Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is set to explore the life and legacy of Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee in his next project, following the completion of his upcoming film The Wives of Bollywood. The National Award-winning filmmaker and Padma Shri recipient will direct the film, which is backed by producer Aditya Kumar Halwasiya and jointly produced by Bhandarkar Entertainment and AKH Ventures.

Titled Syama – The Missing Chapter (working title), the film aims to bring the story of Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee to the big screen, revisiting his political journey, ideological beliefs and role in India's history.

A scholar and statesman, Dr. Mukherjee was a prominent political figure who advocated national unity. His journey included becoming the youngest Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calcutta and serving in independent India's first Cabinet under Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

The film will explore his ideological differences with the government, his decision to resign from the Cabinet and his role in founding the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in 1951. It will also revisit his 1953 campaign against the permit system in Jammu and Kashmir and the circumstances surrounding his death in detention.

Combining elements of historical drama and political thriller, Syama – The Missing Chapter seeks to examine the decisions and convictions that shaped Dr. Mukherjee's public life. The project also aims to revisit a chapter of India's political history and introduce his ideas and legacy to a new generation of viewers.

Speaking about the project, producer Aditya Kumar Halwasiya said, “Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee’s life is a powerful reminder that true leadership lies in courage, conviction and service to the nation. Through Syama, we aim to bring his remarkable journey to the screen and inspire a new generation to discover our history, embrace our heritage and understand the values that help shape our nation’s future,”

Director Madhur Bhandarkar also shared his thoughts on the project and said, “Exploring Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee’s life for the first time as a filmmaker is both a challenge and demanding. Through Syama, I hope to bring an important chapter of India’s history to the screen with honesty, sensitivity and a fresh perspective.”

The film is scheduled to go on floors next year, while further details about the cast and other aspects of the project remain under wraps.

Days after a shooting incident of Tiger Shroff in Mumbai’s Juhu neighbourhood, his team has shared a video on their official social media handle showing the injuries he sustained during the attack. The footage features visible cuts, abrasions and bruises, offering a glimpse of the physical impact of the incident. The actor reportedly escaped direct bullet injuries when unidentified assailants opened fire at his vehicle.

According to the details shared, the injuries were sustained amid the chaos as bullets struck the vehicle and shattered glass. The video shows marks on Tiger’s arms and back. The social media post comes as the investigation into the firing continues, with multiple agencies working to establish the circumstances surrounding the attack and identify everyone allegedly involved.

The shooting took place at around 7 pm on Sunday, October 18, outside a sports facility in Juhu. According to reports, motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire at Tiger’s car before fleeing the scene. The two-wheeler was reportedly abandoned near Andheri West railway station.

Tiger Shroff reportedly avoided fatal injuries, while his driver, Firdous, and a passer-by sustained injuries and were taken to Nanavati Hospital. The driver is said to remain under medical observation as he recovers.

Following the incident, an unverified social media claim linked the attack to the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate. However, the allegation has not been independently established, and investigators are continuing to examine the possible motive and the wider circumstances of the firing.

The Mumbai Crime Branch, working with other law enforcement agencies, has carried out arrests across several states in connection with the case. According to the details provided, the total number of people arrested had reached 10 by October 23.

Three key suspects, identified as Rehan Ansari, Phool Singh and Ritik Mahtoo, were reportedly apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan, while allegedly attempting to flee towards the Nepal border. They were subsequently brought to Mumbai. On October 21, a Mumbai court reportedly remanded the three suspects to police custody until October 31.

Investigators are also examining an alleged interstate weapons network and possible links between those accused of carrying out the attack and individuals suspected of assisting them. Further inquiries are reportedly focused on the planning of the incident, the movement of weapons and the possibility of a wider conspiracy.

The investigation has also prompted renewed scrutiny of security arrangements for prominent Bollywood personalities. Tiger’s representatives have expressed appreciation for the police response and urged people to refrain from circulating unverified information while the investigation remains ongoing.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has raised objections to the promotional content of Sunny Deol’s upcoming crime drama Suryaa: Ant Se Aarambh Tak, expressing concern over its portrayal of the medical profession. In a formal communication, the association questioned whether the film’s depiction of alleged corruption and violence against healthcare workers could contribute to negative perceptions of doctors and hospital personnel.

The IMA has outlined four key areas of concern, including the generalisation of alleged misconduct across the medical fraternity, the depiction of physical assaults on healthcare workers, the safety of medical personnel and the potential impact on doctor-patient trust.

