Marco sequel in the works? Makers register Lord Marco as title without Unni Mukundan

Unni Mukundan’s Marco was a huge success at the box office when it released in 2024. The actor has since shared that he will not be part of the sequel.

Marco, released in 2024, became a huge box office hit and earned ₹100 crore worldwide. Starring Unni Mukundan in the lead, the film stirred controversy for its violence. Many touted it as India’s most violent film ever, and there were reports of viewers throwing up in theatres due to the gore.

Unni Mukundan had earlier said there will be no sequel to Marco.

Marco sequel registered

On Wednesday, trade analyst AB George shared a picture on X (formerly Twitter), which revealed that a sequel to Marco is in the works. The picture was that of the official papers where the makers- Cubes Entertainment, registered the name of the sequel of the film as ‘Lord Marco.’

The name of Haneef Adeni was also seen in the official paper but there was no mention of lead star Unni Mukundan. There has been no official announcement regarding the same.

That might come as no surprise to fans as Unni had previously shared that he won’t be interested in doing a sequel. In June, Unni had shared a video showing his weight loss transformation. In the comments section, a fan asked him about Marco 2, to which he replied, “Bro, apologies but I have dropped plans to continue the Marco series. Too much negativity around the project. I’ll try my best to bring something bigger and better than Marco. Thanks for all the love and positivity. Cheers.”

Directed by Haneef Adeni and produced by Shareef Muhammed under his Cubes Entertainments banner, Marco was a revenge saga that also starred Siddique, Jagadish, Abhimanyu S Thilakan, and Kabir Duhan Singh.

Unni’s next project

Interestingly, on Wednesday, it was also announced that Unni would play the lead role in Maa Vande, a biopic tracing PM Modi’s life journey. Sharing the announcement about starring in Modi’s biopic, Unni wrote on his X account, “A man’s story that rises beyond battles… to become a revolution for the ages. #MaaVande it is. Wishing the Honourable Prime Minister @Narendramodi Ji a very Happy Birthday. May glory be revived and brighter things await.”

written by jummy84

Scale, genre and budget — these are the three elements that strike us when we talk about Allu Arjun’s upcoming film with director Atlee. Ever since the film was announced in April, the project garnered global appeal for the kind of VFX that’s being integrated into the narrative. In fact, top studios in the West have already spoken high about the content… making the film one of the most anticipated ones. While the team of AA22XA6 (working title) recently wrapped up its Mumbai schedule, here’s an interesting scoop about the project. Streaming giant Netflix has reportedly expressed willingness to acquire the digital rights of the film.

Netflix to buy digital rights to Allu Arjun’s film?

There’s so much being written about Allu Arjun’s new film AA22XA6 under director Atlee. The anticipation grew so much that a team from Netflix flew down to Hyderabad recently. The team met Allu Arjun, Atlee, Allu Aravind (Allu Arjun’s father) and had a lengthy discussion about films, filmmaking and how Indian cinema has been shaping up. But their dialogue wouldn’t have been complete without the mention of AA22XA6. According to reports from Tollywood circles, the OTT streaming giant evinced interest to buy the digital rights of the Allu Arjun-starrer. Apparently, the team from the streaming giant has been holding discussions with several top names from the South Indian film industry. And when the team met the unit of AA22XA6, it sparked major speculation.

“Allu Arjun’s film unit has reportedly quoted a whopping for the OTT rights. The streaming giant too was game to shell out considering the film’s budget, genre and of course, Allu Arjun’s growing global appeal. While the official deal is yet to be completed, the discussions are still at preliminary stage. But after the picture of team posing with Allu Arjun and Atlee emerged on social media, fans predict that Netflix will seal the deal,” says a source in the know.

Shah Rukh Khan Wishes PM Narendra Modi Happy 75th Birthday

by jummy84 September 17, 2025
written by jummy84

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has sent a special birthday message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, admiring his energy and “inspiring journey.” The actor expressed his wishes with folded hands in a video, stating that Modi’s energy at age 75 “even beats young people like us.”

​Shah Rukh extended warm wishes to the Prime Minister on his birthday, praising his dedication and hard work. “Your journey from a small city to the global stage has been very inspiring,” Shah Rukh said. “Your discipline, hard work and dedication towards the country can be seen in this journey. I pray that you always stay healthy and happy.”

