Thalapathy Vijay Jana Nayagan continues to be delayed
Thalapathy Vijay’s highly anticipated final film, Jana Nayagan, is now looking at a May 2026 release after a series of persistent censor hurdles and legal battles. Originally slated for a grand Pongal opening in January, the film’s journey to the big screen has been stalled by a standoff with the Central Board of Film Certification. The delay stems from the CBFC’s decision to refer the film to a revising committee due to concerns over specific dialogues related to religious sentiments and the Indian Army. While the makers, KVN Productions, initially sought relief from the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court, they recently withdrew their writ petition on February 10th to cooperate with the board’s official review process. But the review team is yet to watch the film and speculations of team watching the film on 20th February are also being dismissed. Hence, the movie is looking at release in May or June, only. Already, Industry insiders and international distributors, are stating that the movie won't release before April 30, 2026. The shift to May is also strategically timed to avoid the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections scheduled for March and April, as the Election Commission often monitors high-profile political films for content that could influence voters. With director H. Vinoth at the helm, Jana Nayagan is viewed as Vijay’s cinematic swan song before his full-time entry into politics. Fans now eagerly await the revising committee's clearance for what is expected to be a massive summer blockbuster.

Now, Bollywood celebrities are showcasing a significant show of solidarity have stepped forward to support actor Rajpal Yadav during his ongoing financial and legal crisis. A-list stars including Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn have reportedly extended financial assistance to help him clear his liabilities. His manager recently confirmed that these actors, along with others like Varun Dhawan and director David Dhawan, reached out to commit their support, emphasizing that the industry is standing by him like a rock in this difficult time. The wave of support began after Sonu Sood publicly appealed to the fraternity, offering Rajpal a role in his upcoming film along with a signing amount to help him maintain his dignity. Since then, the circle of aid has expanded significantly, with music producer Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav pledging a substantial contribution of 1.11 crore and politician Tej Pratap Yadav offering 11 lakh. Other celebrities, including Guru Randhawa and Gurmeet Choudhary, have also joined the cause.

Prakash Raj replaces Akshaye Khanna in Drishyam 3?
Prakash Raj revealed that he joined Drishyam 3 Hindi film and he is happy to be part of it. There have been reports about Akshaye Khanna have asked for huge remuneration and hence, the makers could not afford him and had to search for a replacement. Now, Prakash Raj has joined the sets and started shooting. He confirmed the update on his X, "Started shooting for this engaging franchise #Drishyam3 in hindi. With a wonderful team and a scintillating role to play . Im sure you will love it ( and yes im not replacing anyone..)." He also made a tongue-in-cheek comment about not replacing anyone but being a part of the film. Had he just stated that he joined the film, it would have been simple update but has he stated he is not replacing, it raises the doubt. Malayalam version of Drishyam 3 makers have halted Hindi version shoot until they complete shoot and hence, Akshaye Khanna became unavilable post Dhurandhar success. Currently, Mohanlal's Drishayam 3 will release for Summer and immediately, Hindi version will also release with Ajay Devgn in the leading role. But Telugu version with Venkatesh seems to have been dropped as the actor is busy with Trivikram Srinivas film, Adarsha Kutumbam.

After Republic Day Sunny Deol back for Independence Day
Aamir Khan is producing Sunny Deol's Lahore 1947 in the direction of Rajkumar Santhoshi. The movie shoot started last year after Aamir loved the script and wanted to take it to sets. He might appear in a cameo or not in the movie but he locked Independence Day weekend following Sunny Deol's recent form. His Gaddar 2 became a huge blockbuster announcing his big comeback and pushing Aamir Khan to produce the film. The movie released for Independence Day weekend and became Rs.500 crore grosser. Recently, for this year's Republic Day his long awaited Border 2 released and managed to collect good amount. So, Lahore 1947 movie releasing for Independence Weekend will be a testament for his recent form. Aamir Khan as a producer did not find success at the box office and he is looking for this one to be a big blockbuster. Rajkumar Santhoshi and Sunny Deol combination has been huge in 90's and we have to see if they can deliver similarly or not.

Hrithik Roshan Krrish 4 stalled again with budget issues?
The long-anticipated return of India’s favorite superhero has hit a significant financial roadblock, leaving fans in a state of uncertainty. Despite the massive excitement surrounding Krrish 4, recent reports suggest that the project has been placed on the back burner due to a major budgetary disagreement between Hrithik Roshan and producer Aditya Chopra. While Hrithik envisions a grand, high-octane spectacle with a massive budget of approximately ₹500 crore to meet modern global standards, Yash Raj Films is reportedly hesitant, preferring to cap the investment at ₹350 crore to ensure financial viability. This creative and commercial deadlock has led to a temporary pause in pre-production. Ever the professional, Hrithik is said to be taking the feedback constructively and is currently reworking the script to better align with practical constraints. In the meantime, the actor is also exploring potential collaborations with other major studios that might be willing to fund his ambitious vision. Consequently, the film’s timeline has shifted, with a likely release now pushed to 2027. Fans will have to wait a while longer for an official announcement as Hrithik prepares to pivot toward another surprise project before donning the iconic mask once again Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.

