Clashes have always turned out to be extremely detrimental to Bollywood films and incurred heavy losses, but yet filmmakers don’t deter from releasing two big films, featuring two stars, at the same date.

2017 started off with a clash between Raees and Kabil, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan respectively. While Kabil put up a great show at the ticket window, Raees failed to pull in the kind of collection a Shah Rukh Khan film should fetch.

The same happened with Ajay Devgn and Aamir Khan’s Golmaal Again and Secret Superstar respectively. While Golmaal Again went on to join the coveted Rs. 200 crore club, Secret Superstar wrapped up its box office run a little over Rs. 60 crores.

Learning no lessons from clashes in the past, many filmmakers are going to hock horns in 2018 also. The most interesting clash is going to happen between Sanjay Dutt and Shahid Kapoor as their films Sadak 2 and Batti Gul Meter Chalu respectively are set to release on August 31st 2018.

While Sadak 2 is a sequel to the Mahesh Bhatt directed film Sadak, Batti Gul Meter Chalu is a social drama film, to be helmed by Toilet: Ek Prem Katha fame Shree Narayan Singh. It will be interesting to see if the makers reshuffle their release date or arrive on the same day.

The 8-hour rebellion: Deepika Padukone walked off a blockbuster and lit a fire under Bollywood’s toxic work culture

It didn’t take a walkout on a picket line or a fiery press conference to shake the Indian film industry; it took Deepika Padukone quietly demanding, “Eight hours.” No dramatic monologue or sensational tweets. Just a simple request: humane hours, overtime pay, and a refusal to push her body and mind past the brink. And just like that, the conversation in Bollywood cracked wide open.

In an industry that glorifies overnight shoots, delayed pack-ups, and “dedication” measured in sweat, Padukone’s decision to exit a high-profile film, Spirit, over her demand for an eight-hour workday was certainly a career move for her. But beyond that, it was a cultural revolt.

Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway’s 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'

For the first time since the final Harry Potter film wrapped over a decade ago, Tom Felton is returning to the wizarding world, but not on screen. Instead, the actor is headed to Broadway, where he’ll take on the role of an adult Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The stage production, which continues the story 19 years after the original books, will now feature one of its most iconic characters portrayed by the man who first brought him to life.

Felton will join the cast at New York’s Lyric Theatre beginning 11 November 2025, for a limited 19-week run until 22 March 2026. This also marks his Broadway debut, making the moment doubly significant. Not only is he the first actor from the original film series to step into the stage version of the Potter universe, but he’ll be playing Draco at the exact age the character is in the play, creating a rare full-circle moment for both the actor and the fans.

Deepika Padukone still part of ‘Kalki 2’ say sources as exit rumours spread

There’s been a whirlwind of speculation surrounding Deepika Padukone’s association with two of the most high-profile films in Indian cinema right now: Spirit and Kalki 2898 AD Part 2. The latest buzz claims she might be walking out of Kalki 2, but the truth appears far less dramatic.

While social media and gossip pages have been buzzing with unconfirmed reports suggesting Deepika demanded fixed eight-hour shifts post-motherhood, allegedly causing trouble on set, the reality is, Kalki 2 hasn’t even started filming. In fact, it’s still in pre-production. No actors, including Deepika, have officially been signed or begun any work on the sequel, according to sources close to the film.
