Ayushmann Khurrana Celebrates 8 Years Of Bareilly Ki Barfi With A Sepcial Teaser
Bareilly Ki Barfi completed eight years and Ayushmann Khurrana celebrated the milestone by sharing a special teaser from the film on his social media.
Bareilly Ki Barfi remains a fan favourite for its funny yet realistic story that audiences could relate to. The film featured Kriti Sanon, Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead roles, who brought the characters of Bitti, Chirag, and Pritam Vidrohi to life. Recently, the movie completed eight years and Ayushmann celebrated the milestone by sharing a special teaser from the film on his social media. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the movie was not only a commercial success at the box office but also received praise from critics and several award nominations.
Earlier this year, the movie was re-released in theatres, giving fans a chance to enjoy the film on the big screen once again. Audiences were thrilled to revisit the story and characters after so many years. Even eight years after its original release, the movie continues to remain one of Bollywood's most loved romantic dramas, remembered for its humour, charm and relatable characters.
Whenever a film does well, people often ask about a sequel, but Bareilly Ki Barfi director, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, is not interested in making one. She explained that the story of the main characters, Bitti, Chirag and Pritam Vidrohi, reached its natural conclusion.
Speaking with Times Now, the filmmaker explained, 'I'm not a very big fan of sequels, contrary to the fact I know that it is nice to have sequels because you always lap onto the past and move forward. But, a sequel has to be so good that it has to be better than your previous one. It has to surpass the expectations of the previous one and has to also be in the time and age of when you're telling that story. Bareilly Ki Barfi happened eight years back."
'At that time, Lucknow and Bareilly were called midtowns. Now they're cities. A lot of things have changed in eight years. The roads are better, the way they dress has changed and standard of living has improved. There's a lot of work and a lot of thinking. I am always very careful. Are you making sequels for the heck of making a sequel or you are doing it because you really want to make it and it does make sense," Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari added.
Based on Nicolas Barreau's novel, The Ingredients of Love, other than Kriti Sanon, Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana, Bareilly Ki Barfi also features Pankaj Tripathi and Seema Pahwa.

Justin Baldoni Reacts To 'It Ends With Us' Actor Isabela's Harassment Claims: 'Inappropriate Attack'
Last Updated: Justin Baldoni rejects Isabela Ferrer's bullying and harassment allegations, calling her claims 'without merit' in ongoing legal dispute over It Ends With Us. Justin Baldoni has officially addressed accusations made by Isabela Ferrer, who claimed she faced bullying and harassment from the It Ends With Us director. The allegations emerged amid a legal battle involving Blake Lively, according to People. Isabela Ferrer's Allegations Against Justin Baldoni Isabela Ferrer, who portrayed the younger version of Blake Lively's character Lily, alleged that Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios treated her unfairly during legal proceedings. Her legal team said that after being subpoenaed by Blake Lively's side earlier this year, Ferrer requested reimbursement for her legal costs as per her contract. According to her attorneys, Wayfarer Studios refused payment unless Ferrer allowed them to control her response to Lively's subpoena. Her lawyers further claimed that Baldoni attempted to manipulate and intimidate her through 'inappropriate conduct" during the process. Justin Baldoni's Response In court documents filed on Monday, August 18, Baldoni's legal team strongly denied these claims. People obtained filings in which his lawyers described Ferrer's allegations as 'primarily an inappropriate attack upon Mr. Baldoni and his counsel relating to matters not before the Court and irrelevant." Baldoni's attorneys argued that the subpoena from his side was valid, aiming to collect documents either not previously provided or outside the scope of her original subpoena from Lively's team in February. They added that issuing the subpoena does not constitute harassment, calling her claims 'without merit." The Bigger Picture This dispute has heightened tension in the ongoing high-profile legal situation surrounding It Ends With Us. In January, Baldoni publicly shared a text exchange with Ferrer, indicating that the conflict had been simmering for months. The trial is officially scheduled for March 2026.

Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Rajinikanth Film Earns Rs 214 Crore Despite Dip
Last Updated: Rajinikanth's Coolie earns Rs 214 crore in India in 6 days. Despite weekday dip, the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial has crossed Rs 400 crore worldwide. Superstar Rajinikanth's latest release Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is witnessing a steady decline in its weekday box office numbers. However, the film has still managed to cross Rs 200 crore in India and Rs 400 crore worldwide, solidifying its place as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year despite stiff competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. As per trade portal Sacnilk, Coolie collected Rs 8.11 crore net in India on Tuesday, taking its six-day total to Rs 214.61 crore. The film had a massive opening day with Rs 65 crore, followed by Rs 54.75 crore on Friday, showing a 15% dip. Over the weekend, collections stood at Rs 39.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 35.25 crore on Sunday. Monday witnessed a drop to Rs 12 crore, but still remained steady for a weekday. With this, Coolie has not only crossed Rs 200 crore in India but also surpassed Rs 400 crore globally, entering the list of Rajinikanth's highest-grossing films. Competition and Comparisons While Coolie is leading ahead of War 2, which is still playing in theatres, it faces competition from other big releases like Saiyaara (Rs 324.75 crore net in India) and Chhaava (Rs 601.57 crore net in India). Despite this, trade experts believe Coolie is holding its ground and will continue to perform well in the coming days. However, it is yet to beat the lifetime business of Lokesh Kanagaraj's previous blockbusters. His 2022 film Vikram grossed Rs 247 crore net in India, while Leo minted an impressive Rs 341.04 crore net. About the film Coolie follows the story of Deva, played by Rajinikanth, a former union leader who sets out to uncover the truth behind his friend Rajasekhar's (Sathyaraj) death. His quest leads him into a fierce battle with gangster Simon (Nagarjuna) and his aide Dayal (Soubin Shahir). The film also stars Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Upendra and Aamir Khan in key roles. Though the film has received mixed reviews, fans continue to throng theatres, ensuring Coolie stays strong at the box office.
