https://ift.tt/QtEirV3

Tabu has reportedly added another premium address to her portfolio with the purchase of a luxury apartment in Mumbai’s sought-after Versova locality. According to property documents accessed through Liases Foras, the acclaimed actress has bought a new residence at Godrej Skyshore in Andheri West for Rs. 10 crores.

The apartment is said to be spread across 2,153 sq. ft., making it a sizeable acquisition in one of Mumbai’s most competitive residential markets. A notable feature of the property is its spacious balcony area of approximately 127 sq. ft., considered a rare and highly valued amenity in the city where outdoor private space is often limited.

As per the available documents, the transaction was reportedly registered on March 26, 2026. The actress is said to have paid a stamp duty of Rs. 5.24 lakhs along with a registration fee of Rs. 30,000. The deal also includes two dedicated parking spaces, adding further value to the premium purchase.

Located in Versova, one of Mumbai’s preferred residential pockets for film personalities and high-profile buyers, Godrej Skyshore is positioned as an upscale development with a focus on privacy and coastal living. Spread across 1.5 acres, the project consists of one iconic tower with two wings and approximately 120 units.

The official description of the development highlights its premium positioning, stating, “A shoreline sanctuary shaped by the timeless dance of earth and sea, Godrej Skyshore emerges with quiet elegance along Mumbai’s western coast. Where the rhythm of the waves meets architectural finesse, strength and serenity converge - creating a legacy address poised to reshape the landscape of Versova.”

Versova and Andheri West continue to remain popular among actors, producers and entertainment industry professionals due to their proximity to studios, production offices and the city’s creative hubs. Tabu’s latest purchase further reinforces the area’s status as a preferred destination for celebrity homeowners.

On the professional front, Tabu was recently seen in Bhooth Bangla, that hit theatres on Friday, April 17. Directed by Priyadarshan, it marked her reunion with Akshay Kumar after nearly two decades and featured her in the role of Yashoda Acharya.

With a celebrated career spanning acclaimed performances and commercial successes, Tabu’s latest real estate move once again places her in the spotlight — this time for a high-value property investment in Mumbai’s premium housing market.

Deepika Padukone has delighted fans with a major personal announcement. The actress has revealed that she is expecting her second child with husband Ranveer Singh, sharing the news through a heartfelt Instagram post that quickly went viral across social media.

Keeping the announcement understated and intimate, Deepika posted a picture featuring daughter Dua holding a positive pregnancy test kit. The little one’s face was carefully concealed in the frame, maintaining the couple’s continued preference for privacy when it comes to their family life. Instead of words, Deepika captioned the post with two nazar amulets, allowing the image itself to convey the happy news.

Within minutes of the upload, fans and members of the film fraternity flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages for the couple, who remain among Bollywood’s most-loved celebrity pairs.

Deepika and Ranveer’s journey together has long captured public attention. After several years of dating privately, the duo tied the knot in a lavish two-day ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, on November 14 and 15, 2018. Their wedding beautifully celebrated both Konkani and Sindhi traditions, reflecting their respective family roots.

The couple entered a new chapter in 2024 when they jointly announced they were expecting their first child. On February 29 that year, Deepika and Ranveer shared a coordinated social media post featuring baby shoes and clothing, confirming that their baby would arrive in September.

On September 8, 2024, the actors welcomed their daughter in Mumbai. They later revealed her name as Dua Padukone Singh, a name symbolising “prayer,” which was widely appreciated by fans for its emotional significance.

Now, with the announcement of a second pregnancy, the couple appears ready to embrace parenthood once again. The latest post has also reignited excitement among admirers who have closely followed Deepika and Ranveer’s decade-long relationship journey.

On the professional front, Deepika has maintained a relatively low profile after the birth of Dua, with fans awaiting updates on her return to the big screen. The actress is reportedly attached to several upcoming projects, though no formal comeback date has been confirmed.

For now, however, it is this personal milestone that has everyone talking. With one simple post, Deepika Padukone has once again managed to create a memorable moment online — and given fans another reason to celebrate with the Padukone-Singh family.

