Kapil Sharma's Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 Set for January Re Release; Here's Why the Makers are Betting on a Second Innings

In a rare move for a mainstream comedy, the makers of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 (KKPK 2) have decided to bring the film back to the silver screen in January 2026. While the film saw a decent initial release in December 2025, its theatrical potential was reportedly bottlenecked by a historic box office storm.According to a recent report by Mid-day, the decision to re-release the film is a strategic move to give the Kapil Sharma starrer the solo breathing room it lacked during its debut run. The primary reason cited for this January comeback is the overwhelming dominance of the Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar and James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash. Released on December 12, 2025, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 found itself sandwiched between two of the biggest cinematic events of the decade. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As per Mid day, the makers believe that Kapil Sharma's core family audience—particularly in the North Indian belt—was diverted due to the Dhurandhar Mania that swept the nation. By shifting back into theaters in January 2026, the producers are eyeing a cleaner window before the Republic Day releases, hoping to capture the audience that missed the film during the chaotic holiday season. Despite the heavy competition, the film managed to maintain a steady, albeit slow, pace at the ticket counters. Here is the box office breakdown for Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 as it concludes its first innings: India Net Collection: ₹ 11.9 Cr (as of Day 13) India Gross Collection: ₹ 14 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹ 1.75 Cr Worldwide Gross: ₹ 15.75 Cr Overseas: ₹ 1.75 Cr While the lifetime net of the original 2015 film was nearly ₹50 Crore, the sequel struggled to cross the ₹15 Crore mark in its first run due to the restricted screen count and the massive occupancy shift toward Dhurandhar. Directed by Anukalp Goswami and produced by Abbas-Mustan, the film holds emotional value as it marks the final on-screen appearance of the legendary veteran actor Asrani. Starring Kapil Sharma alongside Manjot Singh, Ayesha Khan, and Tridha Choudhury, the sequel follows the multi wife chaos that made the first part a household favorite. The re release strategy is a gamble that speaks to the shifting dynamics of the 2025-2026 box office. With Dhurandhar having already claimed the All Time Blockbuster title, there is a vacuum for light hearted, family-oriented comedy. Trade experts suggest that if the re-release is marketed correctly as a clean family entertainer, Kapil Sharma could see a significant bump in his final lifetime numbers. However, the film's success in January will depend heavily on whether the audience chooses to watch it in theaters or wait for its impending OTT premiere.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-starrer Becomes The Highest-Grossing Bollywood Film Domestically

Mumbai, December 26 - Jio Studios and B62 Studios' spy action thriller Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has become the highest-grossing Bollywood film at the Indian box office, surpassing superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan in just three 3 weeks. Displaying unprecedented box office dominance, Aditya Dhar's directorial continues to crush every release in its path, with Jawan becoming its latest casualty. The 2023 Shah Rukh Khan-fronted action drama had amassed an impressive 760 crore gross in India, a figure that has now been outnumbered by Dhurandhar, cementing its position as the biggest Bollywood blockbuster ever in the domestic market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When it comes to Hindi language grossers, only Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule currently stands ahead of Dhurandhar. The Telugu juggernaut charted its own historic run, nearly touching the 1000 crore (950+ crores) mark in its Hindi-dubbed version in India. Dhurandhar is trending stronger than Pushpa 2 currently, and if the momentum sustains, it could well become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. By the end of its fourth Friday, Dhurandhar will overtake Prabhas-fronted Kalki 2898 AD (767 crore India gross) to become the fifth highest-grossing film of all time in India. Notably, all four films above it on the list enjoyed the advantage of multilingual releases, an advantage that Dhurandhar does not have. On the worldwide front, the first instalment of the two-part saga is set to cross the 1000 crore gross milestone by the end of today. With this, Dhurandhar will become the first Indian film of 2025 and the ninth film of all time to enter the coveted 1000 crore club globally. Stay tuned...

