August 2024

Exactly a year from now, War 2 will arrive in cinemas and the excitement for it is tremendous. It stars Hrithik Roshan facing off Jr NTR along with Kiara Advani. The casting and the popularity of the YRF (Yash Raj Films) Spy Universe have contributed to the hype. Though the makers have kept the shoot well guarded, some interesting details about the film are out.

It has come to light that Hrithik Roshan’s entry scene would be something that would take the breath away of the audience. As per reports, he’ll be seen indulging in a sword fight with a menacing villain in a Japanese monastery. Earlier, it was reported that Hrithik would be having an action scene in a Shaolin Temple but now it has been reported that it will serve as his introduction sequence.

The said scene was shot in March and as per reports at that time, it was conceptualized by producer Aditya Chopra and director Siddharth Anand when it struck them that they haven’t explored the Orient at all in the franchise. Accordingly, a sprawling set was constructed in YRF Studios, Andheri, Mumbai. In the film, it would be presented as a 300-year-old heritage monastery on a hilltop.

Further, the reports stated that Hrithik Roshan not only trained in martial arts for weeks but also learnt to use a katana, a Japanese sword.

In April 2024, Bollywood Hungama broke the viral news that just like how Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff danced to ‘Jai Jai Shivshankar’ in War (2019) despite being pitted against each other, the sequel will also have Hrithik and Jr NTR shaking a leg.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Both Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR are known for their dance moves. Interestingly, both were recently seen in two-hero films – Hrithik in War and Jr NTR in RRR (2022). And both films had two hero dance numbers that were unanimously loved (Jr NTR shook a leg with Ram Charan in the Oscar-winning song ‘Naatu Naatu’). For War 2, they both come together and hence, one can expect fireworks on the big screen during their number. It’ll be like ‘Jai Jai Shivshankar’ meeting ‘Naatu Naatu’!”

After multiple delays, Kangana Ranaut’s much-anticipated film Emergency is finally gearing up for its release on the big screen. Adding to the growing excitement, the actress has announced that the trailer for the film will be unveiled on August 14. Ranaut took to social media to share the news, writing, “Witness the Darkest Times of Democratic Indian History & the lust For Power that almost burned down the Nation! #KanganaRanaut’s #EmergencyTrailer out on 14th August.”

An Explosive Look at a Dark Chapter in Indian History
Emergency is set to hit cinemas worldwide on September 6 and promises to depict one of the most controversial periods in Indian history. The film’s narrative revolves around the Emergency period of 1975-1977, a time when civil liberties were curtailed, and political dissent was suppressed under the leadership of then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Kangana Ranaut not only stars in the film but also directs and produces it, taking on the challenging role of portraying Indira Gandhi.
Trailer Details and Strategic Release Plan
Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that, a few days ago, Bollywood Hungama reported that the trailer, which is 2 minutes and 57 seconds long, has been approved by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a U/A certificate. The trailer will be attached to the prints of Vedaa, the upcoming film starring John Abraham and Sharvari, which is also produced by Zee Studios—the same studio behind Emergency.

A source explained to us the rationale behind this move: “Emergency is produced by Zee Studios, and they have also backed Vedaa. A large number of audiences will be watching Vedaa, and the Zee team felt that this would be a great time to present the trailer of the ambitious venture to them and thus enhance the buzz for it.”

Emergency boasts an impressive ensemble cast, with Ranaut leading the way as Indira Gandhi. The film also features veteran actor Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan, Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Mahima Chaudhary as Pupul Jayakar, Milind Soman as Sam Manekshaw, and the late Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram.

Taha Shah Badussha has secured a three-film deal with Ramesh Sippy Entertainment. This agreement comes on the heels of his performance in Netflix’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, where he captivated audiences worldwide as the enigmatic Tajdar Baloch in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s opulent series.

Taha Shah Badussha’s association with Ramesh Sippy Entertainment is set to further elevate his career. The first film under this deal will be directed by Rohan Sippy, son of Ramesh Sippy, who has established himself as a respected filmmaker in his own right. Rohan Sippy is known for his films, including Bluffmaster, Dum Maaro Dum, and Nautanki Saala. He also served as the showrunner for the gripping Netflix series Aranyak.

Rohan Sippy expressed his enthusiasm for working with Taha, praising the young actor’s unique qualities. “Taha brings a unique energy and presence to the screen. I have watched him in Taj and Heeramandi, and his commitment to his craft and his ability to connect with audiences is commendable,” Rohan said to Variety.

Taha Shah Badussha, who has already made a mark with his performances in the ZEE5 Mughal empire saga Taj: Divided by Blood (2023), where he portrayed Prince Murad, and the upcoming Paro: The Untold Story of Slavery, is understandably thrilled about this new chapter in his career. Reflecting on the opportunity, he shared, “It’s an honor to sign a three-film deal with Ramesh Sippy Entertainment, and it’s an absolute dream to work in a film directed by Rohan Sippy. This opportunity is truly humbling, and I’m looking forward to contributing my best to this film. I’m deeply grateful for the trust they’ve placed in me.”
