Rohit Shetty clarifies his social media presence after fake post about Gaurav Gupta’s Bigg Boss 20 roast goes viral: “My only official social media presence is on Instagram”

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has issued a clarification regarding his official social media accounts after a post allegedly shared by him about comedian Gaurav Gupta’s roast of Bigg Boss 20 contestants Scout OP and Love Gill gained attention online. The filmmaker has now addressed the speculation, making it clear that he is not active on every social media platform.

Taking to Instagram, Rohit clarified that it is the only platform where he maintains an official social media presence. He also specifically stated that he does not have accounts on Facebook or X (formerly Twitter), cautioning people against mistaking profiles impersonating him for his official accounts.

Rohit wrote, “I would like to clarify that my only official social media presence is on Instagram. I am not present on Facebook or X.”

The filmmaker also addressed the circulation of unauthorised profiles using his name and identity. Warning users against engaging with such accounts, he said, "Any account or profile claiming to be me on these platforms is fake and unauthorised."

Reiterating his request, Rohit urged people not to associate any content shared through these profiles with him. “I request everyone to not engage with such accounts or consider any content posted through them as coming from me. Thank you for your understanding and continued support,” he wrote.

Rohit's clarification comes amid discussions surrounding a post attributed to him that began circulating online following Gaurav Gupta's roast of Bigg Boss 20 contestants Scout OP and Love Gill. The viral post appeared to take a stand against humour that crosses the line into personal insults. It reportedly carried the message, "Friendly roasting theek hai par roasting ke naam par kisi ka mazaak udaana band hona chahiye."

The post further stated, “Hansana achhi baat hai, lekin kisi ko rulakar ya insult karke hansna nahi. Respect everyone!”

The alleged post was being linked to Gaurav's jokes about Scout OP's relationship with his girlfriend, Kaashvi Hiranandani, as well as his equation with fellow contestant Love Gill. As the message gained traction, several social media users speculated that Rohit had indirectly commented on the comedian's performance.

However, with his latest clarification, the filmmaker has distanced himself from the Facebook and X profiles circulating such content, reiterating that Instagram remains his only official social media platform.

EXCLUSIVE: Suniel Shetty reveals Awara Paagal Deewana sequel will go on floors early next year: “It’s happening for sure”; also lists Sabse Bada Rupaiya as another upcoming film

It’s the season of sequels where even older films are converted into franchises. The recent successful example of the same was the Emraan Hashmi-starrer Awarapan 2. There have been quite a few discussions and comments on the sequel to the 2002 entertainer Awara Paagal Deewana. Now, Suniel Shetty, who played Yeda Anna in the flick, has confirmed that the second part will go on floors soon.

In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Shetty said, “The sequel is happening for sure. I think early next year for sure.” When asked if he means that the film will go on floors early next year, he said, “Yeah yeah.” The veteran actor touched upon this topic while speaking about the Season 2 of his business reality show Bharat Ke Super Founders. Earlier this year, Shetty had given a hint about the film’s sequel in an Instagram post but hadn’t shared any details about when it would go on floors.

Produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, Awara Paagal Deewana was an action comedy also starring Akshay Kumar, Aftab Shivdasani, Paresh Rawal, Amrita Arora, Aarti Chhabria, Preeti Jhangiani, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Om Puri, Johnny Lever and Rahul Dev.

Shetty has had a good outing in 2026 with his multi-starrer Welcome To The Jungle attaining success. When this was pointed out to him, he was quick to add, “I also had Border 2. I was there for one scene but I take that as a success as that’s finally our franchise. I am very happy with the way things are going. Also because of the success of the Season 1 of Bharat Ke Super Founders.”

The actor said that these days he has been choosing projects on the impact they are going to make. “Whether I choose my brands or movies or anything that I do, it should have a positive impact on people,” he said. “It should bring about some change. Either you provide pure entertainment or stay absolutely neutral with your choice of cinema without hurting anybody’s sentiments. I don’t want to do that ever.”

Shetty is happy with the way the year has been for Hindi cinema at the box office. “The first half was brilliant,” he said. “The second quarter is extraordinary and the last quarter looks insane with the kind of films and their success. I am super happy about that. Only if we could have more exhibitors, theatres, lower ticket prices and cheaper popcorns; then I will be happier.”

Apart from Awara Paagal Deewana part 2, Shetty has a couple of more films for which he is looking forward to. “I have got Hitman and another film called Sabse Bada Rupaiya. And (other) films that are really exciting and I am looking forward to them. (They have) different scripts and very different stories,” he signed off.

