Almost five years after they got married, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh finally shared their wedding video on the first episode of Koffee With Karan 8.
The actor couple appeared on the show hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar and revealed details about their marriage, the proposal, and more.
The B-Town couple also treated 'Deepveer' fans with a glimpse of their wedding.
The video started with Ranveer giving a toast at his wedding and revealed that he had once said that he would marry Deepika Padukone and the day had finally come.
From cute moments of 'Deepveer's' wedding, the video also featured bytes from their families talking about Ranveer and Deepika.
Deepika's father and badminton legend Prakash Padukone said in the video that Ranveer brings some excitement to their 'boring' family of four.
Deepika also describes why she said yes to Ranveer.
She is heard saying in the clip, "I was attracted to the person that most of the world has not seen. There is a quiet side to him, a very intelligent side. There is a sensitive side to him. I love the fact that he cries. I love the fact that he was all heart. "
He said, "I am not in a relationship and I am kind of single. It just makes me feel what I am losing out on being in one. Not being in, you feel like, you don't have a partner of your own to share the nothing of your day with. And every day I wake up and a little part of me feels that vacuum. I have my kids and mom but when I see this and I see you... And I know relationships are tough but that soul connection with a person that you can wake up with, hold their hand, and see your day through tough times. I don't think I have had a moment like this on my own show but I feel like I felt so happy for you and I felt so alone yet. I hope I have a story to tell like this."
Deepika assured him that he would find someone at the right time.
Karan Johar also inquired if the two were secretly engaged.
To which Ranveer shared, "In 2015, I had proposed to her. I wanted to be the first before anyone else could propose to her."
When asked if she would date Rocky Randhawa, Deepika Padukone replied, "I am married to Rocky Randhawa."
The much-loved couple ceremoniously tied the knot on November 14, 2018, in Italy's Lake Como. The two got married in a traditional South Indian ceremony followed by a North Indian wedding a day after.
The couple has starred together in a number of films including Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, and others.
Talking about Karan's show, new episodes will be released every Thursday on Disney+ Hotstar.
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap criticised Vijay Subramaniam for backing the AI-made film Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal.
Kashyap said the project undermines creativity and betrays the artists represented by Subramaniam’s agency.
Vikramaditya Motwane also expressed disapproval, warning of AI sidelining writers and directors.
The AI film is produced by Abundantia Entertainment and Collective Media Network, with a 2026 release planned.
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has sharply criticised the upcoming project Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal, promoted as India’s first fully AI-made film. The director targeted Vijay Subramaniam, head of Collective Artists Network, accusing him of betraying the very writers, actors and directors his agency represents. The backlash follows recent controversy over AI’s use in altering the Tamil release of Aanand L Rai’s Raanjhanaa.

What is Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal ?
Earlier this week, production houses Abundantia Entertainment and Collective Media Network unveiled the poster of Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal. Marketed as the country’s first “Made-in-AI, Made-in-India” film, it is scheduled to release on Hanuman Jayanti 2026.
Producers claim the project will combine mythology with modern innovation, reimagining Lord Hanuman’s story for global audiences. They described the initiative as a tribute to India’s cultural legacy, brought alive through technology.
However, the announcement triggered heated debate within the industry. While backers framed the film as innovation, critics argue it risks erasing the role of human storytellers in cinema.
Anurag Kashyap, known for outspoken views, voiced his anger on Instagram after the poster launch. Addressing Subramaniam directly, he wrote:
“Here is the man heading an agency representing artists, writers and directors, now producing a film made by AI. End of the day, all these agencies are only interested in making money off you. Any actor or anyone who calls themselves artists and has a spine should be questioning him or leaving the agency.”
The filmmaker went further, describing the project as “the future for the spineless and cowardly so-called artists in the Hindi film industry.” His remarks reflect wider concerns that agencies profit from talent while backing projects that remove creative workers from the process.
Kashyap has previously worked on films tackling issues of power, exploitation and authenticity in cinema. His latest outburst adds to growing resistance against AI in filmmaking.
Kashyap was not alone in condemning the move. Director Vikramaditya Motwane, who recently explored AI themes in his project CTRL, reposted the announcement on Instagram with the blunt caption: “And so it begins. Who TF needs writers and directors when it’s ‘Made in AI’?”
Motwane’s reaction highlights a fear shared by many in the industry: that studios may prioritise cost-cutting AI tools over human creativity. His remarks echo discontent following Raanjhanaa’s AI-altered ending, which led to protests from Aanand L Rai’s team.
The Chiranjeevi Hanuman backlash has therefore become symbolic of a larger struggle, of filmmakers fighting to safeguard artistic integrity in an era of technological disruption.

What has the producer said in defence of AI films?
Vijay Subramaniam, head of Collective Artists Network and producer of Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal, defended the film at its launch. He argued that the project is not replacing tradition but enhancing it, describing it as “a unique opportunity to reimagine cultural storytelling for audiences who value both heritage and innovation.”
Supporters of the film insist that AI technology can make epic stories more accessible and visually ambitious without the usual budget constraints. Yet the criticism from Kashyap and Motwane shows strong resistance within Bollywood towards projects perceived as sidelining human talent.
The debate reflects a broader global conversation on AI’s role in creative industries, from Hollywood writers’ strikes to controversies in Indian cinema. With Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal set for release in 2026, the clash between technological innovation and artistic integrity is likely to intensify.