SCOOP: Sunny Deol-Aamir Khan-Rajkumar Santoshi's Lahore 1947 likely to be renamed Batwara 1947

https://ift.tt/FDMB5x4

In February 2026, Bollywood Hungama had reported that the makers of Lahore 1947 are looking for a change of title. We have now learned from sources that the film is likely to be rechristened as Batwara 1947.

An article in Mid-Day on April 17 mentioned that the period drama has been tentatively titled as Batwara 1947. A source told Bollywood Hungama, "The makers prefer the title Batwara 1947. In all probability, this would be the title of the film once all the stakeholders agree to it. A clearer picture will emerge in a few weeks on this front."

In February 2026, Bollywood Hungama carried a quote from a source that stated, "Lahore 1947 is based on the famous play ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya’. Since the film is set in the Pakistani city and during the Independence period, the title Lahore 1947 was initially deemed suitable. But now the makers feel that there can be a better title that is apt for the story of the film."

The film will release in cinemas on August 13, that is, in the Independence Day week.

The play, ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya’, was written by Syed Asghar Wajahat in 1980. The Partition-era story revolves around a Muslim family which migrates from Lucknow to Lahore and is allotted a haveli vacated by a Hindu family. The old Hindu matriarch refuses to leave her ancestral home and she also strikes a rare bond with the Muslim immigrants.

Lahore 1947 or Batwara 1947 is highly awaited as it reunites Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi and moreover, it is produced by Aamir Khan. Aamir will also be seen in the film in a supporting role and it also stars Preity Zinta, Ali Fazal and Shabana Azmi. Due to the stellar team and Sunny’s booming track record (that got a boost with the success of Border 2), the period drama is expected to set the cash registers ringing.

EXCLUSIVE: Fact Check - Hrithik Roshan, Siddharth Anand's Fighter sequel is NOT in the making

https://ift.tt/jg64zFf

Recently, an Instagram handle put up a news that a sequel to Fighter (2024) is being made and that the film would go on floors this year. On this post, Fighter's director and one of the producers, Siddharth Anand, commented with an evil eye emoticon. It was seen by many as a confirmation that the piece of news about Fighter 2 is indeed true.

However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that there's absolutely no truth to Fighter 2 speculations. A source close to Hrithik Roshan said, "There is no discussion between Hrithik and Siddharth regarding Fighter 2. These rumours are baseless."

Hrithik Roshan recently announced two projects as a producer, under the banner name of HRX Films. The actor has taken up an active role of creatively developing the web series Storm and the comedy film Mess, both backed by Amazon Prime Video. Alongside his duties as a Producer, Hrithik has been busy with the pre-production of his much awaited Krrish 4. Hrithik will be directing the superhero saga, a first for him. He's also collaborating with KGF and Kantara's production house, Hombale Films for an ambitious project.

Meanwhile, Siddharth Anand is busy shooting for King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Suhana Khan, Anil Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Raghav Juyal, Akshay Oberoi, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Jackie Shroff, Abhay Verma, Saurabh Shukla and others. It's exciting first look teaser was launched on November 2, on the occasion of Shah Rukh Khan's 60th birthday. The film arrives in cinemas on December 24, 2026.

About Fighter

Fighter, set in 2019, tells the story of an Indian Air Force unit called Air Dragons, comprising Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania aka Patty (Hrithik Roshan), Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka Minni (Deepika Padukone), Squadron Leader Sartaj Gill (Karan Singh Grover), Squadron Leader Basheer Khan (Akshay Oberoi), Sukhi (Banveen Singh) and others. It is headed by Rakesh Jai Singh aka Rocky (Anil Kapoor). It is this unit which successfully destroys a military base at Balakot in Pakistan after the ghastly Pulwama attack. Patty and his team also fight with the terrorist mastermind, Azhar Akhtar (Rishabh Ravinder Sawhney), leading to disastrous consequences. What happens next forms the crux of the story.

