Srikant Tiwari Returns! The Family Man Season 3 Release Date Promo

0

One of India’s most awaited web series, The Family Man Season 3, is finally returning — and fans can mark their calendars for November 21, 2025, when it premieres on Amazon Prime Video.

Announcing the release, the platform shared a quirky promo with the caption, “Le laadle, ho gaya Srikant ka comeback. #TheFamilyManOnPrime, November 21.” The video takes viewers four years ahead of the previous season’s events, featuring Priyamani as Suchitra Tiwari introducing the new chapter, while Manoj Bajpayee’s Srikant Tiwari appears in a hilarious sequence shouting, “Aaaaaaa…” The promo concludes with the cheeky line, “Aaa raha hun, beh****od,” confirming his much-awaited return.

The first season of The Family Man introduced audiences to Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class man juggling his dual life as a dedicated family man and a secret agent working for the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC), part of India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA). Alongside his partner JK Talpade (Sharib Hashmi), he investigated a potential terror threat while struggling to keep his personal life intact.

Season 2 raised the stakes further, with Srikant facing off against a Sri Lankan rebel group inspired by the Tamil Tigers. The season also featured Samantha Ruth Prabhu in a breakout role as the formidable Rajalakshmi.

Now, Season 3 picks up years later, exploring a new mission rooted in the post-pandemic world. As teased in the Season 2 post-credit scene, the COVID-19 outbreak ties into a deeper conspiracy involving China and a potential threat to India’s North-Eastern states.

The new season stars Manoj Bajpayee, Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, Ashlesha Thakur, Vedant Sinha, and Sharad Kelkar, with exciting additions including Jaideep Ahlawat, Nimrat Kaur, Sundeep Kishan, Jugal Hansraj, and Aditya Srivastava. The screenplay is co-written by Raj, DK, and Suman Kumar, with dialogues by Sumit Arora.

BLACKPINK’s Lisa to Shine as Rapunzel? Disney’s Tangled Live-Action Casting Sparks Buzz!

0

Lisa may soon be making her big Hollywood debut — and possibly as a Disney princess. The Thai singer, rapper, dancer, and actor, best known as a member of BLACKPINK, has been steadily expanding her career beyond music. Following her much-anticipated acting debut in The White Lotus Season 3, where she plays the cunning hotelier Mook, Lisa is now reportedly in talks to star as Rapunzel in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Tangled.

According to industry insiders, Disney is considering Lisa for the lead role of the golden-haired princess in its upcoming live-action remake. The studio, which has faced challenges with its recent Snow White project starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, is said to be seeking a global icon who can bring both star power and cultural reach — and Lisa fits that bill perfectly.

If the reports turn out to be true, this role could mark a massive milestone in Lisa’s already stellar career, making her one of the few K-pop artists to headline a major Hollywood production. Alongside Lisa, other names reportedly being considered for the part of Rapunzel include Sarah Catherine Hook, Aimee Lou Wood, Charlotte Le Bon, and Sydney Sweeney. Fans have been speculating online that Lisa may be the mystery White Lotus actress linked to the project, though no official confirmation has been made.

Disney has yet to comment on the casting rumours or the status of the Tangled remake, which had been indefinitely postponed earlier this year. However, another report suggested that Scarlett Johansson is being eyed for the role of Mother Gothel, the villain who imprisons Rapunzel in a tower.

If finalized, Lisa’s casting as Rapunzel could not only mark her Hollywood breakthrough but also usher in a new era of diverse representation in Disney’s live-action universe.

Kevin Jonas Breaks Free: “Changing” Set to Shake Up the Music Scene on this date

0

Nearly two decades after launching his career with the Jonas Brothers, Kevin Jonas is finally stepping into the spotlight with his first solo single. On October 26, the 37-year-old musician announced his much-awaited debut track Changing, set to release on November 20.

The reveal came during the Jonas Brothers’ Orlando livestream as part of their JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour. In a surprise announcement, Kevin shared the exciting news with fans, expressing his disbelief and joy. “Hello from the sets of the Changing cover shoot. I can’t believe I can actually say that,” he said, posting behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the shoot.

Kevin also unveiled the song’s official cover and shared a heartwarming clip of his wife, Danielle Jonas, reacting emotionally when he performed Changing live during a concert. In the video, Danielle is seen tearing up and later FaceTiming their daughters to share the special moment. Earlier in August, during a show at Fenway Park, Kevin performed Changing for the first time, admitting, “I’m super nervous, so bear with me.” The song’s introspective lyrics — “Maybe I’m jaded. Maybe I’m chasin’ the highs to escape. So, I keep changing.” — immediately struck a chord with fans. The track has been produced by Mark Schick and Jason Evigan.

