Makers of the The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond unveil character posters of Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha and Aditi Bhatia

The makers of The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond have unveiled the character posters of its leading women — Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha and Aditi Bhatia — offering the first detailed visual insight into the film ahead of its release.

The newly released posters present intense close-ups of the actors, with half their faces covered by a burqa while the other half reveals visible bruises and tear-streaked expressions. The imagery suggests emotional and physical trauma, setting a sombre tone and indicating the difficult circumstances their characters navigate in the narrative.

Sharing the posters on social media, the makers wrote, “—”, keeping the focus on the visuals rather than revealing plot details at this stage.

Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Kamakhya Narayan Singh, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is positioned as a continuation of the first film, expanding its narrative scope. The sequel revolves around the story of three Hindu women whose lives take a troubling turn after they enter relationships that eventually expose a larger, calculated process of religious conversion.

Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and co-produced by Aashin A Shah under the banner of Sunshine Pictures, the film follows the 2023 release The Kerala Story, which sparked widespread discussion upon its release.

With the character posters now out, the makers have begun their promotional rollout while keeping the storytelling details largely under wraps. The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is scheduled to release in cinemas on February 27, 2026.

Firing reported outside Rohit Shetty’s Juhu residence; police investigate

Early Sunday morning, unidentified individuals fired several gunshots outside the home of Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty in the Juhu area of western Mumbai, prompting an immediate police response and a detailed investigation.

According to police sources, the incident occurred at around 12:45 am, when multiple rounds were discharged near Shetty’s residential building. Initial reports indicate that four to five shots were fired, though the precise number of rounds remains under verification by authorities.

Mumbai Police, along with crime branch teams, responded swiftly to the scene. Security around the building was heightened, and investigators cordoned off the area as a precautionary measure. Forensic experts and ballistic teams were reportedly brought in to collect evidence, and CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being reviewed to trace the movements of the suspects.

A senior police official was quoted saying, “Someone fired on the building. Zonal police and crime branch teams are investigating,” underscoring that the probe is at an early stage and that all possible leads are being examined.

So far, there has been no claim of responsibility for the firing, and authorities are yet to determine a clear motive. Local residents shared that the sudden sound of gunshots late at night startled several people in the vicinity, highlighting concerns about safety in high-profile neighbourhoods. Police have assured continued vigilance in the area as the investigation progresses.

EXCLUSIVE: It’s a wrap for the Mumbai schedule; Kartik Aaryan-starrer Naagzilla heads to Delhi for final three-week shoot

Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront in delivering exclusive news about one of the most-awaited films of 2026, Naagzilla, starring Kartik Aaryan. We are now back with another interesting piece of information – the shoot is steadily progressing and is expected to be completed this month, that is, February 2026.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba shot a month-long schedule in Mumbai with Kartik Aaryan. Yesterday, on January 31, the Mumbai schedule was wrapped up. 70% of the shoot is now complete.”

The source added, “The team of Naagzilla are heading to Delhi this month, that is, February 2026, where a three-week-long schedule will take place. The completion of the Delhi leg will mark the wrap of the film.”

Naagzilla is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain’s Mahaveer Jain Films (with Mrighdeep Singh Lamba as a partner). The fantasy comedy features Kartik as a shape-shifting naag and, reportedly, Ravi Kishan essays the role of the antagonist. Also, as per reports, Sreeleela is the female lead. Interestingly, she is also paired opposite Kartik Aaryan in his other 2026 film, the untitled musical saga, directed by Anurag Basu.

The source further revealed, “Naagzilla went on floors on November 1, 2026, and within four months, the shoot will be wrapped up, thanks to advance planning and dedication of the cast and crew. This was a challenging and one-of-a-kind film and in between, Kartik went all out to promote his Christmas release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025; also produced by Karan Johar). At the same time, he gave more than a hundred per cent to Naagzilla as well. Once the shoot is completed, Mrighdeep Singh Lamba’s complete focus would be on post-production and ensuring that their labour of love turns out to be an exciting and fascinating piece of cinema for the audiences.”

BREAKING: Salman Khan’s CULT flick Tere Naam to re-release in PVR Inox on February 27

Over the years, Tere Naam (2003) has become a cult film for movie buffs due to its subject, evergreen songs and the performance and hairstyle of lead actor, Salman Khan. As a result, there has been a huge demand for its re-release for a long time. The success of films like Kabir Singh (2019), Animal (2023), Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (2025), Tere Ishk Mein (2025), etc. have further fuelled this demand since these films are considered to be in the same zone as Tere Naam. Moreover, the generation that was either not born or missed watching the film in cinemas has also been consistently demanding a re-release of Tere Naam. It has now come to light that their wish will be fulfilled in less than a month.

Yesterday, January 30, PVR Cinemas revealed that they plan to bring Tere Naam back into cinemas on February 27. As expected, the announcement has led to a wave of jubilation among fans of the superstar and the film.

