Sanjay Dutt starrer Aakhri Sawal gets new release date — film preponed to May 8 The makers of Aakhri Sawal, starring Sanjay Dutt, have officially announced a revised release date for the film. Originally scheduled to arrive in cinemas on May 16, 2026, the film has now been preponed and will hit theatres on May 8, 2026, bringing its release forward by over a week. The decision to advance the release comes amid growing buzz around the project, particularly following the unveiling of its teaser. Released on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, the teaser offered a glimpse into the film’s narrative, which delves into the history of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), founded in 1925. While brief, the teaser has already generated considerable discussion for its subject matter and tone. Positioned as an intense and thought-provoking drama, Aakhri Sawal aims to explore lesser-known aspects of the organisation’s journey while raising broader questions that are expected to unfold over the course of the film. The early promotional material has been described as direct and provocative, setting the stage for a narrative that could spark conversations upon release. The film is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Abhijeet Mohan Warang, who previously earned a Special Mention at the 67th National Film Awards for his Marathi-language film Picasso. Warang has built a body of work spanning Marathi and Hindi cinema, with projects such as Deja Vu, Prem Pratha Dhumshan, Piccolo, and ... #release_date #officially_announced #film #Sanjay #Sanjay_Dutt #Dutt #Dutt_starrer #starring_Sanjay #Aakhri_Sawal #starrer_Aakhri
EXCLUSIVE: Sonu Nigam remembers his iconic song ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ as ISAMRA distributes WHOPPING Rs. 100 cr in royalties to 26,000 singers; Anup Jalota gets emotional; Sanjay Tandon recalls journey from Rs. 51,000 to 100 cr It was a joyous occasion for ISAMRA (Indian Singers And Musicians Rights Association) recently as they announced that they have distributed Rs. 100 crore in royalties to 26,000 singers and musicians. Bollywood Hungama spoke exclusively to the ones who fought bravely for the rights of the singers – the legendary Sonu Nigam and Anup Jalota and ISAMRA founder and MD, Sanjay Tandon. 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. The system has finally begun to listen. ”In June 2024, Sanjay Tandon revealed that ISAMRA had distributed its first royalty, Rs. 51,000, for the song ‘Lag Jaa Gale’ (Woh Kaun Thi; 1964). Explaining the journey from Rs. 51,000 to Rs. 100 crores, he replied, “That first royalty of Rs. 51,000 was a beginning, not just financially, but emotionally. It proved that performers’ rights could move from theory to reality. From there to Rs. 100 crore has been a journey of building from scratch. There was no ready data, no structured system, and no pre... #EXCLUSIVE #Sanjay #Kal #Naa_Ho’ #distributes_WHOPPING #Sanjay_Tandon #Sonu_Nigam #Anup_Jalota #Nigam_remembers #ISAMRA_distributes
SCOOP: Love & War REAL budget revealed; Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic costs Rs 350 cr, not Rs 425 cr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is among the most celebrated directors of Indian Film industry, whose cinema has stood the test of time. His next, Love And War is a casting coup of the decade as the maverick filmmaker has brought Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal together for the first time. Earlier in the week, there were viral reports on how Love and War budget has shot up to Rs. 425 crores, and the production has gone into turmoil. However, our reliable sources close to the project confirm that Love And War is proceeding as planned. "Love And War budgets have shot up for sure, but it happens with all Sanjay Leela Bhansali films. Initially, it was planned as a Rs. 250 crore epic, and the costs through the shoot have now shot up to Rs. 350 crores. SLB doesn't compromise on his vision, and he is passionately filming this, which he believes could be his best work to date. The Rs. 425 crore figure of cost of production is trying to harm the project on purpose, and there is no truth to the claims," a source shared with Bollywood Hungama. The source told us further, "Unlike many high on VFX films, Love And War is largely shot on sets, with recreation of the era gone by. This doesn't cost much. Anyone who understands filmmaking would say that the Rs. 425 crore budget is a bluff. But truth finds its way, and it's for the people to know that Love And War is a Rs. 350 c... #Love #War #SCOOP #Sanjay_Leela #Leela_Bhansali #Leela #Bhansali #War_REAL #REAL_budget #Sanjay
