Rahi Anil Barve BREAKS SILENCE on Shraddha Kapoor’s exit from Ektaa Kapoor’s film over Rs 17 crores fee demand

Reports are doing the rounds that Shraddha Kapoor is no longer a part of Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming thriller. However, filmmaker Rahi Anil Barve, who is said to be directing the film, has seemingly dismissed the rumours. “These are all rumours. Everything is a rumor,” Barve told Bombay Times when asked about Shraddha’s exit. He did not confirm or deny her departure but added a cryptic note: “Right now all I can say is that I'm finishing Rakt Brahmand. I am working on my next. That's it.”

Readers may recall that Bollywood Hungama reported that Shraddha reportedly asked for a fee of Rs 17 crores, along with a share in the film’s profits. This would have made her one of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood. However, the latest PeepingMoon report stated that Ekta Kapoor found the amount too high, especially considering the challenges faced by women-led films at the box office.

Due to this, the film’s budget may have been impacted, and the producers have now started looking for a new lead. The report added that the makers are in talks with several top actresses to step in.

Meanwhile, Shraddha is said to be exploring multiple projects. She is reportedly in talks with Dinesh Vijan, Boney Kapoor, and Bhushan Kumar. A formal announcement about her next project is expected within the next two months.

While there has been no official confirmation from Shraddha Kapoor or Ekta Kapoor's team, director Rahi Anil Barve has resumed work on his upcoming web series Rakt Brahmand. The fantasy drama stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Ali Fazal. It was earlier delayed due to financial issues but is now set to begin filming in Mumbai next month. Barve is expected to focus on Ekta’s thriller only after finishing this project.

Salman Khan to play Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu in his next: Report

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is set to step into the shoes of a national hero for his next film, as reports confirm that he will portray Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu, the brave heart who laid down his life during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops. The film will be directed by Shootout at Lokhandwala and Mission Istaanbul director Apoorva Lakhia and is scheduled to go on floors in July 2025.

The project is said to be based on the real-life story of Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu MVC, who served as the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment. He was killed in action during the 2020 China–India skirmishes in the Galwan Valley, becoming the first Indian Army officer to be KIA against the PLA since 1967. His heroic actions, despite being outnumbered, are chronicled in the acclaimed book ‘India’s Most Fearless 3’ by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh.

“Colonel Babu’s character is heroic. He had proved his mettle in several counterinsurgency and infiltration operations. The director has acquired the rights to the first chapter called I Had Never Seen Such Fierce Fighting — The Galwan clash of June 2020. It is a first-hand account of the 2020 clash at the Galwan Valley,” a source told Mid-Day. The screenplay has been adapted by Suresh Nair, in collaboration with Chintan Gandhi and Chintan Shah, with Shah also writing the dialogues. “Salman loved the story and will begin his prep from the end of May. He has already begun physical training for his role at his farmhouse in Panvel,” the source added.

This collaboration marks Salman Khan’s first project with Apoorva Lakhia. A source close to the production earlier confirmed, “Salman Khan has locked Apoorva Lakhia as his next film, and it is confirmed to go on floors in July 2025.”

In earlier report by Bollywood Hungama, sources stated, “Salman Khan will be shooting at high-altitude Ladakh for director Apoorva Lakhia's next. He has begun the training process and will be appearing in a lean physique for the film. It's a 20-day schedule in Ladakh, followed by 50 days in Mumbai, calling it a wrap. The film will release in the first half of 2026.”

With a tight 70-day schedule split between the rugged terrain of Ladakh and urban settings in Mumbai, the film is expected to offer a gripping and respectful portrayal of bravery, sacrifice, and national pride.

Ram Gopal Varma slams Indian filmmakers in scathing post; says, "We push their dumbness further down"

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has once again sparked a debate with his unapologetically blunt take on the state of Indian cinema. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Varma compared Indian filmmakers to Hollywood’s approach, specifically praising Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which marks the last chapter in the globally popular spy franchise led by Tom Cruise.

In his post, Varma wrote, “The difference between them and us is they assume the audience to be intelligent and push their intelligence further up, by making films like #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning. On the contrary, we assume the audience to be dumb and we push their dumbness further down in the hope of even reaching the dumbest of the audience by making films like ____________.”

While he left the last bit open-ended, many followers shared their disappointment over the filmmaker’s attitude—especially given his own track record in recent years. Social media users were quick to “fill in the blank” with titles from Varma’s own filmography, including Agyaat, Aag, D Company, Department, and even Sarkar 3, all of which failed to strike a chord with audiences or critics. Some also took issue with Varma’s tendency to praise Hollywood while mocking Indian cinema. “We Indians have habit of downgrading our things and hyping average stuff coming from International market....” read one of the comments.

