As anticipation builds for Ek Deewane Ki DEEWAANIYAT, actor Harshvardhan Rane has announced a heartfelt and rather unconventional gesture to mark the film’s release. Taking a more personal route, Rane will be selling the very first ticket of the film at the iconic Raj Mandir Theatre in Jaipur today, October 16.
The Raj Mandir, known as one of India’s most famous single-screen theatres, has long been associated with cinematic grandeur. Taking to his social media handle, the actor shared a photo of himself driving, with a note that read, “See you at Raj Mandir theatre, Jaipur, on 16th Oct. I will personally sell the 1st ticket of the country to you from the ticket counter! And if all tickets are sold, I will come back to watch the film with you.”

Take a look:

The post immediately caught the attention of fans, who praised the actor for his down-to-earth gesture and dedication to connecting with audiences directly. Ek Deewane Ki DEEWAANIYAT, directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in lead roles. The musical romantic drama has already delivered a string of hit songs, including Deewaniyat, Bol Kaffara Kya Hoga, Mera Hua, and Dil Dil Dil.

Ek Deewane Ki DEEWAANIYAT is produced by Anshul Garg under his banner Desi Music Factory and co-produced by Raghav Sharma. The film is written by Mushtaq Shaikh and co-written by Milap Milan Zaveri.


Speaking about the film, the director said, “This is a passionate love story at its core. Harshvardhan and Sonam’s chemistry is electrifying, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience it this Diwali.”

The film also brings Sonam Bajwa to the big screen in a new avatar, pairing her opposite Harshvardhan Rane for the first time. Ek Deewane Ki DEEWAANIYAT is set to hit theatres this Diwali, on October 21, 2025.

Sam Smith to Reopen San Francisco’s Castro Theatre With 2025 Residency

The historic Castro Theatre in San Francisco is reopening next year — and they got a queer music icon to do the honors of inaugurating it. On Tuesday, Sam Smith announced that they will bring their To Be Free concert residency to San Francisco for a run of eight shows next February.

“I love San Francisco, and The Castro, especially, has been so central to the Queer community here over the years,” Smith said in a press release. “These shows will also celebrate the official reopening, so it’s truly an honor to become part of this iconic venue’s history.”

Smith is scheduled to perform at the Castro Theatre on Feb. 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, and 21.

The Castro, which first opened in 1922 as a movie palace, temporarily closed its doors in early 2024 to undergo extensive renovations. These renovations included restorations to its iconic neon sign, the installation of new chandeliers, a new cooling and heating system, additional restrooms, and improvements to ADA accessibility for patrons.

To celebrate the announcement of the new shows — with tickets on sale Oct. 7 at 10 a.m. PT — Smith also released a cover of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

The video features Smith walking through the Castro Theatre mid-renovation, strolling the streets of San Francisco’s historic queer district, and finally standing among queer fans outside the lit-up theatre, where Smith collects tickets at the entrance.

Smith is currently hosting their New York City residency for “To Be Free” at the Warsaw. They have shows scheduled for 12 dates in October, six in November, and six more in December. The residency runs — now set for NY and SF — celebrate Smith’s single of the same name, “To Be Free.”

“I’ve never had a recording experience like I did making this song. It’s one vocal-and-guitar take from start to finish — one live performance of me and my friend Simon [Aldred] in a pure state of music and expression,” they said of the song. “I wrote it five years ago while writing my last album, Gloria, and then parked it because I knew it was not a song for that album. It was created during a time in my life where I became free within myself.”

Sanjay Dutt looks back

Recently, Sanjay joined Suniel Shetty for a fun outing in Kapil Sharma’s comedy show The Great Indian Kapil Show. During his appearance in the show, Sanjay looked back at time spent inside prison.

Talking about his life, Sanjay said, “I don’t regret anything that has happened in my life. My main regret is that my parents left me too soon. I really miss them.”

Following which, Archana Puran Singh asked Sanjay what he did with the furniture which he built while doing carpentry in jail.

Sanjay responded, “I earned wages there. Whether I made chairs or paper bags, I got paid. Then I even started a radio station, called Radio YCP. It was once played only inside the jail. I was also paid for that. I did the radio program. We had topics to talk about, and we also did some comedy. Three or four other prisoners would write the script for the program.”

“I even started a theatre group, and I was the director and murder convicts were my actors,” he added.

More about Sanjay Dutt’s tumultuous past

Sanjay is the son of late actors Nargis and Sunil Dutt. He was sentenced to prison by a TADA Court in 2007 for illegal possession of weapons in a 1993 case. After the Supreme Court upheld this decision in 2013, the actor surrendered. He was in Pune’s Yerwada Central Jail from 2013-16.

His fans got a glimpse of his life through Rajkumar Hirani’s film Sanju, in which Ranbir Kapoor was seen living his life. In one particular scene in the film, Ranbir as Sanjay was seen in a helpless state due to an overflowing toilet in jail. After completing his sentence, Sanjay came out of prison in 2016 and has since been active in the film industry.

Sanjay tied the knot with Maanayata in 2008. The couple share twins. They currently reside in Dubai, with Sanjay frequently traveling to Mumbai for professional commitments. He was most recently seen in Baaghi 4 which also stars Tiger Shroff, Sonam Bajwa, Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu, Shreyas Talpade, Saurabh Sachdeva, Upendra Limaye, and Sheeba Akashdeep Sabir.
