EXCLUSIVE: Here's why Kriti Sanon, Luv Ranjan were thanked in Param Sundari

The last release of August, Param Sundari, had a healthy opening and thanks to a good word of mouth, it managed to sustain well at the box office on weekdays. The film’s opening disclaimer had a surprise as the makers mentioned actress Kriti Sanon and producer-director Luv Ranjan of Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011), Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023) fame under ‘Special Thanks’. It made many moviegoers curious, with some even expecting Kriti to make a special appearance in the film.

However, Kriti Sanon doesn’t have a special appearance. A source explained to Bollywood Hungama why she was thanked, “As we all know, Kriti is the OG Param Sundari. There was a song by this name in her film Mimi (2011). The track got popular and made ‘Param Sundari’ a household term. Param Sundari, just like Mimi, was produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, and they decided to mention Kriti in the opening disclaimer for this connection. It was a thoughtful gesture on the part of team Maddock.”

Kriti Sanon has a long and deep association with Maddock Films. She has worked in 7 films of the production house – Raabta (2017), Luka Chuppi (2019), Arjun Patiala (2019), Mimi (2021), Hum Do Hamare Do (2021), Bhediya (2022) and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024). Recently, it came to light that she has bagged one more film of Dinesh Vijan, Cocktail 2. She’s also expected to be a part of Bhediya 2.

At the success bash of Maddock Films thrown earlier this year, a video of the popular films of the banner were shown. When Kriti Sanon came to speak, she said, “said, “How many films have I done with Maddock? I was present in every third frame shown in the reel! I have done 7 films and will be starting my eighth film with Maddock very soon.” Talking about Dinesh, she said, “He believed me when no one did. There were questions like ‘Why her?’.”

As for Luv Ranjan, the source said, “He gave some valuable inputs to the makers of Param Sundari. The film is a bit in the quirky zone, which has always been Luv’s strength. Accordingly, he provided some suggestions that the makers incorporated. Hence, they thanked him for his contribution.”

Directed by Tushar Jalota, Param Sundari stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in leading roles.

Aaliyah Kashyap calls out viewers for skipping quality films: “It’s honestly so frustrating…”

After the trailer launch of Nishaanchi which introduces Aaishvary Thackeray in his debut role, on Thursday. Aaliyah Kashyap daughter of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap used Instagram stories to express her frustration with audiences who claim to crave quality cinema but fail to support such films in theatres. She pointed to recent examples like Dhadak 2 to make her case.

She wrote, “It’s honestly so frustrating to see people CONSTANTLY say they want ‘good cinema’ but when good films actually release, hardly anyone goes to the theatre. This has been seen with so many films recently like Dhadak 2. And then years later they suddenly become cult classics or hidden gems.”

Encouraging her followers to watch Nishaanchi when it releases, she added, “My dad @anuragkashyap 10 new film Nishaanchi comes out on September 19th, and I’ve seen firsthand the amount of love, work, and heart everyone involved has poured into it. If we really want good, impactful and meaningful cinema, we can’t just appreciate it in hindsight. Great cinema doesn’t get better with time, it deserves to be seen NOW.”

In a follow-up Instagram post, Aaliyah lamented how some of Bollywood’s most critically praised films like The Lunchbox and October also underperformed at the box office despite receiving international acclaim. She stated, “And honestly this isn’t something that’s new or just happening now. Some of the most amazing and critically acclaimed Bollywood films (Udaan, Lootera, Lunchbox, Masaan, October etc.) struggled at the box office when they were released. They don’t get that support when it actually matters and when audiences don’t show up, it makes it that much harder for more films like that to get made.”

Nishaanchi, directed by Anurag, is co-written by Prasoon Mishra, Ranjan Chandel, and Anurag himself. The film showcases Aaishvary in a double role, alongside Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra in key performances. It is produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under the Jar Pictures banner, in collaboration with Flip Films.

