The Bandra police arrested a 21-year-old man, identified as Ujjair Faiz Mohiuddin, for allegedly breaching actor Salman Khan’s security convoy. The incident occurred on the night of Tuesday, September 18, between Mehboob Studio and Galaxy Apartments, as the biker followed Khan’s convoy at high speed on a two-wheeler. Despite multiple warnings from Salman Khan’s security personnel, Mohiuddin persisted in his approach.

Breach in Security Convoy
According to reports, the incident took place between 12:15 am and 12:25 am when Mohiuddin reportedly attempted to reach Salman Khan’s vehicle. Despite the security team’s repeated attempts to warn him, the 21-year-old biker did not comply. As a result, Khan’s security personnel eventually apprehended Mohiuddin and handed him over to the Bandra police.
Legal Actions Taken
The police have registered a case against Mohiuddin under sections 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) and 281 (rash driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. It was revealed during the investigation that the accused is a student residing near Rizvi College in Bandra West.
Previous Incident Involving Salman Khan’s Father
It is worth mentioning here that just a day later on Wednesday morning, Salman Khan’s father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, faced a potential threat. According to reports, two individuals approached Salim Khan during his routine morning walk. One of the men, while riding a scooty, allegedly made a remark referring to notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, stating, “Lawrence Bishnoi ko bheju kya?” before driving off.

Following Salim Khan’s complaint, the police tracked down the duo through CCTV footage and arrested them. Upon questioning, the man revealed that he had carried out the act to impress his girlfriend. The police have registered a case against the two under sections 353(2) (statement conducing to public mischief), 292 (nuisance not otherwise provided for), and 3(5) (general explanation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Bandra police station.

With many actors being associated with the highly ambitious Singham Again, another name has been added to the list. Salman Khan, best known for his police officer role of Chulbul Pandey in the Dabangg series, is expected to be a part of this upcoming cop-action entertainer. Buzz is that, like several other actors, Salman too will be seen in a cameo, and we wonder if the actor will be sharing screen space with Ajay Devgn adding to the list of the films they have done together like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and London Dreams.

In an exclusive report shared by Zoom on Thursday, it has been reported that although Salman Khan was not sure of the special appearance, it was Rohit Shetty who convinced him to do it. Furthermore, the reports asserted that Khan not only decided to do the character without any questions, but he has also shot for the said appearance. It is being said that his role will be inspired by his famous Chulbul Pandey character and this piece of news has definitely got fans excited since a Singham – Dabangg crossover is definitely something they would like to witness on the big screen.

Meanwhile, Singham Again is riding high on expectations since the film is said to bring together an extensive ensemble cast. While Ajay Devgn plays the titular Singham aka police officer Bajirao Singham, the film will feature Kareena Kapoor Khan as his wife Avni Bajirao Singham. The film will also feature Arjun Kapoor as the antagonist with Jackie Shroff playing a key role too. Interestingly, Jackie’s son and renowned actor Tiger Shroff too will be making a special appearance as audiences will be introduced to ACP Satya in this new Singham franchise film. Furthermore, it will also present Lady Singham in a brief appearance, essayed by Deepika Padukone – who plays IPS officer Shakti Shetty.

With such an interesting star cast coming together for the first time, Singham Again becomes one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Despite rumours of a delay, makers have insisted this Rohit Shetty Copverse action-drama will be released in the festive season of Diwali and will be clashing with Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan has reportedly acquired a luxurious new apartment in Mumbai, adding to his already impressive real estate portfolio. According to a Bombay Times report, this property is located close to his father Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic bungalow, Jalsa, in Juhu. The newly purchased apartment is part of an upscale development offering stunning views of Juhu Beach.

The Latest Addition to Abhishek Bachchan’s Real Estate Portfolio
This new purchase comes shortly after Abhishek Bachchan made headlines for buying six flats in Mumbai’s Borivali area. His recent acquisition marks his growing interest in high-end properties across the city. According to reports, the Bachchan family already owns five bungalows in the Juhu area and holds apartments in new developments due to their close relationship with a well-known builder. However, the latest apartment has been constructed by a different reputed developer, as per the report.

It’s also noteworthy that Akshay Kumar, a fellow Bollywood actor, has invested in the same property. However, details regarding the payment for Abhishek Bachchan’s new apartment remain undisclosed.
Previous Purchase in Borivali
Abhishek Bachchan’s latest property purchase follows his significant investment in Oberoi Sky City, Borivali, just two months ago. According to property registration records obtained by Zapkey.com, he spent a substantial Rs 15.42 crore on six apartments in the prestigious Oberoi Realty project.

