Ravi Kishan to play antagonist in Kartik Aaryan-starrer Naagzilla

Source has been sharing special updates about one of the biggest movies coming in 2026, called Naagzilla. A few days back, we told you that the movie might not be coming out on Independence Day as planned. Now, we have more exciting news from the set of the film. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the villain's role in Naagzilla is being played by Ravi Kishan.

A source told us, “Kartik Aaryan’s character is very important, and so is the villain’s in the story.

 The makers thought Ravi Kishan was the perfect fit for this role. He has always been a great actor and has shown his talent in recent movies like Laapataa Ladies (2024), Mamla Legal Hai (2024), and Son Of Sardaar 2 (2025). Ravi was very excited to join this special film and play a character that is both interesting and well-written.”

The same source added, “The scenes between Kartik Aaryan and Ravi Kishan are expected to be really exciting to watch.”

In Naagzilla, Kartik Aaryan plays a shape-shifting snake.

 The film was announced last year and was initially planned for release on August 14, which is the Independence Day weekend. However, it is now expected to come out later in the year.

Earlier, a source told , “The shooting is expected to be finished in a few months.

 Also, the film has a lot of visual effects, so the post-production process will take a lot of time. The makers and lead actor Kartik Aaryan are clear that they don’t want to rush the process. They know they have a special film on their hands and want to make sure they give it the best finish before showing it to the audience.”

Naagzilla is directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, who is known for his work in Fukrey.

 The film is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain’s Mahaveer Jain Films. This marks the first time that Kartik Aaryan is working with Mahaveer Jain, and also the first time Mahaveer Jain is working with Karan Johar. It is also the second film for Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar after Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.

Rani Mukerji-starrer Oh My Goddess to go on floors in February; Akshay Kumar to have an extended cameo on the scale of OMG 2

The year 2026 started with some big news as it was revealed that Akshay Kumar had joined the third part of the OMG series. The reports also said that this time, Rani Mukerji would be the main actress in the film. That's not all. The movie won't be called OMG 3, but instead it's named Oh My Goddess. A source confirmed that the movie is being made and shared more details about it.

The source said, "Oh My Goddess will start filming in February.

 It was said that Akshay Kumar would have a special appearance and shoot for just a day or two. But the truth is that he has a longer cameo and is spending more time on set. In fact, his acting time is similar to or almost the same as he had in OMG 2 (2023)."

The source added, "The script was finalized last year.

 It's a fresh idea and director Amit Rai is taking it one step further to give the audience something new within the OMG universe. Everyone on the team is excited about the film and is ready to start shooting. Also, Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji have never worked together before, which has created a lot of excitement both inside and outside the industry."

Meanwhile, Rani Mukerji is preparing for a busy 2026.

 An industry insider said, "Rani's Mardaani 3 is set to release in cinemas on February 27. If Oh My Goddess starts filming next month, she'll have to manage both the shoot and the promotion for her cop drama. She'll also be filming for Shah Rukh Khan's much-anticipated movie, King. This means that after a long time, Rani will have two movies coming out this year. Oh My Goddess is expected to be released in cinemas in 2027."

Haq secures no. 1 spot in India on Netflix, trends in top 10 across 14 countries

This marks a big moment for Suparn S. Varma's growing cinematic journey. In a world where OTT success often depends on short-term popularity, HAQ has shown steady interest from viewers and conversations, highlighting Varma’s talent for telling stories that are real and focused on performances.

According to Netflix's weekly rankings, HAQ started at No. 1 in India and No. 2 globally on Netflix’s Top 10 Non-English Films list.

 The film also made it into the Top 10 in 14 countries, taking the No. 1 spot in five of them. This shows strong international interest in a Hindi courtroom drama that focuses more on ideas than big action scenes.

The film quickly became the top movie on Netflix India's list and has kept its position, doing better than many longer-running titles on the platform.

 More than just numbers, HAQ has sparked a lot of conversations in the film industry. Actors, directors, and creators from cinema and OTT platforms have spoken publicly about the film, praising Varma’s calm direction and how the story allows silence, tension, and ambiguity to mean something.

At the heart of the film are Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, whose performances bring emotional truth to the story.

 Gautam gives a controlled and honest portrayal of Shazia, while Hashmi delivers one of his most intense roles yet. Together, they turn the courtroom drama into a deeper look at power, faith, marriage, and moral choices.

Inspired by the 1985 Shah Bano case, HAQ looks at a significant moment in India’s legal history through a personal and human story.

 Rather than just retelling history, the film focuses on the real-life effects of laws and society, keeping discomfort and complexity central to the experience.

Speaking about the film's success, Varma said: "I never wanted to make a film that would just trend.

 I wanted to make one that would last. Justice, especially for women, is rarely simple or easy. The Shah Bano case is remembered as a legal achievement, but behind it was a woman who had to fight just to be heard. That human cost was always my starting point. The response tells me that audiences are ready to engage with complex stories when they are treated with care and empathy."  

With films like The Family Man Season 2, Rana Naidu, Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai, and now HAQ, Suparn S. Varma continues to build a filmmaking legacy based on moral questions, quiet storytelling, and powerful performances.

