Prime Video has released the trailer for its upcoming original movie, *Don’t Be Shy*, a young adult romantic comedy.The story focuses on themes like friendship, first love, heartbreak, and the challenges of early adulthood.The film features new actors Aarushi Bajaj, Piyush Khati, Bianca Arora, and Ansh Duggal in the main roles, along with established names like Kunaal Roy Kapur, Anurag Basu, Neha Dhupia, and Anju Alva Naik in important roles.

The trailer introduces Shyamili “Shy” Das, played by Aarushi Bajaj, as a young woman whose carefully planned life takes an unexpected turn.

As she tries to get back on track, she finds herself dealing with complicated feelings for Mayank, played by Piyush Khati, and her estranged childhood friend Dhruv, played by Ansh Duggal.

The arrival of Tara, played by Bianca Arora, adds another layer to Shy’s challenges.

What starts as a chance to fix things soon leads to a series of new situations, relationships, and tough decisions, setting up the film’s romantic comedy storyline.

Writer and director Sreeti Mukerji shared her thoughts about the film, saying, “*Don’t Be Shy* came from a place of missing the movies I used to watch growing up—movies I still go back to for comfort and entertainment.

This is my tribute to that time in our lives when we're on the edge of adulthood but still young in many ways.It's about the feeling that no matter how strange or wild life gets, we can always find our way back to ourselves.I’m really thankful to Alia and Shaheen for trusting me to write this story and helping bring it to life.Of course, none of it would have been possible without Prime Video for believing in the story and me, and the amazing cast of Aarushi, Ansh, Bianca, and Piyush, who made the characters come to life.I can’t wait for audiences around the world to meet the characters on September 25!”

Aarushi Bajaj said, “Playing a character so different from who I am was both challenging and exciting.

Stepping into Shy’s shoes pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.Playing the role of Shy also felt like a big responsibility.I wanted to give her everything I had and do justice to her journey.I can’t wait for audiences to finally meet her and experience the world through her eyes.”

Bianca Arora said, “My character has a very different way of seeing things, and that’s what made this role so much fun for me.

Tara almost felt like she gave me permission to be my most expressive self on camera, and I found a lot of joy in discovering that side of her and myself.After everything we’ve put into *Don’t Be Shy*, I’m beyond excited for audiences to finally watch it.”

For Ansh Duggal, this is his first film.

He said, “It feels surreal to know that my very first film is going to be watched by people around the world.I’m nervous, excited, and just incredibly grateful for starting this journey with *Don’t Be Shy*.It’s a feeling I won’t ever forget.”

Piyush Khati said, “Mayank is a character with so many layers, and getting into his shoes was both a challenge and a really fun exercise.

I found little parts of myself in him that surprised me along the way.”

What makes this movie even more special is the journey we've all been on together.

We started as four new people learning everything as we went, and now we're seeing our film ready for the world to watch.

Written and directed by Sreeti Mukerji, the film is produced by Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt under Eternal Sunshine Productions.

Don't Be Shy will be shown on Prime Video in Hindi with English subtitles across India and over 240 countries and regions around the world on September 25, 2026.

Abhishek Pathak opens up on 12-year Drishyam journey: “Filmmaking is intense, and my wife kept me sane”

Creating a successful movie requires careful planning, a strong story, and steady work.For director Abhishek Pathak, the journey of the Drishyam series has also been influenced by the support of his family and his belief in good luck.

Abhishek Pathak talks about his 12-year journey with Drishyam: "Making movies is tough, and my wife helped me stay calm."  

As Drishyam The Conclusion is about to come out in theaters, Pathak recently shared thoughts on the 12-year journey of the series and how his personal life has changed along the way.

While the series is famous for its suspense, writing, and twists, the director sees things from a more personal angle, especially the support he has received from his wife, Shivaleeka Oberoi.

At the trailer event, Pathak talked about the series and the personal moments he experienced during the journey.

