Weeks after India went into complete lockdown to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, several broadcasters pulled down their ongoing shows which were not performing well on TRP charts. The decision was taken to cut costs. And if industry insiders are to be believed, the trend will continue for some time.
There was much speculation that Creative Eye Limited and Essel Vision Productions’ popular show Ishq Subhan Allah, which airs on ZEE TV, was also getting terminated. However, if fresh reports are to be believed, the show will not go off-air. The makers have instead decided to give it an extension of one full year.
According to reports, Eisha Singh’s character Zara Siddiqui will be saved after she fell off a cliff. The actress had quit the show in October, 2019. She is expected to join the cast again. Tunisha Sharma will, however, make an exit from the show.
When asked if she is returning to play the character of Zara once again, Eisha informs a publication. "Since I have left the show, the channel has been wanting me to come back but the dates have been clashing with my other projects. Talks are on but nothing has been confirmed yet. And, I don't get involved in all these things as my mother is taking care of it. But I will surely let you know if anything is confirmed.”
With the government giving permission to star film and television shoots, a number of shows have resumed production. Several shows are expected to follow suit in a couple of weeks. ZEE TV has recently announced that it will begin airing fresh episodes of shows from 13th July 2020. In fresh episodes of Ishq Subhan Allah in particular, the audience will witness a number of twists and turns in the story.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
