Shots fired outside Disha Patani’s UP house, Goldy Brar claims responsibility

In the early hours of Friday, at about 4:30 AM, two shots were reportedly fired outside the residence of Bollywood actress Disha Patani, located in Civil Lines, Bareilly. The firing was reportedly an aerial discharge; no one was injured during the incident.

Authorities believe the shots were fired in response to alleged comments made by Disha Patani concerning Hindu spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. A group affiliated with Goldy Brar has claimed responsibility for the firing.

Senior Superintendent of Police, Bareilly, Anurag Arya, told India Today, “Immediately, the local police and a team from the Special Operations Group (SOG) reached the house and began the investigation. At least five teams have been formed to apprehend the accused. An adequate number of security personnel have been deployed at Patani’s home to ensure the safety of the family members.”

A social media post (in Hindi) surfaced shortly after the incident, naming two individuals Virendra Charan (of Rohit Godara Group) and Mahendra Saran as perpetrators. The message translated in English read, “Jai Shri Ram, Ram Ram to all brothers. I, Virendra Charan, Mahendra Saran (Delana). Brothers, today, the firing that happened at Khushboo Patani/Disha Patani’s (Bollywood actress) house (Villa No. 40, Civil Lines, Bareilly, UP). We got it done. She insulted our revered saints (Premanand Ji Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj). She tried to demean our Sanatan Dharma. The insult of our deities will not be tolerated. This was just a trailer. Next time, if she or anyone else shows disrespect towards our religion, then no one in their house will be left alive. This message is not just for her, but also for all the artists of the film industry and those associated with them. Whoever in the future commits such an insulting act against our religion and saints should be ready to face the consequences. To protect our religion, we are ready to go to any extent. We will never back down. For us, our religion and society are one, and protecting them is our first duty.”

Police have not yet verified the authenticity of the social media post. Meanwhile, the investigation continues. Though Disha Patani and her sister Khushboo Patani had earlier criticised spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya for his remarks on women and live-in relationships, the connection between those comments and this attack is under scrutiny.

Homebound gets release date: Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor starrer to arrive in theatres on September 26, 2025

After making waves on the global festival circuit, Neeraj Ghaywan’s much-anticipated drama Homebound is all set for its theatrical release. On September 13, 2025, producer Karan Johar took to social media to announce that the film will release in cinemas worldwide on September 26, 2025. Sharing the update, Johar wrote, “No feeling is final. #Homebound is releasing in cinemas on 26th September, worldwide.” The film will later stream on Netflix.

Homebound had its world premiere in May 2025 at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was showcased in the prestigious Un Certain Regard section. The film later travelled to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where it earned a standing ovation at its North American premiere earlier this month.

Directed and written by Ghaywan, the film is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under Dharma Productions. An adaptation of a 2020 New York Times article by Basharat Peer, Homebound stars Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa. It follows two childhood friends navigating the pressures of life as they prepare for the national police exam.

Adding further weight to the project, Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese came on board earlier this year as an executive producer. In April, Johar revealed Scorsese’s association with the film by posting the filmmaker’s handwritten note of appreciation for Ghaywan’s vision. Praising the director, Scorsese wrote, “I have watched Neeraj’s first film Masaan in 2015 and I loved it… Neeraj has created a beautifully made film that’s a valuable addition to Indian Cinema.”

Ghaywan credited Scorsese for mentoring him during the film’s development, screenplay revisions, and editing. Speaking about the experience, he said, “(It) is an honour beyond words… Mr. Scorsese mentored us through the screenplay and multiple rounds of editing. He listened with care, understood the cultural context, and offered thoughtful, incisive notes each time.”

Aamir Khan REVEALS the reason for his weight gain: "No, it's not for a role. I have been having these…"

There are reports in a section of the media that Aamir Khan has bulked up for his biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke.

However, the truth is not that creative. When I touched base with Aamir, he shocked me by revealing that the reason for his weight gain is medication for a health condition.

