A day before the release of Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 , producer Vinod Bachchan spoke exclusively to Bollywood Hungama about the film’s theme, why he prefers to make clean family entertainers and a lot more. Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 is all set to release tomorrow. As a producer, what’s going through your mind right now? I am very happy that, in times of crisis, I, as an individual producer, can bring my film to audiences in cinemas. Hence, it’s a cause for celebration (smiles). Ginny Weds Sunny (2020) had a direct-to-OTT release, while Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 will have a theatrical release. It’s quite a rare occurrence. Did you ever think of releasing the second part directly on OTT? Even the first part was meant for theatres. But due to the Covid-induced lockdown, there was no way we could have brought the film to cinemas. Meanwhile, Netflix gave us an offer to release the film directly on their platform, and I accepted it. Ginny Weds Sunny was quite liked and it trended very well for nea...

Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently opened up about an important life decision — selling his properties in Mumbai and embracing a rental lifestyle instead. During a candid conversation on Zindagi With Richa, the actor explained why owning a house no longer felt meaningful to him and how simplifying life became a conscious choice rather than a financial necessity. Speaking about the shift, Anupam Kher said, “Kirron (Kher) and I moved to a different place, and it took us four years to find it. Then she became an MP and shifted to Chandigarh. At one point, I wondered why we were even searching so hard for a house. So we just started living simply.” The actor made it clear that the decision had nothing to do with money troubles. Instead, it stemmed from changing priorities and the realization that renting often comes with fewer complications than owning property. His remarks reflect a growing mindset among many urban homeowners who prefer flexibility over long-term commitments. Anupam K...

It was such a well-put-together show. It was fun as well as scary because the punches were real. They both got hit. Pulkit got a few punches on his jaw and he had to get physio...

Diljit Dosanjh and Janhvi Kapoor have come together for Coca-Cola India’s latest campaign, but with an interesting twist — the two stars never appear on screen together. Instead, the campaign unfolds through separate films that highlight each celebrity in their own setting, bringing fresh energy and personality to the concept of taking a “Halftime” break.

In Diljit Dosanjh’s film, the singer-actor is seen in the middle of rehearsals, seemingly caught in the intensity of performance prep. A quick Coca-Cola break changes the mood, and moments later he returns to the stage with full force, delivering a high-energy performance and setting the atmosphere on fire with h...