 As HAQ keeps gaining popularity on Netflix, it proves that films that tackle complexity and have strong messages can achieve both wide reach and long-lasting impact.

The RajaSaab ends with the promise of a sequel titled RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935

The Prabhas-starrer The RajaSaab has surprised audiences with a major twist.

 The film ends with a clear message that the story isn’t finished yet. In a move that will make people talk on social media, the makers reveal in the final moments that the film will continue in a sequel called RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935.

While The RajaSaab is mostly a horror-comedy with big production values, its ending hints at a much bigger world.

 The title Circus 1935 suggests that the sequel will take the story back in time, combining old-fashioned style, mystery, and grand visuals. These elements match director Maruthi’s style of mixing different genres with big entertainment.

The RajaSaab has already created a lot of excitement because of its large scale, impressive visuals, and Prabhas’s standout performance.

 The news about RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935 has only made fans even more excited.

The title points to a more serious and mysterious setting, with a 1930s circus as the main backdrop.

 This era is rarely seen in Indian movies, especially in the horror-comedy genre. If done well, the sequel could expand the world from the first film, adding more stories and characters while keeping the charm of the series.

So far, the makers have kept most details secret.

 There’s no official update on when the sequel will start production or if it will begin right away.

With franchises becoming more common in Indian cinema, The RajaSaab stepping into a larger story seems like a smart decision.

 If RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935 delivers on its exciting title, it could offer a bigger and more thrilling movie experience for audiences.

Besides Prabhas, The RajaSaab also features Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and others.

The Raja Saab Movie Review: THE RAJASAAB has an interesting premise but suffers from messy writing.

The Raja Saab Review {2.0/5} & Review Rating  

Star Cast: Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar  

Director: Maruthi  

The RajaSaab Movie Review Synopsis:  

THE RAJASAAB is the story of a man trying to find his grandfather.

 Raju (Prabhas) is an orphan who lives in a village with his grandmother Ganga Devi (Zarina Wahab). She is losing her memory, but she remembers her husband, Kanakaraju (Sanjay Dutt). He left her when they were young to complete a mission and never returned. Ganga Devi wants to see her husband one more time before she passes away. Raju finds out that Kanakaraju was seen near Charminar in Hyderabad. He goes to Hyderabad and meets Bessy (Nidhhi Agerwal) and falls in love with her. He also meets Bhairavi (Malavika Mohanan). Both of them, along with his village friend Geeta (Riddhi Kumar), develop feelings for him, which adds to his problems. Meanwhile, he gets drawn into a mysterious house in the forests of Naraspur. Here, Kanakaraju’s spirit traps him and his friends. What happens next is the rest of the film.

The RajaSaab Movie Story Review:  

Maruthi’s story has a lot of potential.

 But his screenplay is complicated and messy. The Telugu dialogues are okay, while Rohan Shukla’s Hindi translation is good.

Maruthi’s direction is all over the place.

 He handles the grandeur well and creates an eerie atmosphere. The first half is just okay, but the flashbacks of Kanakaraju are interesting. The interval block is strong and promises a dramatic second half.

However, the film takes a turn for the worse after the interval.

 The characters are stuck in the haunted house. There’s also a psychological element, which could have made the film unique. But the writer-director fails to use these elements properly, leading to a tedious and frustrating ending. The extended climax is hard to watch. Also, two romantic songs are added in the second half, breaking the tension. Even more surprising is that a key scene from the trailer isn’t in the film. In the first half, Geeta’s father is mentioned but never appears, suggesting he was cut out.

The RajaSaab Movie Review Performances:  

Prabhas brings his star power and tries to make the film fun with his charm and antics.

 But the weak writing doesn’t help. Sanjay Dutt does a good job as the antagonist and uses his eyes to create fear. Malavika Mohanan is the standout; she looks amazing and gives a strong performance. Her fight scene is unexpected and exciting. Nidhhi Agerwal is well cast and does decently. Riddhi Kumar gets the least screen time, but she performs well. Zarina Wahab gives a heartfelt performance. Boman Irani (Dr Padmabhushan) leaves an impression. VTV Ganesh, Satya, Prabhas Sreenu, and Saptagiri try to make viewers laugh and succeed in some scenes.

The RajaSaab movie music and other technical aspects:  

Thaman S’s music is average.

 'Nache Nache' is the highlight and is well shot. However, it feels forced in the film. 'Rebel Saab' is a good opening song. The rest of the tracks are forgettable. The background score is good and catchy.

Karthik Palani’s cinematography is spectacular.

 Rajeeva’s production design is top-notch. The mansion is big, eerie, and looks real. Swetha Thanay’s costumes are stylish. Deccan Dreams’ VFX is generally good but looks cheap in scenes with the scary cat. Ram-Laxman and King Solomon’s action sequences are fun. Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao’s editing could have been tighter, as the film is quite long.

The RajaSaab Movie Review Conclusion:  

Overall, THE RAJASAAB starts with a good idea and has a strong midpoint, but the second half is hard to watch due to poor direction and messy writing.

 Because of this, the film might not have a strong appeal in the Hindi market.
