Is This Thing On? is Cooper’s third film as writer/director – and his third to wonder whether performing saves or destroys your love life. He and stars Will Arnett, Laura Dern and Andra Day talk gags, growth and relationship goals Last Christmas, the audience at an open-mic night in New York welcomed to the stage a new standup. Alex Novak, he said his name was. Mildly funny, bit depressed. Mostly told jokes about getting divorced. Weirdest thing though: he looked exactly like that guy from Arrested Development . “I was so naively unaware of what to expect,” says Will Arnett, almost a year later. “I’ve been comedy-adjacent for a lot of my life, but not a comedian. I had no idea what I was in for.” Continue reading... from Film | The Guardian https://ift.tt/hBIcyrg via IFTTT

A few days ago, the makers of Drishyam 3 announced that their highly anticipated film will be released on October 2, 2026. The press note mentioned the name of the leading actors of the film – Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran and Rajat Kapoor. Akshaye Khanna’s name was missing and it raised eyebrows. The actor is on a high after Dhurandhar and hence, fans were looking forward to seeing him in the next part of Drishyam, especially when he rocked the show in Drishyam 2 (2022). Meanwhile, reports emerged that he had walked out of the third part due to remuneration differences. Bollywood Hungama has now found more information about what led to his exit. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Akshaye was menacing as the villain in Chhaava, while he stole the show, and how, in Dhurandhar. He has become the next big thing. Realizing the same, he decided to revise his fees. Accordingly, he asked for Rs. 21 crores from the makers of Drishyam 3.” The source continued, “The makers of Drishyam 3 were t...

Tiger Shroff and Lakshya are gearing up to shoot a major dance-off sequence for their upcoming film Lag Jaa Gale, with a large production number scheduled to be shot at Mukesh Mills in Colaba starting December 24, 2025. The sequence is being described by insiders, quoted by a Mid-Day report, as a full-scale dance battle designed to showcase contrasting performance styles between the two actors. The report stated that choreographer Ganesh Acharya has crafted the routine, which involves over 100 professional dancers and is expected to be wrapped up by December 29. The beat-driven number is reportedly structured to highlight Tiger’s explosive, athletic dance approach alongside Lakshya’s more fluid and relaxed style, with rehearsals underway for the past three weeks. The dance face-off adds a new layer of excitement to Lag Jaa Gale, a revenge action-drama produced by Dharma Productions and directed by Raj Mehta. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor, with whom Tiger Shroff shares screen spac...

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, is all set to release tomorrow. The advance booking has picked up since Monday night and the romcom is all set to take a decent start at the box office. Interestingly, an interesting development has happened, probably for the first time ever, with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. It’s generally understood that in most multiplexes, the front-row seats are priced the lowest, and the ticket rates steadily rise as you move towards the middle and back rows. But in the case of PVR Oberoi Mall Goregaon East, the unthinkable has happened. Here, you’ll have to shell out a higher price if you want to see the musical entertainer in the first three rows. But your ticket will be cheaper if you select the middle or the back rows! For the 8:00 am and 10:45 am show of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri on December 25, the first three rows, which come under the Classic category, are available for Rs. 370. But the Prim...

Singer’s final decades can’t really be called his creative golden years but there are touching contributions from his collaborators It feels like the Bowie nostalgia industry is getting out of hand, what with London’s V&A Storeroom opening its David Bowie Centre this year, comprehensive 2022 documentary Moonage Daydream and 2017 BBC show David Bowie: The Last Five Years , among others. So this new film covering Bowie’s final decades could be a tough sell for non-completists: the 90s and 00s were not, let’s be honest, the Bowie’s golden years, creatively or reputationally. After his perpetual self-reinvention during the 70s and early 80s, fans were somewhat baffled by his new band Tin Machine, which critic Jon Wilde dismissed as “glorified pub rock” in his scathing Melody Maker review (even Wilde shakes his head as he reads it out again here; the last line is: “You’re a fucking disgrace.”) It’s not all doom and gloom, though, even if Bowie seemed to be following the zeitgeist ra...

Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli, who earlier collaborated on Waltair Veerayya, are all set to reunite for their second project together. Multiple sources reveal that Mohanlal will join Chiranjeevi for the first time in his career. The two legends have long expressed deep admiration for each other’s work and often meet socially whenever they are in the same city. Surprisingly, no one has previously attempted to bring Mohanlal and Chiranjeevi together on screen, making this collaboration a historic first for Indian cinema. Shedding more light on the project, a source reveals, “Chiranjeevi plays the lead, while Mohanlal makes a powerful entry midway through the film—much like Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic appearance in Andha Kanoon.” Also Read: Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh reunite for a high-energy dance number in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu from Latest Bollywood News | Hindi Movie News | Hindi Cinema News | Indian Movies | Films - Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/4H6hkUD via IFTT...

Akshaye Khanna is currently enjoying a strong career resurgence, thanks to his power-packed performance in Dhurandhar. The actor has been widely praised for his restrained yet impactful screen presence, and the success of the recently released Ranveer Singh–starrer spy drama has firmly placed him back in the spotlight. Adding to this momentum, Khanna was also part of another blockbuster of 2025 — Chhaava as the lead antagonist— further consolidating his standing as one of the most reliable performers in the industry today. With this renewed demand, it comes as little surprise that Akshaye Khanna has reportedly revised his remuneration. However, this fee hike may have had a ripple effect on one of the most anticipated films currently in production — Drishyam 3. For the unversed, Akshaye played a crucial role in Drishyam 2, the Hindi adaptation of the popular Malayalam thriller franchise led by Ajay Devgn and Tabu. His character added a significant narrative layer to the sequel, with au...

Two days are left for the release of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, and the excitement is slowly building up thanks to its fresh look, youthful appeal, music and casting. The advance booking of the film commenced over the weekend and in this article, Bollywood Hungama will inform readers about the demand put forward by Dharma Productions’ in-house distribution team in front of the single-screen theatres and multiplexes. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “The team of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri are aware that Dhurandhar is still unstoppable and will continue to find a huge audience on Christmas, when their film will arrive in cinemas. They also know that Avatar: Fire And Ash has taken up several shows and screens. Hence, they have asked for fair and modest showcasing, keeping in mind the realities.” The source continued, “The distribution team of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has asked for a minimum of 2 shows in theat...

As 2025 draws to a close, the year stands out as a surprising one for the Indian film industry, marked by several sleeper hits. While the year is set to end with Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, anticipation around a slate of 2026 releases is steadily building. One of the most keenly awaited among them is Shahid Kapoor’s fourth collaboration with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, O Romeo. The makers appear keen to wrap up filming quickly, with the final leg of the shoot scheduled to begin on December 28. The team is unlikely to take a break for New Year celebrations, as Bhardwaj plans to kick off a 10-day patch shoot at Vrundavan Studios in Malad. According to a report by Mid-Day, this phase will include action sequences and dialogue-heavy scenes. A source quoted by the publication revealed, “It’s a patch shoot, with some action and dialogue-heavy scenes lined up.” The report further stated that the first two days will largely focus on Shahid Kapoor’s portions, while co-...
