Hera Pheri 3 shoot location revealed, THIS ace screenwriter to craft dialogues
The cast of Hera Pheri 3 has reportedly started shooting for the film. With Priyadarshan directing the film, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal are pumped to serve another epic comedy-drama for the audience. With the reports of the film going on floors, there are new updates coming in, which include the shoot location, dialogue writer, and more. HT City reportedly stated that the makers are shooting the movie in Mumbai. The team is shooting at the Aarey Mills under the direction of ace director Priyadarshan. Not just the location, but another interesting update about the much-awaited comedy-drama has also been revealed. It is said that Rohan Shankar, who has previously worked on films like the Kriti Sanon-helmed Mimi (2021) and will be collaborating with Priyadarshan for his upcoming horror drama Bhooth Bangla (2026), has come on board to handle the dialogues of Hera Pheri 3. Priyadarshan on making Hera Pheri 3 Earlier, while talking about the challenges, Priyadarshan shared, "It is going to be very challenging to make the third part because there will be too many expectations. The characters have gotten older, and accordingly, people should believe… these are important things. I am taking it as a challenge. Let’s see how it works.” More about Hera Pheri 3 With the Hera Pheri film, Priyadarshan will be making a sequel for the first time in his filmmaking career. However, before him, it was Farhad Samji who was supposed to direct the film, and the internet was buzzing with rumors of Kartik Aaryan replacing Akshay Kumar. These reports caught fire when Paresh Rawal confirmed Kartik’s involvement in the film. But with Priyadarshan coming on board, Paresh Rawal has clarified his remark on Kartik and shared that, earlier, with Farhad directing the movie, it was a different story. However, even then, Kartik was never supposed to replace Akshay—he was supposed to join the film as a whole new character. After Akshay Kumar wished Priyadarshan with a sweet post, the latter reacted to it with a grand announcement. While responding to Akshay, Priyadarshan wrote, “Thank you so much for your wishes, Akshay. In return, I would like to give you a gift. I am willing to do Hera Pheri 3—are you ready, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal?"

Aadil Khanon reveals his bromance with Ritwik Bhowmik for their new show Khakee
Actor Aadil Khan, who essays the role of Ranjit Thakur in the recently released streaming series ‘Khakee: The Bengal Chapter’, has shared how he cultivated the bromance between him and actor Ritwik Bhowmik for the show. In the show, Aadil and Ritwik serve as the muscle to a local politician. IANS spoke with Aadil in the run-up to the release of the show. The actor told IANS that his camaraderie with Ritwik happened organically. He said, “When the show was offered to me, and I went through the script and got to know the story, the first thing which was on my mind was who is playing Sagor because the script has a lot of chemistry between the characters. I was concerned about it. And then I met Ritwik, and got to know that he's playing the part”. The actor further mentioned that the two had met earlier for a very brief period. He said, “We met long back during my radio days, years ago, we had met for a brief meeting. More than 10 years ago. Hence, it was not a very new interaction for the two actors. The familiarity though too small came in handy to build their characters. Aadil said, “Meanwhile, during our readings for the part, after spending 15 minutes with him, discussing the story and everything, understanding each other, I was kind of relaxed as I told myself, ‘Oh nice, this man is awesome’. And we both have a similar story. Also, there were workshops, there was training, rehearsals and things like that. And that's when we created that world and while we were creating that world, we created a strong brotherhood. And that just helped us not just in the show but look at us, we found each other”. Ritwik chimed in as he said, “Some relationships you don't make, some relationships you earn. We earned this by spending time with each other”. Meanwhile, Ritwik had earlier wished his brother from another mother for his new project. He took to Instagram, a few days ago, and shared BTS videos of themselves. He wrote in the caption, “Missing my brother today as he embarks on his new journey! So looking forward to what you’re going to offer us next @aadilkhanitis You’re truly an astounding actor and a true blue brother. Go conquer Bhai ti! Your brother forever - Da bhai”. ‘Khakee: The Bengal Chapter’ streams on Netflix. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

