Producer Boney Kapoor announced exciting news at the IIFA 2025 awards! He revealed that he is planning to make a sequel to his late wife Sridevi’s last movie, Mom, and wants his daughter, Khushi Kapoor, to star in it. Speaking on the green carpet, Boney said he loves both his daughters, Khushi and Janhvi, and they are working hard to reach the same level of greatness as their mother did in acting.

Boney talked about Khushi’s recent films like Archies, Loveyappa, and Nadaaniyaan, saying he has watched them all. He is looking forward to creating a film with her after his project No Entry, and hinted it could be called Mom 2. He believes Khushi and Janhvi can achieve the same level of success as Sridevi.

Mom, which came out in 2017, featured Sridevi and earned her the Best Actress National Award after she sadly passed away.

Boney also shared that he is working on a follow-up to his hit comedy No Entry, which was very successful when it was released in 2005. He mentioned that they are still choosing actresses for the new film, and they will announce the stars once everything is finalized.

At the IIFA awards, which took place on March 9, the digital awards earlier in March saw wins for stars like Kriti Sanon and shows like Panchayat Season 3. The event also included a special tribute to the classic film Sholay.

Did you know that Aamir Khan had a chance to star in the films Darr and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, but he decided not to? This choice ended up benefiting Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. At the trailer launch for Aamir Khan: Cinema Ka Jadugar in Mumbai on Sunday, Aamir talked about these past opportunities.

When asked which films he regret not taking, Aamir shared about Darr. He explained, “I was supposed to do Darr, but didn’t for some reasons, not related to creativity. Looking back, I think it worked out for the best because Shah Rukh fit the role better. If I had done it, everything might have turned out differently. I don’t really regret it since the film was great and successful. I just wasn’t the right match for it.”

Then someone in the audience reminded him about Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Aamir replied, “Oh yes! I heard the script and thought it would be better for Salman Khan. I liked the story but suggested that they show it to him instead. The writer didn’t go to Salman right away but went to Kabir Khan first, who then approached Salman.”

Aamir also mentioned Munna Bhai, saying that the director, Raju, wanted him in the film, but things changed, making it more of a sequel.

About the Films
Darr, released in 1993 and directed by Yash Chopra, became a breakthrough for Shah Rukh Khan, who was fairly new in Bollywood. He played an obsessed lover and received praises for his performance.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan, directed by Kabir Khan and released in 2015, was a huge hit. It starred Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and it tells the touching story of a man from Delhi helping a lost Pakistani girl find her way back home.

On March 14, movie star Aamir Khan turned 60, and to celebrate, PVR INOX announced a special film festival called “Aamir Khan: Cinema Ka Jadugar.” This festival honors Aamir’s incredible work in Indian movies. The trailer for the festival was launched with special guest Javed Akhtar, a famous songwriter and screenwriter.

At the event, Aamir shared a funny story about how Javed advised him against taking on some of his biggest hits. For example, when Aamir was cast in the movie “Lagaan,” Javed told him, “What are you doing? The hero can’t wear a dhoti! How can a hero be in a period film?” Despite Javed’s doubts, Aamir decided to go ahead, and “Lagaan” became a huge success when it came out in 2001. It even got nominated for an Oscar!

Aamir also mentioned that Javed warned him about the movie “Rang De Basanti.” Javed said, “The hero isn’t even in the climax! How will it work?” But Aamir believes in putting the story first and making every film great, even if it means not being the center of attention.

“Rang De Basanti,” released in 2006, became popular and won many awards. The special film festival celebrating Aamir’s legacy will start on his birthday, March 14, and go until March 27.

Last Sunday, Sean Baker’s movie “Anora,” a funny yet sad story about a young woman who turns to sex work and marries the son of a Russian oligarch, took home the biggest awards at the 97th Academy Awards. It won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing. The only award it didn’t win was Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Yura Borisov. Some think he could have won if it weren’t for Kieran Culkin’s strong performance in “A Real Pain,” but that led to some question about fairness in the acting categories.

How did “Anora” become the favorite this award season? Surprisingly, it didn’t win anything at the 2025 Golden Globes, despite having five nominations. This year’s awards season was quite chaotic, with much drama on social media that affected many films’ chances.

One big issue surrounded the film “Emilia Pérez,” directed by Jacques Audiard. This Spanish-language musical drama had stars like Karla Sofía Gascón and Selena Gomez. The movie faced criticism in Mexico for making fun of its history and misrepresenting a transgender character. Things got worse when old tweets from Gascón about sensitive topics such as George Floyd and diversity at the Oscars resurfaced, causing social media outrage. Gascón issued an apology and even deleted her social media account. “Emilia Pérez” started strong with four Golden Globe wins but stumbled after the backlash, and on Oscar night, it missed out on the Best International Feature award.

On a brighter note, Brazil celebrated when the film “I’m Still Here” won big. Directed by Walter Salles, this film tells the story of a woman during Brazil’s military dictatorship. The audience loved it, and actress Fernanda Torres’s outstanding performance led to her winning a Golden Globe, which helped her get nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars.

