Kumar Mangat Pathak said, "I have been with Ajay even before he became an actor.

Veeru ji (Ajay Devgn’s father Veeru Devgan) was like my brother.He treated me like family.In fact, I can even say he adopted me!Ajay ji has kept that connection with me."


Kumar Mangat Pathak continued, "I don’t need to ask before visiting Ajay ji’s house.

I just say, 'Main aa raha hoon' (I am coming).The only thing I ask is 'Khaali kutte ko sambhal ke rakhna' (laughs)!I used to feed him when he was a puppy, but one day, he bit me!"


At that moment, the audience in the hall laughed a lot.

Even Ajay Devgn couldn't stop laughing.


Kumar Mangat Pathak then spoke seriously, "So our journey has been amazing.

We fully trust and believe in each other.Whenever I bring him a story, he only asks, 'Abhishek ne suni?' I say yes, and he says, 'Let’s do it.' Besides making movies, we are also building multiplexes."


Drishyam The Conclusion releases in cinemas on October 2.

Shaque: Trust No One Trailer: Parineeti Chopra starrer series unravels a mother’s 9-year search – Can she trust anyone?

 Netflix has released the trailer for its new mystery thriller called *Shaque: Trust No One*, which promises a deep and complex story about a mother searching for her missing child over nine years.Parineeti Chopra is making her first appearance in a series and plays this role.The show deals with themes like trust, doubt, and the hidden secrets that can exist even in the closest relationships.The series is set to premiere on September 24.

The story centers around a mother who does not stop searching for her missing child.

Her instinct and belief that her child is still alive drive her search.As time passes, her investigation leads her to uncover a truth that was hidden in plain sight.As the mystery deepens, she starts to doubt what she knows and whether the people she is closest to can be trusted.


The series is created by Rensil D'Silva and Siddharth P.

Malhotra, and directed by Rensil D'Silva.It is produced by Sapna Malhotra and Siddharth P.Malhotra, with support from Alchemy Filmz.The show features an ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Winget, Soni Razdan, Anup Soni, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Harleen Sethi, Sumeet Vyas, and Dhruv Chowdhary.


Parineeti Chopra, who plays the mother at the heart of the story, said, “*Shaque* is unlike anything I've done before.

At its heart is a mother's instinct and her refusal to give up, but the story goes much deeper as her search begins to challenge everything she believes about the people around her.As a mother myself, I found the emotional core of this story deeply personal.There is an instinct that comes with motherhood—you would do absolutely anything for your child, and that instinct to protect them, find them, and never stop fighting for them is something I connected with deeply.Making my series debut with such a layered story, alongside the fantastic team at Netflix, Siddharth, Rensil, and the entire ensemble, has been a very special experience.I can't wait for audiences to step into this world, piece the clues together, and experience the twists for themselves.”  


Jennifer Winget added, “What immediately drew me to *Shaque* was the ambiguity of its characters.

Nothing is simply black or white, and everyone carries a history, a motive, and a secret that gradually reveals another layer to the story.The mystery keeps you guessing, but it is the emotional relationships at the heart of it that make the suspense feel so personal.Working with Rensil, Siddharth, and this incredible ensemble, and bringing this story to Netflix, was an exciting opportunity to explore a character and a world that constantly keeps you questioning what is real and whom you can trust.I think audiences are going to have a lot of fun trying to put the pieces together.”  


Soni Razdan shared, “*Shaque* is a story where the mystery is deeply rooted in human relationships.

What drew me to it was the way it explores trust, suspicion, and the secrets people carry, while keeping motherhood and its emotional complexity at the heart of the story.It's been exciting to be part of a world where nothing is quite what it seems.”  


Anup Soni stated, “I have been part of multiple mysteries, but what makes *Shaque* compelling is that it goes beyond simply solving a mystery narrative and keeps you questioning the people, relationships, and circumstances surrounding it.”


The story is complex, surprising, and keeps making you rethink what you thought you knew.



Tahir Raj Bhasin also said, "It's amazing to be back on Netflix with Shaque, where each character adds something new to the mystery.

What I loved most was being part of a story that keeps changing how the audience sees things and makes you doubt what you think you know."  


Harleen Sethi added, "What really attracted me was the deep emotions beneath the mystery.

It's a story about relationships, secrets, and how trust can change when things get tough.Being part of such a group and a rich, layered world was amazing."  


Sumeet Vyas said, "Coming back to Netflix with Shaque after Chumbak has been exciting, especially to be part of a story with such a talented cast.

Working with actors I really respect and being in a world that's so complex and unpredictable made this experience special for me."  


Dhruv Chowdhary shared, "Shaque pulls you into a world where the truth isn't always what it seems.

What impressed me most was how each character has a different viewpoint, making you always question what's real, what's hidden, and who you can truly trust."  


With nine years of searching for her child, Parineeti Chopra, who plays the main character, now faces another big uncertainty—her trust in the people around her.

As the trailer introduces many questions and shifting viewpoints, Shaque: Trust No One promises to keep viewers guessing until the truth is finally revealed.


Shaque: Trust No One will premiere on September 24, only on Netflix.

Toxic OTT Rights: Streaming platforms in discussions, but deal figures are pure speculation

Yash-starrer *Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups* didn't achieve the box office success many had hoped for, but its future isn't over.Bollywood Hungama has learned that the makers are currently talking with streaming platforms about its digital release.

*Toxic* has been in the news a lot recently, especially regarding its potential digital rights deal.
Although there are many reports about how much the film might be worth, nothing is confirmed yet.Some numbers are just guesses and shouldn't be taken seriously right now.

This is important because *Toxic* was expected to be a big hit in theaters.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas and starring Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, and Rukmini Vasanth, it was a big-budget movie.But its box office didn't meet those high expectations.

Earlier reports suggested that an OTT offer was much higher than what might be possible now.
Some estimates even put the current value at around 30 crores.But again, these are just guesses, and no deal has been finalized.

In recent times, streaming platforms have become more careful.
They look at how well a film did in theaters, how people reacted, and what long-term value it might have before making a big investment.

So, for *Toxic*, the OTT part is still in progress.
Even though the theatrical run didn't go as planned, the future on streaming platforms is still being discussed.The final deal will only be clear once everything is settled.

An insider who knows about the ongoing talks told Bollywood Hungama, "Even though *Toxic* didn’t meet the theatrical expectations, it’s still getting a lot of attention, especially for its digital premiere.
Talks are happening with different platforms, but no deal has been confirmed.What’s being shared in the market right now is all just speculation."

For now, any number being talked about should be considered just an estimate and not the real deal.
