Akshaye Khannas Akshardham Operation Vajra Shakti Slated For Theatrical Release On THIS Date
New Delhi: Zee Studios, in association with Contiloe Pictures, has announced the release of its upcoming action-thriller Akshardham: Operation Vajra Shakti, set to hit theatres worldwide on July 4, 2025.
Directed by Ken Ghosh and headlined by Akshaye Khanna, the film brings to life one of the most daring counter-terror operations in Indian history.
Inspired by the true events of the 2002 terrorist attack on the Akshardham Temple in Gujarat, the film captures the tense hours that followed, when Indian security forces launched Operation Vajra Shakti to neutralise the threat and restore peace. The film promises an immersive, edge-of-the-seat experience that honours the bravery, precision, and sacrifice of India's armed forces.
The first poster, recently revealed, evokes the eerie calm before chaos: the temple's towering pillars cloaked in shadows, with the silhouette of a commando poised for action, a powerful tribute to the silent strength of the country's protectors.
An act of terror met with unmatched bravery
The story of courage, sacrifice, and survival comes alive in #AkshardhamOperationVajraShakti
In Cinemas on 4th July, 2025. Stay tuned.#AkshayeKhanna @kenghosh #AbhimanyuSingh #UmeshKrBansal @girishjohar @DeshmukhPragati… pic.twitter.com/ZDjP3G0usu — Zee Studios (@ZeeStudios_) June 20, 2025
Produced by Abhimanyu Singh under the banner of Contiloe Pictures and presented by Zee Studios, Akshardham: Operation Vajra Shakti is positioned not just as an action spectacle but as a heartfelt homage to unsung heroes who stood tall in the face of terror.
With its emotionally charged narrative, high-octane action, and historical grounding, the film is set to be one of 2025's most anticipated theatrical releases.

We admire your sweet and sometimes chaotic relationship with Bapuji. Please convey my warm regards to Daya bhabhi, we all miss her unique 'Garba' and her unforgettable 'Hey Maa! Mataji!'. .Wishing you fewer problems from customers, a peaceful life in Gokuldham, and fewer scoldings from Bapuji.

Aerial yoga is the best form of workout and relaxation: Netri Trivedi
Netri Trivedi joins us for a shoot For Netri Trivedi , yoga 'helped me to overcome a tough phase of my life last year.' On International Day of Yoga, the actress, who recently completed shooting for Chaniya Toli, joined us for a shoot. She says, 'I would exercise in the gym before, but found it aggressive as a workout. Yoga is a more balanced and relaxing workout which helps me maintain my fitness and ensures good mental health.' Excerpts: ' Aerial Savasana is my favourite' I have been doing yoga for a while and I find aerial yoga fascinating. Two years ago, I started doing aerial yoga and it has been the best form of workout and relaxation. It also made me realise that there are so many asanas within aerial yoga. I enjoy doing asanas like aerial Surya Namaskar, but aerial Savasana is my favourite. Aerial yoga's antigravity nature helps you gain balance and posture while maintaining fitness. When you start getting older, your knees aren't able to carry your weight. But through aerial yoga, you learn how to hold yourself and allow your body to carry it. 'Today, I owe my mental and physical stability to yoga' Last year was difficult, with a lot of ups and downs in my life. But I didn't miss doing yoga for a single day, and it helped me overcome the struggles and anxiety. It would make me feel productive and release endorphins. There were many instances when I felt anxious, but doing some stretches would uplift my mood, sometimes even through tears. I owe a lot of my mental and physical stability to yoga today. 'Yoga is a 360-degree workout' Netri says, 'Today, life is unpredictable, and with the kind of lifestyle and diet we have, we see health scares even at a young age. Everyone should work out in whatever capacity they can. If one gives priority to their fitness for just one year, they will realise how everything changes for them.' She adds, 'Yoga, an Indian practice, is a 360-degree workout. We see people in the west and across the world practising yoga, so why can't we do that too? It relaxes your soul and benefits your mental health.' Netri adds, "Even if we take a break from doing yoga every day, it doesn't adversely affect your body with sudden weight gain, like it happens with gym workouts. It is very helpful for artistes, who have to take breaks often due to shoot schedules. In March this year, I was unwell for a month while I was shooting for two projects. It made me realise that health is everything for us today. I had stopped doing yoga due to my hectic shoot schedules, but I am back to it now. "
