SHOCKING: Did Coolie makers violate IMAX guidelines by using its logo in Aamir Khan’s poster?

Two days ago, the poster of Aamir Khan from the Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie was unveiled, and it received a rocking response. The poster also mentioned important information that the film will be available in the IMAX format. As expected, it led to jubilation among the fans of Coolie. But it left the trade and industry in disbelief. The reason? IMAX hasn’t approved the release of Coolie yet, as confirmed by inside sources to Bollywood Hungama.

A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “It is common knowledge that War 2 and Coolie are releasing on the same day, August 14, and the former has inked an exclusive deal with IMAX. As per this deal, no other Indian film will be played in the IMAX version in India and key properties across the world during that period. Hence, the IMAX mention is shocking because Coolie’s IMAX release hasn’t been approved by the IMAX Corporation. And yet, they have gone ahead and prominently displayed the IMAX logo on the posters.”

A producer, on condition of anonymity, also remarked, “Those who have worked with IMAX are aware that they are extremely particular about how the word ‘IMAX’ should be mentioned. They also instruct the makers that if IMAX is mentioned on the posters, then other formats can’t be mentioned. The makers of Coolie, however, have added D-Box and 4DX mention as well. That’s not all. IMAX is extremely persistent that one can either state ‘Experience it in IMAX’ or ‘Filmed for IMAX’. The makers of Coolie, meanwhile, have printed ‘Watch it in IMAX’, which also probably goes against the IMAX mandate. It remains to be seen how the IMAX head honchos react to this development.”

Why you might still get to watch Coolie in IMAX

A South-based trade source, however, said, “Now that Coolie makers have mentioned it, it makes it clear that their film will be released in IMAX. Or else, why would they mention it? Maybe, they are in talks already for it. But yes, before everything is locked, they shouldn’t have jumped the gun.”

He added, “Either the makers will convince IMAX to let Coolie release in the IMAX theatres. Or else, they’ll play the non-IMAX version of Coolie in the IMAX cinemas, especially in the Southern markets.”

The producer source, meanwhile, said, “But will Yash Raj Films allow that, especially when the deal for exclusive IMAX release of War 2 is in place? Hence, expect a lot of fireworks in the days to come.”

Besides Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan, Coolie also stars Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Sathyaraj and others. It is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. As for War 2, it features Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR and is helmed by Ayan Mukerji.

The REAL Budget is Rs. 1600 CRORES! Ranbir Kapoor-Yash’s Ramayana becomes India’s MOST EXPENSIVE film

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's epic face off in Ramayana is all set to take the centre stage all across the world from Diwali 2026. While the makers have showcased the announcement video, which has won appreciation and spiking even more excitement for the project, we have exclusively learnt that the Nitesh Tiwari directorial is the most expensive film of Indian Cinema

Reliable sources close to the producer, Namit Malhotra, have confirmed that Ramayana Franchise is being designed on a budget of Rs. 1600 crores, excluding print and publicity. "While Ramayana 1 is being made on a budget of Rs. 900 crore, the second part of Ramayana has a cost of Rs. 700 crore. The reason for the reduction is budget for part two is a result of a large investment in asset and world creation for part one, leaving just the action sequences for the second installment. The characters built and designed alongside the set pieces will continue to be a part of the second installment," a source shared with Bollywood Hungama.

The source further informed that Namit is not splitting the cost on parts one and two, but is treating it as an investment of Rs. 1600 crore on the Ramayana franchise. "Ramayana is the most ambitious film for the Malhotra Family, and they are treating it as a project of pride. The entire team is confident of recovering the investment and even making profits as the idea is to tap into the world audience, and to do so, it's important to deliver a global project, with spectacular visuals," the source told us further.

Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor and Yash with Sai Pallavi and Sunny Deol. It is slated to release on Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027. Also Read: Alia Bhatt reacts to Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Ram look in Ramayana: “This feels like the start of something unforgettable”

EXCLUSIVE: Adivi Sesh on Dacoit’s box office clash with YRF’s Alpha, “I’ve never been too shy when it comes to a box office clash”

Adivi Sesh’s Telugu and Hindi bilingual romantic action drama Dacoit: A Love Story is all set to release on Christmas this year. The makers announced the film’s release date through an interesting first glimpse video at the end of May. The response to it turned out to be positive as it made Adivi’s fans more curious about the film.

