Deepika Padukone announces second pregnancy with Ranveer Singh in a heartwarming post featuring daughter Dua

Deepika Padukone has made a big personal announcement that has made her fans very happy. She shared the news that she is expecting her second child with her husband, Ranveer Singh. She did this through a touching Instagram post that quickly became very popular on social media.

The post was kept quiet and personal.

 She shared a photo of her daughter Dua holding a positive pregnancy test. Dua's face was not fully shown, as the couple prefers to keep their family life private. Deepika used two nazar amulets in the caption instead of writing anything, letting the picture speak for itself.

Soon after the post was shared, fans and people in the film industry started leaving messages of congratulations for the couple, who are among Bollywood’s most loved celebrities.

Deepika and Ranveer’s relationship has always been in the spotlight.

 After dating privately for many years, they got married in a grand two-day ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, on November 14 and 15, 2018. The wedding celebrated both Konkani and Sindhi traditions, showing their family backgrounds.

In 2024, the couple announced they were expecting their first child.

 On February 29, they shared a post with baby clothes and shoes, confirming the baby would arrive in September.

On September 8, 2024, the couple welcomed their daughter in Mumbai.

 They later revealed her name, Dua Padukone Singh, which means “prayer.” Fans loved the name for its meaningful touch.

Now, with the news of a second pregnancy, the couple is ready to welcome another child.

 This update has once again excited their fans, who have followed their relationship closely over the past decade.

Professionally, Deepika has stayed out of the public eye since giving birth to Dua.

 Fans are eagerly waiting for news about her return to acting. She is said to be working on several new projects, but no official comeback date has been shared yet.

For now, this personal moment has captured everyone’s attention.

 With just one post, Deepika Padukone once again made a lasting impression online and gave her fans another reason to celebrate with the Padukone-Singh family.

Vikram Bhatt’s upcoming 3D horror film to release in June

Vikram Bhatt is known for making great horror movies, so people are really excited about his new horror film. It was originally planned to come out on November 21, 2025, but then it was moved to January 30 and then to February 6. Now, it's going to be released within the next two months, according to Bollywood Hungama.

A source said, "Vikram Bhatt's next horror film is coming out in June.

 The team thought it was the right time to release the film and are confident it will attract a big audience."

This horror film brings together the director and actor Mimoh Chakraborty again after their work in Haunted 3D (2011).

 This time, they have Chetna Pande and others in the cast. Like Haunted, this new movie will also be released in the 3D format.

The film's teaser was released in September, and because of the audience's comments, Vikram Bhatt decided to shoot some parts again.

 This added 12 days of filming.

In November 2025, Vikram Bhatt told Bollywood Hungama, "When we released the teaser, some people were not happy.

 They wanted more real locations. We always listen to good feedback, so we shot in actual places. We included those scenes in the movie."

He added, "We made a lot of VFX shots for the background, but they didn't look realistic enough.

 So we went and shot a few scenes for 10 to 12 days."

Before wrapping up, Vikram Bhatt made a strong statement, "I can tell you my upcoming film will have the best 3D effects in Indian cinema so far.

 I just saw some 3D shots and I was really excited!"

Vikram Bhatt's upcoming 3D horror film is produced by Anand Pandit, Rakesh Juneja, and Shwetambari Bhatt.

Box Office Estimate Day 1: Bhooth Bangla headed for a Rs. 17 cr. start; Akshay Kumar starrer hits Rs. 14 cr. on Friday

Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are back together in the movie Bhooth Bangla, and it's attracting a lot of people to the theaters. The film made Rs. 3.50 crore from paid previews on Thursday night. On Friday, it's expected to make between Rs. 13.50 crores and Rs. 14.50 crores, bringing the total opening day earnings close to Rs. 17 crores.

The film has done better than expected.

 Before it came out, people thought it would make around Rs. 15 crores, including the paid previews. The early reviews are mixed, but it's still doing well for this type of movie. The goal is to make about Rs. 60 crores in the opening weekend, and then aim for the Rs. 100 crore mark in India.

The movie is also doing well at smaller theaters, not just the big chains.

 On the first day, it made around Rs. 7 crores at the national chains, which is about half of the total business.

There are good signs for the upcoming days too.

 Families are planning to watch it with Akshay and Priyadarshan during the holidays. This strong start sets up the movie for a good run, and it's already on track for the weekend, which is a common trend starting from Monday.

Ramayana is not just a film; it is Bollywood’s biggest faith test in years

When Ramayana released its first teaser on April 2, 2026, the film industry reacted the same way it always does for big blockbuster movies: with admiration, applause, excitement, and lots of talk about box office success. But that's not the real story here. The real story is much more important. Ramayana is not just another big, expensive Hindi movie. It's Bollywood taking on a sacred space in Indian culture and asking the audience to trust it. That makes it more like a public exam than just a movie launch.