Says Aamir, “No, no, the weight gain is not for a role. Actually, you know, I have been having these migraines for some time and for that I need to be on a steroid treatment. And that steroid treatment causes me to put on weight; I can't help it. In fact, I've started my diet and workout because I need to get back into shape for, you know, whatever my next film is.”

So is Aamir cured of his condition? “No, because, you know, they're not able to figure out why it's happening. The steroid is taking the headaches away. But I can't keep taking steroids. In fact, I have an appointment the day after with the doctor. So, that's the reason for the weight thing. They're very good doctors, but sometimes, you know, it's difficult to diagnose exactly why it's happening. I understand it's complicated. At least they're not sending me on the wrong path. They're just still figuring out exactly what's wrong.”

MEGA EXCLUSIVE: Fawad Khan-Vaani Kapoor starrer Aabeer Gulaal to FINALLY release in India on September 26, 2025; worldwide release on September 12

Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront in giving exclusive news about Aabeer Gulaal. We announced last month that the film has been scheduled for a release on September 12 worldwide, excluding India. And now, as per latest development that is sure to rejoice Indian moviegoers, Aabeer Gulaal is all set to release in India as well.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Aabeer Gulaal has released today, that is, September 12, across the globe. The team of Indian Stories Limited (UK) have now made the decision to release the film in India two weeks from now, on September 26. They are confident of the product and feel that the film, which is a simple and sweet love story, has the potential to attract the audience everywhere, including India. Moreover, no other film is scheduled for a release on September 26 and hence, Aabeer Gulaal will enjoy a solo release in the country.”

Starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, Aabeer Gulaal is a feel-good, fiery romance about unexpected connections, second chances, and learning to make space for love — no matter how messy, inconvenient, or magical it may be.

When spirited Gulaal escapes an arranged marriage and lands in London, she crashes into the life of Aabeer Singh — a guarded restaurateur with a complicated past. Their lives collide through chaos, dance classes, and unexpected late-night rescues. What begins as rivalry slowly simmers into something deeper neither is ready for. But love demands more than chemistry — it asks them both to heal, forgive, and grow. This charming romantic comedy guarantees a mix of laughter, emotion and a story that celebrates the power of love and healing.

Aabeer Gulaal is produced by Vivek B Agrawal, Raza Namazi and Firuzi Khan and directed by Aarti S Bagdi. The music is composed by Amit Trivedi and lyrics are by Kumaar.

BREAKING: Mirai ends with the promise of a sequel titled Mirai: Jaithraya; to feature Rana Daggubati in an evil avatar

The Pan-India mythological-fantasy film Mirai has been released today worldwide. The excitement for it is there due to the subject, casting, exciting trailer and also the association of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions for the Hindi version. Bollywood Hungama has learned that Mirai is not just a one-part saga. The makers have intended it to be a multi-part series and the hint about it is given towards the end of the film.

Mirai ends with the promise of a sequel. The title of the second part is mentioned in the end slate - Mirai: Jaithraya. That’s not all. A mid-credit scene is shown to the audience and it introduces the new villain of the series – Rana Daggubati!

Further, Rana’s character is shown to possess a mysterious power. It is quite intriguing and with this scene, the makers make it clear that Veda, the protagonist, is up for a bigger threat in the sequel. Rana Daggubati looks apt for the casting and moreover, his role will surely remind one of his legendary villainous act as Bhallaladeva in Baahubali.

Mirai stars Teja Sajja, Manchu Manoj, Ritika Nayak, Shriya Saran and others. Written and directed by Karthik Gattamneni, it is the story of an orphan who realizes that he is in the world for the greater good and to stop an evil force. Teja plays the protagonist Veda while Manchu Manoj is the villain, Mahabhir Lama.

