Anushka Shetty's Ghaati postponed
Anushka Shetty starrer Ghaati's makers made an official statement regarding its postponement from the July 11 release. As per the update, the makers penned, 'A Note from the Heart of Ghaati. Cinema is a living river…sometimes it rushes forward, sometimes it pauses to gather depth.'
'Ghaati is not just a film; it's a mountain echo, a wild breeze, a story carved from stone and soil. To honour every frame, every breath, we have chosen to hold its flight a little longer in our embrace. We believe this wait will make the experience richer, more intense, more unforgettable. Until the mountains call again... we remain yours,' the makers added.
Here's the official update by Ghaati
Interestingly, this is the second time the Anushka Shetty starrer has been postponed from its release. Earlier, the makers had planned to release it on April 28, 2025, but it was moved up to July 11, but now it has once again been changed.
The upcoming film is a crime actioner that features the tale of a woman who is forced into the trade of smuggling cannabis, becoming a legend among her people.
The movie, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, presents Tamil actor Vikram Prabhu as the co-lead.
Moving ahead, recent rumors are doing the rounds that Anushka will be reuniting with Karthi after several years. As per ongoing speculations, the actress has been approached for a crucial role in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Kaithi 2.
While an official update on casting hasn't been made yet, reports suggest that she might be playing Dilli's wife in the film, a character who was mentioned in Kaithi (2019).

Revelations from retellings
The evening was punctuated with dialogues between the audience and the writer. While the audience was eager to know about the significance of the title, she explained, 'Footnotes, on the page, visually, seem to be the least important part, unless you are a scholar. Footnotes can be like a digression, can be like a rabbit hole in which you fall, and you discover other things.' Clearly, she alludes to the invisibility of women in literature. Her experiments could be seen on different tangents. While she is unapologetic about using creative freedom in her works, it's distinctly seen in the way she melds Tamil literature into the mainstream narrative. The character Alli, who she mentioned is her favourite, comes from the Tamil tradition. Alli Kadhai is a part of the performative traditions, Villu paatu, and folklores. 'I wanted to deliberately have a Tamil twist to the whole thing. Alli is not part of the so-called mainstream Mahabharata. And one must not worry about it, the more the better,' she said. Unbothered about the discussion on what is authorised and considered the original, the writer said, 'I just flowed where my imagination took me. It took me to the direction of these wonderful retellings. I approached it as a poet. One main reason one should read the Mahabharata is that it's an open, porous text; it was always meant to be a text without one truck; that spirit should be the approach.' Applauding this bold attempt of carving out a piece of work, Balakrishnan said, 'A long time has passed from the context of the Mahabharata. When you bring your poetry, it just adds itself to the multiverse of Mahabharata.' 'Footnotes to the Mahabharata' is priced at Rs 350.

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar co-star Sara Arjun once played alongside Salman Khan in Jai Ho; take a look
Ranveer Singh, 40, might be leading the charge in the upcoming action thriller Dhurandhar, but all eyes are on his co-star Sara Arjun — and for good reason. The 18-year-old actor, who will be seen sharing the screen with Ranveer for the first time, isn't exactly a newcomer. In fact, she's acted opposite another Bollywood giant, Salman Khan, long before Dhurandhar was even imagined. Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun and Salman Khan Yes, you read that right. Sara Arjun played the role of a schoolgirl in Jai Ho (2014), featuring Salman Khan in the lead. At the time, she was only a child, but already making waves in both Bollywood and the South film industries. Now, over a decade later, she's back in the spotlight, and this time, she's the leading lady. From child prodigy to pan-India performer Born on June 18, 2005, Sara Arjun is the daughter of actor Raj Arjun, known for Secret Superstar. By the time she was six, Sara had already starred in over 100 commercials. Her big break came in the Tamil film Deiva Thirumagal (2011), where she played the daughter of a mentally challenged father. She then went on to deliver powerful performances in Saivam (2014), Ek Thi Daayan (2013), Chithirayil Nilachoru (2013), and the acclaimed anthology Sillu Karuppatti (2019). More recently, audiences saw her portraying a younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2 (2023). Dhurandhar: A big debut (again) Directed by Aditya Dhar (Uri: The Surgical Strike), Dhurandhar is being touted as one of the biggest action spectacles of 2025. Unveiled by Jio Studios and B62 Studios on Ranveer Singh's birthday, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The high-octane first look is set to a pulsating soundtrack by Shashwat, featuring vocals by Jasmine Sandlas and a special collaboration with genre-blending artist Hanumankind. But while the film's visuals are grabbing attention, so is the casting. Sara's pairing with Ranveer Singh — who is nearly 20 years her senior — has raised eyebrows online. Some netizens have expressed surprise at the age gap, sparking a familiar conversation in Bollywood about onscreen pairings.
