Great news for fans of Jr NTR! His new film with director Prashanth Neel, called “NTR Neel,” has officially started filming. The exciting announcement was made on social media by Jr NTR and the production company, Mythri Movie Makers. They shared a cool picture of Prashanth directing a scene.

In the photo, Prashanth is standing on a vehicle, while many extras are gathered behind a police barricade. You can see a damaged Ambassador car that looks like it was in an accident, with broken bicycles and a fire nearby.

The production team wrote, “The SOIL finally welcomes its REIGN to leave a MARK in the HISTORY books of Indian Cinema! #NTRNeel shoot has officially begun. A whole new wave of ACTION & EUPHORIA is ready to grip the Masses.” Jr NTR also shared the photo on his Instagram, saying, “And it begins…#NTRNeel.”

This film was announced on Jr NTR’s birthday in 2022. Last May, Prashanth shared a special poster and said filming would start in August, but only a prayer ceremony happened then. Initially, they wanted to start shooting in March last year, but there were many delays. Now, filming has finally kicked off! The movie is expected to be released in 2026. After the prayer ceremony, the producers had teased, “This time, the earth will tremble under his reign! #NTRNeel will step onto the soil on January 9th, 2026.” We hope it releases on time!

Besides this film, Jr NTR will also make his Bollywood debut in “War 2,” directed by Ayan Mukherji, alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani.

The Maharashtra Cyber Department has said that YouTuber Samay Raina will get a second summons because of comments he made on a show called “India’s Got Latent.” This follows Raina missing a meeting on February 18 to give his statement.

The Maharashtra Cyber Department stated that they will send the summons today to make sure Raina comes in to give his statement. Earlier, Raina asked if he could do the meeting via video call because he is currently in the United States and can’t return to India until March 17. However, the department denied his request, saying he must come in person.

The problem started when a guest on the show, podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, made a very inappropriate comment to a contestant. He asked a question that many people found offensive. This sparked a lot of anger, leading to a formal complaint against Allahbadia, Raina, comedian Apoorva Makhija, and the show’s organizers.

Raina later expressed his regret on Instagram, saying he only wanted to make people laugh. He took all videos of “India’s Got Latent” off his channel and said he would fully cooperate with any investigations.

After the backlash, multiple police reports were filed against those involved in different states, including Maharashtra and Assam. The Chief Minister of Assam confirmed that the police in Guwahati have filed a report against Allahbadia and Raina for promoting inappropriate content.

The Supreme Court also got involved, condemning Allahbadia’s comments. Justices described what he said as “shameful” and warned him not to take his popularity for granted. Allahbadia then asked the Supreme Court to combine the charges against him into one case. The Court agreed to hear his urgent plea and granted him temporary protection from arrest as long as he cooperates with the investigation.

The Court also mentioned that there is a lot of inappropriate content on platforms like YouTube and urged the government to take action against it. Justice Kant said, “We want the government to do something about this issue.”

The Maharashtra Women’s Commission praised the Supreme Court for stepping in and demanding that the show be stopped. Chairperson Rupali Chakankar said the Court’s action was appropriate and needed. The Commission had already requested an investigation into the incident.

Aadar Jain and Alekha Advani celebrated their mehendi ceremony with family and friends on Wednesday. They are getting ready to marry soon following Hindu traditions. An inside video from the event shows Aadar sharing his love story with Alekha. He opened up about how he had been just “passing time” for many years, but he has always loved her deeply.

In the video, shared by a close friend on Instagram, Aadar made a sweet speech. He said, “I have always loved her and wanted to be with her, but never had the chance. She sent me on a long journey for 20 years of ‘time pass.’ In the end, it was all worth it because I get to marry this beautiful woman who looks like a dream.”

He continued, “I love you, and it was worth the wait. It’s a secret: I have always loved her. I’ve been passing time for four years, but now I am finally with you, baby.”

Their grand mehendi ceremony in Mumbai was attended by celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Jaya Bachchan, and more. Aadar was previously dating Tara Sutaria for a few years until they broke up around 2023. Last year, he proposed to Alekha, who was close friends with both Aadar and Tara, often being the “third wheel” when they dated.

