King becomes a REUNION bonanza: Shah Rukh Khan to share screen with Anil Kapoor after 31 years, Rani Mukerji after 20 years and Jackie Shroff after 12 years It’s been almost six months since the first look teaser of King was unveiled on the occasion of Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday. Yet, the excitement around the film has remained constant, even though its release is still nearly seven months away. Recently, we came across a tweet by an SRK fan that made an interesting observation – the superstar is collaborating with several members of King’s ensemble cast after a very long gap. While he is reuniting with some after a decade, others are sharing screen space with him after nearly 20 or even 30 years. In this article, Bollywood Hungama takes a closer look at this nostalgic reunion factor. Anil Kapoor will feature in a crucial role in King and he was last seen with Shah Rukh Khan in Trimurti (1995), which was released 31 years ago. This is the only film that featured both actors. With Saurabh Shukla, SRK has worked thrice — in Baadshah (1999), Hey Ram (2000) and Mohabbatein (2000). Hence, both will be seen together in a film after 26 years. Shah Rukh Khan and Arshad Warsi haven’t shared screen space in full-fledged roles in a film. However, Shah Rukh appeared in an entertaining and crucial cameo in the Arshad Warsi-starrer Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye (2005). Then, Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji last appeared together in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006). She’s the co-star in Ki... #Shah #years #Khan #Rukh_Khan #Shah_Rukh #Rukh #Anil_Kapoor #King #Rani_Mukerji #Jackie_Shroff
Mardaani 3 becomes the No. 1 movie on Netflix India; all 3 films of the blockbuster franchise trend in the Top 10 films list Yash Raj Films has yet another reason to celebrate. After a successful run in cinemas, Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, has now emerged as a massive winner on OTT as well, climbing to the No. 1 spot on Netflix India. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that the film’s streaming success has triggered a wider franchise resurgence, with all three Mardaani films now trending simultaneously in Netflix India’s Top 10 films list. As of this morning, Mardaani 3 (2026) is ranked No. 1, while Mardaani (2014) has claimed the No. 5 spot and Mardaani 2 (2019) is placed at No. 7. This is a huge achievement for a franchise that has, over the years, built a powerful emotional and commercial connection with audiences. In an industry where franchises are often male-driven and star-led in a conventional sense, the Mardaani series has carved its own unique and formidable identity. It is now firmly established as India’s only successful female-led blockbuster franchise, and also the country’s only hit female-cop film franchise. The OTT triumph of Mardaani 3 comes on the back of an impressive theatrical performance. The film collected over Rs. 53 crore nett in India, making it the highest-grossing film of the Mardaani franchise. In an era when even major films struggle to sustain momentum beyond the initial weeks, Mardaani 3 also achieved the rare dist... #India #Netflix #Yash_Raj #Raj_Films #Rani_Mukerji #franchise #films #Netflix_India #Mardaani #list_Yash
EXCLUSIVE: Rani Mukerji exits Oh My Goddess after creative differences with Amit Rai; here’s what happened behind the scenes Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar were all set to collaborate on the Amit Rai-directed Oh My Goddess. Akshay made the film official by wishing Rani on the release of Mardaani 3, terming her the "Goddess" in the wish. "Go watch the goddess of acting in her most powerful avatar. I saw it, I loved it. Don’t miss it," he had posted, indirectly confirming Oh My Goddess. Earlier in the day, a PR website floated an article that Rani was never signed for Oh My Goddess. However, we have dived deep into the matter to find the truth. Reliable sources confirm that Rani Mukerji was indeed confirmed to do Oh My Goddess with Akshay Kumar and Amit Rai. "However, she started to have creative differences with Amit Rai. She had a certain way of looking at the script, including post-production, and expected Amit to follow her experience. Amit, on the other hand, had a strong counter perspective on the presentation of the film. The duo eventually could not gel well, leading to a fall-out of sorts," a source shared with Bollywood Hungama. Akshay tried to bring the two on the same page, but eventually felt that the right energy was needed to make the film happen and that it was best not to force this casting. “Rani, too, had her reservations, and the two senior actors, like true professionals, decided to amicably part ways on Oh My Goddess. Rani loved the script but, ... #Amit #EXCLUSIVE #Akshay_Kumar #Amit_Rai-directed #Rani_Mukerji #Amit_Rai #Goddess #Rani #scenes_Rani #Mukerji_exits
