Mumbai, May 29 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar-fronted Housefull 5 is set to hit the big screen on June 6, and the trade is bullish on this comedy entertainer, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. ## The Bollywood box office has been in good shape for the last couple of months, and the trade is expecting Housefull 5 to extend this good run. Before the movie hits the big screen, all eyes will be on how the advance booking of it goes. ## According to the latest reports, the makers are set to open advance booking of the film by Saturday evening or Sunday morning (May 31/June 1). The buzz for the movie is positive, and the trade is expecting it to emerge as Akshay's biggest opening, which will, however, depend on how pre-sales perform. ## Meanwhile, the advances for Housefull 5 have already opened in some international markets, and the initial response is reportedly positive. If the momentum continues, it can emerge as one of Akshay's biggest openers at the overseas box office. ## In the post-COVID-19 era, franchise-based films or sequels have performed very well at the box office. Housefull is among the biggest franchises in Bollywood, so there is genuine excitement among the fans for it, something which is expected. ## The film features a massive ensemble cast, which also includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever. ## Stay tuned...

Kartik Aaryan, Sreeleela's Untitled Love Story With Director Anurag Basu To Be Postponed?

Mumbai, May 29 - Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan and director Anurag Basu have teamed up for the first time for an untitled musical love story film. The film, which was originally supposed to be titled Aashiqui 3, features Sreeleela as the female lead, also marking her Bollywood debut. ## The film was announced earlier this year with a Diwali 2025 release date. However, according to the latest report by The Hollywood Reporter India, the love story is set to be delayed to a new date, possibly to 2026. ## It is said that Anurag Basu has completed 40% of the total shoot of the film after it went on floors in March this year. Kartik, meanwhile, recently started filming for Dharma Productions' "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri," while Basu is also busy in the post-production of his next, "Metro... In Dino,". ## Given the current commitments of both Kartik and Basu, the report states that the next schedule of their film is likely to kick off in August this year, and this makes things difficult to ready the film by October, which means the film is unlikely to be released on Diwali this year. ## THR India reports that the makers are likely to look for a Valentine's Day 2026 release, however, that date is also impossible as Kartik Aaryan's "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri" is already scheduled for February 13, 2026, release. ## Meanwhile, with the postponement of Kartik's film is certain, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's "Thama" with Maddock Films is set to get a solo release this Diwali. ## Stay tuned...

Among Big Spectacles, A Little Chidiya Spreads Its Wings

Mumbai, May 29 - In an era where the theatrical business feels uncertain and dominated by large-scale spectacles, arrives a quiet exception, Chidiya — a small, heartfelt film that has taken a decade-long flight to reach cinemas. ## Produced by Faqhrul Husaini under the Smiley Films banner and distributed by Reliance Entertainment, Chidiya is set to release in selected Indian cinemas on 30 May 2025. Written and directed by Mehran Amrohi, the film was completed nearly ten years ago. ## The film had its world premiere at the Zlín International Film Festival in the Czech Republic — one of the most respected global festivals for children's cinema — and went on to win awards in India, Russia, and New York. ## "It's a film that aged with grace", says producer Faqhrul Husaini. "We always believed that if the story had heart, it would find its place." ## Set in a modest Mumbai chawl, Chidiya follows two young brothers, Shanu and Bua, who dream of building a badminton court out of a junkyard. With nothing but hope and imagination, their journey becomes a quiet metaphor for resilience and childhood defiance. ## The cast features acclaimed actors Vinay Pathak, Amruta Subhash, and Inaamulhaq, alongside newcomers Svar Kamble and Ayush Pathak in standout child performances. The music, composed by Shailendra Barve and lyrics written by Mehran Amrohi and Jitendra Joshi, reflects the film’s emotional and lyrical world. ## Backing the film's theatrical release is Reliance Entertainment, where Amit Awasthi says, "In today's time, only content is working — and on that front, Chidiya is very strong. It's a film that connects emotionally, and we're proud to support it." ## With a runtime of 115 minutes and a U certificate, Chidiya will open in select cinemas with a regionally focused rollout. The marketing strategy stays aligned with the film's spirit — gentle, nostalgic, and discovery-driven. As major films chase noise, Chidiya hopes to find hearts. ## ## Stay tuned...