Salman Khan returns in an action-packed avatar In Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, trailer out now

Salman Khan’s upcoming film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace has unveiled its trailer, offering a glimpse into a story that explores patriotism, sacrifice and the human cost of war. At a time when the need for peace is being felt across the world, the film appears to highlight the emotional realities of those who serve the nation and the families who stand behind them.

The trailer takes viewers into the life of a soldier, where the demands of duty often come at the cost of personal relationships and precious moments with family. It highlights the uncertainty faced by the loved ones of soldiers, for whom every goodbye carries the possibility of being the last. Beyond the battlefield, the narrative appears to focus on the emotional challenges and sacrifices experienced by both those serving the country and their families.

Alongside its emotional storyline, the trailer features action-packed sequences, intense hand-to-hand combat and striking visuals. However, the larger message goes beyond the spectacle of war, highlighting how conflicts leave lasting consequences on both sides. Lives are lost, families are affected, and the impact of war extends far beyond the battlefield. At its core, Maatrubhumi explores how patriotism and the desire for peace can coexist.

Running for approximately 4.5 minutes, the trailer brings together action, emotion and drama. Despite its extended runtime, the narrative maintains a brisk pace, with transitions between intense sequences and emotional moments keeping the presentation engaging throughout.

The trailer also sets the stage for a major theatrical release, bringing together Salman Khan's screen presence, action sequences, patriotic themes and emotionally driven storytelling. These elements could contribute to audience anticipation ahead of the film's release.

Salman Khan appears in an action-oriented avatar, while his pairing with Chitrangda Singh adds an emotional dimension to the story. The film also features picturesque locations, cinematography and music that contribute to its overall presentation.

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced under the banner of Salman Khan Films, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace also stars Chitrangda Singh in a prominent role.

EXCLUSIVE: Shaad Randhawa's DOUBLE DHAMAAL on November 27! Actor to feature in BOTH Ayushmann Khurrana's Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Emraan Hashmi's Gunmaaster G9

Shaad Randhawa has been a lucky charm since his debut film, Woh Lamhe (2006). He was then seen in other memorable films like Awarapan (2007), Aashiqui 2 (2013), Ek Villain (2014), etc. In 2025, he was the only common actor in the sleeper successes Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat; that's when he became a sensation on the internet and finally got his due. Earlier this year, he appeared in just one shot in Awarapan 2, and it was enough to generate whistles and hoots from moviegoers. Last year, it came to light that Shaad Randhawa had signed Sooraj Barjatya's Yeh Prem Mol Liya, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari. The film releases on November 27 and will clash with Gunmaaster G9. Bollywood Hungama has learned that Shaad is a part of the latter film as well.

In other words, Shaad will once again reunite with Emraan Hashmi after Awarapan and Awarapan 2. Interestingly, last month, Shaad Randhawa posted a picture in which he could be seen posing with Emraan Hashmi and Gunmaaster G9's director, Aditya Datt. In the caption, he wrote, ‘#GunmasterG9 ... Yeh film mein bhi ghuss jao kya?? Kya bolte bhai log?’. Many assumed that he was joking and had probably just paid a visit to Emraan and Aditya on the sets of Gunmaaster G9, with no actual role in the film.

However, a source told Bollywood Hungama, “Shaad Randhawa has a crucial role in Gunmaaster G9. The makers approached him and he was too happy to be a part of it. He shares a great camaraderie with Emraan off-screen as well and hence, the whole team was happy to have him on board.”

This is the first time in Shaad Randhawa’s 20-year-old career that he’ll have two releases on the same day. Both films are poles apart – while Yeh Prem Mol Liya is a clean family entertainer, Gunmaaster G9 is a massy musical actioner.

Gunmaaster G9’s trailer will be unveiled tomorrow, November 11, as announced by the makers. The promo is 2 minutes and 40 seconds long and has received an ‘A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Earlier in the day, Bollywood Hungama reported that the trailer will be launched in a grand fashion at a multiplex in Pune.

EXCLUSIVE: Gunmaaster G9’s trailer to be launched in a grand fashion at a Pune multiplex

Emraan Hashmi bounced back as a hit machine with the recently released Awarapan 2. The film was a huge success, so expectations are immense for his next, Gunmaaster G9. The release of the film is less than three weeks away and its songs have already got noticed. Yesterday, the team behind the film announced that the much-awaited trailer will be out tomorrow, November 11. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the makers have even organized an event to unveil the trailer.

A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “The trailer launch of films usually happens in Mumbai. But the team of Gunmaaster G9 decided to adopt an out-of-the-box approach. Hence, they are all set to launch the trailer of the film in a multiplex in Pune.”

