Elvish Yadav To Make Acting Debut After Winning Two Reality Shows? Here's What We Know
After taking over the internet and reality television, YouTuber-turned-reality star Elvish Yadav is now ready to test new waters as an actor. The popular content creator, who enjoys a massive following online, has officially begun shooting for his debut OTT series in Bhopal, marking a significant transition in his already multifaceted career.
Known for his sharp wit, unapologetic humour, and a fiercely loyal fanbase, Elvish has long expressed interest in moving beyond digital content. A source close to the development revealed to India Today, 'Elvish has been looking to transition into acting for a while now, and this project aligns perfectly with his vision. He is shooting in Bhopal and is quite excited about the new phase of his career."
Though this marks his first foray into the OTT space in an acting role, Elvish is no stranger to the screen. He has appeared in several music videos over the years, often trending within hours of release. However, a full-fledged series offers a different kind of challenge, and fans are eager to see whether Elvish can deliver a compelling performance in a scripted format.
His acting debut comes on the heels of yet another reality TV triumph. On July 27, Elvish and Karan Kundra were crowned winners of Laughter Chefs Season 2, a celebrity cooking show that combined humour with culinary chaos. Following the win, Elvish expressed his gratitude in a heartfelt tweet: 'One more trophy added! We won LC Season 2. Thank you everyone for showering so much love and support throughout the season. Words can't express how grateful I am. Thank you for always supporting me. Love you all."
Earlier this year, the internet was abuzz with rumours that Elvish had been approached for Khatron Ke Khiladi. While fans were thrilled at the prospect, plans for the upcoming season were reportedly shelved, leaving many disappointed.
Now, with cameras rolling in Bhopal, all eyes are on Elvish Yadav as he prepares to make his mark in the world of OTT drama. Will his next big leap win over critics and viewers alike? Time will tell — but if history is any indication, Elvish knows how to keep the spotlight firmly on himself.

Last Updated: It all began on August 1, when Dhanush attended Mrunal's star-studded birthday bash. A now-viral inside video from the party shows the actor holding Mrunal's hand. Are Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur the newest couple in B-town? The internet certainly seems to think so. Dating rumours are gaining momentum after the two were spotted sharing warm moments at multiple recent events. It all began on August 1, when Dhanush attended Mrunal's star-studded birthday bash. A now-viral inside video from the party shows the actor holding Mrunal's hand during an intimate interaction, instantly setting social media abuzz. Adding fuel to the fire, just hours earlier, Dhanush was also seen flying to Mumbai to attend the special screening of Son of Sardaar 2, which stars Mrunal alongside Ajay Devgn. A video from the event, shared widely on X (formerly Twitter), captured the duo in conversation. Mrunal can be seen leaning in to whisper something to Dhanush, sparking even more curiosity among fans. 'Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur are dating?" one caption read, triggering a range of fan reactions. 'Unconfirmed, but there are some hints," one user commented. 'I think they are just friends," said another. A few expressed disbelief, with one fan writing, 'Really? I can't believe."

On July 3, the actress was seen at a party hosted by writer-producer Kanika Dhillon for Dhanush's upcoming film Tere Ishk Mein. In pictures shared by Kanika, Mrunal and Dhanush were seen posing together, smiling brightly with the film's team in the background. Kanika's caption added a sentimental touch: 'Our hearts are full!

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's film witnesses drop amid tough competition from Saiyaara
Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's comedy-drama released in theatres on August 1 and clashed with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2. While the film has managed to stay ahead of Dhadak 2, it is still struggling at the box office and has now seen a decline in collections on its first Monday. Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn headlines the comedy with Mrunal Thakur and Ravi Kishan for company. Son of Sardaar 2 witnesses a dip on first Monday According to Sacnilk, Ajay's film closed its opening weekend with ₹24.75 crore (earning ₹7.25 crore on Day 1, ₹8.25 crore on Day 2, and ₹9.25 crore on Day 3). However, the film failed to maintain momentum at the box office on its first Monday, earning just ₹1.88 crore. The total collection of the movie now stands at ₹26.63 crore. While the film continues to race ahead of Dhadak 2, it has clearly faced tough competition from Saiyaara. Ajay's film earned slightly more than what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara collected on Monday, which marked its 18th day at the box office. Saiyaara earned ₹1.82 crore, according to the trade tracking site, taking its total box office collection to ₹301.29 crore. Mrunal Thakur, the film's female lead, was seen encouraging viewers to watch the movie in theatres and decide its fate for themselves. When a fan tweeted about the film's mixed reviews on social media, saying, 'The way the reviews are on Instagram and YouTube, I don't even feel like watching it anymore,' Mrunal responded, 'Most of the reviews are misleading… I would appreciate if you decide how YOU LIKE IT SIR!' About Son of Sardaar 2 The sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar follows the story of Ajay's character, Jassi, who is called to London by his wife (played by Neeru Bajwa), only to be blindsided by her demand for a divorce. Stranded and heartbroken, he crosses paths with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a spirited member of an all-girl wedding dhol band. Rabia's younger sister, Saba (Roshni Walia), is in love with the son of the stern and traditional Raja (Ravi Kishan), who insists on meeting her parents before giving his approval. The problem? Saba's parents are no more. To keep the romance alive, Jassi agrees to pose as her father, an ex-army colonel, while Rabia plays the mother. What follows is a hilarious and chaotic ride of twists, emotional beats, and drama. The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and Deepak Dobriyal's performances and comic timing were widely appreciated by both critics and audiences.
