The film also features Bhagyashri Borse, Satyadev, and Manish Chaudhary in key roles. 'Kingdom' will release in multiple languages, including a Hindi version titled 'Saamrajya'. Interestingly, the trailer for the Hindi version features a voice-over by Ranbir Kapoor, while Jr NTR and Suriya lent their voices to the Telugu and Tamil trailers, respectively.- EndsMust Watch

BTS' V Teases Big Surprise For ARMY In August, Reveals Why He Dropped YouTube Channel Plans

BTS' V hinted at a new project for ARMYs in August and explained why he decided not to launch his own YouTube channel. BTS member V has sparked a wave of excitement among fans with his latest live broadcast, where he hinted at a special surprise lined up for ARMYs in August. Speaking candidly, V said, 'Actually in August, there will be a little something for ARMYs to see," which immediately led to speculation online about a possible comeback or a fresh solo project. While he stopped short of giving full details, the cryptic teaser was enough to get fans buzzing across social media. The singer also shared a heartfelt message with fans, expressing how deeply he misses them. 'I do really miss ARMYs though. The atmosphere feels changed in some way but if we saw each other together at a concert or at a music show or anyway someplace like that, I feel like it'd be great," he said. His emotional words struck a chord with ARMYs, many of whom have been waiting for the group's full reunion following solo ventures and ongoing military enlistments. Interestingly, V also addressed why he ultimately chose not to start his own YouTube channel. While many fans were looking forward to seeing more of his personal content, he explained his change of heart: 'I was going to try my own YouTube, but I decided not to. I don't think it would've worked. If I did it alone, I don't think it would have been fun. If I did my own YT, I thought I could do vlogs. I asked ppl around me what they thought I would do and they all said vlog. Which made me think it was too obvious so I decided against it." In addition to the live session, V has also been dropping cryptic images on Instagram Stories—one featuring a red leather-clad hand, another a dramatic close-up of his face, and a third showing a vintage-style building. While nothing is confirmed yet, fans believe these could be teasers connected to his upcoming music or concept rollout. With August just around the corner, anticipation is at an all-time high as ARMYs await what V has in store.

Tanishk Bagchi denies Saiyaara track being copied from One Direction, Jubin Nautiyal

The title track of 'Saiyaara' is bringing joy not just to audiences with its melody and lyrics, but also to the makers, as it climbs the global charts. The Tanishk Bagchi-composed song currently sits at #4 on Spotify's Top Global chart, and recently topped the Viral Top 50 the growing adulation, the team has also faced criticism for parts of the tune sounding similar to One Direction's 'Night Changes' and Jubin Nautiyal's 'Humnava Mere'. In an exclusive chat with India Today, Tanishk denied these I do, people will have something to say because they don't have [anything better to do]. They keep on looking for opportunities to put me down. But ultimately, the song will go wherever it's destined to, and that's what's happening with Saiyaara too. As for the comparisons, if you look at the melody, the chords are the same. The A minor scale has just about 3-4 chords but every melody has a different soul. That doesn't mean that anything was stolen. Even if you can do that, it's really difficult to make it a hit," he shared. Bagchi further shared, "All said and done, we didn't steal anything. The similarities are fine, it can happen, but it's not like we did it on purpose. Idhar se utha ke udhar nahi kiya (we didn't pick and add anything). We worked on the emotion of the song, and that worked. That's the magic of the track 'Saiyaara'."The music composer discussed the song's global popularity, sharing that while this was something he had always dreamt about, he didn't know it would surpass his expectations."The best thing is that it's an original Hindi song, a pure Hindi song. There is no collaboration with foreign artists; everyone associated is home-grown, so that's a big achievement for me. I did have an intuition that this could go viral, but I never expected it to top global charts. I think it's purely the hard work on the song and the pure intention that worked in its favour," he added that his team and even his family, including his mother and sister, are following the charts continuously and keeping him updated about the song's Bagchi further shared that he's always looked at as someone who only does recreation, and hence 'Saiyaara's' success will also help me break out of that mould. "People do come to me saying only I can do the recreation, and I know I will have to indulge it. I can't say no to everything, even though it only gets me abused. But this song has proved that I can also give an original superhit too. The issue is that these opportunities don't come every day. If I get enough songs like Saiyaara, then there would be no need to do recreation. But till then, I have to also survive," he shared.'Saiyaara' is currently running in theatres. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film features Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday in the lead roles.- EndsYou May Also Like

'War 2': Writer Shridhar Raghavan delves into how spy oath will carry forward across YRF spy movies

'War 2' features a patriotic spy oath linking characters across the YRF Spy Universe. The oath, shown in the trailer, sets a serious tone without spoilers. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the film releases August 14, 2025, in multiple languages. 'War 2' is coming out in a few weeks, and its new trailer has excited fans with amazing action scenes and a fierce battle between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR . Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the movie is part of the YRF Spy Universe and looks like it will be an exciting addition to the series. But besides the action, the trailer's beginning shows something deeper and more meaningful. Creation and purpose of spy oath in 'War 2' Writer Shridhar Raghavan said that the first 50 seconds of the trailer were made on purpose to show a special and emotional promise by the two main characters. The promise looks like a swearing-in ceremony and was meant to give the trailer a serious and patriotic feeling without revealing the story. Raghavan said this part helps viewers emotionally connect to the world of 'War 2' while keeping the plot a secret. He also said this promise won't be just for this film. It will be in all YRF spy movies, linking characters like 'Pathaan', 'Tiger', 'Kabir', and new agents. 'War 2' narrative As reported in Bizasialive, Shridhar reveals, 'Adi was very clear that he did not want a single plot point of War 2 to be given out in the trailer. So, we created a fictional oath that the agents take during their induction into the deadly covert task forces as they prepare to sacrifice everything to protect our motherland at any cost. This oath in a way mirrors the dramatic, intense story of this film. With War 2, and with every film, we are giving people more glimpses into the shadowy world of the YRF Spy Universe — who really are these agents, what links them, what are their origin stories?' Continuity and thematic role in 'War 2' Raghavan About 'War 2' In 'War 2', Kiara Advani plays the female lead. The film has been carrying high expectations from fans and the industry alike. It will be released on August 14, 2025 in numerous languages such as Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