But the makers of Dacoit choosing December 25 as the release date also means that the film will be clashing at the box office with Yash Raj Films’ Alpha, which is a part of the YRF Spy Universe. The action drama stars Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and Bobby Deol.

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Adivi Sesh was asked about his thoughts on the clash. He said, “I’ve never been one to be too shy when it comes to a clash. My debut Hindi film, Major was released against Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj and Kamal (Haasan) sir’s Vikram.” Interestingly, Samrat Prithviraj was also produced by YRF.

Pointing out how clashes are inevitable, Adivi added, “I don’t think anyone intends to clash against a film on purpose. So many permutations and combinations come into play when deciding on a release date. I’ve got to keep my South Indian base in mind for Dacoit as well because it’s being shot both in Hindi and Telugu. At the end of the day, a good film will hopefully find its audience if you make it well and promote it right.”

Theatrical business hasn’t been great since last year. It is believed that too much penetration of OTT platforms is one of the reasons behind this. Sharing his thoughts on the same, Adivi said, “My greatest theatrical successes have come in the midst of the OTT boom. So what does that tell you? It is ultimately what you believe in. Do you have a story worth telling for the big screen? Then tell it.”

Directed by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit also stars Mrunal Thakur, Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj and Atul Kulkarni.

Aamir Khan says cricketer Javed Miandad ruined his wedding day with iconic last-ball six: “I said Javed bhai aapne theek nahi kiya”

In a recent heartwarming interview with The Lallantop, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan opened up about a memorable and unexpected twist on his wedding day. It wasn’t family drama or logistical chaos—but a cricket ball—that cast a shadow over what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of his life.

On April 18, 1986, 21-year-old Aamir and his neighbour-turned-love-interest Reena Dutta secretly married in a court ceremony, defying familial opposition. Their strategy? Keep it under wraps—and it worked. “Mujhe laga sab puchenge kaha the itni der,” Aamir confessed, admitting he and Reena feared their families would question their late return home.

To their surprise, no one noticed—they were too glued to a high-stakes India‑Pakistan cricket match being broadcast that day. Aamir said, “It was India-Pakistan match day. The same match where Javed Miandad hit a six on the last ball. We were winning that match so nobody cared to ask us about our absence for so long. I too joined them and was watching cricket, however, Javed’s six ruined it all.”

Aamir candidly recounted how even he, swept up in the excitement, found his joy shattered. “Once I happened to meet him on the flight when I told him, ‘Javed bhai aapne theek nahi kiya. Aapne meri shadi barbaad kardi .He was like, ‘Kaise?’ I said, Usi din aapne chakka mara tha. Depression mein chala gaya tha mai.”

That day marked not only a historic sporting moment, but also a poignant personal one. It remains a beloved anecdote in Aamir’s life—a reminder of how sport and emotion intertwine in the subcontinent. Today, Aamir and Reena maintain mutual respect as co-parents to their children, Junaid and Ira, even though they parted ways in 2002 after 16 years of marriage.

YRF to keep Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR away from each other for War 2 promotions!

Yash Raj Films have always deployed unique strategies to spike audience interest while promoting the YRF Spy Universe movies. We have learnt that since War 2 will see the first ever on-screen moment of Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR coming together, YRF will keep them away from each other during promotions so that the experience of them ruthlessly fighting each other is served to the maximum to audience.

“Hrithik & Jr NTR will be promoting War 2 separately and all plans have been made keeping in mind that they would never share the stage together, never be in any promotional video together pre-release and never seen with each other. Hrithik and Jr NTR coming together is a once in a lifetime cinematic moment in Indian cinema and there will be a bloody carnage on the big screen. YRF is clear that the audience should first experience this rivalry before they see the two promote with camaraderie. They want to deliver the best movie-watching experience to people by preserving the conflict which is the unique selling point of the film,” informed a senior trade source.

