BREAKING: Varun Dhawan aka Bhediya has a cameo in Munjya

The horror comedy Munjya was released today worldwide. The film has caught attention due to the concept, the song ‘Taras’ and also because it’s a horror comedy, a genre that has a lot of takers. On top of it, it is a part of the exciting Maddock Supernatural Universe, which also comprises Stree (2018) and Bhediya (2022). Before the release, many wondered whether the Bhediya-Stree connection would come to the fore in Munjya or would the makers let it pass.

BREAKING: Varun Dhawan aka Bhediya has a cameo in Munjya

Bollywood Hungama has learned that the makers of Munjya present a huge surprise to the viewers. Varun Dhawan, the lead actor of Bhediya, appears in a cameo in Munjya. The scene is very crucial for the future of the Maddock Supernatural Universe. It probably also gives a hint on what one can expect in the next instalment of Bhediya and it surely enhances excitement for it.

Munjya stars Sharvari and Abhay Verma and is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, it is the story of a menacing spirit tied to a tree in a sleepy seaside town in Konkan, Maharashtra. All hell breaks loose once the spirit attaches himself to an awkward Pune boy for his ulterior motive, leading to chaos.

The Maddock Supernatural Universe began with a bang with Stree (2018), starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. Directed by Amar Kaushik, it was one of the biggest hits of 2018. This was followed by Roohi (2021), starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. Then came Bhediya and along with Varun Dhawan, it also starred Kriti Sanon.

The next film in the universe is Stree 2. It will release on August 30 this year and its pre-release hype is tremendous. Bhediya 2, meanwhile, was launched last year at an event of Jio Studios and is expected to release in 2025.

Jacqueline Fernandez participates in a beach cleaning drive on World Environment Day; see pics

On June 5, celebrating the occasion of World Environment Day, many celebrities decided to share their contribution towards safeguarding and conserving the environment. Among them was also Jacqueline Fernandez, who also advocates animal protection extensively. The actress was seen participating in a beach cleaning drive in association with Beach Please India and posted a few photos on her social media page along with a heartfelt note.

Jacqueline Fernandez was accompanied by the many volunteers from Beach Please India as they came together to clean the Mithi River which flows through the city. The actress, in her note, also urged her fans and followers to contribute to the environment in their own way to help preserve nature. She said in her note, “Happy world environment day with these superheroes at @beachpleaseindia to help clean up our beautiful beaches! ???? (they are here every Saturday at the Mithi River without fail)” She added, “Every piece of litter we picked up, was a step towards a cleaner, healthier and safer environment! Thank you @kalambemalhar for educating me on the many ways I can be more environmentally conscious and supportive of our beautiful planet”. She concluded by asking fans to comment on how they celebrated this occasion.


Just like many of her peers, Jacqueline too has often voiced out about the need to protect environment. “I believe compassion is what the world needs right now, rather always. There’s no place for apathy and hatred. Spreading love and given the current atmosphere, caring and showing compassion for each other, towards animals and the planet would be my most important message on this day as we celebrate Mother Earth,” the actress had shared during an interview with Times of India.

On the work front, Jacqueline Fernandez will next be seen in the film Fateh alongside Sonu Sood as the leading man. The film is expected to revolve around cyber bullying and cyber crimes and marks the debut of Sonu as a director.

EXCLUSIVE: Taran Adarsh analyses the first five months of 2024; is hopeful of Akshay Kumar bouncing back; feels Pushpa 2’s dubbed Hindi version can be 2024’s BIGGEST Hindi opener

Trade veteran Taran Adarsh spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama about his views on the first five months of 2024, what the rest of the year looks like and a lot more.

EXCLUSIVE: Taran Adarsh analyses the first five months of 2024; is hopeful of Akshay Kumar bouncing back; feels Pushpa 2’s dubbed Hindi version can be 2024’s BIGGEST Hindi opener

How were the first five months of 2024?
I won’t say it’s a bad year. 2024 has been good enough, as we have had moderate successes. There were mid-range and low-cost films that left a mark. Comparisons with last year will happen since 2023 started with a bang with Pathaan. The second half, meanwhile, had Gadar 2Jawan, and Animal etc. But in the first half, it was clearly Pathaan that brought so much euphoria, confidence and positivity back.

