JioHotstar will be overseeing the show's production this year instead of Colors TV, and the channel will merely be an airing partner.

Salman Khan 'Threatened' Tere Naam Co-Star, Made Her Cry: 'Thappad Maarogi Toh...'
Last Updated: Indira Krishnan recalled how Salman Khan pranked her during Tere Naam shoot, leaving her in tears. Actress Indira Krishnan was supposed to slap Salman Khan in Tere Naam. However, the superstar felt that it would be the best time to prank her. As part of his prank, Salman Khan gave a 'threat' to Indira that things would go awry for her if she slapped him. In a recent chat with Galatta India, Indira mentioned that Salman Khan, Sunjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty used to pull pranks on sets. She recalled what went down with Salman during the shoot of Tere Naam. Indira recalled Salman's 'threat' and said he told her, 'Aap thappad maarogi toh phir kuch bhi hosakta hai. Aap dekhlo iska phir kya honewala hai (If you slap me, then anything can happen. You see what is going to happen to her next)." However, since it was part of the script, Indira slapped Salman. Soon, Salman's bodyguard also joined in on the prank and said, 'Ma'am aapne kya kardiya? Press waale aagaye. Aap van mai jaake baith jaao (Ma'am, what have you done? The press people have come. You go and sit in the van)." This left Indira worried. 'When I looked outside, I could see media people there. Although it was common for reporters to come to film sets back then, it did not strike me at that time. They even said, 'Ma'am, you will be banned from the industry. Kya kardiya aapne, thappad maar diya Bhai ko?!' I started crying. Although they eventually revealed that it was a prank, they went on with it for about one hour," the actress mentioned. Indira Krishnan will now be seen in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. Ranbir Kapoor takes on Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, Yash is Ravana, Ravi Dubey becomes Lakshman, and Sunny Deol portrays Hanuman. Supporting cast includes Amitabh Bachchan, Rakul Preet Singh, Kunal Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Arun Govil and Sheeba Chadha. The first part is expected to hit cinemas during Diwali 2026, with the second part set to follow the next year in Diwali 2027. With a budget of around Rs 4000 crore, the project promises a big-screen experience blending traditional storytelling with modern cinematic flair.

From the glam world. From the noise. But now, out of the blue… Bigg Boss has called again. Yes—this season. They want me back. This season is all about RAJNEETI. Here's the thing: I've healed. I've built a new life. I'm not chasing lights or headlines anymore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But this offer feels like a breakthrough. Not for fame. But maybe for closure.