Pop superstar Rihanna is making waves again, but this time it’s not about her music. She recently showed her support for her boyfriend, rapper A$AP Rocky, who was found not guilty of a serious charge. The trial stemmed from an incident in 2021, where he faced allegations of shooting at a former friend in Hollywood.

After the verdict, Rihanna was seen outside the courtroom with A$AP Rocky, surrounded by reporters and fans. In a cute moment, when fans yelled questions and cheered for her, she asked them to be quiet with a simple hand gesture. It showed that both she and A$AP were truly relieved.

Rihanna didn’t hold back when one fan asked A$AP how it felt to lose his childhood friend. She quickly replied, “How do you think it feels?” That clearly showed her protective side!

On Tuesday, A$AP Rocky was declared not guilty. He faced serious charges that could have led to a long time in prison. After the jury’s decision, he thanked them and said, “Thank y’all for saving my life.”

Rihanna stood by him during this tough time and shared her thoughts on social media, expressing her thankfulness. She wrote on her Instagram, “The glory belongs to God and God alone! Thankful, humbled by His mercy!” with a prayer emoji.

New Delhi: Arati Kadav took on the big job of remaking the popular film “The Great Indian Kitchen” into Hindi, calling it “Mrs.” She aimed to keep the strong feminist message while sharing her own experiences as a woman. The movie stars Sanya Malhotra as Richa, a dancer who enters an arranged marriage but feels trapped in endless kitchen chores. People have praised the film for its good adaptation.

In an interview, Kadav talked about how “The Great Indian Kitchen” tells a strong story about the lives of women like our mothers and aunts. She believed it was important to tell this story responsibly. Kadav said, “I treated the original like a book.”

In “Mrs,” Richa faces criticism for tasting food while cooking, which comes from Kadav’s personal memories. The film includes many real-life stories from women, keeping some scenes from the original, like the leaking kitchen pipeline, which symbolizes patriarchy. Kadav said, “This film is not just about what is said, but what is meant… The pipeline represents an old problem that needs fixing.”

Kadav emphasized the loneliness many women feel, adding quiet moments to show their struggles. Unlike the original, which looked down on the story, she gave Richa a name to connect more deeply with her emotions. She told how important it is for women to return to cooking, even after they have faced emotional challenges.

Kadav called “Mrs” very personal, sharing the complicated sides of gender issues as a woman in her 40s. She praised Sanya Malhotra’s performance, saying, “She truly lived every moment of that character, even feeling the emotional weight.” Making the film was a careful process filled with love and responsibility.

Kadav started as a director’s assistant and worked on short films before her debut with “Cargo,” which mixed mythology with science fiction. She mentioned how people often see early filmmaking as just a hobby. She’s already written a new story and hopes to turn it into a movie with help from producer Deepa Motwane.

“I like to take my time creating my shots. I prefer making feature films instead of quick series,” Kadav shared.

Aishwarya Rai’s sister-in-law, Shrima Rai, recently faced a lot of criticism online. Many people accused her of using Aishwarya’s fame for her own benefit. In an interview with Mohsinaa Ahmad on YouTube, Shrima talked about how she felt hurt by this negative portrayal, which made her seem like a “shady character.”

She explained that an incident last November was misunderstood, and before she could explain, she was labeled as part of a “Bollywood drama.” Shrima expressed her disappointment that people ignored her hard work as a blogger. She said, “I didn’t want my connection to the family to be my claim to fame.”

She added that it was unfair for others to take credit away from her achievements without knowing the facts. Shrima noted that being compared to other women isn’t fair because everyone has their own unique journey.

In the past, many criticized her for not sharing pictures with Aishwarya and said that she gained fame through her sister-in-law. To clear the air, she posted on Instagram, stating her background as a banker and a winner of Gladrags Mrs. India Globe 2009 before becoming a blogger. She emphasized that she has built her own career and that’s important to her as a woman and a mother. However, she later deleted these posts.

Priyanka Chopra was spotted at the Mumbai airport flying out with her baby daughter, Malti Marie. She had a sweet moment as she held Malti in her arms, protecting her from bright camera flashes as they entered the airport.

