Actor Sunny Ghanshani is a hard-working man. The actor, who hails from Bilaspur, Chattisgarh, is currently playing the role of Philip in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Porus. Sunny is using a prosthetic patch in his eyes which is indeed hard to keep on for long hours.
Speaking on the look and the preparation Sunny says,"I was 75 kg and was asked to gain body muscle and I worked according to that and also gained weight. In three months time, I got the required muscles as well."
Sunny also adds,"I had appeared for 4 look tests along with Sameksha who plays Olympia and Rohit Purohit who plays Alexander. The eye patch which I wear in my eye is prosthetic. In extreme weather conditions and especially during heat it is difficult."
The introduction scene of Olympia and Philip was different and had a rape sequence. Sunny and Sameksha executed the scene brilliantly. Sunny says,"I have just followed Siddharth Sir's conviction in the show. Thanks to Sameksha also. She is an excellent actress and helped me in the scene. The rape scene was shot on the third day after we met. Thus both of us were extremely cautious while shooting." But at the end, the hard work paid off.
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.
