Check out the announcement post here:
The first film, 'MAD', struck a chord with audiences thanks to its relatable characters and refreshing humour. 'MAD Square' builds on that foundation, bringing back the original cast and their signature comic timing.
Directed by Kalyan Shankar, the film is produced by Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios. The technical team includes cinematographer Shamdat Sainudeen, National Award-winning editor Navin Nooli, and music composer Bheems Ceciroleo, who returns with a high-energy soundtrack.
India Today's review notes, "Technically, Mad Square is functional but not exceptional. Bheems Ceciroleo's music is decent, with a few catchy tracks, while Thaman's background score keeps the energy alive. The cinematography does the job, and while the editing is sharp in parts, the film feels slightly stretched due to predictable gags.'

'Kartik Aaryan is now being targeted like Sushant Singh Rajput': Singer Amaal Mallik makes shocking claims about Bollywood
Dark Parallels With Sushant Singh Rajput A Struggle Behind The Stardom Remembering Sushant, Raising the Red Flag Still Dancing Through the Storm You Might Also Like: Five years after Sushant Singh Rajput's death, sister Shweta urges fans not to lose heart even if CBI has submitted report In a scathing revelation that has sent tremors through Bollywood circles, music composer and singer Amaal Mallik has alleged that some of the most powerful producers in the Hindi film industry are actively trying to sideline actor Kartik Aaryan echoing a chilling déjà vu of what happened to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput In a candid interview with Mirchi Plus, Mallik did not mince words. "He's also a newcomer who has come in, done his bit. Usko bhi 100 log hatane ke firaaq mein hain" (There are hundreds of people who are waiting to push him out), he said, referring to Aaryan. "Power play karte hain. Sab kuch karte hain bade bade producers, actors" (Power games are played. Big producers and actors pull every trick in the book). According to the musician, Bollywood has long operated as a closed circle where those not aligned with power centres are systematically strongest claims came when he compared Kartik's current struggles with the fate of Sushant Singh Rajput, who died by suicide in June 2020. "Sushant Singh Rajput ki death ne in logon ka sab cheen liya..." (Sushant Singh Rajput's death stripped everything from these people), he said. "Aaj aap dekho, wohi cheezein, indirectly ya directly Kartik Aaryan ke saath karne ka bhi try karte hain log" (Today you'll see people trying to do the same things, directly or indirectly, with Kartik Aaryan). "Woh bhi unhi problems se joojh ke, dance karte hue nikla hai, smile karte hue" (He too has battled the same problems, yet kept going—dancing and smiling).He further added that the entertainment industry is so dark that 'logo ki life chali gayi' (people have lost their lives because of it). Speaking about Sushant's demise, he remarked, "Jo bhi unke saath hua, some blame it as murder, some blame it as suicide. Jo bhi ho, aadmi toh chala gaya na" (Whatever happened—some say it was murder, others suicide—but the man is gone, isn't he?).Kartik Aaryan, who rose from outsider status to become one of the most bankable stars in Hindi cinema, has long been the subject of speculation about being dropped or replaced from high-profile projects. While he continues to deliver hits—most recently in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Chandu Champion—rumors around behind-the-scenes politics have often clouded his statement, therefore, is not just an opinion—it reinforces a public sentiment that Bollywood's glitzy surface often hides uncomfortable realities. "The public has understood the reality of this industry... itni dark hai ki logo ki life chali gayi" (The public now understands just how dark this industry is—people have literally lost their lives because of it), he said. In doing so, he has brought back attention to an ongoing conversation about mental health, fairness, and power imbalances in the film Singh Rajput, whose death triggered a nationwide outpouring of grief, had also been rumoured to face similar industry isolation. His demise ignited a fierce debate around nepotism, favouritism, and the lack of institutional support for outsiders in Bollywood. Five years later, Mallik's comments seem to suggest that not much has Mallik, known for his melodic hits and celebrated work in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, is not just a chart-topping composer but also someone who's known to speak his mind. The elder son of composer Daboo Malik, Amaal has made a name for himself outside the shadows of Bollywood's nepotistic the headwinds, Kartik Aaryan continues to be a fan favourite. With a filmography ranging from romantic comedies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama to intense roles in Freddy and Dhamaka, the actor has proven his range and bankability. But if Amaal Mallik's words are any indication, the challenges he faces may go far beyond just picking the right Bollywood continues to grapple with its image in the post-Sushant era, voices like Mallik's may reignite urgent conversations around mental health, systemic exclusion, and the cost of success in India's most glamorous industry.

'Amitabh Bachchan was last choice for Zanjeer — but when luck was on his side, everything fell into place': Raza Murad
Veteran actor Raza Murad has stirred discussion in Bollywood circles with his recent remarks on the role of luck in achieving success in the Hindi film industry. In an interview with The Filmy Charcha, Murad boldly claimed that "90% luck" is necessary to make it big in the business, citing the early career of megastar Amitabh Bachchan as a prime example. 'Amitabh Bachchan was thrown out of 'Duniya Ka Mela'. The makers replaced him with Sanjay Khan. 16 of his films flopped. Distributors said nobody will turn up to theatres if he will star in a film. At that time, his luck was not with him. But when the luck was in his favour, everything fell in place,' Raza Murad said. Elaborating further, Murad recounted how Amitabh was not the first choice for 'Zanjeer', the 1973 film that launched him to superstardom. The actor added, 'When Prakash Mehra wanted to make 'Zanjeer', he went to Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, Dev Anand, Rajkumar, and they all refused for some or the other reason. The subject was extremely hero-oriented, yet, these superstars rejected it. Nobody knows why, but one can say that the luck wanted Amitabh Bachchan to lead the film. When nobody wanted him, and Prakash Mehra had no option, Jaya Bachchan (then Jaya Bahaduri) recommended the director he take Amitabh Bachchan and rest is history.' 'Zanjeer' not only resurrected Amitabh's career but also became a milestone for screenwriters Salim-Javed, who later crafted many of Bachchan's iconic roles. The film's success introduced the archetype of the 'angry young man' in Hindi cinema, shifting the narrative away from romantic leads to grittier, working-class protagonists. Pran's portrayal of Sher Khan in his Pathani attire became legendary, while lines like 'Yeh police station hai, tumhare baap ka ghar nahin' ('This is a police station, not your father's house') embedded themselves in Indian pop culture. 'Zanjeer' (1973) was helmed by director Prakash Mehra, who also co-produced the film along with S. Ramanathan. The screenplay was written by the legendary duo Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, whose powerful storytelling and sharp dialogues would go on to reshape the landscape of Hindi cinema. With music composed by the acclaimed duo Kalyanji-Anandji and lyrics by Gulshan Bawra, the film was a complete cinematic package.
