With the trailer of Awarapan 2 set to launch on August 6, anticipation around Emraan Hashmi’s much-awaited sequel continues to grow. The film, which arrives in cinemas on August 14 during the Independence Day holiday weekend, will face competition from Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947. Despite the high-profile box office clash, producer Vishesh Bhatt has expressed confidence and gratitude, saying the release date was chosen with audiences in mind rather than competition.

Addressing the much-discussed clash, Vishesh Bhatt said, “We came on the date that seemed best. It's our first release coming into 14th August on a holiday and it's our fortune and luck that we get to share this release date with the legend Sunny Deol and and it's with a lot of humility we would like to bring the film on a holiday so more people can also come and watch this film.”

#Awaarapan2 producer Vishesh Bhatt answers the question on the Independence Day clash with #Batwara1947.

He says it's THEIR fortune to share this release date with the LEGEND SUNNY DEOL ♥️

ALL the best to them as well!!

Healthy clash ho jaye....!! #SunnyDeol pic.twitter.com/8R3R3bhzki — Deva Ki Adaalat (@SunnyDeolFanHu) August 4, 2026

His remarks reflect the makers’ positive outlook towards the festive release window, which traditionally draws large crowds to theatres. Instead of viewing the simultaneous release as a rivalry, Bhatt emphasized that the holiday period offers moviegoers an opportunity to enjoy multiple films on the big screen.

Awarapan 2 marks the return of Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit nearly two decades after the original Awarapan earned cult status among fans. The sequel also stars Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Suvinder Vicky and Vijayant Kohli, promising a blend of action, romance and emotional drama while carrying forward the legacy of the 2007 film.

Music has always been one of the biggest strengths of the Awarapan franchise. Songs like ‘Tera Mera Rishta,’ ‘Toh Phir Aao,’ and ‘Maula Maula’ continue to enjoy immense popularity years after the original film's release. Keeping that legacy alive, the makers have already hinted that Awarapan 2 will feature a fresh soundtrack while retaining the soulful musical identity that made the first film memorable. The music is expected to play a key role in connecting both old fans and a new generation of audiences.

With nostalgia, music, and Emraan Hashmi reprising one of his most loved characters, Awarapan 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of the Independence Day weekend.

Yash Raj Films (YRF), one of India's leading entertainment studios, today announced the launch of Raah Records, a new music company and incubator created to discover, develop and support original artists while helping them build long-term creative careers beyond film music.

For over five decades, YRF has helped shape Indian music through some of cinema's most enduring soundtracks. Raah Records extends that legacy into India's rapidly evolving music ecosystem by bringing together artist development, original music creation and long-term career building under one dedicated platform.

Speaking about the launch, Akshaye Widhani, CEO, Yash Raj Films, said: "Raah Records represents an important strategic expansion of Yash Raj Films' music business. For over five decades, we have believed in identifying exceptional talent and creating platforms where creativity can thrive. As India's independent music ecosystem enters a defining phase of growth, we believe great artists need more than distribution; they need belief, time and long-term creative partnership. Raah Records is built around careers, not campaigns, bringing together world-class A&R, artist development, marketing and distribution to help original artists build lasting careers."

Rather than operating as a traditional release-driven label, Raah Records has been conceived as a long-term creative partner for artists. Through its incubator model, the company has already been working closely with emerging musicians behind the scenes, with its first artist now beginning the next chapter of that journey under the Raah Records banner. The launch reflects YRF's continued investment in nurturing creative talent while expanding its music business beyond cinema into original independent music.

Raah Records will be led by Nakul Sharma, Senior General Manager - Music Management, Yash Raj Films, who has played a central role in shaping the label's artist development philosophy, A&R strategy and long-term incubator model. Under his leadership, Raah Records will work closely with artists from the earliest stages of their careers, supporting songwriting, production, creative direction, audience growth and strategic partnerships.

Speaking about the launch of Raah Records and its first release, Nakul Sharma, Senior General Manager – Music Management, Yash Raj Films, said: "Raah Records was built on a belief that artists need time, they need trust, and they need the space to grow into who they already are. Our role is to stand beside them throughout that journey, helping them build lasting careers without losing what makes them unique. Aman is exactly the kind of artist we built 'Raah' for, and 'Jaadugari' felt like a fitting way to begin his journey and the label's."

The first glimpse of the track 'Jaadugari,' which was released today, will be available across all major audio streaming platforms from August 5 onwards. The song marks the beginning of Aman's journey with Raah Records, following a year of close creative collaboration that helped shape and refine his artistic voice.

Recently, reports claimed that Salman Khan had charged just Rs. 70 crores for Vamshi Paidipally’s upcoming untitled film. It was further alleged that the superstar, whose usual remuneration is said to exceed Rs. 120 crores, had agreed to reduce his fee by nearly 40% for the action entertainer. However, Bollywood Hungama has now received an exclusive statement from the film’s producers, categorically denying these claims.

The producers, Sri Venkateswara Creations, have shared the following statement with Bollywood Hungama: “We have come across several reports circulating regarding Salman Khan’s remuneration for SVC63. We would like to categorically state that these reports are completely false and baseless.

As producers, we do not comment on or disclose confidential business or financial arrangements related to our projects. The figures currently being circulated, including those relating to the film’s budget, are purely speculative and factually incorrect.

We sincerely request members of the media to reach out to us for any clarification pertaining to SVC63 before publishing such reports.

Our team remains committed to creating a grand cinematic experience for audiences and delivering a film that lives up to their expectations. We truly value your continued support and look forward to your cooperation in keeping the spotlight on the film and the experience we are working hard to create for audiences.”

