On a skiing trip, Rohan (Junaid Khan) is seen making a wish before the bell while looking at Sai Pallavi’s character, Meera, wishing that she could be his, even if for a single day. His dream appears to come true as we see the two characters draw close, forging a bond that will alter the course of their lives. The trailer is cut to Arijit Singh's gently dreamy title track, which was recorded in the singer's hometown and recently released online. 

Scheduled to release theatrically on May 1,

In a move to bridge the gap between Indian independent cinema and the global stage, Women in Film India (WIF India) has launched a nationwide search for two emerging women producers to represent the country at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

Founded by Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga Kapoor, the non-profit is offering a comprehensive scholarship that includes participation in the impACT Lab and the prestigious Producers Network during the Cannes Marché du Film this May.

The initiative is a natural extension of WIF India’s mission. While the organization made its debut at Cannes in 2025, this year marks the first time the opportunity has been opened to a public, nationwide call for applications, specifically targeting producers who are ready to scale their careers internationally.

The scholarship is a rigorous professional development track. The two selected producers will undergo a hybrid mentorship program, starting with virtual workshops in April before heading to Cannes from May 13–18, 2026.

Once on the ground, the producers will be integrated into the Producers Network, giving them direct access to industry breakfasts and private sessions with global decision-makers. "International festivals have been transformative spaces in my own journey," said Guneet Monga Kapoor. "This scholarship is about ensuring that more women get the chance to bring their stories, their voices, and their projects into those rooms."

The call is specifically looking for India-based women producers who have a proven track record in short films but are now looking to break through with their first feature-length project. 

Applicants must have made at least two short films and be in the process of developing their first feature-length project. To be considered, applicants must submit a comprehensive pitch deck that outlines their vision, including a director and producer’s note, a detailed treatment and budget, and viewing links to their previous work.

Alexandra Zakharchenko, Head of Industry Programs at the Marché du Film, noted that the partnership aims to foster a "new generation of like-minded producers" who are committed to sustainable production practices and impact-driven storytelling.

With the festival fast approaching, the window for applications is tight. Interested producers have until March 17, 2026, to submit their portfolios.

According to Rabia Chopra, WIF India’s head of programming, the goal is to dismantle the barriers that often keep Indian women from the international co-production ecosystem. "We’re helping create visibility and opening doors for stories that deserve a global stage," Chopra said.

After months of legal back-and-forth, actor-producer Ravi Mohan has officially decided to part ways with the title of his upcoming film, 

. The decision comes as part of a settlement with IndoSpirit Beverages Pvt. Ltd., the company behind the popular alcoholic drink of the same name.

The dispute, which had the film stuck in legal limbo for some time, was finally ironed out through a mediation process under the Delhi High Court. According to the terms of the agreement, Ravi Mohan’s studio will scrub the "Bro Code" name from the movie itself, as well as all existing posters, teasers, and social media content.

The trouble started late last year when the Delhi High Court issued an injunction stopping the filmmakers from using the title, arguing it was a direct hit on IndoSpirit’s registered trademark. Interestingly, the case had a bit of a jurisdiction hop—Mohan had initially secured a win in the Madras High Court to keep the name, but he has now withdrawn those proceedings as part of the global settlement.

The actor hasn't been silent about the friction, either. Earlier in the dispute, Mohan’s team alleged that the whole mess started because he turned down a product placement deal. According to his camp, the beverage company wanted their drink featured in the film, but Mohan refused, reportedly telling them it would "set a wrong example" for his audience. He also suggested at the time that the lawsuit was a "publicity stunt" to help the brand break into the Tamil Nadu market.

Directed by Karthik Yogi, the now-untitled film stars S. J. Suryah, Arjun Ashokan and Shraddha Srinath alongside Ravi Mohan. The cast also includes Sri Gouri Priya, Malavika Manoj, Upendra Limaye and Aishwarya Raj. Despite legal battles, production is reported to be on track.

