Tamannaah to Play Jayshree Gadkar in V. Shantaram Biopic
Tamannaah, who has recently been busy with item numbers in several Bollywood films, is now stepping into a substantial acting role in an upcoming Hindi biopic.
She will portray yesteryear Hindi and Marathi actress Jayshree Gadkar in the biographical drama on legendary filmmaker V. Shantaram. For context, Jayshree Gadkar was Shantaram’s second wife and a celebrated actress of her era.
The makers released Tamannaah’s first look poster from the film, showcasing her in an elegant saree against a vintage movie backdrop. She exudes the aura of a classic actress, perfectly capturing the essence of the era. Sharing the poster, the team wrote: “Jayashree – The star of an era. The strength behind a legacy. A chapter returning to history.”
Throughout her career, Tamannaah has predominantly been seen in glamorous roles and, more recently, item numbers in films like Stree 2, Raid 2, and other Bollywood projects. This biopic gives her an opportunity to display her acting prowess in a character-driven role. Given her track record whenever she has embraced strong, substantial roles, audiences can expect a compelling performance from her in the V. Shantaram biopic.

Rajkumar Hirani to Direct 3 Idiots Sequel with Aamir Khan
Sequels continue to be the flavour of the season in Indian cinema. While some directors plan sequels immediately after the first installment, others revive scripts from their iconic past hits. Bollywood largely follows the latter approach.
Now, acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani is joining the sequel trend. According to reliable sources, Hirani is preparing to work on the sequel to his cult blockbuster 3 Idiots, the 2009 college drama starring Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi. Reports suggest that Hirani has completed the script, and the project is expected to go on floors soon.
3 Idiots was a massive hit upon release, leaving a lasting impact on audiences and securing its place as one of the most beloved films in Indian cinema. The announcement of a sequel has already generated huge buzz nationwide.
However, replicating the magic after such a long gap presents challenges. Convincing the current generation, who have seen numerous films in a similar genre across languages since 3 Idiots, will not be easy. Additionally, the expectations for this sequel are enormous, putting pressure on Hirani to deliver a film that lives up to the hype.
After 3 Idiots, Hirani delivered major hits with PK and Sanju. His latest film, Dunki, received mixed reviews and had moderate box office performance. He was also slated to collaborate with Aamir Khan for a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke, but that project was put on hold for unknown reasons. Now, Hirani is reviving his long-pending idea of a 3 Idiots sequel with Aamir Khan.
Fans and critics alike are eagerly waiting to see if Hirani and Aamir Khan can recreate the magic and deliver a sequel that lives up to the high expectations surrounding this beloved classic.
Silence on Akhanda 2 Release Date Troubles Small Movies
Akhanda 2 was initially scheduled for release on December 5, but the team postponed it at the last minute, promising to announce a new date soon. Since then, there has been no official update, creating uncertainty for several smaller films slated for December releases.
Reports suggest that the Akhanda 2 team is considering two possible dates: December 12 and December 25. December 12 would allow the film to capitalize on its current buzz, while December 25 offers the advantage of a holiday weekend, potentially boosting box office collections.
The delay has put smaller films in a difficult spot. Titles like Mowgli, Psych Siddhartha, and Eesha are all scheduled for December 12. With limited time left, these producers are unsure whether to continue promotions, as a clash with a major release like Akhanda 2 could render their marketing efforts and budgets ineffective.
Mowgli actor Bandi Saroj, who plays the antagonist, openly criticised 14 Reels Plus for the delay. He stated that the silence is affecting producers, fans, and distributors, and urged the team to confirm the release date.
The delay is reportedly due to ongoing legal procedures related to the film’s release, slowing down the decision-making process. Current reports indicate that December 12 is the more likely release date. Small films will now have to decide whether to proceed with their planned release or adjust their schedules if Akhanda 2 occupies the weekend.
Rajinikanth Announces Padayappa 2 Focused on Neelambari
Superstar Rajinikanth’s 1999 blockbuster Padayappa remains one of the most iconic films in his illustrious career and in South Indian cinema. While Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life performance was unforgettable, Ramya Krishna’s menacing portrayal of the negative character Neelambari stole the show.
To celebrate his fifty years in cinema, Padayappa is set to return to theaters on December 12, coinciding with Rajinikanth’s birthday. The superstar himself has actively promoted the re-release, sharing his experiences from the film in a recent video interview.
In a major surprise, Rajinikanth revealed that a sequel, Padayappa 2, is in the works. Interestingly, the sequel will focus on the iconic Neelambari character played by Ramya Krishna. Fans of the original will recall the tremendous impact of Neelambari, making this announcement even more intriguing.
While Rajinikanth’s revelation has created a huge buzz among audiences, it has also sparked curiosity about the story and the likelihood of the sequel coming to life.

Prabhas’s Horror Thriller The Raja Saab: Thaman Teases Second Single
Music director Thaman, who is composing for director Maruthi’s highly anticipated horror entertainer The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas in the lead, has shared an exciting update about the film’s second single, Sahana Sahana.
Taking to X, Thaman posted a short, engaging clip hinting at what fans can expect from the track. He described it as an “uber cool melody” that Prabhas will be seen singing to Nidhhi Agarwal in the film. Thaman wrote, “Second single from #TheRajaSaab is getting ready. An Uber Cool Melody from #RebelSaab’s Heart for his Cutie @AgerwalNidhhi. #SahanaSahana #TheRajaSaabSecondSingle Beautifully written by @kk_lyricist. Yow!! This will make your drive and your hard drive tripping.”
The makers have confirmed that The Raja Saab is scheduled for a grand worldwide release on January 9, 2025, as a Sankranti attraction. The film has already created massive buzz among fans, fueled by a spine-chilling yet well-edited trailer.
The trailer opens with Prabhas being hypnotised to recall his past, only to sense a mysterious presence lurking in the dark. While the film promises intense horror, it also balances humour, as seen in a scene where a perplexed VTV Ganesh questions the need to meet a spirit, to which Prabhas responds, “Then, what are you waiting for? Run!”
The film combines romance, action, humour, and horror, promising a complete cinematic experience. Sanjay Dutt’s character is introduced as a formidable exorcist, hypnotist, and psychiatrist, whose manipulations challenge the protagonists’ minds. The trailer also reveals Prabhas portraying a demon, stylishly smoking a cigar while seated upside down on a throne, delivering the dialogue, “What’s your problem? Am I an ant to sting you when you reach into the anthill? I’m the demon.”
The Raja Saab is generating high expectations, marking Prabhas’s first full-fledged horror entertainer. The film features cinematography by Karthik Palani and music by Thaman S. The cast includes Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar, who are expected to bring charm, elegance, and freshness to the eerie yet vibrant world of the film.
