A few days ago, there were reports that Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film Dil Bechara has become the most tweeted film of the year. The movie also starred Sahil Vaid in a pivotal role, and while talking to us the actor opened up about the film’s success.
When asked about Dil Bechara becoming the most tweeted film of the year, Sahil told us, “It feels great. But at the same time, I wish Sushant was around to know this was happening. And I am not unrealistic, I know why it was the most tweeted film. It was the most tweeted film of the year because of what happened.”
“Now, with Coolie No. 1, I am waiting to see the true potential of an online released film. This film is pure masala, it’s a pure David Dhawan entertainer. People are going to draw comparisons, but see the actors in the 1995 release are irreplaceable, be it Govinda sir, Shakti Kapoor or Kader Khan sahab. But let’s not forget that we have the same captain of the ship. We have David Dhawan sir directing us as well. And we are not trying to outdo them, this is not a competition. We are just doing our own thing; we are just doing it as actors in 2020. So, I am just waiting to see the true potential of an OTT release with Coolie No. 1 where nobody can hinge the success of the film on the passing of an actor,” he added.
Coolie No. 1 stars Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles. It is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on 25th December 2020.
Mukerji parts ways with YRF’s Dhoom 4 after reported creative disagreements.
Decision said to be amicable, with Aditya Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor supportive.
Director shifts focus to Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, expected to begin filming in 2026.
Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise
Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.
Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
A source quoted in the report said, “Ayan didn’t have much say in the screenplay and didn’t want to embark on another journey of just execution.”
Amicable parting after discussions with Aditya Chopra
Before stepping away, Mukerji is believed to have held several discussions with YRF head Aditya Chopra and actor Ranbir Kapoor. Both reportedly supported his decision, with insiders describing the split as “completely amicable.”
The director’s departure does not mark the end of Dhoom 4, as YRF plans to continue with the project under a new director. The studio may also reconsider casting options, despite earlier reports that Ranbir Kapoor had set aside dates for the film.
Focus returns to the Brahmastra universe
Following his exit from Dhoom 4, Mukerji has shifted attention back to his passion project—the Brahmastra series. The filmmaker is currently developing Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, the sequel to the 2022 fantasy epic.
The film, initially expected to begin production earlier, is now likely to go on floors in 2026. Sources suggest Mukerji intends to expand the Astraverse with more depth in storytelling, combining elements of mythology, drama, and spectacle.