Kevin first entered the music scene with his brothers Nick and Joe in 2005. By 2011, both Joe and Nick had launched solo projects — Fastlife and Nick Jonas & the Administration — before the band went on hiatus in 2013 citing creative differences. They reunited in 2019 with the global hit Sucker and have since released three albums: Happiness Begins, The Album, and Greetings From Your Hometown.

While Nick and Joe explored solo careers earlier, Changing marks Kevin’s long-awaited individual debut. The Jonas Brothers’ current tour concludes on December 22 in Brooklyn, New York.

How Much Does Shilpa Shetty’s Bastian Charge for a Simple Salad and Tea?

Shilpa Shetty’s high-end restaurant chain Bastian is now one of India’s most well-known celebrity dining spots. The Bollywood star ventured into hospitality in 2019 by joining forces with restaurateur Ranjit Bindra, the brains behind the Bastian brand. Since then, Shetty has expanded her portfolio, co-owning multiple restaurants across the country and holding a 50 per cent stake in the Bastian brand. Known for its opulent ambience and elite clientele, Bastian has quickly become a hotspot for Mumbai’s glitterati.

According to SCREEN, the restaurant’s prices reflect its exclusive positioning. A Jasmine herbal tea is priced at ₹920, while an English breakfast tea costs ₹360. The charges go even higher with drinks sparkling wine goes as high as an eye-bulging ₹1,59,500 for a Dom Perignon Brut Rose, a French premium bottle. Food is usually priced between ₹500 and ₹1,200, and portions include chilli garlic noodles for ₹675, chicken burrito for ₹900, burrata salad for ₹1,050, and avocado toast for ₹800.

In the upscale Dadar neighborhood of Mumbai, Bastian At The Top is touted as one of the city’s most popular restaurants. Getting a table in advance is no mean trick—there’s said to be a very long waiting list of hungry visitors, many of whom show up in high-end vehicles such as Lamborghinis and Aston Martins. Socialite and writer Shobhaa De recently explained the restaurant’s phenomenal success in an interview with Mojo Story. She stated that Bastian accommodates as many as 1,400 guests in one night with two seatings of 700 diners each and draws ₹2–3 crore per night in revenue.

Reacting to widespread curiosity about the restaurant’s earnings, Shilpa Shetty hinted that the actual figures are even higher. In an interview with Zoom TV, she laughed off the speculations, saying, “They’re all wrong, and their numbers are totally wrong. We’re making much more than that.” She also proudly mentioned that Bastian paid the highest GST in the hospitality industry during the last financial year, underscoring its immense profitability.

Meanwhile, Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra are in legal soup at the moment. They have been charged with cheating a Juhu-based businessman out of ₹60.48 crore. The Bombay High Court recently rejected their plea to go abroad to explore their restaurant business, deciding that they first deposit ₹60 crore before filing for international travel approvals.

Despite the controversy, Bastian continues to dominate Mumbai’s luxury dining scene serving not just food, but a full-fledged celebrity experience.

Manisha Rani’s Chhath Puja Look Sparks Marriage Speculations!

Known for her stint in Bigg Boss OTT 2, Manisha Rani has remained a fan favourite ever since her rise to fame on the reality show. Hailing from Bihar, the social media star recently gave fans a glimpse into her Chhath Puja celebrations, observed nationwide from October 25 to 28. Her pictures instantly went viral — not just for their authenticity and festive spirit, but for a particular detail that caught everyone’s eye: the sindoor adorning her forehead, sparking speculation about her marital status.

Manisha took to Instagram to share a series of serene pictures, performing the arghya ritual by the beach. Dressed in a traditional green and orange saree, she radiated simplicity and grace. Captioning her post, she wrote, “Yeh festival nahi emotion hai hum Bihariyo ke liye. Jai Chhathi Maiya.” The Haale Dil actress also uploaded a video with the same caption. The post quickly garnered over 9 lakh likes and more than 6,000 comments, with fans divided over the use of sindoor.

Many users questioned if Manisha was secretly married. One comment read, “Aap married ho, Manisha ji?” while another said, “Yeh sindoor toh sirf shaadi-shuda auratein lagati hain.” Some even accused her of disrespecting cultural customs for attention, writing, “Shaadi ke baad sindoor lagaya jata hai. Views ke liye kuch bhi!”

However, several followers came to her defense, arguing that wearing sindoor during Chhath Puja is about cultural connection rather than marital status. One user wrote, “Even unmarried girls applying sindoor are showing love and respect for tradition. Manisha is glowing with pride and making Chhath look even more beautiful.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Manisha Rani has shared pictures of her Chhath celebrations with sindoor — she had posted similar festive photos last year as well.