The source explained, “Pune has a huge fan base for Emraan Hashmi and is one of the top-performing centres of the country. Hence, it made sense for the makers and the cast to travel to Pune to launch the trailer of their film.”

Bollywood Hungama has learned that Gunmaaster G9’s trailer event will be held at City Pride in Pune’s Kothrud area. The source added, “The whole team will be present at the launch and hence, it’ll be one of the most memorable events of the year.”

Gunmaaster G9’s trailer was passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with an ‘A’ certificate on November 5. It has a runtime of 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The source revealed, “The teaser and the songs have given a hint about the world of the film and its characters. The trailer will now give a clear understanding of the film’s plot and of course will be full of mass-appealing moments.”

Besides Emraan Hashmi, the action entertainer also stars Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana. It is directed by Aditya Datt with music by none other than Himesh Reshammiya. Gunmaaster G9 is produced by Deepak Mukut, Sangeeta Ahir and Hunar Mukut. The action musical entertainer releases in cinemas this month, on November 27.

As Ramayana faces capacity issues, cinemas add UNBELIEVABLE number of midnight shows amid Diwali rush; fans can watch Ranbir Kapoor-Yash starrer even at 4:50 am!

The craze for Ramayana seems to be reaching another level as the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer has started getting an unusually high number of post-midnight shows in several cities. Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad, in particular, are witnessing an extraordinary demand for the mythological epic.

Usually, shows between 12:00 am and 6:00 am are added during the first weekend of a big-ticket release, especially when advance bookings are phenomenal and theatres struggle to accommodate the demand. However, Ramayana has followed a different trajectory. The film was released on Thursday, November 5, just ahead of Diwali. The pre-Diwali period traditionally sees subdued footfalls as many moviegoers are occupied with shopping, preparations and festivities. As a result, a significant section of the audience was unable to catch the film during its initial days.

Now, with the holiday season kicking in, audiences are heading to cinemas in huge numbers. This has created capacity issues at several properties. To accommodate the rush, exhibitors have started adding post-midnight screenings. However, what makes Ramayana stand out is the sheer number of these shows.

Mumbai leads the midnight madness

On Tuesday, November 10, among the 3D shows, Movietime Cubic Mall has a screening at 12:35 am, while MovieMax Sion has two shows at 1:15 am and 2:10 am. Cinepolis Lake Shore Thane has a show at 12:40 am, while Maxus Borivali has screenings at 12:50 am and 2:05 am. PVR Chakala has scheduled a 1:10 am show.

One of the most striking examples is Maxus Bhayander, which has three 3D shows at 12:50 am, 2:05 am and an astonishing 4:50 am! MovieMax Kanjurmarg has a show at 12:20 am, while Cinepolis Bhandup has one at 12:45 am.

In Thane, MovieMax Eternity Mall has screenings at 12:30 am and 1:15 am, while MovieMax Wonder Mall has a 1:00 am show. MovieMax Kalyan has a screening at 12:30 am, while MovieMax Mira Road has scheduled one at 1:15 am.

Viewers can also experience 2D and 4DX shows at this ungodly hour. Speaking of 2D, INOX Malad has a show at 1:30 am, Maxus Borivali at 3:05 am, Maxus Bhayander at 1:20 am and MovieMax Kanjurmarg at 1:20 am. INOX Raghuleela, Kandivali, has a screening at 1:10 am, while PVR Lido has a show at 1:55 am. Meanwhile, those wishing to experience Ramayana in 4DX can head to Cinepolis Lake Shore Thane, which has scheduled a screening at 12:10 am.

Pune and Ahmedabad also join the frenzy

The midnight craze is not restricted to Mumbai. Pune, too, is witnessing late-night screenings of Ramayana. Cinepolis Aundh has scheduled a show at 12:05 am, while MovieMax Amanora Town Centre has one at 12:20 am. MovieMax Gold has gone a step further with a screening at 2:10 am.

Ahmedabad is also witnessing a similar trend. For the 3D version, Connplex Prahladnagar has a show at 1:45 am, Connplex Gandhinagar at 12:55 am and PVR Satyamev Emporio at 2:00 am.

The 2D version, meanwhile, has screenings at Cineprex Hanspura (1:00 am), PVR Acropolis (1:15 am), PVR Arved Transcube (1:00 am), Cineprime Nikol (12:55 am) and The Cinestar Miniplex, SP Ring Road (2:15 am).

Shockingly, not a single IMAX show has been added between 12:00 am and 6:00 am in any city in India, despite the extraordinary demand for the premium format. Nevertheless, the sheer number of post-midnight shows across multiple cities is a testament to the film’s growing demand and the extraordinary lengths exhibitors are going to accommodate the festive rush.