What’s next for Salman Khan after Sikandar performs poorly at the box office?
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Eid release Sikandar has left fans disappointed. The film, which released on Sunday, March 30, collected only ₹74 crore in three days — a considerably low figure for a Salman Khan film. In recent years, Salman’s box office performance has not lived up to his superstardom, leading to a wave of disappointment among fans. Many are now urging the actor to return with a strong, content-driven film that reflects his larger-than-life image. “Come back, Salman Khan, and this time with a fresh version of yourself. We, your fans, will be eagerly waiting to witness your glory once again. You were, are, and will forever be the greatest — just prove it once more!” wrote one fan. Many others posted similar messages on X (formerly Twitter). So, what’s next for Salman Khan after the Sikandar debacle? While Salman Khan has not yet started shooting for his next film, here’s a list of projects the actor is reportedly associated with: Kick 2 Last year, Salman officially announced the sequel to his hit action-packed drama Kick. The film will be directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, who also produced Sikandar. Kick (2014) marked Nadiadwala’s directorial debut and was Salman’s first film to enter the ₹200 crore club. Tiger vs Pathaan A dream project for YRF Studios and a visual delight for Hindi cinema lovers, Tiger vs Pathaan is rumoured to bring Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan together in a high-octane spy universe crossover. However, there has been no official confirmation yet. Ganga Ram Both Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt have confirmed teaming up for a rustic action drama reportedly titled Ganga Ram. The film is being developed by Salman’s production house, SKF, and will be directed by debutant Krish Ahir, who has worked as an associate on several Salman films over the last five years. Prem Ki Shaadi Sooraj Barjatya has expressed interest in reuniting with Salman for a mature love story. The two have delivered major hits in the past. While Barjatya has confirmed discussions, there’s no official announcement yet. Film with Atlee – Shelved There was strong buzz about Salman teaming up with Jawan director Atlee for a mass-action entertainer. However, the superstar recently confirmed that the project is no longer happening. “I don’t think it’s happening right now. It was happening at one point of time. We tried really hard to work it out, but somehow it didn’t happen. I don’t know what exactly was the reason,” Salman said during a group interview promoting Sikandar.

Ameesha Patel voices her opinion about huge age gap between Salman and Rashmika
Actress Ameesha Patel shared her views on Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna's huge age gap in their film 'Sikandar'. During an event in Mumbai, Amisha Patel was asked for her opinion on the debate that recently started in a press conference regarding the age gap between Salman and Rashmika. Talking to IANS, Ameesha said, "Me and Sunny Ji (Sunny Deol) also have a huge age gap - more than 20 years, but when the film works, everything is forgiven." Refreshing your memory, Ameesha has shared screen space with Sunny Deol twice, in 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' and 'Gadar 2'. Both these movies turned out to be a massive success at the ticket counters. It must be noted here that Ameesha and Sunny are 18 years apart in age. Few days back, talking at the trailer launch event of 'Sikandar', Salman spoke about the huge age gap between superstars and younger actresses. Sharing his thoughts on the evolving dynamics in the film industry, Salman said in his trademark style, “I have a 31-year age difference between me and the heroine. The heroine doesn't have this problem. The heroine's father doesn't have this problem.” Next, he turned toward Rashmika and asked her, “You don't have this problem, right?” It is not an uncommon practice in Indian cinema for elderly heroes to romance heroines much younger to them. Talking about 'Sikandar', the film has been made under the direction of AR Murugadoss. The action thriller was released in cinema halls on March 30 and opened to a mixed response. Despite all the buzz, 'Sikandar' failed to make an impact at the box office. In the film, Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot,(Salman) the king of Rajkot, becomes a target for Minister Rakesh Pradhan (Sathyaraj) after killing his son. When his wife’s donated organs save three lives, Rakesh seeks revenge, forcing Sanjay to protect them. Along with Salman and Rashmika, the core cast of the drama further includes Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Kishore, Jatin Sarna, and Sanjay Kapoor, along with others.