The difference between them and us is they assume the audience to be intelligent and push their intelligence further up, by making films like #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning On the contrary we assume the audience to be dumb and we push their dumbness further down in the hope… — Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) May 18, 2025

Known for speaking out against the film industry on multiple occasions, Varma has never shied away from shocking statements including his recent comments on over-the-top commercial entertainers and the increasing trend of relying on CGI-heavy action without strong screenwriting or character arcs. His latest statement, however, directly pits Indian filmmakers against Hollywood’s legacy franchises, particularly praising Mission Impossible. Whether Varma’s comments lead to serious introspection or just more online noise, that remains to be seen!

Meanwhile, speaking of Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning, it is expected to be Tom Cruise’s swan song in the role of IMF agent Ethan Hunt. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film is the concluding part of the two-part finale, following Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023). The new instalment also starring Hayley Atwell, Vanessa Kirby, and Ving Rhames, released on May 17 in India.

Jr NTR to play a character that extends beyond War 2 in YRF spy universe: Report

Telugu superstar Jr NTR is all set to make his much-anticipated Hindi film debut in War 2, and recent reports suggest his character is not just a one-time appearance. According to a source quoted by ETimes, the actor's role has been crafted as a key player in the YRF Spy Universe, with plans extending far beyond the upcoming action film.

“His character won’t just be limited to War 2. Expect standalone films, spin-offs, and major crossover appearances,” the insider revealed to ETimes, hinting at the studio’s larger plans to integrate him across multiple projects which are a part of the franchise. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 stars Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as RAW agent Kabir, with Jr NTR playing an antagonist.

The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 14, 2025, and is being pitched as one of the biggest face-offs in Indian cinema. With this sequel, YRF is not only expanding the narrative of War (2019) but also strengthening the interconnected web of its espionage universe.

The YRF Spy Universe began with Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and has since grown to include Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. Each instalment has introduced high-octane action, international missions, and larger-than-life characters. Shah Rukh Khan’s character Pathaan and Salman Khan’s Tiger have already crossed paths in Tiger 3, while Pathaan 2 and a rumored Tiger vs Pathaan film are in the works. Joining this world will also be Alia Bhatt starrer Alpha which will also star Sharvari in a key role.

With Jr NTR’s entry, the universe is getting its first major South Indian star, signalling a strategic move to appeal to Pan-India audiences. This aligns with Aditya Chopra’s long-term vision to build a Marvel-style spy-verse rooted in Indian cinema where characters cross paths across storylines and timelines.

Sources close to the development say that Jr NTR’s character is layered, morally complex, and could straddle the line between heroism and grey shades. Now with the new update on the Telugu superstar’s role, it seems that War 2 will not only be an explosive action spectacle but it will also lay the foundation of a much larger cinematic ecosystem.

Shraddha Kapoor backs out of Ektaa Kapoor’s next with Rahi Anil Barve? Fee dispute sparks exit: Report

After the huge success of Stree 2, fans have been eagerly waiting to know about Shraddha Kapoor’s next film. There were recent reports that she was in talks to star in filmmaker Rahi Anil Barve’s next, backed by producer Ektaa Kapoor.

Readers may recall that Bollywood Hungama had reported that Shraddha had charged a fee of Rs 17 crore along with a profit share for the project. A well-placed industry source told us, “This is among the highest upfront fees received by Shraddha Kapoor, as also one of the highest pay cheques in today's time for a female lead in Hindi. Ekta Kapoor was more than happy to splurge Rs. 17 crore to sign Shraddha, as the Rahi Anil Barve film will be Shraddha's follow-up to the highest-grossing film of Hindi Cinema - Stree 2.”

However, as per the latest report by PeepingMoon, the actress has now reportedly walked out of the film due to a disagreement over payment. A source told the portal, “Shraddha is no longer doing Ektaa’s upcoming film.” The report adds that the actress and producer could not agree on the financial terms. Ektaa Kapoor reportedly found Shraddha’s fee too high for a women-led film, and it would have raised the overall budget of the movie.

With Shraddha said to be out of the project, the makers are now looking for another lead actress. “The producers are already in talks with a leading actress for the role,” the report states.

As of now, Shraddha Kapoor only has Stree 3 officially lined up. The film is set to release in theatres on August 13, 2027. It will be the third part of Maddock Films’ hit horror-comedy franchise. In Stree 2, Shraddha starred alongside Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi, and Abhishek Banerjee. The film turned out to be a major box office hit.

Taapsee Pannu shoots emotional courtroom scenes for Mulk 2 in Bandra church: Report

Actor Taapsee Pannu is currently filming Mulk 2, the sequel to her 2018 courtroom drama Mulk. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film focuses on important social issues like identity, faith, and civil rights.

Over the past two weeks, Taapsee has been shooting key scenes at a church in Bandra. The church has been turned into a courtroom set for the film. A report by Mid-Day quoted a source saying, “Taapsee has been shooting courtroom portions over the past few days. The emotionally charged sequences see her delivering lengthy monologues. She is fully prepped, and one can see how deeply she is invested in the material.”