It made me ponder why Indian films haven’t reached that level of public celebration yet. This year, Payal Kapadia’s film “All We Imagine As Light” had a good shot but didn’t even make the top choice for nominations.

Another major controversy was linked to the film “The Brutalist,” directed by Brady Corbet. This over-three-hour film was expected to win Best Director but faced criticism when it was revealed that they used artificial intelligence to change the actors’ accents. Even though Adrien Brody still won Best Actor, Corbet lost to Sean Baker.

“Anora” gained momentum with a surprise win at the Critics Choice Awards for Best Film and won multiple guild awards along the way. It was the only film in recent years to win Best Director and Best Picture at the same time as the Directors Guild and Producers Guild.

Despite some drama surrounding a comment by actress Mikey Madison about there not being an intimacy coordinator during filming, “Anora” made a strong impression with clever marketing from its distributor Neon. They invested an impressive $18 million promoting a film that only cost $6 million to make, with many newcomers in the cast.

“Anora’s” big night at the Oscars was a win for independent films, closing an awards season filled with controversies and missteps. This year’s events will surely teach us about handling discussions on social media, because in the end, the internet remembers everything

In a recent livestream, rapper DDG expressed his frustration about not being able to see his son, Halo, who he shares with pop singer Halle Bailey. DDG said he feels upset that Halle doesn’t let him visit and mentioned that the nanny seems to spend more time with Halo than he does.

During the livestream, DDG said, “Every day I don’t see my son, I’ll count it. I know she will let me see him eventually. I haven’t been able to see my son in private.” The rapper emphasized that he only cares about his son and isn’t bothered by Halle’s personal life or who she might be dating.

The two have had problems with co-parenting since their breakup. In November 2024, Halle called out DDG for showing their son Halo during a livestream without telling her first. She expressed her anger, saying, “I’m out of town and I didn’t approve of my baby being on the stream tonight. I’m really upset to see him in front of so many people, especially without being notified. I’m his mother and I protect him.”

Both parents seem to be struggling with how to raise Halo together peacefully.

In a recent court ruling, actor Tanushree Dutta faced disappointment when a Mumbai court dismissed her appeal against Nana Patekar. However, she remains positive and ready to continue her fight.

Tanushree shared on her Instagram that there’s good news: the court has canceled a report from the Mumbai Police that tried to close her sexual harassment case against Nana Patekar and others. In 2019, the police said they wanted to end the case without interviewing her witnesses, which Tanushree claims were threatened by Nana’s associates.

A key witness recently provided strong testimony in court, supporting Tanushree’s claims and revealing that she was pressured to remain quiet. The court accepted this new evidence, meaning the police must now move forward with a formal chargesheet against Nana Patekar.

Tanushree also called out media outlets spreading false stories about the case. She insisted that the court rejected the police’s attempt to close the case, confirming that it is still open. Tanushree urged everyone to fact-check before reporting.

Overall, Tanushree feels this victory is just the beginning, as the police are now forced to act on the case.

In Jaipur, Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit said that women in Hindi movies still face big pay gaps. They have to keep proving they can bring in fans. This news came during a talk called “The Journey of Women in Cinema” at the 2025 IIFA Weekend, where Madhuri was joined by Guneet Monga, a producer who just attended the Oscars.

Madhuri expressed that women actors need to show they are just as good, but still, things are unfair in terms of pay. She said, “Every time, we must prove ourselves to say we can attract an audience. There’s still a long way to go.” Guneet added that people should take more chances on female artists because it often feels like women have to work much harder to be noticed.

She pointed out that “Stree 2” did really well at the box office, which shows that movies with women can succeed. Guneet urged for more opportunities for women in film.

Madhuri shared that she has always played strong female characters, and she particularly loved her role in “Mrityudand,” which focused on women’s empowerment. She explained that in the past, very few women worked behind the scenes in filmmaking. Now, she sees women in various roles, like directors and writers, which is a big change for the better.

Guneet also shared some concerning facts, saying that only a small percentage of women are directors or work in film crews. She urged everyone in the industry to create more chances for women to shine.

The silver jubilee of the IIFA Awards will be held soon, hosted by Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan, featuring special performances by stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Deepika Padukone is a new mom! Last year, she and her husband, Ranveer Singh, welcomed their baby girl, Dua, in September. While they haven’t shown Dua’s face, Deepika shares little bits of her life as a mother.

At a recent event in Abu Dhabi by Forbes, Deepika was asked about the last thing she Googled. She smiled and said it was probably something like, “When will my baby stop spitting up?” This is a question many new parents probably look up too!

Deepika also talked about something really important: mental health. She shared her experience with depression during a program with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025.’ Deepika opened up about a tough time in her life. She explained how she couldn’t see her depression, even though it was very real. One day in 2014, she fainted and later discovered she was struggling with depression. “Depression is invisible. I smiled and interacted with everyone, but nobody knew how I felt inside,” she said.

Deepika, known for her role in “Om Shanti Om,” has spoken about her anxiety before. She starred in films like “Kalki 2898 AD” and “Singham Again.” As of now, there’s no news about her next project.
