The Censor Board of Film Certification has cleared director Karthik Subbaraj’s eagerly awaited-action extravaganza ‘Retro’, featuring actors Suriya and Pooja Hegde in the lead, for release with a U/A certificate.

The film, which is scheduled to hit screens on May 1 this year, has a run time of Two hours 48 minutes and 30 seconds.

‘Retro’ has been one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year and a teaser released by the film unit some days ago has only gone on to add to the excitement.

Actor Riteish Deshmukh has announced an exciting opportunity for creative enthusiasts across the country.

Taking to social media, the star revealed that his production house, Mumbai Film Company, in collaboration with Jio Studios, is currently working on a film based on the life of one of India’s greatest warriors—Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The film is titled ‘Raja Shivaji.’ In his post, Riteish called upon artists and designers to showcase their skills. He invited submissions for a unique title logo that blends cultural depth with visual appeal. He added that due credit will be given to the selected designer whose work is chosen to represent the prestigious project.

Sharing his video, the ‘Masti’ actor wrote, “We @mumbaifilmcompany & @officialjiostudios are currently producing a film on the life of India’s greatest warrior, Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, titled ‘Raja Shivaji’.

Actor Sanjay Dutt, who will be soon seen in the upcoming movie ‘The Bhootnii’, has pointed out the difference in work culture of the film industry over the decades.

The actor recently spoke about his co-actors in the film, and how things have changed for the actors of the younger generation.

He said,”The young stars in the film are all extremely talented and they have been cast because they nailed the audition. Of course, there is a big difference between then and now. Today’s stars have the advantage of having a bound script with their dialogues being given to them much in advance”.

The film also stars Mouni Roy, Sunny Singh, Palak Tiwari, Beyouncik and Aasif Khan.

Fashion designer Manish Malhotra has shared yet another spellbinding moment featuring the evergreen Rekha, who looked ethereal in a handwoven Banarasi silk saree from his label.

Radiating timeless elegance, Rekha stunned in the richly crafted saree adorned with intricate gold and silver zari, beautifully offset by a delicate hint of pink. On Thursday, Malhotra posted a series of pictures featuring Rekha and captioned it, “There is always a REKHA about our Iconic and Stunning Rekhaji dressed in a handwoven Chartreuse Banarasi Kora silk sari with gold and silver zari accentuated with a delicate hint of pink #mymmsaree @manishmalhotraworld.”

Known for her deep admiration for Indian weaves, Rekha paid homage to tradition through her style. Notably, Manish Malhotra often shares Rekha’s photos, celebrating her timeless beauty and their shared love for traditional Indian craftsmanship.

In an exciting update, Sunny Deol has confirmed that he will be returning to the big screen with a powerful new mission in "Jaat 2."

On Thursday, the actor took to his Instagram handle to announce "Jaat 2," where he is all set to reprise his titular character in the highly anticipated sequel. Sharing the poster, Sunny wrote in the caption, “#Jaat on to a New Mission!#Jaat2.” The poster also highlighted the names of producers Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Y, and TG Vishwa Prasad, with Mythri Movie Makers continuing to support the sequel. While Sunny Deol's return has been confirmed, no further cast announcements have been made yet.

The upcoming action drama will be directed by Gopichand Malineni. Interestingly, Deol announced the sequel to the action-packed entertainer just a week after the release of the first installment in theaters.

As Sudhir Mishra's "Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi" marked its 20th anniversary of release on Wednesday, actress Chitrangda Singh took a walk down memory lane, reflecting on the film that introduced her to the world of cinema.

Recalling her first day on set, Chitrangda shared a heartfelt memory saying, “The first time I saw a proper movie camera was on my first day of shoot. It was the scene where KK’s character comes to meet (Geeta) in the guest house. It was an emotional, intimate moment and I was so nervous to block out everyone in the room and act with no dialogue. I can never forget that feeling. I think I got the shot in two or three takes and Sudhir Mishra just said, ‘Welcome to the movies, Chitrangda.’ I still remember that day so clearly - the excitement, the nervousness, the joy.”

Congratulations are in order for actress Sagarika Ghatge and Zaheer Khan, who have welcomed their baby boy into the world.

The couple took to Instagram to share the joyous news with a heartfelt post. On Wednesday, Sagarika posted a family portrait revealing the name of their baby boy: Fatehsinh Khan. The ‘Chak De’! India actress wrote, “With love, gratitude and divine blessings we welcome our precious little baby boy, Fatehsinh Khan.”

The heartwarming family picture captures Zaheer gently holding their newborn son in his lap, while Sagarika lovingly embraces him from behind. Another sweet photo offers a close-up glimpse of their baby boy’s tiny hand. Notably, the couple’s good news was met with an outpouring of love and heartfelt wishes from friends and celebrities, including Anushka Sharma, Athiya Shetty, Genelia D'Souza, former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, and many others from the film and sports fraternity.

From buying tickets for David Dhawan's film in black to being directed by him, life has truly come full circle for actor Maniesh Paul.

It might be exciting to know that years ago, Paul watched Dhawan's "Judwaa", starring Salman Khan at Delhi’s iconic Sapna Theatre, by getting tickets in black. The film left a lasting impression on him with its comedy, music, and Dhawan's trademark masala storytelling.

Like many film enthusiasts growing up in the '90s, Paul experienced cinema as a celebration, sometimes even going the extra mile to secure a seat for the biggest releases of the time. That memory has stayed with him — not just as a fan moment, but as a reminder of where it all began.

Turning back the clock, during a recent podcast, Paul said, "It was a very amazing feeling when David sir said me 'Action'. I was in 10th standard when 'Judwaa' released and I had purchased the ticket for the film in black at Sapna Theatre in Delhi. It was an experience watching David Sir's directorial on big-screen, getting tickets in black."

Actress Kalki Koechlin has talked about the pressures working moms face to balance career and family, often managing both professional duties and household responsibilities. She also spoke about the need for shared parenting and greater awareness of gender roles at home.

Asked as a working mother, how does she balance the emotional needs of her child with the demands of her career, especially in a world that still puts pressure on women to do it all?

Kalki told, “Yeah, there’s a lot of pressure to do it all. And the thing is, sometimes I can choose to be a supermom and do it all—there are days when I do just that.”

The actress said that she would wake up "at 6 A.M., take the dogs for a walk, prepare the oats and almond pancake her daughter loves for her school tiffin, send her off on the bus, get on a flight, and work all day."

Before capturing hearts on the big screen, actor Arjun Kapoor had an entirely different dream — one that placed him behind the camera rather than in front of it.

The actor recently opened up about his early passion for filmmaking, sharing how storytelling and direction were his first love before acting took center stage in his life. Expressing the same, Arjun shared, “It’s the magic trick of cinema that fascinates me. Not everything has to be logical — the conviction is what sells the illusion. I love watching Korean films and European movies. I wanted to be a filmmaker. RKRCKR was the most expensive film back then. I was enamored, and the joy of movies stayed. I was always inclined to making. I always want to know how the film comes together, and the process gives me joy."
