Rajkumar Santoshi to launch debutants Namashi and Amrin with Bad Boy

Acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi, who has been missing from the scene for quite a long time now, has wielded the megaphone once again. The director has quietly started working on his next project which will launch two debutants in Bollywood.

Santoshi, who last helmed Phata Poster Nikhla Hero in 2013, has roped in yesteryear superstar Mithun Chakraborty’s youngest son Namashi and producer Sajid Qureshi’s daughter Amrin to play the lead roles in his comeback film. Titled Bad Boy, the movie is currently being shot in Bangalore.


“He had several rounds of auditions before deciding on them and thereafter put both of them through some acting workshops,” reveals producer Sajid Qureshi.

The producer goes on to spill more beans on the film and says that it will be on the lines of the Shahid Kapoor and Ileana D’Cruz starrer Phata Poster Nikhla Hero and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009), featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.

As mentioned above, Bad Boy is presently being shot in Bangalore. After completing the Bangalore schedule, the team will carry out a brief schedule in Mumbai also. The makers are looking at completing the entire shoot in 65 days.

The release date of the film is yet to be announced.

Spider-Noir swaps superheroes for smoke-filled mystery

Marvel has spent years expanding its superhero universe, but Spider-Noir takes a noticeably different route. Instead of another glossy modern adventure, the new Prime Video series leans heavily into old-school detective storytelling, pulling viewers into a world of shadows, cigarette smoke and classic noir style.

Led by Nicolas Cage, the series trades skyscraper heroics for trench coats and private investigations. While Cage previously voiced a Spider-Man variant in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this version is not Peter Parker. Here, he plays Ben Reilly, a former masked hero who once protected New York as The Spider.