​The video’s timing remains uncertain; however, Shah Rukh did not wear a sling on his arm. The actor paused filming for his movie King in July after a shoulder injury required him to undergo minor surgery. He recently shared that he is taking physiotherapy sessions for his shoulder and had been spotted wearing a sling during public outings last month.

​Apart from Shah Rukh, several other celebrities, including Akshay Kumar, Vikrant Massey, Vicky Kaushal, and Kangana Ranaut, also wished the Prime Minister on his birthday.

​Shah Rukh’s Upcoming Projects

​Shah Rukh Khan, last seen in Dunki in 2023, is currently working on Siddharth Anand’s upcoming film King. The cast reportedly includes his daughter Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Saurabh Shukla, and Jaideep Ahlawat. During a recent #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), Shah Rukh confirmed that he will soon resume shooting.

​He will also make a special appearance in his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Bads of Bollywood, which premieres on Netflix on September 18.

When Juhi Chawla Revealed Shah Rukh Khan Once Came Dejected On Film Set — Here’s What Happened

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has a net worth of Rs 7300 crore, according to GQ India. He lives in a Rs 200 crore mansion today called ‘Mannat’ and owns an extensive car collection that features four-wheelers from brands like BMW, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Bugatti, and Range Rover. However, did you know there was a time when SRK’s car was taken away as he couldn’t pay its EMI? Those were Shah Rukh’s initial days in the Hindi film industry.

One of his closest co-stars and a business friend, actor Juhi Chawla, made this revelation. She had seen SRK very closely and had known him since the day he didn’t have his house when he used to eat food on the film unit’s set.

While speaking at an event once, Juhi revealed how Shah Rukh once came dejected on the film set after his car was taken away as he couldn’t afford to pay its installment.

Juhi Chawla Recalls Shah Rukh Khan’s Early Struggles When His Car Was Taken Away

“He had no home in Mumbai, as he came from Delhi. Nobody cooked for him, so he used to eat at the unit. Unit ka khana khaate they..unit ki chai peete they. He had one car. It was a black gypsy. He used to do 2-3 shifts as he used to work around the clock. He was very driven. For some reason, he could not pay for his car; maybe he couldn’t pay his EMI. I don’t think something happened, and his car got taken away. That day, he came very dejected to his set, and I said, ‘Don’t worry, you will have many cars. They will come, you see,’ I told him. This is nothing.’ And look at him, where he has gone. Where he has reached today,” Juhi said.

Shah Rukh has worked in several movies with Juhi, such as Darr, Yes Boss, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Duplicate, Ram Jaane, and Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.

Shah Rukh Khan’s On Work Front

The 59-year-old actor came to Mumbai from Delhi in 1991. He initially started with the television serial Fauji and, in 1992, landed a role in the film Deewana. Shah Rukh’s entry became a rage, which was the beginning of the era of SRK.

In his three-decade career, he has done more than 100 films, winning 14 Filmfare awards for the role of Best Actor. In 2023, he gave back-to-back three blockbusters: Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. His next release, King, is expected to hit the theaters in October 2025.

EXCLUSIVE: Nagma Mirajkar SLAMS Baseer Ali For Accusing Boyfriend Awez Darbar Of Cheating

by jummy84 September 17, 2025
written by jummy84

Bigg Boss 19 saw its first official couple of the season, Nagma Mirajkar and Awez Darbar. However, the couple faced two contestants who accused Darbar of texting multiple women and sliding into their DMs. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, Nagma Mirajkar responded to these personal attacks by Baseer Ali and Amaal Mallik. She revealed she will ask Amaal for Rs 20 Lakhs whenever they meet next. Scroll down to read more and watch the full interview.

