After delivering Bollywood’s biggest hit with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Aditya Dhar has started preparing for his next. According to an exclusive report in Pink Villa, the director has cracked a fresh idea and has begun working on developing the full script. The project is likely to go on floors by March 2027.

Ranveer Singh is the frontrunner for this flick, which will be set in the larger-than-life space. The casting isn’t confirmed yet at this stage, but Dhar seems to be more interested in reuniting with the gem of an actor once again.

If the actor-director combo materializes, it will be one of the most-anticipated films not just in Bollywood but also in Indian cinema especially after the kind of impact the Dhurandhar franchise has made.

For the past couple of days, a rumor has been widely circulating online that Anil Ravipudi’s next film with Victory Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram is out of the Sankranthi 2027 race. The news quickly went viral, prompting the makers to finally respond.

The team has now clarified that there is no truth to these rumors and that the film is very much on track for a Sankranthi 2027 release. They also confirmed that the pooja ceremony will take place soon, while script work is currently in progress.

The shoot is expected to begin shortly. Krithi Shetty has been locked in as the female lead. More details will be announced soon.

The shoot of Salman Khan and Vamsi Paidipally’s new film recently began in Mumbai. The recent update reveals that legendary comedian Rajpal Yadav has joined the sets for a key role.

A report in Bollywood Hungama mentioned, “Salman Khan has cast Rajpal Yadav to play a key role in this action-packed entertainer. Rajpal will be playing Salman Khan’s right hand in the film and will share a strong dynamic bond throughout the story. It’s one of the most important characters, and the casting has happened on merit. Salman is very fond of Rajpal and feels that he fits the bill to the T for his particular part.”

A few days ago, Salman extended his support to Rajpal Yadav, who has been going through a financial crisis. The star’s latest act is winning hearts online. The movie starring Nayanthara as the leading lady will hit the big screens during Eid 2027. Dil Raju is the producer.

Tharun Bhascker’s satirical entertainer Gaayapadda Simham has completed its censor formalities and received a U/A certificate ahead of its release on May 1. The film is directed by Kashyap Sreenivas, a debutant.

Gaayapadda Simham is based on Donald Trump’s deportation policies, and the makers promise the film will tickle the funny bones throughout. Manasa Choudhary and Faria Abdullah played the female leads. JD Chakravarthy will be seen as the antagonist.

The movie is jointly produced by Kalyana Chakravarthy Manthina, Bhanu Kiran Pratapa, Vijay Krishna Lingamaneni, and Umesh Bansal under the banners of Saptaswa Media Works, POV Stories, and Zee Studios.