EXCLUSIVE: Despite ‘A’ rating, CBFC asks for cuts in 23 scenes in Baaghi 4; frontal nude scene 'hidden', 'b****e' and 'fingering' replaced, 'condom' muted

Tiger Shroff has been known to do films targeted at the audiences of all ages. But with Baaghi 4, he has made an exception. It is his first ‘A’ rated film due to excessive violence and bloodshed. Sadly, despite giving the film an adult-only rating, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asked for several cuts, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned.

Baaghi 4 was certified on August 26, in time for its release worldwide on September 5. However, the Examining Committee (EC) enforced 23 visual as well as audio cuts. The scene of the hero standing on a coffin was deleted. In a scene, a character lights a cigarette from a ‘niranjan diya’ and the EC asked the makers to delete the one-second shot. Then, a scene of rubbing the hand on the hip of a girl was replaced. There's a frontal nude scene in the film, which was 'hidden' by the CBFC.

Another scene of lighting a cigarette, this time from an amputated hand, was deleted. This particular shot was 13 seconds long. A shot where a knife is thrown towards the statue of Jesus Christ was deleted. The CBFC also asked the makers to remove the 'scene of hit of fist and the leaning of the statue of Jesus'.

Apart from these visual cuts, the CBFC used its scissors in several violent scenes. At three places, the EC deleted scenes of throats being cut. The EC also axed shots of hands being cut and two shots of goons being cut and killed by swords. In a particular sequence, the scene of excessive violence, totaling 11 seconds, was deleted. Lastly, a scene of killing by inserting a sword in someone's skull was deleted.

Coming to the audio cuts, the words 'bhang b*****a' were replaced while the words 'b****e' and 'fingering' used by cops were replaced with appropriate terms. In the dialogue 'Bhai tujhe condom mein hi rehna chahiye tha', the word 'condom' was muted. Meanwhile, in the dialogue 'Tera wajood hi mit jaayega God' was replaced with 'Sab dekhte reh jayenge'. Finally, the dialogue 'Woh bhi darta hai mujhse' was deleted while 'Don khoke, ekdum ok' was muted.

Once these changes were made, Baaghi 4 was passed with an ‘A’ certificate. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 163.50 minutes. In other words, Baaghi 4 is 2 hours, 43 minutes and 50 seconds long.

3 days later, on August 29, the makers of Baaghi 4 approached the CBFC once again as they decided to further cut down the film’s length. They shortened the duration of as many as 19 scenes and removed 6 minutes and 45 seconds of the film. The final run time of the film is 157.05 minutes, that is, 2 hours, 37 minutes and 5 seconds. This is the third film in recent times to go for voluntary cuts after receiving certification, the other two being War 2 and The Bengal Files.

EXCLUSIVE: Ahan Shetty to headline India’s first horror film inspired by a national tragedy; produced by Khyati Madaan’s Not Out Entertainment and Prashant Gunjalkar

Ahan Shetty is set to headline India’s first horror film inspired by a real-life national tragedy, produced by Khyati Madaan’s Not Out Entertainment and Prashant Gunjalkar. Slated to go on floors in early 2026, the film is India’s first horror feature inspired by a real-life national tragedy.

Ahan made his mark with his debut film, Tadap (2021), a massy romantic drama produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, which made a significant impact at the box office. He will next be seen in the big-ticket film Border 2, also starring Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Varun Dhawan, scheduled for Republic Day 2026. The patriotic drama is poised to be one of the biggest theatrical spectacles of the next year.

Marking a significant shift from his current line-up, this new film places Ahan in a mass entertainer that blends horror with a powerful love story, built on a gripping thriller narrative. Positioned as India’s first horror film around a real historical tragedy, it also marks a bold tonal departure for the actor.

The title, said to be especially intriguing, will be unveiled soon. With plot and director details still under wraps, the makers are backing a massy theatrical horror experience that Hindi cinema has long been craving. The announcement of the female lead is also expected soon.

