The siblings shared a captivating video on their profiles, showcasing a vibrant and eye-catching sign that read, “Mere Khushi Arjun Ayenge in a filmy style.” This subtle yet engaging post sent fans into a frenzy, creating a whirlwind of speculation about a possible new collaboration between the two.
While the details of their upcoming project remain under wraps, the buzz signifies the excitement surrounding their potential on-screen partnership. Khushi Kapoor, who made her much-awaited acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s Indian adaptation of the Archie Comics, is already making waves in the industry. On the other hand, Arjun Kapoor is all set to enthrall audiences with his role as the antagonist in the highly anticipated film, Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty and starring Ajay Devgn. This film will mark a significant milestone as Arjun’s 20th venture in Bollywood.
Adding to the excitement is the unprecedented praise for Indian filmmaking coming from international heavyweights. Renowned directors James Cameron and Joe Russo recently expressed their admiration for Indian director SS Rajamouli. During an insightful discussion featured in the docu-film, Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli, both Cameron and Russo delved into Rajamouli’s exceptional storytelling skills. Cameron lauded Rajamouli’s style, describing it as filled with “energy and dynamism” and applauded his innovative spirit.

Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan excited his fans by announcing the wrap-up of shooting for his upcoming horror-comedy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The 33-year-old actor took to Instagram to share the news, hinting at a Diwali release with his caption “this Diwali.” The film, directed by Anees Bazmee, who also helmed the successful second sequel released in 2022, is highly anticipated. The previous installment brought Aaryan significant acclaim and was hailed as one of the best-performing films post-pandemic. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will feature Triptii Dimri and Vidya Balan, who starred in the original 2007 film, in the lead roles.
In another corner of Bollywood, John Abraham, known for his action-packed roles, had a recent encounter with the media that turned heads. While promoting his latest film Vedaa, Abraham faced a rather blunt question about the perceived similarity of his roles. Known for his straightforward and no-nonsense demeanor, the 51-year-old actor didn’t hold back. “Can I call out bad questions and idiots,” he retorted when a journalist suggested he should be part of “something new.” Abraham fired back, “Have you seen this movie [Vedaa]? Watch the film and then judge. And then I’m all yours. Whatever you say. But if you’re wrong, I’m going to turn you around and tear you apart.” The film marks another collaboration with director Nikkhil Advani, following their partnership in Batla House (2019) and Satyamev Jayate (2021).
Amidst all the excitement, Vicky Kaushal, Ammy Virk, and Triptii Dimri’s latest film, Bad Newz, celebrated a significant achievement by crossing the Rs 100 crore mark at the global box office. Directed by Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz, which released on July 19, has garnered an impressive Rs 102.77 crore. This milestone marks a triumphant moment for the film’s cast and crew and sets high expectations for its ongoing success.
