Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet, and R Madhavan to begin Punjab shoot for De De Pyaar De 2 in September: Report

Actors Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh are gearing up for the highly anticipated sequel to their 2019 hit De De Pyaar De, titled De De Pyaar De 2. While Tabu will not be returning for the sequel, Devgn and Singh are set to reprise their roles, with the addition of R Madhavan in a key part. The film’s next shooting schedule will commence in Punjab this September.

Punjab Shoot to Begin in September
Following an initial shooting schedule in Mumbai, the team will now head to Punjab for a significant portion of the film’s production. A report by Hindustan Times quoted a source saying, “The first shoot schedule was in Mumbai, but then Ajay had to leave for the Son of Sardar 2 shoot in the UK. R Madhavan, Rakul, and Ajay will shoot in Punjab for some time and then return to Bombay for the next schedule in October.” The Punjab schedule is expected to last 15-20 days, starting in mid-September.

In a notable casting update, R Madhavan will play a pivotal role as Rakul Preet Singh’s father in De De Pyaar De 2. According to sources, his character will have several humorous interactions with Ajay Devgn’s character, Ashish. The film will focus on family dynamics, with much of the Punjab shoot set in traditional, homely settings.
Details of De De Pyaar De 2’s Scenes in Punjab
“The scenes in Punjab will mostly take place inside a bungalow and around the farms. The aim is to capture the beauty of the state while emphasizing the family scenes,” revealed the insider. The production team is working at full speed to ensure the film wraps up by the end of the year.

While the first film was directed by Akiv Ali, De De Pyaar De 2 will be helmed by Anshul Sharma. Sharma intends to retain the chemistry between Rakul Preet and Ajay Devgn from the original, while also bringing fresh elements to the story. The source also hinted at a surprise addition to the cast, possibly indicating a cameo that the makers are keeping under wraps.

The team aims to complete the shoot by year-end, with a planned release for May next year.

Salman Khan to take on the system as the ‘New Angry Young Man’ in Sikandar

Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala have formed a partnership lasting for decades and have an astonishing track record of delivering back-to-back successful films. Their last, Kick, was a huge blockbuster, with total demand for the sequel, Kick 2. Before moving on to Kick 2, Salman and Sajid have come together for AR Murugadoss directed Sikandar.

Bollywood Hungama has exclusive information on the core plot of the feature film. Our reliable sources inform us that Salman Khan will take on a mega social racket in the film. “SIKANDAR stands for POWER and Salman Khan will show complete power in taking down a major nexus existing in the society. It’s a plot that touched everyone’s heart, and the makers are sure to make the cinema-goers emotional with the storytelling pattern. Unlike all the previous films of Salman and Sajid, Sikandar is high on drama and emotions with a strong social message,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.

The source also informed us that it’s a fight for the right for Salman Khan. “While Salman has a past full of rage and anger, he will be fighting the system in the present to win over the audience. This time the cause is bigger than ever before but with loads of entertainment. Sajid and Murugadoss will reintroduce Salman as the Angry Young Man, fighting for the people and their rights.”

Gippy Grewal urges Sikh representation in CBFC amid Emergency censorship issues: “Unilateral decisions are being taken only because of the absence of a Sikh member”

Gippy Grewal urges Sikh representation in CBFC amid Emergency censorship issues: “Unilateral decisions are being taken only because of the absence of a Sikh member”

Amid rising concerns about proper representation of Sikhism in Indian cinema, actor and singer Gippy Grewal has called for the inclusion of a Sikh member on the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). His comments come as Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency faces censor troubles due to allegations of misrepresenting the Sikh community.

Gippy Grewal’s Demand for Sikh Representation in CBFC
Gippy Grewal, currently promoting his film Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di, recently voiced the need for a Sikh representative on the CBFC. According to him, this inclusion would ensure better scrutiny of films that depict Sikhism or the state of Punjab. Grewal pointed out that while the CBFC can flag certain content issues, it may lack the cultural or religious understanding needed to identify potential misrepresentations of Sikh beliefs.

He stated that having a Sikh expert would help ensure that films with Sikh characters or religious themes are treated with sensitivity and respect. “The board can check on the larger things, but it is important for an expert member to check things from a religious perspective,” he told India Today.
CBFC and Emergency Controversy
Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency, which was slated for release on September 6, has encountered a delay due to its pending approval from the CBFC. The film, set during the 1975 Emergency period in India, has reportedly sparked concerns among Sikh groups for allegedly misrepresenting the community.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), an influential Sikh religious body, has been particularly vocal, calling for the CBFC to ban the film and demanding that Sikh voices be included on the certification board. They argue that unilateral decisions taken without proper religious input have led to the misrepresentation of the Sikh faith in the media.

In a statement, the SGPC reiterated its stance, saying, “It is very important to include a Sikh member in the Central Film Censor Board, as unilateral decisions are being taken only because of the absence of a Sikh member.”
Gippy Grewal’s Approach to Film Certification
Grewal has set a different example with his upcoming film, which was shot at Hazur Sahib, a prominent Sikh shrine in Maharashtra. Before submitting his film for certification, he approached the management committee of the gurdwara to get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to ensure that the film respected religious sentiments. He believes this kind of religious consultation should be a standard practice for films portraying Sikhism.

“Having a Sikh representative in the board is important for films which talk about Sikhism, represent the community, or represent the state of Punjab in any form,” Grewal said, adding that religious consultation can prevent misunderstandings and controversies.

With Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency still awaiting clearance and facing significant backlash from the Sikh community, the debate over representation in Indian cinema continues to heat up.