The film is produced by Khyati Madaan under her banner Not Out Entertainment and by Prashant Gunjalkar. Madaan, known for her decade-long work with studios like Red Chillies Entertainment, Disney India and Maddock Films, launched Not Out Entertainment earlier this year with a clear mission to revive theatrical Hindi cinema through genre-defining storytelling. Her slate already includes Abhootpurva, a romantic horror comedy, and a slice-of-life drama directed by acclaimed filmmaker Habib Faisal, known for directing National Award-winning Do Dooni Chaar (2010) and Ishaqzaade (2012). Gunjalkar, founder of Pals & Peers, brings decades of experience in talent management, brand collaborations, and event-led entertainment.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali faces FIR in Rajasthan: Line producer alleges fraud and misbehaviour on the sets of Love & War

Acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is facing a legal controversy after an FIR was filed against him and two members of his team in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The complaint, lodged on Monday, September 1, by line producer Prateek Taj Mathur, alleges fraud, misbehaviour, and breach of trust.

According to Circle Officer Vishal Jangid, Mathur claimed that he was hired as a line producer for Bhansali’s upcoming film Love & War, but his contract was later abruptly cancelled, revealed a PTI report. He alleged that Bhansali, along with producers Arvind Gill and Utkarsh Bali, removed him from the project without paying him, despite his taking on multiple responsibilities during production.

Mathur stated in the FIR that he had arranged all necessary resources for the shoot and coordinated with government departments as required. However, when he attempted to meet Bhansali’s team at a hotel, he was allegedly met with misbehaviour and disrespect. The FIR has been registered under charges of fraud, criminal conspiracy, and criminal intimidation, and Bichhwal SHO Govind Singh Charan is currently investigating the matter.

The FIR raises serious questions about the internal handling of production responsibilities and the professional conduct of those involved in the project. As of now, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his team have not issued a response regarding the allegations.

Love & War, directed by Bhansali, is an epic saga starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. The film reportedly features Ranbir and Vicky as Indian Air Force pilots. Several portions of the movie were recently shot in Rajasthan. As per the latest reports, it has been learnt that a visual from the film is expected to be unveiled on Ranbir Kapoor’s birthday, September 28, although it remains unconfirmed whether this will be a first look poster or a teaser featuring all three actors. The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release in March 2026.

With the FIR now registered and the investigation underway, the legal dispute has cast a shadow over the production of what is expected to be one of the most anticipated films of 2026.

John Abraham to reboot Force franchise with Force 3 — big action face-off planned

John Abraham is all set to return to one of his most loved franchises — Force. Known for his tough cop avatars and high-octane action films, the actor is gearing up to revisit the role of ACP Yashvardhan Singh in Force 3. After the success of the first two instalments, the third chapter is now officially in the works, with Bhav Dhulia, best known for Netflix’s acclaimed web series Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, stepping in as director.

According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source confirmed that the project has been greenlit and shared key details about what fans can expect. “John Abraham is rebooting the Force franchise, as he strongly believes in the character of ACP Yashvardhan Singh. He has developed a film that stays true to the ‘Desi’ elements of Force franchise and bestowed the responsibilities of direction to Bhav Dhulia,” the source revealed.

The insider also hinted at the larger vision behind the film. “Force 3 is expected to go on floors towards the end of 2025. Apart from John, the makers are looking to cast a strong name to play the negative lead of the film. The idea is to create an action face-off between two men, much like John Abraham and Vidyut Jammwal in Force,” the source added.

This revelation has already sparked excitement among fans who remember the iconic face-off between John and Vidyut in the original Force (2011), which became one of the highlights of the film. With plans for another powerful villain to go head-to-head with John, Force 3 seems to be aiming at recreating that same raw, intense energy.

Meanwhile, John Abraham has kept busy with diverse projects. He was last seen in Tehran, which premiered on ZEE5, and has been working on a high-profile biopic based on former Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria. Reports suggest that while pre-production for Force 3 begins in late 2025, John will only start shooting in the second half of 2026 once his other commitments are complete.

