Exclusive: Ram Gopal Varma’s emotional tribute to Sridevi; “75% of India was heartbroken when Sridevi married”

/

On August 13, Sridevi would have turned 62. Without a shadow of a doubt, she would have been as relevant at 70 as she was at 34 when she married Boney Kapoor. Ram Gopal Varma, one of the millions of diehard Sridevi fans, went into mourning after her wedding. Exclusive: Ram Gopal Varma’s emotional tribute to Sridevi; “75% of India was heartbroken when Sridevi married” Recalls Ramu, “I was quite heartbroken. I think 75 percent of the male population in India was heartbroken after she got married. Like your favourite Lata Mangeshkar, there will never be another Sridevi. She was perfect in every sense — flawless in her comic timing, incomparable in dramatic scenes, and electric in her dancing. I got to direct her only once, in Kshanam Kshanam. It was more than enough proof of what she could do. For every scene, she had 15–20 interpretations and expressions. Working with her was like staying at a 7-star hotel — you were spoilt for life.” He also recalls his first meeting with Sridevi. “I had gone to meet her at her residence in Chennai to sign her for a film. I was sitting in the living room with her mother, while Sridevi just flitted in and out of the room, as she was packing to catch a flight. Every time she came into the room, it was like a sudden rush of fresh, invigorating breeze.” Ramu has one birthday wish. “I want her to come back to earth again. Just once. So that humanity would know she really existed.” Also Read: Ram Gopal Varma insists that the Deepika Padukone – Sandeep Reddy Vanga row is just ‘blown up in the media’; says, “The whole thing is very exaggerated” BOLLYWOOD NEWS – LIVE UPDATES Catch us for latest Bollywood News, New Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, New Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today & Upcoming Movies 2025 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.

Will Prabhas starrer The Raja Saab meet its new release date?

/

By now, Prabhas’ films have acquired a notorious reputation for multiple delays and postponements. The Raja Saab, which has been in the making for two years, shows no clear sign of completion. Directed by Maruthi, the film was initially slated to finally release on April 10, 2025. Will Prabhas starrer The Raja Saab meet its new release date? However, it failed to meet that deadline due to incomplete post-production work. The film is now scheduled for release on December 5, 2025. But multiple industry sources in the know have confirmed to Subhash K Jha that even this new release date is unlikely to be met. A source reveals, “The film is far from completion. Prabhas is juggling dates for three or four projects at once. Earlier, he would work on only one project at a time. But that approach resulted in long gaps between his releases, as every film of his from Baahubali onwards has taken a minimum of two years. So, for the first time, Prabhas is working on multiple projects simultaneously.” On the current shooting status of The Raja Saab, the source adds, “About 20 percent of the shooting still remains. The post-production work is going on in parallel.” Also Read: Ivy Entertainment drags co-producer of Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab to Delhi High Court over alleged contractual breaches: Report More Pages: The Raja Saab Box Office Collection BOLLYWOOD NEWS – LIVE UPDATES Catch us for latest Bollywood News, New Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, New Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today & Upcoming Movies 2025 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.

Ivy Entertainment drags co-producer of Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab to Delhi High Court over alleged contractual breaches: Report

/

Delhi-based Ivy Entertainment, a subsidiary of Ivy Holdings, has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against Hyderabad-based People Media Factory Pvt Ltd (PMF), the co-producers of the much-awaited Pan-India film, The Raja Saab, as per an article in The Economic Times. The company is seeking a permanent injunction over what it claims are serious breaches of contractual obligations. Ivy Entertainment drags co-producer of Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab to Delhi High Court over alleged contractual breaches: Report In its plea, Ivy Entertainment alleged that PMF failed to fulfil several critical commitments, including completing and releasing the film within the agreed timeline, providing monthly production updates, disclosing how funds were being utilized, delivering agreed materials related to the film, and postponing the theatrical release multiple times without justification. The company claims that these breaches triggered termination clauses in the agreements, prompting it to demand a refund of Rs. 218 crores invested in the project, along with 18% annual interest. Ivy entered into a Film Rights Acquisition Agreement on January 25, 2023, and a Theatrical Rights Acquisition Agreement on March 10, 2023, with PMF. Under these contracts, Ivy acquired worldwide theatrical and non-theatrical rights to the film, secured co-presenter credits, and obtained contractual guarantees for returns. The petition also names PMF directors Vishwa Prasad Tumbalam Gooty and Subramanya Vivekananda Kuchibhotla, as well as post-production vendors Deccan Dreams Animations LLP, Prasad Xtreme Digital Cinema Network, Qube Cinema Technologies, and UFO Moviez, seeking a court order restraining them from dealing with the film without Ivy’s consent. The Economic Times story claims that despite the dispute, Ivy Entertainment has told the court that it intends to finish production and release the film itself to safeguard its substantial investment. The article also stated that The Raja Saab has a budget of Rs. 400 crores and that it won’t release on December 5, 2025, as scheduled. Instead, it’ll hit screens in January 2026. Recently, The Raja Saab’s producer also hinted that the horror comedy will arrive on Sankranthi 2026. T G Vishwa Prasad said, “See, I didn’t announce this publicly. But many people are of the view that it should be released for Sankranthi. Fans want that, as do Telugu business circles. There’s a strong proposal to release it on 9 January.” Meanwhile, Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, is also set to release on December 5. On this, the producer said, “However, the Hindi business circle wants it (The Raja Saab) to be released on December 5 because they don’t have anything strong releasing then, and Dhurandhar’s release might be moved too. We will anyway do what’s right for us. The film will be ready by October, but we will take a call.” Also Read: The Raja Saab teaser out: Prabhas puts on a charming show in this never-seen-before avatar in a spooky ‘haunted haveli’ tale More Pages: The Raja Saab Box Office Collection Tags : Deccan Dreams Animations LLP, Delhi High Court, Ivy Entertainment, Maruthi, News, People Media Factory Pvt Ltd (PMF), Prabhas, Prasad Xtreme Digital Cinema Network, Qube Cinema Technologies, Social Media, South, South Cinema, Subramanya Vivekananda Kuchibhotla, The Raja Saab, Vishwa Prasad Tumbalam Gooty BOLLYWOOD NEWS – LIVE UPDATES Catch us for latest Bollywood News, New Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, New Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today & Upcoming Movies 2025 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.