In its letter, the association cautioned against portraying individual instances of wrongdoing in a manner that could reflect on the wider medical community. It stated, "The portrayal risks creating the impression that corruption, unethical practices, and alleged corruption in medical fraternity. While individual misconduct must be investigated and punished, the actions of a few must not be used to tarnish the reputation of countless honest and dedicated doctors."

The organisation also expressed concern over scenes involving physical confrontations in medical facilities, particularly if such actions are presented as justified. The IMA stated, "Scenes depicting physical assaults on doctors, nursing staff, and hospital personnel, particularly when presented as heroic or justified acts, risk normalising violence against those committed to saving lives."

Highlighting the safety concerns faced by healthcare workers, the association further said, "Doctors and healthcare personnel already face serious safety challenges in hospitals. Content that appears to glorify attacks on medical professionals may encourage hostility and further endanger those providing essential healthcare services."

The IMA also flagged the possible impact of such portrayals on public confidence in medical professionals, stating, "Such portrayals may foster unwarranted mistrust and hostility towards doctors, weakening the mutual trust and cooperation essential for effective treatment and healthcare delivery."

While making its objections known, the association clarified that it does not support unethical medical practices and that individual cases of misconduct should be addressed through statutory and disciplinary mechanisms. It argued that such instances should not lead to broad portrayals that could affect the reputation of the profession or discourage aspiring medical students.

As part of its appeal, the IMA requested an impartial review of the film’s content and asked for appropriate corrective measures to address its concerns. It also called on the relevant authorities to consider further action, stating, "In view of these concerns, we respectfully request... [an] impartial review of the film's content and its portrayal of the medical profession; seek appropriate corrective measures from the filmmakers to address the generalisation of alleged misconduct and the depiction of violence against healthcare workers; [and] consider a ban or other appropriate action if justified under applicable law."

Directed by M. Padmakumar in his Hindi directorial debut, Suryaa: Ant Se Aarambh Tak is an official remake of the 2018 Malayalam crime thriller Joseph. The film stars Sunny Deol as a retired police officer who investigates disturbing revelations involving medical malpractice and systemic corruption following a personal tragedy. The supporting cast includes Ravi Kishan, Pragya Jaiswal, Manish Wadhwa and Jisshu Sengupta.

Produced by Kamal Mukut, the film is scheduled to release theatrically on November 20, 2026. The IMA’s objections have brought attention to the film’s portrayal of healthcare workers ahead of its planned release.

Veteran actor Manoj Bajpayee has expressed concern over the firing incident targeting Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu neighbourhood, describing the situation as frightening and emphasising the need for a thorough investigation. Speaking to news agency ANI, Bajpayee said he was relieved that the Baaghi actor had escaped unharmed and hoped the authorities would take decisive action.

Reacting to the incident, Bajpayee said, “I don't see a gang war, but shots are being fired from who knows where, and that's really scary. Secondly, it's sad what happened to Tiger, but the best and happiest part is that he's safe, and his driver is also recovering slowly. Anyway, we aren't law and order experts or anything. From what I've heard in the news, the investigation is ongoing. The alleged suspects have been brought to Mumbai, and they've been arrested. I just hope the investigation wraps up as soon as possible and that an example is set so that next time, anyone will think twice before doing something like this.”

The incident took place on the evening of Sunday, October 18, when unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s car in Juhu before fleeing on a motorcycle. The actor escaped without gunshot injuries, while his driver, Firdous, and a bystander sustained injuries and were taken to Nanavati Hospital for treatment. The driver is reportedly recovering.

The Mumbai Crime Branch’s Anti-Extortion Cell is leading the investigation. According to reports, the suspected shooters fled Mumbai through Gujarat and Rajasthan and were intercepted in Kota before being brought back to the city. On October 21, a court remanded three accused to police custody until October 31 as investigators continued questioning them.

The probe has also widened beyond the alleged shooters. The Delhi Police Special Cell has reportedly arrested individuals suspected of being part of an interstate weapons supply network linked to the case. Investigators are examining possible connections to an overseas-based syndicate allegedly affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. An online claim of responsibility has also been reported, although the alleged links and motive remain subject to investigation.

Meanwhile, reports that the accused may have conducted reconnaissance near other prominent residences have prompted precautionary security measures, including heightened security around Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Bandra.

Tiger Shroff’s team has urged the public and media to avoid speculation while the investigation continues. The authorities are expected to establish the circumstances surrounding the attack and determine whether a wider conspiracy was involved.

Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Rakul Preet Singh, Ravie Dubey, producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari and music maestro A R Rahman attended the musical event for their film Ramayana in Chennai. A R Rahman performed to the songs of the film and mesmerized the audience. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor clarified the goof-up he made the day before at a Dussehra event held in Kolkata as part of Ramayana promotions. At this event, Ranbir Kapoor mistakenly said, “Burai chahe kitne bhi taaqatwar kyun na ho, aakhir mein anth sacchai aur acchaai ki hi hogi”. The video went viral on social media, leading to a lot of trolling.

Ranbir Kapoor began by saying, “Vanakkam, Chennai! Thank you for this love and energy. We really feel welcomed by all you beautiful people. Ramayana is a story that connects all of us through love, faith and our culture. I have had the privilege of working with the maestro, Mr Rahman, on two of my films (Rockstar and Tamasha). And both have been really special to me. But sir, this opportunity will be remembered forever. It’s really an opportunity of a lifetime to collaborate with you on this film.”

He then said, “I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for an incident that happened yesterday. I was at a Dussehra event and I had a slip of tongue. What I meant to say is ‘Burai chahe kitne bhi taaqatwar kyun na ho, aakhir mein jeet sachhai aur achhai ki hi hogi’. So, this reminds me of a collaboration that I had with Rahman sir in Rockstar – ‘Jo bhi main kehna chahoon, barbaad karein alfaaz mere’! So, I truly apologize for that (smiles).”

Ramayana releases in cinemas worldwide on November 5.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is returning to the Mumbai underworld with Police Company, an upcoming crime saga that will explore the city’s turbulent gang wars from the perspective of law enforcement. T-Series, in association with RGV Company Production, has officially announced the theatrical release date of the action thriller. Starring Harshvardhan Rane in the lead role, the film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas nationwide on June 4, 2027.

Known for exploring the underbelly of Mumbai through films like Satya and Company, Ram Gopal Varma is revisiting familiar territory with a narrative that shifts the focus from gangsters to the police officers who confronted them. In Police Company, Harshvardhan Rane will portray Daya Nayak, the Mumbai police encounter specialist whose operations became a significant part of the city’s underworld history.

Inspired by true events and real-life police officers who operated during the late 1990s and early 2000s, the film will delve into the functioning of Mumbai’s encounter squad during a particularly volatile period. The narrative is expected to explore the circumstances, aggressive policing tactics and high-stakes operations that shaped the battle against organised crime in the financial capital.

The film will revisit an era when gang-related violence and the underworld’s influence formed a significant part of Mumbai’s crime landscape. According to the film’s announcement, the story will trace the operations through which the encounter squad neutralised around 300 gangsters, eventually dismantling the underworld’s terror network in the city. By placing law enforcement at the centre of the narrative, Police Company aims to offer a different perspective on a chapter that has frequently inspired crime dramas in Hindi cinema.

Alongside Harshvardhan Rane, Police Company features Fardeen Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Paresh Rawal, Saurabh Shukla, Makarand Deshpande and Ashwini Kalsekar in pivotal roles. The ensemble brings together several established performers, including actors who have previously been associated with Ram Gopal Varma’s distinctive brand of crime cinema.

The casting also marks a creative reunion for several veteran actors whose work has contributed to Varma’s crime-film legacy over the decades. Their presence adds to the film’s focus on an intense, character-driven narrative set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s underworld and the police operations mounted against it.

Presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, Police Company is directed by Ram Gopal Varma and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Ram Gopal Varma. The film is being made under the banners of T-Series Films and RGV Company Production.

With its real-life inspiration, portrayal of a defining period in Mumbai’s underworld history and Harshvardhan Rane stepping into the role of Daya Nayak, Police Company marks Varma’s return to a genre closely associated with his filmography. The crime drama is slated for a nationwide theatrical release on June 4, 2027.

Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Rakul Preet Singh, Ravie Dubey, producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari and Andhra Pradesh-Telangana distributor Dil Raju attended the grand pre-release event of Ramayana in Hyderabad. The event followed a successful gathering in Bengaluru just a few days earlier. At the beginning of the film, Dil Raju, whose production and distribution company, Sri Venkateswara Creations, will release Ramayana in Andhra-Telangana, spoke highly of the film and its star cast. However, at one point, he goofed up, calling Ranbir Kapoor Ranveer Singh. He immediately realized his faux pas, laughed and apologized.

Dil Raju said, “Ranbir ji, we have distributed two of your films here – Brahmastra (2022) and Animal (2023). Ramayana is the third and hopefully, it’ll be a hattrick of success here. So, thank you, sir.”

He then said, “One of the best actors we have today is Ranveer Singh garu. Sorry, Ranbir Kapoor garu (laughs)!”