At the trailer launch of Mirai’s Hindi version in Mumbai, Teja Sajja remarked, “Why does nobody question when the same love story is made again and again, but the moment we try to tell a story inspired by our ‘dharma’, people start raising doubts? We should feel proud—this is our land, these are our morals. In the 3 minutes 10 seconds of the trailer, only 10 seconds show a glimpse of Lord Rama, and for that alone, questions of religion are being raised. This film is not just about that—it’s a mix of fantasy, action, adventure, superhero storytelling, and deep emotions. We’re bringing all of this together through the lens of our Indian itihasa, in a fresh and cool way, so that the younger generation can connect with it and embrace it.”

Veteran Bollywood actress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Hema Malini has added the luxury electric MPV MG M9 to her garage, escalating her foray into the EV segment.

According to posts shared online, the delivery event was intimate and festive. The video footage shows Ms. Malini removing the car cover, performing puja rituals, and exploring the vehicle’s interior. The boot (trunk) was decorated with balloons and photographs. She chose the Pearl Lustre White shade; MG also offers the model in Metal Black and Concrete Grey.

Automobile enthusiasts were surely drawn to the glimpses of Hema Malini’s MG M9, a feature-packed model that has been gaining popularity since its launch in August 2025. Notable highlights include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, 7-inch digital driver’s display, ventilated seats, dual panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger, air purifier, and a 12-speaker sound system.

In addition, the MG M9 offers 64-color ambient lighting, sunshades, rain-sensing wipers, reclining ottoman seats with eight massage modes, and three-zone climate control.

Salman Khan starrer Ek Tha Tiger to roar back to cinemas for a grand re-release

Salman Khan, one of Bollywood’s most popular stars, has delivered several major hits over the years. His 2012 action thriller Ek Tha Tiger was a huge success and went on to become a blockbuster. Now, the film is set for an exciting re-release on the big screen.

Salman Khan’s much-loved film Ek Tha Tiger is set to return to theatres with a special re-release. This gives fans a chance to revisit the action-packed entertainer on the big screen, while also offering audiences who missed it during its original run in 2012 the opportunity to experience the film in cinemas for the first time.

Ek Tha Tiger, released in 2012, was among the year’s biggest hits and marked the beginning of YRF’s Spy Universe. The film introduced audiences to Tiger, played by Salman Khan, and set the stage for the franchise. Directed by Kabir Khan, it also features Katrina Kaif in the lead, alongside Ranvir Shorey, Roshan Seth, Girish Karnad, and Gavie Chahal in supporting roles.

Apart from the re-release, Salman Khan has a busy lineup of big commercial projects.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui begins shooting for Ravi Varma’s Blind Babu

  A post shared by Zee Studios (@zeestudiosofficial)

Veteran actors Zakir Hussain, Pavan Malhotra, and Mukesh Tiwari are also expected to play pivotal roles in the film, though many details about the cast and crew remain under wraps.

In addition to this new venture, Siddiqui's film I’m Not An Actor premiered at the 14th DC South Asian Film Festival in Washington, D.C., held from September 5–7.

Sharing his thoughts on the experience, Nawazuddin had said, “The festival is a very warm, cozy festival. They’re very caring of Asian films, and it brings us joy that ours is the opening film. We are all looking forward to seeing it with audiences from Washington. For me, to see an actor who is shooting in another country, thousands of miles away, on a video call, and act with them only on the video call for 30 days was a very new experience. After some point, we forgot about the technology and only focused on the emotions.”

Siddiqui is also set to appear in Raat Akeli Hai 2. He will also be seen in the horror-comedy Thama, alongside Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, Thama marks another intriguing entry in Siddiqui’s expanding filmography.

Salman Khan starts shooting for Battle of Galwan; sports uniform and moustache look

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has dropped the first official look from his upcoming film Battle of Galwan on his Instagram as he has begun shooting for the film. The picture showcases Salman in full military regalia, rugged moustache and a fierce gaze that embodies raw patriotism.

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film revisits the harrowing 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops,  a rare border skirmish that turned deadly without any firearms being used. Instead, soldiers resorted to hand-to-hand combat with sticks and stones, making it one of the most emotionally charged stories in recent Indian history.