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Box Office: Dharma Productions' Rom-Com Off To A Poor Start

Mumbai, December 26 - Dharma Productions' romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, featuring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Pandey, had a poor opening day at the domestic box office, falling well short of a double-digit opening. Released on a national holiday of Christmas, TMMTMTTM collected 7-8 crores net on day 1. The real collection, however, is even lower, as there are allegations of feeding. Despite the external push, the movie failed to take a respectable opening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) TMMTMTTM was always going to struggle due to the lack of buzz and the domination of Dhurandhar and Avatar 3, which are clearly the first two choices of moviegoers at the moment. The opening of Kartik Aaryan's starrer could have been slightly better had the word of mouth been positive, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It can be said that there is no way forward for the rom-com, as neither word of mouth seems to be proving, nor are the holdover films stopping anytime soon. The film was originally planned for a February 2026 release before the makers moved it up a couple of times; however, these plans often fail if the content is weak. Stay tuned...

Akshaye Khanna Exits Ajay Devgn-fronted Drishyam 3; Reason Revealed

Mumbai, December 26 - One of the hugely-awaited films of 2026, Drishyam 3 faced a major setback after Akshaye Khanna, who has been basking in the back-to-back successes, reportedly exited from the film, leaving the makers in a major dilemma to fill one of the major characters of the franchise. Earlier, it was reported that the creative differences between the actor and makers led the former to back out of the Ajay Devgn-led film. Now, according to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the big remuneration demand turned out to be the main reason behind the actor's exit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) There is no doubt that Akshaye is enjoying one of the best phases of his career after the big success of Chhaava and Dhurandhar, in which he received huge applause for playing the main antagonist roles. Because of the growing popularity, the actor reportedly demanded 21 crores in fees to feature in Drishyam 3, which took the makers aback. "Akshaye was menacing as the villain in Chhaava, while he stole the show, and how, in Dhurandhar. He has become the next big thing. Realising the same, he decided to revise his fees. Accordingly, he asked for Rs. 21 crores from the makers of Drishyam 3", said the report. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The makers reportedly tried to reason with him that if he's paid a bomb, the film would go over-budget. However, the actor was adamant in his demand as he believes that his presence adds major value to any film. Apart from the remuneration, the report also stated that Akshaye demanded to wear a wig in the film, which the makers rejected as he wasn't without a wig in Drishyam 2. Since the demands were made, Akshaye walked out of the suspense crime thriller film. The exit happened on a good note as the makers hope to collaborate with Akshaye in future when they'll be on the same page. Meanwhile, the shoot of Drishyam 3 has already commenced, and it will be hitting the big screens on October 2, 2026. Stay tuned...

MAJOR UPDATE: Akshaye Khanna Exits Drishyam 3. Success of Dhurandhar Triggers Massive Fee Hike and Creative Stand-Off

In a development that has sent shockwaves through the trade circuits, Akshaye Khanna has reportedly exited the highly anticipated franchise sequel, Drishyam 3. While the Drishyam series is known for its intricate plot twists on screen, the drama behind the scenes is currently grabbing all the headlines. According to reports (Source: BH), the primary reason for this departure is a significant disagreement over remuneration and specific creative preferences. Akshaye Khanna, who received immense acclaim and a massive box office boost following his pivotal role in the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar, has reportedly seen his market value skyrocket. Coming off the back of Dhurandhar's record-breaking run, the actor reportedly revised his acting fee to ₹21 Crore for Drishyam 3. Trade sources suggest that the makers (Panorama Studios and Viacom18 Studios) felt the revised fee would push the film's production budget beyond a sustainable limit. While Khanna's performance as IG Tarun Ahlawat in Drishyam 2 was a major highlight, the production team reportedly could not meet the new financial requirements. Beyond the financial aspects, the report indicates that additional creative differences surfaced during pre-production. A specific point of contention was Akshaye Khanna's request to wear a wig for his character in the third installment. The directorial and creative team was reportedly uncomfortable with this change, preferring to maintain the continuity of the character's look established in the previous film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With Akshaye Khanna's reported exit, the hunt for a new antagonist or a replacement for the investigative officer's role is likely to begin soon. As of now, the confirmed primary cast remains: Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar,Tabu as Meera Deshmukh,Shriya Saran as Nandini Salgaonkarand Rajat Kapoor as Mahesh Deshmukh Drishyam 2 was a humongous success at the domestic box office, netting over ₹240 Crore in India and providing a much-needed boost to the industry post-pandemic. The chemistry and tension between Ajay Devgn and Akshaye Khanna were cited as a driving force for the sequel's repeat footfalls. The loss of Khanna is a creative blow, but the Drishyam brand remains one of the strongest pullers in Indian cinema. Historically, the franchise relies heavily on its screenplay and the Salgaonkar vs. The System trope. As Drishyam 3 moves through its production phase, the primary focus remains on protecting the film's climactic secrets. While trade buzz originally suggested a possible simultaneous release for both the Hindi and Malayalam versions to mitigate spoilers, current industry indications suggest that the Malayalam original starring Mohanlal is progressing on its own timeline, while Ajay Devgn's Hindi version remains firmly locked for its signature October 2, 2026 theatrical window. With Khanna's exit now looming, all eyes are on whether the producers will look for another powerhouse performer to maintain the high intensity face-off that fans have come to expect.

