The Ultimate Reunion: Jasmin Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Purav Jha, and Munawar Faruqui Have a Blast!

The weekend saw a spontaneous celebrity party sweep social media, leaving fans in a frenzy. Actor Aly Goni provided a first glimpse of an action-filled night joined by reality TV star and comedian Munawar Faruqui. The celebrity party at the house had the largest celebrities on television in attendance — among them, Jasmin Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Tejasswi Prakash, Krystle D’souza, Purav Jha, and director Amul V Mohan.

In a video shared on Aly Goni’s Instagram Stories, the group is seen laughing, chatting, and enjoying a relaxed night in. Dressed casually, the celebrities seemed to be in their element, relishing each other’s company in what looked like a well-deserved break from their hectic schedules.

But what really generated online hysteria was the cryptic hashtag #Traitors, shared along with the clip. Fans in the audience immediately began speculating whether this reunion was a teaser or a behind-the-scenes hype for Season 2 of Indian The Traitors — the hit reality show presented by Karan Johar on Prime Video.

Even though there is no official confirmation, this get-together of these celebrities — several of whom are from The Traitors Season 1 — has generated buzz. Season 1 of the show featured an interesting combination of 20 celebrities and influencers like Raj Kundra, Raftaar, Anshula Kapoor, Maheep Kapoor, Uorfi Javed, and Sudhanshu Pandey.

The winner of the finale was poker pro Nikita Luther and internet star Uorfi Javed, who won ₹70.05 lakh after defeating Harsh Gujral in a cliffhanger finale. Sudhanshu Pandey and Purav Jha finished third.

Whether last week’s reunion was a social night out or an ingenious promotor, audiences are now holding their breath for any sign that The Traitors will return for another cliff-hanger season.

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy: A Chilling, Victim-Centered Take on One of America’s Darkest Crimes

Based on official press notes from Universal Studio Group and NBC News Studios, Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy offers a powerful and deeply human reimagining of one of the most disturbing true crime stories in American history .

Set to premiere on October 16, 2025, this limited 8-part crime drama takes audiences into the mind of the notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who murdered at least 33 young men between 1972 and 1978. But unlike typical serial killer dramatizations, this version shifts the focus away from glorifying the killer and toward the victims, their families, and the investigators who lived through the aftermath .

Created, directed, and written by Patrick Macmanus (Dr. Death, The Girl from Plainville), the series features Michael Chernus as Gacy, with Gabriel Luna, James Badge Dale, Michael Angarano, Chris Sullivan, and Marin Ireland rounding out the cast. Chernus’s portrayal was chosen for his unnerving ability to capture Gacy’s ordinary charm, a quality that once allowed him to hide in plain sight .

The production leans on extensive factual research provided by NBC News Studios, which produced the acclaimed 2021 docuseries of the same name.

Filmed in Toronto, the creative team worked meticulously to recreate 1970s Illinois, including Gacy’s suburban Chicago home, rebuilt from archival photographs and blueprints to haunting accuracy. The crew’s attention to period details, from wardrobe to set design, gives the show an unsettling realism .

Beyond the crimes themselves, the show explores the systemic failures and societal prejudices that allowed Gacy to go undetected for years. It exposes how police in the 1970s dismissed missing person reports, especially when victims were runaways or part of marginalized communities. The inclusion of GLAAD as a consulting partner ensures sensitive and accurate depictions of queerness, masculinity, and youth vulnerability in that era .

The press notes reveal a clear mission: to remember the victims as real people, not statistics or case numbers, and to highlight how their families, law enforcement, and communities carried the trauma for decades. Macmanus hopes the show “redirects the narrative so it’s no longer about Gacy the clown” but about the young men whose lives were stolen .

As the release approaches, Devil in Disguise stands out as a true crime story with empathy at its core, blending strong performances, historical accuracy, and social awareness. It’s not a show about a killer’s power, it’s about the people who refused to let him erase their loved ones.

What Happened to Rishab Shetty? Kantara Chapter 1 Star’s Mysterious Disappearance Sparks Rumors!

