Tiger Shroff Confirms His Rambo Is Back On Track After Years Of Uncertainty

Mumbai, January 6 - Months after Rambo was reportedly shelved, Tiger Shroff has finally put an end to speculation surrounding his much-anticipated action project. The actor has confirmed that the film is now back on track after years of uncertainty and being reworked on a much bigger scale. The Hindi adaptation of Rambo was officially announced in 2018, with Tiger Shroff headlining the film. It was pitched as a high-octane action spectacle inspired by the iconic Hollywood franchise led by Sylvester Stallone. Given Tiger's reputation for intense action, combat skills, and physical transformation, the announcement generated massive buzz at the time. Back then, the makers promised a gritty, large-scale action film that would present Tiger in one of his most physically demanding roles. However, after the initial announcement and early pre-production talks, updates on the project slowly began to dry up. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the years, Rambo quietly slipped into limbo. Industry reports suggested that the film faced multiple roadblocks, including creative restructuring, budget concerns, and changing market dynamics. To proceed with the project became difficult as many of Tiger Shroff's big-budget action films failed at the box office, leading producers to rethink. By 2023–2024, reports emerged claiming that Rambo had been shelved, with some reports suggesting the makers were unsure about reviving the project in its original form due to Tiger Shroff's declining box office pull in action space. The absence of official updates further fueled speculation that the film had been dropped altogether. Putting all rumours to rest, Tiger Shroff has now confirmed to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Rambo is very much alive. The actor revealed that the project had been stuck for nearly six years due to various reasons, but has finally found its way back into active development. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actor reveals that this time, Rambo will not be a straightforward remake. Instead, the film is being reinvented, with a fresh approach that reflects his growth as an actor and action performer. He also hinted at a completely new look and a more evolved version of the character, suggesting that audiences can expect something significantly different from what was initially planned. However, the actors didn't reveal if it would be produced by Siddharth Anand and director Rohit Dhawan. More details are expected once Tiger completes his current assingments. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-starrer Smashes More Records In 5th Weekend

Mumbai, January 5 - Ranveer Singh's spy action thriller Dhurandhar is showing no sign of slowing down as it continues its historic box office run, smashing yet another major record in its fifth weekend and inching closer to rewriting the all-time Hindi cinema record books. The Aditya Dhar's directorial collected a phenomenal 33.25 crore net in its 5th weekend, making it not just the biggest 5th-weekend grosser in the history of Hindi cinema but also the biggest 5th week, after it crossed the entire 5th week total of Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which minted 30 crores net earlier last year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) No Hindi film before Dhurandhar has managed to pull such massive numbers so deep into its theatrical run. With this, Dhurandhar's total net collection has surged past 772 crore in just 31 days. The Ranveer Singh-led blockbuster is now only around 40 crore away from Pushpa 2, which currently holds the record for being the biggest Hindi net grosser of all time. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the consistency of the film's run. Even in its fifth week, Dhurandhar is registering numbers that many big releases struggle to achieve during their opening weekends. Strong word of mouth, repeat audiences, and sustained footfalls across multiplexes and single screens have ensured minimal drop on weekdays and explosive growth over weekends. With no major Hindi releases posing a serious threat in the immediate days ahead, Dhurandhar is well-positioned to overtake Pushpa 2 and claim the all-time Hindi net box office crown in the coming weeks. As it stands, Dhurandhar is not just a blockbuster but a once-in-a-generation box office phenomenon, redefining longevity and setting new benchmarks. Stay tuned...

Bhooth Bangla Release Date: Akshay Kumar's Horror Comedy To Be Postponed?

Mumbai, January 3 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's much-awaited horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla is reportedly heading for a possible release date change. The film, which marks the actor's reunion with veteran director Priyadarshan, was earlier announced to hit theatres on April 2, 2026. However, fresh industry buzz suggests that the makers might be reconsidering this date. According to the reports, Bhooth Bangla is likely to be postponed to avoid a major box office clash. The film's current release window places it dangerously close to Dhurandhar 2, a sequel that is expected to dominate screens and audience attention during the same period. Given the scale and hype surrounding Dhurandhar 2, the makers of Bhooth Bangla said to have decided to postpone the release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Reports indicate that the postponement, if it happens, could be by a month or two, allowing Bhooth Bangla to enjoy a clearer run at the box office. The decision is reportedly driven purely by business strategy, as the producers want to maximise theatrical footfalls and avoid getting overshadowed by a big-ticket release. The official announcement regarding the postponment is yet be made. As of now, Bhooth Bangla is still officially scheduled for an April 2, 2026, release, but the postponement is imminent, and the announcement is expected to be made soon. Bhooth Bangla has already generated strong curiosity among fans, especially due to Akshay Kumar's return to the horror-comedy genre under Priyadarshan's direction. Stay tuned...

Breaking Buzz: Shah Rukh Khan's King and Ranbir Kapoor's Love and War To Be Split Into Two Parts?

