Make it worth the wait, please

Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3, starring Ranveer Singh is reportedly set to go on floors in January 2026. The team is still in the process of casting the antagonist, with Vikrant Massey’s name being considered. As reports of Vikrant joining the project make the rounds, fans are eager to see a Lootera (2013) reunion — he and Ranveer played close friends in the movie directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, which also starred Sonakshi Sinha. Kriti Sanon, who is reportedly playing the female lead in the movie (Don finds a new Roma, March 7), recently wished Ranveer on his birthday on July 8, and added, “Looking forward to working with you soon.” Ranveer is expected to wrap up Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar by September, promote the film ahead of its December release, and begin prepping for Don 3 soon after. Farhan, who also has 120 Bahadur releasing in November, is currently in the UK to finalise locations and the international crew for the Europe-set action thriller.  There are rumours that Shah Rukh Khan will have a cameo in the film. While the film is slated to arrive in cinemas in the second half of 2026, there is no official confirmation from the makers.

Celebrating a decade of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), director SS Rajamouli has announced Baahubali: The Epic, which will be a new theatrical cut combining both parts of the franchise into one seamless film. Sharing the poster and release date on X, the filmmaker wrote, “Baahubali, the beginning of many journeys. Countless memories. Endless inspiration. It’s been 10 years. Marking this special milestone with Baahubali: The Epic, a two-part combined film (sic).” The film, starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia, will release worldwide on October 31, this year, in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi.