It is not yet clear if she is playing the same character, lawyer Aarti Mohammed, from the first film. However, her courtroom scenes are said to be among the most powerful parts of the movie. The Mumbai schedule is expected to continue for four more days. After that, the team will move to Uttar Pradesh and Haryana for an outdoor shoot. This part of the schedule will last around 20 days.

An insider shared, “Anubhav’s past films are proof that he tells his stories in a gritty and realistic manner. He wants to root Mulk 2’s story in its social and geographical context. Locations have been finalised in Lucknow, Meerut, and Karnal, where the director will film some rally and courtroom scenes.”

The entire shoot is expected to be completed in another 20 to 25 days. After wrapping up Mulk 2, Taapsee is expected to begin work on Haseen Dillruba 3.

BMC issues notice to Mithun Chakraborty over alleged illegal construction in Malad

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has sent a show cause notice to actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty for allegedly building an illegal structure in Malad’s Madh area.

The notice says that a ground-floor structure was built on a plot in Erangle village without the required permission from the authorities. The BMC has asked Mithun Chakraborty to explain the changes made to the property. If he fails to give a proper explanation, the structure could be demolished. The BMC has also warned of possible legal action.

This action is part of a larger crackdown on unauthorised constructions in the Madh area. So far, the BMC has identified 101 illegal structures in the locality. These include bungalows built using fake documents. The civic body plans to demolish all illegal constructions by the end of May.

According to civic officials, during a recent inspection near the Hira Devi Mandir in Erangle village, they found two one-plus-mezzanine-storey buildings, one ground-floor structure, and three temporary units made of bricks, wood, glass, and AC sheets. These were all constructed without proper approval.

The show cause notice sent to Chakraborty is under Section 351(1A) of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation (MMC) Act. He has been given seven days from May 10 to explain why the structure should not be removed or demolished. Officials also said that such violations can lead to fines and even jail time under Section 475A of the MMC Act.

As per a report by Free Press Journal, when asked about the issue, Mithun Chakraborty said, “I have no unauthorised structures. Notices have been sent to many, and we are sending our replies.”

EXPLOSIVE: Andaz Apna Apna actor Shehzad Khan EXPOSES the real reason he’s missing from films: “Casting directors themselves act, cast same actors repeatedly; I can’t be expected to do CHAMCHAGIRI”

Shehzad Khan spoke exclusively to Bollywood Hungama last month, not just about Andaz Apna Apna (1994) and its re-release, but also about other aspects, including his father’s epic reaction to his character Bhalla, the sidekick of the villain, Teja (Paresh Rawal).

Shehzad Khan mimicked his father, Ajit, in the film. When asked how he reacted to it, the actor revealed, “He was very angry. He didn’t see the film for a very long time. When people informed him about my act in the film, he finally saw some portions of the film. Then he told me, ‘Dobara aisi himakat mat karna’ (impersonates Ajit)!”

Was Ajit not in favour of being mimicked? Shehzad Khan explained, “Yes, he had a very serious persona. Also, you need to understand that it’s not my doing entirely. A film is a director’s medium. Hum toh katputli hai. Agar director bolega ‘utho’, toh hum uthenge; agar director bolega ‘naacho’, toh hum naachenge. Agar director bolega ‘nange ho jaao’, toh hum nange ho jaayenge! Hence, it’s nothing in our hand.”

Shehzad Khan, at this point, shared an interesting trivia, “Andaz Apna Apna’s director Rajkumar Santoshi’s father K L Santoshi had worked with my father as a hero. (Ajit) had also worked with Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan. That legacy continued with Andaz Apna Apna (smiles).” Salman was the leading actor of the comic caper along with Aamir Khan.

Nevertheless, Shehzad Khan is blessed with the fan following that Andaz Apna Apna enjoys, “People tell me that they have seen Andaz Apna Apna 50 times, 75 times and even 100 times. They also tell me that when they feel low, they watch this film. People have downloaded the film from OTT platforms on their phones and iPads. One person revealed that he watches Andaz Apna Apna daily!”

A lot of fans are hoping that Andaz Apna Apna 2 gets made. On this, he said, “If I were the film's producer, I would have been the right person to talk about it! Hum toh mazdoor aadmi hai. Hum gareeb actor hai. Apni dihaadi lete hai aur ghar chale jaate hai. Hum kya jawab denge (smiles).”

Shehzad Khan’s explosive claims

There was a point when Shehzad Khan was seen extensively in several films and it's not happening anymore. When asked the reason behind it, Shehzad Khan, who was having lunch while giving this interview explained, “Mera haath mein roti hai and I’ll answer you truthfully. There has been a community of casting directors which has now emerged. Woh khud acting kar rahe hai. Sab cheez woh log hi kar rahe hai. And they have certain selected actors whom they keep casting repeatedly. After doing so many films and working for so many years, I can’t be expected to do chamchagiri. Hum ek saaf suthre aadmi hai. Give me a role and I’ll perform with the best of my ability.”