In 2024, the major problem was that both the big Eid releases – Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan – met with a disastrous fate. That’s the reason why the industry was taken aback completely. Hits and flops are of course a part and parcel of the industry. But what shocked the industry is that these films didn’t open to the desired numbers on a holiday. One can’t even argue that ‘Eid kal hai. Isliye aaj pre-Eid pe opening nahin lagi’. If any actor gives an excuse like that, please don’t believe it! Both the films were released on the Eid holiday and yet, they were disasters.

One didn’t expect Maidaan to fare so poorly. But then it’s not the kind of film that should have come on Eid. It’s a day when people want to celebrate. They don’t want to watch a serious subject on a festival.

As far as Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is concerned, it was a terrible film and it had to flop. Its debacle doesn’t come as a surprise.

Several films performed well this year…
Yes. There was Article 370. Then there was a very lovely film, Laapataa Ladies, which did not get its due, but it did quite well in its space. I fell in love with that film, as it’s beautiful. It did not really get those numbers but in that space, it was decent. Srikanth has also done well.

Fighter is an average film as far as the numbers are concerned. But if you look at the expectations, it was an underperformer. After all, it featured Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone with Siddharth Anand as the director. Moreover, it was Sidharth’s next after War (2019) and Pathaan.

Crew also did very well and so Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. The music was the hero of these films. Now the songs in Instagram reels are dominated by Heeramandi. But before that, it was the songs of Crew and prior to it, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’s songs were most popular. Its makers, however, implemented the buy-one-get-one ticket-free offer. I don’t agree with it. Aap logon ko bigaad rahe hai. I have been totally against it from day 1 itself. But ab kya kaarein. Sabki apni soch hoti hai.

Nevertheless, it’s a good sign that films have worked. But one can’t expect Rs. 400 or Rs. 500 crores grosser at the very start of a year. Lekin picture abhi baaki hai. The next 6 months would decide which are the films jo aasmaan pe baithegi ya zameen pe giregi!

Jio Studios had three back-to-back releases. While Article 370 and Shaitaan were commercially successful, Laapataa Ladies is also seen as a success due to unanimous acclaim, superb trending in cinemas and huge viewership on Netflix…
Jio Studios gets distinction marks. For them, to see this kind of numbers is so good. Kisi bhi producer ki film chalein toh khushi hoti hai. When films work, more projects get greenlit and made. There was a time until the 90s when mahurats used to be held and it used to be attended by members of the film fraternity. My father had made Harishchandra Taramati (1970) and I remember going on its set as a five-year-old kid. This is my first visit to a film set in my life and for the mahurat, the entire industry was present. This used to happen for every mahurat because people used to celebrate the launch of a film. They were not there to have samosa or peda. This was how the industry was. Now, we celebrate failures more than successes.

Hence, agar koi film chalti hai, toh aur 10 log film announce karte hai aur hazaaron logon ko kaam milta hai. When you make a flop, a producer faces two kinds of losses. One is the revenue loss and then there’s also the reputation loss. When you deliver a flop, dil mein ek kadwahat reh jaati hai ki yeh film kyun nahin chali. Hence, a film should work, be it of any studio or producer.

Ajay Devgn and Kriti Sanon have emerged as top winners. Ajay’s Shaitaan was a Rs. 150 crore grosser while both films of Kriti – Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Crew – worked…
When the time is right, everything falls in place. Firstly, the title Shaitaan itself is so strong. If you present the family’s emotions well, it can never go wrong. Audiences want to see that kind of film. Also, when it comes to these 1990s actors, they can’t be written off easily, be it Shah Rukh, Salman, Aamir, Akshay, Ajay or Hrithik. Yeh logon ko dilon mein baithe hai. Aaj bhi unka wohi rutba aur craze hai.

As for Kriti Sanon, I like her choices. An actor gets written off when he/she delivers multiple flops. You can only silence these detractors with your successes. And that’s what Kriti has done.

Was the election reason justified to keep films away from cinemas?
Also, IPL was added to it. But I feel we lost out on two months. Summers have always been the peak period. Though it’s quite hot this year, people do want to step out. And AC theatre mein picture dekhne ka mazaa hi alag hota hai. Hopefully, we’ll recover the ground in the coming months or weeks. Umeed pe duniya kaayam hai. So, let’s not start writing obituaries for Bollywood. I am sure we’ll be getting big numbers in the second half.

