Dressed in a suave ensemble, blending elegance with his signature rugged appeal, Salman was captured warmly interacting with Elba and Ramírez. The rare moment of three cinematic giants of different industries sharing the frame quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the festival.

Inspired by the nail-biting true stories from the book India’s Most Fearless 3, Battle of Galwan tells the story of the horrific incident of the clash between Indian and Chinese troops at the Galwan Valley in 2020. The film reimagines the brutal hand-to-hand combat during this deadly border incident and promises to give viewers a ringside view of one of the most intense military stand-offs in recent times. Salman Khan is going to appear in a rugged and battle-hardened avatar, which is one of the most powerful and emotionally charged roles of his recent career. With its compelling storyline and patriotic intensity, Battle of Galwan is shaping up to be a big-screen tribute to India’s armed forces. Battle of Galwan is eyed for a grand Eid 2026 release.

R Madhavan has officially confirmed that he will play a much larger role in Dhurandhar 2, the sequel to Aditya Dhar’s high-octane spy thriller Dhurandhar. The film, which released less than a week ago, is already performing strongly at the box office and has sparked tremendous excitement for the upcoming instalment. Starring Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun, the first film followed an undercover Indian spy infiltrating terrorist networks in Pakistan. It ended with a major announcement: Dhurandhar 2 will arrive on March 19, 2026.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Madhavan praised director Aditya Dhar, calling him remarkably calm amid the chaos of making an intense action thriller. “Aditya Dhar is a monk,” he said. “After working with him in Dhurandhar, I want to work with him again and again.”

The actor also acknowledged fan conversations about wanting more of his character, Ajay Sanyal, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau. Addressing this directly, he revealed, “My screen presence is limited in the first part. But in the second part, which will release in March, there is a lot of my character as he trains Ranveer’s character in skills of espionage warfare.”

This confirmation hints that Dhurandhar 2 will deeply explore the mentor–trainee relationship between Ajay Sanyal and Ranveer Singh’s Jaskirat, who transforms into the formidable Hamza. While the first film only offered glimpses of this evolution, the sequel is set to highlight the intense preparation, psychological transformation, and tactical training that shape the spy’s new identity.

Reflecting on his eventful year, Madhavan added, “I started the year with Hisaab Barabar and I’m ending it with Dhurandhar, one of the most important films of my career. I couldn’t have asked for more.”

Akshaye Khanna is grabbing headlines yet again, thanks to his outstanding performance in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. While many have praised the actor’s chilling villainous avatar, others noted that Akshaye delivered a “Bobby Deol-style” Jamal Kodu moment, especially with the film’s viral Arabic track FA9LA.

This year has turned out to be a powerhouse of performances, with both Akshaye Khanna and Bobby Deol surprising fans and critics alike. Akshaye has been celebrated for his roles in Chhaava and Dhurandhar, while Bobby Deol’s unforgettable performance in The Ba*ds of Bollywood earned him the title of “Lord Bobby”, solidifying his massive comeback.

Filmmaker Priyadarshan, who has worked with Akshaye across multiple projects, praised the renewed attention the actor is finally receiving. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he said, “Look at Akshaye’s performance even in Drishyam 2. People have always loved him. Earlier, PR made an actor. Today, audiences decide. Akshaye was always a favourite artiste. Award shows ignored him, but I count him among the top five actors of the last 20 years.”

Laxman Utekar, who directed Akshaye in Chhaava, shared that he always envisioned him as Aurangzeb. “When we did his look test, it was magical,” he said. Utekar believes Akshaye deserves “even more success” after Dhurandhar.

On the other hand, Bobby Deol’s comeback continues to thrill the industry. Producer Ramesh Taurani expressed joy, saying, “Bobby was a star even before his debut. Now he’s a solid actor too.”

Trade analyst Komal Nahta noted that both actors highlight one truth: “It’s all about getting the right role.” He added that Akshaye should continue signing more films to build on his back-to-back successes.

Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja have always been known for their honesty, both in their personal lives and public appearances. While the two have often made headlines due to Sunita’s bold interviews, her latest revelation has left fans emotional. In a deeply personal conversation with Usha Kakade, Sunita opened up about the most painful phase of her life — the loss of her second child, a prematurely born baby girl.

Sunita recalled the heartbreaking details, revealing that her daughter was born early and struggled with underdeveloped lungs. “She was in my arms for three months, but her lungs didn’t develop properly. One night, she couldn’t breathe properly, and she passed away in my arms,” she shared. The moment still haunts her, as she added, “I could have had two daughters and a son today.”

In a previous interview with Hauterrfly, she had explained that the premature birth happened because she was traveling extensively with Govinda during her pregnancy. Not fully aware of the precautions she needed to take, she admitted, “I didn’t know I shouldn’t lift heavy things… my first delivery was smooth, so I thought the second would be the same.”

Alongside this emotional revelation, Govinda recently worried fans after being rushed to the hospital when he unexpectedly lost consciousness at home. His friend and legal advisor confirmed that he received immediate treatment and was later discharged after medical care.

Despite facing tragedies, health scares, and constant rumours about their marriage, Govinda and Sunita have remained strong partners since tying the knot in 1987. Their bond continues to endure, even as public chatter surrounds them more than ever.

Hardik Pandya is in one of the strongest phases of his career, and he isn’t shying away from giving credit where it’s due. After his recent T20I victory, the star all-rounder openly dedicated the win to his ladylove Mahieka Sharma, marking one of his most heartfelt public acknowledgments yet. Speaking after the match, Hardik talked about how deeply Mahieka has influenced his personal and professional journey, helping him rebuild confidence after years of injuries, criticism, and emotional challenges.

Recalling the struggles he has faced, Hardik said that life has thrown “a lot of lemons” at him, but he always chose to “make lemonade.” He revealed that his biggest motivation comes from knowing fans wait to watch him perform and from the unwavering support of those closest to him. In particular, he highlighted Mahieka’s presence as a turning point. “She’s been nothing but the best to me since she entered my life, and a lot of great things have happened since she arrived,” he shared, expressing gratitude for her role in stabilizing his mindset.

Hardik also spoke about the emotional toll of injuries and how self-belief kept him anchored through the toughest moments. He emphasized that he has always lived with honesty, never sugarcoating his experiences or worrying about public perception. According to him, everything begins with how one feels internally, not how others think. This mindset, combined with the newfound emotional grounding Mahieka brings him, has motivated him to focus entirely on enjoying cricket again.

Mahieka, too, expressed her pride by sharing Hardik’s emotional post-match interview on her Instagram stories, calling him “my hero,” a gesture that quickly won fans’ hearts.

Hardik Pandya confirmed his relationship with Mahieka earlier this year after months of speculation. This came following his separation from Natasa Stankovic. The former couple, who married in 2020 and renewed their vows in 2023, announced their split in July 2024. Despite the end of their marriage, they continue to co-parent their son, Agastya, maintaining a respectful and cooperative relationship.

As Hardik focuses on this new chapter — both personally and professionally — he promises that “bigger and better” will remain his life’s motto. With renewed confidence, strong performances, and a supportive partner by his side, fans believe this could be the start of Hardik’s most powerful comeback yet.