Kantara Chapter 1 is continuing its massive run at the box office, having raked in over Rs 500 crore in its second weekend. The period thriller, which is a prequel to the blockbuster Kantara of 2022, has found resonance with viewers yet again. With the Diwali season expected to further catalyze its show, the movie has solidified its position as one of the year’s biggest hits.

In the midst of the film’s thunderous success, writer, director, and star Rishab Shetty has opted to take a back seat to live it up in some much-needed leisure time. Following weeks of back-to-back promotions and celebration activities, Rishab is currently taking out time with his wife, Pragathi Shetty, and their two kids.

The Shetty family is presently on a private vacation, though the location isn’t being divulged. One of the pictures uploaded on Instagram depicts the family enjoying themselves by a picturesque riverside. Rishab looks relaxed and happy as he spends some time off with his people away from the media spotlight and the box office madness. The fans are overjoyed at seeing the star finally get time off and enjoy the equilibrium he’s achieving between his personal and professional life.

Pragathi Shetty has not only been a pillar of support to Rishab but also played an instrumental role in the film’s making. As the costume designer for Kantara Chapter 1, she oversaw the look of every character in the film. In an earlier interview with India Today, she described the project as a huge learning curve. “This film, especially, is the biggest project I’ve done. Kantara Chapter 1 became a university for me,” she shared.

She also spoke about the difficulties of balancing motherhood and work. “We have young children – a seven-and-a-half-year-old and a two-year-old. I had to take care of them too. He can’t give them time because he has to keep his body fit, work on writing, directing, acting… and post-production. I really don’t know how one person can do all that,” she said.

Besides Rishab Shetty, the movie also has Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah in important roles. With critical success and huge viewership backing, Kantara Chapter 1 keeps resetting benchmarks while its maker finally gets to catch her breath.

Mercy (2026): Chris Pratt Faces Judgment from A.I. in Amazon MGM’s Futuristic Thriller

Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming sci-fi thriller Mercy is already sparking conversation ahead of its release on January 23, 2026. Based on available information, the film takes place in a near-future world where justice has gone digital and the line between man and machine has completely blurred.

At the center of the story is Chris Pratt, who plays a detective accused of murdering his wife. With only 90 minutes to prove his innocence, his fate lies in the hands of the A.I. Judge, voiced and portrayed by Rebecca Ferguson, a machine he once helped design and defend. As the clock ticks, the film explores whether artificial intelligence can truly understand morality, emotion, or mercy.

Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, known for his visually inventive storytelling (Wanted, Profile), Mercy promises to blend high-tension courtroom drama with futuristic world-building. The film’s tone, based on early descriptions, is expected to be a mix of psychological suspense and philosophical intrigue, asking whether technology meant to serve justice could one day redefine it entirely.

The supporting cast includes Kali Reis, Annabelle Wallis, Chris Sullivan, and Kylie Rogers, rounding out what looks to be a deeply emotional and cerebral story. The film carries a PG-13 rating for violence, bloody images, strong language, and brief drug content, suggesting that it balances action and ethical tension rather than relying solely on spectacle.

Produced by Charles Roven, Robert Amidon, Timur Bekmambetov, and Majd Nassif, Mercy is shaping up to be a modern morality play dressed as a futuristic thriller. The idea of an A.I. judge controlling a man’s fate feels eerily relevant, especially as conversations around artificial intelligence and justice systems grow in the real world.

If the film delivers on its premise, Mercy might become one of the defining science-fiction dramas of the decade, a sleek, thought-provoking exploration of guilt, truth, and the cost of giving machines too much power.

Sonakshi Sinha Cheering for Shilpa Shetty’s Stunning Satin Saree is the Best Part of the Diwali Party!

Bollywood Diwali fervour was at its best at fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s glittering Diwali party, and Sonakshi Sinha stole the show with glamour as well as cheer. The Dabangg actress, accompanied by her husband Zaheer Iqbal, was spotted cheering on fellow actress Shilpa Shetty in a lovely moment caught by paparazzi.

