In the midst of all the controversy around her character and its portrayal in the Buchi Babu-directed Peddi, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that Janhvi Kapoor drew her biggest pay cheque for the film. According to reliable trade sources, the actress was paid a sum of Rs. 8 crores for the part of female lead alongside Ram Charan.

"This is the biggest pay cheque of her career, and she was a thorough professional on the sets of Peddi. She was paid Rs. 5 crores for Devara, and this is a jump of about 50 per cent from Devara. With back-to-back success in the Telugu film industry with Devara and Peddi, Janhvi is considered to be the woman with a golden leg in the fraternity, commanding a 100 per cent success ratio," a trade source informed Bollywood Hungama.

The source further added that Janhvi will next be seen in Atlee-directed Raka alongside Allu Arjun. In Hindi, she will next be seen in Lag Ja Gale with Tiger Shroff and Lakshya. "Janhvi is offered multiple projects in Telugu now, and the pay cheque for Peddi has set the benchmark high," the trade source added.

Peddi is a success story in Telugu, though the Hindi version failed to make any noise.

https://ift.tt/4Xz1PR7

Hrithik Roshan has added another significant milestone to his illustrious career by signing with Anonymous Content, the renowned global media company known for producing premium content and representing some of the world's most acclaimed directors, writers, and actors.

One of Indian cinema's most celebrated stars, Roshan has carved a remarkable legacy over the past two-and-a-half decades with a string of blockbuster films and critically acclaimed performances. The actor is widely recognized for headlining the successful Krrish superhero franchise, where he plays the titular superhero, as well as the action thriller War, in which he essayed the role of a rogue spy agent. His filmography also includes landmark films such as Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, directed by Zoya Akhtar, and Karan Johar’s family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

Roshan's journey to superstardom began in 2000 with Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, the blockbuster action-romance that instantly established him as a household name across India. Since then, he has remained one of the country's most bankable stars, consistently delivering memorable performances and commercially successful films.

Raised in a film family, Hrithik Roshan has emerged as one of the foremost leading men of Indian cinema. Over a career spanning more than two decades, his films have collectively grossed over $600 million worldwide. He has also received multiple Filmfare Award nominations, winning six awards for Best Actor. Notably, he remains the only Indian actor to win both the Best Debut and Best Actor Filmfare Awards for the same film, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai. In 2006, he won both the Critics' Choice and Popular Choice Best Actor awards at the Filmfare Awards for Koi… Mil Gaya. Apart from his acting prowess, Roshan is also celebrated for his dance performances, many of which have enjoyed immense popularity among audiences.

On the work front, the actor will next be seen reprising his iconic role in Krrish 4, the latest instalment in the blockbuster superhero franchise.

Beyond acting, Roshan is also expanding his presence as a producer. He is currently producing Storm, a high-stakes thriller for Prime Video under his banner HRX Films, marking his debut as a producer. Prime Video India and HRX Films have also announced Mess, a comedy feature that marks the second collaboration between the streaming platform and Roshan's production house following Storm.

The actor is also the founder of HRX, one of India's leading fitness and athleisure brands and among the country's most successful actor-led ventures.

Despite his new international association, Roshan will continue to be represented in India by Collective Artists Network.

EXCLUSIVE: After 2 weeks of backlash, CBFC springs a pleasant surprise this week; clears Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Haunted - Echoes Of The Past, Backrooms with ZERO cuts

https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/EXCLUSIVE-After-2-weeks-of-backlash-CBFC-springs-a-pleasant-surprise-this-week-clears-Bharat-Bhhagya-Viddhaata-Haunted-–-Echoes-Of-The-Past-Backrooms-with-ZERO-cuts.jpeg

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has faced heavy scrutiny in the last two weeks. The cuts given to Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Bandar were criticized. Meanwhile, CBFC asked for cuts in two crucial scenes in Obsession and it led to a huge uproar on social media which continued for many days. Meanwhile, this week, the CBFC has sprung a pleasant surprise by passing three crucial films with zero cuts.

The Kangana Ranaut-starrer Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, based on the 26/11 terror attacks, was passed with a U/A 16+ rating on May 29. Despite a thriller film with violent scenes, the CBFC’s Examining Committee (EC) found no reason to ask for any cuts.

The length of Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 127.13 minutes. In other words, the film is 2 hours, 7 minutes and 13 seconds long.

Vikram Bhatt returns with Haunted – Echoes Of The Past this week. Like Haunted (2011), this horror film will also be released in 3D. It has been rated ‘A’ and usually, such films are peppered with intimate and horrifying scenes that face scissor cuts.

However, Haunted – Echoes Of The Past is an exception and hasn’t faced any visual or audio cut. The length of the Mimoh Chakraborty-starrer, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 138.54 minutes. In other words, the film is 2 hours, 18 minutes and 54 seconds long. It was passed by the CBFC yesterday, on June 9.

Finally, Backrooms was given an ‘A’ rating by the CBFC on June 8 with no cuts. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 110.54 minutes. In other words, the sci-fi psychological horror Hollywood flick is 1 hour, 50 minutes and 54 seconds long.

There’s some curiosity to see Backrooms as, like Obsession, it has emerged as a sleeper blockbuster. However, viewers are expected to watch the film before being jubilant about no-cuts. This is because there’s a fear that the studio may have voluntarily blurred or removed certain disturbing shots before submitting the film to the CBFC.