If the rumours are true, a trusted franchise, a fan-favorite character, and Bhav Dhulia’s sharp storytelling at the helm, Force 3 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated action blockbusters on the horizon.

Available exclusively on BookMyShow, the deal aims to make the opening day experience more accessible while ensuring that Tiger’s signature high-octane action sequences are enjoyed by packed theatres.

The Baaghi series, known for redefining Bollywood action, has consistently delivered jaw-dropping stunts, emotional storytelling, and chart-topping music. With Baaghi 4, director Ahmed Khan returns to the helm, promising even bigger action set pieces shot across international locations.

Tiger Shroff, who has become synonymous with the franchise, is joined this time by a stellar cast including Kriti Sanon and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

Diljit Dosanjh exits No Entry 2 due to schedule conflicts: Report

The eagerly awaited sequel to the 2005 comedy hit No Entry, titled No Entry 2, has encountered a significant setback. Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has exited the project, citing tight scheduling as the reason for his departure.

Initially announced as one of the three leads alongside Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, Dosanjh’s packed commitments ultimately forced him to opt out. He is set to embark on his “Aura Tour” in Australia and New Zealand from October 26 to November 13, 2025, which clashes directly with the film’s planned shooting schedule. Additionally, he has other film projects lined up during that period, leaving no room for the sequel’s production. Despite producer Boney Kapoor’s efforts to coordinate and find a mutually agreeable time, both parties decided to “part ways amicably.”

Diljit, however, has not stepped away due to the reported creative differences or the controversy surrounding Hania Amir’s casting in Sardaar 3. His departure is solely the result of irreconcilable scheduling conflicts. The Punjabi singer-actor was supposed to play one of the three leading men alongside Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor in this Anees Bazmee directorial, produced by Boney Kapoor.

A source close to the project told Peepingmoon, “Diljit’s packed touring schedule was becoming a challenge for the No Entry team. The film requires extensive planning for its massive sequel, and unfortunately, Diljit’s dates just couldn’t align. Given these constraints, both sides have amicably and mutually decided to part ways.”

With Dosanjh's departure, the team is now scouting for a replacement, a process that may delay the film's production timeline. Industry insiders suggest that securing another suitable lead at short notice may be difficult, adding to the project's uncertainty.

Director Anees Bazmee has publicly acknowledged the development with composure. “Main kabhi safaiyaan nahi deta,” he stated, dismissing speculation about creative disagreements. He emphasized, “I’m just happy that the film is getting made. There’s no bigger joy than that,” recalling that casting changes are nothing new in his experience. He expressed confidence that the audience ultimately embraces the choices made. “It’s not like I’ve always worked with my first choices. I’ve had to work with my second and even third choices. But the audience always ended up loving them.”

As the team navigates this casting transition, anticipation builds for how No Entry 2 will move forward with its ensemble now shifting course, fans await news of both a new lead and a confirmed shooting schedule.

Farhan Akhtar puts Jee Le Zaraa on hold: “I would hate to say that it is shelved”

Bollywood filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has finally spoken up about the fate of his much-anticipated road-trip drama titled Jee Le Zaraa and the news is not what fans might have feared. Despite years of silence since its big announcement, the film is not shelved, but it remains on hold.

In a recent interview on the YouTube channel Our Stupid Reactions, Farhan explained the current status candidly. “I would hate to say that it is shelved. What I will say is that it has been put on the back burner. It is a film that will happen. Again, I don't know when it will be. But it's too delicious a script and there's so much work that has already been done on it.”

He further highlighted that significant preparatory work is already complete. “I have finished all location scouts, recorded music for the film. So it's just a matter of time that we come back and do it again,” Farhan shared. When pressed about the original dream cast of Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, he offered a cautious update: “I can't comment on the cast anymore, like what that will be and when that will land. But will the film happen? Ya, it will.”