He continued, “Through your medium, I’d like to make an appeal – Bhalla ko acche-acche characters do! He’s in a cult film and he’s a legend. I don’t usually tom-tom about myself. All I know is that main ek majdoor aadmi hoon. Until my last breath, I want to keep learning and keep acting. After working for so many years, I don’t even remember how many films I have done. I have lost count.”

However, he does have a few projects in his pipeline, “I have worked in a couple of web series. We are actors. Hum apna kaam karte hai, apni dihaadi lete hai aur ghar chale jaate hai. The producers and the OTT platform would know when it’ll be out. Until then, you can see me on news debates. Whenever the country needs me and whenever there is injustice, I always speak up. I talk without any bias. I don’t support any political party. I only support the people who do the right thing, where it is BJP government or any other government. I respect my Prime Minister and everybody should do the same.”

Kajal Aggarwal joins cast of Ramayana as Ravana's wife Mandodari opposite Yash: Report

Recent reports reveal that Kajal Aggarwal may have officially joined the cast of Ramayana, the much-anticipated mythological epic directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The actress is said to be seen portraying the role of Mandodari, the noble and wise queen who is the first wife of Ravana — a role essayed by Kannada superstar Yash in the film. If this holds true, this will be the first time Kajal and Yash will be seen sharing screen space.

A source confirmed Kajal’s casting to ETimes, stating, “Kajal just did her look test last week, and will be playing the character of Mandodari opposite Yash. She has started shooting for the bit recently. The makers are currently shooting Ravana’s Lanka bits.”

Mandodari, a lesser-explored but significant figure in the Ramayana, is often portrayed as a deeply intelligent and virtuous woman. According to the original epic, she is known for her wisdom, devotion, and moral compass, which stands in contrast to Ravana’s eventual downfall. Her presence in the narrative often serves as the voice of reason in Lanka, urging peace and righteousness.

Kajal’s addition to the cast adds another layer of gravitas to the already star-studded project. Earlier reports had suggested that actress Sakshi Tanwar, who previously collaborated with Tiwari in the critically acclaimed Dangal, was being considered for the role. However, the makers have now locked Kajal for the part, and the actress has already begun filming for her portions.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is expected to be a multiple parts saga based on the ancient Indian epic. While official announcements are still awaited, the reported ensemble includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Laxman, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi. The film is being produced on a grand scale and aims to re-tell the story of Ramayana with cinematic richness and emotional depth.

For Kajal Aggarwal, this role marks another exciting addition to her diverse filmography. She was last seen in Sikandar, alongside Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. With Ramayana, she steps into an iconic mythological universe, taking on a role that promises both substance and emotional complexity.

Vinay Pathak, Anna Sharma, Saloni Batra and Satyajeet Dubey wrap Maya Ko Maya; English-Nepalese thriller set for winter 2025 release

Winter is coming—with a new mystery. English-Nepalese psychological thriller Maya Ko Maya, headlined by Vinay Pathak (Bheja Fry, Khosla Ka Ghosla), Nepal’s breakout star Anna Sharma (Aktor, The Man from Kathmandu), Saloni Batra (Animal, Soni) and Satyajeet Dubey (Mumbai Diaries 26/11, Prassthanam), has wrapped its principal photography, makers announced on Friday. Set in modern Nepal and based on real events, the film is directed by Rohit Karan Baidya. Maya Ko Maya is eyeing a worldwide release in winter 2025.

The thriller is produced by Jyadro Movies, a Driver Inc. company with India’s leading independent film studio, Platoon One Films, known for indie gems like Sir (Cannes) and Ghaath (Berlinale), on board as a key creative consultant. Billed as a gripping tale of self-discovery and love, the film follows the journey of its protagonist, Maya, who struggles against the weight of societal expectations and turns to a form of therapy, setting off an emotional storm that threatens to reshape everything she knows. Maya Ko Maya explores identity, tradition, and the fight for authenticity in a world caught between past and present.

Vinay Pathak described filming in Nepal as a "deeply transformative experience," and said the country is a living, breathing character in the film. "Maya Ko Maya reveals a side of Nepal the world has rarely seen - raw, intimate, and powerful. A land that holds both beauty and pain in a single breath, much like Maya’s journey. Rohit’s vision and commitment have developed this film into an experience that invites you in with its beauty and stays with you because of what it dares to say," Vinay Pathak said in a statement.

Anna Sharma called the film a "powerful psychological thriller," which—though rooted in Nepal—anchors itself in universal emotions. "It was a truly enriching experience to bring this complex character to life, and working alongside the legendary Vinay Pathak made the journey all the more unforgettable," Anna said.

Saloni Batra said wrapping up the film felt like leaving behind a "wild, beautiful storm," and added, "My character doesn’t fit the mould. She’s fierce, messy, hopeful, and free. Shooting in Nepal was a treat in itself. The landscapes, the energy, and the people all added something real to the story and to how I approached the character."

