Salman Khan has finalized director duo Raj & DK for his next feature film, according to a report by Lets Cinema. The partnership brings together the creators of hit series like The Family Man and Farzi with the actor for a high-profile theatrical release. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Reel Life Production, the project is currently in the writing phase with plans to begin filming in late 2026. The film is currently in the development stage, with the writing team working on a script tailored for Salman Khan’s mass appeal while retaining the unique storytelling style associated with Raj & DK. Although specific plot details remain under wraps, the production is aiming for a start towards the end of 2026. This timeline allows Salman to wrap up his existing commitments before moving into this new collaboration, which marks a significant shift in his choice of filmmakers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Prior to that schedule, the actor is working on a major pan-India action film currently titled SVC63. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally and produced by Dil Raju, the project is rumored in trade circles to be titled The Messengers and is being prepared for an Eid 2027 release. It marks the first lead pairing of Salman Khan and Nayanthara in a full-length feature. The cast also includes Anil Kapoor, Arvind Swami, and Rajpal Yadav. The music is being split between two composers, with Thaman S providing the songs and Anirudh Ravichander creating the background score. Another significant project on the actor's slate is the war drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. The film was originally titled Battle of Galwan and was inspired by the 2020 border clash. However, following geopolitical sensitivities and recommendations to remove direct references to the specific conflict, the makers shifted the story toward a broader emotional theme regarding the human cost of war. These creative overhauls and subsequent reshoots resulted in the film missing its initial April 17, 2026, release date. The production is now expected to arrive in theaters later in 2026, though an exact official date has not been confirmed.

The horror-comedy genre has become a powerhouse at the box office, with the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise leading the way in India. Following the massive success of the second and third installments, fans have been looking for any confirmation regarding Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4. While the return of Kartik Aaryan as the fan-favorite Rooh Baba seems like a foregone conclusion, director Anees Bazmee has shared some realistic insights into why the project has not officially taken off yet. In a recent conversation with Variety India, Bazmee explained that while there is significant interest in a fourth film, the biggest hurdle is the script. The director admitted that after three successful movies, the creative team has essentially covered every major angle possible within this universe. He noted that they even took the bold step of turning the hero into a Manjulika-like figure in the previous film, which leaves very little room for a fresh surprise. For Bazmee, the priority is to find a story that justifies a return rather than just making another film for the sake of the franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the track record of the franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 were both major hits, establishing Kartik Aaryan as a reliable star for this specific genre. Bazmee described Aaryan as a hard-working director's actor who excels in comedy, and their rapport is a key reason why another collaboration is inevitable. The director has a history of building long-term working relationships with stars, having done multiple projects with Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar in the past. It is clear that the team is ready to move forward the moment a compelling narrative is locked in. While the search for a new Bhool Bhulaiyaa story continues, Bazmee is already busy finishing his next big project. This upcoming film is also a comedy and features a reunion with Akshay Kumar, with whom the director has worked on hits like Welcome and Singh Is Kinng. The cast also includes Vidya Balan and Raashii Khanna, making it one of the more anticipated comedies of the coming year. This shows that while the horror-comedy franchise might be on a temporary pause, the director remains focused on delivering high-energy entertainment for the big screen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ultimately, the fate of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 rests on finding a great story that can live up to the legacy of its predecessors. Given that the previous films set such high benchmarks in terms of both humor and box office numbers, the caution from the makers is logical. Once a unique hook is found that can offer something new to the audience, the director has confirmed he would love to be back at the helm to continue the Rooh Baba saga.

However, there was a noticeable uptick as the day progressed, with evening shows hitting 15 percent and night shows peaking at 18 percent. This trend suggests that the film is currently being driven by late-night family outings and casual viewers.

As Dhamaal 4 enters its final stretch before the fifth week begins, it has successfully secured its position as a profitable venture, having maintained a steady hold on the box office throughout its month-long theatrical run.

Mumbai, August 6 - Bollywood star Ajay Devgn is reportedly reshuffling his release calendar, setting up one of the biggest box office battles of 2026. Devgn's jungle adventure Ranger has reportedly been postponed to 2027, with Golmaal 5 taking over its December 4, 2026 release date, according to Variety India. If the report proves accurate, the Rohit Shetty directorial will lock horns with Prabhas' Fauzi and Akshay Kumar's untitled comedy entertainer directed by Anees Bazmee. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The reshuffle significantly raises the stakes for the December corridor. While Golmaal 5 and Akshay Kumar's yet-to-be-titled film belong to the comedy genre, Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is a large-scale period action drama led by Prabhas. The clash would offer audiences two commercial comedies against a pan-India action spectacle, making it one of the most diverse and highly anticipated box office battles in recent years. However, Golmaal 5's arrival (if official) could also trigger another major release change. Akshay Kumar is playing a major role in Rohit Shetty's comedy alongside Ajay Devgn. Releasing two Akshay Kumar-led commercial entertainers on the same day would split both the actor's fanbase and the comedy audience, making it an unlikely scenario. As a result, Anees Bazmee's untitled film is also a strong candidate to move to another release date, although no official decision has been announced yet. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If that happens, Prabhas' Fauzi could be left facing only Golmaal 5, turning the clash into a battle between one of Indian cinema's biggest comedy franchises and one of the country's biggest pan-India stars. Golmaal 5 boasts an ensemble cast featuring Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu and Sharman Joshi, who returns to the franchise after appearing in the original Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006). Meanwhile, Fauzi stars Prabhas alongside Imanvi, Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Bhanu Chander and Jayapradha. The film carries high expectations following director Hanu Raghavapudi's critically acclaimed Sita Ramam and Prabhas' massive pan-India fan base. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar's untitled comedy with Anees Bazmee also stars Vidya Balan and Raashii Khanna. While the release calendar is yet to be officially finalised, the coming weeks are expected to bring clarity on whether Bollywood will witness a three-way blockbuster clash or another round of strategic postponements.

Following these changes, the film received its censor certificate on August 5.