The film was officially announced in 2021 as a female-centric road-trip tale—a potential successor in spirit to Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara—led by the formidable trio of Chopra, Bhatt, and Kaif. However, coordinating their schedules has proved a persistent challenge behind the scenes.

Previously, Alia Bhatt had voiced optimism about the project’s viability, acknowledging the logistical hurdles. In an earlier conversation with The Lallantop, she said, “Definitely hogi (It will happen). It's a film that everybody, actors, producers, directors, wants to make,” though she admitted, “logistically, kaafi difficult ho raha tha to get all the dates together.”

Meanwhile, Farhan has shifted his focus to other projects. He’s currently deep into promotion for 120 Bahadur, portraying the valorous Major Shaitan Singh Bhati in a film inspired by the heroic 1962 Battle of Rezang La. At the same time, he’s preparing for Don 3, which will star Ranveer Singh in the lead.

Manoj Bajpayee reunites with Ram Gopal Varma after 30 years for horror comedy Police Station Mein Bhoot

Bollywood’s powerhouse performer Manoj Bajpayee is set to step into the rarely chartered territory, this time with a horror comedy. The actor has teamed up with filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma for a new project titled Police Station Mein Bhoot. The announcement came on Monday, September 1, when the makers unveiled a motion poster featuring Bajpayee in a chilling new avatar.

The poster shows the actor dressed as a cop in full uniform, holding a creepy ragged doll smeared with mud and blood, its oversized eyes adding to the eerie vibe. The intense imagery instantly caught fans’ attention, setting the stage for what promises to be a unique blend of scares and laughs.

Sharing the poster on X (formerly Twitter), Bajpayee wrote, “#PoliceStationMeinBhoot SHOOT BEGINS. From Satya to now… some journeys are meant to come full circle. Thrilled to reunite with @RGVzoomIn after nearly three decades for our new horror comedy Police Station Mein Bhoot. This one is special. @geneliad @VauveEmirates @KarmaMediaEnt #uentertainment #PoliceStationMeinBhootMovie.”

The post instantly went viral, not only because of Bajpayee’s striking look but also because of the long-awaited reunion between him and Ram Gopal Varma. Their collaboration dates back to the iconic 1998 gangster drama Satya, which catapulted Bajpayee to fame with his unforgettable role as Bhiku Mhatre. Now, nearly three decades later, the duo is set to explore an entirely different genre together.

Adding to the excitement is the presence of Genelia Deshmukh (formerly D’Souza), who is expected to play a key role in the film. Genelia was last seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, and her return to the big screen in a quirky horror comedy alongside Bajpayee has already generated significant buzz.

#PoliceStationMeinBhoot SHOOT BEGINS ????

From Satya to now… some journeys are meant to come full circle. Thrilled to reunite with @RGVzoomIn after nearly three decades for our new horror comedy Police Station Mein Bhoot. This one is special.@geneliad @VauveEmirates… pic.twitter.com/a6rtwZuor1

— manoj bajpayee (@BajpayeeManoj) September 1, 2025

Police Station Mein Bhoot is being produced by Vauve Emirates Media Production and Karma Media and Entertainment. While details about the storyline remain under wraps, the motion poster and title hint at a spooky yet humorous ride that will blend horror tropes with laugh-out-loud moments.

Speaking about the project, Ram Gopal Varma said, “Working with Manoj again after Satya is both nostalgic and thrilling. Fear becomes most frightening when it challenges the highest authority of safety, and a police station is the ultimate symbol of power. With Manoj’s intensity and Genelia’s vulnerability, this story will push boundaries of how we perceive horror in the guise of authority.”

Meanwhile, Manoj Bajpayee continues his prolific run in 2025. The actor is also gearing up for the release of Netflix’s Inspector Zende on September 5, where he stars alongside Jim Sarbh. And now, with his reunion with Ram Gopal Varma and the addition of Genelia to the cast, Police Station Mein Bhoot has already become one of the most anticipated films of the year.