The announcement was made along with the unveiling of the film’s striking gold logo, further building excitement around what promises to be one of the biggest comedy entertainers of next year.

Interestingly, Bollywood Hungama had earlier reported about the possibility of the film shifting its release date. A source had revealed, “Dhamaal 4 was originally scheduled to arrive in cinemas on July 17. It'll now release a week earlier, on July 10. There has been buzz in the trade that Alpha is releasing on July 3. So, the July 10 slot is now vacant and hence, the makers of Dhamaal 4 decided to take up the date. They feel that July 10 is apt for their film and would be a treat for the fans as they'll get to see the comic caper a week earlier.”

With the official announcement now in place, the film is poised to capitalize on a favourable release window and attract audiences looking for wholesome entertainment.

Directed by Indra Kumar, Dhamaal 4 is backed by an impressive team of producers including Ajay Devgn, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Indra Kumar, Anand Pandit and Kumar Mangat Pathak. The film is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with Devgn Films and is a production of T-Series Films, Maruti International and Panorama Studios.

As anticipation continues to build, Dhamaal 4 is shaping up to be one of 2026’s most-awaited comedy releases, promising audiences bigger laughs, crazier adventures and the trademark madness that has made the franchise a fan favourite for years.

Alpha Teaser: Alia Bhatt unleashes her fiercest avatar yet as Bobby Deol trains her for a deadly secret mission in YRF Spy Universe

https://ift.tt/l7VLEyx

Yash Raj Films has finally unveiled the much-anticipated teaser of Alpha, offering audiences their first look into the action-packed world of its female spy protagonist. Released on June 10, the sleek and stylish teaser introduces Alia Bhatt in a never-seen-before avatar, showcasing her transformation into a highly trained operative prepared for a dangerous mission.

The teaser opens with an intriguing father-daughter dynamic between Bobby Deol and Alia Bhatt. Bobby’s character, whom Alia affectionately addresses as “Baba,” appears to have adopted and raised her with a singular purpose. On her 18th birthday, he presents her with a gift that marks the beginning of a life-altering mission, one she has seemingly been preparing for since childhood.

As the teaser unfolds, Bobby’s character reveals his vision of creating the next generation of soldiers. Through intense training sessions, combat drills, and survival exercises, he molds Alia into a formidable fighter. Convinced that she is destined for greatness, he repeatedly reminds her that she is “Alpha” — a title that appears to carry significant importance within the film’s narrative.

While the makers have chosen to keep the central mission under wraps, the teaser offers plenty of adrenaline-fueled moments. Alia is seen performing hand-to-hand combat, executing high-risk action sequences, and taking on enemies with remarkable precision. The visual treatment and action choreography evoke comparisons to global spy-action franchises, reminiscent of films such as Black Widow and Charlie’s Angels, while retaining the scale and flair associated with the YRF Spy Universe.

Interestingly, the teaser focuses almost entirely on Bobby Deol and Alia Bhatt, keeping the roles of other key cast members a mystery. Fans are still awaiting a glimpse of Sharvari and Anil Kapoor, both of whom are expected to play pivotal roles in the film.

For the unversed, Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail, marks the first female-led chapter in Yash Raj Films’ ambitious Spy Universe, which already includes blockbuster franchises such as Tiger, Pathaan, and War. Reports have also suggested that Hrithik Roshan’s popular spy character Kabir Dhaliwal from the War franchise could make a special appearance in the film, although the makers have remained tight-lipped about the speculation.

With Alpha slated to release on July 3, the teaser has successfully heightened anticipation among fans. Packed with mystery, action, and emotional undertones, the first glimpse sets the stage for what could be one of the most exciting additions to the YRF Spy Universe. All eyes are now on the trailer, which is expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

Akansha Ranjan Kapoor to marry Sharan Sharma on July 11; reception details revealed

https://ift.tt/mryiAUR

Actress Akansha Ranjan Kapoor is all set to embark on a new chapter in her life as she prepares to tie the knot with filmmaker Sharan Sharma. Known for her performance in Netflix's Guilty and Monica O My Darling, Akansha has reportedly been in a long-term relationship with the Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl director, although the couple has largely kept their romance away from the public eye.

While Akansha had earlier confirmed their relationship, the couple has hardly followed the trend of posting content with each other on social media. However, the duo has often been spotted attending private gatherings, close-knit celebrations, and social events together over the years.

Now, reports suggest that wedding bells are finally ringing for the couple. According to a source who spoke exclusively to Hindustan Times, Akansha and Sharan are set to get married next month. “Akansha and Sharan are getting married on July 11 followed with a wedding reception on July 12. The reception will take place in JW Marriott and hosted by the boy’s side,” the source was quoted saying.

While details about the wedding festivities remain under wraps, it is being reported that the couple is keen on keeping the celebrations intimate and personal. In an era where celebrity weddings often become grand public spectacles, Akansha and Sharan appear to be taking a more private route.

Sources indicate that the couple has chosen to send out e-invites instead of traditional printed invitations. The digital-first approach aligns with their preference for a low-key ceremony attended only by close family members and a select group of friends. Despite the wedding taking place in Mumbai, the guest list is expected to remain limited.

Akansha, who has steadily carved a niche for herself in the entertainment industry, and Sharan, who earned acclaim for directing Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Mr and Mrs Mahi among others, have maintained a relatively private personal life. As they get ready to exchange vows next month, fans and well-wishers are eagerly awaiting more details from what promises to be one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the season.
