I'm OK not having a release every six months: Kajol
I think it is easier for this generation, at least in the beginning. We were just thrown into the water, so it was sink or swim. That I feel is our strong point. Now, they have months of preparation—be it a dialogue coach or personal trainer or stylist, what to say or not to say.Q. You return to the Dharma banner after a decade. Sarzameen must have been compellingIt was really the script. I loved that it's an emotional film about three people who are thrown into different circumstances and how they all have to grow and adapt. Working on a Dharma film is very comfortable. On the first day, everyonewas like, 'Welcomeback, Ma'am.'Q. Three decades and still going strong. What's your magic potion? How have you adapted to the changing industry?You have to sip the potion slowly, and give it time to digest before taking the second sip. I've done selective work. I don't put unnecessary pressure on myself. I am OK not having a release every six months.Subscribe to India Today Magazine- EndsMust Watch

'Homebound', starring Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa, will also be screened at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. Karan Johar took to Instagram earlier and wrote, '#Homebound has been officially selected for the Toronto International Film Festival 2025 (@tiff_net) in the Gala Presentations category. Extremely thrilled and elated to be a part of this prestigious festival – another time for us at Dharma.' The film recently received a 9-minute standing ovation at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. According to Variety, 'Homebound' revolves around two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who chase a police job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied. However, as they inch closer to their dream, mounting desperation threatens the bond that holds them together. Director Neeraj Ghaywan described 'Homebound' as 'a deeply personal story about friendship, dignity, and survival.' 'It's about people who are often unseen, and the quiet strength they carry in a world that rarely pauses for them,' said the director, adding that he hopes the film 'helps us look closer–with empathy–and see what we've been conditioned to ignore.' Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese serves as an executive producer on the film

Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa To Release On OTT? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Vishnu Manchu had earlier said that the movie's OTT rights had yet to be sold. Kannappa, a mythological drama produced by actor Vishnu Manchu, was released in theatres on June 27. The film starring Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal and Vishnu himself, has received a lot of appreciation for its gripping story. In the midst of enormous buzz around the picture, reports suggest that just after 4 weeks since its release, the movie is likely to start streaming on OTT. According to 123Telugu, Kannappa, starring Vishnu Manchu, will be released on Amazon Prime Video on July 25. If the claim is correct, the movie will be available on digital platforms less than a month after its theatrical premiere as opposed to what Vishnu Manchu has earlier stated. During a pre-release event, Vishnu Manchu made it clear that the film will not be available on any streaming platform immediately. Vishnu revealed that the film's OTT rights had yet to be sold, which is a deliberate decision that would allow the film to have a longer theatrical run without the constraints of its OTT release date. Vishnu said, 'I have a very large freedom; my movie will not come to OTT before 10 weeks. That is the deal I have, and by God's grace, I don't have any release pressure. My only intention is to showcase the best to the audience," as quoted by India Today. The movie features an amazing cast and noteworthy cameos. Vishnu Machu portrays a valiant warrior who transforms into Lord Shiva's devoted servant, Bhaktha Kannappa. Akshay Kumar plays Lord Shiva, Prabhas portrays Rudra, while Mohanlal delivers a stunning performance as Kirata. Kannappa tells the story of Thinnadu, a young, ferocious tribal hunter who is atheist. However, one day, the man uncovers a Shiva Lingam in the forest that changes the course of his life. The film was produced by Twenty-Four Frames Factory and AVA Entertainment. Kannappa, which has been released in five languages (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi), provides a visually magnificent and emotionally profound spectacle about devotion and mythology.

Shruti Chauhan: Who Is Saiyaara Star Ahaan Panday's Rumoured Girlfriend?
A new star is making headlines this year, achieving what many established superstars haven't. Rising Bollywood actor Ahaan Panday is gaining widespread attention with his performance in Saiyaara, a romantic film directed by Mohit Suri. Opposite him is newcomer Aneet Padda. This romantic musical drama has already begun earning praise for its emotional depth and chemistry between the leads. While Ahaan Panday's work is being lauded, his personal life is also drawing curiosity, particularly around his rumoured relationship status. Although Ahaan Panday has not made any public comments, his name was previously linked to Suhana Khan. More recently, media speculation has focused on Shruti Chauhan, an actress and model, who may be romantically involved with him. Shruti Chauhan is known for her role as Maya in Gully Boy (2019), and hails from Jaipur, Rajasthan, where she studied Arts at Jyoti Vidyapeeth College. In addition to acting, she featured in the music video Had Se, sung by Jubin Nautiyal, which received a fair amount of attention. Shruti Chauhan is also active on social media, particularly Instagram, where she boasts 223K followers, including well-known names such as Khushi Kapoor, Alaya F, Palak Tiwari, Ishaan Khattar, Ananya Panday, Alizeh Agnihotri, Suhana Khan, and Aryan Khan. Recently, Shruti Chauhan posted a heartfelt review of Saiyaara, praising Mohit Suri's direction and Aneet Padda's performance. What truly caught fans' attention, however, was her emotional support for Ahaan Pandey. She expressed deep pride and affection in her post, reigniting rumours about their relationship. While her comments have added fuel to speculation, a source close to the actress told India Today that these dating rumours are unfounded. The alleged romance has also become a topic of discussion on Reddit's BollyBlindsNGossip page, where fans are divided about whether Ahaan Panday and Shruti Chauhan are truly together or just close friends supporting one another's work.
