Suparn Verma’s Haq to be screened in Patna on International Women’s Day

To mark International Women's Day, the Bihar State Film Development and Finance Corporation Ltd. (Department of Art & Culture, Government of Bihar) is hosting a special screening of the film *Haq*. This film tells a strong story about a woman's fight for dignity, justice, and her rightful place in society.

The film is directed by Suparn Verma and is inspired by the real-life legal case of Shah Bano, which was a major moment in India's discussion about women's rights, maintenance laws, and equality before the law.
 It follows the emotional, social, and legal journey of a woman who challenges long-standing traditions to fight for what she is entitled to.

The special screening will happen on March 7, 2026, at 11:30 AM at Regent Cinema.
 The event will be attended by Pranav Kumar as the Chief Guest. The event is organized under the leadership of Mrs. Rachna, IAS, who is the Managing Director of the Bihar State Film Development & Finance Corporation Ltd. The event celebrates cinema that brings attention to important and socially relevant stories.

The film is produced by Vineet Jain, Vishal Gurnani, Juhi Parekh Mehta, Harman Baweja, and Vicky Jain.


*Haq* highlights a deeply personal yet universally relevant story about resilience, courage, and the pursuit of justice.
 By showing the film on International Women's Day, the organizers hope to start meaningful conversations about gender equality and the importance of recognizing women's voices and rights.

Speaking about the film, director Suparn Verma said, "Haq is not just a film; it's a reminder of the courage it takes for a woman to stand up and claim what is rightfully hers.
 The story, inspired by Shah Bano, is a powerful chapter in India's social and legal history and deserves to be seen, discussed, and celebrated. My hope is that audiences leave thinking about how far we've come and how much more we need to do to ensure women's rights and dignity."

The film features strong performances by Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, who bring a lot of depth and authenticity to their roles.
 With its strong storytelling, meaningful subject, and powerful performances, *Haq* is an important film that deals with themes of justice, equality, and social change.

“A humble request to all those who left their jobs after watching Tamasha – be successful and be a good example” – Imtiaz Ali

The movie Tamasha, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, came out in 2015. It didn’t do very well at the box office, but over time, it gained a lot of fans and became a cult favorite. The story is about a man who is unhappy with his boring job and eventually decides to quit in order to follow his dream. The film made a strong impact, and it's common to hear people talk about leaving their jobs to pursue their passions, especially in creative fields. Imtiaz Ali, the director, shared his thoughts on this during a fan meet in Mumbai hosted by Laksh Maheshwari.

 He repeated the same message again.

Imtiaz Ali also talked about balancing life.
 He said, "You need to eat food and wear good clothes. But for that, you need to earn money. And if you want to holiday in Switzerland, you need to earn even more! The idea is to balance it out. There's no other option. Your body will make it balanced. You have to survive and you should survive so that you can prosper and do what you want to do even more."

He shared a personal story.
 Once, while having a meal in a restaurant, he saw a man from another restaurant running towards him. The man said, "I left my job after watching Tamasha." Imtiaz asked him, "Did you leave or were you asked to leave?" The man was very emotional and passionate. He was the first person to tell Imtiaz that the movie inspired him to leave his job.

Imtiaz told him, "Work very hard.
 Make a success out of yourself." Otherwise, the man might come back and say, "It is because of this guy that I am in pain!" So, Imtiaz asked the people who left their jobs, "Please bring success to your endeavors. If you don't, then you're not inspiring other people to be able to do it."

Raaj Shaandilyaa BREAKS SILENCE on Ekta Kapoor dispute; says Bhagam Bhag 2 is “on track”

Filmmaker Raaj Shaandilyaa has given a detailed response to reports of a legal disagreement with Balaji Telefilms, which is owned by Ekta Kapoor.
 The reports said that this dispute had affected the shooting of Bhagam Bhag 2.  

