BTS to Return in 2026 with New Album and World Tour: Report

by jummy84 October 27, 2025
written by jummy84

Big news for ARMY faithful: BTS are reportedly prepping for quite the return. As reported by Bloomberg, the K-pop superstars are gearing up to drop a brand new album and embark on a massive world tour in 2026.

BTS have been on hiatus as a group since mid-2022, when the members each began fulfilling their mandatory military service in South Korea. While solo projects have kept fans tied over, K-pop stans have eagerly awaited the return of BTS proper. Now, that return seems closer than ever.

While the act and their label Big Hit Music have yet to make any official announcement, sources have confirmed to Bloomberg that BTS have spent the past few months working on a new album and preparing for their comeback tour.

The album would mark the group’s first new record since 2020’s Be and is reportedly set for a March 2026 release date. As for the accompanying tour, the run would mark BTS’ first proper tour since 2019 and boast around 65 dates across the globe, including more than 30 shows in North America.

Notably, Big Hit Music lightly disputed some of the figures of the report. “Details regarding the dates and scale of BTS’ new world tour remain unconfirmed,” the label told Bloomberg in a statement. “The dates you mentioned are not the latest number we are discussing.”

‘BTS Movie Weeks’ Crosses $10M At Global Box Office Ahead Of Boyband’s Comeback

by jummy84 October 24, 2025
written by jummy84

BTS Movie Weeks, a collection of four concert films from Korea’s history-making boyband, BTS, has grossed over $10M at the global box office, according to HYBE and Trafalgar Releasing.

The concert films were released in over 80 territories, across 2,700 cinemas, and premiered globally from September 24 to October 5.

There are screenings still ongoing this month and into November, across South Korea, Vietnam and Japan.

BTS confirmed in July that a full-length album will be released in spring next year, alongside a world tour, marking the group’s long-awaited return. In 2022, the group went on hiatus, as members Jin, Suga, J-hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook enlisted for Korea‘s mandatory military service and pursued solo activities.

BTS Movie Weeks was distributed worldwide by Trafalgar Releasing, excluding South Korea and Japan, where the title was released by Megabox and Avex, respectively.

Accompanying the film screenings around the world, cinema foyers carried installations and themed message walls, and also offered dancefloors and gathering spaces for BTS fans to come together.

Four concert films were screened: BTS’ 2016 performance “On Stage : Epilogue,” 2017’s “Live Trilogy Episode III: The Wings Tour —The Final,” 2019 world tour “Love Yourself: Speak Yourself — London” and 2021’s “Muster Sowoozoo.”

BTS Movie Weeks marks the third collaboration between HYBE and Trafalgar Releasing with added fan and exhibitor activations. Previous partnerships include the “HYBE Cine Fest In LATAM” in 2024 and “HYBE Cine Fest In Asia” in 2025.

“We’re truly excited by the response to BTS Movie Weeks” said Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing. “It’s a testament to the enduring power of BTS and the anticipation for their return, while also showcasing innovative new ways to create global event cinema experiences.”

‘Deepika-Diana from Tumhi Ho Bandhu’: Rashmika Mandanna grooves, Kriti Sanon turns her flirt on in Cocktail 2 BTS clip

by jummy84 October 17, 2025
written by jummy84

National crush Rashmika Mandanna has been in the news all month because of her engagement to fiance Vijay Deverakonda. While the couple have not shared an announcement yet, they have flaunted their rings while Vijay’s team confirmed the news. But apart from her impending nuptials, Rashmika is also busy gearing up for two exciting Bollywood films — Thamma with Ayushmann Khurrana and Cocktail 2 with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. Well, much to the delight of fans, a fun behind the scenes video of Rashmika and Kriti partying by the sea has now surfaced on the internet, where the girls are vibing and how.

Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna

First off, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon look too hot to handle in this viral clip, which has taken the social media by storm. Shot in what looks like Sicily, Italy the scene is that of a party by the ocean. As the camera zooms in, we witness Rashmika dressed in a carrot red mini skirt, a plunging crop top and a matching overshirt, dancing like there’s no tomorrow as her wavy hair flew in the air. Meanwhile, Kriti looks smoking hot in a sultry cut-out dress with her beachy waves over her shoulder. As Rashmika loses herself to the music, Kriti gets her flirt on with a co-star.

Well, this viral behind the scenes video has reminded several fans of Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty’s chartbuster hit song Tumhi Ho Bandhu from Homi Adajania’s Cocktail, which is Cocktail 2’s spiritual predecessor. Under the viral Reddit thread, a social media user wrote, “Tum hi ho bandhu 2.0,” whereas a comment read, “Its giving Deepika & Diana’s character vibes from “tum hi bandhu”.” Meanwhile, a deeply impressed fan shared, “I think the song is going to be a banger. Kriti is looking good. Also is that Rashmika in orange? She’s looking hot.”

