One of the biggest actors of Bollywood, Ajay Devgn, ended 2024 on a rocking note with the success of Singham Again. He’s now gearing up for a significant 2025 since he’s yet again going to have multiple releases, all of which seem promising. Meanwhile, earlier in the day, Ajay’s fans got massively excited as an Instagram post gave rise to speculation that he’s all set to begin work on an exciting film.

A famous astrologer Balu Munnangi today put up a picture with Ajay Devgn. The astrologer celebrated 9 years of knowing the star and called Ajay a mentor. Both can be seen sitting and posing together. A table is placed in front of them where fans spotted what seemed like a film announcement poster.

The fans zoomed on the picture and rotated it to 180 degrees to get a clearer view. Once they did, they realized that the name of the film, as mentioned on the poster, is Super Hero. Ajay can be seen wearing a cloak and looks quite intriguing. The poster also mentions that the music of the film will be by Devi Sri Prasad of Pushpa fame. The director’s name is mentioned as well but it’s unclear.

On Monday, Prime Video announced the premiere date of the much-awaited second season of the critically acclaimed series, Paatal Lok. The popular franchise, which delves deep into the underbelly of Indian society, left audiences spellbound with its gripping narrative in Season 1. Paatal Lok Season 2 will see the return of its talented cast including Jaideep Ahlawat, Ishwak Singh, Gul Panag, alongside new cast members like Tillotama Shome, Nagesh Kukunoor, and Jahnu Barua in pivotal roles.

As the stakes rise, this upcoming season promises to propel the drama barometer to new heights drawing viewers into an even darker, immersive and more treacherous world.

“Paatal Lok made a huge impact with its gripping narrative, layered characters and raw portrayal of societal realities, earning critical acclaim and a massive fanbase,” said, Nikhil Madhok, Head of Originals, Prime Video India. “At Prime Video, we always prioritize two essential aspects across our shows —the unique and compelling nature of the stories we tell, and identifying the right time to bring those narratives to our audience. The phenomenal response to the first season of the neo-noir crime drama inspired us to delve even deeper into its immersive world with the second installment. While collaborating once again with Sudip, Avinash and the talented cast behind this groundbreaking series, we are excited to unveil a new chapter that pushes creative boundaries,” he added.

Sudip Sharma, Creator and Showrunner of the series, shared, “I am thrilled to continue our long-standing association with Prime Video and present the much-awaited second season of Paatal Lok, a series which has been highly appreciated by viewers and has truly redefined the entertainment landscape. The overwhelming response to the first season filled me with immense gratitude and inspired me to craft stories that are raw, relatable, and intensely gripping. The streaming service also acted as a perfect medium to bring out unique storytelling to life, offering our team a platform to expose and expand our horizons in terms of visual representation. Collaborating with an exceptional team has been a privilege, and together we’ve elevated this drama to new heights, amplifying the themes of crime, mystery, and suspense.”

A while back, the industry was abuzz with the announcement of the highly anticipated film King, which will feature none other than Shah Rukh Khan sharing the screen with his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time. While since the announcement there have been no real updates on the progress of the film, Bollywood Hungama has managed to get the inside scoop. In fact, none other than Siddharth Anand, who in the recent past has given us hits like War, Pathaan, and Fighter, will be directing King, the script for which has been written by Sujoy Ghosh of Kahaani and Jaane Jaan fame.

Produced by two industry giants, viz. Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Siddharth Anand’s Marflix, King marks a unique partnership between the actor and director, as they join forces not only in front of the camera but also behind it. The script, penned by the talented Sujoy Ghosh, is set to bring a gripping narrative to life, blending emotion and high-octane action. With Siddharth Anand at the helm, audiences can expect an immersive cinematic experience, with stunning visuals and adrenaline-pumping sequences.

True to Siddharth Anand’s reputation for delivering grand spectacles, King will be shot across multiple international locations. The filmmakers are sparing no effort in planning some of the biggest action sequences ever seen in Hindi cinema, aiming to set a new benchmark in the genre.

The makers have already locked in the production schedule, with filming set to commence by late February or early March 2025. This extended timeline ensures meticulous pre-production work, allowing for seamless execution of the film’s ambitious vision. King is slated for a mid-2026 release, giving the project ample time for post-production to achieve perfection.

While Shah Rukh Khan’s towering presence is enough to generate massive buzz, all eyes are also on Suhana Khan, who is set to take on her first major project alongside her superstar father. This debut marks a significant step in Suhana’s budding acting career, and fans are eager to witness the father-daughter duo’s on-screen chemistry.

With a stellar track record of delivering blockbusters, Siddharth Anand’s association with King further elevates expectations. Known for crafting visually stunning narratives with a strong emotional core, Anand’s directorial touch is set to bring the best out of the Khan duo, making King one of the most awaited films of the decade.

As the countdown begins for the commencement of filming, King is already shaping up to be a cinematic event of epic proportions. With Shah Rukh Khan’s charisma, Suhana Khan’s promising debut, Sujoy Ghosh’s storytelling prowess, and Siddharth Anand’s visionary direction, this film is poised to leave an indelible mark on Indian cinema.