In his statement, Shaandilyaa said he had followed his contractual rights and sent a notice to end his arrangement with Balaji Telefilms.
 He said, “It has now been over two weeks since the notice was sent. If Balaji Telefilms thought they had a strong enough legal reason to challenge the ending of the arrangement, they could have gone to the right court. But no such action has been taken.”

When it came to reports of criminal allegations, he called them “exaggerated and without any real basis.”
 He explained that these claims seemed like attempts to scare him after they realized there was no valid legal reason to oppose the termination. He also said he is confident in his legal position and will deal with any allegations through the proper legal channels.

He also made it clear that Bhagam Bhag 2 is still moving forward as planned.
 “It may also be clarified that the film Bhagam Bhag 2 is very much on track and the project will proceed as scheduled,” he said, refuting reports that the sequel had been put on hold because of the dispute.

This comes after reports suggested that the sequel, which stars Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee, and Paresh Rawal, had stopped filming because of legal problems.


In his final message, Shaandilyaa asked people in the film and creative industries to be aware of the situation and make their own judgments when joining professional groups.


The case now seems to be moving toward more legal and professional discussions, while the future of the film continues to be closely watched.

Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan wrap eight-night-long Vijayadashami action sequence for King: Report

Since it was announced, King has been one of the most watched upcoming movies in Hindi cinema. Recently, the film finished shooting a big action scene with Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan, which was filmed during a large Vijayadashami festival.

According to Mid-Day, the action sequence was made to look like a real Vijayadashami parade.
 A source from the report said, "The team recreated the big feel and energy of a Vijayadashami procession with drums, colors, and the excitement seen on the day of immersion."

The scene had a huge crowd with hundreds of extras.
 Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan shot the action part over eight days. The same source said that Suhana did many stunts for the scene, which was one of the most physically challenging parts of her role.

King has been getting a lot of attention since it started.
 The excitement started in January 2024 when producer Sajid Nadiadwala gave the film's name to Shah Rukh Khan. In August 2024, the actor confirmed that this would be his next movie.

Originally, Sujoy Ghosh was meant to direct the film.
 But later, Siddharth Anand took over. He had worked with Shah Rukh Khan on the 2023 movie Pathaan.

The film has a big group of actors, including Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Arshad Warsi.
 For Suhana Khan, this will be her first movie after her small role in The Archies, which came out on OTT. Earlier this year, Siddharth Anand also said that King will be released in theaters around Christmas 2026.

Rani Mukerji exits Oh My Goddess after creative differences with Amit Rai; here’s what happened behind the scenes

Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar were planning to work together on the movie *Oh My Goddess*, which is directed by Amit Rai. Akshay confirmed the film by sending a message to Rani on the release of *Mardaani 3*, calling her the "Goddess" in his post. He said, "Go watch the goddess of acting in her most powerful avatar. I saw it, I loved it. Don't miss it," which indirectly announced the film. Earlier, a PR website suggested that Rani was never signed for the project.

However, after digging deeper, we found out that Rani was indeed confirmed to star in *Oh My Goddess* with Akshay Kumar and Amit Rai.
 According to a reliable source, Rani started having creative differences with Amit Rai. She had her own ideas about how the story should be told, including changes in post-production. Amit, on the other hand, had his own views on how the film should be presented. The two couldn't agree, and this led to some kind of disagreement.

Akshay tried to bring them together, but eventually, he felt that the right vibe was needed for the film, and it was better not to force the casting.
 Rani also had her own concerns, and both actors, as professionals, decided to part ways politely. Rani loved the script but, with a heavy heart, chose to step back. Now, the team is looking for another senior actress to take on the role.

The film was planned to start filming in April with a full schedule, but that has now been put on hold.
 Earlier, a website claimed that Rani hadn't signed on, but we at source can confirm that pre-production was already underway, and the makers were ready to start filming in April with Rani. "It wouldn't make sense for them to invest money in pre-production without having the necessary paperwork. Casting changes happen for many reasons, but calling it fiction just to make a point is irresponsible journalism."

*Oh My Goddess* is produced by Akshay Kumar under Viacom 18, where he plays an extended cameo role.