"This film has been a labour of love," said director Rohit Karan Baidya, known for Life on the Road Nepal (screened at Singapore Independent Film Festival and IndieFilm Fest, California) and the Royal Television Society-nominated pilot Wild Cooks.

"What began as casual interviews in 2019 evolved into something urgent and necessary. Maya Ko Maya is a voice for those forced into silence, and a confrontation of the invisible violence that persists even in progressive societies," the filmmaker added.

Satyajeet Dubey said he was drawn to the film because of how "uncomfortably human" his character was. "In this film, nothing is black or white. We’re all trapped in shades of grey. It’s a psychological thriller, yes, but also a deeply intimate exploration of guilt, control, and suppressed desire," he added.

The film's casting was led by Platoon Collective, the talent management division of Platoon One Films, in collaboration with Driver Inc. Platoon One Films will also be facilitating the distribution and international sales of the film.

Lord Curzon Ki Haveli gets 'A' certificate: Director Anshuman Jha REACTS; says, "It needs to be standardised"

Anshuman Jha had the censor screening for his directorial debut on January 3, 2025. After a prolonged four-month+ engagement with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), actor and filmmaker Anshuman Jha’s much-anticipated directorial debut Lord Curzon Ki Haveli has officially been cleared with a censor certificate. The CBFC has granted the film an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certification with three mandated changes. The biggest one being that a female character cannot use a curse word on screen with a female prefix. Jha has had to mute/remove those portions even though it is an 'A' certified. The other major contention was the language of the film, since it is 50% in Hindi and 50% in English. Something the Actor-Film Maker is not particularly happy about.

A Black comedy thriller that has captured global attention over the past year, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli has been a breakout success on the international festival circuit. It was the only Indian selection at Europe’s premier genre showcase — Razor Reel Flanders 2024 — and earned Jha the “Best Director” honour at the UK Asian Film Festival 2024.

Starring International Emmy nominee Arjun Mathur alongside acclaimed actors Rasika Dugal, Paresh Pahuja, and Tanmay Dhanania, the film weaves an atmospheric tale around themes of identity and immigration, centered on the experiences of Asians in the UK.

Notably, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is the first mainstream Indian feature to be shot entirely on a single 35mm lens — "a bold creative choice inspired by Jha’s admiration for Alfred Hitchcock' cinema" says French Cinematographer Jean Marc Selva. The result is a stylish homage to classical filmmaking that has earned critical praise for both its narrative craft and visual flair.

The film is penned by award-winning writer Bikas Mishra and produced by Golden Ratio Films, Adya Films UK, and First Ray Films. Since its world premiere in Australia, it has picked up numerous accolades including “Star of Asia” for Rasika Dugal at CSAFF Chicago and “Best Actor” for Arjun Mathur at UKAFF London.

Speaking on the certification, Anshuman Jha commented, “It’s a relief that we finally have the certification. The journey hasn’t been easy, but we remained committed to the film we wanted to showcase. Not only was the delay too long, but to then get an A certification and to cut and mute scenes. There are other film that get away with UA having worse expletives and violence. While I’m ok to follow the rules, it needs to be standardised”.

Globally acclaimed, Censor certified, finally coming home. Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is hugely awaited.

Bhool Chuk Maaf's 'Zero VPF' buzz SHAKES the industry; likely to spark FURY among struggling, independent producers

Yesterday, on May 15, Maddock Films, the producers of Bhool Chuk Maaf and PVR Inox, in a joint statement, announced that the Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf will arrive in cinemas on May 23. The official statement did not answer the question that was on the minds of several people in the industry and trade – is the romcom arriving on OTT in two weeks, as reported by a section of the media? Some stakeholders in the industry believed that one should wait for an answer from either of the two parties before jumping to conclusions. However, some believe that since both the producer and multiplex chain didn’t choose to address this aspect, it confirms the speculations. There’s also a claim that the OTT-theatrical window might be more than two weeks and a clear answer would emerge in a few days. While everyone was trying to process this development, another aspect of the release of Bhool Chuk Maaf has also come to light – the clause of the VPF waiver.

Some sources in the trade maintain that Bhool Chuk Maaf makers will have to pay the Virtual Print Fee (VPF) only if it crosses a certain number. If it fails to do so, then VPF will be waived off. However, certain experts have said that the producers have a complete waiver-off regarding VPF, regardless of its theatrical business. This aspect is significant considering the controversies that have rocked the industry over VPF in the past.

What is VPF? Virtual Print Fee (VPF) is a charge that big multiplex chains in India take from producers or distributors to help cover the cost of upgrading their technology, which is meant to give audiences a better movie experience. On average, this fee is around Rs. 20,000 per screen. For smaller cinema chains and non-2K theatres, this fee is collected by companies like UFO, Scrabble, Qube etc., which provide digital cinema services.

