Earlier in 2024, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported that Aamir Khan is in talks for the Ujjwal Nikam biopic with Avinash Arun as the director. The conversations eventually fizzled out as Aamir decided to sign on for a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke with Rajkumar Hirani.

According to sources close to the development, the Ujjwal Nikam biopic will go on floors in the last quarter of 2025 with a start-to-finish schedule. 'The prep-work for Ujjwal Nikam biopic is presently underway, and Rajkummar Rao is expected to undergo intense acting workshops to step into the shoes of a real-life lawyer. Several names were considered for the film, but eventually, Avinash felt that no one fits the bill like Rajkummar Rao,' revealed a source close to the development. The film will be produced by Dinesh Vijan under his banner, Maddock Films, and will focus on the controversial courtroom proceedings of the 1993 Bombay Blasts, as also the 2008 Mumbai Train Attacks.

BTS military hiatus linked to HYBE insider trading case, staff from Source Music, BigHit, Belift Lab get suspended sentences
In a stunning turn of events, BTS' mandatory military enlistment - which sent shockwaves through fans and markets alike in 2022 - has now led to insider trading convictions within their own company. While all seven members - Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook - reunited in June 2025 after completing their duties, this news of HYBE insider trading related to their hiatus has hit fans hard. Three employees from HYBE and its affiliated labels have been sentenced for using confidential information about the group's hiatus to sell company stock before the news became public. On July 22 KST, the Seoul Southern District Court's Criminal Division 13 (Presiding Judge Kim Sang Yeon) handed down suspended prison sentences to three individuals who sold HYBE shares just before BTS revealed their break from group activities due to enlistment, beginning with the eldest member, Jin. HYBE insider trading case Among those convicted was a Source Music employee, Mr. Kim (37), who received a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, along with a hefty fine of 231 million KRW (approx. $167,000 USD). Former BigHit Music employee Mr. Lee (33) and former Belift Lab staffer Mr. Kim (41) were each sentenced to six months in prison, also suspended for two years, with fines of 51 million and 65 million KRW, respectively. The insider trades occurred just ahead of BTS' bombshell June 14, 2022 announcement video, where the group confirmed a temporary hiatus as all seven members prepared to serve in South Korea's military. Following the video, HYBE's stock plummeted nearly 25% — its worst single-day fall on record. The court's verdict The court didn't mince words: "In the entertainment industry, an artist's group activity directly impacts company revenue. The suspension of BTS's activities was highly sensitive, material information." The judge added, "This crime gravely undermines the integrity of capital markets and warrants strong condemnation from society." About BTS The group, upon reuniting, has traveled to the USA for a two-month boot camp to regroup and begin working on their upcoming album. According to the members, the new album is slated for release in spring 2026. Currently, all members - except Jin, who is on his solo world tour - are together in Los Angeles. Rumours are also circulating that Jungkook may soon embark on a solo tour of his own. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.

BOYNEXTDOOR gives out free No Genre albums at supermarket, faces sales manipulation allegations
BOYNEXTDOOR, a fifth-generation K-pop group, released their 4th EP, No Genre, in May 2025, showcasing their growth and versatility as artists over the past two years. Despite their talent and devoted fan base, the group's album sales seem to be less than what they expected. Recently, they have been at the center of controversy after their albums were spotted being given away for free at a supermarket, as shared by a Nate Pann user. Is BOYNEXTDOOR giving out free No Genre albums to inflate sale numbers? According to post in the online discussion portal Nate Pann, the HYBE LABELS -owned BOYNEXTDOOR gave out No Genre albums as freebies with the purchase of instant rice worth over 20,000 KRW (14.41 USD). This move sparked intense reactions from netizens, including allegations of sales number manipulation. Notably, No Genre sold over 1.16 million copies in its first week– between May 13 and 19. This marked a significant achievement, showcasing the group's growing popularity. However, with the free album distribution issue coming to light, fans are doubting the authenticity of their million-seller status. Critics pointed to HYBE's alleged practices of pushing out album sales, which involves bulk sales to distributors with return clauses, potentially inflating sales numbers. Fans weigh on other possible reasons for BOYNEXTDOOR free album distribution The accusations of album sale number manipulation led to the undermining of hard work of Jaehyun, Sungho, Riwoo, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak. Many accused their agency, KOZ Entertainment, for the plight of the boys. Weighing on the probable reasons for the move, they predicted them trying to get rid of unsold albums in this way. They criticized the unethical practice and even called the group "flop." According to some, the reason might be potential promotional partnerships with the rice company. While mostly the reactions were negative, some dedicated ONEDOORs (BOYNEXTDOOR's fandom) defended their favourite artists, dismissing the allegations as unfounded. As per them, many spread hate by saying, "When it [HYBE groups] sells out it's hybe payola and when it doesn't it's nugu." The fans clapped back at such people, stating, "BOYNEXTDOOR DID A GREAT JOB AND YA IT'S TRUE OUR FANDOM IS SMALL BUT STRONG."