The much-anticipated Netflix series marks his debut as a director after four years of preparation.

What did Aryan Khan say in his first speech?
Aryan Khan confessed that facing the media for the first time left him anxious. “I’ve been practising this speech for two days and three nights,” he said, before joking that he had even written it down on paper in case of a power cut. He added, “Aur agar iss sab ke baad bhi mujhse galti ho jaaye toh papa hain na (And even then if I make a mistake, my dad is here).”
In a lighthearted moment, Shah Rukh Khan joined in by showing a copy of Aryan’s speech taped to his back, drawing laughter from the audience. Aryan ended his address by requesting forgiveness if he stumbled, saying, “This is my first time.”
The Netflix series The Ba**ds of Bollywood is described as a high-energy, stylised drama set against the backdrop of the film industry. It features Lakshya and Sahher Bambba in lead roles, with Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Raghav Juyal, and Anya Singh in pivotal parts.
The series, produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, also features cameos from Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh and Karan Johar. According to Aryan, the project took four years of development, with “hundreds of discussions and thousands of takes” before reaching its final form.
Netflix has confirmed that The Ba**ds of Bollywood will begin streaming worldwide on 18 September. The platform has promoted it as a fresh take on the glitz and chaos of the industry, promising stylised visuals, sharp humour, and a look at ambition and rivalry in the world of cinema.
For Aryan, the series represents not just a professional debut but also the culmination of years of behind-the-scenes work. He said at the launch: “We’ve tried to bring entertainment to people everywhere, and I want to thank everyone who made this possible.”

The warm reception suggests that Aryan’s entry into filmmaking has sparked high curiosity, both because of his family legacy and the scale of the project. With his directorial debut soon arriving on Netflix, expectations are running high.

Charli XCX ends her Brat era with a South Korean festival performance
Pop star leaves fans emotional with farewell message on stage screen
Teases upcoming A24 film The Moment based on her own concept
Singer shifts focus from music to film after blockbuster success
Charli XCX has officially closed the chapter on her acclaimed Brat era with an emotional final performance at South Korea’s One Universe Festival, where she also teased her next project. The British pop star, who dominated global charts with Brat, used her farewell show to surprise fans with a teaser for her upcoming A24 film The Moment.

What happened at Charli XCX’s final Brat concert?
On 15 August, Charli XCX took the stage in Gwacheon-si for her last headlining performance linked to Brat, the album that turned her from cult favourite to mainstream force. As she wrapped her set, a huge screen behind her displayed the words: “Please don’t let it be over.”
The message struck a chord with fans, who had been following her whirlwind year of success. Shortly after, she posted a clip on Instagram showing a film slate marked The Moment, confirming her move towards cinema.
Why is the Brat era significant in Charli XCX’s career?
Released in June 2024, Brat became Charli’s most successful album to date, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Its lime-green cover, hyperpop energy, and cultural reach made it more than just a record. From influencing U.S. political campaigns to dominating TikTok trends, Brat marked a turning point in the perception of experimental pop.
Charli herself admitted she never expected the record’s impact. Speaking earlier this year, she said: “I don’t really feel the pressure because you can never do the same thing twice. My next record will probably be a flop, which I’m down for to be honest.”
What do we know about Charli XCX’s new film The Moment ?
The most talked-about reveal from her farewell concert was her upcoming A24 project The Moment. The film, based on her own concept, signals a bold shift into storytelling on screen. While details remain under wraps, fans online are already speculating about its potential to capture the same disruptive energy that made Brat so influential.
This is not Charli’s first step into acting. She is also set to appear in several upcoming films including I Want Your Sex with Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman, the satire Sacrifice with Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy, and a fantasy adaptation of 100 Nights of Hero.

What’s next for Charli XCX after Brat ?
With music milestones behind her, Charli XCX is turning her attention to film while still maintaining her reputation as an artist. She recently collaborated with Japanese horror director Takashi Miike for a new project and continues to expand her acting portfolio.
On a personal note, the singer also married The 1975’s drummer George Daniel in London last month. The wedding was a private ceremony at Hackney Town Hall, attended by close friends and family.

As she steps into a new creative phase, fans may have to wait before hearing another record, but Charli’s latest pivot suggests she is just as committed to breaking boundaries in cinema as she has been in music.

Quentin Tarantino confirms his first West End play debut in London
Quentin Tarantino says his first-ever play will premiere in London’s West End.
The director confirmed the script is complete and work begins in January 2026.
He plans to relocate with his family to the UK during the production.
Tarantino hinted the play could also become his final film if it succeeds.
Hollywood filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has confirmed he is bringing his West End play debut to London, marking his first step into theatre. Speaking on The Church of Tarantino podcast, the Oscar-winning director of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill revealed that the script is finished and that he will begin work on the project in early 2026. The move signals a new chapter for the 62-year-old, who said he intends to spend two years on the production and even relocate to the UK with his wife, singer Daniella Pick, and their two children.