Will there be overcrowding in forthcoming months?
We can’t help it. There are only 52 Fridays in a year. In the second half of 2024, 26 Fridays will be remaining. And there are more than 26 films up for release, including the South dubbed. Hence, clashes are inevitable.

What are your views on Singham Again not clashing with Pushpa 2 on Independence Day?
I am very happy. These are two big films and deserve breathing space.

Will Aamir Khan deliver his first Rs. 400 crore film with Sitaare Zameen Par?
It’s too early to say. It’s not even officially announced yet.

Let’s talk about some of the significant releases this year. What are your views on Kartik Aaryan’s Chandu Champion and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3?
Both are very important. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 of course is an out-and-out mass commercial film. Chandu Champion is the first big film coming after a gap. Let’s see if it lives up to the expectations. Both are diverse in terms of content and that’s a very good sign for Kartik.

Triptii Dimri has become big after Animal. Do you feel her films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3Bad Newz, Dhadak 2 and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video will benefit from her sudden popularity?
Yes, it’ll add to it. I don’t think any actor alone can take a film to success unless you are a Sridevi or Hema Malini. It all boils down to content. An actor’s popularity, of course, is important but content eventually matters.

What do you think of Vicky Kaushal’s historical, Chhava?
It’s a very important film but no asset or poster of the film has come out. So, we have to wait and watch how the campaign unfolds.

Will Stree 2 open with a bang?
It can be a sure-shot huge opener. Both Stree 2 and Chhava are from Dinesh Vijan’s production house. He’s a very passionate filmmaker.

Will Akshay Kumar bounce back with Sarfira, Khel Khel Mein, Sky Force and Welcome To The Jungle?
Why not? I am very hopeful.

Will South dubbed films score at the box office in the remainder of 2024?
South films can really bring in the big bucks. Kalki, Indian 2, Pushpa 2, Game Changer and Devara have high chances. There could be a few surprises as well, like how Hanuman became a sleeper hit.

Will Pushpa 2 be the biggest opener of 2024?
Yes, it can, as it has that kind of goodwill. The recall value is also strong.

EXCLUSIVE: Banita Sandhu reveals how she cracked Miss Malhotra role in Bridgerton 3 after self-taping her audition during a vacation in 2022: “Had to pack up my stuff go back to London really quickly”

Six years ago, a new face emerged in the bustling world of Bollywood, Banita Sandhu. In April 2024, she marked six years in the industry. Sandhu’s debut came in 2018 with the critically acclaimed film October, helmed by Shoojit Sircar and starring Varun Dhawan. Since then, Sandhu has worked on several projects – in India and abroad. The British-Indian actress was recently seen in season 3 of the British series Bridgerton. She played the role of Miss Malhotra in the new season. Part 1 of the series premiered on May 16, 2024, with Part 2 scheduled for release on June 13, 2024.

EXCLUSIVE: Banita Sandhu reveals how she cracked Miss Malhotra role in Bridgerton 3 after self-taping her audition during a vacation in 2022: “Had to pack up my stuff go back to London really quickly”

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sandhu talked about cracking the audition during a vacation and how she had to quickly fly back to London. She said, “The project came just as an audition. Actually, it was in the summer of 2022 and my agent in the UK sent me a self-tape. I literally shot it and two days later, I had a call saying I got it. I was on holiday at the time. So I had to pack up my stuff and go back to London really quickly. And then next thing I knew I was in costume trials like it all happened very quickly.”

Speaking of the series, Sandhu admitted she hadn’t read the books but had watched the show. She continued, “I hadn’t read the books before. But I’ve obviously watched the seasons before. I was really lucky to meet Julia Quinn, who is the author of the books. She’s a wonderful writer, and I was telling her how excited I am for the future seasons and to go back and read the books.”

When asked what it about the show that left her awestruck, Sandhu added, “It’s such a grand scale of production. But the attention to detail was what impressed me the most, because of just the level of detailing in the costume and the makeup in the sets. We would shoot in these real manors in England. We’d go to these different locations outside of London; we’d all be staying in a hotel; we’d be doing night shoots for the ballroom scenes. For one ballroom scene, it would take like at least four to five days. But it was just the grand scale of a production and there were so many moving parts, but everything worked so seamlessly, which was the craziest thing because one thing could derail the whole production. But the way it just kept moving, it was like a big piece of machinery. And it was a beautiful machinery to say.”