That’s why the stakes here are completely different from a regular blockbuster.

 A normal big movie can survive weak dialogue, over-the-top special effects, mixed emotions, or a confident marketing campaign. At worst, people might say it’s disappointing and move on. But Ramayana won’t be given that kind of leniency. It's being made as a two-part epic for Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027. Ranbir Kapoor is now confirmed to play both Lord Ram and Lord Parshuram, and he has said the whole saga will be around six hours long. This isn’t just a movie for stars anymore. It’s a cultural message, combining blockbuster style, franchise goals, and deep spiritual sensitivity all in one.

That’s why Bollywood should be worried.

 Because the audience doesn’t just want big production values from Ramayana; it wants respect. It wants reverence without being too stiff, spectacle without being too flashy, and modern techniques without losing its spiritual meaning. That balance is really hard to get right. The makers aren’t adapting a book they can change, twist, or make fun of. They’re handling a story that lives in people’s homes, in rituals, prayers, memories, and moral values. The moment the film looks like it’s chasing visuals more than truth, the backlash won’t just be about the movie. It will become a debate about the intent behind it.

The pressure on the film is clear even if no one talks about it openly.

 Adipurush changed the rules for mythological movies in Hindi cinema. It made viewers skeptical before they trusted the movie. So even when Ramayana gets praise for its ambition and scale, it’s being watched closely. The early reaction to the teaser itself shows this split. Some are admiring it, while others are cautious and skeptical.

That's why every outside opinion matters now.

 When Vindu Dara Singh said that if the makers change the story’s meaning, people will reject it, he clearly voiced the main fear around this project better than many film analysts. Even the online chatter about cryptic reactions and fan interpretations shows how tense the situation is. The public isn’t just watching Ramayana; they’re protecting it.

For Bollywood, this is a deeper test.

 Can the industry make a mythological epic without making faith look like just set design? Can it make things look grand without sounding spiritually empty? Can it respect the audience enough to realize that reverence can’t be just added through background music, fancy formatting, or slow-motion scenes? In the age of obsession with opening-day numbers, Ramayana is forcing Hindi cinema to answer a bigger question: can it still tell stories rooted in faith with maturity, control, and honesty?

If it succeeds, it won’t just be a blockbuster.

 It will change how Bollywood feels about telling religious epics. And that’s the hard truth. Ramayana isn’t just coming to theaters as a film. It's arriving as a test of taste, instinct, self-control, and honesty. Box office numbers will matter, sure. But before those numbers come, there’s the moral judgment. And on this one, the audience will be even tougher than any critic.

Several single-screen cinemas yet to open bookings for Bhooth Bangla from April 17 due to show-sharing dispute with Dhurandhar The Revenge

The horror-comedy movie Bhooth Bangla was supposed to come out on April 10, but it was delayed by a week because it didn't get enough showtimes during the Dhurandhar The Revenge release. The makers and the whole film industry thought that releasing Bhooth Bangla on April 17 would work well, but that hasn't happened. Less than a day is left before the release, and many single-screen cinemas still haven't started booking tickets for the movie.

A source told , "Jio Studios asked that Dhurandhar The Revenge gets 50% of the showtimes at single-screen theaters.

 They say the movie is still doing well and has a lot more to show. The fact that it made Rs. 6.50 crores on Tuesday has made their case stronger. On the other hand, Bhooth Bangla's team wants all the showtimes. They believe Dhurandhar The Revenge has already had a long run for four weeks and that it's time for Bhooth Bangla to get its share. They also say that ticket sales from the paid previews and the early booking trends show that there's a lot of interest in Bhooth Bangla, so it should get its fair chance."  

Bhooth Bangla will have paid previews starting tonight, Thursday, April 16.

 The source added, "Single-screen cinemas are allowed to show Bhooth Bangla once as part of the paid previews, but because of the ongoing dispute over showtimes, they haven't started bookings for Friday, April 17."

As of 8:00 am on April 16, several single-screen cinemas in Mumbai, including Inox Dadar, Citylight, Plaza, Chitra, New Excelsior, MovieTime Star City, Roxy, MovieTime Dahisar, Maratha Mandir, Mukta A2 Orion Santacruz, Gold Cinemas (Dadar, Thane, Santacruz and Borivali), PVR Le Reve, MovieMax Andheri, Bharatmata, MovieTime Suburbia and Anand Thane, still haven't started advance bookings for Bhooth Bangla on April 17.

 Even some two-screen cinemas, like Mukta A2 Jai Hind Lalbaug, Sun City, Topiwala Goregaon and Ajanta CineX, haven't begun ticket sales for Friday.

The problem isn't only in Mumbai.

 In other cities like Delhi and Jaipur, the same issue is happening. Cinemas like Delite and Liberty in Delhi, and Raj Mandir in Jaipur, have also not started bookings for Bhooth Bangla for April 17.
