The biggest and hottest news and newsmakers from Bollywood this week (Sept 18 - 22)
It has been quite an action packed week in Bollywood! Before we talk about what happened throughout the week, let’s talk about how it ended, with a bang! Ranbir Kapoor, who has always given gossip mongers some real juicy stuff to talk about through his link ups and breakups, once again made headlines for a rumored affair. Pictures of RK and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan from an evening in New York City from July this year went viral on the internet. The picture once again sparked rumours of their linkup, forcing fans to disregard all the earlier claims of both the actors about not dating each other.

However, India.com learnt that there may be more to the pictures than just an evening of friendly banter. Our source revealed that leaking the pictures now, after a couple of months of being clicked, to attract attention towards Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira’s personal equation, might be a well thought out move. Perhaps, one of the two or both the actors are keen to come out in the open about their secret affair? Read our report here and do share your thoughts.
While Ranbir’s current relationship status gets speculated, his ex-girlfriend, Deepika Padukone gave her fans some sleepless nights with her first look from Padmavati. The three lead stars of sent fans in frenzy by announcing about Rani Padmavati’s arrival a day prior of the poster unveiling and the posters turned out to be worth the wait. The poster also revealed the new release date as December 1 instead of November 17, thereby ending all speculations. India.com exclusively learnt that Shahid Kapoor’s look as Raja Ratan Rawal Singh will be next, followed by Ranveer Singh’s Allaudin Khilji. Can’t wait! But that’s not the only exciting project from Sanjay Leela Bhansali that has us waiting with bated breath. Bhansali’s next, Gustakhiyan with Priyanka Chopra, was rumored to be shelved. However, India.com learnt the truth behind the rumours. And the reason is Padmavati. Confused? Read our exclusive report here.
Not just Padmavati, we also saw new first look posters of Golmaal Again, followed by a trailer that was revealed on Friday. The film promises ‘no logic, only magic’ upon its release in Diwali, giving us ample hints about what to expect from the film through the posters and trailer. It has a spooky angle to the story this time, Tabu who plays a psychic and Parineeti Chopra as the love interest that Gopal (Ajay Devgn) and his gang of boys are smitten by.
This week saw a dhamakedaar comeback of Sanjay Dutt in Bhoomi (review). The actor is in form and did justice to his role of an angry, old father who seeks out to avenge the injustice meted to his daughter. While the story wasn’t gripping and the slow paced narrative further made it a drag affair, Dutt saved the film from becoming a total disaster. But Bhoomi is just the beginning. Dutt is all ready to enthrall audience with some very interesting films in the coming year. Munna Bhai 3 being one of them! Yes, the films script is ready and Baba is already in board. Read our exclusive, detailed report here.
Talking about new projects, there have been reports about Sushant Singh Rajput sci-fi space film Chanda Mama Door Ke being shelved due to the lack of a producer. However, the twitter banter between Sushant and his co-star R Madhavan, where the two spoke about their excitement to get on the sets and start working with each other, put all rumours to rest. Director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan is already scouting for a producer and will start rolling the film soon.
Shraddha Kapoor also made heads turn this week. Alas, not so much for her film Haseena Parkar but when she opened up about her relationship rumours. First things first, talking about Haseena Parkar, the juvenile storytelling took the film down. Shraddha as Haseena was impressive and delivered one of her best performances till date. However, as the Godmother of Nagpada, Aapa, she was dull and not too convincing. You can read my full review of Haseena Parkar here. And now, for her relationship, the actress was asked if regular reports linking her up with the multi talented Farhan Akhtar bother her? She said, “I have no reaction to it. I don’t follow the news to know if any news has died down or come up. I don’t read the newspapers and watch TV.” Well, but there is no smoke without fire and this is one couple who has been spoken about much after they first worked in a film together. Only time will reveal the truth.
Coming up next week, we are expecting to see Shahid Kapoor’s look from Padmavati and Judwaa 2 fever to take pace as the lead stars Varun Dhawan, Taapsee Pannu, Jacqueline Fernandez put the promotion of their September 29 release in gear.