Mumbai, January 2 - The mega success of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar may have a lot more to say than just its box office numbers, as the latest report suggests a massive change in the industry regarding two of the most-awaited films, which are reportedly going Dhurandhar way. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has proved to be a game-changer with over 1100 crores worldwide (so far), and its second part, which is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026, is easily one of the most hyped films in Indian cinema. Following this monstrous success, the buzz is that Shah Rukh Khan's King, along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, might also go the same way. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, there are very high-level discussions in Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's camp around the release of King and Love and War. It is said that both films are big-budget spectacles and have gone beyond what was on paper when it comes to the cost of production. The report suggests that both SRK and Bhansali are individually contemplating splitting their epics into two parts and releasing them in a gap of less than 6 months. While Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal-fronted film could arrive in August 2026 and January 2027, King is reportedly contemplating September 2026 and March 2027. While the idea is in preliminary discussions, it will only happen if both films have enough footage to be able to release in two parts, just like Dhurandhar. The final decision regarding this will be taken on the editing table, once the shoot is done. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Becomes All-Time Number 1 Bollywood Film On BookMyShow

Mumbai, January 2 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has become the highest Bollywood ticket seller on BookMyShow, after beating Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava. The spy actioner continues to rewrite history at the box office and is breaking records with each passing day. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has sold 13+ million tickets so far on BMS, beating Chhaava, which sold 12.50+ million tickets on the platform, followed by Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan (12.40+ million) and Maddock's horror comedy Stree 2 (11.15+ million). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The biggest movie on BookMyShow is Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule, with nearly 20 million tickets, followed by Kantara Chapter and Dhurandhar. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has still enough legs left to outnumber the Rishab Shetty-starrer to emerge as the number 2 film on the platform. Dhurandhar is racing towards beating Pushpa 2's 810+ crores net collection to become the highest-grossing movie ever in the Hindi language at the domestic box office. The film has so far scored 740 crores (885+ crores gross) in 28 days, as the second biggest grosser. Worldwide, the spy actioner is nearing 1150 crores and is likely to beat Jawan's 1160 crores gross to become the biggest Bollywood blockbuster (without China) by today or tomorrow.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh-starrer Beats Jawan To Become Highest-Grossing Bollywood Movie Without China

Mumbai, January 2 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has rewritten Bollywood box office history by achieving a landmark feat. The Aditya Dhar directorial has surpassed Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film globally without any contribution from the Chinese market. Jawan, released in 2023, had concluded its worldwide theatrical run at around 1,160 crore, emerging as the biggest Bollywood grosser at the time. Dhurandhar has now gone past that figure at a much faster pace in just 29 days, setting a new benchmark for Hindi cinema. The spy action thriller has grossed nearly 900 crores at the domestic box office, while its overseas performance is no less than miraculous, with over 265 crores in 29 days so far. This historical achievement makes Dhurandhar the biggest Bollywood blockbuster to-date, as said, without China. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When it comes to overall numbers, Aamir Khan's Dangal is the biggest Bollywood as well as Indian grosser to date with 2070 crores worldwide gross. However, the film made over 1300 crores gross at the Chinese box office, which is not a regular market for Indian films. Only a very small number of Indian titles have ever managed to release there, so it is not a fair comparison. Dhurandhar has achieved its massive worldwide number without China, relying entirely on audience support from India and established international territories such as North America, Australia, and Europe. In fact, Dhurandhar wasn't even released in the Middle East due to its subject, which has reportedly led to nearly 100 crores in revenue loss to the makers. As Dhurandhar continues its theatrical run, the film's total is expected to climb even higher, further strengthening its position not just in Bollywood but also in Indian cinema's all-time box office rankings, and cementing its legacy as one of its kind global phenomena.

Ikkis Box Office Day 1 Early Estimates: Maddock Films' War Biopic Takes A Good Opening

Mumbai, January 1 - The Bollywood industry might be in for a pleasant surprise to begin 2026 as Maddock Films' war biopic drama Ikkis, which happens to be legendary late Dharmendra's last film, has taken a good start at the domestic box office, exceeding expectations. New Year's Day, being a holiday, has always drawn footfalls, and Ikkis has taken the full advantage of it despite Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar continuing to dominate the box office. Starring Agastya Nanda in the title role, the film has scored an estimated 6.75-7.25 crores net on its opening day, which is better than what pre-sales suggested. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ikkis expectedly had mid-pre-sales, which suggested 4-5 crores net start, but the holiday advantage and early positive reception have propelled the opening to much higher numbers. The opening of the film is actually better than Kartik Aaryan's Christmas release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which is a very good sign. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis was originally scheduled to release on December 25, but was postponed to give it a genuine chance to perform amid the Dhurandhar wave. The decision to postpone the film seems to have paid off, and it is now all about building on the momentum. Stay tuned...
