Akshay Kumar starts shooting for his next Good News

Superstar Akshay Kumar, who will shortly be seen in the much-awaited war period drama Kesari, has started shooting for his next film Good News, which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles.

While Diljit, Kiara and Kareena started shooting for the film a while ago, Akshay joined the team on Tuesday. The superstar was spotted shooting for the movie in the parking lot of a building in Mumbai.


Good News, which revolves around a married couple who are trying to have a baby, marks Khiladi Kumar’s reunion with Kareena Kapoor Khan after a decade. The duo was last seen together in Sabbir Khan’s action entertainer Kambakkht Ishq which hit screens in 2009.

The film is being made under the banner of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. It is being helmed by debutant filmmaker Raj Mehta, who has previously assisted Shashank Khaitan on such successful films as Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) and Dhadak (2018).

Good News is set to release on 19th July, 2019.

Netflix approves $25 billion buyback after scrapping Warner Bros bid

Highlights

  • Netflix board approved a $25bn share repurchase on 22 April, with no expiry date.
  • The move follows Netflix abandoning its $83bn bid for Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets.
  • Netflix stock has fallen more than 10 per cent since weak Q2 guidance, closing at $93.24 on 22 April.
Netflix has approved a $25 billion share buyback programme, using capital it had kept aside for its failed bid to buy Warner Bros.
The board gave the green light on 22 April, with the decision disclosed in an SEC filing the next day.
There is no expiry date on the programme. It comes on top of an existing December 2024 buyback that still had $6.8 billion left as of 31 March.

Earlier this year, Netflix pulled out of an $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets after Paramount Skydance made a rival bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount then paid Netflix a $2.8 billion exit fee.

Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters had already said the company would restart share buybacks once the deal was off.

Netflix shares have had a rough ride. They hit an all-time high of $134.12 in June 2025, then fell more than 40 per cent when the Warner Bros deal was announced.
