Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s upcoming movie Bhool Chuk Maaf reportedly gets a new release date after its theatrical stint was cancelled, and it took the OTT route in the wake of the India-Pakistan conflict. For those unversed, the Bombay High Court granted an ad-interim injunction halting Maddock Films from releasing it on Amazon Prime Video on May 16. The decision came after PVR Inox approached the court seeking Rs 60 crore in damages due to breach of contract. Bhool Chuk Maaf gets a new release date According to a report by Pinkvilla, Bhool Chuk Maaf will release in cinemas on May 23, followed by an OTT release on June 6. A source informed the entertainment portal that the court passed its order in the case, and makers will resume promotional activities from May 15.

The film, which was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on May 9, 2025, was set to premiere directly on Amazon Prime Video on May 16, 2025. Maddock Films said, “In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16, only on Prime Video, worldwide. While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theaters, the spirit of the nation comes first.

14 May,2025 08:04 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentThe Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has appealed to Indian film producers to reconsider choosing Turkey as a shooting destination, citing Turkey's growing support for Pakistan on matters affecting India's national interests. Following Turkey's support to Pakistan in attacks against India, FWICE has adhere to its belief of "Nation Comes first".FWICE has always stood firm in its belief that "Nation Comes First." Bollywood films shot in Turkey In the past some of the big Bollywood projects have shot in Turkey which has boosted the country's tourism prompting several Indians to consider Turkey as a travel option. Here are some of the Bollywood films that were shot in Turkey: Ek Tha Tiger (2013)- Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer directed by Kabir Khan had some elaborate chase sequences in Istanbul and showed the beauty of the country. Race 2 (2015)- The lavish heist film starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Jacqueliene Fernandes also had some sequences shot in Turkey. Baby (2015)- This Akshay Kumar thriller used Istanbul’s urban setting for its intense spy narrative. Several action scenes were filmed in Turkish alleys and markets. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)- Some of the romantic and song sequences were shot in Turkey, especially in scenic Antalya with its Mediterranean charm. Guru (2007)-Though primarily shot in India, parts of the film that show Guru’s rise as a businessman were filmed in Istanbul to portray international locations. Dil Dhadakne Do (2015)- While the movie is set on a cruise through Europe, scenes in Istanbul’s port and skyline were featured as part of the Mehra family’s lavish journey. Laal Singh Chaddha (2021)- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic halting production in India, Aamir Khan and his team resumed shooting in Turkey to complete the film. Key locations included Mount Demirkazık in the Niğde province, Istanbul, and Adana . During his stay, Aamir Khan also met with Turkey's First Lady, Emine Erdoğan, at the Huber Mansion in Istanbul . FWICE urges to not shoot in Turkey The Federation wrote, "In view of recent developments and Turkey's consistent positioning in support of Pakistan, which has raised concerns regarding national integrity and security, we believe it is not in the best interests of the Indian film industry to invest or collaborate in any form that could indirectly support or benefit such a nation. Turkey's stance has been noted not only diplomatically but also in numerous international forums, where it has taken stances that contradict India's sovereign interests. Turkey's stance has been observed not just diplomatically but also in various international forums, where it has taken positions contrary to India's sovereign interests. As an industry deeply rooted in Indian soil and culture, we cannot remain indifferent to actions that undermine our nation's dignity or security." "We therefore appeal to all production houses, line producers, actors, directors, and crew members across the Indian film fraternity to stand in solidarity with the nation and boycott Turkey as a location for film shoots until such time that the country revisits its diplomatic stance and aligns with principles of mutual respect and non-interference," according to the press release Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), Ashoke Dubey, has called for a complete ban on Pakistani artists from working in India. This comes after a deadly terrorist attack that took place in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22. Tensions between India and Pakistan have risen sharply since the attack.
14 May,2025 07:26 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActor Tusshar Kapoor is gearing up for his upcoming movie ‘Kapkapiii’, a horror comedy drama co-starring Shreyas Talpade. At the trailer launch event of the film on Wednesday, the actor spoke about why he thinks it is good to release the film amid India-Pakistan tension. He was asked about it as many filmmakers and creators have announced delay in release of their projects owing to tension at border areas. Tusshar on films releasing in theatres The actor spoke with IANS, when asked if it’s the right time to release the film in theatres as the nation is facing an external threat from its neighbour. He told, “I think every film has its own destiny, every film has its own quality. Genres, especially the genre of horror comedy is outstanding right now It's a blockbuster genre So, the phase that's going on right now, I think people want to see more horror comedies but the film should be good the film should look exciting and this film has all that I think our audiences would like to see in the theatre on a Friday," said that he doesn’t have adequate information to furnish any comment on the ongoing issue around Turkey and Azerbaijan supporting Pakistan in the wake of recent skirmish between India and Pakistan. Tusshar on issues with Turkey and Azerbaijan In the follow-up to the Operation Sindoor launched by India, Turkey came out strongly in support of Pakistan, and also gave military aid to Pakistan in the form of Asisguard Songar drones, which were intercepted by the Indian air-defense system. The Turkish warship TCG BYKADA was also reported to have docked at the Karachi port amidst the tension. Indians have called for a complete boycott of tourism to these countries. When he was probed about the Turkey and Azerbaijan dispute, he said, “I don't have all the information about who is supporting whom but all I will say is that we are abiding by the rules and the regulations of the authorities. According to that, the theatres are open and the films are running which means people are feeling safe and that confidence is coming from our very strong and resilient government”. “The month of May is the month of holidays for children and colleges and schools and youngsters. So, in a time wherein things are normalized and relaxed we should go and watch movies. I am not in a position to answer those questions because I don't have the adequate information”, he added. About Kapkapii trailer The trailer opens with a gang of quirky friends dabbling in the dark arts with an Ouija board, unknowingly unleashing a string of bizarre, spine-tingling events. But instead of doom and gloom, what follows is an uproarious chain of ghostly gags, possessed antics, and laugh-out-loud chaos. Ghosts groan, lights flicker, and screams mix with chuckles in this supernatural circus that wears its tagline—"Aatma Ji darshan do na"—like a badge of honor. Since its release, the trailer has been met with an enthusiastic response from fans and viewers alike. Audiences are particularly loving the electric comic chemistry between Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade, whose on-screen camaraderie brings a nostalgic charm and perfect timing to the chaos. Their dynamic adds an extra layer of fun to the spooky spectacle, making Kapkapiii one of the most anticipated entertainers of the season. Blending comedy with eerie horror, Kapkapiii delivers a wildly entertaining glimpse into a haunted house of horrors... with a funny bone. It’s spooky, silly, and absolutely off-the-wall.

