Saif Ali Khan’s character in his next revealed

We have earlier reported that Saif Ali Khan is teaming up with NH 10 fame filmmaker Navdeep Singh for a period film set against the backdrop of a famous war fought in North India. Today, we are going to tell you more about the character the Omkara actor plays in the movie. According to sources, Khan will be seen in the role of a vengeful Pathan in the film which is being financed by well-known filmmaker Anand L Rai under his home banner, Colour Yellow Productions.

When the news about the project had hit the headlines for the first time, it was rumoured to be titled Battle of Buxar. After that, it was reported that the film will be called Dussehra, followed by Kaptaan. However, if a close source is to be believed, the project is still untitled. “The project lost out on two titles, Soorma and, more recently, Hunter, since both are registered by other productions already,” reveals the source.


After finishing the first schedule recently, Saif is currently in Devgarh, Maharashtra, to kick off the second schedule. As per the source, the second schedule involves a lot of action sequences for which Khan has trained himself in sword-fighting and knives play. “Saif began training in sword-fighting and knives play last month. The unit will be shooting in the sanctuary and hills of Kali Ghati, where there are many bridges and tunnels constructed by the British. Kunjbihari Mandir, famous for the many bats that live inside the roof of the structure, is in the heart of the town,” the source says.

Besides Saif Ali Khan, the yet-to-be-titled film also stars Zoya Hussain, Manav Vij and Deepak Dobriyal in significant roles.

L2: Empuraan - A film that shattered records and sparked a political storm

Few films manage to be both a record-breaking success and a lightning rod for controversy at the same time. But L2: Empuraan, the much-hyped sequel to Lucifer, has done exactly that. The Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial, starring Mohanlal, has not only rewritten and shattered box office history but also sparked a nationwide debate on censorship, political narratives, and artistic freedom.

On one hand, it’s the fastest Malayalam film to gross £5.1 million (₹50 crore) in Kerala, the first Malayalam film to cross £10.2 million (₹100 crore) overseas, and a £20.4 million (₹200 crore) club entrant within just five days. On the other hand, it has been accused of pushing a political agenda, leading to 2m 8s, 24 last-minute cuts, a legal battle, and a full-blown culture war.

Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan & more: Sam Mendes’ Beatles Biopics' cast revealed for the epic four-film event in 2028

Hollywood is about to take us on a journey like never before through the lives of ‘The Beatles,’ one member at a time! Director Sam Mendes, known for films like 1917 and Skyfall, has revealed the actors who’ll step into the shoes of John, Paul, George, and Ringo in four separate biopics, all hitting theatres in April 2028.

Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, Paul Mescal takes on Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan becomes Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn transforms into George Harrison. The announcement came at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where Mendes and the cast surprised the crowd. Instead of cramming the band’s epic story into one movie or stretching it into a series, Mendes chose a different approach: four interconnected films, each diving deep into a different Beatle’s life.
