 arrived late last year with the swagger of a maximalist statement: a bruising espionage saga that folded recent South Asian history into a fictionalised counter-terror narrative, all delivered at an almost obstinately operatic scale. 

Anchored by Ranveer Singh’s coiled, undercover intelligence operative—and flanked by a gallery of granite-faced veterans including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and R. Madhavan—the film moved restlessly between shadow economies and state power, staging its intrigue as a test of endurance as much as nerve. At well over three hours, it was an exercise in excess that audiences embraced; the film crossed ₹1,000 crore worldwide within weeks, cementing its place among Hindi cinema’s most lucrative spectacles. The music for the first instalment was released by Saregama, complementing music composer Shashwat Sachdev’s muscular score with a soundtrack designed for scale.

According to industry insiders, the sequel’s album is positioned as a major commercial play. “It’s a massive, chartbuster soundtrack and the response from the film team 

has been fabulous,” says one source familiar with the project. Another adds that, “The album will again have a wide variety of songs,” signalling continuity with the first film’s genre-spanning ambitions, even as the scale widens.

Narratively, the sequel is expected to pick up threads left deliberately frayed—escalating the covert conflict into a more overt reckoning, while retaining Dhar’s fondness for geopolitical bricolage. A teaser for

'With Love' Trailer: Abhisan Jeevinth, Anaswara Rajan Star in a Fun Rom-Com

A burning teddy bear can be many things. A metaphor for lost innocence. A signifier of unprocessed trauma. Evidence that the props department had a lot of time on its hands. But that it can also double up as a lighter is something we recently learned from Shahid Kapoor, who sets one on fire and uses it to light a cigarette in Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming 

Cigarette smoking has always been injurious to health. But lighting your cigarette with such swagger that it emotionally destroys everyone around you might be the more lethal move. There is a difference between nicotine damage and cinematic damage, and our films know this well.

Cinema has never been subtle about cigarettes. Sometimes they are psychological. Sometimes narrative. Sometimes metaphoric. And sometimes they are just there so a man can look “cool” or a woman can look “not like other girls”. We are deeply uninterested in all of that. We do not care what the cigarette 

 it is lit. Because let’s face it, once a cigarette is on, the options are limited. You can hold it delicately. You can grip it like it owes you money. You can smoke cross like Meryl Streep or hollow out your cheeks like Tabu. That’s about it. The real creative freedom lies in the moment before ignition.

So, in the interest of a slow news week and faster-burning objects, here are some of our favourite moments when cinema decided that a lighter was simply too boring.

Across world cinema, cigarettes often mark thresholds. Between life and death. Resolve and hesitation. Intimacy and violence. In 

, they also mark the moment a man decides to light up using a literal bomb. Hamza’s journey truly kicks off in the second part, and his zero-regard bravado is perfectly encapsulated when he uses a bomb to light his cigarette. It is objectively very funny to see the anti-smoking warning crawl across the screen while a man calmly holds an explosive device inches from his face. In that moment, the cigarette is the safest thing in the frame.

Rocky Bhai empties round after round into a police station, because restraint is not part of the aesthetic. Eventually, the barrel of the machine gun turns red-hot, smoking in quiet exhaustion. And that, friends, is when Rocky Bhai decides it is time for a cigarette.

Anyone who has tried lighting a cigarette off a suspiciously warm metal surface in an airport smoking room knows this is usually not glamorous. But Rocky Bhai does it with such confidence that you almost forget he has just put more metal into that building than the props department put into the set.

, Shah Rukh Khan’s older, angrier, deeply zaddy-coded avatar Vikram Rathore is involved in a bike chase. He skids in slow motion. His shoes scrape the road. Sparks fly. Those sparks light his cigar.

Shah Rukh Khan has made us believe far more improbable things, including his double role in 

. Compared to that, believing that friction sparks can light a cigar feels reasonable. If there is even a one-in-20,000 chance of this happening, it will happen to Shah Rukh Khan.

 has given us enough swagger moments to sustain Instagram reels till the end of time. In 

, Allu Arjun adds another entry to the canon. A passerby carrying a lantern accidentally sets Pushpa’s shoulder on fire. Pushpa, seeing an opportunity rather than a medical emergency, uses the flames to light a cigar. Because why waste a perfectly good shoulder fire. Fire safety is temporary. Swag is forever.

 trailer, Shahid Kapoor’s Ustara lights a teddy bear on fire using a lighter, then uses the flaming teddy bear to light his cigarette. He then casually tosses the still-burning toy aside, causing a larger fire behind him, and walks away.

There are easier ways to do this. There always are. One is tempted to recall 

, where Ranveer Singh’s Khilji pours perfume on a woman and rubs against her to scent himself. Politics and cruelty aside, there were simpler options. Similarly here, the teddy did not deserve this. RIP.

