Set against a nostalgic backdrop, it introduces Karthi and Subbu as two inseparable friends who spend their days getting into mischief. Their carefree camaraderie, however, appears destined to change with the arrival of Dorothy, played by Keerthy Suresh.<br><br>As the teaser unfolds, it hints at growing tensions between the two friends, suggesting that Dorothy's presence could become the catalyst for an emotional rift. Without relying on lengthy dialogues or dramatic reveals, the teaser builds intrigue through expressive visuals and understated moments, leaving much of the narrative open to interpretation.<br><br>Ilaiyaraaja's evocative score complements the film's vintage setting, lending the teaser a sense of warmth, longing and melancholy. The visuals, coupled with the music, point towards a character-driven drama that places equal emphasis on emotion and atmosphere.<br><br>Sharing the teaser on X, Keerthy Suresh described the film's emotional core, writing, "Some journeys begin long before the road. Some calls can never be undone. And some bonds are tested by a world determined to tear them apart. This is not just a story of friendship. It's a story of everything that stands in its way."<br>

Backed by filmmaker Pa Ranjith under his Neelam Studios banner, the film is positioned as an action drama that blends personal conflict with larger social realities.<br><br>The first-look poster presents Manikandan in the role of a police officer standing amid blazing ruins, hinting at a story shaped by violence, resistance and moral conflict. The striking visual sets the tone for a film that appears to place its protagonist at the centre of a deeply fractured world.<br><br>Opening up about what drew him to the project, Manikandan said, "Makkal Kaavalan is a unique action drama rooted in cultural and ethnic disputes. The originality and honesty in the script gave me all the compelling reasons to take it up. The film is gripping, intense, and very timely for today's world."<br><br>The actor has steadily built a reputation for choosing unconventional stories, with acclaimed performances in films such as Good Night, Lover and Kudumbasthan. With Makkal Kaavalan, he appears set to headline another character-driven drama that balances commercial appeal with socially relevant themes.<br><br><strong>A story of integrity within a broken system</strong><br><br>Makkal Kaavalan marks the feature directorial debut of Santhosh Kumar, who has also written the film. According to the filmmaker, the story draws heavily from real-life observations and lived experiences.<br><br>"The film is inspired by the people I have met, the experiences I have lived through, and the realities I have witnessed. At its core, Makkal Kaavalan explores the hierarchies within systems of power and the inequalities they create. It also tells the story of an honest man and the challenges he faces while trying to uphold his integrity within that system," he said.<br><br>

<br>The makers describe the film as an action drama centred on an ordinary man whose determination to live with dignity inside a corrupt system gradually transforms him into a leader he never expected to become.

<div><span>Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chlo&eacute; Zhao's Hamnet is set to premiere on OTT&nbsp;</span><span>on August 7</span><span>, bringing one of the most acclaimed literary adaptations of recent years to Indian audiences. Based on Maggie O'Farrell's bestselling 2020 novel of the same name, the historical drama reimagines the personal tragedy that is believed to have inspired William Shakespeare's Hamlet.<br><br></span></div>
<div>Rather than focusing on the playwright's legacy, the film centres on his wife Agnes, their son Hamnet and the devastating grief that reshapes their family after the young boy's death during the plague. Led by Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Jacobi Jupe and Emily Watson, Hamnet explores themes of love, loss, faith and creativity through an intimate portrait of the Shakespeare family. Ahead of its streaming debut, the cast and director opened up about the film's emotional core, their characters and the relationships that brought the story to life.<br>
<div class="img-c-wrap" style="max-width: 980px; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.filmfare.com/media/content/2026/aug/hamnetchloezhao1785997895.jpg" width="980" height="747" alt="hamnet" class="ed-img" /></div>
Director Chloe Zhao, who adapted the novel for the screen alongside Maggie O'Farrell, said she was immediately drawn to the story's exploration of grief, and the role imagination can play in making sense of loss.</div>
<div>"I was very excited because the story touches on death and impermanence and grief and how the act of creativity and imagination could give meaning to the inevitable suffering that we go through in life. When you have source material like that, it's gold."<br><br></div>
<div>Jacobi Jupe, who plays Hamnet, recalled how naturally his bond with Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal developed during filming, helping them portray a believable family on screen. "We imagined we were this family, and we would all say things and have memories about what had happened. Jessie and Paul, they instantly felt like my mum and dad, and I'm not even kidding. We've been like a real family."<br><br></div>
<div>Emily Watson, who plays Mary Shakespeare, sheds light on a character whose protective instincts often come into conflict with Agnes. "Mary is incandescent partly because she's terrified by the news. Agnes represents everything that is dangerous. This is a time when anything outside religion is not safe. This isn't the plan she's had. When Will was a baby, the plague was in Stratford, and Mary was sort of in lockdown with him and managed to keep him safe. That's an incredibly intense connection, I think, between a mother and child, however your relationship develops over time."<br>
<div class="img-c-wrap" style="max-width: 616px; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.filmfare.com/media/content/2026/aug/hamnetchloezhao21785998027.jpg" width="616" height="514" alt="hamnet" class="ed-img" /></div>
Jessie Buckley, who stars as Agnes Shakespeare, also reflected on the trust she shared with her co-stars, describing how their connection helped shape some of the film's most emotional moments.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>"He is such a gentle, sensitive, gigantic force of a man. The trust we had between each other as actors allowed us to totally shed our skin and give each other our hearts. Jacobi, he is such a clever, deep little man who knows exactly what is required of him and has such access to go somewhere so deep. He's so special; my heart is just blasted open by him."<br><br></div>
<div><span>Hamnet will now be available to stream on Lionsgate Play in India&nbsp;</span><span>from August 7.</span></div>

