Vivek Agnihotri says Sandeep Reddy Vanga is his alter ego: He is showing the truth
"After Pahalgam attack, people realised 'The Kashmir Files' was right. I am not claiming that I believe in Vanga. I am just saying he has the right to tell stories from his point of view. People who are abusing him, are also using their right. But, at the end of the day, he is laughing looking at his bank," the 'The Bengal Files' director went on.He concluded by highlighting that Vanga wouldn't be criticised if his films weren't doing well at the box office. "If his movies will fail, nobody will have an issue. They are having an issue, because it is working for him," Agnihotri added.The director's next 'The Bengal Files' is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 5, 2025.- EndsMust Watch

Ranbir Kapoor Looks Dapper, Waves At Paps As He Visits Bhansali's Office
It should be noted that the shooting of Love and War is likely to begin soon in Mumbai. Reports suggest Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will have an intense face-off in the film. Over the last few weeks, Ranbir Kapoor has repeatedly been snapped visiting Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Mumbai. Looks like the duo, who will be reuniting for Love And War soon, are preparing to begin the film's shoot soon. Amid all this, Ranbir Kapoor was once again spotted outside the Bhansali office on Wednesday afternoon. In a video that surfaced on social media, the Animal actor was seen getting out of his car as he entered Bhansali's office. The actor looked dapper in a white t-shirt, which he layered with a blue shirt and matching jeans. He was all smiles as he waved for the paparazzi and paused to pose for the cameras.

Reports suggest Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will have an intense face-off in the film. However, the makers have not made any official statement regarding the film's development or plot as of now. What Did Ranbir Singh Say About Reuniting With Bhansali? Earlier this year, Ranbir talked about the project during a meet and greet event in Mumbai when he said, 'Love and War is something which is every actor's dream. To work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky and to be directed by the master – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven't met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Just to be on his set, it is tiring. It is long. The process can be a little daunting but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying. He really nurtures art. As actors, it's truly been amazing so far." What Does Alia Bhatt Think About Her On-Screen Reunion With Ranbir Kapoor? Last year, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Alia Bhatt also talked about the film and her reunion with Ranbir when she said, 'I, as an audience, am more excited to see him [Bhansali] and Ranbir collaborate, again, after so many years. I am like, 'wow, what's that going to be like?" Talking about reuniting with Vicky Kaushal, Alia continued by saying, 'Vicky and I coming together again; Ranbir and Vicky created magic with Sanju. So, it is a lot of combinations." Love and War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026. First Published: August 06, 2025, 20:06 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