Technically, Katrina Kaif uses a matchstick. But she lights that match off her own sizzling body, as the lyrics proudly announce, “husn ki teeli se”. The literal interpretation of that line, combined with the visual commitment, makes this less a lighting technique and more a philosophical position.

Four people have been arrested in connection with the 

 firing case, where bullets were fired at the filmmaker's home in Juhu, Mumbai. According to 

, the initial probe has pointed at their links with Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Shubham Lonkar, an accused in the Baba Siddique murder case.

As per the news agency, the four were among the five persons detained earlier in Pune and were subsequently brought to Mumbai, where a court remanded them in police custody till February 5.

According to police officials, at least five rounds were fired at the first floor of the nine-storey building in the Juhu area at around 12:45 AM on Sunday, with one bullet striking the glass of a gym located in the building

"Nobody was injured, and it was not known whether the filmmaker was at his residence in the Juhu area when the incident occurred in the wee hours. Hours after the firing, a threatening social media post surfaced claiming that Mr. Lonkar was behind the crime," the report quoted a police official.

Immediately after the firing, Juhu police and crime branch teams rushed to the spot to investigate the incident and examined CCTV footage from around the building to establish the sequence of events. 

While security outside the filmmaker's building was stepped up following the firing, a 

report claimed that it could also extend to his film sets. According to the report, a security team of about 60 will be put into place when 

As of now, it is unclear if the shoot schedule is unchanged, but if the film does go on floors after necessary clearance, a two-tier security ring will be implemented - the first comprising the local police, and the second consisting of Shetty's personal bodyguards. 

"More importantly, there will be an access-controlled zone in which Rohit will operate, and only a few will have access to it. Every person entering the set, including junior artistes, vendors, and daily-wage crew, will be pre-registered with ID verification; no spot entries will be allowed. Vehicle movement will also be regulated, with all equipment trucks and vanity vans logged in advance and checked at the entry point," the report quoted an insider.

Telugu star Ram Charan and his wife Upasana Kamineni welcomed twins, a boy and a girl, on February 1, in Hyderabad. The couple already share a daughter, Klin Kaara, born in 2023. 

“Happy to share that we have been blessed with a baby boy and girl. Having two daughters and a son fills us with immense gratitude. The women in our lives have been our greatest strength. I’m very thankful to all our fans, family, and well-wishers who have stood by us through every moment," the actor wrote on Instagram. 

Addressing the press at the hospital, Telugu screen icon Chiranjeevi, the father of Ram Charan, thanked fans for their wishes. "Thank you all for your warm wishes. I am taking this opportunity to share some joyful news from our home with our well-wishers, fans, and everyone who roots for us. We are incredibly happy. Both the Konidela and Kamineni families wish to express our shared joy through the media," he said. 

"Last night, Ram Charan and Upasana were blessed with twins. Both Upasana and the children are doing very well and are in good health. For a long time, many of you have prayed for this auspicious moment in our home. By the grace of God and Lord Hanuman, a baby girl and a baby boy have been born. Sharing this news brings us immense happiness. I would like to extend special thanks to Dr Sumana from Apollo Cradle in Chennai, who travelled here for the delivery. She also performed the delivery of Charan and Upasana’s first baby, Klin Kaara. My gratitude also goes to Rama Sinha, the head here, and Dr Lata, Apollo’s pediatric specialist. Heartfelt thanks to the entire staff and to all our fans, who are celebrating this like a festival.”

Disney’s 20th Century Studios has released a new trailer for 

, offering the first extended look at the long-awaited sequel to the 2006 fashion drama. The film reunites Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt as Andy Sachs and Emily Charlton, nearly 20 years after the original introduced audiences to the high-pressure world of Runway magazine.

The trailer opens with Andy and Emily encountering each other again, signalling both familiarity and distance. Emily, now firmly established in the luxury business, remarks on Andy’s transformation with a familiar mix of approval and cutting humour. The exchange sets the tone for a sequel interested in how time, ambition and power reshape old dynamics.

Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly, while Stanley Tucci reprises his role as Runway’s creative director Nigel. Brief glimpses place the characters at the Met Gala and inside Runway’s offices, now navigating a fashion industry transformed by digital disruption and declining print influence.

 ahead of the trailer’s release, the returning cast reflected on stepping back into their roles. Streep described the experience as unexpectedly emotional, while Blunt noted that resuming Emily’s sharp-edged persona felt instinctive. Both actors acknowledged the heightened public attention during filming in New York, where crowds gathered daily and footage circulated widely on social media.

The sequel positions its central conflict around the changing media economy. Miranda is forced to defend Runway’s relevance, while Emily, now leading a luxury brand, represents a different axis of power. Andy returns after years working as a journalist abroad, re-entering Runway with a more defined sense of self and a wardrobe shaped by thrift, menswear and experience rather than trends.

Director David Frankel returns to helm the film, with Aline Brosh McKenna once again writing the screenplay, adapted from characters created by Lauren Weisberger. The expanded cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet.

 is scheduled for theatrical release on May 1, 2026.
