Sunny Deol starrer GABRU teaser coming soon; actor shares update on social media

Superstar Sunny Deol on Thursday shared a fresh update on his upcoming film GABRU, confirming that the teaser of the action-drama is on its way. Not too long ago, we at Bollywood Hungama had revealed that the film’s release might be delayed further. As of now, however, fans eagerly waiting for the film’s release will get a sneak peek into it soon.

Sunny Deol took to Instagram to post a picture from the film’s set, featuring producer Vishal Rana of Echelon Productions, and director Shashank Udapurkar. With the post, Deol officially signalled that the first glimpse of the film will be unveiled soon by captioning it simply, “#Gabru Teaser coming soon” and even added a hug emoji.

GABRU, backed by Echelon Productions, is described as an action-drama that places Deol in a powerful and emotionally layered role. While the makers have yet to announce the teaser launch date, the actor’s update has heightened curiosity among fans, especially following his recent box office successes.

However, there has been a development regarding the film’s theatrical release. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Gabru was scheduled to release in cinemas on March 13. But now, the makers have decided to push the release. The makers are considering a few options and are expected to lock a date soon. Once done, they’ll make an official announcement.”

While the makers have not cited an official reason for the postponement, trade circles suggest that market dynamics may have influenced the decision. A trade source explained, “The holy month of Ramzan will be underway in mid-March, which could limit footfalls from a section of the audience. Moreover, the much-awaited films Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic are set to clash on March 19. Sunny Deol’s track record has strengthened after the blockbuster success of Gadar 2. Hence, it makes sense to arrive at a time when a larger number of moviegoers will be available to catch the film on the big screen.”

From what Bollywood Hungama has learned, GABRU revolves around the journey of Deol’s character and a child artist, both grappling with personal struggles. Their intertwined lives reportedly form the emotional backbone of the story, which is said to celebrate resilience and human connection.

With the teaser announcement now official and a revised release date expected soon, all eyes are on the makers to reveal their new strategy. Given Deol’s renewed box office momentum, the timing of GABRU’s release could play a crucial role in shaping its theatrical run.

Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna share FIRST pictures from “The Wedding of VIROSH”

After days of speculation and mounting excitement online, actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have shared the first official pictures from their wedding, offering fans a glimpse into what they have called “The Wedding of VIROSH.” Vijay took to social media to share a set of their wedding photos.

The ceremony reportedly took place in Udaipur at 10:10 am, in keeping with Telugu wedding traditions. Set against a regal backdrop, the celebrations were intimate yet grand, with close friends and family in attendance. As mentioned earlier, the actors hosted a traditional South Indian style ceremony and Vijay also penned a heart-touching romantic note for his new wife. "One day, I missed her. Missed her in a way that made me feel like my day would've been better if she were around. Like my meals would've felt more wholesome if she were sitting across from me. Like my workouts would've been more fun and less of a punishment if she were doing them with me. Like I needed her - just to feel that sense of home and calm, no matter where I was. So, I made my best friend... my wife".

Meanwhile, Rashmika too took to Instagram to add the same photos but she dedicated a separate love note to her husband wherein she added, "Hi my loves, Introducing to you now “My Husband”! Mr. Vijay Deverakonda!! The man who taught me what true love feels like, The man who showed me what being in peace feels like! The man who told me everyday that dreaming big was absolutely ok and constantly telling me I was capable of achieving something much more than what I could possibly think I ever could! The man who’s never stopped me from dancing like no one’s watching.. the man who showed me travelling with friends is the best thing ever, and trust me I could write a book on this man! I’ve become the woman I have always dreamt of being, because you made her who she is today! I’ve truly been blessed! Vijju I am always short of words to describe the feelings I have for you!! I’ve always told you that!! But you know suddenly all of my achievements, struggles, happiness, sadness, joy, life - everything just makes a lot more sense now - it is because I have you - witnessing it all.. being the biggest part of it all! I am so so so so soooo excited to becoming your wife! to be your wife! To be called your wife!! it’s full party time now!! Let’s have the bestestest life ever together! I love you!".

Last Sunday, February 22, the couple formally announced their wedding through a joint note that quickly went viral. In the announcement, they revealed that their union would be known as “The Wedding of VIROSH” — a name that holds emotional significance. The term “VIROSH” was originally coined by fans years ago, combining their names into a single identity that gradually became shorthand for their bond.

In their note, Vijay and Rashmika clarified that the name did not emerge from wedding planners or family customs, but from the affection of their supporters. What began as a fan-made label has now been embraced by the couple as a defining symbol of this milestone in their lives.

Their off-screen love story has often mirrored their on-screen chemistry. The two first shared screen space in Geetha Govindam, a film that became a commercial success and cemented their popularity as a pair. Their collaboration continued with Dear Comrade, further strengthening both their professional and personal equation. The couple is also set to appear together in Ranabaali after their wedding.

Aamir Khan reveals Salim Khan is still in ICU after DSA procedure: “We are all praying he returns home”

Actor Aamir Khan has shared a health update on veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, revealing that he remains in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following a recent medical procedure.

Speaking to the media at a recent event, Aamir said he had gone to visit Salim Khan at the hospital but could not meet him directly as he is currently in the ICU. “Main Salim Sahab se milne gaya tha. Hum sab dua kar rahe hain ki woh jaldi se theek ho jaayen because he is in the ICU. I couldn't meet him personally but sat with the family,” he said.