In 2024, Bollywood Hungama spoke to trade experts and exhibitors on this aspect. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “If the film were released in the present day or had been released even a few years ago, people would have gone crazy.” He also jokingly remarked, “The film is alive even because of memes.”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan had explained, “The audience that liked Kabir Singh and Animal would love Tere Naam. Bhai yeh sab filmein pehle hi kar chuke hai!”

Film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi had opined, “Tere Naam is a cult film. I remember so many youngsters across the country sporting Salman Khan’s hairstyle! It is truly a hallmark of a movie and a star which has resonated in a huge way. If it does re-release with the correct campaign, there’s a lot that can happen.”

Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal had exulted, “If it re-releases, it can do wonders.” Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, in agreement, had stated, “Tere Naam has fantastic music and it was a one-of-its-kind love story at that point in time. I think it has a good chance to do well on its re-release.”

This was also the time when Bollywood Hungama exclusively reached out to producer Sunil Manchanda and asked him if there was any chance that Tere Naam might be re-released. He had told us then, “We haven’t discussed it yet, but we could look at the possibilities. We’d have to study the market and see if it’s worth giving it another round in cinemas and then take it from there.”

More re-releases in February

Tere Naam is not the only film which will have a re-run in February. On February 6, PVR Inox will re-release Shah Rukh Khan’s 2002 film Devdas (2002). Interestingly, the period musical was also re-released in November 2025, as part of the celebrations of Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday. On February 13, Mani Ratnam’s gritty thriller, Yuva (2004), will have a re-release. All three of these films are being released as part of the Valentine’s Day celebrations

Priyadarshan to direct Bhoot Police 2 without Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor: Report

Veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan is reportedly set to direct the sequel to the 2021 horror-comedy Bhoot Police, with significant changes to its cast and production approach. According to industry reports, Priyadarshan has been brought on board with a substantial fee of Rs 21 crores to lead the project, underlining confidence in his creative vision for the franchise’s next chapter.

Sources familiar with the development told entertainment portal Pinkvilla that while Bhoot Police 2 will maintain the core blend of humour and supernatural elements that defined the first film, it will not feature the original leads — Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor. “While the sequel retains the core idea of a horror-comedy, the casting will see a complete refresh. Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor will not be returning for the second instalment,” the source said.

“The idea is to reinvent the franchise with a new duo. The makers are looking at two actors — one senior and one junior — to create an interesting combo. It’s a proper horror-comedy, staying true to the genre but with more of a theatrical treatment,” the insider added.

Bhoot Police, directed by Pavan Kirpalani, originally starred Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam. The film garnered attention for its light-hearted take on ghost-hunting and became popular among audiences on OTT platforms following its 2021 release.

Priyadarshan, known for his work on films such as Hera Pheri, Hungama and Hulchul, is also juggling multiple projects including Bhooth Bangla and Haiwaan, both slated for 2026 releases. Bhooth Bangla — featuring Akshay Kumar — has already locked its theatrical date and marks a reunion between Kumar and the director after more than a decade.

Arijit Singh to get into politics post announcing retirement from singing

If sources are to be believed, Arijit Singh has decided to take the precarious plunge into politics. There are conflicting rumours on his political plans, though.

According to a source very close to the singer, “He feels very close to West Bengal. He is going into politics for sure. But he hasn’t decided whether to start his own party, or join Mamata Banerjee, whom he is very close to. But yes, he is very keen to work for the betterment of the grassroots sections. For this, he thinks politics is the right platform.”

Arijit’s friend describes the singer as a “saint”. “He has earned millions and millions. But he doesn’t spend a penny on himself. He uses his wealth to quietly help the needy.”

Arijit Singh is one of the most admired singers to have emerged from the Indian entertainment industry after he entered the music scene in 2011. His popularity and liking goes beyond the borders of India.

The celebrated singer shocked his fans earlier this week both in India and outside when he announced that he would be taking retirement from singing. He, however, soon clarified that he will continue composing music for movies.

Imran Khan to make a comeback with Bhumi Pednekar

Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan, once a star in Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na, is missing in action for ten years. Back in 2010, Imran was seen as the Next Best Thing alongside Ranbir Kapoor. Imran had the best of roles rolling out at his feet. He decided to turn his back on stardom.

Imran is now all set for a comeback with a hush-hush project. Some digging revealed Imran’s return vehicle is a Netflix film. Imran Khan and Bhumi Pednekar will play a husband and wife in a marital crisis.

Imran made his big debut with uncle Aamir Khan’s production Jaane Tu…. Ya Jaane Na in 2008. The film turned out to be an instant success driven by the youth and Imran became overnight popular. He also gave other successful films, including Delhi Belly in 2011. However, his career then went through a downslide. His last role as the main lead was in Katti Batti in 2015. He made a minor comeback earlier this month in Vir Das’ Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos.

Bhumi, on the other hand, makes her web series debut with Prime Video’s Daldal, which starts streaming from today.
