Sanjay Dutt starrer Torbaaz faces another delay

Superstar Sanjay Dutt, who made his comeback with Omung Kumar’s revenge drama Bhoomi (2017), has a number of exciting projects in his pocket. While the actor is busy shooting for many of his upcoming movies at the moment, there is one film which is facing delay again and again. We are talking about Torbaaz.

The film was completed in mid-2018 except for some patchwork. It was expected to roll into theatres by the year-end. However, it was postponed yet again and now the makers are looking at releasing it in March, 2019. Before its March release, a 10-day long schedule is in the pipeline to wrap up the patchwork.


A source close to the development reveals, “Probably, the patchwork will begin by the beginning of next year as the makers plan to release the film sometime in March, I guess. We have a ten days patchwork to be completed.”

Torbaaz stars Dutt in the role of an army officer. The movie also stars Nargis Fakhri, Rahul Dev and Rahul Mittra in key roles. It is helmed by director Girish Malik and produced by filmmaker Rahul Mittra.

Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt is presently busy wrapping up Dharma Productions’ multi-starrer Kalank. Also starring Madhuri Dixit, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Dhawan and Aditya Roy Kapur, the period drama is directed by Abhishek Verman.

Apart from Kalank, the actor will also be seen in Mahesh Bhatt’s Sadak 2, co-starring Pooja Bhatt, Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur. He may also return to play his iconic character of Munna Bhai in the next instalment of the franchise.

"Bollywood is stuck in the 1980s": Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor slams industry’s obsession with stars & big-budget flops

Bollywood has been grappling with an identity crisis, with many questioning whether the industry's golden era is over. A recent social media debate reignited the discussion, claiming that the industry is in decline due to the absence or sporadic appearances of major stars like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, actor and son of Anil Kapoor, responded with a sharp critique of Bollywood’s over-reliance on big-budget, star-driven films, arguing that it is time for a shift toward strong storytelling.

A user on X posted, "Bollywood is finished. Salman doesn’t want to act, Aamir has no films, Akshay has a dozen films but none that matter, SRK does a film every two years, and Ajay is playing it safe. Ranbir Kapoor seems like the only one carrying the industry forward."

Val Kilmer, Hollywood icon and 'Top Gun' star, dies at 65 after years of health struggles

Val Kilmer, the celebrated actor known for his roles in Top Gun, Batman Forever, and The Doors, has passed away at the age of 65. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed that he died of pneumonia on April 1 in Los Angeles.

Kilmer was a versatile performer who made his mark in Hollywood with a mix of blockbuster hits and critically acclaimed roles. Born in Los Angeles in 1959, Kilmer’s passion for acting led him to the prestigious Juilliard School, where he became one of its youngest-ever students. His career began with comedic roles in Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), but he soon transitioned to more intense characters, firming his reputation as a serious actor. His performances in Tombstone (1993) as Doc Holliday and Heat (1995) alongside Al Pacino and Robert De Niro further showcased his talent and range.

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.