With its stirring subject and powerful cast, Battle of Galwan is poised to be one of the most impactful cinematic tributes to India’s armed forces in recent years.

Prajakta Koli cancels Nepal trip amid Gen Z protests and violence

Prajakta Koli is deeply affected by the growing violence and unrest in Nepal, with the disturbing visuals and reports leaving her saddened. She has chosen to cancel her planned trip to the country and expressed solidarity with those suffering from the crisis.

On Tuesday, Prajakta shared her concern and sorrow over the ongoing unrest in Nepal through an Instagram Story. In her note, she conveyed her thoughts and extended solidarity with those impacted by the situation.

Prajakta wrote, “What happened in Nepal yesterday is truly heartbreaking. Any form of celebration at such a time feels inappropriate. My heart goes out to the families of those who have suffered. I was really looking forward to being there and meeting everyone, but now isn’t the right time. Hopefully, I’ll get to see you all very soon.”

The upheaval in Nepal stems from protests led by Generation Z sparked by the government’s decision to shut down popular social media platforms for failing to register with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. This move ignited widespread anger rooted in long-standing issues of corruption, nepotism, and economic marginalization of youth.

Despite the government's efforts to reverse the social media ban, protestors remain undeterred. Several sites of authority including Parliament, the President’s Office, the Prime Minister’s residence, Supreme Court, and party headquarters have been set ablaze. A particularly tragic incident led to the death of Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, wife of former Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal. In the midst of the crisis, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has resigned, and the Nepali Army has assumed control of security operations.

In solidarity with those affected, Prajakta’s decision underscores the gravity of the situation on the ground. Her message stands as a poignant expression of empathy and restraint during a time when “any form of celebration feels inappropriate.”

Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) requests Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention to release The Bengal Files in West Bengal

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files has finally hit the big screens, standing tall as one of the boldest films ever made in Indian cinema. The narrative moves seamlessly between the past and the present, uncovering the harsh truths of Direct Action Day on 16th August 1946. While the film has been released worldwide, exhibitors in West Bengal are refraining from screening it in theatres due to political pressure. Since the film has been certified by the CBFC, the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) has requested the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, to intervene in the matter and help facilitate the release of the film in West Bengal.

The Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) has written a letter to the Honorable Prime Minister seeking his intervention for the release of The Bengal Files in West Bengal. The request has been made for urgent action to ensure the film’s release in the state. As the film has already received certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for public exhibition, it should be allowed to release in West Bengal so that the rule of law is upheld and certified works of art can be freely and safely exhibited across the country.

IMPPA has further stated that the producers and distributors are facing intimidation and obstacles, while the State Government has failed to ensure the basic safety and law-and-order environment necessary for the free and fair release of the film.

Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri took to his social media and shared the letter from IMPPA and wrote - "Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association comes out strongly in support of #TheBengalFiles and writes to @PMOIndia @narendramodi to intervene against the illegal and unconstitutional banning of the film by the West Bengal government of @MamataOfficial."

The film, presented by Tej Narayan Agarwal & I Am Buddha Productions, is part of Vivek’s Files trilogy, which includes The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files.

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra face Look Out Circular as EOW probes Rs 60.48 crores investment fraud: Reports

Businessman Raj Kundra, husband of actress Shilpa Shetty, turned 50 on September 9, 2025. However, his milestone birthday comes under a cloud as the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has summoned him in connection with a Rs 60.48 crore cheating case. According to reports, Kundra was initially directed to appear before investigators on September 10 but sought an extension. He has now been asked to appear on September 15.

In the meantime, a Look Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against both Kundra and Shetty to prevent them from leaving India. According to a report by Free Press Journal, a senior EOW official confirmed that summons have also been issued to the auditor of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) as part of the probe.

The complaint was filed by Deepak Kothari (60), Director of Lotus Capital Financial Services. He alleged that between 2015 and 2023, he invested Rs 60.48 crore in Best Deal TV Pvt. Ltd.—a company promoted by Kundra and Shetty—for business expansion.