#DilRaju mistakenly referred to #RanbirKapoor as ‘RANVEER SINGH’ And later he apologised for the mixup…! https://t.co/EvgsTV92DG

At the event, the makers proudly announced that the grand premiere of Ramayana will take place at the David Geffen Theatre of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, on October 27.

Meanwhile, Yash gave his speech at the end and he said, “He (Namit Malhotra) has made a gamble. He has put his reputation, his money and everything at stake to put this film on a global platform. If people like cinema, they’ll talk about it. But please don’t try to find small faults in the VFX. It’ll never happen again. If we lose people like him now, we’ll go back many years. So, let’s watch Ramayana with an open mind. He has all the right intentions. When it comes to any criticism or correction, he has always taken it in stride and tried to make it better.”

Ramayana releases in cinemas worldwide on November 5.

One of the most awaited films of 2027, Naam - To Live Is War, has just got bigger. Presented by Mahesh Bhatt, the film was announced in June and stars Veer Pahariya in the lead. Varun Sharma of Fukrey fame will be seen playing a negative role for the first time in his career. Last week, the makers announced that Prashant Narayanan, Vijayant Kohli and Shefali Bagga had joined the cast. Now, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that another prominent name has come on board – Himesh Reshammiya.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Naam - To Live Is War is an intense film and the makers wanted someone who could do musical justice to its subject and theme. They felt Himesh Reshammiya would be the right choice. Himesh was impressed with the film's plot and the passion of the team and hence, he readily came on board. He was also excited about collaborating with Mahesh Bhatt after a long time.”

Interestingly, Himesh Reshammiya and Mahesh Bhatt go back a long way. Himesh composed the song 'Soorat Pe Teri Pyar Aave' for Footpath (2003), starring Aftab Shivdasani and Emraan Hashmi. Mahesh Bhatt was associated with the film as a writer. Later, Mahesh Bhatt wrote the story and screenplay of Kajraare (2010), which starred Himesh Reshammiya in the lead. Himesh also composed and sang all the songs of the film.

Naam - To Live Is War, hence, marks their reunion after nearly 16 years. Although they haven't collaborated during this period, the mutual respect has remained intact. After the release of Himesh Reshammiya's 2014 mystery thriller The Xposé, he revealed in an interview with The Times of India that Mahesh Bhatt had personally called to congratulate him. Himesh had said, “Bhatt sahab called to congratulate me and that was an emotional moment for me. His praise means a lot.”

Himesh Reshammiya is on a roll. Besides Naam - To Live Is War, he has several interesting films in his pipeline, including Sooraj Barjatya's Yeh Prem Mol Liya, the Emraan Hashmi-starrer Gunmaaster G9, Anil Sharma's Arjun Naga and Vikram Bhatt's horror film, 1920: Cold Winter.

The source further revealed, “Like these upcoming films, the music rights of Naam - To Live Is War have also been acquired by Himesh Reshammiya's music label, Himesh Reshammiya Melodies.”

Coming back to Naam - To Live Is War, the film is presented by Mahesh Bhatt under Utsav Entertainment and Productions. Directed by Sidhaant Sachdev, it is produced by Utsav Upadhyay and Riddhi Chawda.

Naam - To Live Is War marks Veer Pahariya's third film after the Akshay Kumar-Sara Ali Khan co-starrer Sky Force (2025) and the recently released romantic comedy Prem Keetanu (2026).

In the footage, the actor appeared with dressings right below the neck, on his arm, and a crepe bandage too around his arm. Shinde has not yet addressed the media about the incident.

According to preliminary reports, the incident took place at around 7 pm on Sunday near Pushpa Park in Juhu, when Shroff was returning from a football session. The assailants reportedly arrived on a motorcycle and fired multiple rounds at the actor’s BMW. Shroff is said to have escaped without sustaining any bullet injuries, although the vehicle was hit during the firing.

The Mumbai Police and the Crime Branch subsequently cordoned off the area where the firing took place. Investigators reportedly recovered empty bullet shells from the scene, while forensic teams were mobilised to examine the evidence. The investigation is also focusing on CCTV footage from the surrounding area to establish the sequence of events and identify those involved. Reports indicate that the police are examining available evidence and pursuing leads as the search continues across the city.

Shortly after the incident, a message circulating on social media allegedly claimed responsibility in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate. However, the claim remains unverified. Senior police officials have reportedly indicated that all angles are being examined as part of the ongoing investigation, and no conclusion has been established regarding the identity or motive of the assailants.