For a long time, producers have argued that the VPF shouldn’t be charged indefinitely and it was supposed to have been imposed only for a certain time. The exhibitors, on the other hand, feel that VPF is necessary as it helps bear the cost of playing the film using the latest technology and has many advantages.

In 2019, the matter became widely known and discussed after producer Ronnie Screwvala filed a case with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) against PVR, Inox, Cinepolis and Carnival Cinemas over VPF. One of the points raised in this complaint was that this fee is charged only from Indian films and that Hollywood movies are exempted. Interestingly, Dangal (2016), a Bollywood film starring Aamir Khan, was exempted from VPF as UTV had released it under the branding of Disney, a Hollywood studio! This led to immense opposition and was included in the complaint to the CCI by Ronnie.

However, the CCI ruled in favour of the multiplexes. Ronnie Screwvala, in an interview with Bombay Times, had then said, “I am disappointed, though not surprised, at the complete lack of support from all colleagues, producers, distributors and the creative community who in private commended the action. But not one individual, company or association supported my complaint as that would have gone a long way to endorse with the CCI the apparent practices that is common knowledge to all.”

The VPF was back in the news a year later, in 2020, when the fee was exempted temporarily due to pandemic-related uncertainties and a reduction in footfalls in cinemas. That was the last time VPF made news until Bhool Chuk Maaf brought it back into the limelight.

Cut to the present day… Thus, the history behind VPF has already led to raised eyebrows and even disbelief over the Bhool Chuk Maaf case outcome. An industry insider told Bollywood Hungama, “Already, there was a fear that if Bhool Chuk Maaf appears on OTT two weeks after its release in cinemas, other producers would also demand a similar arrangement. Now, the VPF waiver can also set a precedent. So many producers have claimed that they have suffered and had to pay more than Rs. 1.50-2.50 crores as VPF for releasing a film in 1000-1500 screens. Independent filmmakers also grouse about increased costs due to this fee. All of them can now rightfully ask the multiplexes, ‘If Bhool Chuk Maaf can have a VPF-free release, why not our film?’.”

REVEALED: The INSIDE story of Dinesh Vijan vs PVR legal battle; Bhool Chuk Maaf verdict SHOCKS the industry; exhibitors feel betrayed, fear a dangerous precedent that could shatter the 8-week theatrical window

The twists and turns in the Bhool Chuk Maaf legal row continue. On May 14, both PVR Inox and Maddock Films reached a consensus. As per reports, the Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi starrer will now release in cinemas on May 23. But what has shocked the industry and trade is that there are chances that the romcom will be made available on Amazon Prime Video in two weeks, that is, on June 6.

A source told Bollywood Hungama what happened, “PVR Inox dragged Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films to court for cancelling Bhool Chuk Maaf’s theatrical release at the last minute and going directly on OTT. The belief was that Dinesh Vijan would land in a soup and that he would try for an out-of-court settlement. But the reality was that the producer was willing to fight the case until the very end. He had made it clear that if the decision was not in his favour in the Bombay High Court, he would knock on the doors of the Supreme Court. This was not what PVR had anticipated. They felt the matter would be resolved in a few days but Vijan was willing to fight it out for months.”

The source continued, “This is when PVR decided to sit across the table and end the matter. Dinesh Vijan at first asked for simultaneous OTT and theatrical release but it was not agreed upon. Eventually, both parties agreed, with the intervention of the court, that Bhool Chuk Maaf need to first release in cinemas and then it can premiere on Amazon Prime Video after two weeks. It might also be changed to four weeks, as per insiders. Last week, while filing the case, PVR had asked for Rs. 60 crores in damages over breach of contract. This demand has now been withdrawn.”

As expected, the development stunned the exhibition sector. A trade expert said, “The standard rule is that a film needs to be exclusively in cinemas for 8 weeks. Only then can it arrive on a streaming platform. If a producer refuses to follow this directive, then the national chains do not release that particular movie in their properties. A lot of Tamil and Telugu films arrive on OTT in 4 weeks and many of these movies don’t get a release in PVR, Inox and Cinepolis. But this case changes everything. Now, so many South filmmakers will also demand the release of their film in the national chains even if they don’t follow the 8-week window. Even producers of small Bollywood films can use this case.”

The expert continued, “Last week, the whole exhibition sector was rooting for PVR Inox for filing this case but the May 14 outcome has angered the theatres. PVR Inox can claim victory, claiming that they managed to get Bhool Chuk Maaf in cinemas. But at what cost? The case was in their favour. Maddock had signed the contract, stating an exclusive theatrical release for Bhool Chuk Maaf. Then why did they opt for such a decision?”

Exhibitors speak up

Exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi said, “The official statements are still to come out. But if the two-week window directive is being agreed upon, then it sets a very wrong precedent. The confidence of those who have invested in the exhibition sector and those who are shareholders of listed companies in the sector will be shattered if these sorts of precedents are set. On one hand, we are discussing how the eight-week exclusive window is not enough and it should become a longer, wider window. On the other hand, this sort of scenario is detrimental to business. This ruling not just affects exhibitors. A proper window, like Mr Aamir Khan has also said, is beneficial to everyone in the value chain. Theatrical is a great monetization medium that sets the ball rolling for other avenues of monetization to be optimized. Hence, I hope producers stop being short-sighted and think long-term.”

Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal, meanwhile, explained, “This can’t be a precedent. But since the matter went to court, the decision in this case has been taken as per the order of the court.” When asked if other producers can use this case to lower the theatrical-OTT window, he replied, “No, they can’t. The conclusion in this case happened because of the court order.”

Bhool Chuk Maaf to release in theatres on May 23 after court settlement between Maddock Films and PVR Inox

In a significant turn of events, the much-anticipated Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf will now release in theatres on May 23, 2025, following a court directive. The decision comes after a legal dispute between Maddock Films and PVR Inox Cinemas was resolved, putting an end to weeks of uncertainty surrounding the film's release.

The issue began when Maddock Films cancelled the film’s theatrical release just a day before its scheduled premiere due to rising Indo-Pak border tensions, opting instead for a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video. The abrupt move left PVR Inox fuming prompting them to sue Maddock for a breach of contract amounting to Rs. 60 crores.

However, the matter has now been settled in court with the filmmakers being directed to release the movie theatrically. A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, “The court has passed its order in the Maddock Films vs PVRInox Cinemas case. Bhool Chuk Maaf, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, will now release in cinemas on May 23, 2025. Maddock Films plans to resume its marketing campaign from May 15.”

Interestingly, while the standard digital release window for Hindi films is typically eight weeks post-theatrical release, the court has made an exception in this case. “While the standard digital release window for Hindi films is eight weeks post-theatrical release, Bhool Chuk Maaf will debut on Prime Video in just two weeks — on June 6, 2025 — as per the court’s directive,” the source added.

PVR Inox has reportedly withdrawn its demand for monetary compensation following the court's order for a theatrical release. It has also been clarified that the two-week OTT premiere window will be a one-off decision given the unique circumstances, and the eight-week norm for other films will remain in place.

Directed by Karan Sharma and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films in association with Amazon MGM Studios, Bhool Chuk Maaf is a romantic comedy with an interesting twist that also stars Seema Pahwa in a key role. The film’s new release plan is expected to revive its buzz as promotions are set to kick off again from May 15 onwards.

Sunny Deol in talks for OTT debut with Netflix action thriller: Report

Sunny Deol, riding high on the success of his recent action entertainer Jaat, is reportedly set to take a new leap in his career. According to a report by Peeping Moon, the veteran Bollywood star is in advanced negotiations with Netflix India to headline a high-budget action thriller, marking his much-anticipated OTT debut.

While the deal is yet to be officially signed, reports indicate that the modalities are being finalized swiftly. According to these reports, the project is in the writing phase, with the production team aligning schedules to accommodate Deol's existing commitments. The film promises to showcase the actor in his quintessential massy, action-packed avatar, something that fans of the Gadar star have long celebrated.

This upcoming thriller will be produced by Suparn Verma, who is known for backing gripping stories like The Family Man Season 2 and Rana Naidu, marking his third production venture and his most ambitious one yet. While the director for the Netflix film is yet to be finalized, industry chatter suggests a tight race among several notable filmmakers. One of the frontrunners is said to be a director who recently helmed a period drama for the platform, though an official confirmation is still awaited.

The move to digital appears to be a strategic step for Sunny Deol, who continues to enjoy a stronghold in theatrical cinema. His forthcoming film Lahore 1947—directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan Productions—features an ensemble cast including Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, and Ali Fazal. The actor is also set to return in Border 2, alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. Additionally, Deol is reportedly attached to Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus Ramayana.

If finalized, the Netflix actioner would mark a new chapter in Deol’s career, offering fans the thrill of watching their favourite action hero in a digital-first narrative. With high-octane stunts and a gripping storyline expected, this project could well be one of the biggest OTT launches for an A-list Bollywood actor.

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s why Himesh Reshammiya’s Badass Ravi Kumar has still not premiered on OTT

The year began on a massy note thanks to Badass Ravi Kumar, starring Himesh Reshammiya. The film became a talking point thanks to its music, clapworthy dialogues and spoof genre and was well received by the audience and critics alike. However, it’s been more than three months since it was released in cinemas and yet, it hasn’t premiered on any OTT platform. The buzz among fans is that the makers must not have a good deal from a streaming giant; that’s usually the reason for such delays. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that Badass Ravi Kumar’s digital premiere has not happened for a very unusual reason.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Unlike the perception in the market, all major OTT giants are interested in buying Badass Ravi Kumar. They are ready to pay a hefty amount, as well as they know that there’s a lot of goodwill for the film and that it’ll amass huge viewership due to its entertaining content.”