“The YRF Spy Universe has always deployed very interesting strategies to build its film and the promise of entertainment. They were the first to resort to a no interview before release policy during promotions of spyverse films so that the actors don’t divulge details from the script during such interactions. In the first War, Hrithik & Tiger first came face to face with each other during the success bash of the film, in Pathaan they recorded capsules with Shah Rukh Khan to deploy on social media to reveal nuggets of Pathaan and kept hyping the buzz on the film without SRK doing any events. Pathaan went on to became an all-time blockbuster. For Tiger Zinda Hai, the film’s campaign celebrated how the Tiger franchise set up the YRF Spy Universe and fellow agents came into the promotional campaign much to people’s surprise and awe!” the source added.

War 2 is buzzing as the most-awaited film of 2025. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, War 2 will also see the big IMAX release when it arrives at the big screen on August 14, 2025 worldwide. War 2 has been produced by Aditya Chopra and Kiara Advani joins the YRF Spy Universe in her most lethal avatar to date.

Amber Cinema Jamnagar shuts down; was the ONLY theatre in Gujarat to screen Aamir Khan’s Fanaa and a RARE cinema hall to screen Salman Khan’s Radhe

The single screen cinema halls have a charm but are also facing a tough time surviving in the times we are living in. Hence, it's not uncommon to hear about such theatres shutting every now and then. The latest theatre to down its shutters is Amber Cinema of Jamanagar. It was also one of the oldest running theatres in Gujarat.

As per reports, Amber Cinema was inaugurated in 1972 and the first film to play there was the Dharmendra and Hema Malini-starrer Raja Jani. The theatre soon became popular and an indispensable part of the lives of the movie buffs of the town. The reports stated that it became difficult for the management to run a single screen in today’s times. Hence, with a heavy heart, it ceased operations on Friday, June 27. A notice board has been put up inside the premises that states ‘The theatre will remain closed from today’.

Fanaa connection In 2006, Amber Cinema made news nationwide as it screened the Aamir Khan-Kajol starrer Fanaa, the only film in Gujarat to do so. The romantic thriller was banned in the state after Aamir Khan participated in a protest led by environmentalist Medha Patkar against the Narmada Dam. Aamir’s effigies were burned across the state and realizing that there can be law and order problems and even vandalism, theatres across Gujarat decided not to play Fanaa.

The matter reached the Supreme Court which made it clear that the Gujarat government was duty-bound to provide security for multiplex owners if they sought police protection. Accordingly, on June 6, that is on the 12th day of Fanaa’s release, Amber Cinema decided to release the Yash Raj Films saga. From the archives, we have learned that on the first day, the film recorded only 30% occupancy, possibly due to fear of protests and violence. But once the public realized that there was no danger, the shows ran with full occupancy. It was said that people flocked from outside Jamnagar as well to catch the film.

On June 11, however, a man set himself on fire in the washroom of Amber Cinema to protest the screening of Fanaa. It re-ignited the protests. On June 12, the Amber Cinema decided to discontinue the film. By then, nearly 13,000 people had watched Fanaa.

Meanwhile, Pravin Joshi, the man who attempted self-immolation in Amber, passed away after battling for life in a hospital for 9 days.

Radhe connection Amber Cinema was one of the three theatres in Gujarat to play Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai (2021). It was released in May that year, during the height of the second wave of COVID-19, when cinemas were shut. On June 27, when the Gujarat government allowed theatres to resume operations, the management of the film released the Salman Khan-starrer. The film was available on OTT and moreover, the word of mouth was poor to average. Yet, the film managed to get around 20-90 admissions a day, which was a feat. The film ran there for nearly 20 days.

RIP single screen culture in Jamnagar With Amber shutting down, no single-screen cinema is now in operation in Jamnagar. At one point, the Gujarat town had nearly 7 theatres like Deepak, Anupam, Jayshree, Galaxy, etc. At present, three theatres, all multiplexes, are running operations - Inox Crystal Mall, Mehul Cinemas and PVR Utsav JCR Entertainment. The first two are in the city while the last one is located on the outskirts and also consists of a Drive-In theatre.

