Starring Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, and Harshvardhan Rane in lead roles, Bollywood film Haseen Dillruba is set to release digitally on Netflix, the streamer announced on Thursday. The streaming media giant has set July 2, 2021, for the digital premiere of the much-awaited film.
Directed by Vinil Mathew from the script written by well-known screenwriter Kanika Dhillon, Haseen Dillruba is a murder mystery that revolves around a woman who finds herself entangled in the murder of her own husband.
Pannu, who is known for playing a diverse range of characters in films across languages, took to Twitter to share the announcement teaser of the film. “Kahani Aashiqana. Raaz Katilana. Haseen Dillruba coming soon. Only on Netflix,” wrote the actress who won the prestigious Filmfare Award for delivering a strong performance in her last release Thappad (2020), directed by Anubhav Sinha.
Successful filmmaker Aanand L Rai has bankrolled Haseen Dillruba under his production house Colour Yellow Productions in collaboration with Eros International and Himanshu Sharma.
The film was initially scheduled to have a theatrical release in September 2020. However, the makers had to push it indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic which had delayed filming by several months. The team wrapped up the shoot in the month of October 2020. Earlier this year, Netflix announced that the film would stream on its platform.
Apart from Haseen Dillruba, Taapsee Pannu has almost half a dozen interesting projects on her platter right now. Some of her upcoming films include Looop Lapeta, Shabaash Mithu, Dobaaraa, Rashmi Rocket, and Woh Ladki Hai Kahan. Each film presents her in a different avatar. While she has already wrapped up some of them, others are set to roll as soon as filming is allowed in Mumbai.

Big B defends his choice to praise Abhishek openly and others privately
Amitabh Bachchan reveals why he praises Abhishek publicly but not Jaya or Aishwarya
Quick highlights:
Amitabh Bachchan has responded to online comments asking why he often praises son Abhishek Bachchan on social media but not wife Jaya Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai, or daughter Shweta. The actor explained that while he chooses to support Abhishek publicly, he honours the women in his family privately, saying he prefers to respect them “in his heart.”
Bachchan defends Abhishek praise, addresses fan remarks online
The 81-year-old actor, who regularly shares photos and thoughts with fans, recently posted images of himself meeting admirers outside his Mumbai home, Jalsa. Captioned “Yes, I praise Abhishek. So?”, the post sparked comments from users questioning why he doesn’t do the same for Jaya, Aishwarya, or Shweta.
Responding directly, Bachchan wrote, “Yes, I shall praise them in my heart… not publicly… respect for the ladies.” His reply quickly circulated across platforms, with many praising his thoughtful answer. Others pointed to his tendency to engage more often when defending Abhishek, especially around film releases.
Bachchan also shut down a user accusing him of having “paid fans,” bluntly replying, “Prove it! You are small-minded… why don’t you pay and get fans too?” When another person mocked those waiting outside his home as “unemployed,” he replied with characteristic wit: “So give them a job? When they stand at the gate of Jalsa, they are EMPLOYED in love.”
Actor remains active on social media while juggling film projects
Bachchan has become increasingly interactive online in recent years, often directly responding to criticism and fan feedback. Meanwhile, Abhishek was last seen in Housefull 5, a multi-starrer comedy that released earlier this month. Jaya Bachchan appeared in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023, while Aishwarya Rai was part of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan films. Despite the online chatter, Amitabh continues to walk his own path, on-screen and online.