Nagma Mirajkar On Baseer Ali’s Personal Attacks

When asked about her response to Baseer Ali’s statements on her personal life, Nagma Mirajkar said, “Usse toh main muh pe bhi bol diya tha uss time pe, jagde ke time. Aur mera wahi concern tha ki tum game khelo na, game ke hisaab se khelo. It’s not ki tum kisi ke personal life pe jao ya bahar ki baatein kyun nikaalo. Tumhare paas agar kuch nahi hai bolne ke liye game related, toh aap bahar ki baatein bologe. Toh wo ek bahut hi bad move tha Baseer ki taraf se. He could have played it in a better way, I think. Wahi jagde ke baare mein kuch hota toh theek tha, usse sportingly le bhi sakte the. But yeh mujhe bilkul sahi nahi laga.“

Nagma Wants Amaal To Give Her 20 Lakhs

Speaking of what she will speak to when she meets Amaal Mallik after those personal attacks, Nagma laughs. She replied, “Main bolungi bhai, matlab bahar aa ja, tujhe chal mujhe 20 lakh rupay chahiye! (laughs) No, just kidding. I will ask him, ‘Yaar, problem kya thi? Kya bigaada tha humne? Itne achhe se toh the.’ But I think achhai sabko hazam nahi hoti.”

Baseer Ali-Nagma Mirajkar Arguments

The arguments involving Baseer Ali and Nagma Mirajkar were Baseer’s accusations against Nagma’s boyfriend, Awez Darbar, during Bigg Boss 19. Baseer’s claims led to significant conflict inside and outside the house. During the clash, Baseer accused Awez Darbar of being unfaithful to Nagma Mirajkar, who is also a contestant on the show.

Another contestant, Amaal Mallik, supported Baseer’s claims, alleging that Awez “often messages random girls” and “slides into someone’s DMs every single day” despite being in a long-term relationship with Nagma.Baseer escalated the situation by threatening to expose more personal secrets about Awez if provoked.

Nagma publicly stood by Awez, stating that their relationship is solid and they are committed to getting married in the first half of 2026. She dismissed the cheating rumours, explaining that her focus was on supporting Awez and their future together, not on “unnecessary” news.

Nagma Mirajkar and Natalie Janoszek were eliminated together in the first Weekend Ka Vaar on Bigg Boss 19.

Saiyaara is the no 1 non English film on Netflix globally, beats Fall For Me; Ahaan, Aneet thank fans for all the love

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer Saiyaara has become the most-watched non-English film on Netflix globally within five days of its streaming release.

In its debut week on streaming, Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara has scripted history by becoming the most-watched non-English film on the platform globally. The romantic drama has beaten German erotic thriller Fall For Me and Netflix’s Hindi original, Inspector Zende, in the race.

Saiyaara tops Netflix’s global charts

As per Tudum, Netflix’s databank of best-performing titles, Saiyaara is trending at number 1 in the list of non-English films worldwide, with 3.7 million views and 9.3 million hours viewed. Fall For Me is in the second spot with 6.5 million hours viewed, while Inspector Zende, starring Manoj Bajpayee, rounds up the top 3 with 6.2 million hours viewed. The only other Indian film in the top 10 is Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom, which sits in the 9th spot with 2.5 million hours viewed.

Saiyaara is currently the number 1 non-English film on Netflix globally.

On Wednesday afternoon, Netflix India shared a video message from the film’s leads – Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda – reacting to the film’s performance on streaming. “For giving Saiyaara all the love in the world, we love you forever and ever and ever. Saiyaara is trending globally on Netflix, only because of you. Thank you for watching and rewatching, and rewatching,” the actors said in the message.

Saiyaara’s successful run

Saiyaara released on Netflix last Friday, and has climbed to the global number 1 position in just five days. Given its box office performance and craze among the passes, the film was expected to do well upon its streaming release, but it would be safe to say, the film has surpassed expectations. None of the recent big-budget Indian films have managed to enter the global top 3 of Netflix, let alone top it.

Saiyaara is a love story of a temperamental singer (played by Ahaan) and a songwriter (Aneet). Their love is tested by her early-onset Alzheimer’s. The film, a musical drama, saw director Mohit Suri return to the romantic genre after over a decade, and to great returns. Saiyaara has grossed ₹577 crore worldwide, becoming not just the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, but also the highest-grossing romantic film in the history of Indian cinema. It has also catapulted its two leads to overnight stardom, particularly among the younger audiences.

