Yeh Prem Mol Liya: Himesh Reshammiya to launch title track of Ayushmann Khurrana, Sharvari starrer live with 25-piece orchestra on September 20

Rajshri Productions and Himesh Reshammiya Melodies have unveiled a motion poster for the title track of Yeh Prem Mol Liya, building anticipation ahead of the song’s launch on September 20. The upcoming track will be introduced through a live musical event at Mumbai’s Royal Opera House, where composer and singer Himesh Reshammiya will perform with an orchestra of 25 musicians.

The motion poster offers a glimpse of the title track ahead of the special event, which will take place a few months before the film’s theatrical release. Instead of a conventional digital launch, the makers have opted for a live musical evening to introduce the song. Sharing the motion poster on social media, the makers wrote, “A little glimpse of the magic that’s coming your way… Can’t wait for you to experience our title track in all its glory!”

Music forms an important part of Yeh Prem Mol Liya, with Himesh Reshammiya composing the songs for the film. The project also marks another collaboration between Reshammiya and filmmaker Sooraj R. Barjatya after their association on Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

The upcoming film brings together Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari as a fresh pairing. The two actors will be seen sharing screen space for the first time in the musical family entertainer. Directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya, Yeh Prem Mol Liya is produced by Rajshri Productions in association with Mahaveer Jain Films.

The makers have positioned the film around themes of love and family, with the music expected to play a significant role in establishing its emotional world. The album reportedly features seven songs composed by Himesh Reshammiya, with the music created around a brief calling for simple, soulful and accessible songs.

The September 20 event at the Royal Opera House will therefore mark the first major unveiling of the film’s musical world. With Reshammiya performing alongside a 25-member orchestra, the title track launch will bring together the film’s music and its traditional family-entertainer positioning.

Yeh Prem Mol Liya is scheduled to release theatrically on November 27. The film marks Sooraj R. Barjatya’s latest directorial venture and brings a new lead pair to a Rajshri Productions family-oriented story.

Rohit Shetty confirms Golmaal 5 cast; reveals release date with a ‘whistle-worthy’ motion poster

After months of speculation, Rohit Shetty has officially confirmed that Golmaal 5 is in the works, announcing the news on September 19 with a motion poster featuring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and the usual cast as well as a locked release date. The filmmaker, who recently shot as the host of Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, is set to return to one of his most beloved franchises. The announcement comes nine years after Golmaal Again, the fourth instalment in the series.

Taking to Instagram, Rohit Shetty shared the motion poster, complete with the franchise's signature whistle tune from its background score. Announcing the film, he wrote, "LAUGHTER, FUN, JOY, HAPPINESS AND FAMILY... BAS, NOTHING ELSE." He also revealed the release date in a follow-up post, confirming the film will hit theatres on "8TH JAN 2027."

What makes this instalment particularly special for fans is the return of the complete original gang, including Sharman Joshi, who last featured in the franchise all the way back in 2006. The reunion is expected to bring back the franchise's most loved dynamics, including the running rivalry between Ajay Devgn and Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor's signature "Ae ah oh" gag, and the new twist would the chemistry of the trio - Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu and Sharman Joshi.

Details about the rest of the cast, including who will play the leading lady or ladies, are currently being kept under wraps. In the franchise's history, Kareena Kapoor Khan remains the only actress to have appeared in two instalments, Golmaal 2 and Golmaal 3, playing Ajay Devgn's love interest. Golmaal 4 aka Golmaal Again saw Tabu and Ajay Devgn reunite in a horror-comedy setting for the first time following their earlier collaborations, while it also marked Parineeti Chopra's first film with Rohit Shetty.

Interestingly, hints of a fifth instalment date back to 2018, when Arshad Warsi, along with his Golmaal co-stars, appeared in the dance video for the remixed version of ‘Aankh Maare’ in Simmba. The group had performed a step during the video that many fans later interpreted as a subtle nod to the franchise's future.

With the cast reunion now confirmed and the release date locked, anticipation around Golmaal 5 is expected to build steadily in the months ahead.

Isopure responds after Bipasha Basu alleges worms in protein powder: “Quality team evaluating pack”

Protein brand Isopure has issued a statement after actor Bipasha Basu alleged that she found worms in a newly opened container of its protein powder. In a video shared on social media, Bipasha claimed the product was contaminated, prompting an immediate response from the company.

“ISOPURE remains firmly committed to maintaining high standards of product quality and consumer safety. We connected promptly with the concerned Indian celebrity consumer, addressed her immediate concern, and appreciate her acknowledgement of our response. Our Quality team is currently evaluating the pack for authenticity and quality,” the company said in its statement.

In the clip circulated by the actress, Bipasha showed what appeared to be a small worm on her finger and stated that there were several others inside the container. “This Isopure is full of small worms. Tiny, tiny worms. The new dabba that we’ve opened,” she said while displaying the contents. Adding, “These are the worms inside it, full of it,” Bipasha alleged that the product was compromised.

The actor also sought regulatory intervention by tagging Tukaram Mundhe, Commissioner of Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In her Instagram Story, she wrote, “@tukaram ias You are our only hope... So, we don't get spoilt or adulterated stuff in everything we purchase.”

Bipasha’s post arrives amid heightened attention on food safety and hygiene concerns involving products and establishments in Maharashtra. However, the specific allegation regarding the protein powder has not been independently verified at this stage.

