According to reports, Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Karan Deol-starrer Apne 2, which was set to enter theatres on Diwali 2021, has moved off the crowded festive weekend, scheduling to open a few months later in 2022.

Apne 2, directed by Anil Sharma, is a sequel to the successful 2007 film Apne which starred Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Shilpa Shetty, and Katrina Kaif in important roles. The three Deols are set to reprise their roles from the original. Karan Deol, who is the son of action star Sunny Deol, is set to join the trio and play a boxer in the sequel. There is no update on the casting of female leads.

“It is still being scripted and as against the initial plan of taking the film on floors by the month of April, the makers have now pushed the schedule to July. Apne has found appreciation from a section of the audience and taking it forward as a franchise is a challenge in itself. Anil Sharma and his team of writers, along with the Deols are working towards fine-tuning the script, and also other elements of pre-production,” a source close to the development told a publication.

Apne 2 was earlier scheduled to lock horns with two much-awaited films – Prithviraj and Jersey – during the Diwali weekend, which is always populated by several other wide releases. But now, it will be just a two-way face-off between Prithviraj and Jersey.

Akshay Kumar’s Prithviraj is a big-ticket period drama directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi. The film launches Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar in Bollywood. On the other hand, Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey is a remake of Telugu hit Jersey (2019). The sports-drama, directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri, stars Mrunal Thakur as the female lead.

Kanye West apologises to Jay-Z, then crosses the line with explicit comment about Beyoncé

Kanye West’s relationship with social media has long been chaotic, but his recent posts aimed at Jay-Z and Beyoncé have taken things to another level. What began as an apology quickly spiralled into yet another controversy, one that once again raised eyebrows and tested the limits of public patience.

On Thursday, West tweeted a direct apology to Jay-Z, writing, “I’m sorry Jay Z.” He followed it with a message that hinted at deeper frustration. “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry… but when I needed family… none of these rap n—– had my back.” While some saw this as a step toward reconciliation, the moment didn’t last.

Eric Dane to film 'Euphoria' just 4 days after revealing ALS diagnosis

Just four days after going public with his ALS diagnosis, Eric Dane is heading back to work. The 52-year-old actor, best known for his roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria, will resume filming Season 3 of the hit HBO series on Monday, reprising his role as the troubled Cal Jacobs. His decision to return so soon after revealing he has ALS, a progressive condition that affects nerve cells and gradually impacts muscle control, is both surprising and deeply personal.

In a statement released this week, Dane said, “I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working,” expressing his readiness to return to the Euphoria set. He also asked for privacy as he and his family process the diagnosis.

Shannon K becomes first indie Indian-origin artist to perform at Coachella 2025

Shannon K is stepping into the global spotlight this April as she prepares to perform at Coachella 2025. The Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, who also happens to be the daughter of Bollywood legend Kumar Sanu, is about to make history. She will be the first independent Indian-origin artist representing India at the festival. It is a big leap not only for her career but also for indie musicians from the South Asian diaspora.

While names like Diljit Dosanjh and AP Dhillon have already taken Indian music to Coachella’s stage, Shannon brings something different. Her sound blends indie-pop with classic Bollywood influences, giving us a fusion that reflects both her upbringing and global exposure, adding a fresh layer of representation.

Taylor Swift sends Kanye West legal warning after vulgar outburst

Taylor Swift has officially responded to Kanye West’s latest online tirade not with a song, but through legal channels. The pop star has reportedly sent West a cease and desist notice following a series of sexually explicit and defamatory posts he made about her on X on April 10.

In the now-deleted tweets, West didn’t just go after Swift; he dragged in Justin Bieber and Harry Styles, making wild and offensive claims about their alleged involvement with the singer. Without a shred of proof, West claimed the trio had been sexually involved and said he was “mad” he hadn’t “slept with Taylor yet.” These remarks sparked immediate backlash, not only from Swift's fans but from the wider public and even some of West’s remaining supporters.

Akshay Kumar hits back at Jaya Bachchan’s ‘flop film’ remark: ‘Only a fool would criticise such films’

At a press event for his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2, Akshay Kumar was asked about recent remarks made by veteran actor and politician Jaya Bachchan, who criticised the title of his 2017 movie Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Jaya Bachchan had dismissed the film during a public interaction, saying she would never watch a movie with such a title. “Is that even a name for a film?” she asked the audience, adding that the film was a “flop” based on the crowd’s lukewarm response when asked if they had seen it.

Caught off guard, Akshay Kumar initially said he wasn’t aware of the comment but responded with a measured tone: “If she’s said something, maybe she’s right. If making Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was a mistake, then I’ll accept that.”
However, he also stood by the intention behind the film. “I’ve made movies like Pad Man, Airlift, Kesari, all with a purpose. I make these films with full honesty. They try to raise awareness, and I believe that counts,” he added. He stressed that films like Toilet and Pad Man are still used by the government to educate people in villages, showing their long-term impact.