Shah Rukh Khan's Cameo In Rajinikanth-fronted Jailer 2 Confirmed? Here Is What We Know

Mumbai, December 25 — Speculation around superstar Shah Rukh Khan's possible involvement in Rajinikanth's much-awaited action drama Jailer 2 has taken the internet by storm. While the makers have been tight-lipped about the casting, veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty has reportedly spilt the beans on the same.

Speaking to SITI Cinema, Mithun said in Bengali that Jailer 2 is one such story, with an ensemble of experienced stars joining the superstar. While mentioning the names, the veteran actor revealed that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh is also a part of the film, alongside Mohanlal, Ramya Krishnan, and Shivarajkumar. Mithun's inclusion of SRK immediately set social media abuzz, with many interpreting it as a confirmation of the Pathaan star's presence in the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, despite the strong buzz, there is no official confirmation from the makers of Jailer 2 as of now. Neither Sun Pictures nor director Nelson Dilipkumar has announced Shah Rukh Khan as part of the cast. Importantly, Mithun Chakraborty himself has not explicitly stated that SRK has signed the film or shot for it, leaving room for speculation that his comment may have been informal or misunderstood. If Shah Rukh Khan does come on board, it would mark a rare and massive crossover moment, uniting two of Indian cinema's biggest icons, Rajinikanth and SRK, on screen, even if only briefly. Given the success of Jailer (2023) and the sequel's ambitious scale, the makers may be keeping such surprises tightly under wraps. Jailer 2 is currently in production and is slated for a 2026 release. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Box Office: Creates All Time History; First Indian Film to Collect 20 Cr+ for 17 Consecutive Days

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has rewritten the rules of box office sustainability. While many blockbusters rely on massive opening weekends, Dhurandhar has showcased a level of consistency never before seen in Indian cinema history. The film has officially become the first Indian movie to collect ₹20 Crore or more for 17 consecutive days. This 17-day streak is being hailed by trade analysts as the Gold Standard of box office runs. To maintain a floor of ₹20 Crore through two full work-weeks and three weekends is a feat that even legendary hits like Dangal or RRR could not achieve. The streak finally ended on Day 18 (Monday) with a routine weekday dip, but not before etching its name in the record books forever.

Dhurandhar Worldwide Collection: Ranveer Singh Starrer Nears 900 Cr; Eyes Top 10 Milestone on Day 19

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is on the verge of achieving the unthinkable. By maintaining an extraordinary grip through its third week, the film has officially climbed to the 11th spot on the all-time highest-grossing Indian films (Worldwide) list. This milestone cements the film's status as a generational blockbuster, outperforming several legendary titles in its path. As the film enters Day 19, the trade is in a state of high alert, as Dhurandhar is expected to officially displace Animal and Bajrangi Bhaijaan by tomorrow to secure its place in the prestigious Top 10. While many films struggle to sustain after the second week, Dhurandhar has shown Iron Legs at the box office. The film's worldwide gross has reached a staggering ₹876.5 Crore, and it is now rapidly closing the gap with the lifetime collections of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal and Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The film's dominance in the North American and UK markets, combined with a historic run in the Hindi heartland, has allowed it to climb the global ladder at an unprecedented speed, placing the All-Time Top 10 within striking distance.

