Actors Malavika Mohanan and Siddhant Chaturvedi are gearing up for the release of their much-awaited film Yudhra. Amid the film’s promotions, they revealed that during the shoot of one of the action scenes, Malavika slapped Siddhant so hard that his jaw almost broke.

During an interaction with ETimes, Malavika recalled, “Siddhant got slapped real bad, we shot for this scene in the first schedule of the film, and we were still building our chemistry. In the scene, my character is pissed with Yudhra’s character, and it was our director Ravi (Udyawar) sir who got extremely excited, and said ‘Arey tu maar’… and the very next moment, Siddhant is sitting with an ice pack on his face.”

“And we broke the ice and my jaw,” Siddhant joked.

Malavika went on to say that it would have looked really fake had she not hit Siddhant in real. The actress also had some intense action scenes with actor Chiyaan Vikram in their latest film Thangalaan.

Meanwhile, the trailer as well as the songs of Yudhra have created quite a buzz on social media. Malavika and Siddhant’s sizzling chemistry in the song Saathiya has also grabbed eyeballs. In another recent interview, Malavika also opened up about shooting intimate scenes with Siddhant.

“It’s not easy to crack intimacy and be comfortable with it. Nowadays, they have intimacy coordinators on set, which is a very good thing. It’s important to know boundaries. The process of intimacy isn’t as simple as just doing it. Coordinators are making it easier. More than the intimacy, what we were concerned about was the cold while shooting for the song. In that video, we had to shoot a couple of intimate moments where we had to kiss. We were against the waves, completely drenched, and it was freezing!

Yudhra is all set to hit the big screens on September 20. Siddhant’s character, who has anger issues, will be seen packing punches as he is on a mission to eliminate a drug lord played by Raghav Juyal. The film also stars Gajraj Rao, Ram Kapoor, Raj Arjun and Shilpa Shukla.

Ajay Devgn is starring in back-to-back franchise movies. This year, we saw him in Raid 2, Son of Sardaar 2, and De De Pyaar De 2. Next year, he already has Dhamaal 4 lined up, and on Monday, the release date of Drishyam 3 was officially announced. The movie will hit the big screens on October 2, 2026.

Ajay took to Instagram to inform his fans about it. He posted an announcement video and right, “Aakhri hissa baaki hai. In cinemas on 2nd October, 2026 (sic)” Check out the announcement video below…

While the release of Shah Rukh Khan starrer King has not been officially announced, there have been reports that the movie will be releasing during the Gandhi Jayanti weekend. So, will be Ajay Devgn vs Shah Rukh Khan at the box office?

If the clash happens, this won’t be for the first time when Ajay’s film will be clashing SRK’s movie. In 2012, Ajay starrer Son Of Sardaar and SRK’s Jab Tak Hain Jaan had hit the big screens together during Diwali.

Both movies had done well at the box office, but Jab Tak Hai Jaan had collected a bit more than Son of Sardaar. The former minted Rs. 120.87 crore at the box office, the latter collected Rs. 105.10 crore.

We are sure now everyone is keen for the official announcement of King’s release date. For now, all the Holidays have been booked by other films. So, let’s see if King will clash with any movie, or will opt to release on a non-Holiday weekend.

Apart from Ajay, Drishyam 3 also stars Tabu and Shriya Saran. The part 2 also featured Akshaye Khanna, but in the announcement video his name is not mentioned.

Messi landed in Mumbai on Sunday as part of his India tour. However, he encountered an embarrassing situation in Kolkata, where he ended up spending only 20 minutes, despite a promised time of 2 hours.

The footballer was forced to leave early as the situation at the Salt Lake stadium turned unpredictable after political and influential figures tried hijacking the event, irking fans, who did not get a chance to see the football player even after paying thousands on tickets.

After Kolkata, Messi made a stop in Hyderabad and then Mumbai as part of his itinerary.

During his Mumbai visit, many bigwigs from Bollywood met the legendary footballer.

B-town beauty, Kareena Kapoor Khan, took her two boys, Taimur and Jeh, to meet Messi. Bebo was seen coming out of the Wankhede Stadium after meeting the footballer on Sunday.

While Kareena was dressed sharply in formals, her sons were seen wearing football jerseys. While Taimur wore the jersey with Messi’s name on it, Jeh was seen in a jersey with Argentina’s name.

Actress Shilpa Shetty also took her son, Viaan-Raj Kundra to meet the football legend at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

After coming out of the stadium following the meet, Shilpa told the media stationed outside the venue, “It was very nice. Iska (Viaan) ka toh dream poora ho gaya (Viaan’s dream has been fulfilled)”.
