The Grahan effect: The real reason why Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s trailer not release on March 3

On Sunday, March 1, source shared that the trailer for Dhurandhar: The Revenge would be released online on Tuesday, March 3. But by Monday, it was clear that Jio Studios was no longer going ahead with the planned release on that date. Source contacted trusted sources to find out why the last-minute change happened.

  

A source told  “The reports about the trailer being released on March 3 weren’t just rumors.

 The team really wanted to launch it on that day. But they were told that March 3 is a Chandra Grahan (lunar eclipse), which is seen as an unlucky time to start something new. The inauspicious time is said to be from 9:39 am to 6:46 pm. Trailers are usually released around noon, which falls within this period. So the team decided to delay the release.”

In February 2026, source had reported that the trailer of Dhurandhar: The Revenge would be launched on March 5 at Mumbai’s iconic Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC).

 That plan was later changed, and the digital launch was moved to March 3. But now it looks like the makers might release the trailer on March 5 or March 6 online, without holding an event. The exact date is still not clear.

The Dhurandhar series features Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi.

 The first part was about an Indian spy who goes into Pakistan’s criminal and political world and causes chaos.

Interestingly, Dhurandhar: The Revenge will face a big competition at the box office with Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups.

 Directed by Geetu Mohandas, it brings back Yash, known from KGF, and also stars Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Akshay Oberoi and others. The trailer for this popular film will be shown on March 8 in Bengaluru at a big event.

Madras High Court restrains illegal broadcast of The Kerala Story 2 until March 23

The Madras High Court has issued a temporary order stopping internet service providers and cable TV companies from wrongly broadcasting the movie "The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond," which was shown in theaters on February 28.

This order was made on March 3 by Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy, following two petitions filed by Sunshine Pictures Limited, the makers of the film.

 The company had asked the court to stop unauthorized sharing of the film around the time it was released in theaters, fearing that someone might copy it without permission.

While looking at the case, the court said the producer had given the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate to prove they owned the film's copyright.

 The certificate named them as the producer, and the court accepted this as the first sign of ownership at this stage.

The judge pointed out that when there's a claim of illegal broadcasting, quick action is often needed.

 "In such cases, damage can be done if the illegal showing is not stopped early. However, there may also be a risk that the business interests of some of the people involved might be harmed because the relief asked for is very broad. Therefore, the person bringing the case should cover any possible loss," the court stated.

So, the High Court gave an interim order stopping the unauthorized showing of the film until March 23, 2026.

 The order said: "As long as this condition is met, the injunctions asked for in these two cases are granted until 23.03.2026. Send notice to the respondents for a hearing on 23.03.2026. Private notice is also allowed. The applicant must follow Order XXXIX Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure."

The case is set for another hearing on March 23.

Deepti Naval on teen run-in with police, opens up about depression and personal loss

Veteran actor Deepti Naval has shared candid insights into challenging moments in her life, including a rebellious teenage phase, struggles with depression and dealing with the loss of her fiancé.

 These revelations offer a rare glimpse into the woman behind her on-screen persona.

In a recent conversation, Naval recounted how, as a teenager, she attempted to flee her home with aspirations of traveling to Kashmir, only to be intercepted by the police and returned.

 She described this incident as a reflection of her early restlessness and yearning for freedom — themes she later explored in her memoir, *A Country Called Childhood*. She also revisited a difficult period in her professional life following her marriage to filmmaker Prakash Jha.

Naval has previously mentioned that her career opportunities significantly declined after marriage.

 "It felt as if my talent had been completely washed out," she once said at a public event, noting that the sudden slowdown contributed to a depressive phase. With a background in psychology, she admitted that recognizing the signs of her mental state was helpful, though seeking support was not an easy process at the time.

The actress, who rose to prominence in the 1980s through films like *Chashme Buddoor* and *Saath Saath*, later diversified her career across film, television and theatre.

 She has also made a mark as a poet, photographer and painter.

Naval also shared her relationship with Vinod Pandit, the nephew of classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj.

 The two were engaged before Pandit passed away from cancer. She described him as a strong supporter of her artistic endeavors and someone who helped her regain confidence in her creativity.

Today, Deepti Naval continues to act selectively while being an advocate for mental health awareness and speaking openly about the emotional challenges of the film industry.

 Her reflections not only highlight personal sorrow but also highlight her resilience, which has been a defining aspect of her life and career.

Love & War REAL budget revealed; Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic costs Rs 350 cr, not Rs 425 cr

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is one of the most famous directors in the Indian film industry, and his movies are still very popular today. His upcoming film, Love And War, is a major casting achievement of the year, as he has brought together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal for the first time.

Earlier in the week, there were reports going viral that the budget of Love And War had gone up to Rs. 425 crores, and the production was in trouble.

However, our trusted sources close to the project say that Love And War is moving forward as planned.

 "The budget of Love And War has definitely gone up, but this is common with all of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films. Originally, it was planned as a Rs. 250 crore movie, and the costs have now increased to Rs. 350 crores during the shoot. Sanjay Leela Bhansali doesn't give up on his vision, and he is very passionate about this film, which he believes could be his best work so far. The Rs. 425 crore figure is being spread to damage the project, and there's no truth to it," a source told.

The source added, "Unlike many movies that rely heavily on VFX, Love And War is mostly shot on sets with recreations of the past.

 This doesn’t cost a lot. Anyone who knows about filmmaking would say the Rs. 425 crore budget is a fake number. But the truth will come out, and the people should know that Love And War is a Rs. 350 crore film. The makers also plan to spend another Rs. 30 crore on marketing, which will take the total cost to Rs. 380 crores."

As for the release date, Love And War will now come out in 2027, between the two Ramayana films.

 The shooting will be finished by June.
