Recently, Taapsee Pannu spoke to Bollywood Hungama, and said that she is grateful for Dunki coming her way. "I am so happy and glad that it is this film I am doing with Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan. I will not shy away when the film releases thinking 'Sirf hero ke liye kar li ya or because of Raju sir kar li'. Who wouldn't want to be in an SRK film? I was lucky that I got this one which has such a pivotal part. It is more than whatever you have seen any female actor do in a Raju sir film," she said.

The film is backed by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chilies Entertainment. Dunki will be released on the big screen on December 22, 2023.

Alia Bhatt weighs in on north vs south debate: 'The lens today is hard on cinema in general'

Alia Bhatt is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the ongoing debate of north vs south cinema. Over the past few months, south films have done exceptionally well while Hindi films are facing trouble when it comes to box office. But, the actress says regardless of the language, if the film's content is good, it will be appreciated by the audience.

Alia Bhatt, whose last film Gangubai Kathiawadi worked well at the box office, spoke to Indian Express and said, “It’s a tough year for Indian cinema. We should be a little kind to Hindi films. Today, we are sitting here and saying, ‘Oh Bollywood, oh Hindi cinema…’. But are we counting the films that have done well this year? Even in the south industry, all their films have not worked. Some of the films have worked, and they are very good films. But similarly over here, starting with my film, Gangubai Kathiawadi, have worked and done very well.” The actress admitted that the film industry is recovering from the losses faced during the pandemic but added,  “A good film will always do well.”

“The lens today is hard on cinema in general because we are coming post-pandemic. The theaters were shut for almost two years, so there is sort of assessment, ‘What are the films that are going to work in the theaters?’, ‘What are the films which are working in general?’. Good content will always do well, but now we are re-assessing what are the films that we are going to put into a theatre, what are the films that will release directly on an OTT platform, and what is the general consumer habit? So, we are just understanding that. But, it doesn’t mean that Hindi cinema is over. This ain’t happening,” Alia said at Express Adda.

Alia Bhatt is busy promoting Darlings. The film is all set to premiere on 5th August 2022 on Netflix. The film marks the debut of Alia Bhatt as a co-producer. Darlings is produced by Gauri Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Gaurav Verma and marks the feature film debut for director Jasmeet K Reen. With a versatile cast including Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew in lead roles, Darlings is a dark comedy entertainer brimming with secrets, mystery, and drama. The film delves into the lives of a resilient mother-daughter, fighting for love and finding their footing in Mumbai whilst also battling their demons.

Shahid Kapoor and Ali Abbas Zafar film Bloody Daddy to release exclusively on Voot Select

Known for trying out new projects, Shahid Kapoor has always experimented with his choice of films. From playing the macho crazy lover to a cricketer, the actor recently was seen in varied roles. And now we have some information about his film with Sultan director Ali Abbas Zafar. The film, which is titled Bloody Daddy, has finalized its OTT platform and it will be on Voot Select.

As per recent reports the makers have decided to skip the theatrical release as it will exclusively premiere on Voot Select. Even though they haven’t finalized the date, if these reports are to be believed, they have decided to release it in the final quarter of the year. For the uninitiated, Bloody Daddy is expected to be a remake of the 2011 French film Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Nights) starring Tomer Sisley. The action thriller will feature Shahid Kapoor as a loving father, who is on the run to save his child from the mafia.

As per a source quote on Bollywood Hungama, “The action saga has Shahid playing a father who tries to save his child and involves a lot of blood and gore, so the title suits the film. It's a tentative working title but in all probabilities, this would be the title they lock." Well this is not the first time Nuit Blanche is remade in India, since it was already remade in Tamil and Telugu with Kamal Haasan as Thoongaa Vanam and Cheekati Rajyam respectively.

Speaking about Shahid Kapoor, the Jersey actor will also be making his OTT series debut with Farzi that is directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. On the other hand, this is Ali Abbas Zafar’s next project after the Saif Ali Khan, Dimple Kapadia starrer Tandav which released on Amazon Prime.