The film is expected to release theatrically next year. The makers are yet to announce a new title.

'Bro Code': Ravi Mohan Drops Title After Dispute Over Trademark With Beverage Company

Tamil actor Ajith Kumar finally returned to Chennai on Tuesday, March 10, after being stranded in Dubai for several days due to the crisis in West Asia. The actor was in Dubai when rising tensions linked to the Israel-US-Iran conflict led to widespread airline restrictions. Ajith reportedly was unable to depart after reaching the airport in Dubai, where his scheduled flight was cancelled. His manager had earlier confirmed that he was safe and staying in Dubai until commercial services resumed. The actor has a luxurious home in Dubai.

Ajith Kumar was among several Indian celebrities affected by the travel disruptions in West Asia. Actors including Sonal Chauhan, Nargis Fakhri, Esha Gupta and Lara Dutta were also in the UAE during the period of flight suspensions, with some sharing updates on social media to reassure fans about their safety.

At a moment when India’s wellness conversation is shifting from indulgent escapes to intentional living, Fairmont Mumbai is introducing a new chapter with the launch of Fairmont Spa & Longevity — a destination that places longevity at the heart of self-care. Anchoring this evolution is Blu Xone, India’s first luxury-integrated longevity hub, where science-led therapies meet the refinement of a world-class hotel experience.

Blu Xone isn’t a spa add-on or a trend-driven wellness experiment. It is a carefully designed ecosystem rooted in the emerging global philosophy of health-span optimisation — the idea that living longer matters less than living better, stronger and more energetically.

Inspired by the world’s Blue Zones — regions known for exceptional longevity due to lifestyle, diet, movement and community — Blu Xone reinterprets these principles through the lens of modern life. Instead of rustic simplicity, it offers precision wellness, delivered through advanced, non-invasive therapies that support cellular repair, metabolic balance and recovery.

“Longevity is no longer a concept reserved for the future — it’s a lifestyle for today,” says Dr. Rashmi Ambastha, Director – Spa, Wellness & Recreation, Fairmont Mumbai. “With Blu Xone, we’re not offering treatments. We’re offering a new relationship with your own biology.”

Each guest’s journey begins with an understanding of their unique physiological blueprint. Guided by medical wellness practitioners, programmes are built around biomarker-driven personalisation, ensuring that every intervention is purposeful, measurable, and aligned with individual goals — from improved energy and recovery to enhanced skin health and cognitive resilience.

Blu Xone’s suite of therapies reflects the most sought-after longevity practices globally, all delivered in a refined, hotel-integrated setting: Cryotherapy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and stimulate cellular regeneration, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, delivering oxygen under pressure to accelerate healing and revitalise skin. Red-Light Therapy uses low-level wavelengths to stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone, while Intermittent Vacuum Therapy (IVT) enhances circulation, deep oxygenation and gentle detoxification. Lastly, Intermittent Hypoxic Therapy (IHT) is a simulated altitude experience that trains the body to use oxygen more efficiently, boosting endurance and metabolic performance.

What sets Blu Xone apart is not just the technology, but the intention behind it. This is longevity without extremism — suited for all, whether for global travellers recovering from long-haul flights or city professionals seeking sustained performance.

Blu Xone exists within the larger philosophy of Fairmont Spa & Longevity, a space that balances futuristic wellness science with ancient healing wisdom. While Blu Xone focuses on precision and performance, the Fairmont Spa offers ritual-driven therapies rooted in Indian, Eastern and more global traditions.

Design plays a subtle yet important role. Inspired by Mumbai’s monsoon — the spa features ripple-patterned ceilings, raindrop-inspired art and water-infused motifs that encourage a sense of flow. Nestled within the hotel’s Art Deco grandeur, the space feels both grounding and forward-looking at the same time.

The longevity philosophy extends beyond the spa walls. Fairmont Fit, a next-generation fitness studio powered by Technogym, offers AI-assisted training, breathwork sessions and recovery-focused programming. At the same time, a dedicated Health Bar serves cold-pressed tonics designed to complement wellness goals, reinforcing the idea that movement and nourishment are daily rituals, not occasional commitments.