On Wednesday, Priyanka wore a comfy grey jumpsuit, a matching cap, and black sunglasses. After getting out of the car with Malti, a fan asked for a selfie. Priyanka politely said, “I’m so sorry, I can’t take pictures; I’m with the baby.” The fan seemed a bit sad but then said, “I love you, Priyanka,” which made her smile.

Priyanka also chose not to talk to the paparazzi and covered Malti’s face to keep her away from the bright lights. Many fans were touched by their mother-daughter bond. One fan wrote, “So cute, Malti is sleeping in her mother’s arms,” while another said, “Hope to see you back in India soon.”

Last month, Priyanka visited India, spending time in Hyderabad before her brother’s wedding. After the wedding of Siddharth Chopra and Neelam Upadhyay, she went back to Hyderabad. This raised rumors that she might start filming for SS Rajamouli’s new movie, SSMB 29, alongside Mahesh Babu.

Even though no one has confirmed her role, fans are excited after seeing hints in her Instagram stories. Priyanka also shared a video of her trip from Toronto to Hyderabad, playing a song from the movie RRR in the background. After arriving, she hinted at “new beginnings” by visiting Chilkur Balaji Temple in Telangana with Upasana Konidela.

The filming for SSMB 29 began with a special ceremony in Hyderabad, but the team has kept Mahesh Babu’s look a secret. This movie is expected to be an adventure thriller, like Indiana Jones, and might also have John Abraham in an important role. However, the complete cast and movie title have not been revealed yet.

Nita Ambani recently attended the Harvard India Conference 2025 and had a great time answering fun questions about Bollywood. She talked about her favorite actor and made some clever choices, which fans enjoyed online.

During her speech, Nita discussed her son Anant’s battle with obesity before jumping into a lively rapid-fire question round. When asked about her favorite kind of movie, she picked Bollywood over Hollywood! Nita shared that her favorite actor is Amitabh Bachchan.

She was also asked to choose between two popular actors, Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. Nita chose Ranbir, saying, “Ranbir, because my son Akash will be very happy—he’s his best friend.”

Another funny moment came when someone asked if she’d rather have dinner with Ranbir Kapoor or Bill Gates. After thinking for a moment, she chose the Bollywood star! The audience cheered for her choice.

On social media, some people joked about her love for Bollywood. One person said she seems obsessed with it, while another noted that picking Ranbir over Bill Gates fits what many people in India think today. For context, Ranbir is close friends with Akash Ambani, and he even invited him to his wedding with Alia Bhatt.

Alongside Nita Ambani, Upasana Konidela—who is a healthcare entrepreneur and wife of actor Ram Charan—also attended the conference. She spoke about the current state of healthcare in India.

Rajkummar Rao shared the teaser for his new movie, Bhool Chuk Maaf, on Tuesday. Fans noticed that he has a special talent for playing characters from small towns who want to get married. In this film, he portrays a young man from Banaras who is thrilled about his upcoming wedding.

Recently, Rajkummar has taken on similar roles in other movies like Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Waala Video, Stree 2, Hum Do Humare Do, and Roohi. A popular comedian named Akshat noticed this trend in a funny video. He joked that there are not many stories to tell in India anymore, except for tales of boys from small towns wanting to marry. He humorously remarked that Rajkummar Rao, who he called India’s best actor, has become famous for these roles.

Akshat also pointed out that while Rajkummar has tried different movie genres, he always returns to the small-town guy storyline. Viewers on the internet agreed with Akshat’s observations. Some shared their thoughts, saying they liked Rajkummar’s earlier movies but felt he became too focused on having the hero role. Others joked that after his film Citylights, he decided never to show big cities again.

Fans are worried about him getting stuck in the same type of comedy roles. One comment said, “I hate to see Rajkumar being typecast in the same types of comedy movies; he has much more potential.”

Bhool Chuk Maaf is directed by Karan Sharma and produced by Dinesh Vijan, in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios. In addition to this film, Rajkummar Rao will also appear in Maalik, which is set to release in theaters on June 20, 2025.