Has this viral video starring Kriti and Rashmika left you excited for Cocktail 2?

On October 16, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai celebrated its 27th anniversary, marking over two decades since the iconic Bollywood film first captured audiences’ hearts. To commemorate the milestone, director Karan Johar shared exclusive behind-the-scenes photos on social media, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji. The images offered fans a rare glimpse into the making of the beloved movie, evoking nostalgia and fond memories. Johar reflected on the film’s enduring legacy, its memorable performances, and the timeless story of love and friendship. The celebration highlighted the lasting impact of this cinematic classic on generations of viewers worldwide.

The film featured a stellar cast, including Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji, whose performances contributed to its enduring legacy. On Thursday, director Karan Johar shared a special glimpse behind the scenes, posting exclusive images from the film’s production. The photos captured memorable moments with Shah Rukh, Rani, Kajol, KJo himself, and Farah Khan, among others, highlighting the camaraderie and joy on set. Alongside the images, Karan wrote a heartfelt message, expressing his gratitude and nostalgia for the iconic project. Fans were delighted to witness these rare moments, celebrating the magic that made the film unforgettable.

Karan Johar’s recent post is unmissable!

The caption mentioned in a post, “27 years!!! Here are some lovely and spontaneous memories from our set of #KuchKuchHotaHai… a place filled with affection, endless banter, and joy. I am grateful to everyone for the support you continue to show this film… it means the world to me! @dharmamovies.” The post quickly gained traction as soon as it was uploaded on social media.

Key Details of the Film

The movie premiered in theaters in 1998 and tells the story of Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (Kajol), best friends during their university days. Anjali harbors a secret love for Rahul, but he remains oblivious and instead falls for Tina (Rani Mukerji), a new student. Their young romance blossoms, eventually leading to marriage, while Anjali quietly steps back to cope with her heartbreak, navigating her emotions with grace and resilience.

Years later, after Tina’s untimely passing, Rahul is left to raise their daughter, Anjali Junior. One day, the young girl discovers her mother’s diary, revealing Tina’s wish for Rahul to find love again—with his college friend, Anjali. This discovery sets the stage for a heartfelt reunion, where past emotions resurface, memories are rekindled, and Rahul comes to fully understand the depth of Anjali’s long-held affection.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hain movie

 

Featuring iconic tracks such as “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and “Ladki Badi Anjaani Hai,” the film celebrates the joys of young love and enduring friendship. Even today, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai stands as a beloved masterpiece that transcends time and generations.

Downton Abbey BTS clip reveals how racing scenes were filmed

Downton Abbey BTS clip reveals how racing scenes were filmed

by jummy84 October 13, 2025
written by jummy84

Just over a month after it arrived in UK cinemas, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is now available to rent and buy on digital platforms – and to celebrate the release, we’ve got an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip giving us a new look at how the movie’s racing scenes were filmed.

It turns out that rather than being filmed at Royal Ascot – where the scenes were set – production actually took place more than 200 miles away at Ripon Racecourse in North Yorkshire.

Alongside footage showing the camera crew hard at work, the clip also includes interviews with the cast, including Lady Mary star Michelle Dockery, who says: “Today we’re filming the scenes at Ascot, but we’re actually at Ripon.

“It’s kind of one of the main events of the film, where the family come together and they go to the races and it’s a really exciting day for everyone.”

Meanwhile, franchise newcomer Alessandro Nivola – who has a key role in the film as somewhat dodgy financial advisor Gus Sambrook – explains: “This is a beautiful old racetrack that’s meant to double for Royal Ascot, which has been renovated since the period of the movie.”

Production designer Donal Woods further details why the change of location was made, revealing that “the real Ascot looks like Terminal 5” and that it is now a “huge skyscraper of a building”.

He continues: “Ripon’s still got a lot of period features so not every shot had to be CGI [or] had to be green-screened. And it’s a very quiet course, I mean, we’re now in the middle of the flat-racing season and we had four days filming plus two days to prep – so we needed a clear time frame to actually create the physical side of Royal Ascot that we’re building.”

Since its release in cinemas, the film – which draws the curtain on the hugely popular period drama after six seasons of the TV show and two previous movies – has gone down very well with long-time fans, while also attracting broadly positive reviews from critics.

In our verdict, we called it a “pleasant stroll with characters you know and love” while also remarking on how it ended “with a touching dedication to the legendary actress” Dame Maggie Smith, who memorably played Lady Violet Crawley and sadly passed away last year.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is now available to buy or rent exclusively on digital platforms and is also still showing in some UK cinemas.
