Hrithik Roshan yet to sign Rohit Dhawan’s next

A couple of days ago, it was everywhere in the news that superstar Hrithik Roshan, who was last seen in Kaabil (2017), had given his nod to topline filmmaker Rohit Dhawan’s next directorial venture.

However, if fresh reports are to be believed, the superstar is not in talks to star in the flick. A source close to the development reveals that Dhawan has just finished writing the film and that the casting process is yet to begin.


“Rohit Dhawan has just locked the script of the film. The casting process hasn’t even begun yet,” the source says.

Fans were really excited when they came to know about Hrithik Roshan teaming up with Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment for Rohit Dhawan’s next. But now it looks like that they will have to wait until an official announcement is made by the production house.

Meanwhile, Junior Roshan is currently shooting for his forthcoming film Super 30, based on the life of mathematician Anand Kumar of Bihar. The film is slated to release on 25th January, 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.