He said, "This is a 12-year journey.I don't think anyone imagined we would be here after 12 years completing part 3.I am 39 now.In part 2, I married Shivaleeka, and now in part 3, I have a daughter.I became a father.It's emotional, and Shivaleeka has been with me since Drishyam 2, giving me peace and support.Making movies is intense, and she helped me stay sane.It's a long and meaningful journey."  

Pathak's words show how the personal side of working on a long-running series has shaped his life.

As he returned to the Drishyam world for the third movie, his life outside of filmmaking also changed, with marriage and fatherhood becoming important parts of the journey.

He also thanked Shivaleeka for her presence and support, which helped him deal with the stress of making movies.

For Pathak, making the Drishyam films has been closely tied to the changes in his personal life.

With Drishyam The Conclusion set to continue the story, Pathak now looks back on a franchise that has been a part of both his professional and personal life for over a decade.

The film is set for a theatrical release on October 2, 2026.

Daayra marks Kareena Kapoor Khan’s TENTH film to receive ‘A’ rating from CBFC; Kunal Kemmu’s Vibe also gets adult certificate

It seems like this is the year of adult films.After movies like Dhurandhar The Revenge, Mirzapur, Cocktail 2, Batwara 1947, O'Romeo, Assi, Bandar, and others, the two major Hindi films coming up next week also received an 'A' rating from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, was approved by the CBFC today, September 11, with an 'A' rating.

The film is 143 minutes and 16 seconds long, which is 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 16 seconds.It is an investigative thriller directed by Meghna Gulzar.

Daayra is Kareena Kapoor Khan's tenth film to be rated for adults only.

Her previous films with an 'A' rating include Ajnabee (2001), Chameli (2003), Dev (2004), Omkara (2006), Kurbaan (2009), Heroine (2012), Udta Punjab (2016), Veere Di Wedding (2018), and The Buckingham Murders (2024).

Meanwhile, Vibe also received an 'A' rating from the CBFC today.

The film is an adult-only release.According to the CBFC website, Vibe is 145 minutes and 55 seconds long, or 2 hours, 25 minutes, and 55 seconds.

Vibe is directed and starred by Kunal Kemmu.

Other actors in the film include Preity G Zinta, Sparsh Shrivastava, Vanshika Dhir, Dinesh Lal Yadav (Nirahua), and Yashpal Sharma.Vibe is Preity G Zinta's second film since she came back to acting.Her previous film, Batwara 1947, released last month and also got an 'A' rating.

An industry insider said, "Daayra's 'A' rating makes sense as the film deals with a subject that is for adult and mature audiences.

However, Vibe looks like a fun entertainer that adults and even kids and teens can enjoy.It seems to be in the same style as Kunal Kemmu's previous directorial, Madgaon Express (2024), which was given a U/A rating.So, its adult certification might come as a surprise to many."

Both Daayra and Vibe are set to release in cinemas on September 18.

Haiwaan Day One Box Office Estimate: Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar starrer has a Disastrous opening; collects approx Rs. 3 cr. on Friday

The movie Haiwaan, starring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, is ending its run at the box office with a very poor start in India.Early numbers show that the film earned between Rs.2.75 crore and Rs.3.25 crore, which is way below even the most cautious predictions.

Haiwaan hasn't performed well across all regions, and the only reason it has made any money is because of the fame of its lead actors.

The trailers gave some hints that the movie might not do well, but even then, no one expected such a weak opening.This is also the first time Akshay Kumar is working with director Priyadarshan since their successful film Bhooth Bangla.

The national chains collected around Rs.

1.90 crore on the first day, which is a very bad result.The opening is similar to that of movies like Selfiee and Sarfira, which are not good signs.Surprisingly, Haiwaan is one of the worst openings of the year, even though it had a big budget and strong star power.

There might be a slight increase in earnings on Saturday and Sunday, but the opening is considered a failure.

 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.

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.
