Kareena Kapoor Khan hesitates to comment on the ‘daayra’ for outfits amid ongoing Kriti Sanon Giva ad controversy; Meghna Gulzar steps in

 Kareena Kapoor Khan recently took part in the trailer launch of the movie Daayra along with director Meghna Gulzar and the team behind the film.During the event, she was asked about the ongoing controversy surrounding the Giva jewellery commercial that featured Kriti Sanon.However, Kareena seemed unsure about commenting on the issue and didn't share her thoughts on it.


The controversy started when Kriti Sanon appeared in a special Raksha Bandhan advertisement for the jewellery brand Giva, wearing an Indo-western fusion outfit with a bralette-style blouse.

The look created a lot of discussion on social media, with some people not liking the choice of clothing, while others supported Kriti and her belief that women should have freedom in their clothing choices.


As the discussion continued, reporters at the Daayra trailer launch asked Kareena for her opinion about outfit choices in a film.

But Kareena seemed a bit uncomfortable and didn't want to answer.Director Meghna Gulzar then took over and answered the question.She said, "In that film, whether it's a female or male character – the dressing depends on that."  


After the Giva ad became more controversial, the brand took it down from their online platforms.

Giva also apologized for the backlash but said they still supported the intention behind the campaign.


The issue also brought more attention to the topic of clothing choices and how women are judged based on what they wear.

Kriti faced a lot of online criticism for her look in the ad, but many social media users supported her and her views on personal choice.


Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan is preparing for Daayra, which is her first project with director Meghna Gulzar.

The film is a crime drama about two police officers with very different beliefs and values who end up working together on an investigation into a serious crime committed by juveniles.


The film's story is centered around the differences between the two officers as they try to solve the case and deal with their conflicts.

Daayra is set to be released in cinemas on September 18, 2026.

Madgaon Express 2 to go on floors in February-March 2027

 The group from Madgaon Express is getting ready for another exciting journey.Kunal Kemmu is starting work on the second part of the movie, which is a follow-up to his 2024 film.Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, and Avinash Tiwary are expected to come back as their popular characters.


A report from Mid-Day says that the sequel is in the early stages of preparation and might start shooting in February or March 2027.

Kunal Kemmu, who wrote and directed the first movie, has also written the script for this one and locked it about a month ago.A source said, “The three actors are really excited to return as their beloved characters.If everything goes according to plan, the film will start shooting in February or March 2027.The preparation is already in motion.”


Kunal Kemmu wants to keep the friendship and adventures of the three friends going.

Madgaon Express followed childhood friends Divyenndu’s Pratik, Pratik Gandhi’s Ayush, and Avinash Tiwary’s Dhanush as their much-anticipated trip to Goa turned into a series of strange and crazy events involving drugs, criminals, and death threats.


The movie became a big hit, largely because of the chemistry between the three main characters and the funny way they showed friendship.



For the sequel, Kunal Kemmu wants to expand on the world he created instead of just repeating the same situations from the first movie.

The story will focus on the three friends again.“Kunal sees the sequel as a natural continuation of the friendship and adventures of the trio,” the source added.


Before Madgaon Express 2 starts, Kunal Kemmu will be directing a new film called Vibe.

The movie also stars Preity Zinta and Sparsh Shrivastava, and Kunal is the director.


Vibe is set to release on September 18.

Shah Rukh Khan joins Vodafone Idea as brand ambassador, company unveils new ‘Vi’ logo

 Vodafone Idea has announced Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan as its new brand ambassador.Along with this, the telecom company has introduced a new brand identity, which includes a fresh logo.The logo has changed from "V!" to "Vi".The company has also launched a new campaign called "Vi badal raha hai...tayaar rahiye."


Shah Rukh Khan, known as SRK, will promote the telecom service provider during the campaign.

However, the company hasn't mentioned how long this partnership will last.This announcement comes as Vodafone Idea, which is owned by the Aditya Birla Group, tries to improve its position in the telecom market and look for funding for a planned capital expenditure of Rs 45,000 crores over the next three years.