Kothari claimed that instead of being utilized for business, the funds were siphoned off and diverted for the couple’s personal use. He said he was introduced to Kundra by a mutual acquaintance and was assured of monthly returns along with repayment of the principal investment.

At the time of investment, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra together held 87.6% shares in Best Deal TV, an online shopping and retail platform. However, Shetty resigned from the company in 2016. Kothari later discovered that insolvency proceedings had been initiated against the firm after another investor accused the promoters of fraud.

The EOW had previously summoned Shetty and Kundra three times during its preliminary inquiry. The couple, citing their stay in London, sent their attorney instead. Investigators found the information provided by the attorney inadequate, which led to the registration of a formal FIR.

The case has been filed under IPC Sections 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property), 406 (criminal breach of trust), and 34 (common intention).

While Kundra’s 50th birthday marks a personal milestone, celebrations are likely to take a backseat as the businessman prepares to face questioning by the EOW. The probe is expected to intensify in the coming days, with the LOC ensuring that neither Kundra nor Shetty can leave the country until the investigation progresses.

According to sources, “A recent wave of reports has been speculating about Nora Fatehi’s association with Ragini MMS 3.

EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger gets INTERNATIONAL honour; is the ONLY Hindi film to be featured at International Spy Museum, Washington DC, USA; Kabir Khan reacts

While travelling abroad, few moments fill us with more pride than stumbling upon a piece of India showcased on a global platform. This writer experienced one such heart-fluttering surprise at the renowned International Spy Museum in Washington DC, USA. In a special section dedicated to iconic spy films and series, around 25 international titles have been honoured. Among them shines Ek Tha Tiger, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Remarkably, it is the only Hindi film to feature on this coveted wall of fame, a rare achievement considering the hundreds of acclaimed spy films made worldwide. For Yash Raj Films’ action entertainer to secure this spot is nothing short of extraordinary.

Apart from Ek Tha Tiger, the other titles mentioned at this section of the International Spy Museum are Casino Royale, Mission Impossible, Spy Game, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Seventeen Moments Of Spring, OSS 117, G Men, The Imitation Game, Mr & Mrs Smith, Bridge Of Spies, Homeland, Alias, Fauda, The Prisoner, Get Smart, Men In Black, The Siege, Turn: Washington's Spies, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. etc.

Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Ek Tha Tiger’s director Kabir Khan on this honour. The acclaimed filmmaker said, “I didn’t have any knowledge about it and I got to know about it from the people who saw it over there. They messaged me, ‘We saw the poster of Ek Tha Tiger and it’s the only Hindi film there in the whole galaxy of films’. I found it very amusing and it was great to see Salman and Katrina’s faces on that wall!”

He observed, “Some films take a life of their own as the years pass. Ek Tha Tiger is one such film that has grown in popularity, also because it subsequently became part of the Spyverse initiated by Yash Raj. Being the first film of the universe gives it a certain exalted position. To date, I receive numerous messages about it, and they appreciate what we did at that point in time. Those were the days when we were not relying so much on VFX for action. I feel that as a filmmaker and an audience, there’s a difference when you attempt raw, real and gritty action. Too much dependence on VFX doesn’t connect.”

Kabir Khan also remarked on another factor that went in favour of Ek Tha Tiger, “It was the first film to bring out that spy genre in a big way, featuring stars like Salman and Katrina. That also helped.”

When asked when he had been getting messages about Ek Tha Tiger’s honour at the International Spy Museum, he replied, “This must have been a recent addition. The first message I got, informing me about it, was a few months ago.”

About the International Spy Museum The International Spy Museum is located in the capital of the USA, in Washington DC. It documents the tradecraft, history, and contemporary role of espionage. It holds the largest collection of international espionage artifacts on public display. As per the official website, it opened in 2002 and relocated to a new, expanded building (its present location) in 2019.

