EXCLUSIVE: Malamaal Weekly 2 in the works; Riteish Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav approached After the romantic genre was revived in 2025 by Saiyaara, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat and Tere Ishk Mein, comic capers are expected to rule the roost in 2026 and 2027. Some exciting films will be released in the next two years like Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Welcome To The Jungle, Dhamaal 4, Bhagam Bhag 2, Hera Pheri 3, Golmaal 5 etc. And now, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that another much-loved title is set to return – Malamaal Weekly 2. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Talks have begun for Malamaal Weekly 2. The team, working on the film, has hit upon a great idea that is apt as the second part of the series. It is not a direct sequel. The characters and setting this time would be different, but just like the first part, it’ll be about a group of greedy villagers who go to insane lengths to get hold of a huge amount of money. ”The source continued, “Paresh Rawal has given his nod but is yet to sign the dotted line. Meanwhile, talks are going on with Riteish Deshmukh and Rajpal Yadav. ”Riteish Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav were also part of Malamaal Weekly, which was released 20 years ago in March 2006. The film revolved around the only educated man in a village who discovers that one of the villagers has won a lottery prize of Rs. 1 crore. But the winner has died.

Kerala HC Division Bench hears appeal against stay on The Kerala Story 2; verdict reserved The release of The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond hit a legal hurdle on Thursday after the Kerala High Court convened a special evening sitting to hear an urgent appeal filed by the film’s producers. The appeal was moved after a single-judge bench earlier in the day stayed the film’s release for 15 days and directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine complaints raised against it. What triggered the appeal At around 2. 30 pm, Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas passed an interim order restraining the release of the film while asking the CBFC to consider revision petitions filed by the objectors within two weeks. The judge observed that there appeared to be a prima facie lack of application of mind by the CBFC while granting certification. The film, however, is slated for release on Friday, including in international markets, prompting the producers to seek immediate relief. Division Bench questions process A Division Bench of Justices SA Dharmadhikari and PV Balakrishnan assembled at 7. 30 pm and heard arguments for nearly two hours before reserving its verdict. During the hearing, the Bench raised concerns about whether the single judge had the jurisdiction to hear the matter in the first place. “Order passed by any bench outside jurisdiction will be automatically nullified,” the Bench remarked. Justice Dharmadhikari also observed that the proceedings appeared to have... #Kerala #High_Court #Kerala_Story #Kerala_High #Story #Court_convened #Division_Bench #Bench #legal_hurdle #special_evening

Sai Pallavi to replace Deepika Padukone in Kalki 2 after latter opts out over fee dispute Sai Pallavi is clearly on a roll. After reportedly locking in the coveted role of Sita in Ramayana, she is also set to star opposite Junaid Khan in Ek Din. And there’s more. Sai Pallavi has now been finalised to replace Deepika Padukone in Nag Ashwin’s much-anticipated sequel, Kalki 2. A member of the Kalki 2 cast confirmed the development, saying, “It is Sai (replacing Deepika). There was never any question of scrapping the role after Deepika’s exit. ”Deepika’s departure from the sequel reportedly followed a fallout with the team. According to sources, the actress sought a substantial hike in her remuneration for the sequel, along with specific working-hour conditions to accommodate her responsibilities as a new mother. An insider revealed, “Deepika wanted almost 35 percent more for the sequel than what she received for the first film. It became difficult to align on terms. She eventually exited, and now Sai Pallavi has stepped in. ”While there has been no official statement from the makers, the casting shift is expected to significantly alter the dynamic of the sequel, which remains one of the most awaited big-ticket projects in the pipeline.
