Vijay Deverakonda rang in the New Year 2026 with a social media post that instantly caught fans’ attention and set speculation buzzing once again. On New Year’s Eve, the Arjun Reddy star shared a series of pictures from his Rome vacation, subtly addressing the curiosity around his whereabouts after Rashmika Mandanna’s recent holiday photos from the Italian city went viral. The carousel featured glimpses of Vijay soaking in the European charm — from a relaxed train ride to striking visuals in front of Rome’s iconic Colosseum. The actor was seen posing with his friends, keeping the post casual yet visually evocative. What particularly stood out to fans was the unmistakable similarity between the locations in Vijay’s pictures and those Rashmika had shared just days earlier. Vijay captioned the post with a heartfelt New Year message, writing, “Happy new year my darling loves… May we grow up together, make great memories, do great things, spread love, cheer and life. Biggest kisses and ...

The year 2026 will begin on a thrilling and erotic note for Indian cinegoers, thanks to the release of The Housemaid . The film released in the West on December 19 and has been appreciated for its subject, twists and turns and performances, especially that of Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. However, Indian audiences may be disappointed to learn that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has edited out a significant portion of the film’s intimate scenes. The CBFC awarded The Housemaid an ‘A’ certificate on December 4 after asking for some modifications. The words ‘b***h’, ‘c**t’ and ‘motherf****r’ were muted, as per the recommendations of the Examining Committee. Secondly, the studio partner was asked to delete ‘nudity visuals of women’s breasts…whenever it occurs’. As a result, a whopping 8 minutes of screen time have been axed, the longest cut due to censor diktats in recent times. Bollywood Hungama has learned that a long, intense lovemaking scene involving Sydney S...

The much-anticipated Pan-India film Spirit , bringing together director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas for the first time, has officially kicked off 2026 with a major reveal. As the clock struck midnight welcoming the New Year, the makers unveiled the first look of the film, instantly sending fans into a frenzy and reaffirming the project’s status as one of the most talked-about upcoming releases. Spirit has been under the spotlight ever since its announcement, largely due to the powerful combination of Prabhas and Vanga, both known for delivering intense, high-impact cinema. The first-look reveal at the turn of the year was a calculated promotional move, and one that Vanga has successfully employed in the past. Ahead of the reveal, the filmmaker teased audiences on social media on December 31 by writing, “People… A few hours more for SPIRIT – First Poster,” sparking widespread excitement and speculation. Interestingly, this strategy mirrors the promotional approach Vanga used yea...

Marvel Studios has released a new teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday , giving fans a compelling first look at Chris Hemsworth’s return as Thor in the highly anticipated Phase Six superhero epic. The second teaser, which premiered in cinemas with Avatar: Fire and Ash and is now circulating online, shifts the spotlight to Thor’s emotional journey as both a warrior and a father ahead of the film’s December 18, 2026 release. The teaser opens with Thor — the God of Thunder — in a solemn moment of prayer, invoking strength from his father, Odin, before facing an impending confrontation. Speaking directly to the All Fathers, Thor implores: “Lend me the strength of the All Fathers, so that I may fight once more, defeat one more enemy, and return home to her — not as a warrior but as warmth.” This deeply personal monologue highlights a thematic pivot for the character. Rather than simply preparing for battle, Thor’s motivations are grounded in family and protection — specifically his ado...

We are living in a digital age and gone are the days when stocks of film reels would be ordered for shoots. Those were the days when multiple retakes were discouraged, as it would lead to wastage of film stock. The switch to digital filmmaking made the process simpler and hassle-free. Yet, it’s common to hear of filmmakers going back to film or wanting to do so. In Hollywood, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, etc. continue to be hardcore celluloid loyalists as they still use traditional methods for some or all their films. But this revival didn’t happen in Bollywood. Finally, Sriram Raghavan took the initiative with Ikkis , starring Agastya Nanda. It tells the story of Arun Khetarpal, who, at 21, became the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra for the bravery he showed during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that Sriram Raghavan shot the portions of Agastya’s character training i...