The actor added that he has been receiving regular updates about the writer’s condition from the family. “Jo mujhe Alvira ji bata rahi hai, har roz unki health improve ho rahi hai. Hum sab prarthna kar rahe hain ki woh jaldi ghar aa jaayen aur unki health bhi wapas aa jaaye,” Aamir shared, expressing hope that Salim Khan will soon return home.

Salim Khan was rushed to Lilavati Hospital a few days ago. On February 18, doctors confirmed that a Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) procedure had been successfully performed by a neurosurgeon. The attending physician had addressed the media outside the hospital to confirm the development.

Subsequently, reports suggested that the family, including actor Salman Khan, was upset over the public disclosure of detailed medical information and had reportedly requested hospital authorities to refrain from sharing further health updates.

Ikkis OTT release: When and where to watch Agastya Nanda starrer; deets inside!

On February 26, Prime Video announced the exclusive global streaming premiere of Ikkis, a powerful biographical war drama inspired by the extraordinary true story of India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal.

Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, the film is headlined by Agastya Nanda as young Arun Khetarpal PVC, alongside a powerhouse ensemble cast, including late Dharmendra in a touching final on-screen appearance as Brigadier Khetarpal, and Jaideep Ahlawat, Simar Bhatia, and Rahul Dev in key roles. Ikkis is produced by Dinesh Vijan and co-produced by Binny Padda under the banner of Maddock Films and is now available to stream exclusively on Prime Video.

At its heart, Ikkis traces the short yet extraordinary life of Arun Khetarpal, PVC, a 21-year-old officer whose fearless leadership during the Battle of Basantar posthumously earned him the nation’s highest military honour. Thoughtfully crafted and emotionally engaging, the film offers audiences a powerful and immersive viewing experience as it moves between the battleground and the aftermath, where a father seeks to piece together the fragments of his son’s final days; finding meaning in the silence left behind.

While rooted in wartime action, Ikkis transcends the genre to explore themes of valour, humanity, the futility of war, and the emotional scars left behind by conflict and partition. It is a moving story that honours bravery while reflecting on the cost a generation pays for it.

Siddhant Chaturvedi, Alizeh to lead Vikas Bahl’s 1990s-set UK Punjabi music drama: Report

Filmmaker Vikas Bahl is set to explore new ground with a full-fledged musical romance drama. The yet-untitled project will star Siddhant Chaturvedi and Alizeh Agnihotri in the lead roles and is being produced by Reliance Entertainment.

According to a report by Variety India, the upcoming film is said to be inspired by the rise of the UK Punjabi underground movement of the 1990s — a period when music became a marker of identity for the post-immigrant generation. Blending traditional Punjabi folk with Western influences, the movement created a distinct cross-cultural sound that resonated widely across communities in the United Kingdom.

Set against this backdrop, Bahl’s film will centre on a love story shaped by ambition, identity and artistic aspiration. Siddhant will reportedly play a drummer, while Alizeh will essay the role of a singer. The narrative is expected to trace their personal and creative journeys during what is often regarded as a defining era for UK Punjabi music.

Bahl, known for films such as Queen, Super 30 and Shaitaan, has completed the script and is preparing to move into pre-production. Shooting is planned for the second half of 2026.

The project will mark Siddhant’s second collaboration with Bahl after their upcoming romantic comedy Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling, which is slated for release later this year. The actor was recently seen in Do Deewane Seher Mein and is expected to begin work on a biopic based on legendary filmmaker V. Shantaram before starting this musical.

Alizeh made her acting debut with Farrey, the Hindi adaptation of the Thai film Bad Genius. Bahl’s musical will mark her second feature outing.

Kerala High Court halts release of The Kerala Story 2 rights; questions CBFC’s U/A certification

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday instructed the producers of the controversial film The Kerala Story 2 to refrain from releasing its rights until the court delivers a verdict on petitions contesting its certification.

While hearing the case, the bench observed that the concerns flagged by the petitioners appeared genuine and directed the filmmakers to put their plans on hold. The court insisted in a statement that movie is not released as scheduled tomorrow and that the makers have to wait for the hearing to conclude, giving the court time to decide on the petitions as well.

The bench also raised questions about the certification granted by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), asking them the reason behind giving U/A certificate instead of an ‘A’.  The judges remarked, expressing surprise at the rating. The court further noted that the producers themselves were not pressing for an immediate screening and pointed out that there was limited time to examine the matter comprehensively.

During arguments, counsel representing the CBFC defended the certification, stating that several films have previously used names of Indian states or cities in their titles. Examples cited included Go Goa Gone, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai and Delhi Belly, suggesting that objections to the current title were not unprecedented.

The producers’ legal team argued that the film focuses on the experiences of women survivors and maintained that the petition raises broader legal questions. They also contended that the request to quash the certification was legally unsustainable.

The court clearly maintained that Kerala is a part of India and not a location isolated from the country, adding that the question is not about dignity of Kerala but dignity of India. After hearing preliminary submissions, the High Court recorded the undertaking by the filmmakers that they would await its ruling before proceeding further. The matter was then adjourned and will resume tomorrow, on February 26.

Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, The Kerala Story 2 recently drew political and public attention following the release of its trailer. The film, featuring Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia and Aishwarya Ojha, is scheduled to release on February 27.
