In a recent chat with News 18, Bhumi Pednekar shared, 'I feel, to each their own. We live in a time where people should make their own choices. I am nobody to have any kind of judgment on what people want to do. I also feel that this is being discussed way too much.' Much to the delight of fans, Bhumi also opened up about her diet and revealed the one constant in her meals. The actor was quoted saying, 'People get very scared of but I have it in my diet – fat.

Kerala unveils draft film policy; focus on financial framework, gender equality, global presence
Thiruvananthapuram, The Kerala government on Saturday unveiled a draft film policy at the two-day Malayalam film conclave here, with a focus on establishing a transparent financial framework for the industry and promoting gender equality. Kerala unveils draft film policy; focus on financial framework, gender equality, global presence According to the draft, film production and exhibition will be designated as an industry, enabling access to various incentives and easing financing processes. "The recognition of film production as an industry will bring multiple advantages, enhancing transparency and promoting social responsibility within the sector," the policy stated. The government aims to ensure opportunities for all sections of society to contribute to Malayalam cinema's growth, positioning it as a key global stakeholder and preserving its cultural heritage for future generations. The vision statement outlines the goal of building a strong visual communication ecosystem, ensuring equality across related sectors, and transforming Kerala into a regional production hub by adopting advanced technology and increasing the industry's contribution to the state's GDP. The draft notes that India is the world's largest film producer, with over 2,000 releases annually. Hindi cinema leads with about 400 films a year, followed closely by Malayalam with approximately 300. In 2015, India was the fourth-largest film market globally, with theatrical revenue of USD 2.1 billion. Between 2016 and 2021, the Indian film industry grew at an annual rate of 7.7 per cent. The film industry is optimistic about cinema exhibition prospects this year, with experts estimating theatrical revenue for 2023 in India at around ₹12,000 crore. Kerala alone recorded box office collections exceeding ₹2,000 crore in 2023, the draft said. The policy affirms the government's commitment to continued dialogue with various film industry associations, supporting demands for better wages, job security, medical benefits, and insurance. A general financing incentive scheme for Malayalam cinema will be introduced, with specific provisions for women and marginalised communities. The draft also encourages the production of other Indian languages and foreign films in Kerala. A dedicated film development fund will support promotional and humanitarian initiatives outlined in the policy. A venture capital fund for film production, with private participation and crowdfunding options for socially relevant films, will be created and managed by the Kerala State Film Development Corporation . To promote an equitable work environment, the state will issue detailed guidelines and best practices for the film industry. A single-window film facilitation centre will be established to streamline all shooting-related permits in the state. A Film Development Council, chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and co-chaired by Culture Minister Saji Cherian, with an industry representative as vice-chairman, will be established as the apex body to oversee the development of the film industry. The council will monitor industry activities and recommend policy interventions to the state cabinet as required. The draft policy was distributed among delegates and will be discussed in detail during the two-day conclave, which concludes on Sunday, official sources said.

Is Priyanka Chopra Making Her Bollywood Comeback With Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love And War?
Priyanka Chopra's recent throwback post about Ram Chahe Leela has sparked major speculation about her return to Bollywood. It's been a while since Priyanka Chopra graced the Hindi film screen — six years, to be precise. Ever since the global icon shifted base to the US in 2015, she's made only two Bollywood appearances, the most recent being The Sky Is Pink in 2019. But if recent speculation is to be believed, the desi girl might just be on the cusp of a long-awaited homecoming. On Friday, Chopra set the internet abuzz with a rare throwback post on Instagram — a tribute to her fiery dance number Ram Chahe Leela from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013). What stood out wasn't just the choice of memory but the unusually long, heartfelt caption that accompanied it — a rarity for the actor when it comes to revisiting past work. Sharing an insight into how the iconic number came to be, Priyanka wrote, 'When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but he, as a filmmaker, has always inspired me. His creative mind, his nostalgic stories usually over incredible food, the conversations of art and music to dance… the beauty of the yesteryears but also what the future holds. And then he played the song… and I knew I was her." She went on to recall working with choreographer Vishnu Deva and cinematographer Ravi Varman, adding, 'Under Sanjay sir's guidance, Ravi Varman's cinematography shone, and Vishnu Deva's choreography was magic. Him and I would rehearse during lunch breaks every day to perfect the dance sequences. This brings back such great memories." While the post read like a sentimental throwback, it also sparked intense speculation online. Industry insiders began to wonder: Was this more than just nostalgia? Now, a source has confirmed to Hindustan Times that the post may, in fact, be a subtle nod to something on the horizon — a possible special appearance in Bhansali's next directorial, Love & War. According to the source, Priyanka may feature in a high-octane special number in the period war drama, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. While nothing has been officially signed yet, discussions are reportedly underway. If the collaboration materialises, it would mark Chopra's grand return to Hindi cinema — and that too with the very filmmaker who gave her one of her most celebrated dance numbers. Love & War, currently under production, is slated for release on March 20, 2026, and is being mounted on an epic scale. Reports suggest Bhansali is planning a face-off sequence between Ranbir and Vicky that could rival some of the most iconic scenes in Indian cinema history. Meanwhile, Priyanka is also committed to a major Indian production — SSMB29, her upcoming pan-India film with SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. The ambitious venture also features Prithviraj Sukumaran, though the release date remains under wraps. The film is being pegged as one of the most anticipated cinematic events of the decade.

Filmmaker Aditya Kriplani Breaks Down In Tears As He Reviews Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2
Filmmaker Aditya Kriplani gets emotional reviewing Dhadak 2, praising Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri, and Shazia Iqbal for their powerful work. Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is making quite a wave, and the word of mouth for the film is very strong. Today, filmmaker Aditya Kriplani took to his social media to review the film, and while talking about it, he broke down and heaped praises on Shazia Iqbal for making this beautiful film. While sharing the video, he attached it with a long caption that reads, '@shaz.3.0 and the team at Dharma Productions, aapko salaam. 🙏🏾❤️. Rahul Badwelkar, beautiful screenplay. @officialzakirhussain aapne kya khoobsoorat kaam kiya hai. @anubhafatehpuria aapne bhi. ❤️❤️❤️. I just saw another film of yours called Thursday Special." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aditya Kripalani (@adityakripalani) '@saurabhsachdeva77 you were so, so good. So good. Beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️. @itsharishkhanna so beautiful you were. Especially in that last home scene. So torn. So torn. @manjiripupala beautiful work again. So happy for you. @deekshajoshi0412 @ beautiful work as usual. Especially the insult scene at college. Beautiful," he further added. Aditya concluded his note by adding, '@siddhantchaturvedi I've loved you this much after Gully Boy. Thank you for doing this film. That wedding scene and everything you felt after the insult was beautiful, beautiful. You've thrown yourself into it. Thank you. @tripti_dimri who are you?????? Who are you?????? I loved what you've done. Very, very beautiful. @shaz.3.0 you've made this film so beautifully." News18 also reviewed the film and gave it 3.5 stars out of 5, and a part of our review reads, ' It's worth noting that Dhadak 2 isn't an original story. It's a remake of the much-loved Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. But even as a remake, it feels fresh and meaningful, especially in a world full of sloppy adaptations. This one stands tall. Dhadak 2 is the kind of film that screams good storytelling, and hence, it's a clear reminder to everyone that good movies can still be made, if the heartbeat (Dhadak) is in the right direction. If you've been craving an honest romantic thriller that's believable, then trust me and don't miss this one. Book your tickets now."