The Kashmir Files maker claimed that Kashyap was drunk during the making of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal and would cause ruckus on set. However, Kashyap called him a liar and said that he was never on set during the shoot of the film. Anurag Kashyap slams Vivek Agnihotri On Wednesday, Anurag took to the Stories section of his Instagram, and shared an interview in which Vivek called him a drunkard and an irresponsible artiste. Pointing his guns at Vivek, Anurag wrote, “Kitna jhootha hai ye aadmi. Shooting London mein hui thi (This man is such a liar. The shooting of the film took place in London). I was in india. He didn't want the script by motwane or me. He wanted to make Lagaan of football and took his own writer to write that crappy script. Neither me nor @motwayne Went on the set ever. Stop posturing @vivekagnihotri (sic)” The film in question is ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’, which starred John Abraham and Arshad Warsi. While Anurag is credited as the dialogue writer in the film along with Rohit Malhotra, Vikramaditya Motwane has penned the screenplay for the film. Rohit shares the credit for screenplay and dialogues. Vikramaditya Motwane also re-shared Kashyap's Instagram story indicating that he agrees with him. What did Vivek Agnihotri say A week ago, in an interview with Digital Commentary, Vivek claimed Anurag’s drinking habits made working environment on Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal challenging. "Anurag uss time bahut sharab peeta tha toh usko time ka koi hisaab nahi tha (Anurag used to drink a lot at that time and had no sense of time). Phir voh Vikramaditya Motwane ko le aaye, bola mera RK ladka hai, vo help karega. Dheere dheere saara kaam Vikramaditya ko hi de diya. Main jo banana chah raha tha, yeh log ki soch kuch alag thi, yeh kuch aur hi banana chah rahe the (Then he brought Vikramaditya Motwane, saying ‘he’s my RK boy, he’ll help out.’ Gradually, all the work was handed over to Vikramaditya. What I wanted to make was different; their vision was entirely something else). Ultimately, we were at loggerheads. The production house had a word with Anurag… Anurag ko handle karna mushkil ho gaya (It became difficult to handle Anurag). Because only an alcoholic knows what an alcoholic goes through. It became a very big problem.”