The incident has prompted heightened attention to the investigation, with authorities working to establish the circumstances surrounding the firing and trace those involved. Further details are expected as the police continue their probe into the shooting near Pushpa Park in Juhu.

Amit Trivedi spoke with Komal Nahta and revealed how he became a music composer. He began by saying, “I had done stage musical performances. Later, I worked in advertising for 4-5 years, as well as in television. I wanted to do something in the field of independent music, but working in films was never my aim. Also, mere family mein duur-duur tak films se koi naata nahin tha.”

He said, “While working in the field of advertising, I met Shilpa Rao. She used to sing a lot of ads in the studios regularly. I fell in love with her voice. Also, she was a wonderful person and we became close friends. One day, I expressed my wish of collaborating with her for an album. She agreed. The first song I made in collaboration with her was ‘Dhol Yaara Dhol’ (which later became a part in Dev D; 2009). I wanted to create its music video and then pitch it to MTV or Sony. However, she was very ambitious. She took this and other songs to film directors.”

When remarked that Shilpa Rao struggled on his behalf, Amit Trivedi guffawed and replied, “In a way, you can say that!”

He added, “One fine day, she called me and said, ‘I met Anurag Kashyap sir and I played some stuff. Tu aa ke milega kya?’. I replied, ‘Why are you doing this? We are thinking of a music album and going independent. Yeh film ki chakkar mein kahaan pad rahi hai yaar? This is not my scene’.  I was reluctant because I was inherently shy. The film world seemed very overwhelming and intimidating for me. I thought ki main apni choti si duniya mein main theek hoon! But Shilpa threw me into it and that’s how Anurag sir became the first personality whom I met.”

Amit Trivedi continued, “I had some apprehensions, but Anurag sir made me very comfortable. It was the time when Black Friday (2007) had just been released and work was going on for No Smoking (2007). He even showed us No Smoking. For the first time, I saw a raw version of a film without background score or dubbing. However, mujhe woh film dekh ke kuch samaj nahin aaya (laughs). I started wondering what I would tell him if he asked me, ‘Kaisi lagi film’!”

No Smoking starred John Abraham in the lead along with Paresh Rawal and Ranvir Shorey in the supporting cast.

Mamonde, the Korean skincare brand from the Amorepacific Group, has signed actor Nitanshi Goel as its first brand ambassador in India. The association marks an exciting next step for the brand, which launched exclusively on Nykaa in August 2026, as it brings its distinctive, flower-powered approach to skincare to a new generation of Indian beauty consumers.

Nitanshi captured the country’s attention with her breakout performance in Laapataa Ladies, winning hearts with her charm and natural screen presence. Now, she is stepping into the world of Korean beauty with Mamonde, a brand that pairs skincare science with the power of flowers. With young Indian consumers increasingly looking to K-beauty for innovative formulations and effective skincare, the partnership brings together a rising young star and a brand looking to make its mark in one of beauty’s most exciting categories.

“India’s beauty consumers are evolving quickly, and the relevance of Korean beauty among young people continues to grow. With Mamonde, we are bringing innovative, benefit-led skincare to India at accessible price points. Nitanshi’s youthful energy and relatability make her the ideal face to introduce Mamonde to the next generation of beauty consumers. This appointment reflects our long-term commitment to building Mamonde into a strong Korean skincare brand in India,” said Paul Lee, Managing Director & Country Head, Amorepacific India.

“Mamonde brings together Korean skincare expertise, targeted formulations and a fresh approach to everyday beauty.

Just as every flower blooms differently, every individual has unique skin needs. Mamonde encourages consumers to embrace that individuality and discover skincare that works for them.

“I’m really excited to be joining Mamonde as its first brand ambassador in India. What drew me to the brand is how it combines Korean skincare innovation with a message that feels personal. ‘Let Your Skin Bloom’ is something I connect with because everyone’s skin is different, and skincare should be about discovering what makes you feel your best. I can’t wait to introduce more young people to Mamonde and be part of the brand’s journey in India,” said Nitanshi Goel.

Mamonde’s skincare range brings a targeted approach to everyday skin concerns. The Rose HA range, featuring a Serum and Sunscreen, focuses on hydration for a plump-looking, dewy complexion. The Peony BHA range, comprising a Serum and Sunscreen, addresses pore care and excess sebum management while providing UV protection. The range also features the Liquid Mask, a leave-on formula that combines gentle exfoliation with glow-enhancing benefits for an easy addition to everyday skincare routines.

With its first brand ambassador now on board, Mamonde is set to introduce more Indian consumers to its take on Korean skincare, with Nitanshi helping bring its ‘Let Your Skin Bloom’ philosophy to life.