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Netflix unveiled the trailer for the much-anticipated second half of Season 3, and it hints at a love story blooming between fan favourites Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). However, a familiar shadow of scandal looms large – Lady Whistledown’s secret identity.

On the work front, Banita Sandhu will be starring in Adivi Sesh’s Goodachari 2, marking her debut in the Telugu film industry.

Ryoma Takeuchi starrer Like a Dragon: Yakuza to premiere on Prime Video on October 25

Prime Video today announced the premiere of the Japanese Original series, Like a Dragon: Yakuza, streaming from October 25. The series is a live-action adaptation with an original story based on SEGA’s global hit game franchise, Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Directed by the critically acclaimed Masaharu Take, the series will feature Ryoma Takeuchi as the lead character, Kazuma Kiryu.

Ryoma Takeuchi starrer Like a Dragon Yakuza to premiere on Prime Video on October 25

Released in 2005 by SEGA, the ‘Yakuza’ game series was positioned as an entertaining game for adults, which found massive fanfare amongst its target audience. The series depicts the lives of fierce yet passionate gangsters and people living in a huge entertainment district, Kamurochō, a fictional district modeled after the violent Shinjuku ward’s Kabukichō, that acts as the backdrop of the gameplay.

Like a Dragon: Yakuza showcases modern Japan and the dramatic stories of these intense characters, such as the legendary Kazuma Kiryu, that games in the past have not been able to explore. The much-loved game has captured the attention and hearts of fans not only in Japan but also internationally and will now be adapted, developed, and streamed worldwide on Prime Video.

In 1995 and 2005, spanning across two time periods, Like a Dragon: Yakuza, an original crime-suspense-action series, follows the life, childhood friends, and repercussions of the decisions of Kazuma Kiryu, a fearsome and peerless Yakuza warrior with a strong sense of justice, duty, and humanity.

Playing the lead, Ryoma Takeuchi said, “I am truly honored to be allowed to play the role of Kazuma Kiryu, a beloved character and the game series. I strongly felt that I was willing to put my life on the line. Audience will enjoy the show’s human drama and conflict that unfolds around Kazuma Kiryu. Moreover, please take a look at Kiryu’s intense fighting scenes with the Dragon tattoo on his back.”

“I have poured out my heart, soul, and the experience that I have garnered over 35 years into Like a Dragon: Yakuza,” said director Masaharu Take. “The unbridled passion, talent, and countless hours of efforts from the entire team have helped bring this spectacular story to life in the form of a riveting series that will be launched this year, the year of the dragon. Please look forward to Kazuma Kiryu, played by Ryoma Takeuchi.”

“We are thrilled and extremely excited to announce the Amazon Original action-drama Like a Dragon: Yakuza, based on the popular Japanese game series,” said James Farrell, Head of International Originals, Amazon MGM Studios.

“The unfettered appeal for Japanese content from within Japan and other parts of the world has been growing exponentially. While Prime Video Japan continues to offer a variety of content across genres, adapting an internationally popular game franchise that has such deep resonance and layered characters presents a unique charm and makes for an extremely compelling watch. We are committed to augmenting our content library and are confident that Like a Dragon: Yakuza will strike a chord with audiences all over the world.”

Masayoshi Yokoyama, Head of RYUGAGOTOKU Studio and Executive Producer, further added, “Since the day I first put pen to paper on the original “Yakuza“’s script, I’ve never once thought about revisiting any of my work on the series. It’s because I understand all too well the challenges and hardships that come with remaking a finished title. However, if I were ever sent to the past through some kind of cosmic joke, this is the experience I’d want to create. If I had to go through the wringer anyhow, I’d want to make the most engaging versions of Kamurochō and Kazuma Kiryu I could —and this show has it all. There is no question that Prime Video’s Like a Dragon: Yakuza will become another landmark release for the Like a Dragon series. While the games let you experience their world through the subjective lens, this adaptation will be the ultimately objective way to enjoy the show. I have no doubt that fans of the series will be drawn to how it brings the games to life and adds new surprises. Newcomers, I’m sure will find themselves invested simply in the gritty realism of the show. If anything, I’d love to watch this version alongside audiences all around the world—experiencing all of its intensity and soaking in every single second.”

Like a Dragon: Yakuza, an Amazon Original series based on the globally popular game, will be available on Prime Video worldwide starting on October 25, 2024.