According to reports, director Atlee had meticulously planned the shoot well in advance, with Deepika&rsquo;s portions scheduled on priority to avoid delays. Her maternity leave was factored into the production timeline from the outset, allowing filming to continue smoothly without any last-minute disruptions.<br><br>Deepika recently completed a schedule with co-star Allu Arjun in Mumbai. Although the film&rsquo;s release date is yet to be announced, production continues to progress as planned.<br><br>
<div class="img-c-wrap" style="max-width: 1080px; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.filmfare.com/media/content/2026/aug/deepikapadukone1785996684.jpg" width="1080" height="1350" alt="Deepika Padukone" class="ed-img" /></div>
<h2><strong>Careful scheduling</strong></h2>
Coordinating a major production around an actor&rsquo;s extended absence is a significant logistical challenge. For large-scale films like Raaka, which involve expansive sets, elaborate action sequences and substantial budgets, meticulous planning is essential. By carefully structuring the schedule in consultation with Allu Arjun and the rest of the team, the makers have managed to maintain the film&rsquo;s momentum while accommodating Deepika Padukone&rsquo;s personal milestone.<br><br>The actress&rsquo; association with the sci-fi action entertainer was officially announced last year. The announcement video generated considerable buzz online with its high-octane background score and stylish title reveal, hinting at a significant role for Deepika in the film.<br><br>

<h2><strong>King, another major commitment</strong></h2>
Apart from Raaka, which marks Deepika&rsquo;s second collaboration with director Atlee after Jawan, the actress is also part of King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the action drama also stars Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in pivotal roles. The film is slated for a theatrical release on December 24, 2026.<br><br>Deepika enjoyed a remarkable run at the box office with Pathaan and Jawan in 2023. In 2024, she starred as an Air Force pilot in Fighter, followed by the blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD. She also joined Rohit Shetty&rsquo;s Cop Universe as Shakti Shetty in Singham Again, further showcasing her versatility across large-scale commercial entertainers.<br><br><strong>Also Read</strong>:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/report-deepika-padukone-shoots-through-her-third-trimester-for-raaka-84976.html" title="Report: Deepika Padukone Shoots Through Her Third Trimester for Raaka" data-link-type="cust-related-links" target="_blank">Report: Deepika Padukone Shoots Through Her Third Trimester for Raaka</a>]]></content:encoded><media:content url="" medium="image"><media:title type="html">Filmfare</media:title></media:content><media:content url="https://filmfare.wwmindia.com/content/2026/aug/deepikapadukoneatlee1785996624.jpg" medium="image" /><filmfare:origLink>https://www.filmfare.com/news/south/raaka-filmmakers-ensured-deepika-padukones-pregnancy-didnt-stop-the-shoot-85254.html</filmfare:origLink></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shiboprosad Mukherjees first look from Bohurupi: The Golden Daku unveiled ]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/shiboprosad-mukherjees-first-look-from-bohurupi-the-golden-daku-unveiled-85253.html]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/shiboprosad-mukherjees-first-look-from-bohurupi-the-golden-daku-unveiled-85253.html#comments]]></comments><pubDate>2026-08-06 11:21:24</pubDate><dc:creator>Filmfare</dc:creator><category><![CDATA[Features]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/shiboprosad-mukherjees-first-look-from-bohurupi-the-golden-daku-unveiled-85253.html</guid><description><![CDATA[<a href = "https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/shiboprosad-mukherjees-first-look-from-bohurupi-the-golden-daku-unveiled-85253.html"><img src="https://filmfare.wwmindia.com/content/2026/aug/shiboprosadmukherjeeth1785940107.jpg" /></a><p>Shiboprosad Mukherjee reprises Bikram Pramanik in Bohurupi: The Golden Daku.</p> <p><a href = "https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/shiboprosad-mukherjees-first-look-from-bohurupi-the-golden-daku-unveiled-85253.html">Continue reading ...</a></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.filmfare.com/media/content/2026/aug/shiboprosadmukherjeeth1785940107.jpg" /> <div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">After creating immense anticipation around Bohurupi: The Golden Daku, the makers have finally unveiled the first-look character poster of Shiboprosad Mukherjee, offering audiences a striking glimpse into one of the film's most awaited avatars.</div>

