Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Leela Bhansali Have A MAJOR Fallout Over Ranbir Kapoor's Love And War: Report
Actor Ranveer Singh and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali have reportedly fallen out due to the director not offering him the lead role in Love & War. As per senior journalist, Subhash K Jha, Ranveer Singh is miffed about not leading Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film, after giving the director hits like Ramleela, Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali features a love-triangle with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal as the leads. As per the report, Ranveer was offered the role of the second lead, which the actor declined. The role then went on to Vicky Kaushal. Due to their fallout, Bhansali was also not invited to Ranveer Singh's birthday bash.
The report claims, 'On July 6, Ranveer Singh celebrated his 40th birthday with a very private get-together where only close friends were welcome. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who gave Ranveer the superstar status with Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, was not one of the invitees. The director and actor are no more close friends."
Ranveer Singh was the star of Bhansali's previous three theatrical releases. He was also all set to lead Baiju Bawra with Alia Bhatt. However, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently focusing on Ranbir Kapoor's Love & War. In the meantime, Ranveer Singh signed Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar.
The first look from Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar was unveiled on the occasion of his birthday on July 6. Ranveer Singh channels his beast mode in Dhurandhar, delivering a raw and relentless visual experience in the 2-minute 40-second first look. The film features an ensemble cast comprising Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal.
However, Ranveer's latest teaser has also stirred major debate, not for the action-packed visuals or the character's intensity, but for his onscreen romantic pairing with 20-year-old actress Sara Arjun. The film was reportedly shot two years ago, which means Sara would've been just 18 at the time of filming, while Ranveer was 38. Despite the criticism, Ranveer has remained silent on the matter.
Presented by Jio Studios, a B62 Studios production, Dhurandhar, written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, releases on December 5.
Meanwhile, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently working on his next ambitious project, Love & War, featuring a powerhouse trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. The film began shooting in November 2024, and nearly 50 per cent of the production has already been completed. Now, Bhansali is gearing up to film some of the most intense sequences of the film. Despite the scale and scope of the production, the film remains on track for its scheduled release in March 2026.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 In The Works? Kabir Khan Confirms Talks With Salman Khan Are On
Last Updated: Kabir also shared that both he and Salman are aligned on not rushing into a sequel just to capitalise on the legacy of the original. Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the 2015 blockbuster starring Salman Khan, holds a special place in the hearts of Bollywood fans. Directed by Kabir Khan, the emotional tale of a man's journey to reunite a mute Pakistani girl with her family across the border became a massive box office success and earned critical acclaim. Naturally, fans have long waited for a sequel, and now, there's renewed hope that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 may actually happen. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, director Kabir Khan revealed that he and Salman Khan are indeed in discussions about reuniting for the sequel. While confirming that talks are ongoing, Kabir stressed that they're being cautious and waiting for the right story. 'We have definitely spoken about Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. In today's day and age, when all franchises are doing well, we are being careful about Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, as we don't want to make a sequel to the most popular film of the last two decades for the sake of it," he explained. Kabir also shared that both he and Salman are aligned on not rushing into a sequel just to capitalise on the legacy of the original. 'We don't want to spoil the legacy of a beautiful film like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. If and when a story hits us – maybe now, or a year later – we will definitely bring Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2," he added. The filmmaker further clarified that while he has never been inclined to follow the sequel route in his career, this particular story holds a special place. 'I would love to direct Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 but for the right reasons and not the wrong ones. I don't want to do it for the sake of box office numbers, but to do justice to the legacy of a cult like Bajrangi Bhaijaan," he concluded. Kabir Khan's last outing, Chandu Champion starring Kartik Aaryan, performed moderately at the box office. He is now reportedly working on his next film, while fans eagerly wait for confirmation on whether Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 will become a reality. view comments First Published: July 15, 2025, 21:10 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

