Amitabh Bachchan's Prateeksha Bungalow Hit By Mumbai Rains; Gulshan Devaiah In Kantara Chapter 1
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan's iconic Juhu bungalow Prateeksha is also not spared from the heavy rains in Mumbai. Along with several areas being flooded in the city, a video of the road outside Big B's Prateeksha, which he has gifted to his daughter Shweta Bachchan, shows it being flooded with ankle-deep water. The video shows the water entering the residence. Prateeksha remains the iconic house for Amitabh Bachchan because it was his first property in the city following the success of Sholay.
Coolie box office collection: Rajinikanth's latest release Coolie has stormed past Rs 400 crore worldwide in just four days, but the journey ahead isn't looking smooth. While the film opened to massive numbers, its first Monday dip has raised questions on whether it can outpace Vijay's Leo and the superstar's own Jailer at the global box office.
The makers of the Kantara Chapter 1 have finally unveiled the much-awaited first look of Bollywood actor Gulshan Devaiah, who steps into the role of Kulashekara in Rishab Shetty's ambitious prequel to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara. The announcement has sent waves of excitement across fans of the franchise, as the film gears up to revisit the mystical world that captivated audiences globally.
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's The Bengal Files, previously titled The Delhi Files, is embroiled in controversies even before its release. The unveiling of its trailer in Kolkata on August 16 met with hurdles as the theatre where the event was supposed to take place abruptly cancelled it. Eventually, the venue had to be shifted to a hotel. According to the director, authorities in West Bengal tried to block the release. The portrayal of freedom fighter Gopal Chandra Mukherjee has also come under the scanner.
Director AR Murugadoss' upcoming Tamil film Madharaasi is making quite a buzz. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role and is all set to hit theatres on September 5. While the release of the film is not even a month away, the filmmaker has revealed that he had plans of making this film in Hindi and with none other than the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan.

Dragon: Jr NTR's House Set Built For Whopping Rs 15 Crore? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Jr NTR's Dragon is set to feature a lavish Rs 15 crore house set at Ramoji Film City. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film begins its next action-packed schedule in September. Jr NTR briefly shot for Dragon last month before stepping away to promote War 2, where he shared screen space with Hrithik Roshan. With promotions now complete, the actor is set to dedicate his full attention to the Prashanth Neel directorial. The film's first schedule was shot in the coastal town of Kumta, Uttara Kannada, offering a scenic backdrop along the Konkan coast. Expansive factory sets were created for the ten-day schedule. However, unpredictable weather forced the production to move away from outdoor shoots in the region. Rs 15 Crore Spent On Jr NTR's House Set To ensure seamless progress, the team shifted to Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, where multiple elaborate sets are being built. Among them, the most striking is Jr NTR's on-screen residence. According to a report in Filmfare, the house set alone is valued at a staggering Rs 15 crore. Designed with precision, it will feature curated artefacts, custom wall hangings, and detailed colour schemes, making it a key visual element of the narrative. This extravagant investment reflects the film's larger-than-life approach and Neel's commitment to world-building. Next Major Schedule Begins September Currently on a short festive break, Jr NTR will rejoin the sets after Vinayaka Chaturthi. The next schedule, starting in early September, will run for a month in Hyderabad and will largely revolve around high-octane action sequences. With Prashanth Neel at the helm and Jr NTR's star power, Dragon is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films in recent times.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Amitabh Bachchan recalls how he would gatecrash weddings during his college days; says 'hum dhoondhte the kahin shaadi toh nahi horaha, phir khaa peeke aaramse bahar aate the'
The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 starts with host Amitabh Bachchan welcoming the audience. He resumes the game with rollover contestant Shruti Jain from Mumbai, Maharashtra. He teases her that since she has not invited him to her wedding, he won't come. Later, Big B asks her about how she plans to tie the knot and Shruti reveals that she is going to opt for court marriage because she doesn't want to spend money on wedding. She says, "Mujhe apni wedding nahi marriage acchi chahiye." Mr. Bachchan gets impressed after knowing about her thoughts and calls her sorted. He says, "I have learnt a new term these days, 'she is very sorted." The megastar then recalls his college days and shared a hilarious anecdote about gatecrashing weddings. He says, "Hum jab college mein the toh rupaya paisa toh hota nahi tha humare paas, shayad 2 rupaya pocket money milta tha.. toh jab bhook lage shaam ko toh samajh mein nahi aata tha kya karen? Toh hum log dhoondhte the ke kahin shaadi byaah toh nahi horaha... hum log aise jaate the jaise baarati jaa rahe ho andar. Toh darban humko poochta tha, toh hum peeche aarahe hain aise bol ke aage chale jaate tha. ..(laughs). Khaa peeke aaramse bahar aajate the. Agar aap court marriage karengi toh hum jaison ka kya hoga..." (Back then, we hardly had any money, maybe just ₹2 as pocket money. So, whenever we felt hungry in the evenings, we would look around to see if any wedding was happening nearby. We would sneak in pretending to be part of the baraat. If the gatekeeper stopped us, we'd say we were coming from behind and walk right in,' he shared with a laugh. 'We would eat to our heart's content and walk out happily. That's why I say, if you go for a court marriage, what will happen to people like us?') His hilarious anecdote left the audience in splits. Shruti admitted feeling extremely nervous, adding that it still hasn't sunk in for her that she is sitting on the hot seat, playing the game of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B starts the game and reads the question for Rs 3,00,000. Which saltwater lagoon, located along the Coromandel Coast, is shared between Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu? As Shruti is not aware of the answer, she uses her lifeline 'Audience Poll' and selects Option D) Pulicat Lake. Shruti next faces the question for Rs 5,00,000 and she again uses a lifeline. She uses her last lifeline 'Sanket Suchak'. The flag of which ofthese countries features a seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, symbolising its six states and its territories? Even after getting the hint, Shruti is not able to guess the answer and she decides to quit the game. After quitting the game, Big B asks her to take a guess and she selects Option C) New Zealand. The correct answer is Option B) Australia. Shruti takes home Rs 3,00,000. Amitabh Bachchan Breaks Silence on His 'Changed' Look in KBC 17 | Here's What He Says