This time, I reprise the character in the second installment of Bohurupi&mdash;Bohurupi: The Golden Daku, which is set to hit the big screens this Durga Puja. As part of Windows Production's 25th anniversary celebrations, this film is our second offering to the audience. The scale of this production has been truly remarkable. We shot across 96 locations, with nearly 2,500 artists, including both principal and supporting performers, coming together for this journey. Filming took place across Hasnabad, Taki, Barasat, Bardhaman, Bolpur, Bishnupur, Malda, and several other locations. Just like the first film, the talented Bohurupi folk artists have once again been an integral part of the story. A special highlight this time is the participation of Gambhira folk artists from Malda, whose traditional songs, masks, and performances add a unique cultural richness to the film."<br><br></div>
<div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">It continued, "The shooting schedule had to be postponed due to the elections, and filming in the scorching heat of May was incredibly challenging. What seemed almost impossible became possible because of the unwavering dedication of Team Bohurupi. The entire credit goes to our cast, crew, and the incredible team of technicians, whose hard work, passion, and commitment turned every challenge into an achievement."<br><br>

<h2 dir="auto"><strong>Kajol's prediction comes true</strong></h2>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">The veteran actor recently noticed a remarkable coincidence. August 5 marks Kajol's birthday, and in an Instagram Story, Anil wished her while reminiscing about their time together on the sets of Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain (1999), which was shot at Ramoji Film City.<br><br>He recalled that Kajol had jokingly predicted that years later, even after getting married and having children, he would still be working at the same location. Her words proved prophetic, as Anil found himself back at Ramoji Film City on her birthday, this time shooting for Dragon. Calling it a "true blessing," he expressed his hope of collaborating with Kajol again soon.<br><br>

<h2 dir="auto"><strong>A return to Telugu cinema after 46 years</strong></h2>
<div dir="auto">Dragon marks Anil Kapoor's return to Telugu cinema after 46 years. He made his Telugu debut in Bapu's 1980 film Vamsa Vruksham, which also marked his first leading role as an actor. During the promotions of Animal in Hyderabad in 2023, Anil fondly recalled that experience, crediting the film with teaching him discipline. He revealed that he used to wake up at 4 a.m. every day to prepare for the demanding shoot.<br><br>In Dragon, Anil Kapoor plays Raghuveer Rathod, the Chief of India's Narcotics Bureau. Set against the backdrop of the opium trade in the 1960s, the film follows Jr NTR's character, Luger, the ruthless assassin-in-chief of the Afghan Trading Company.<br><br>Rathod emerges as the principal force standing against Luger and his sprawling criminal empire. The battle between the Narcotics Bureau and the trading syndicate forms the central conflict of the film.

He shared a sarcastic post on social media that read, "Students protesting in Jharkhand. Let's all ignore them, what could possibly go wrong." The remark comes just days after he joined a student protest in Mumbai.<br><br>Imran made his acting debut as a lead in 2008 with Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, directed by Abbas Tyrewala. Before that, audiences had seen him as a child actor in films starring his uncle, Aamir Khan, including Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander.<br><br>

<br>In&nbsp;an interview with Filmfare last year, Imran reflected on his early years in the industry. He said he would tell his younger self to be less fearful and more open to adventure and experimentation. According to the actor, early success often brings advisers with strong opinions about what is right or wrong, leading young actors to believe those voices always know best. He added that true creativity flourishes in freedom rather than in trying to meet others' expectations.</div>
<h2 dir="auto"><strong>Preparing for his comeback</strong></h2>
<div dir="auto">After&nbsp;Katti Batti in 2015, Imran said he "stopped taking films just because they came my way and began seeking deeper meaning in my work." Speaking to Filmfare, he shared, "I realised I was scared and emotionally closed off. Admitting that and committing to emotional and psychological growth became a turning point for me around mid-2016."<br><br>

Madhavan plays Ajay Sanyal, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau. Many have speculated that his character is closely modelled on India's National Security Advisor (NSA), Ajit Doval. Aditya Dhar's directorial has sparked widespread debate, with some critics accusing it of functioning as political propaganda. In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, Madhavan addressed the criticism surrounding the film and also responded to being labelled a "Sanghi."<br><br></span></p>

<h2 class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span>&lsquo;No political party approached me&rsquo;</span></b></h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span>Responding to the criticism surrounding Dhurandhar on social media, Madhavan maintained that his views stem from personal values rather than political affiliations. He explained why he believes in standing by democratically elected leaders.<br><br>"The easiest way to find out is to check the username and see how many followers they have. You can figure out if it is a bot or a paid post," the actor said.<br>Reflecting on his upbringing, Madhavan shared that he was taught from childhood to put the country first. He pointed out that he has never spoken negatively about any political party or politician in his interviews or on social media.<br><br>"No political party has asked me to join them. So, when I read such comments, I feel they are coming out of frustration, but they don't affect my decision-making," he said.<br><br>He further added that if a sportsperson makes the country proud, it is only natural to celebrate the achievement. "If someone feels bad about that, then their intent has to be questioned," the Tanu Weds Manu actor remarked.</span><span><br><br></span></p>

<h2 class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span>On being labeled a 'Sanghi'</span></b></h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Madhavan also spoke about frequently being labelled a "Sanghi" because of his social media posts celebrating India's achievements. He recalled that even Rocketry: The Nambi Effect was criticised by some for showcasing "too much Indian tradition and culture."</p>
<br>"How is it wrong to be an Indian? Why can't I show that I'm Indian?
