Jio Studios locks all three BIG festivals and holidays of second half of 2024 for the release of their exciting releases: Stree 2, Singham Again, Baby John

Yesterday, the fans and trade got a surprise as it was announced that Baby John will now arrive on Christmas. It was originally scheduled to be released in theatres on May 31 but now has been pushed to December 25. It is backed by Jio Studios and in an interesting development, the production house has managed to book all the three major holidays of 2024 for their exciting releases. While Stree 2 will arrive on Independence Day (August 15), Singham Again has been locked for a Diwali release. This decision marks a significant step in Jio Studios’ efforts to capitalize on festive periods, which traditionally see higher cinema footfalls.

Stree 2 is the sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy hit, Stree. The original star cast – Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana and Pankaj Tripathi – feature in the second installment. The film is even more awaited after the success of the recent release Munjya, which was also set in the same cinematic universe. It is also produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and directed by Amar Kaushik.

Singham Again, meanwhile, has tremendous buzz due to the association of blockbuster director Rohit Shetty. Ajay once again reprises his role of Bajirao Singham and this time, he’s joined by Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff. Though it’ll clash with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which is another highly awaited film, the charismatic presence of its leading man, the high-octane action (a hallmark of the series) and its patriotic fervour are sure to pull in viewers.

Finally, Baby John stars Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi and is produced by Jawan director Atlee. Details about Baby John are still under wraps, but buzz suggests it will be a family-oriented film with a mix of humour and heartwarming moments. Christmas, a time for family gatherings and celebrations, could provide the perfect setting for audiences to flock to theatres for this flick.

With this strategic scheduling, Jio Studios not only aims to maximize viewership but also sets the stage for setting new box office records. As the second half of 2024 approaches, movie enthusiasts have much to look forward to, and Jio Studios’ holiday trio will undoubtedly be at the centre of cinematic excitement.

Aditi Rao Hydari slams Heathrow airport authorities post her baggage claim delay of over 32 hours

After receiving immense role for her role as Bibbojaan in the recently released web-series Heeramandi, Aditi Rao Hydari recently took off to London to fulfill her other commitments. The actress, however, was extremely upset over the baggage ordeal and took to social media to share her disappointing experience at the Heathrow airport. The actress apparently had to wait for over 2-3 hours to get her own baggage and described the issue in a series of posts.

Aditi Rao Hydari shares photos and videos on Instagram

In a series of videos and photos she posted on her Instagram story, Aditi Rao Hydari described her awful experience at the Heathrow airport as she continued to wait for the arrival of her baggage. In the first post she said, “Heathrow chaos x 10000 2 hours at an empty luggage belt! (vomiting face emoji) @heathrow_airport Worst!!!!!!! (angry face emoji)”.

In yet another post, she shared a screenshot of her conversation with Heathrow airport’s official social media page where she took up the issue with the authorities of the airport but received a response where the airport clearly denied ‘any control’ over the ‘baggage handling process’. Upset over their response, Aditi shared the screenshot of the same along with a caption that read, “Heathrow their hands off any answers”.

Aditi Rao Hydari starts a countdown

In a series of posts, the actress started a countdown which went on to 32 hours, which is more than da day, wherein she revealed that she has not received her baggage, further asserting that the airport authorities have refused to take any responsibility. “And 17 hours later Another countdown @british airways Where is my luggage? Where is our luggage? #gutsontoast”. Her recent post read, “32 hours and ticking @british_airways and @heathrow_airport Show zero accountability and are conveniently MIA.”

Meanwhile Aditi also shared details of the ordeal and slammed the airways and the airport in a post on the social media platform X, aka Twitter, wherein she wrote, “19 hours and ticking….  Also,  @British_Airways just putting it out there. This isn’t my first rodeo with the brits…watch #Heeramandi on  @NetflixIndia and you’ll know that I’m not one to go down without a fight for justice! So can you free our bags! ASAP! I have a conference to attend, and the essentials I’ll need for it will not meet your criteria for essentials”.