What has Quentin Tarantino said about his West End play?
Tarantino told the podcast that the untitled play is “all written” and confirmed it will be his next project. He explained that rehearsals and production will begin in January 2026, with the expectation that the show could premiere by 2027.
“It’ll probably be a year before it’s in front of an audience,” he said, adding that he is preparing for the play to be a success. “If it’s a flop, then I will be done very quickly.”
The filmmaker also suggested that if the West End production is well received, it could later be adapted into a film, potentially serving as the tenth and final movie of his career.

Why is Tarantino moving to the UK?
The director revealed he is planning to move to England with his family for the duration of the play’s production. Tarantino, who currently lives in Tel Aviv, said the relocation would allow him to closely oversee the project.
He explained that he intends to spend the rest of 2025 with his family before shifting focus entirely to his West End debut. “We’ll start the ball rolling on it in January… it’s going to take a year and a half to two years of my life,” he told the podcast.
Reports have also pointed out that staging a production in London is more financially viable than Broadway, where higher costs often limit new works.

Has Quentin Tarantino worked in theatre before?
Although this will be Tarantino’s official West End play debut, it is not his first experience with theatre. In 2015, following a script leak, he staged The Hateful Eight as a live reading. He also adapted his 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood into a play, showing his interest in moving stories from screen to stage.
His new project is expected to be a comedy, although no storyline or cast details have been announced yet.

What else is Tarantino working on?
Alongside the play, Tarantino has been busy with film projects. He wrote the script for The Adventures of Cliff Booth, a Netflix sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood centred on Brad Pitt’s stuntman character. The film is being directed by David Fincher, whom Tarantino praised as “one of the two best directors working today.”
He also revealed why he abandoned his planned project The Movie Critic, saying: “Every Tarantino title promises so much, except The Movie Critic. Who wants to see a movie about a critic?”

Tarantino has long maintained he intends to retire after making ten films, counting Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 as a single entry. With nine films already completed, the success of his West End debut could shape how he closes his directing career.

Scott Rose-Marsh has reportedly auditioned for the next James Bond film
British actor Scott Rose-Marsh has reportedly screen tested for the new James Bond film.
The 37-year-old was asked to read lines from GoldenEye without imitating past 007 stars.
His audition challenges reports that Amazon wanted a much younger actor in his 20s.
Bond 26 will be directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight.
British rising star Scott Rose-Marsh has reportedly taken part in a James Bond screen test, fuelling speculation over who will replace Daniel Craig in the iconic role. The 37-year-old actor, who has credits in Krays: Code of Silence and Wolves of War, is the latest name linked to the coveted part. His audition comes as filmmaker Denis Villeneuve and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight prepare to usher in a new era of 007 with Bond 26.

Who is Scott Rose-Marsh and what are his acting credits?
Scott Rose-Marsh may not be a household name, but the British actor has been steadily building his career in both film and television. His screen credits include the crime drama Krays: Code of Silence (2021) and the war thriller Wolves of War. On television, he has appeared in Chloe and Stephen Merchant’s The Outlaws.
At 37, Rose-Marsh is almost the same age Daniel Craig was when he debuted as 007 in Casino Royale (2006). This raises questions about whether Amazon, which recently acquired MGM and the Bond franchise in a deal worth around £790 million (₹83,44,90,00,000), is shifting its casting direction away from the previously rumoured younger candidates.
According to reports in The Hollywood Reporter, Rose-Marsh was invited to audition by reading dialogue from the 1995 Pierce Brosnan film GoldenEye. However, producers reportedly instructed him not to mimic Brosnan or any previous Bond actor, emphasising a fresh interpretation of the role.
The move signals that the creative team may be looking for a unique spin on the legendary spy, rather than recycling familiar mannerisms. This could prove decisive in differentiating Bond 26 from past instalments and establishing a new identity for the character.

Who else is in the running to be the next James Bond?
For months, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been considered the frontrunner, with bookmakers and fans tipping the Kick-Ass star as Craig’s successor. Other names frequently mentioned include Masters of the Air actor Callum Turner, The Gentlemen star Theo James, and Bridgerton favourite Regé-Jean Page.
However, if Rose-Marsh’s reported screen test proves accurate, it highlights just how unpredictable the casting process can be. The actor would also be the first redheaded Bond in history, echoing the debate that erupted in 2005 when Craig’s blond hair sparked headlines before his first outing in Casino Royale.

When will Bond 26 be released?
No official release date has been confirmed for Bond 26, but the film is not expected until 2028. What is known is that acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve, fresh off the Dune trilogy, has been signed to direct. The script is currently being written by Steven Knight, who has been tasked with creating a story that balances the franchise’s legacy with a modern edge.
The project is being overseen by long-time Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, alongside new collaborators Amy Pascal and David Heyman. With Amazon MGM Studios now holding creative control, expectations are high for how this next chapter of 007 will be shaped.
