SCOOP: Ajay Devgn’s horror film likely to be titled Griha Pravesh

Ajay Devgn’s association with horror and supernatural cinema has always been significant. His foray into horror began with Bhoot (2003) and he followed it up with Kaal (2005). Golmaal Again (2017) was a highly successful horror comedy before the genre became mainstream. Exactly two years ago, his supernatural flick, Shaitaan (2024), co-starring R Madhavan and Jyotika, worked big time at the box office. And now, the versatile actor is working on yet another horror film. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers are toying with the idea of naming the film Griha Pravesh. Another title that has caught their eye is Vaastu Shastra. But it's Griha Pravesh that they feel is apt for the film and the subject. A final call will be taken in the near future, after which the makers will make an official announcement.” The source further said, “Ajay Devgn will shoot the film in the United Kingdom in a start-to-finish schedule. The team is already planning meticulously to ensure that they are...

The amount Aditya Dhar was spending per day on shooting Uri, he was spending almost 11 to 12 lakhs lesser than that every day on shooting Dhurandhar. As Aditya told me, it was insanity the way they have pulled off this film. What is the cost of shooting the actual end product? How much did it cost? Aditya told me it's about Rs. 255 crores. Yes, both the films together cost a paltry Rs 255 crores to shoot. Originally, it was meant to be one film only. But an 8-hour film seemed out of the question. Hence, Dhurandhar was split into two. The length increased as the film was being shot. Because Aditya realized that the small montages were turning into big, big scenes. And those big scenes were turning out to be highlights, one after the other. So, what to cut? Aditya explained to me, “A scene that was meant to be for say 10 seconds, it actually required two minutes.” To take an example, there was the scene in which Major Iqbal is introduced. Arjun Rampal's character is introduced...

A legal tussle surrounding the Hera Pheri franchise has come into focus, with Vijay Kumar asserting complete ownership over the intellectual property, as his dispute with producer Firoz Nadiadwala continues in court. In a candid interaction with Pinkvilla, Vijay Kumar laid out his stance on the matter, claiming that the rights to the franchise have always remained with his side.

Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan’s health takes a toll on his forthcoming project

Salman Khan breathed a sigh of relief when his father, Salim Khan, returned home from the hospital. However, the worst may not be over yet, as the Khan patriarch is still a long way from recovery. A source very close to the family reveals, “In fact, Salim Saab is very, very unwell. At 92, full recovery from his neurological condition is unlikely. We can only hope for the best. The family is taking him home so he can be comfortable with his loved ones. Otherwise, it is pretty much a replay of what happened with Dharmendra some months ago. We are all praying and hoping for the best.” A close friend of Salman Khan adds that the actor has taken his father’s health decline “very badly.” “Salman is extremely upset. His equation with his father is well known to those close to the family. He is unable to focus on anything but his father’s health. And yet, he continues to work on Maatrabhumi, navigating post-production while visibly distressed—snapping, sulking, and struggling to stay compos...