Shilpa Shetty was stunning in a modern beige satin saree with a heavily embellished blouse, adorned with pearls, jewels, and intricate threadwork. When she posed for photos, Sonakshi recognized her and couldn’t help but be enthusiastic — she blew a whistle and cheered for Shilpa, who she complimented on her “goddess-like” appearance. The kind gesture provided a lighthearted, spontaneous touch to the evening of high glamour.

Sonakshi herself turned in a strong fashion statement in an eye-catching royal blue sharara outfit, topped with a dramatic full-sleeve cape-style jacket. The look was complemented to perfection with a turquoise-toned jewellery set, making for a pretty contrast. The actress oozed regal charm and party spirit, turning heads on the carpet.

Zaheer Iqbal, however, chose a traditional all-black ensemble — one long kurta with intricate floral patchwork on a single side, accompanying matching loose-fitting trousers. The couple’s attendance at the party came after their highly publicized excursion to Abu Dhabi, which attracted headlines both glamorous and incendiary.

While on their trip as part of the UAE’s Visit Abu Dhabi initiative, Sonakshi and Zaheer posted pictures from famous sites such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Sonakshi, however, found herself under fire after people on social media called out the apparent footwear within the mosque. In an explanation of the backlash, the actress explained that she had not worn her shoes inside the mosque but had left them at the door, as instructed.

In the professional arena, Sonakshi was recently seen in Nikita Roy, the directorial debut of her brother, Kussh S. Sinha. The mystery-horror flick had her playing the lead role of Nikita, along with Paresh Rawal, Arjun Rampal, and Suhail Nayyar. The story revolves around Nikita, who sets out to probe her brother’s death, and is led into the spooky realm of a cult leader and the supernatural events that begin to blur the boundaries between reality and illusion.

While Sonakshi has not yet made an official statement regarding her next project, her Diwali look and recent film selections indicate she is still developing, both style- and substance-wise, keeping people curious as to what she will do next.

The Running Man (2025): A Deadly Game Show Returns in Paramount’s High-Octane Reimagining

Paramount Pictures’ The Running Man is set to release on November 14, 2025, starring Glen Powell and Josh Brolin. Based on available information, the film reimagines a cult classic with a modern twist on survival, media obsession, and moral decay.

Paramount Pictures is gearing up for the release of The Running Man on November 14, 2025, a new take on the high-stakes sci-fi thriller that dives deep into a world where entertainment and survival collide. Based on available information, the film unfolds in a near-future society where The Running Man is not just television, it’s the nation’s obsession. Contestants, called “Runners,” are forced into a deadly 30-day competition, hunted by assassins for the world to watch, while every kill boosts ratings and fuels a public addicted to violence.

At the center of the story is Ben Richards, played by Glen Powell, a working-class father who agrees to join the game to save his sick daughter. 

His decision pits him against the show’s slick, manipulative producer Dan Killian, portrayed by Josh Brolin. But what begins as a desperate move quickly transforms into a rebellion against the system itself, as Richards becomes an unexpected fan favorite, challenging the power structures that profit from human suffering.

The cast is stacked with an impressive lineup: William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin round out the ensemble. With Simon Kinberg, Nira Park, and Edgar Wright producing, expectations are high for a film that blends sharp social commentary with intense action.

While the 1987 original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger leaned into camp and spectacle, this reimagining is expected to take a darker, more grounded approach, closer in tone to Stephen King’s original story (written under his pen name Richard Bachman). 

Early production notes suggest the new Running Man will explore how entertainment, control, and morality intertwine in a society willing to sacrifice humanity for ratings.

Directed by Edgar Wright, the film promises not just thrills, but a deeper look at how far we’ve come or haven’t in our obsession with fame, spectacle, and survival.

Genelia D’Souza and Riteish Deshmukh’s Diwali Bash Photos Are Proof That They’re the Perfect Power Couple!

Celebrated fashion designer Manish Malhotra welcomed the festive season with a dazzling pre-Diwali bash in his Mumbai home on Sunday evening. The star-studded event saw the who’s who of Bollywood attend, all dressed in their best traditional finery. From classic veterans to Gen-Z style influencers, the guest list twinkled as hard as the Diwali lights.