Robert Pattinson Took a Selfie in the Batsuit During His Batman Audition

0

Robert Pattinson has shared a story about his Batman audition that fans can’t stop smiling about. The actor revealed that while testing for the role, he took a selfie in the Batsuit so he’d always have a memory of that moment, even if he didn’t get the part.

In an interview, Pattinson said he thought to himself, “If this doesn’t work out, I’ll always have this.” It was his way of capturing what he called a surreal experience, standing in the iconic costume that so many legendary actors before him had worn.

The audition, which took place before he was officially cast as Bruce Wayne, involved wearing a previous version of the Batsuit from Warner Bros.’ archives. Pattinson later admitted that the suit was extremely hot and hard to move in, but still unforgettable.

What this moment really shows is how significant the role of Batman is, even for an actor like Robert Pattinson, who has already played some of the most talked-about characters in modern cinema. Stepping into that suit represents more than just another role; it’s a piece of movie history that few get to experience.

The photo he took has never been shared publicly, but the story adds to Pattinson’s reputation for being self-aware, humble, and genuinely excited about his craft. When The Batman finally released, his intense and emotional take on the character earned widespread praise, proving that his quiet confidence during that audition was more than justified.

Sometimes, all it takes is one picture, and a moment like that, to remind us that even the biggest stars still feel the weight of the dream.

Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam’s Intense Courtroom Battle in Haq Trailer is Unmissable!

0

The trailer of Haq, starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi, dropped on Monday (October 27), offering a stirring glimpse into a powerful story of faith, justice, and identity. Directed by Suparn S Varma, the film draws inspiration from the landmark Shah Bano case — a judgment that reshaped India’s legal and social discourse on women’s rights and personal law.

At its heart, Haq is a gripping courtroom drama that goes beyond legal proceedings to explore deeper themes of belief, equality, and truth. Yami Gautam plays Shazia, a woman whose relentless fight for justice defies both societal norms and systemic constraints. Her courage to challenge injustice ignites a national conversation on women’s autonomy and faith. Opposite her, Emraan Hashmi portrays her husband — a lawyer who becomes her unexpected opponent in court. Their legal battle doubles as an emotional and ideological clash, testing the boundaries of love, conviction, and identity.

The trailer captures an emotionally charged atmosphere filled with fierce exchanges, thought-provoking dialogue, and layered performances. At the launch event, Yami Gautam said, “This story moved me deeply. It’s not just Shazia’s fight — it represents countless women who’ve been told to stay silent. It takes just one voice to make a difference.”

Echoing her sentiment, Emraan Hashmi described Haq as “a warzone of ideas, faith, identity, love, and justice colliding all at once — powerful, provocative, and deeply human.”

Director Suparn S Varma called Haq “the story of a voice that shook the nation,” highlighting its focus on courage, dignity, and equality.

Also starring Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, Aseem Hattangady, and debutante Vartika Singh, the film is based on journalist Jigna Vora’s book Bano: Bharat Ki Beti. Produced by Junglee Pictures, Insomnia Films, and Baweja Studios, Haq releases in theatres on November 7, 2025.

Karan Johar’s Loose Motions: A Story of Laughter, Embarrassment, and Egyptian Limestones

0

It was sunshine, sand, and Sooraj Hua Madham all over — until Karan Johar’s stomach had its own drama. Shooting Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in Egypt’s Farafra Desert in the early 2000s, the director was in a rather unglamorous situation. In the midst of golden dunes and movie-ish vibes, KJo was struck by a sudden, virulent attack of food poisoning that had him scurrying for shelter — literally.

Remembering the episode, Karan Johar once confessed that he once suffered a “bad loose motions attack” in the middle of the desert, kilometres away from any rest room or vanity van. Praying for relief, he ran across the sandy wasteland until he came across a limestone rock that provided a semblance of privacy. Believing he had finally reached privacy, Karan squatted behind the rock — to find he wasn’t alone.

To his complete embarrassment, there was another fellow squatting behind a nearby limestone, fighting the same stomach disaster. “We both looked at one another; we both knew we were hiding,” Karan reported, chuckling about the experience. “It was the most humiliating moment. I thought, ‘I’m going to die.’ We exchanged silent wordless glances and vowed never to tell anyone.”

The director facetiously said that the spot now contains his “remains for life” and disclosed that the mystery man continues to work at Dharma Productions. “I never looked at him the same way afterwards,” he confessed.

Bollywood is famous for its bigger-than-life drama, yet Karan Johar’s Egyptian adventure is proof that reality can be greater than fiction at times. What started off as a fantasy desert shoot for one of Bollywood’s most memorable songs turned out to be a moment that KJo — and his hapless partner-in-crime — will never forget.
