Ranbir Kapoor wraps shoot for ‘Ramayana', first glimpse to release this week
The film, directed by Dangal filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, is among the most talked-about projects in Bollywood as of late. With the shoot now complete, the makers are set to release the official poster and logo of the film on July 3, 2025, serving as the first formal look at the much-anticipated mythological epic.
The cast includes Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha, and Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari. The film will be released in two parts — the first is slated for Diwali 2026, and the second for Diwali 2027. While plot specifics remain under wraps, it is widely speculated that Part One will conclude with the Sita Haran episode.
The film has been in development for several years and was often in the spotlight for its scale, casting decisions, and VFX ambitions. Visual effects for the film are being handled by the Oscar-winning studio DNEG.
Producer Namit Malhotra previously announced that Ramayana would be a tribute to Indian culture and mythology, saying, 'We aim to present the most authentic, sacred, and visually stunning adaptation of our history and truth.'
A teaser trailer is reportedly complete but will not be released immediately, as the film is still over a year from release. However, the official logo drop this week marks the beginning of the film's promotional campaign.

"Don't want my meat on Page Six": Travis Kelce admits one major change in his life after falling for Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce says this one thing has changed drastically in his life (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is gearing up for his 13th NFL season, and it's not just football that's kept him in the spotlight. With over 12,000 receiving yards, 1,004 receptions, 77 touchdowns, and three Super Bowl titles to his name, Kelce's Hall of Fame resume speaks for itself. But ever since going public with global pop icon Taylor Swift in 2023, his public visibility has shifted into a whole new realm. Travis Kelce confesses the unexpected impact Taylor Swift had on his personal life Despite being a fan favorite long before Swift entered the picture, Kelce admitted that the intensity of media attention since dating the Grammy-winning singer caught him off guard. Speaking candidly on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, the tight end reflected on the realities of being in such a high-profile relationship. 'Yeah, it's just the paparazzi. That's probably the only thing I didn't grasp until you're in it,' Kelce admitted. 'That's probably the craziest part. Like, I'm just playing golf and all of a sudden there's a guy with a camera hiding in the trees. I'm like, 'Oh no, I've gotta use the restroom now—I can't just walk over there and do my thing.'' Kelce, known for his fun-loving and unfiltered personality, acknowledged that being with someone as globally recognized as Swift means constantly being watched. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Don't Bother With An Expensive Will (Do This Instead) Local Will Finder Undo He quipped, 'Never been ashamed of slamming beers, just don't want my meat on Page Six.' While the attention has increased, Kelce made it clear that at its core, their relationship is grounded in normalcy. 'Yeah, we're having fun with it, man. Just being a couple, dude — you already know,' he said, brushing off speculation that their public appearances are for show. 'It gets thrown out there like we're trying to seek attention every now and then, but we're just enjoying life and having fun, going to hockey games… kind of easing her into more of the sports world. ' As Swift's global reach introduces Kelce to fans far beyond the football field, he continues to focus on what he does best—dominate the gridiron. With Chiefs training camp just weeks away, the cameras won't be going anywhere. Expect to see Swift back in her suite, cheering as Kelce chases a potential fourth Super Bowl ring. For Kelce, the biggest transformation hasn't been fame—it's how fame now follows him off the field. But through it all, he and Swift seem unfazed by the noise. They're simply two people, navigating love and life under the brightest spotlight imaginable, and doing it on their own terms.

The Cat in the Hat trailer: First look at Bill Hader's animated Dr. Seuss movie
The first trailer for The Cat in the Hat has arrived, and it's a kaleidoscope of wild visuals, witty chaos and nostalgic charm. Warner Bros. Pictures Animation reimagines the Dr. Seuss classic for a new generation, with Bill Hader voicing the iconic mischief-maker. Slated for a February 2026 theatrical and IMAX release, the film promises a whirlwind journey through imagination, laughter and some serious hat tricks. The first trailer for The Cat in the Hat is out now(Warner Bros.) From the opening seconds, the trailer makes it clear: this isn't your 2003 Mike Myers version. The animation by DNEG (Nimona, That Christmas) explodes with colour and fluid motion. Bill Hader's Cat bursts through Gabby and Sebastian's world, sent on a mission by the whimsically named I.I.I.I. - the Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration - to help the siblings adjust to their new town. Hader's voice work adds the right mix of energy, charm, and just enough chaos. Fans of Dr. Seuss will notice modern updates in both tone and humour, without losing the heart of the original tale. Watch trailer here: Loaded cast, lively vibes Joining Hader is an all-star voice cast including America Ferrera, Quinta Brunson, Matt Berry, Bowen Yang, Giancarlo Esposito, Paula Pell, Tituss Burgess, Xochitl Gomez, and Tiago Martinez. From what the trailer hints, the chemistry and comic timing are top-notch. Directors Alessandro Carloni (Kung Fu Panda) and Erica Rivinoja bring Seuss's rhyming spirit into a cinematic form that's more suited to animation than live-action ever was. Unlike the 2003 film, this version feels balanced, whimsical but not overwhelming, silly but still emotionally grounded. More Seuss on the way This adaptation marks a new chapter for Warner Bros. Pictures Animation under Bill Damaschke's leadership. The studio is also working on Oh, The Places You'll Go!, set to release in March 2028. If The Cat in the Hat connects with audiences, it could be the beginning of a whole new Seuss-verse. The trailer ends with the Cat's signature wink and a teaser of the chaos to come - a reminder that when the hat shows up, rules go out the window. FAQs: Q1. Who voices The Cat in the Hat in the 2026 movie? Bill Hader lends his voice to the animated Cat in the Hat. Q2. When does the movie release? It will release in theatres and IMAX on February 27, 2026. Q3. Is this related to the 2003 live-action version? No. This is a new animated adaptation, unrelated to the Mike Myers version.
