and hinted that the story will be set 10 years after the first film, retaining the original's humour while exploring a new and unusual direction. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Released in 2009, 3 Idiots was not just a box office blockbuster but also a socially impactful film that resonated deeply with audiences for its take on India's education system with a lot of heart and humour. The sequel aims to build on that legacy while introducing new elements and characters. While the film is still in the scripting stage, reports suggest that the makers are carefully crafting a story that justifies the addition of a fourth lead rather than simply extending the original narrative. The team is taking its time to write the screenplay that lives up to the legacy of 3 Idiots, with the second instalment expected to go on floors in the second half of 2027.

Bollywood Buzz: Ranveer Singh's Pralay Shoot Begins In August 2026 As Vicky Kaushal Blocks 18 Months For Mahavatar

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, April 30 - Bollywood's upcoming slate continues to get bigger and more ambitious, with two major projects starring Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal making headlines for their scale, timelines, genre diversity, and other reasons. Pralay Begins In August 2026 After the historic success of Dhurandhar films, Ranveer Singh is set to headline the post-apocalyptic thriller Pralay, directed by Jai Mehta. Over the last few days, there have been rumours that Pralay has had a creative difference and might be pushed back indefinitely. But according to the latest report by Variety India, there is no truth in such rumours, and the project is on. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With a reported budget of three hundred crore rupees, Pralay is scheduled to go on floors by August this year. The production plans to merge physical sets with cutting-edge AI-driven visuals to create a dystopian atmosphere unlike anything seen in Indian cinema. South Indian actress Kalyani Priyadarshan has been finalised to make her Hindi film debut alongside Singh, marking a fresh pairing for this survival drama. Vicky Kaushal Blocks 18 Months For Mahavatar In a simultaneous move toward grand-scale storytelling, Vicky Kaushal has dedicated an eighteen-month window to the epic Mahavatar. Starting in June 2026, the actor will undergo a rigorous six-month preparation phase involving physical transformation and workshops to inhabit the role of the immortal sage-warrior Parashurama. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Once filming begins in January 2027, Kaushal intends to stay focused exclusively on this project until its completion in December. This level of commitment means he will not take on any other films during this period, ensuring total immersion in the character. This decision highlights a growing trend among top-tier actors to prioritise singular, high-impact performances over multiple concurrent shoots. Vicky Kaushal is expected to wrap his work on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War just in time to begin his intense prep for Mahavatar. Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh has reportedly moved away from the Don franchise to explore new genres, leaving a vacancy in that iconic series. As these stars lock in their schedules, the industry is clearly pivoting toward long-term investments in world-building and myth-making that seek to captivate global audiences.

Tumbbad 2 Release Date Confirmed: Sohum Shah Returns for a Grand Horror Sequel

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, April 29 - Fans of the cult classic Indian folk horror film can finally mark their calendars. Following years of speculation and a record-breaking theatrical re-release of the original film, makers have officially announced that Tumbbad 2, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and others, will hit cinemas on December 3, 2027. While the first film was a masterclass in claustrophobic tension and greed, Tumbbad 2 promises a massive leap in scale. The sequel's central theme is said to be "Pralay" - the Hindu concept of cosmic dissolution or the apocalypse. This suggests that while the first film dealt with the personal greed of one family, the sequel may explore the catastrophic consequences of that greed on a much larger, perhaps even global, scale. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Adesh Prasad, Tumbbad 2 is positioning itself as one of the most expensive horror-fantasy films ever made in India, with a reported 150 crore budget. A significant portion of this budget is being allocated to cutting-edge visual effects and the elaborate practical sets required to bring the "Pralay" vision to life. Production of the film has already commenced, giving it enough time for filming and post-production to ensure the sequel matches the meticulous craftsmanship of its predecessor. The original Tumbbad took six years to make and was a slow-burn success that eventually gained legendary status on streaming platforms. With the sequel, the producers are aiming for a global blockbuster right out of the gate. As the December 2027 release date approaches, Tumbbad 2 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Indian films of the decade.
