Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf to skip theatrical release due to ‘heightened security drills'; film to stream on Prime Video
A day before Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf's theatrical release, the makers of the film took to their official social media handles to announce the romantic comedy will now have a direct-to-OTT release on Prime Video. The makers cited recent events and heightened security drills across the nation as the reason behind this sudden change in the release plans. The film will now stream on May 16.
The production house behind Bhool Chuk Maaf, Maddock Films took to its official X handle to share a statement that read: 'In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16–only on Prime Video, worldwide.'
The spirit of the nation comes first! 🇮🇳

They added, 'While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theatres, the spirit of the nation comes first. Jai Hind.'
The makers of the film had shared a post about 21 hours ago announcing the opening of advance bookings for the film on BookMyShow. However, the option to book for tickets has been disabled by the booking app. The film directed by Karan Sharma is produced by the man behind the Stree franchise, Dinesh Vijan. Apart from Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, the film also stars Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa, Zakir Hussain, Raghubir Yadav, and Ishtiyak Khan, among others.
Bhool Chuk Maaf was earlier scheduled to have a theatrical release on May 9 with the makers releasing its bonus trailer on YouTube on May 5.
Earlier, the film was reportedly to be made with Kartik Aaryan and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles. However, Kartik dismissed these claims on his X handle saying these reports had no truth to it. The film, mostly shot in Varanasi, marks the sixth collaboration between Rajkummar and Dinesh Vijan after films Stree, Made in China, Roohi, Hum Do Hamare Do, and Stree 2.

Padmini Kolhapure reveals how niece Shraddha Kapoor chooses her roles with family support
Veteran actress Padmini Kolhapure recently opened up about the thoughtful approach her niece, Shraddha Kapoor, takes when selecting film roles. According to Padmini, the 'Stree' actress doesn't make decisions in isolation; instead, she carefully considers advice from her close family members before finalising her choices. Speaking to IANS, Padmini shared that Shraddha often discusses potential projects with her mother, Shivangi Kolhapure; sister, Tejaswini, father Shakti Kapoor, and even Padmini herself. The senior actress mentioned that this collective support system helps the young actress weigh the pros and cons of each opportunity, ensuring that she makes well-informed decisions that align with her career goals and personal values. Padmini revealed that despite taking input from her family, Shraddha ultimately trusts her own instincts. The 'Vidhaata' actress shared, 'Advice, in the sense Shraddha discusses. like with my sister Tejaswini, her mom Shivangi, me, her father, and, of course, also my husband. So, because she hears everybody, she kind of weighs the pros and cons, and then she goes ahead with her decisions in picking the films.' Padmini Kolhapure is Shraddha Kapoor's aunt. Padmini's elder sister, Shivangi Kolhapure, who was also an actress, is married to veteran actor Shakti Kapoor and is the mother of actors Shraddha Kapoor and Siddhanth Kapoor. Speaking about guiding her son Priyaank Sharma, Padmini Kolhapure admitted she is her son's toughest critic. When asked about her approach to supporting her son, who debuted in the 2019 film 'Sab Kushal Mangal,' the veteran star revealed that her family never pushed him into acting. Instead, they encouraged his genuine interest while preparing him for the tough realities of the industry. 'The film came out in 2019, and then COVID happened, so things stalled for him,' she said. 'My husband is a producer, I'm an actress, but we never had those typical dreams of forcing him to be an actor. He showed interest gradually, and we supported him.' Padmini stressed the importance of independence and hard work, sharing that her son was sent to Strasbourg to understand the challenges beyond glamour. 'I keep telling him this job isn't easy. It's blood, sweat, and tears,' she remarked, referencing her own experiences and the hard work she's seen from other actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Anil Kapoor.
