Hrithik Roshan Joins Forces With Hombale Films, Dipika Kakar Diagnosed With Liver Cancer
Last Updated: Hrithik Roshan teams up with Hombale Films. Dipika Kakar diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Deepika Padukone replaced in Spirit. Hrithik Roshan has teamed up with Hombale Films for a new movie that's already got fans excited. The makers say the film will be filled with strength, big visuals, and powerful moments. They've promised a mix of strong emotions and fresh, creative storytelling. TV actress Dipika Kakar has shared a sad and emotional update with her fans — she has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. Best known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, Dipika posted the news on Instagram, revealing that it all started with severe stomach pain. When she went to the doctor, they found a tumour in her liver, about the size of a tennis ball. Tests later confirmed it was cancer. Deepika Padukone is once again making headlines, this time over rumours that she was dropped from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next film, Spirit. Reports suggest that Deepika was replaced after she allegedly asked for a higher fee and wanted to work only 8 hours a day. In contrast, Triptii Dimri was brought in for the role at a lower fee. In the middle of all this, an old clip from the promotions of Chhapaak (2020) has gone viral again. In the video, Deepika, who also produced the film, firmly addressed rumours that her husband Ranveer Singh was funding her projects. 'Excuse me, yeh mere khud ke paise hain. Kisne bola yeh? Yeh meri khud ki mehnat hai," she said.

Ravi Mohan has now taken legal action himself — this time against his wife Aarti Ravi and mother-in-law Sujatha Vijaykumar. According to reports, the actor has sent them a legal notice over their social media posts, which he claims have been defamatory and caused serious harm to his reputation. Kannappa is turning out to be one of the biggest films to look forward to, with a massive star cast and a grand scale. Vishnu Manchu, who plays the lead role, recently revealed a heartwarming detail about the film's making. Big stars like Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar are part of the project. He said that Prabhas and Mohanlal didn't charge a single penny from him for their role in the film. These were the newsmakers of the day. First Published: May 28, 2025, 21:46 IST