On the professional front, Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in the sports drama Ghoomer, co-starring Saiyami Kher. Fans can next expect to see him in the highly anticipated Housefull 5, which also stars Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Pooja Hegde, and Chitrangada Singh. Apart from Housefull 5, he is also working on an untitled project with filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, which revolves around a father-daughter duo navigating their daily lives. In addition, Amitabh Bachchan recently confirmed that Abhishek Bachchan has been cast as the antagonist in King, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan.

Amid rumours of an impending postponement, Ajay Devgn starrer Singham Again has confirmed that the film will release during Diwali quashing reports of the delay in release. Meanwhile, the makers of Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 too have insisted on retaining their release date. While several people associated with both films have spoken about the big clash this Diwali season, recently a few remarks made by Anees Bazmee fuelled up reports of the filmmaker being dismissal about the release of the Rohit Shetty film. However, in a recent statement he issued, he clarified that he has been misquoted.

Filmmaker Anees Bazmee reacted to recent media reports claiming that they misrepresented his statements regarding the potential clash between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. In a social media post, Bazmee shared his stance, stating, “Some media personnel are misinterpreting my statement. As a filmmaker with over three decades of experience, I focus on crafting compelling stories, not getting entangled in film release or business dynamics. I’ve seen many films succeed despite releasing on the same day.” He added, “It seems like my words were lost in translation. Let me rephrase: I’m thrilled for both Singham 3 and! Two amazing films, two talented teams! Let’s do it together.”

For the unversed, the matter fuelled up when a Mid-Day article quoted Bazmee saying, “Why should I talk to him? It’s a business decision between producers, and I am just the director. Singham Again’s team is insisting on a Diwali release. Clashes are never a good idea. I know that we had announced Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s release date a year in advance, but what can we do? I’ve always maintained that a good film doesn’t need a date to work. I’m the last person to get involved in box-office numbers and release dates. These are decisions and numbers calculated by producers and distributors.” Meanwhile, the filmmaker asserted that he only told the publication, “Ajay and Rohit are my friends, why should I talk to them about this? This is a matter for the producers, and it’s ultimately their decision.”

About Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by T-Series, will mark the first collaboration between Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, and Vidya Balan, with the film featuring a host of other celebs including Madhuri Dixit in key roles. On the other hand, Singham Again is one of the biggest films of the Rohit Shetty Copverse (Cop Universe) which will not only star Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Arjun Kapoor in lead roles but will also introduce audiences to new characters played by Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff along with Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar in special cameos.

The Bombay High Court has instructed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to make a final decision by Wednesday regarding the release of Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency. The film, co-produced by Zee Entertainment Enterprises, has faced delays after Sikh organizations raised objections, alleging that it misrepresents their community. This move comes at a critical time as the producers await the censor certificate to allow the film to hit theatres.

Creative Freedom and Censorship Debates Take Centre-stage
Justice BP Colabawalla and Justice Firdosh Pooniwalla, who heard the case, emphasized the importance of creative freedom and questioned whether the CBFC’s role was to safeguard public order. Justice Colabawalla noted that Emergency is a work of fiction and not a documentary, stressing that audiences should not be viewed as “naive.” He stated, “What about creative freedom? It’s not for CBFC to decide whether this affects public order.”
Sensitive Content and Political Implications
The CBFC counsel, Abhinav Chandrachud, explained that the delay was due to concerns over certain scenes, particularly involving a polarising political figure depicted in the film. The Board has been scrutinizing whether these scenes are factually accurate, citing concerns that they may spark controversy. In response, the High Court criticized the CBFC for its indecision, saying, “There was enough time given to decide on either giving a certificate or rejecting it.”

Zee’s counsel, Venkatesh Dhond, hinted that political considerations might be delaying the certification, specifically referencing the potential impact on upcoming elections in Haryana. However, the CBFC countered that Punjab, not Haryana, was the state in question.
Financial Stakes and Legal Precedents
The film, starring Kangana Ranaut as Indira Gandhi and also featuring actors Anupam Kher and Shreyas Talpade, explores the Emergency period of 1975. Its release carries substantial financial implications for the producers, as noted by the court. The legal journey has already seen action in the Madhya Pradesh High Court, where a petition against the film was disposed of after the CBFC informed the court that no certificate had been issued at the time.

As the legal battle continues, the Bombay High Court urged the CBFC to take a clear stand on the issue. “Let’s see what the revising committee says. Have the courage to say that the film should not be released,” the court stated, urging a prompt decision.

The fate of Emergency now hangs on the CBFC’s decision, which must be delivered by Wednesday
