EXCLUSIVE: Anupria Goenka BLASTS fake Instagram post on intimate scene claim: "Who would cross all boundaries? I have a mind of my own...It paints such a feeble picture of a woman" Thanks to affordable internet and the surge of social media, information travels faster than ever. The flip side, however, is that fake news and disinformation also have the potential to spread like wildfire. Prominent actress Anupria Goenka experienced this last week when an Instagram handle called ‘Sarcastic Tube’ put up a post attributing a quote to her. The alleged quote claimed that an actor lost control and crossed all limits while shooting an intimate scene with her. The post further claimed that Anupria couldn’t understand what was happening during the scene. The shocking part is that Anupria never made any such statement. She immediately called out the mischief-monger page on her Instagram story and slammed them for their behaviour. It’s been seven days since the controversial post was uploaded, and it continues to remain on the page. At the time of publishing this article, the post could still be seen on the Instagram handle and had not been deleted despite the actress tagging the page and making it clear that she never gave any such quote. Anupria Goenka recently spoke to Bollywood Hungama exclusively for IIZ: Indian Institute Of Zombies. When asked about this controversial post and whether she plans to take legal action against the handle, Anupria said, “I don’t want to, as I d... #EXCLUSIVE #Instagram #Anupria_Goenka #post #Instagram_handle #Goenka_BLASTS #BLASTS_fake #Anupria #BLASTS #Goenka

Don’t okay anything without QC’. ”Vikram continued, “I am happy for her. It wasn’t easy for a girl who spent her pregnancy running around. She was mentioned in the FIR, but thankfully, the chargesheet didn’t include her name. The poor thing was stressed and had a miserable pregnancy. To all the people who wished her ill, I want to tell them – you all failed. ”Does he feel that the baby would start a new chapter in Vikram Bhatt’s life?

EXCLUSIVE: Anand Pandit on how technology is reshaping cinema, but emotion still remains its soul; cites example of Raanjhanaa's AI-modified re-release What happens when cinema begins to dream beyond the limits of reality itself? In truth, films were never meant to remain confined to realism alone. Across generations, audiences have always been drawn to grand cinematic spectacles, fantasy and wonder. What has changed today is the scale and precision with which filmmakers can bring those dreams alive. From silent films to talkies, black and white to colour, 35mm to 70mm, CinemaScope, Dolby Sound and IMAX, cinema has continuously moved alongside technology to create richer viewing experiences. But today, technology is doing far more than improving presentation. Artificial Intelligence, virtual production and advanced visual effects are shaping the way stories are imagined, mounted and experienced, and Indian cinema is stepping into this phase with confidence and curiosity. Even before digital technology became central to filmmaking, Indian cinema was creating grand visual worlds through imagination, craftsmanship and sheer human effort. When Mughal-e-Azam became a landmark success, it showed how studio spaces could be transformed into majestic royal settings that still hold their charm today. Similarly, Sholay turned the rugged terrain of Ramanagaram into a world inseparable from the film’s impact. What made these films memorable was not technology alone, but the way eve... #Raanjhanaa #technology #EXCLUSIVE #Anand #Anand_Pandit #Pandit #Raanjhanaa_AI-modified #AI-modified_re-release #reshaping_cinema #cinema_begins

EXCLUSIVE: No direct-to-OTT release for Maatrubhumi; Salman Khan determined to bring his film to cinemas On Saturday, April 11, Bollywood Hungama reported that, following directives from the Ministry of Defence, China will not be named in the Salman Khan-starrer Maatrubhumi. The news went viral in no time and became not just a trending Bollywood topic but also national news. Meanwhile, murmurs began circulating that the film might not be released in cinemas and that the makers were considering bringing it directly to an OTT platform. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that there is no truth to this chatter. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Salman continues to be a mega star and he has mounted Maatrubhumi on a grand scale. It’s a film for the big screen and hence, he and director Apoorva Lakhia are committed to releasing the film theatrically once the issues surrounding the film are resolved. ”An industry insider commented, “There’s a general misconception among certain people that there’s no censorship on OTT. Hence, they feel that if Salman Khan opts to skip a theatrical release, he’ll be able to drop the film on OTT without any problem. However, that’s not how it works. Every film that releases directly on streaming platforms also goes through the certification process, just like any theatrical film. So, even for a direct-to-OTT premiere, the government must clear the film before it can be presented to the public. ”On April 11, Bollywood Hungama quoted a source who ... #EXCLUSIVE #Bollywood #Salman_Khan #Salman_Khan-starrer #Bollywood_Hungama #film #Hungama_reported #Hungama #Khan-starrer_Maatrubhumi #Khan_determined

At first, many assumed it was a technical glitch, as ticket sales usually open just a few days, or at best a week, before a film’s release. However, it soon became clear that this was no error and that the makers had indeed decided to open bookings for the Junaid Khan-Sai Pallavi starrer, that too 39 days in advance.

Sonu Nigam said, “It feels like a quiet victory, not loud, not dramatic, but deeply meaningful. For years, the voice created value but did not always receive its share of that value. Today feels like a moment of correction. Not just for me, but for every singer who has given their soul to a song. It is a sense of dignity returning.

EXCLUSIVE: R Madhavan sneaks into Mumbai’s Chitra Cinema to watch Dhurandhar The Revenge; here’s how he made sure moviegoers didn’t realize he was seated among them For a celebrity, watching their own film in a theatre is always a risk, as there’s the fear of being recognized by the audience, which can lead to chaos. This is especially true in single-screen cinemas. But at the same time, that’s where one gets to witness the most electric audience response. Two days ago, on April 1, R Madhavan weighed the pros and cons and took the plunge. He watched his film, Dhurandhar The Revenge, with the audience at a single-screen theatre in Mumbai. Usually, actors prefer visiting G7, aka Gaiety-Galaxy. However, R Madhavan chose Chitra Cinema in Dadar instead. Yesterday, on April 2, film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi posted a story where the actor can be seen enjoying the film. Sometime later, he also posted a picture where R Madhavan is seen posing with Akshaye Rathi and a few more friends in the lobby of Chitra. After the story and post were uploaded, Bollywood Hungama spoke to Akshaye Rathi. He said, “R Madhavan was keen to get a first-hand experience of how the audience was reacting to Dhurandhar The Revenge. That’s why we chose Chitra Cinema. It attracts the masses and, at the same time, its sound, picture quality and seating are top-class. ”On April 1, @ActorMadhavan secretly watched #DhurandharTheRevenge at Mumbai's Chitra Cinema with @akshayerathi and a few fr... #Cinema #EXCLUSIVE #Madhavan #Chitra_Cinema #Akshaye_Rathi #n’t_realize #Chitra #Madhavan_sneaks #watch_Dhurandhar #Mumbai_Chitra

The suspense over its release date continues, as the makers have yet to make an official announcement. Moreover, the trailer, which was initially expected on March 27 and later rescheduled for March 30, has not been unveiled. This has only further fuelled speculation that the horror-comedy has indeed been pushed ahead. Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama has now learned about the film’s run time. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Bhooth Bangla is around 2 hours and 50 minutes long. After the censor process, the run time may reduce or increase by a few minutes. The exact duration will be known closer to the release date, but as of now, it is said to be around 170 minutes. ”If Bhooth Bangla indeed ends up with a run time of 2 hours and 50 minutes, it will be among Akshay Kumar’s longest films in the last 12 years. In this period, most of his films have had shorter durations, usually under 150 minutes. The last Akshay Kumar starrer with a similar run time was Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014), which was also 2 hours and 50 minutes long.