Besides Salman Khan, the untitled film also stars Nayanthara. Presented by Dil Raju, it went on floors on April 22, 2026. It is produced under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations by Shirish and Kuldeep Rathore and co-produced by Rafi Kazi.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray questioned actors Vivek Oberoi and R. Madhavan over their decision to live in Dubai despite publicly praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the development taking place in India. Speaking at an event organised by the Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena, the student wing of the MNS, in Mumbai on Saturday, Thackeray criticised what he described as a growing trend of prominent personalities and industrialists moving abroad.

Referring to Vivek Oberoi, who portrayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2019 biographical film based on the PM, Thackeray remarked, “Vivek Oberoi, who made a film on Modi and played Modi's role in it, has also gone to live in Dubai.” He also questioned R. Madhavan's decision to reside in Dubai and said, “R Madhavan who praised PM Modi - where does he live? He lives in Dubai. So if you love India so much, if you love PM Modi, if they believe that PM Modi is developing India, then why are they living in a foreign land? Why are they living in Dubai with their families?” Thackeray further alleged, “They will come here, work in a government-sponsored film like Dhurandhar and then will go back to Dubai.” Madhavan has previously stated that he relocated to Dubai during the COVID-19 pandemic to support his son's swimming career, while Vivek Oberoi has said he moved there to expand his business interests. During the same address, Thackeray also spoke about the language used against Prime Minister Modi during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Referring to the Prime Minister's response that such "misguided children" should be forgiven and guided, Thackeray said, “I agree with it (PM's statement). No one should use a language of such a low level. But he should tell people of his own party.” He alleged that BJP troll groups frequently target public figures, including Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and members of the Thackeray family. According to him, several actors now avoid expressing their opinions publicly because of online trolling. Thackeray added that abusive language should not be used against anyone and remarked, “Even they (BJP supporters) should be asked to stop (from using derogatory language). BJP troll teams started this. As you sow, so shall you reap.” He also said the NEET paper leak controversy may have sparked the CJP protests, but the large public participation reflected accumulated grievances built up over the years.

After a three-year absence from the big screen, superstar Shah Rukh Khan will return this year with the highly anticipated action entertainer, King. A special announcement promo unveiled in January confirmed that the film would arrive in cinemas on December 24. In recent weeks, however, speculation has been rife that King might miss its scheduled release and be pushed to 2027. Bollywood Hungama has now learnt that there are no plans to postpone the film and that King remains firmly on track to release on December 24, 2026.

Significantly, King will arrive amid three major Hollywood releases. December 18 will witness the epic clash between Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three. Avengers: Doomsday is expected to take a thunderous start; in fact, the extraordinary box office performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has further underlined the massive demand for Marvel films among Indian moviegoers.

In comparison, Dune: Part Three is likely to appeal to a relatively niche audience. However, the Rs. 27.86 crore lifetime business of Dune: Part Two (2024) indicates that the franchise has a significant following in India. Moreover, its release in IMAX is expected to further boost its box office prospects.

Finally, Jumanji: Open World is part of a franchise with strong mass appeal. The previous two instalments collected more than Rs. 50 crores each at the Indian box office, and expectations are therefore high from the Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan-starrer.

A trade source commented, “In India, King will have an edge as it is a Hindi film starring Shah Rukh Khan and several other prominent actors. Among the Hollywood releases, Avengers: Doomsday will pose the strongest competition, as the franchise is now one of the biggest in India. Internationally, however, all three Hollywood films are major releases with blockbuster potential. This is where King could face some challenges in securing an adequate number of screens.”

The trade source continued, “However, only a film of King’s calibre can take on such Hollywood giants. Shah Rukh Khan is the biggest Indian star overseas. Moreover, Yash Raj Films is distributing King in international markets. They will surely leverage their years of experience and goodwill to secure the best possible screens and show timings.”

An industry insider remarked, “Many were hoping that King would release in 2027. However, that would probably have meant waiting until after April or May. Love & War is scheduled to release on January 21, while the holy month of Ramzan begins in the first week of February. This will be followed by major releases such as Spirit on March 5 and Varanasi on April 7. By arriving during Christmas, King may initially face some screen-sharing issues. On the positive side, however, it won’t face any fresh competition until Republic Day. If the word of mouth is as strong as expected, the sky is the limit for the film.”

One section of the exhibition ecosystem that remains concerned is the single-screen sector. A theatre owner, speaking on the condition of anonymity, sighed, “It will undoubtedly be a beneficial period for the box office. We only hope that distributors and studios do not arm-twist us or force us to screen just one film.”

The recently released trailer offered audiences a glimpse into the emotional narrative, highlighting themes of loss, resilience and hope.

The film also marks the reunion of Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi after nearly three decades.

Produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Batwara 1947 features music composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar.

With the nationwide promotional campaign gathering momentum, the team's visit to Patna Sahib is expected to be one of the key highlights of the tour.

In every city, Sunny Deol will honour and felicitate citizens who went beyond their moral duty and made a meaningful difference to society. Through this gesture, Makers wants the film’s journey to celebrate real-life courage and compassion,” added the source.

While the makers have not officially announced further details about the initiative, it is expected to be incorporated into the film's promotional events across the country. The gesture is said to align with the film's themes of humanity, resilience and compassion during times of conflict.

The recently released trailer has offered audiences a glimpse into the emotional narrative of Batwara 1947, depicting the impact of Partition through the experiences of its characters. The film aims to explore not only the tragedy associated with the historical event but also the stories of individuals who displayed courage and empathy amid extraordinary circumstances.

As the nationwide promotional tour gathers momentum, the reported initiative to recognise citizens making a positive impact could add a distinctive element to the campaign, while reinforcing the film's central themes of courage, compassion and hope.