Deepika Padukone Exits Prabhas-fronted 'Spirit'?

Mumbai, May 22 - Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's highly-awaited Pan India movie Spirit with superstar Prabhas, seems to have a major casting shift after Deepika Padukone reportedly exited the film for some reason. ## It is said that Deepika was officially on board to play the female lead role, but has now been dropped from the film. According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, SRV got the shock of his life when Deepika Padukone refused to shoot for more than 6 hours a day for Spirit. ## Apart from the shooting hours, Deepika, through her agency, reportedly demanded an amendment to the contract. Their point of contention was simple - if the shoot extends beyond 100 days, Deepika will have to be paid extra for every single day of the shoot beyond the commitment on paper. ## The report further states that director Vanga, along with the producers, tried their best to sort out the issues, but the actress refused to bow down, eventually leading Vanga to drop the Kalki actress from the movie. He is now looking to recast for the part. ## Interestingly, Deepika had earlier turned down the offer as the shooting timelines did not match due to her pregnancy. However, due to a delay in the shoot, SRV approached her again, and this time, she agreed to come on board, before she was dropped again. ## The film is produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures. The shoot of the movie is expected to commence in the next few months. ## Stay tuned...

Salman Khan Locks His Next Film After 'Sikandar'

Mumbai, May 17 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has locked his next film after the recently released Sikandar, which underperformed at the box office. The actor has been in talks with multiple directors, including Kabir Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar, but he has prioritised Apoorva Lakhia's army-based film. ## There have been reports that Salma and Apoorva will team up for the first time for a film about the Galwan Valley clash between India and China. According to the latest report by Pinkvilla, the film is based on the novel India's Most Fearless 3, set against the backdrop of the 2020 Galwan Valley Conflict. ## "Apoorva Lakhia and Salman Khan are all set to start shooting for the film from July 2025. It will be shot in Ladakh and Mumbai, over a period of 70 days. It features Salman Khan as an army officer in a full-fledged film for the first time in his career, and he will be joined by 3 other actors from the younger generation", says that report.## Apart from Lakhiya, Salman Khan is also discussing a film with director Kabir Khan, who previously collaborated with the Sultan star for Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Tubelight (2017). However, despite Salman's willingness, the duo's 4th collaboration won't be Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. ## "Kabir Khan is against sequels, and doesn’t want to touch a classic like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. He has pitched an original, larger-than-life drama to Salman, and the actor is considering that as a follow-up to Apoorva Lakhia, but nothing is confirmed at the moment", the report further stated. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, May 17 - Over the last few years, Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal's comedy entertainer Hera Pheri 3 has been the centre of media attraction, for all the right as well as wrong reasons. The film was officially confirmed, but without any clarity on when it would start. ## For the last few weeks, the chatter around the film has picked up, and it is said that the mahurat shot took place recently. Suneil Shetty confirmed that the makers would release an announcement video in May, but the latest development has once again put the movie in deep trouble. ## According to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who has been an integral part of the franchise, has walked out of Hera Pheri 3 due to creative differences with the makers. The actor has also reportedly confirmed the development. ## Paresh Rawal essays the role of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. This character has a crazy fan base and is also one of the reasons why the franchise achieved cult status. Interestingly, Rawal had himself confirmed a couple of weeks ago that Hera Pheri 3 would start soon, but now, he has quit the project, leaving fans disheartened. ## There was a time when Akshay Kumar was out of the movie, but he returned to the franchise after massive fans' demand. The industry insiders are reportedly hopeful that something like that will happen, and Rawal will make his return to this iconic film series. ## Stay tuned...