As Dhurandhar revives Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's magic, here's how his ICONIC creation featured in Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan-starrers just 9 months apart

https://ift.tt/GjkrB6Y

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is back in sharp focus for Hindi film audiences, thanks to Dhurandhar The Revenge. The recently released film has revived not one but two compositions associated with the legendary singer – ‘Jaan Se Guzarte Hain’ and ‘Man Atkeya Beparwah De Naal’, making Nusrat saab’s timeless sound a talking point all over again. It has once again reminded audiences of the emotional power and spiritual pull that only Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s music could carry.

Interestingly, this renewed fascination also takes one back to an important chapter in Bollywood’s long relationship with Nusrat saab’s music. On April 18, 2026, Koyla completes 29 years, having originally been released on April 18, 1997. The Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit starrer featured the unforgettable ‘Saanson Ki Mala’, a film adaptation that brought Nusrat saab’s immortal composition into a dramatic mainstream Bollywood setting. Even today, the song remains one of the most haunting and distinctive musical moments in the film’s album.

What makes this even more fascinating is that Koyla wasn’t the first major Hindi film to tap into the magic of ‘Saanson Ki Mala’. 9 months earlier, the same composition had also been used in Jeet (1996), the Sunny Deol-Karisma Kapoor-Salman Khan starrer. In other words, before Shah Rukh Khan’s Koyla turned it into a widely remembered cinematic moment for an entire generation, the song had already made its way into a major Bollywood film vehicle led by Sunny Deol.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan already had a fan base in India and it became bigger with the song 'Afreen Afreen' from the album Sangam in 1996. He composed songs for two films – Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya (1997) and Kachchhe Dhaage (1999), while also singing the cult track 'Dulhe Ka Sehra' from Dhadkan (2000).

As was the trend at that time, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was never credited for the recreations in Jeet or Koyla. Interestingly, ‘Saanson Ki Mala’ was recreated for the third time, in Yaariyan 2 (2023). This time, the legendary musician was duly credited.

EXCLUSIVE: Sunny Deol-starrer Gabru postponed; won’t release on May 8

https://ift.tt/oFtbDR3

Sunny Deol's stardom went on another level with the blockbuster success of Gadar 2 (2023). His next, Jaat (2025), also had a decent trend at the box office, proving that the success of Gadar 2 was not a fluke. The veteran star began 2026 on a rocking note with the Rs. 300 crore plus grosser, Border 2. As a result, expectations are tremendous for his next film, Gabru. The film was scheduled for release on May 8 and fans will have to wait a little more to experience the emotional drama as it has been pushed further ahead.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Gabru has been postponed and won’t arrive in cinemas on May 8. The makers plan to lock the new release date in a few days, after which they’ll make an official announcement.”

Earlier, Gabru was supposed to release on March 13 and was postponed to May 8, possibly because the holy month of Ramzan was going on and moreover, the much-awaited film, Dhurandhar The Revenge, was to arrive in cinemas 6 days later, on March 19.

Gabru is directed by Shashank Udapurkar and produced by Vishal Rana. In November 2025, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to break the news that Salman Khan has an entertaining and extended cameo. At that time, a source told us, “There was a requirement of a star and the makers knew that Salman Khan fit the bill completely. Salman was approached and he loved the part and its contribution to the film. He quietly shot the film more than a year ago and it has shaped up well. His cameo in Gabru is all heart. It is adorable and also highly entertaining. He has 3 scenes in total and hence, it’s an extended special appearance.”

Meanwhile, the May 8 slot is taken up by Aakhri Sawal and Dadi Ki Shaadi. The former stars Sanjay Dutt, Neetu Chandra, Namashi Chakraborty, Amit Sadh, Sameera Reddy and Tridha Choudhury while the former features Kapil Sharma, Neetu Kapoor and Sadia Khateeb.

It now remains to be seen when Gabru arrives in cinemas, as several significant mid-sized and big films are up for release from June to August. August will also see the release of Sunny Deol’s another much-awaited film, Lahore 1947. It is produced by Aamir Khan and is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. Sunny’s other confirmed release in 2026 is Ramayana. It’ll release on Diwali and will present the actor as Lord Hanuman.
