Much like all the films, the entire team as a family, and has called over the key members for an intimate dinner at his home,' the source shared.
Talking of War 2, the makers are now in the final leg of promotions, and the next 37 days will see them launch the two songs, and theatrical trailer.

When Anushka Sharma reacted to losing her debut award to Asin: 'I got very upset...'
The year 2008 marked the arrival of two different yet impactful female leads in Bollywood—Anushka Sharma, who made her debut with Shah Rukh Khan in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi,' and Asin, who was in the movie with Aamir Khan in 'Ghajini. ' Both performances were lauded, both films were box office successes, and both actresses were nominated. Although when the envelope opened, it was Asin who took home the trophy. 'I was very upset… I cried like a child' In a resurfaced 2018 interview on 'Look Who's Talking With Niranjan,' Anushka candidly recalled her heartbreak, saying, 'I'm very upset they didn't give it to me. I made my calculation, you know. Asin had already done Ghajini in Tamil, Telugu, and maybe Kannada. She's already been an actress for many years. Obviously, they won't give it to her! Debut toh mera hua hai, main nayi hoon, maine nayi film mein kaam kiya hai. I need the encouragement.' In spite of clapping for Asin during the ceremony, Anushka admitted she was devastated afterwards, as she said, 'I cried like a child—as if I didn't get a certificate in school.' The 'debut' debate: Fresh face vs. first Hindi film Anushka's frustration was not just all personal; it became a larger industry debate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The question though lies what truly defines a debut? While 'Ghajini' was Asin's first Hindi film, she was already a popular star in South Indian cinema. Anushka, on the other hand, was a complete newcomer, stepping into the spotlight with no prior screen experience. This distinction, Anushka felt, should have mattered. She emphasised, 'She's already an actress. I was new. I needed the encouragement.' A-Sin or just a sin? In a cheeky moment on 'Koffee With Karan,' Anushka even referred to Asin as 'A-Sin,' a pun that reflected her lingering disappointment. While said as a joke, it ignored how deeply the moment had affected her. Where they stand today Asin stepped away from acting after 'All Is Well,' choosing to focus on family life. Anushka, meanwhile, has shaped herself into one of the Bollywood's most respected actors and producers. Her upcoming film 'Chakda 'Xpress,' which is based on the cricketer Jhulan Goswami, is among the most expected biopics in recent memory.

Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma in London, witness Novak Djokovic's brilliance at Wimbledon: ‘Business as usual for…'
Virat Kohli is in London; hence, it is no surprise that he decided to attend Wimbledon 2025. The star Indian batter, who announced his retirement from Tests earlier this year, was in attendance for the Men's Round of 16 match between Novak Djokovic and Australia's Alex de Minaur. Last year's Wimbledon finalist, Djokovic, did not disappoint as he registered a win despite losing the first round 1-6.

However, he stunned the world by announcing his retirement from the longest format just days before the squad announcement. Kohli, who won his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title in June 2025 with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), travelled to London after the tournament to spend time with his family. Virat Kohli's Instagram posts are rare, but we are glad that he has started posting about his whereabouts. On Saturday, he had posted a story for India Test captain Shubman Gill, who became the toast of the town, owing to his 430-run haul in the Edgbaston Test against England. Just two days later, the most successful India Test captain was at the Centre Court, watching the action unfold between Djokovic and de Minaur. Kohli saw the match alongside wife Anushka Sharma as the duo were spotted in the stands, looking their best in formals. "What a match. It was business as usual for the gladiator. @djokernole," Kohli wrote on Instagram Stories.

Special mention to Siraj and Akash for the way they bowled on this pitch.' Kohli has now retired from both Tests and T20Is. He will only continue to play the 50-over format, where he holds the record for scoring the most centuries. His return to Team India colours has been delayed after the postponement of India's tour to Bangladesh. He will now be seen in the ODI series against Australia in October when India make the trip Down Under. The right-handed batter called time on his Test career having played 123 Tests. He scored 9230 runs at an average of 46.85 with 30 centuries and 31 fifties.

Saira Banu pens an emotional note on Dilip Kumar's death anniversary: 'I am still...' On the death anniversary of legendary actor Dilip Kumar, his wife and veteran actress Saira Banu shared a deeply moving note, reflecting on the everlasting bond she continues to share with him. Calling him the 'guiding star for generations', Saira described her late husband as more than just a legendary actor. She highlighted how he touched the lives of political greats like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Narasimha Rao, while also being deeply loved by the common man. On Monday, Saira Banu shared a heartfelt video featuring photos of Dilip Kumar from his iconic films and younger days. For the caption, she wrote, 'The dearth of Sahib could never go… and yet, I am still with him One in thought, in mind, in life. In this lifetime, and in the next, my soul has learnt to walk beside him even in his absence. Each year, this day finds me cradling Sahib's memories like delicate blossoms. His admirers, well-wishers, friends and family they never forget.' 'Their messages of love and remembrance arrive like prayers, wrapped in warmth. And I read each one with a heart full of gratitude, knowing that the world still holds space for the man Sahib was and forever will be.' Saira Banu shares a touching tribute to Dilip Kumar on his death anniversary View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saira Banu Khan (@sairabanu) The veteran actress added, 'You see, Sahib wasn't just my life's greatest joy He was an entire era. An inspiration across six generations of actors and the guiding star for those yet to come. He was the finest companion to great statesmen Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Sahab, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sahab, Narasimha Rao Sahab and counted among his dearest friends some of the sharpest minds lawyers, economists, industrialists but never once was he removed from the common man's soul 'He adored sports played cricket and football like he'd been born on the fieldand often said, 'If not destiny, I would have been a national-level sportsman.' But destiny had its own plans and gave the world the greatest actor of all time instead. Behind the icon, though, was a tender, charming, witty man. Sharing glimpses of his playful and tender nature, Saira recalled one particular evening when Dilip Sahib quietly slipped away from a gathering at home, leaving behind a simple, affectionate note: 'Feeling sleepy, what do you suggest, Aunty?… Yours 100%.' It's in these everyday moments, she said, that his love, wit, and unforgettable presence live on. Saira Banu concluded the note writing, 'He made the ordinary moments eternal. And through every jest, every note, every glance he left behind something rare: Love that lingers. Dilip Sahib is forever. Beyond time. Beyond life. May Allah continue to keep him wrapped in His noor and mercy. Aameen.' Dilip Kumar, known as the 'Tragedy King' of Hindi cinema, passed away on July 7, 2021.