14 May,2025 05:14 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActor Ahan Shetty, son of Bollywood’s fitness icon Suniel Shetty, is all set to step into the combat boots for Border 2, the sequel to the iconic 1997 film. At 29, Ahan is aware that comparisons to his father, who starred in the original, are inevitable. That’s precisely why his preparation—both physical and mental—has been nothing short of disciplined. “Fitness has been a lifelong journey for me,” says Ahan. “Since I was a kid, I’ve been into sports—volleyball, football, cricket, swimming, and mixed martial arts. As I grew older, I transitioned to gym training to build muscle for films.” While he made his acting debut in 2021 with a romantic drama, Tadap, he now has a role of a lifetime that demands military grit. For this he has been pushing his limits. “I had put on quite a bit of weight for Sanki, which was Sajid [Nadiadwala] sir’s film. So for the role that I’m playing in Border 2, I had to cut down around eight kilos,” he reveals. “There are certain regimens that I’m following for my character like training in the gym, and keeping my cardio going. My training is going on full swing as I have to lose weight for it and maintain my muscle at the same time.” With his father, one of Bollywood’s fittest stars, Ahan finds inspiration right at home as well as easy tips to follow. “He has been my inspiration in terms of fitness. He mainly gives me tips on my diet. He says my diet has to be on point. So I try and really focus on it, especially now that I am prepping for Border 2. I am watching my diet, training and recovery,” he shares. Ahan’s fitness regime is intense. He trains six days a week in the gym and supplements it with mobility and stretching sessions twice a week. “I play football, and sometimes cricket too. So, I’m physically active every day.” The Cheats Sophie Choudry What’s your cheat meal?A nice big Chinese lunch with dim sum, peking duck and pancakes, chilli prawns and spicy rice.

Watching everyone take him in, I could feel how meaningful it was. He greeted us all with such love and genuine excitement about what we’ve been building. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to see a project—beloved by millions—being reimagined as a musical 30 years later. And yet, he kept asking to see more!

He met and engaged with every single person after watching the rehearsals and even re-lived his musical-theatre experiences from his early days. It’s safe to say our cast and ensemble will always treasure their time with him. We’re all hoping he makes it to Manchester to watch the show truly take wing at the magnificent Palace Opera House.” Sheykhar Ravjiani added, “Mr. Shah Rukh Khan’s visit on the sets of Come Fall In Love was a surprise that I think the entire cast and crew will cherish forever! His aura and sheer presence aside, meeting the original ‘Raj’ was an absolute delight for all of them. Theatre holds a very special place for Mr Shah Rukh Khan as his career began there and every member of the cast and crew could feel his pure love for theatre and the craft. The experience of meeting him and interacting with him is a moment that will be etched in their hearts forever.” About the DDLJ Musical Come Fall in Love – The DDLJ Musical makes its UK premiere at Manchester Opera House on Thursday, 29 May 2025 and runs until Saturday 21 June 2025.

On Sunday, Harshvardhan gave a solid rebuttal to his ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ co-actor Mawra after her recent statement which directly was targeted against the Indian actor.. She had said, “Someone I expected to have basic common sense has risen from deep slumber with a PR strategy. While our nations are at war, this is what you come up with? A PR statement to get attention? What a pity”. In his response, the actor seemed very measured yet pointed.

Fortunately, I have tolerance to overlook such attempts - but have zero tolerance for any attack on my nation's dignity.

The actor further mentioned that he merely said anything that would offend the actress, and he was well within his rights to decline a project that he doesn’t deem correct to be a part of under certain situations.

On Tuesday, the actor took to his Instagram, and shared pictures of the men and the women in uniform. While the first picture is of a brave soldier from one of India’s elite forces taking blessings from Lord Hanuman, the second picture is of Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, who gave precise briefing during Operation Sindoor, India’s counter-terror operation after the Pahalgam attacks in April. Vicky also penned a long note in the caption, as he expressed his gratitude to the soldiers, who protect India. He wrote, “The way to peace is through strength. Saluting the unmatched bravery and precision of our Indian Armed Forces. No words can ever describe the gratitude and pride we feel in our hearts for our true heroes. We exist of you. Jai Hind”. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vicky Kaushal (@vickykaushal09) India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7, when it carried out precision strikes inside the territory of Pakistan, which is notorious for harbouring terrorism. The strikes were carried out at 9 sites in Pakistan and targeted key terror infrastructures killing close to 100 terrorists. In the following days, tensions between India and Pakistan escalated as the latter sent in surveillance drones, and also allegedly fired a Fatah missile in addition to the Chinese made PL-15. India’s air-defence system consisting of the Russian S-400 engaged with the drones, missiles and other air-borne threats successfully neutralising all of them. Pakistan’s Mirage aircraft was also shot down by the Indian forces. Mirage aircrafts are made by the same French company Dassault Aviation, which makes French Rafale jets. Currently, India has put up a tough stand after the recent skirmishes with Pakistan, and has declared that any future terror attacks sponsored by Pakistan will be an act of war.
