Leading the outrage, veteran filmmaker and Chief Advisor of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), Ashoke Pandit, slammed the actress for weaponizing sensitive legal provisions.

Veteran filmmaker David Dhawan’s latest directorial offering, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, has wrapped up its first two days in theatres.

Strong critical acclaim and glowing reviews do not always translate into immediate box office numbers. This holds true for master craftsman Anurag Kashyap’s latest gritty crime drama, Bandar.

The escalating controversy surrounding the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor in the rural sports drama Peddi has taken a dramatic turn. A series of unverified, leaked private chat screenshots, allegedly belonging to the actress, have gone viral across social media fan accounts. The explosive conversations offer a distressing, behind-the-scenes look at her reported discomfort with the film's filming process and specific camera angles used by the crew.

Mega Power Star Ram Charan, who is currently basking in the monumental, roaring box-office success of his latest rural sports action drama Peddi, has finally opened up about his future plans regarding the Hindi film industry.