Sonakshi Sinha slams ruling of mass confinement of stray dogs; calls out government hypocrisy

/

Sonakshi Sinha recently took to Instagram to express her strong condemnation of the recent ruling enforcing mass confinement of stray dogs across the Delhi NCR region. Sharing a poignant note on her social media, the Bollywood actress highlighted the harsh reality faced by street dogs and criticized the government’s approach as lacking compassion and effective solutions. Sonakshi Sinha slams ruling of mass confinement of stray dogs; calls out government hypocrisy Accompanying the post, Sonakshi wrote, “Day by Day we expose how soulless we have become as a society. Everyday is a disappointment.” The note she reposted explained in detail the plight of street dogs, describing them as “victims of fear, hunger, disease, neglect, cruelty, and abandonment.” It emphasized that these animals live without shelter, vaccination, or sterilization and are left to suffer on the streets, with many dying due to accidents or cruelty. The post called out the ruling’s plan to uproot dogs from their familiar surroundings and place them in overcrowded shelters — a move deemed “not animal welfare” but rather a denial of the dogs’ freedom and identity. Instead, it urged for humane solutions like spaying and vaccinating street dogs to control their population responsibly. In a separate post, Sonakshi also questioned the priorities of the authorities by pointing out the government’s failure to address more urgent civic concerns affecting Delhi NCR residents. The note read, “If dogs are your biggest threat, maybe it’s time to recheck your job description,” taking a jab at the apparent misplaced focus when issues like air pollution, women’s safety, cleanliness drives, public transport, and infrastructure remain pressing challenges. The recent government order to confine large numbers of stray dogs has sparked outrage among citizens and activists alike, intensifying calls for a rethink in policy. Sonakshi’s outspoken stance reflects growing discontent within the entertainment fraternity, as several other actors have also voiced their opposition to the government’s controversial and, many argue, brutal measures against the region’s stray dog population. Many celebrities are advocating for more compassionate and scientifically backed strategies rather than reactive policies that harm animals. As the controversy unfolds, Sonakshi Sinha’s passionate appeal adds to the mounting pressure on authorities to reconsider their approach and prioritize humane solutions — all while addressing the wider, critical issues that affect millions living in the capital region.

SCOOP: Coolie shows increased in multiplexes on popular demand; showcasing battle with War 2 gets intense

/

It’s all volatile in the film industry as the battle between War 2 (Hindi) and Coolie (Hindi) is getting more intense than anyone could ever imagine. In front of a juggernaut like War 2, Coolie is managing to make its way towards the audience. Earlier in the week, Bollywood Hungama explosively reported how YRF has bagged 100 percent showcasing in all single screens, dual screens, and triple screen properties across India, leaving just one/two shows for Coolie in the four-screen properties. SCOOP: Coolie shows increased in multiplexes on popular demand; showcasing battle with War 2 gets intense But all it took to change the tide was the advances. The last four days have seen a dynamic shift in showcasing, as the showcasing for Coolie is increasing with every single day. The film initially was slated to release with a capacity of Rs. 8 crore on the first day, but the good advance booking response has now increased the capacity by 60 percent to Rs. 13 crores. While War 2 will be leading in Hindi, there is a high possibility for Coolie to clock better occupancy in Hindi on the day of release, as the size remains to be lower than the demand. A leading multiplex player tells us on anonymity, “Coolie is doing well in the tier 2 and tier 3 centres, and hence we are increasing the shows for the film. There is a demand in the audience, and as service providers, we just have to match that.” Another cinema owner, who owns a two-screen property, told us, “We had strict orders from YRF not to give a single show to Coolie. However, we have now managed to get 2 shows of Coolie at our property, due to the audience demand, and it has started to sell tickets as well.” The names of cinema halls and multiplex chains have been kept under wraps to protect their financial interests, but the shows have already started to increase on the Book My Show platform.
