1. Pralay touted as Ranveer Singh’s career’s most expensive film
After the historic success of Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh is ready for his next, which is being touted as the most ambitious film of his career. Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that the actor is excited for Pralay, a high-concept zombie drama set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, to be directed by Jai Mehta. Being made on Rs 300 crore budget, approx, the film marks the most expensive standalone project of Ranveer’s career.

2. Celebs come forward to help Rajpal Yadav
Sonu Sood stepped forward to extend support and help Rajpal Yadav get back on his feet. Taking to X, Sood announced that Rajpal Yadav would be part of his upcoming film and appealed to the film fraternity to rally behind the actor. In his post, Sood wrote, “Rajpal Yadav is a gifted actor who has given years of unforgettable work to our industry. Sometimes life turns unfair, not because of talent, but because timing can be brutal. He will be part of my film, and I believe this is the moment for all of us…producers, directors, colleagues to stand together. A small signing amount, adjustable against future work, is not charity, it’s dignity. When one of our own is going through a tough phase, the industry must remind him he’s not alone. This is how we show we are more than just an industry”.
Joining the chorus of support, actor Gurmeet Choudhary also voiced his concern and pledged help. He tweeted, “It breaks my heart to see a senior, immensely talented artist like Rajpal Yadav ji going through such a painful phase. He has given us countless smiles, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Today, he needs us. As a fellow actor and as a human being, I am stepping forward to help in whatever way I can. I humbly request all producers, directors, and members of our film fraternity let’s come together, with compassion and humanity, and find a solution. Our industry is a family. And family does not abandon its own.”

Chiranjeevi shared the first look from the naming ceremony of Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela’s newborn twins, expressing his happiness. He wrote on X, “With boundless joy and divine grace, we are delighted to announce the beautiful names of our two little blessings.” The Godfather star further spoke about the origins of the two kids’ names, going on to write how Shiva Ram is a ‘profound confluence of two eternal ideals,’ with “Shiva” being inspired by Shiva Shankara Vara Prasad and “Ram” from Ram Charan. The boy’s name ‘signifies the harmony between inner power and responsible action.’
Meanwhile, he called the girl child, Anveera Devi’s name, ‘a rare and powerful expression of the Divine Feminine.’ Here, Anveera is inspired by the blessings of Kanaka Durga Devi, and reflects ‘grace, courage and unwavering strength.’