One of the evening’s many show-stoppers, Genelia D’Souza and Riteish Deshmukh hogged the spotlight with their well-coordinated and graceful festive outfits. Genelia looked stunning in moss green sharara set, embellished with ornate silver zari work. She paired the outfit with traditional studs and a show-stopping choker necklace, oozing elegance and grace. Riteish completed her beautifully in a traditional white sherwani with a jacket of the same color and sharp black heels. The endearing couple smiled their hearts out for the paparazzi on the night that was replete with glitz.

The star presence did not end there. Kareena Kapoor Khan wore white like royalty, while Ananya Panday introduced youthful pizzazz with her Gen-Z-inspired look. Suhana Khan stole the show with her sleek and modern interpretation of festive wear. Also seen on the scene were legends like Rekha and Hema Malini, who brought old-world glamour to the fabulous night. From silk drapes to lehengas dripping in sequins, the celebration was pretty much a runway itself, featuring the best of Indian festive style.

The release is timely for Genelia D’Souza, who has recently made a stir in returning to the big screen in Sitaare Zameen Par, sharing the screen with Aamir Khan. Directed by RS Prasanna and produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, the movie stars Genelia in a pivotal role and features eleven newcomers, outlining the production house’s efforts towards new talents.

While that happens, Riteish Deshmukh is all set to return to his comedic days with Masti 4, the next installment in the successful adult-comedy series. He will be accompanied by Aftab Shivdasani, Vivek Oberoi, Tusshar Kapoor, Elnaaz Norouzi, and Ruhi Singh. The movie, scheduled for November 21 release, follows the story of three married men going through rib-tickling adventures to break out of their monotonous lives — a template which made the original Masti (2004) a cult classic.

Sonakshi Sinha’s Golden Reply to Nepotism Critics: “Born with a Golden Spoon”!

Sonakshi Sinha has flipped the always-debated Bollywood nepotism issue on its head — and in her own characteristic way — by literally flaunting a golden spoon in her new Instamart advertisement. Released pre-Dhanteras, the commercial is a clever, self-referential play on privilege within Bollywood, with Sonakshi embracing her Bollywood heritage while putting a tawdry spin on the old “silver spoon” catchphrase.

The commercial begins with a comical ultrasound procedure of baby Sonakshi with a golden spoon already in her mouth. There follows a montage of her childhood, where each milestone from playground tag to hula hooping includes her clutching the now-famous spoon. Flash forward to today, the Dabangg star parades down hallways, strikes a pose for photo shoots, and field questions, all while unapologetically flaunting her “birthright bling.”

In a masterful reference to her most memorable line from Dabangg, she says, “Thappad se darr nahi lagta sahab, pyaar se lagta hai” only this time with the golden spoon securely between her teeth, making the line a comedy highlight.

The ad gets to its cheeky best when the reporter inquires about nepotism. Wordlessly, Sonakshi shrugs, still holding the spoon, as a voiceover pronounces: “Sona ka sona toh by birth sorted hai.” Then she grins and gives the punchline: “Aap apna dekh lo?”

The campaign has been widely celebrated on social media for its humor, forthrightness, and self-deprecation. Fans and commentators praised Sonakshi for “stealing the show” with one-liners such as, “This is how you shut the haters up,” and “She wins the argument against nepotism without uttering a word.”

Daughter of acting legend Shatrughan Sinha and ex-actress Poonam Sinha, Sonakshi never refuted her cradle-to-B-town entry in the industry. But with this commercial, she smartly turns the tables around, demonstrating that wit and a golden spoon can be great weapons to fight off criticism.

On the work front, Sonakshi was last seen in Nikita Roy, which was released on July 18. She will next be seen in the Telugu action drama Jatadhara, starring Sudheer Babu and Divya Khossla. The film, directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal, is scheduled to release on November 7.

The pop icon and two-time Grammy and Oscar winner will have a special cameo in the eagerly awaited sequel, says Variety, and she will be bringing her own special style to the already glamorous production.

The story happens over two decades later, with Miranda coping with the rapidly evolving fashion industry and fighting with erstwhile assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt), who is now a top executive at a big fashion conglomerate.