For those seeking sustained access, Fairmont Mumbai has also introduced a limited number of Annual Wellness Memberships, offering entry into Blu Xone therapies, spa facilities and fitness spaces — crafted for individuals and couples who see well-being as a way of life.

With Blu Xone, Fairmont Mumbai challenges the traditional perception of wellness as indulgence. It marks a significant moment in India’s luxury wellness landscape— where science, sophistication and self-awareness meet.

Blu Xone is operational from 8:00AM to 12:00AM and the Fairmont Spa is operational till 2:00AM.

A media report, citing an unnamed source, stated that Padda had already been finalised for the project and that filming was expected to begin soon, with additional casting details to be announced later.

Tips Films has just announced a new release date for its upcoming romantic film 

. The film is now set to arrive in cinemas worldwide on June 12, 2026, which is a week later than its previously announced release date of June 5.

Directed by David Dhawan, the film stars Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur. Positioned as a colourful rom-com, the film promises to deliver the David Dhawan's signature mix of humour, romance and high-energy storytelling.

The decision to postpone the release comes after Toxic locked June 5 as its release date.

Ramesh Taurani, Managing Director of Tips Films, 

said, “We would like to clarify that our film 

 was originally scheduled for release on June 5, a date we had announced several months ago. However, after recent developments and considering the prevailing situation, we felt it would be more appropriate to shift our release.”

He added that the decision was made in order to maintain a healthy environment in the entertainment industry. “We strongly believe that it is always healthier for the industry when filmmakers support one another rather than compete unnecessarily on the same date. In that spirit of solidarity, we have decided to move the release of 

 to June 12 and bring our film to audiences a week later,” Taurani said. A tentpole film like

Promotional activities, including the launch of the film’s soundtrack and trailer, will proceed as planned in the lead-up to the revised release date. Father-son duo David and Varun Dhawan last collaborated on

Actor and filmmaker R Parthiban has responded to the controversy around his comments about actor Trisha Krishnan at a recent award show, by releasing an almost eight-minute long video explaining the context behind his remarks and denying any intentional wrongdoing.

The controversy began after Parthiban made a remark on stage referencing Trisha’s character Kundhavai from 

. During his speech, he said that it might be “better to ask this Kundhavai to sit at home for a while”, a comment that quickly picked up steam online.

Trisha responded on social media: “A microphone doesn’t make a comment intelligent or humorous. It just makes stupidity louder.”

In his video, Parthiban clarified the difference between intention and accident. “There is a difference between a mistake and wrongdoing. A mistake is something done unknowingly. A wrongdoing is something done willingly. Similarly, there is a difference between an apology and expressing regret,” he said.

He maintained that the incident was unintentional and said the appearance of Trisha’s photo during his speech had caught him by surprise. According to Parthiban, he had been speaking about actors Vijay and Ajith Kumar when her image appeared on screen. “The claim that I specifically requested her photo to be displayed is 100 per cent wrong,” he said.

Parthiban also referred to online discourse regarding Trisha’s appearance alongside Vijay at a wedding reception, including remarks made in a video by YouTuber Anthanan from the channel Valaipechu. He said similar opinions were being discussed backstage before the event.

When the image appeared on screen, he said, the host referenced Kundhavai which prompted his off-the-cuff reaction. “I simply said, ‘Let Kundhavai sit at home so that problems don’t arise.’ I said it with anguish. That is all,” he explained.

The actor and filmmaker added that journalist Rangaraj Pandey had advised him after the speech that the remark could have been avoided altogether. Acting on that suggestion, Parthiban said he asked the event organisers to delete the segment from the video, but the clip had already circulated online by the next morning.

