Bhushan Kumar, Vivek Agnihotri team up for film on Operation Sindoor

Producer Bhushan Kumar and filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri are working on a new movie based on Operation Sindoor, as shared by someone close to the project.

The person close to the project said, “Bhushan Kumar and Vivek Agnihotri are making a new film about Operation Sindoor.

 It will be produced by T-Series and I Am Buddha Production, and Vivek Agnihotri will direct it.”

The movie is inspired by the name of India’s military actions against terror groups in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

 The story is said to be based on events that happened after a sad incident where many innocent people, mostly tourists, were killed in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.

The team hasn’t officially announced anything yet, and there’s no information about the cast, when the movie will be made, or the production plan.

 A formal announcement is expected soon.

Elnaaz Norouzi joins 250,000-strong Munich protest for Iran; says “They risk their lives for freedom

Actor and global artist Elnaaz Norouzi took part in a big protest in Munich on February 14, 2026. The protest was to show support for the people of Iran. It was organized by Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and had more than 250,000 people from the Iranian community and their supporters. This is said to be one of the largest gatherings outside Iran in recent years.  

Elnaaz was in Germany for the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) and traveled from Berlin to Munich to be part of the protest.

 The event happened on Valentine’s Day, a day usually connected with love, but for many participants, it symbolized unity and support for people protesting inside Iran.

Elnaaz shared her feelings about the experience.

 She said, “I can’t even begin to explain how heavy this feels. We are seeing our loved ones suffer back home. Being there in the protest, even for a few hours, felt like the least I could do. I wanted to let them know they are not forgotten and they are not alone.”

She also added, “This day is called Valentine’s Day, but for us it is about a different kind of love.

 It is love for our brothers and sisters who step onto the streets knowing they may never return. They risk their lives for freedom. So those of us outside Iran must raise our voices louder, safer, and stronger for them.”

Elnaaz also mentioned the messages of support she has received from India.

 “I have received so many messages from people in India saying, ‘We stand with you, we stand with Iran.’ That support gives me strength on days like this. It reminds me that this is not only Iran’s fight, it is a human fight,” she said.

Through her participation in the Munich gathering, Norouzi joined thousands calling for freedom, dignity, and justice for the people of Iran.

Aamir Khan refutes reports of playing mediator in Farhan Akhtar-Ranveer Singh dispute

These days, it's hard to know which stories about the truth are real. The latest rumor in Bollywood involves Aamir Khan helping to settle a disagreement between Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh over the film Don 3.

A major news source reported that Aamir is trying to fix the situation between the two actors.

However, when this writer asked Aamir directly, he said he wasn't involved in the conflict.

 So, another untrue Bollywood story falls apart.

Akshaye Khanna or Nawazuddin Siddiqui to play villain in Tumbbad 2? Here’s what we know!

Few actors in Hindi movies have the quiet strength and deep psychological skills that Akshaye Khanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui show in their roles. Whether it's Khanna's strong villain role in Chhaava or his complex character in Dhurandhar, or Siddiqui's long history of playing unpredictable and grey characters, both have made stories better with their intense performances.

It's not surprising that people in the industry are talking about these two actors for the main villain in Tumbbad 2.

A Villain to Match the Myth

According to a report by Mid-Day, the sequel depends a lot on its villain.

 "A strong villain is key to the story of Tumbbad 2. The team wants to make the sequel better with a complex and powerful villain," said a source. "Akshaye Khanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are two names being considered. Their ability to play complicated and hard-to-predict characters makes them great choices for the Tumbbad world."

The makers are looking for more than just a regular villain.

 They want a character that is deeply psychological and morally unclear — someone who can match the dark presence of Sohum Shah in the growing mythological world.

The rumors come as Tumbbad 2 is gaining a lot of attention.

 After joining Pen Studios, led by Jayantilal Gada, the sequel is being treated as a big movie project. Originally released in 2018, Tumbbad started as a small hit but became a cult favorite worldwide for its storytelling based on greed and folklore. Its 2024 re-release brought in more fans.

Dhurandhar 2 shoot lands Aditya Dhar’s banner in trouble, BMC seeks permanent blacklisting: Report

 The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken strict measures against filmmaker Aditya Dhar's production company, B62 Studios, for supposed violations that happened during the filming of Dhurandhar: The Revenge in Mumbai. According to a report by The Indian Express, the BMC has suggested that B62 Studios be permanently banned from getting future filming permits. This is because they reportedly broke the rules multiple times.

Officials from the BMC's A ward office say a letter has been sent to the Deputy Municipal Commissioner (Zone 1) proposing that B62 Studios should not be allowed to apply for permits using the state-run portal managed by the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation Limited.

The problem started during a shoot in South Mumbai, between February 7 and 8, in an area between Modi Street and Perin Nariman Street in A ward.

 The production team had received permission on January 30 through the state film corporation.

However, the authorities claim that the team broke the rules by using crackers and flammable materials on set, which were explicitly prohibited.

After this, Komal Pokhriyal, another person involved, applied for permission to film on February 13 and 14.

 But because of the earlier violations, officials rejected this request.

Then, a new application came in for filming between 12:30 am and 4:00 am on February 14.

 This time, the officials gave conditional approval after the team promised they would not use flammable materials.

Despite this promise, around 12:45 am on February 14, the police got complaints about flammable torches being used during filming.

 A senior BMC official said that officers arrived at the spot within 15 minutes and took five lit torches from the site.

After this second violation, the applicants told the authorities that they would use visual effects (VFX) instead of actual fire in the scenes.

In addition to suggesting a permanent ban, the BMC has also proposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh for the team for filming on a building terrace and using two generator vans without proper permission.

 The Rs 25,000 security deposit given by the applicant has also been taken.

The A ward office has also asked for approval to officially record the seized items and take penalties against the applicants, Komal Pokhriyal, Nashir Khan, and B62 Studios.

If approved, this action would stop the production house and the named applicants from getting future filming permits through the state film corporation's portal.

O’Romeo Box Office: Scores a weekend of Rs. 34.51 crores, set to hit half century soon

O'Romeo is on track to hit Rs. 50 crores this week.

 The film opened with Rs. 9.01 crores on the first day and saw a good increase on Saturday. It was expected that Sunday would be a slower day because Valentine’s Day had already passed on Saturday and there was also a big India vs Pakistan T20 match in the evening. So, as long as the collections stayed similar to Saturday, it would be a decent performance.

As a result, the film collected Rs. 11 crores on Sunday, pushing the weekend total to Rs. 34.51 crores.

 Comparing this with Shahid Kapoor's recent films, it has already crossed Rs. 32.07 crores in its lifetime, which is quite quick. Its weekend performance is also better than that of *Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya*, which ended at Rs. 26.52 crores after starting with Rs. 7.02 crores. In fact, these numbers are close to its Week One collections of Rs. 41.97 crores.

That said, this Valentine’s Day 2024 release of Shahid Kapoor has already doubled its Week One score to a lifetime of Rs. 80.88 crores.

 That would be the first target for O'Romeo—crossing Rs. 80 crores in total. For that, the film needs to maintain steady collections during the weekdays.
