Shraddha Kapoor’s Batti Gul Meter Chalu and Stree avoid clash

Actress Shraddha Kapoor’s two forthcoming films, Batti Gul Meter Chalu and Stree, which were scheduled to hit the marquee on the same date, will not collide at the box-office anymore.

Earlier, both films were gearing up to battle it out at the ticket window on 31st August. However, according to sources, only Stree will release on 31st August while the makers of Batti Gul Meter Chalu are planning to shift their film to September.


A source reveals to an Indian daily, “It doesn’t make sense to have two films of an actor coming on the same day. So, while Stree will release on August 31, BGMC will come in September, the final release date will be locked by the producers in a few days.”

Stree, which stars Shraddha Kapoor opposite Rajkummar Rao, will now lock horns with veteran actor Rishi Kapoor’s Rajma Chawal on the same day.

Besides Stree and Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Shraddha will also be seen in Prabhas’s Saaho. She is also doing a biopic on ace badminton player, Saina Nehwal. The biopic is titled Saina.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