Then what’s the issue? The source explained, “As per a deal with an OTT platform, you need to sign a contract stating that you’ll allow them to upload clips from your film on the streaming giant’s YouTube channel. Himesh Reshammiya, who is also the producer of Badass Ravi Kumar, has reservations with this clause. He wants the OTTs to simply upload his film on their platform, while he wants to be the sole person cutting memorable scenes from their film and putting them for public consumption on the YouTube channel of Himesh Reshammiya Melodies. That’s why he didn’t even sell the music rights to any music company.”

The source added, “Himesh Reshammiya is aware that he is sitting on a gold mine with Badass Ravi Kumar. Its dialogues created a frenzy in cinemas and these one-liners will get mad viewership on YouTube. The OTT giants don’t stop producers from uploading dialogues and scenes from their film on their YouTube channel. Even Himesh Reshammiya can do so if he signs the deal with the streaming giants. But then the views will get divided between the scenes uploaded by the YouTube channel of the OTT platform and that of Himesh Reshammiya Melodies. He doesn’t want that scenario. It's an unusual situation for the OTT giants. Nevertheless, the discussions are going on and once both parties reach a common ground, the much-awaited OTT premiere of Badass Ravi Kumar will be finally announced.”

Deepika Padukone charges Rs 20 crores for Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas’ Spirit: Report

Deepika Padukone is reportedly set to receive the biggest paycheck of her acting career. As per a report by India Today Digital, the actress is charging Rs 20 crore for her role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit, which is expected to feature Prabhas in the lead. This development, though yet to be officially confirmed, has attracted attention for surpassing the reported fees of her husband, actor Ranveer Singh. The project marks a potential professional reunion for Deepika and Prabhas following their collaboration in Kalki 2898 AD.

Shift in Plans Opens New Opportunity According to Pinkvilla, Deepika had initially declined the offer due to scheduling conflicts, as the original timeline for Spirit overlapped with her pregnancy. A source quoted in the report said, “Initially, Spirit was to begin by the end of 2024 and hence, Deepika had turned down the offer, as the timelines were not matching due to her pregnancy.” However, the shooting schedule was later revised, making it possible for Deepika to reconsider the role. Revised Timeline Clears the Way The same Pinkvilla source added, “With a delay in schedule, Vanga went back to Deepika with a revised shooting timeline, and the actress has now agreed to come on board Spirit.” Although there is no official announcement yet, this revised plan has reportedly aligned with Deepika’s availability. If confirmed, it would mark her first film post the birth of her daughter Dua.

Speaking of the upcoming film, it will mark Sandeep and Prabhas’ first collaboration. Readers may recall that in September 2024, Bollywood Hungama reported that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan might play a villainous duo in Spirit. However, the makers are yet to share an update on its cast, shooting, and release date.

MEGA EXCLUSIVE: Housefull 5 teaser controversy – Yo Yo Honey Singh owns ‘Laal Pari’; Nadiadwala Grandson HITS BACK with Rs. 25 crores defamation suit on Mofusion Studios and YouTube

On May 9, YouTube unexpectedly took down the teaser of the much-awaited film Housefull 5, citing a copyright claim by Mofusion Studios. Viewers were met with a message stating the video was unavailable due to this claim. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that Yo Yo Honey Singh has officially provided a written declaration that he alone owns the rights to the song and has exclusively sold it to Nadiadwala Grandson, post which Sajid Nadiadwala has filed a Rs. 25 crores defamation suit each against Mofusion Studios and YouTube. The dispute centres around the song ‘Laal Pari’, composed by Yo Yo Honey Singh.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The matter arose as the song ‘Laal Pari’ was incorporated in the teaser of Housefull 5. It is composed by Yo Yo Honey Singh and Mofusion Studios has claimed that they hold the rights to the song. However, Yo Yo Honey Singh has given in writing to Sajid Nadiadwala that he’s the sole rights holder to ‘Laal Pari’.”

The source continued, “Based on this strong piece of evidence, the producer has decided to take legal action. Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment is one of the biggest and most reputed production houses of Indian Cinema and the way the teaser of their expensive and grand film was removed without checking with them was unfair. Hence, they felt it was necessary to take action against Mofusion Studios. They also have a grouse against YouTube. The management of the banner believes that if a copyright claim did arise, then the video-sharing platform should have checked with the makers, especially considering that the channel of Nadiadwala Grandsons Entertainment has more than 16 lakhs subscribers and has never been accused of such malpractice in the past. But YouTube didn’t do so and simply removed the teaser, thus denting their image.”

The notices were delivered to YouTube and Mofusion Studios on May 12. The source said, “The legal team of Nadiadwala Grandson has asked YouTube to re-upload the teaser immediately or else pay damages amounting to Rs. 25 crores.”

Housefull 5 stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chunky Pandey, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Chitrangda Singh, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma and Nikitin Dheer. It is directed by Tarun Mansukhani of Dostana (2008) fame and releases on Bakri Eid, on June 6, 2025.