Additionally, he expressed regret about the broader controversy, while criticising Trisha’s response to the incident. Parthiban said he had recorded a video message around International Women’s Day to clarify the situation but learned only later that Trisha had already posted her reaction online. “I regretted the entire incident wholeheartedly,” he said, adding that the aftermath of the incident had far exceeded what he had expected or intended.

In the recently released trailer of Ken Karunaas’ 

we see the young actor, who has also directed the film, in quite a conundrum. As his mother yearns that he would study hard to become an IAS officer, we see Ken’s character Praveen declaring that he only has love in his mind. And then we see him fall in love with as many as three different girls throughout the length of the trailer. His father, played by Malayalam actor Suraj Venjaramoodu, is more realistic about the expectations he has from his son. Instead of building castles in the sky, he knows his son better and his “romantic” ways. The trailer features short romantic passages with each of the three heroines in the film, and it also shows Ken in full action mode. The trailer ends with the line, “written, directed and performed by Ken and Gang” on what looks like the blackboard of a classroom.

In promotional interviews, Ken had stated that he was inspired by the "cool and casual romantic" format of the Malayalam blockbuster 

. The songs of the film, composed by GV Prakash Kumar, have already become a huge success. The promo video showing Ken interacting with the composer to announce their collaboration was also a hit. The film will be released next week on March 19.

Ken Karunaas had previously played vital roles in films such as 

. Suraj Venjaramoodu and Devadarshini are playing the roles of his parents in this film. Suraj had played the antagonist in last year’s acclaimed action thriller 

, starring Vikram. Suraj will also be seen in 

. Suraj’s two previous releases in Malayalam, 

, were both successes. The heroines of the upcoming romance are Anishma Anilkumar, Meenakshi and Sri Devi. The film has been co-directed by two more people, Pradeep Devakumar and Joshua Williams.

Khan's idea was to disrupt the traditional theatrical-to-OTT window distribution model, where viewers access a film for free after the eight-week timeframe. The actor, instead, released the film as a TVOD (Transactional Video on Demand), where viewers could rent the film for ₹100 for 48 hours. 

Sony LIV, in a statement, said, "Nearly a year after its theatrical release in June 2025, Aamir Khan’s feel-good sports comedy-drama is set to stream on Sony LIV, bringing its uplifting and inspiring story to audiences at home."

The streamer also stated that the film's release marks a special milestone for Sony LIV, as

In yet another setback for Vijay’s final film, 

, the review committee’s screening of the revised version was reportedly postponed again yesterday, Monday, the 9 of March. The reason given for the postponement was the unavailability of a committee member due to illness. A member of the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) was expected to preside over the examination with a different set of advisory panel members. A new date for the screening has not yet been finalised. According to reports, production house KVN Productions received a notification regarding the postponement. The film was originally scheduled to be released on January 9.

In February, the production ended a month-long legal stalemate by withdrawing their petition before the Madras High Court challenging the Central Board of Film Certification’s (CBFC) decision to refer the film to a revising committee.  The withdrawal clears the way for the CBFC’s revising committee to examine the film and determine whether it will be granted an Adult (A), Unrestricted Public Exhibition (U), or Unrestricted Exhibition with Parental Guidance (U/A) certificate. On February 10, Justice PT Asha of the Madras High Court heard the case and permitted the withdrawal of the petition,

Sangeetha Sornalingam, Vijay’s wife of 27 years, has filed a petition seeking divorce on grounds of alleged infidelity, claiming that the actor was involved in an extramarital relationship with a female actor. She has reportedly been living separately from Vijay for the past two years.

“I’ve been working on this film for more than two years, but I assure you that the wait will be worth it,” he said. He also added that an update about the film’s release would be revealed soon, even though it might not hit screens on April 10. Jokingly, he also dismissed rumours of any arguments or fights he was having with the film’s producer, SR Prabhu, apologising again for the film’s delay. He was last seen as a commentator during the recently concluded T20 World Cup, which India co-hosted.

In his Pongal wishes for fans earlier this year, the actor-filmmaker said that the festival season would not bring any special update about his upcoming film
