Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha to romance on screen for the first time in Shashie Vermaa directorial; film set for April 2027 release

Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha are going to act together in a new comedy film for the first time as a couple on screen.The movie is directed by Shashie Vermaa and is not yet named.Although they have worked together before in the popular Fukrey series, this will be their first time playing a romantic role together in a leading position.

The film, backed by Scenework Productions and Giriraj Productions, will also feature Kumud Mishra in a significant role.
The story takes place in Delhi, a vibrant and busy city, and will offer a mix of humor, emotions, and social messages.

Shashie Vermaa, who has worked as an actor in films like Bala, Gunjan Saxena, and Kathal, and has also directed and written projects such as AK47 and Murga Trophy, is set to direct this new project.
Filming is planned for the second half of 2026, with a release date set for April 2027.

Ali Fazal shared his feelings about the project, saying, "I believe the best comedies come from real characters and situations.
When I read the script, I knew it was special.It's exciting to explore a new dynamic with Richa on screen, and I’m looking forward to what we'll create together.I've followed Shashie's work and wanted to work with him, which is a big reason for me joining this project."

Richa Chadha said, "What attracted me was the authenticity of the writing.
It's funny, emotional, and rooted in everyday life with a strong social message.Ali and I have shared the screen before, but never like this.I'm really excited for audiences to see us in a new space.The story reminded me of my school days in Delhi, and I'm thrilled to be working with Ali.We've never had the chance to work together in this capacity before; we were adversaries in Fukrey."

Shashie Vermaa described the film as a comedy centered around characters and everyday life.
"This is a story that celebrates people, relationships, and the impact of small moments in someone's life.Delhi itself is almost a character in the film.Having Ali, Richa, and Kumud brings depth, spontaneity, and heart to the story, and I can't wait to start filming."

Mukesh Giri of Giriraj Productions said, "From the start, this story stood out because of its honesty, humor, and universal appeal.
Bringing together Ali and Richa in a new pairing, along with Kumud Mishra and under Shashie Vermaa's direction, makes this an exciting project for all of us.We look forward to showing this film to audiences in 2027."

The announcement comes after Scenework Productions and Giriraj Productions completed their children's sports film Murga Trophy, as both production houses continue to work on various projects across different genres.

Satluj removed from ZEE5 in India 48 hours after release; platform says the decision is taken in light of “current developments”

Director Honey Trehan's newest movie, *Satluj*, was taken off ZEE5 in India just two days after it first came out on Friday, July 3.The film is no longer available on the streaming service in the country, but it is still accessible in other parts of the world.

This sudden move has left many users confused and surprised as they found the movie missing from the Indian platform shortly after its release.
Neither ZEE5 nor the film's team has shared the exact reason for this change.

In response, ZEE5 released a statement thanking the audience for their support.
They praised the film's reception and expressed their appreciation for the viewers' engagement."The response to *Satluj* since its release has been truly overwhelming.We are deeply grateful to every viewer who chose to subscribe, watch and support the film.Your love and support have meant a great deal to us and to everyone involved in bringing this story to life.At ZEE5, we stand firmly by *Satluj* and the creative vision behind it.We believe strong storytelling has the power to inspire, endure and leave a lasting impact.We remain committed to supporting real and meaningful stories," the statement said.

The statement also confirmed that the film has been removed from the Indian platform.
"In light of the current developments, *Satluj* will be unavailable in India until further notice.We remain committed to exploring every appropriate avenue through due process to bring the film back to our audiences as soon as possible," they added.

ZEE5 ended the statement by reaffirming its commitment to creators.
"Our commitment to creators and to stories told with conviction, artistic integrity and purpose remains unwavering," they said.

*Satluj* is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra from Punjab.
The film features Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role, along with Arjun Rampal, Suvinder Vicky, Geetika Vidya Ohlyan and Kanwaljit Singh.The movie was previously titled *Punjab '95*.