The incident follows Bipasha’s recent digital cover appearance for Elle, where she discussed work, motherhood and making bold choices despite being advised against them. Her latest social media update, however, shifted focus from professional projects to a consumer safety concern that has quickly sparked widespread discussion online.

As Isopure’s quality team evaluates the pack, all eyes will be on the outcome of the investigation and whether further regulatory action follows.

CONFIRMED: Ajay Devgn-starrer Ranger pushed to 2027; WON’T clash with Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan’s comic caper, Eetha

Ajay Devgn is currently gearing up for the much-awaited Drishyam The Conclusion. The thriller releases in cinemas on October 2 and marks the veteran actor’s second release of the year after the super-hit Dhamaal 4. His next film, tentatively-titled Ranger, co-starring Sanjay Dutt and Tamannaah Bhatia, was expected to arrive in cinemas on December 4. However, since last month, there have been reports that the film has been pushed to 2027.

Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the film has indeed been postponed and will release only next year. A source told us, “The film should release after Eid, which falls in March 2027. Hence, expect Ranger to be a summer release, which would be apt. It’s a jungle adventure and would be an ideal film to release during the school and college holidays.”

December 4, meanwhile, will now see the release of Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan-Raashii Khanna’s untitled comic caper, directed by Anees Bazmee. It will clash with Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Eetha. There’s also a possibility of Prabhas’ period action drama, Fauzi, releasing on December 3. However, as per trade sources, it’s unlikely and like Ranger, it maybe pushed to 2027.

This means Ajay Devgn will have just two releases in 2026. According to an August report in Mid-Day, Ranger features Ajay as a forest officer determined to protect tigers. However, his mission is made increasingly difficult by an inefficient team, corrupt superiors and a ruthless gang of poachers led by Sanjay Dutt, who plays the antagonist.

The Mid-Day report also said that the climax was shot last month in Mumbai, after which the makers plan to film a special dance number with Tamannaah Bhatia and Ajay Devgn.

Ranger is produced by Luv Ranjan and directed by Jagan Shakti. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama in January 2026, Luv said, “Ajay sir and Sanju sir have worked together so many times in these 25 years. Yet, they have never done an action film together. It is very shocking. It is extremely exciting that we’ll get to see them in an action film for the first time.”

SCOOP: Rajat Kapoor joins Akshay Kumar’s Samuk; actor to play a pivotal role

Akshay Kumar and Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s Samuk is continuing to build an eclectic ensemble, and we hear acclaimed actor-filmmaker Rajat Kapoor is the latest name to come on board the sci-fi action thriller.

According to sources, Kapoor is said to be playing a pivotal part in the Kanishk Varma directorial, which is being produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under Sunshine Pictures and co-produced by Aashin A Shah. The film, currently being shot in the UK, is being mounted as a large-scale theatrical spectacle combining science fiction, action and survival elements.

Kapoor is known for bringing a certain assured nuance and intelligence to his performances. Over the years, he has moved fluidly between character-driven parts and mainstream Hindi cinema, with performances in films such as Monsoon Wedding (2001), Bheja Fry (2007), Kapoor & Sons (2016), Mulk (2018), Drishyam (2015), Drishyam 2 (2022), Gehraiyaan (2022), etc., thus forming part of an unusually varied body of work. Recently, Rajat Kapoor was part of the ensemble of Netflix’s Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) and was also seen in Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga (2026).

Rajat Kapoor brings a very different quality to the ensemble. He has the ability to deliver an assured performance which amps up the movie, and that is important for a film like Samuk. The role has weight within the story, and the makers felt he was the right fit.

Kapoor’s reported addition gives Samuk yet another interesting casting, bringing together performers with very different screen energies around Akshay Kumar.

Samuk marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah after a gap of 13 years. The project has been in development for over two years and is being mounted on a large scale for theatrical audiences.

SCOOP: After Mirzapur The Movie’s success, Divyenndu set to headline a period drama next; to be seen in a never-seen-before avatar

2 weeks have passed since the release of Mirzapur The Movie and it continues to remain rock-steady. One of its lead actors, Divyenndu, appears to be gearing up for yet another interesting turn in his career. After making his presence felt across films and streaming projects in 2026, industry buzz suggests that the actor could next headline an ambitious period drama, which is currently in production.

The yet-untitled project is being produced by Endemol, and while the makers have kept details surrounding the film and Divyenndu’s character tightly under wraps, sources suggest that the actor will be seen in a striking, never-seen-before avatar. If the development is indeed true, the period drama would mark yet another unexplored space for the versatile performer.

2026 has already emerged as a significant year for Divyenndu. The actor has enjoyed the success of Peddi and Mirzapur The Movie, while also making an impact in the streaming space with Netflix’s Glory. The varied slate has once again highlighted his ability to move seamlessly between formats, genres and vastly different characters.

Interestingly, the year also marks 15 years since Divyenndu’s breakthrough with Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011). Since then, the actor has steadily built a career around distinct roles and unconventional choices rather than allowing himself to be confined to a particular image.

From comedy and crime to action and drama, Divyenndu has repeatedly experimented with his screen persona. A period drama, therefore, could offer audiences another fresh side of the actor and add a new dimension to his evolving filmography.

For now, details regarding the period, scale, supporting cast and Divyenndu’s role remain under wraps. An official announcement from the makers is awaited.

Meanwhile, Mirzapur The Movie is all set to cross the Rs. 200 crore mark in the coming weekend. Its success has stunned the industry, especially as it marks the first time in India that a popular series has been turned into a theatrical film.