Dhurandhar 2 Trailer: Ranveer Singh in Menacing Avatar
The wait is finally over, and the atmosphere is thick with anticipation as the first official look at the next chapter of this gritty saga has arrived. After the massive waves created by its predecessor, the pressure was on to see if the follow-up could maintain that same raw, grounded energy. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the new footage suggests that the stakes haven't just been raised—they’ve been completely redefined. There is a palpable sense of menace in every frame, trading the slow-burn infiltration of the past for something far more aggressive and chaotic. The visual palette has shifted into a deeper, more atmospheric tone, dominated by shadows and a recurring crimson hue that feels like a warning of the storm to come. Ranveer Singh’s transformation is the most striking element; there’s a coldness in the eyes and a rugged intensity in the posture that tells us the protagonist we once knew has evolved into something much more dangerous. The powerhouse supporting cast, including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna, anchor the tension, while Sara Arjun adds a layer of emotional stakes to the brewing storm. While the previous installment felt like a chess game played in the dark, this glimpse hints at a full-scale collision where the lines between the hunter and the hunted are almost entirely blurred. The sonic landscape, crafted by Shashwat Sachdev, complements this shift perfectly, replacing standard beats with a jarring, immersive score that heightens the sense of unease. True to the director’s signature style, the action looks visceral and uncomfortably real, avoiding the glossy polish of typical blockbusters for a more bone-crunching, authentic feel. It’s clear that the narrative is diving into the darker, more personal corners of this world, focusing on the psychological toll of a life lived in the shadows. Even without the full context of the plot, the sheer mood of the footage is enough to stir that familiar fire of excitement. It’s a bold, unapologetic invitation back into a world where mercy is a luxury and revenge is the only currency left.

Rohit Shetty Firing Case: Lawrence Bishnoi gang involved
In a chilling escalation of gang-related threats against the film industry, the quiet of Juhu’s Road Number 10 was shattered in the early hours of Sunday, February 1st, as unidentified assailants opened fire at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence. The incident occurred around 12:45 AM at Shetty Towers, where the director was reportedly resting on the seventh floor. A lone shooter, clad in a black jacket and white trousers, fired five rounds from a pistol-like firearm near the compound wall. While the bullets struck the first-floor walls and shattered a glass pane in the building’s gym, Rohit Shetty narrowly escaped injury. The investigation moved at lightning speed, leading to the detention of five suspects in Pune just hours after the attack. Identified as Aman Marote, Aditya Gayaki, Siddharth Yenpure, Samarth Pomaji, and Swapnil Sakat, the group includes daily-wage laborers and drivers with no prior criminal records. However, Mumbai Police have uncovered a sophisticated network behind the logistics. The shooter reached the spot on a Honda Dio scooter, which was purchased just days earlier from Pune and left at a pre-arranged location in Juhu under the direct instructions of Shubham Lonkar, a key associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang also linked to the Baba Siddique murder. The Bishnoi gang has since taken responsibility for the attack via a viral social media post, describing it as a "trailer" and warning Shetty to stop "interfering" in their work. The message specifically cited the filmmaker's recent presence at events alongside former police commissioner Rakesh Maria as a point of contention. In response, a massive two-tier security blanket has been thrown over Shetty and his upcoming projects. Nearly 60 security personnel will now guard the sets of his next film, Golmaal 5, while production on his Rakesh Maria biopic has been temporarily stalled to reassess safety protocols.

Kamal Haasan gives memorable tribute to Mahatma Gandhi
In a profound tribute to the Father of the Nation, legendary actor Kamal Haasan released Lead on Gandhi to mark Martyr's Day. This documentary serves as a vital bridge between history and the complexities of the modern world, offering a deeply reflective look at Gandhian philosophy. By collaborating with Gopal Krishna Gandhi, Haasan provides a narrative that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant, grounding the film in the ethical foundations that defined India’s freedom struggle. The documentary employs a unique storytelling perspective by tracing the journey of the bullet used in the assassination across various continents. This serves as a metaphor for the global spread of violence, contrasting sharply with the peaceful ideals Gandhi championed at Birla House. Through this lens, the film challenges the audience to look inward and evaluate the moral direction of contemporary society. It questions whether we are moving away from the courage and integrity that were once the hallmarks of our national identity. Ultimately, Lead on Gandhi is an urgent call to action, reminding viewers that non-violence is an active and demanding choice rather than a passive stance. Kamal Haasan emphasizes that the strength to love and seek truth is the greatest form of bravery. Released on a day of national remembrance, the film acts as a guardian of Gandhi’s legacy, warning that his ideas only disappear if we choose to remain indifferent. It positions Gandhi not just as a figure of the past, but as an essential moral guide for our collective future.

Dhurandar releases on OTT but not uncut version
Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal and Sanjay Dutt starrer Aditya Dhar’s espionage epic Dhurandhar released on Netflix, today. The film had recently etched its name in history as the first Hindi film to gross over ₹1000 crore net domestically. Following a monstrous 56-day theatrical run that saw Ranveer Singh return to his peak form, the film transitioned to the small screen at midnight. However, the OTT premiere has sparked immediate social media outrage rather than just celebration. While audiences were eagerly awaiting an "Uncut" version of the 214-minute theatrical cut, the streaming version has arrived with a shorter runtime of approximately 205 minutes. Reports of muted dialogues and trimmed action sequences have left fans fuming, with many questioning why an "A" rated film faces such heavy-handed censorship on a digital platform. Despite the backlash over the edits, the film is already trending at the top of the charts. This digital release serves as the final countdown for the sequel, Dhurandhar 2, which is slated for an Eid 2026 release. With the teaser expected to drop tomorrow, the hype remains at an all-time high, even as the "censorship vs. creative freedom" debate continues to dominate the discourse.