What makes a visit to the International Spy Museum worth it is that it has displayed the artifacts, articles, items etc., in a very engaging and intriguing manner. The sections of the museums focus on artefacts from North Korea, how life was in Berlin during the Cold War, what happens when spies get caught, popular real-life spies like Mata Hari, spies that changed history etc. One such section is that of secret agents in films and shows and that’s where Ek Tha Tiger is honoured.

Karan Johar’s Tyaani jewellery launches ‘Forces of Tyaani’ men’s campaign featuring Jim Sarbh

Tyaani Jewellery by Karan Johar has debuted its latest marketing initiative, named Forces of Tyaani, marking a strategic expansion into the men’s jewellery domain. The campaign enlists acclaimed actor Jim Sarbh as the campaign’s face, underlining the brand’s renewed focus on men’s fine jewellery offerings.

Historically, Tyaani has concentrated primarily on women’s jewellery. However, with this campaign, the brand seeks to reposition jewellery as a staple of everyday menswear—moving beyond traditional male accessories like belts, watches, and cufflinks. While the brand has previously offered a limited selection of men’s pieces, Forces of Tyaani marks a deliberate, elevated push to make jewellery a routine styling choice for male customers.

The campaign’s visual narrative features Jim Sarbh adorned with a long necklace and cocktail rings crafted in 18kt yellow gold, adorned with both uncut and cut diamonds and colored stones. These items blend modern and traditional design sensibilities through innovative setting techniques.

Karan Johar, the brand’s founder, commented, “Style, for me, is about self-expression—and jewellery is one of the most personal and powerful ways to define it. With this campaign, we are amplifying our men’s fine jewellery offering, making it a bold and natural part of modern style. Jim embodies that spirit perfectly—effortless, authentic, and unafraid to experiment. He makes jewellery his own, which is exactly what Tyaani stands for.”

Jim Sarbh, as the brand ambassador, shared, “I’ve always believed style should have an element of surprise, something that feels truly your own. Jewellery, for me, brings that unexpected edge—it’s bold yet effortless, personal yet versatile. What I love about Tyaani’s pieces is how naturally they slip into everyday style, while still making a statement. This campaign is about embracing that twist, that individuality, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

Currently, the campaign is live across Tyaani’s digital platforms, ushering in a fresh narrative for what men’s styling can embrace.

BREAKING: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle creates HISTORY with its advance booking; to be the FIRST Japanese film to have 5:00 am shows in India

The anime market in India is niche but also significant and this has been proved yet again by the bookings of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle. It is all set to release on Friday, September 13 and many shows are already sold out or about to get house full, astonishing the trade and industry.

The advance booking opened on Friday, September 5 and in no time, the tickets started getting sold like hot cakes. The demand is especially high for the Japanese 2D IMAX version. Looking at the response, shows as early as 5 am have been added. In the IMAX screen at Cinepolis Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, a 5:20 am show of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle will be played on the release day. Such early morning shows have become common in the post-pandemic for biggies, but this is the first time that a Japanese film has achieved this feat in India.

The IMAX at PVR Vegas Dwarka and Inox Vishal Mall in Delhi will each have a 6:40 am show while PVR Ambience Gurugram and PVR Select City Walk will play shows at 7:30 am. In Bengaluru, 6:30 am shows have been incorporated in the IMAX screens at PVR Nexus, Inox Mantri Square and Inox Galleria Mall. The earliest show in India, as of now, is at Inox Megaplex, Pune. It'll play the 5:15 am show, that is, 5 minutes before the show at Cinepolis Seawoods. With demand for tickets increasing with each passing day, many more such early morning shows are expected to be added not just in IMAX properties but also in non-IMAX theatres.

As for Friday night, PVR sold 25,000 tickets of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle, while Cinepolis had a sale of 6,000 tickets. However, in the last 24 hours, more than 65,000 tickets have been sold on the ticketing app BookMyShow. Hence, expect the Japanese anime film to take a surprising start on September 12.