EXCLUSIVE: Suneel Darshan’s Andaaz 2 to release in cinemas on August 1; makers drop four youthful posters of the musical entertainer

Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront in giving news about Andaaz 2 ever since its launch. In November 2023, we announced that it went on the floors. A month later, we informed readers that it’ll launch Aayush Kumar and Akaisha and also star Natasha Fernandez. Earlier this year, producer-director Suneel Darshan unveiled the teaser and exciting posters of the film along with some of the songs. And now, the makers have locked the release date of the film.

Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that Andaaz 2 will arrive in cinemas on August 1, 2025. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers realized that it’s an ideal date for the film considering that there won’t be a significant release on August 8 since it's the pre-Independence week. Hence, Andaaz 2 will get a nice two-week window to prove its worth at the ticket window.”

On this significant occasion of the release date announcement, Andaaz 2 makers also launched four cool posters, again exclusively with Bollywood Hungama. Three posters belong to the leading actors while one poster features all three of them together.

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama in March 2024, director Suneel Darshan said, “Honestly, there was no calculation behind making Andaaz 2. When I wrote the script, I realized that Andaaz 2 is a befitting title. It's not the same story but somewhere, the storytelling was in the same zone and also, it was a musical and a love triangle just like Andaaz (2003) and much more. That’s how we ended up calling it Andaaz 2.”

In the same interview, Suneel Darshan revealed that he had initially planned to consider Aayush for the role of the lead hero’s friend but later changed his mind. On this, Aayush stated, “I came to meet him, hoping that I would be given some important role in the film. When Suneel sir told me (about the change in plan), I felt very fortunate.”

The music is composed by Nadeem and it is expected to be one of the USPs of the film. Suneel Darshan revealed, “We took our time constructing the music. It was very important to the structure of the film. Also, that era was of Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. They worked in all of our films. Sonu Nigam had just come in at that time. But as two decades have passed since then, we have signed new and formidable singers. I retained Shaan as he was appropriate for one of the songs. Neeraj Shridhar has sung one song. From the younger lot, we have Javed Ali, Palak Mucchal, Asees Kaur, Amit Mishra, Mohd Irfan and Shadab Faridi. In short, there are 9 singers.”

Firoz Nadiadwala opens up about the return of Paresh Rawal to Hera Pheri 3, credits Sajid Nadiadwala; says, “The family is now together”

The Hera Pheri franchise is back on track with its much-awaited third installment, and fans can finally rejoice as Paresh Rawal, who famously plays Babu Bhaiyya, has officially returned to Hera Pheri 3 after a long period of uncertainty and legal complexities. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala confirmed that the Hera Pheri family is back together, crediting his brother Sajid Nadiadwala and filmmaker Ahmed Khan for playing instrumental roles in resolving the issues.

In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Firoz said, “With love, respect, and kind guidance of my brother Sajid Nadiadwala, and also Mr. Ahmed Khan, Hera Pheri family is back together. My brother, Sajid put in a lot of personal time and efforts, over several days to resolve the matter. We have a bond of over 50 years".

He further added, “Ahmed too put in a lot of personal efforts. So it is with the love and guidance of Sajid and Ahmed, that everything is now productive and positive.” Firoz also acknowledged Akshay Kumar’s role in ensuring the film’s progress, stating, “We also have Akshay ji’s support. We both have shared a very good bond since 1996. He was very kind, loving, and affectionate in the entire process of sorting the issues.”

Firoz Nadiadwala emphasized the collective effort behind reuniting the original team, adding, “Priyan ji, Paresh ji and Suniel ji too were very supportive. We are looking for a good happy movie now. This will be one more entertainer in the family franchise of Hera Pheri. We are all going to work very hard. The family is now together.”

For those unaware, Paresh Rawal had earlier revealed to Bollywood Hungama that he had decided to quit Hera Pheri 3, though he did not publicly specify the reason. Reports of legal notices surrounding his exit soon surfaced. However, the recent confirmation of his return has sparked excitement among fans eager to see the iconic trio—Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty—reprise their beloved roles as Babu Bhaiyya, Raju, and Shyam.

With the Hera Pheri family now reunited, the film promises to deliver another memorable addition to the popular comedy franchise.
