Shabana Raza Bajpayee makes a comeback as a producer with Aurega Studios and debuts on social media
Fans of Shabana Raza Bajpayee have much to rejoice as she, in collaboration with her husband Manoj Bajpayee and Vikram Khakhar, launches Aurega Studios. Shabana’s debut film, Kareeb (1998), made her an overnight sensation. However, she took a step back from the limelight in 2010 to focus on raising their daughter, Ava Nyla. Now, she has returned to the film industry.
This marks her comeback with a new role in film production, igniting fans’ excitement and curiosity about whether she will also return to acting. Manoj Bajpayee, marking his first role as a producer and his 100th film, and Vikram Khakhar, known for producing films such as Main aur Charles, Dobara (official adaptation of the American horror film Oculus), One by Two, and Virsa, join her in this venture.
The studio’s inaugural film, Bhaiyya Ji, channels the iconic vibe that fans have long admired in Manoj Bajpayee’s performances. The film features the intense song ‘Baagh Ka Kareja,’ exhibiting roaring energy that fans have been vibing on and is trending across social media.
Shabana Raza Bajpayee also made her debut on social media by sharing a family picture with husband Manoj Bajpayee and daughter Ava Nyla, captioning it “Hello World, here’s my world.” Manoj Bajpayee affectionately embraced her online presence, responding with a heartfelt message: “Welcome, my world. Finally.”
Bhaiyya Ji is about a man who stands up for his family and seeks revenge for the wrongs done to his loved ones. Fans have been raving about the teaser of the film and are eagerly anticipating watching him in theatres as the OG they have loved him for.

Imran Khan to make comeback after 9 years with Aamir Khan-produced Happy Patel; Vir Das to direct first feature film: Report
Imran Khan is set to make a grand return to Bollywood after a hiatus of nearly nine years. This comeback marks a special reunion, as Khan will be collaborating with his maternal uncle, Aamir Khan, who played a pivotal role in launching his career. The actor has reportedly signed a quirky comedy titled Happy Patel which will be helmed by Vir Das.
According to a report in Peeping Moon, the film will be produced by Aamir Khan Productions, signifying a full-circle moment for the actor. Aamir first introduced Imran to the silver screen as a child artist in the 1988 film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Two decades later, in 2008, Aamir Khan Productions launched Imran as a leading man in the successful rom-com Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na.
The details about Happy Patel remain under wraps, but sources describe it as a laugh riot set in a unique yet familiar world. The film’s tone is said to be reminiscent of Imran’s earlier successful comedies, which often blended humour with relatable characters and heartwarming stories. The shooting of the film has already begun in Goa.
Adding another exciting layer to the project is the directorial debut of Vir Das. Khan and Das previously co-starred in the critically acclaimed 2011 black comedy Delhi Belly. While Das has experience of directing a web series (yet to be released), Happy Patel will be his first feature film directorial venture.
The cast boasts further star power. Mona Singh, known for working with Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots and Laal Singh Chaddha, will play a pivotal character. The identity of the female lead remains under wraps. Rumours are rife about a potential cameo by Aamir Khan himself, although this has not yet been confirmed.
Happy Patel replaces Khan’s initially planned web series with Abbas Tyrewala. This espionage thriller for Disney+ Hotstar would have seen Khan portray an intelligence officer navigating the complexities of South Asian counter-intelligence. However, the project was shelved due to the merger between Reliance Industries and The Walt Disney Company.

Shraddha Kapoor eyes rumoured beau Rahul Mody’s production debut; in talks for a drama: Report
Shraddha Kapoor is gearing up for a busy year! After a single release in 2023 with the romantic comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, the actress has several exciting projects in the pipeline. In a recent fan interaction, Kapoor hinted at venturing into new genres, including a mythological adaptation and a time-travel film. Now, it seems she might be adding another project to her list – a drama co-produced by her rumoured beau, Rahul Mody.
According to a report in Mid-day, the details about the drama are under wraps. However, sources reveal that Kapoor has expressed interest in the central idea and is considering co-producing the film alongside Mody’s production house. Mody, who co-wrote Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, has sparked dating rumours with Kapoor in recent times. A source revealed to the publication, “The talks are in the nascent stage, so it can’t be determined whether this will be her next project. But Shraddha has liked the central idea. She plans to co-produce it along with Rahul’s production house.”
Kapoor has Stree 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy Stree, lined up for release this year. The source further adds, “Stree 2 is one of the year’s most-awaited films. Going forward, Shraddha wants to carefully select her projects, choosing ones that evoke a similar kind of buzz. She also doesn’t want long gaps between her films.”
Rahul Mody’s foray into production alongside a potential collaboration with Shraddha Kapoor will surely pique the interest of fans.