Vodafone Idea's CEO, Abhijit Kishore, said, "This is not just a logo update; it's the first step in the evolution of the Vi brand.

It shows our goals for Vi and our commitment to making telecom an experience that enhances customers' lives and opens up new possibilities."


Kishore also spoke about the company's plans for the coming weeks.

He said, "In the coming weeks, this evolution will come to life with strategic launches, new campaigns, and various experiences that will change how we interact with our customers.The new identity reflects optimism—optimism for all that is possible today, and especially for what we can achieve for both our retail customers and businesses in the future as a tech company."


This development happens as Vodafone Idea works to get funds for network expansion.

Business Standard reported that Vodafone Idea was close to securing a loan from the State Bank of India, with its promoters backing the guarantees for the loans.The company raised Rs 6,400 crores through bank-funded and non-funded facilities in the quarter ending June, which was the first part of its planned Rs 35,000 crore fundraising.


These funds are expected to support the company's 4G expansion and 5G rollout.

Vodafone Idea also added 240,114 customers in July, its highest monthly addition in two years.This marks its fourth consecutive quarter of net customer gains since the start of FY27 and its sixth consecutive month of growth since February.


Customer growth is one of the three main focuses of Vodafone Idea's Vi 2.0 strategy, along with achieving double-digit revenue growth and aiming to triple cash Ebitda over the next three years.


Aditya Birla Group chairman and Vodafone Idea non-executive chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said the company has gone past its "most challenging years" with better financial clarity, continued support from the promoters, and renewed investment ability after resolving the long-standing adjusted gross revenue (AGR) problem.


"In FY26, we focused on resolution.

FY27 is about execution," Birla said in his address to shareholders in the FY26 annual report.


"The key goals moving forward are clear: execute the network investment plan, improve market competitiveness, and turn a stronger balance sheet into sustained growth in customers and earnings," he added.

Mirzapur: The Movie becomes first Bollywood album to adopt Universal Music India’s ‘Hear It First’ model

From the dusty streets of Mirzapur to the big screen, one of India's most famous streaming series is getting ready for its biggest story yet.After three well-received seasons and a fan base that has turned characters like Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit, and Munna Bhaiya into popular culture icons, the series is making its first move to cinemas with Mirzapur: The Movie.

Before its cinema release, Mirzapur: The Movie is making history with its music as well.

Today, the full soundtrack of Mirzapur: The Movie was released under Excel Music, which is a new music label by Excel Entertainment.
This was done as part of Universal Music India’s 'Hear It First' initiative.Under this plan, new music will be available to special subscribers on music platforms in India for a short time, after which it will be available to all fans who use regular, ad-supported tiers.

This makes Mirzapur: The Movie the first ever Bollywood movie soundtrack to do this.

Vishal Ramchandani, CEO of Excel Entertainment, says, “Creating a stronger paid music system is important for the long-term growth of the Indian music industry.

'Hear It First' gives fans another reason to subscribe while helping artists and labels more.As we build Excel Music, we want to lead the way in supporting our industry’s growth, and it's exciting that Mirzapur: The Movie is the first Bollywood album to take this step.”

Universal Music India’s 'Hear It First' initiative gives paying music subscribers early access to big new releases, and helps support the growing paid music system in India.


With Mirzapur: The Movie becoming the first Bollywood film album to adopt this model, it marks a big change in how music from films is released.
It creates a special early access moment for paying subscribers before making the music available to the rest of the audience.This is a big turning point in how Hindi film music is enjoyed in the Indian music scene, and Excel Movies is leading this change.

Produced by Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie is set to hit the cinemas on 4 September 2026.
It brings together the franchise's beloved characters and fan favorites like Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Rasika Dugal, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Abhishek Banerjee.The movie also introduces new characters to the Mirzapur world, such as the popular Jitendra Kumar, known as Jeetu Bhaiya in the digital world, and the show’s current star—Ravi Kishan.