This Mumbai Area Only Wants ‘Rich With Class': No ‘Nuisance' Bollywood, No Club For Jhunjhunwala
Societies in Pedder Road do not welcome Bollywood celebrities, as they believe famous people could be a nuisance. Mumbai is known as the city of dreams because many people come here for a better life. But some places in the city are still out of reach for many, even for locals, because living there is very expensive. One such area is Pedder Road, where many societies do not welcome Bollywood celebrities, as they believe famous people could be a 'nuisance." Journalist Vishal Bhargava explained that the area is mostly for the very rich, but not for celebrities, who face unofficial barriers when trying to buy a house. While appearing on the latest episode of Mumbai, Munch and Market with Chintan Vasani️ on Instagram, Bhargava said, 'Pedder Road, you have the rich and the super rich. In one building where the TATA chairman stays, next to that is Antilia, where Mukesh Ambani stays. So Bandra has celebrities, here celebrities struggle to buy a home. Many societies don't want Bollywood actors. They think of them as a nuisance. So if any Bollywood actor decides to buy a home here, many societies place informal restrictions on actors." 'So there are two or three big clubs. The most famous club is the Willingdon Club. They do not like Bollywood actors, but do not like anybody who they think is not sophisticated and refined. So, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the billionaire stock investor, tried to get membership into the Willington club three times, all three times they rejected him. So it's not that you have money, it's that money is not enough in Peddar Road, you need to have something more than money. The rich and famous can be a disqualification, rich and super rich give you a chance, but rich and sophisticated have better odds than rich and famous good one," Vishal Bhargava added. Pedder Road History: According to an X Page, 'Peddar Road is named after Mr. W. G. Pedder, Municipal Commissioner of Bombay in 1879. He was in the Bombay Civil Service from 1855-1879." Peddar Road is named after Mr. W. G. Pedder, Municipal Commissioner of #Bombay in was in Bombay Civil Service from 1855-1879 #Mumbai — Mumbai Heritage (@mumbaiheritage) October 17, 2013 Although most people still call it Pedder Road, the road now has a sign that says Dr Gopalrao Deshmukh Marg, the founder of the Indian Medical Association and the first mayor of Bombay after Independence. The road begins right after the city's first flyover at Kemps Corner, then goes uphill through a posh residential zone, until it reaches Haji Ali Square. view comments First Published: July 15, 2025, 10:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sonam Kapoor Reacts To Viral Post About ‘Desification' Of Wimbledon: ‘Indians Everywhere'
Published By : IANS Diet Sabya posted about 'desification' of Wimbledon 2025, noting the presence of several Indian celebrities including Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Urvashi Rautela, and more. Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who was last seen in the streaming film 'Blind', is coming out in support of the 'desification" of Wimbledon. A recent post by an Instagram handle showed pictures of Indian celebs attending Wimbledon. The post in question spoke about how there has been an uptick in influential people flocking to Wimbledon from India. Sonam took to the comments section of the post, as she wrote, 'Love the captions! Indians everywhere! So good na?". View this post on Instagram A post shared by DietSabya® (@dietsabya) Celebs like Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Urvashi Rautela, Neena Gupta and her designer-actor daughter Masaba, Janhvi Kapoor, Preity Zinta, Anushka Sharma and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli turned up at the Wimbledon. On Monday, Wimbledon paid tribute to Indian cinema for the very first time during finals. Wimbledon's official social media handle dropped a surprise post that sent fans into a frenzy. The visual mirrored the Republic Day poster of the upcoming movie 'Jana Nayagan'. Sinner struck a powerful selfie pose with his trophy, echoing Vijay's own image in the film's teaser art. The post was aptly captioned 'The First Roar", inspired by the thunderous BGM composed by Anirudh Ravichander. This marks the first time Wimbledon has saluted an Indian actor and film — making 'Jana Nayagan' the first Indian cinematic reference to be immortalized by the historic sports institution. Looking at the recent trends, Wimbledon has been chasing viewership similar to more popular sports in India like cricket given India's colossal human capital, and the advertisement revenues wired to it. The recent Wimbledon finals saw Jannik Sinner emerging victorious in an electrifying clash against Carlos Alcaraz. Jannik became the first Italian Wimbledon singles champion in the Open Era. The Women's singles defending champion was Barbora Krejcikova from the Czech Republic, but she lost in the third round to Emma Navarro. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