This achievement would mark Ranveer Singh's first entry into this exclusive global club, signaling a massive shift in the superstar rankings of the Hindi film industry. With the Christmas holidays approaching, the trade is already speculating if the film has enough steam left to eventually challenge the ₹1000 Crore mark. With a current total of ₹876.5 Crore, Dhurandhar is now eyeing the ₹900 Crore mark by the end of its fourth weekend. The film has shown a unique trend where its third-weekend collections (₹89.75 Cr) were significantly higher than its opening-weekend estimates, a phenomenon rarely seen in the post-pandemic era. As it currently stands at Rank #11, the film is approximately ₹41 Crore away from displacing Animal to break into the elite Top 10.With the momentum from Day 19 expected to bridge this gap, Dhurandhar is on the verge of making a historic entry into the all-time global list by tomorrow. The film's extraordinary sustainability has now brought the ₹1000 Crore milestone into realistic view.If it continues to hold steady through the upcoming Christmas and New Year window—despite new arrivals like Vrusshabha—the project could become the first in Ranveer Singh's career to join the quadruple-digit club, cementing a new benchmark for the Hindi film industry.

Industry reports suggest that by withholding the Telugu dub for the first chapter, the team is building a massive appetite in the South for the second installment, which is expected to arrive as a simultaneous bilingual launch in both Hindi and Telugu. This move aims to ensure that the Telugu market experiences the sequel as a Day 1 native-language event, potentially yielding a record-breaking opening across South Indian territories.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Box Office (Advance Booking): Kartik Aaryan-starrer Heads For Single-Digit Opening

Mumbai, December 23 - Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday-fronted romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is heading towards a single-digit opening at the domestic box office, considering the current scenario of limited screen availability and restricted showcasing across major centres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Sameer Vidwans, the film has been finding it difficult to carve out space amid the overwhelming box office dominance of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, which continues to pull in strong footfalls, and James Cameron's Hollywood specatcle Avatar: Fire and Ash, which has occupied a significant chunk of premium screens nationwide. As a result of the box office dominance of the other two films, TMMTMTTM has been allotted fewer shows so far, especially in key urban centres. The advance booking for the movie opened recently, but the momentum has remained on the lower side. The film is clearly struggling to generate buzz, with multiplexes opting for other strong-performing titles over the romantic comedy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) TMMTMTTM being an urban-centric film, strong multiplex support was expected to drive its opening numbers. However, the lack of enough screens in premium properties has put the film in a tricky position ahead of its December 25 release. Even with the limited shows currently available, the pre-sales trend has been underwhelming, with overall advance collections struggling to touch the 1 crore mark. There is still a day left, and if it manages to get some more screens, which it should with credible stars featuring in it, then it can hope for a decent start. However, if things don't improve, TMMTMTTM is likely to open in the range of 5 crore net, which will be disappointing. Stay tuned...

Don 3 Cast: Ranveer Singh Steps Back From Farhan Akhtar's Gangster Film

Mumbai, December 23 - The massive success of director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar has taken everyone by surprise, and actor Ranveer Singh is reportedly in no mood to let the momentum fade away anytime soon. The film has grossed nearly 900 crores worldwide, heading towards 1000 crores. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ranveer Singh was supposed to start director Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 post Dhurandhar; however, the success of the film has made the actor rethink his strategy. According to the report by Pinkvilla, Singh has opted out of the gangster action drama, as he doesn't want to be seen in back-to-back gangster films. It is said that the Gully Boy star has decided to back out of Don 3, and is now looking to fast-track his Zombie movie with director Jai Mehta. Since the actor already has Dhurandhar 2 scheduled for March 19, 2026, release, he asked Jai Mehta to prepone the shoot of the zombie thriller, reportedly titled Pralay. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Applause Entertainment-backed film, Pralay, tells a human story about how far a man will go to save his family in the most difficult circumstances. He is personally involved in aligning dates and schedules for Jai Mehta's film to ensure the film moves quickly and starts production sooner than originally planned. Meanwhile, the makers have already reportedly started scouting for a new actor to step into the role of Don, with the intention of taking the film on floors by the end of January 2026. The film has Kriti Sanon as the female lead. Stay tuned...