Before Aamir Khan’s Lalkara, Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani planned a Lala Amarnath biopic

 After Sitaare Zameen Par (2025), Aamir Khan is ready to begin work on his upcoming movie, Lalkara.The film is about the life of Lala Amarnath and takes place during the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan.It brings Aamir back together with Ashutosh Gowariker, with whom he previously collaborated on Lagaan (2001), another cricket-themed period drama.


Interestingly, a few years ago, another big Bollywood star, Shah Rukh Khan, was also considering a film on Lala Amarnath.

At that time, the project was supposed to be directed by Rajkumar Hirani, a well-known filmmaker.


A source told Bollywood Hungama, “This was after the release of Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero and Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju, starring Ranbir Kapoor, both released in 2018.

This is when Rajkumar Hirani proposed the idea of a film on Lala Amarnath to Shah Rukh Khan.”


The source added, “However, due to certain reasons, the film didn’t happen.

Meanwhile, the pandemic may have also affected things.During this time, Rajkumar Hirani suggested making Dunki.Shah Rukh Khan liked the idea and joined the project.The film was finally released on Christmas 2023.”


Meanwhile, in 2023, there were reports that after Dunki, Rajkumar Hirani wanted to make the Lala Amarnath film with Shah Rukh Khan again.

Now, returning to Lalkara, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the film will have a Rajkumar Hirani connection.The filmmaker will be credited as the writer, along with Abhijat Joshi.The sports film will be produced by Excel Entertainment, run by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani.

Alpha Day 3 Box Office Estimate: Alia Bhatt–Sharvari starrer collects Rs. 13.5–14 cr. on Sunday; has a Rs. 35 cr. opening weekend

Alpha, the movie starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, showed good growth at the box office on its third day.Early estimates suggest that the YRF spy thriller is expected to earn between Rs.13.5 crores and Rs.14 crores net on Sunday.

The film started its third day strongly, making about Rs.
2.59 crores by 11 AM, which is higher than the Rs.1.75 crores collected on the same time on the second day.That's a growth of almost 48%.By 5 PM, the total net collection across India was around Rs.9.83 crores, showing a growth of about 45% compared to the same time on Saturday.However, the growth slowed down during the evening and night shows, leading to a final estimate lower than the earlier prediction of Rs.15 crores or more.

In the morning, the film had an occupancy rate of around 12%, which increased to about 18% during early afternoon shows.
Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru were the top cities in terms of earnings, while Maharashtra, NCR, and Gujarat were the best-performing states.

The major multiplex chains continued to play a big role in the film's success.
PVR INOX and Cinepolis together collected about Rs.1.51 crores by 11 AM, making up nearly 58% of the film's total earnings at that time.

With an estimated Rs.
13.5 to 14 crores on Day 3, Alpha has finished its opening weekend with around Rs.35 crores.The film's performance on Monday will be important in determining if it can keep up its success during the weekdays.

Dhamaal 4 undergoes CBFC changes; certain gestures modified, 7 words replaced

It's comedy time again.After movies like Pati Patni Aur Woh, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Welcome To The Jungle, Dhamaal 4 is now trying to do well at the box office.The makers finished the censor process early, and in this article, Bollywood Hungama will share the changes made to the film.

Dhamaal 4 got a U/A 13+ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification.
But the film had to make some changes.There were scenes with 'obscene' hand gestures that were adjusted and replaced in two places.

Also, seven places in the film had 'obscene' words that were asked to be changed.
Good news is that no scenes were cut from the film.

Once these changes were done, the makers of Dhamaal 4 received the censor certificate on July 2.
The certificate says the film is 143.00 minutes long.That means the film is 2 hours and 23 minutes long.

Directed by Indra Kumar, Dhamaal 4 brings back the main cast from the franchise, including Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi.
The film also has a new group of actors like Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar, and Ravi Kishan, adding fresh faces to the comedy series.

Dhamaal 4 is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, in association with Devgn Films.
It is produced by Ajay Devgn, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Indra Kumar, Anand Pandit, and Kumar Mangat Pathak.The film is made by T-Series Films, Maruti International, and Panorama Studios.

Dhamaal 4 is set to release in cinemas on July 10.