Malaika Arora Talks About Being Judged for Her Career, Clothes and Relationships

by jummy84 September 17, 2025
written by jummy84

Malaika Arora has often been on the receiving end of judgment, and recently, the actress opened up about it in a heartfelt interview. The actress was previously married to Arbaaz Khan and was dating Arjun Kapoor after their divorce. However, Arjun and Malaika broke up last year.

Opening up on the judgment, she told Hindustan Times, “It was tough because people love to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be. I was judged for my career, my clothes, my relationships – you name it. But the day I stopped explaining myself was the day I felt free. My biggest takeaway. The only narrative that matters is the one you write for yourself.”

Malaika further stated that she has been called too bold and outspoken, but she wears it like a crown now. The actress continued, “I’ve been called too bold, too outspoken, too everything. And honestly, I wear it like a crown now. If I am too much for someone, they are probably not enough for me. Whether in fashion, fitness or just film choices I’ve made, I’ve never followed a formula. I’ve always believed that real confidence comes when you stop performing for the world and start living for yourself.”

Malaika Arora

She then revealed that there are days when she questions herself, but she has learnt to meet those moments with kindness rather than criticism. Meanwhile, on the work front, Malaika Arora is set to make a special appearance in a song in Thama. The Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna starrer will be releasing in October this year. She was previously seen in the song Majha Yek Number from the Marathi film Yek Number. She is also known for her dance numbers Chaiyya Chaiyya with Shah Rukh Khan, Gur Naalo Ishq Mitha, Kaal Dhamaal and Munni Badnaam Hui.

This star kid was fired from debut film, replaced by Rani Mukerji; left with no money to pay rent

written by jummy84

Breaking into Bollywood has never been easy, and many actors have often spoken about losing roles to star kids with powerful connections. But one of the star kids had the opposite experience. Soha Ali Khan, despite coming from a film family, once left her corporate job to pursue her debut film, only to be replaced before she could even begin shooting, after Shah Rukh Khan came on board as the lead.

This Bollywood actor was fired and replaced from her debut film.

Soha Ali Khan left her job for debut film

Soha recalled how she was replaced by Rani Mukerji in her first film and told Mashable India, “It was my first film. I quit Citibank. I had to pay ₹17,000 as my rent. I was earning a good salary. And my plan was to leave for London. I was thinking that I would get a work permit there, and I would eventually settle there. Then Amol Palekar came to me, and he spoke to me about the script. I had been offered some films because of my brother (Saif Ali Khan) and my mother (Sharmila Tagore).”

She revealed that she had an interest in acting and getting that first pay cheque, but she underestimated what it took to become a film actor. She admitted that she didn’t understand the skill set needed to act in films at that time. She further shared that Amol Palekar was a “credible and renowned filmmaker” and as she liked the subject she was presented, she immediately agreed to the project. However, Amol asked Soha to quit her job so that she could give a couple of months to the film.

The actor recalled that Amol was planning to launch a male actor in the film with her, and they had both started reading the script. However, she hadn’t signed any contract. Despite this, Soha revealed that she quit her job because she was unaware that until you have been signed or started shooting for the film, it’s not 100 per cent certain that you would be in it.

Soha Ali Khan was fired from Paheli

She recalled being fired from the film and said, “Amol ji called me and said, ‘Shah Rukh Khan is playing the role. I said, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ He said, ‘No, you don’t understand. That means you are not playing this role. Somebody else will be playing this.’ I was like, ‘Ouch’. Then I was like, ‘What do I do now? How do I pay my rent?” Eventually, her role was played by Rani Mukerji. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews and was a moderate success at the box office.

Soha then went on to sign a Bengali film, Iti Srikanta, directed by Anjan Das and featuring Adil Hussain and Reema Sen. The film released in 2004, even before Paheli (2005). Soha eventually made her Bollywood debut alongside Shahid Kapoor, Ayesha Takia and Tulip Joshi in Dil Maange More!!!. However, the film was a box-office failure. Soha gained recognition with her role in Rang De Basanti. Some of her other memorable films include Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster and Ghayal: Once Again among others. She was most recently seen in the movie Chhorii 2. Helmed by Vishal Furia, the horror film received mixed reviews and is available to watch on Prime Video.
