Dhurandhar lands in legal trouble: Family of late Major Mohit Sharma moves Delhi High Court; seeks stay on Ranveer Singh starrer

The upcoming Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar has hit a legal roadblock just days before its release, as the family of late Major Mohit Sharma has approached the Delhi High Court seeking an immediate stay on the film. According to Bar and Bench, the petition, filed by the martyr’s family, accuses the makers of allegedly drawing from Major Sharma’s life and covert operations without seeking the family’s consent. The respondents named in the plea include the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Central Board of Film Certification, the ADGPI, the film’s director and co-producer Aditya Dhar, and producer Jio Studios. The family asserts that the film violates Major Sharma’s posthumous personality rights under Article 21 of the Constitution. They argue that any unauthorised portrayal infringes upon their own right to privacy, dignity and emotional security. A major concern raised in the petition is the possibility of the film revealing sensitive information related to the co...

Shweta Tripathi to produce her first horror film Nava under Bandarful Films in association with Kowatanda Films India

Actor-producer Shweta Tripathi is expanding her storytelling universe with Nava, her first-ever horror project under her banner Bandarful Films, created in association with Kowatanda Films India. This marks her second production venture after the queer drama Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan, starring Tilottama Shome, reaffirming her commitment to backing bold, original and culturally rooted narratives. Set against the hauntingly beautiful yet formidable wetlands of the Sundarbans, Nava follows the story of Tara, who returns to her ancestral home only to find herself pulled into a chilling, generation-old mystery involving river gods, buried family secrets and the uneasy coexistence of myth and memory. Written by Akash Mohimen, the film is positioned as an evocative blend of folklore, fear and emotional depth. Speaking about producing her first horror film and continuing to diversify the stories she wants to champion, Shweta Tripathi shared, “Nava is a very special step for me as a produc...

Aamir Khan drops major career update at IFFI 2025: Superstar confirms full-time return to acting after wrapping current films

Aamir Khan brought the final Fireside Chat of the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) to a roaring conclusion, turning the packed Kala Academy into what felt like an immersive masterclass in cinema. The session, moderated by acclaimed film critic Baradwaj Rangan, was titled ‘The Narrative Architect of Social Transformation and Inclusivity’ and soon turned into a candid, insightful and deeply personal conversation with the superstar. Aamir began by revisiting the origins of his love for stories, recalling memories of his grandmother’s tales and the magic of Hawa Mahal on the radio—moments he credits for shaping his creative instincts. “I’ve always been drawn to stories. They were a big part of my childhood, and that fascination has guided every choice I’ve made as an actor,” he said. What emerged through the session was Aamir’s belief in instinct over calculation. “I can’t repeat myself. Once I’ve done a certain kind of film, I want to move on. I look for stories that fee...

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC replaces ‘Harami’ with ‘Kameena’, ‘Sex’ with ‘Aiyaashi’ and ‘The art of lovemaking’ in Gustaakh Ishq

The ‘ishq’ day, November 28, is here for two films with the word ‘ishq’ or ‘ishk’ have released today – Tere Ishk Mein and Gustaakh Ishq. The latter marks the first theatrical release of producer Manish Malhotra and has been noticed due to its lovely trailer, feel-good zone and lead cast. In this article, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively focus on the cut list of Gustaakh Ishq. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed Gustaakh Ishq with a U/A 13+ certificate. However, the Examining Committee asked for a few changes. They told the makers to replace ‘Harami’ to ‘Kameena’ and ‘Kameeni’. They also instructed them to replace ‘rascal’ with ‘scoundrel’ in the subtitles. Secondly, ‘sex’ was replaced with ‘aiyaashi’ and ‘the art of lovemaking’. The subtitles were also modified suitably. Thankfully, the CBFC makers didn’t ask for any visual cut as they didn’t feel the need for it in this clean family entertainer, as it's devoid of sex and violence. Once these changes were mad...

Kapil Sharma to return to Colors after 11 years in Laughter Chefs: Report

Recent reports suggest that Kapil Sharma is all set to make a much-talked-about return to Colors, marking a significant moment for fans who have long associated the channel with some of his earliest television triumphs. While he is not reviving Comedy Nights With Kapil, the iconic skit-based chat show that made him a household name, the comedian, we hear, is gearing up to be a part of an entirely different show— the comedy cooking reality show Laughter Chefs that is expected to mark a return with its new season soon. For those who came in late, Comedy Nights With Kapil had once been one of the biggest draws on Indian television, welcoming major Bollywood stars and featuring popular comedians like Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda and many others. The show ended amid reports of a fallout between Kapil and the channel — an incident that unfolded nearly 11 years ago. Despite the long-standing buzz around their differences, the comedian and the network have finally decided to tu...

Sunjay Kapur Estate case takes explosive turn as Shradha Suri’s new statements raise doubts over will’s authenticity

The high-stakes legal battle over industrialist Sunjay Kapur’s estate deepened on Thursday after fresh testimony before the Delhi High Court raised new questions about the authenticity of the Will submitted by his third wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur. Statements made by Shradha Suri Marwah — named as executor in the disputed document — have added further uncertainty to an already contentious dispute involving Kapur’s children, Samaira and Kiaan with none other than actress Karisma Kapoor. Appearing before the court through her counsel Anuradha Dutt, Suri admitted that her earlier account about how she first received the Will was incorrect. She now claims that the document was not shared by Priya Kapur but by an individual named Dinesh Agarwal, who emailed her on June 14, attaching what he said was Kapur’s Will and instructing her to act as executor. According to Suri, Agarwal later said he had mistakenly sent Kapur’s trust deed instead and re-sent the supposed Will the same day. The seque...
