Dharma Productions’ Good News postponed yet again

One of the leading moviemaking banners Dharma Productions, headed by filmmaker Karan Johar, has decided to defer the release of their upcoming film Good News from 6th September to 27th December.

Well, this is not the first time when the release date of the hotly anticipated movie has been reshuffled. Good News, which marks the directorial debut of Raj Mehta, was earlier scheduled to hit the marquee in the second quarter of 2019. However, its release was later pushed to September.


The movie is headlined by Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. The film reunites Akshay with Kareena after a huge gap of a decade. They were last seen together in Kambakkht Ishq, which released in 2009.

Diljit Dosanjh, who is doing his first movie with Dharma Productions, took to Instagram to share the new release date. His caption read: “Bringing in the New Year with ‘Good News’ for you. Delivery date: 27th December 2019”.

Now Good News will roll into theatres one week after superstar Salman Khan’s much-awaited Dabangg 3.

Author Chetan Bhagat says the obsession with fame is harming Bollywood actors' mental health

Highlights:

  • Bhagat says some stars can’t enjoy meals if not photographed.
  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
