Accepting the award, Shahid dedicated the win to his wife, Mira Rajput. Talking about the award he won on Saturday, Shahid said, “This is my first award for Padmaavat this year, so I am really very happy and I would like to dedicate this award to my wife, Mira because she tolerated me for a year during this period and without her I wouldn’t have been able to do this film. So I am very thankful to her.”

Bollywood films have had a huge tug of war with release dates ever since the Padmaavat Controversy. While some movies are looking at releasing on a different date to avoid clashes, others have their release issues due to creative differences.

The current scenario between John Abraham and KriArj Entertainment’s Prernaa Arora over their film Parmanu – The Story of Pokhran is quite ugly. John Abraham took the legal route and filed separate complaints about cheating, breach of trust, defamation and offences under the Information Technology Act. Parmanu has been delayed a lot since December and after debating on several dates, the producers have now come to the terms to release the film on 28 May, 2018.

According to the recent reports, the legal notice was sent to KriArj Entertainment, Essel Vision, John Abraham’s JA Entertainment and Vashu Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment by Delhi based firm on behalf of Gothic Entertainment. The report claims that the production had paid a sum of Rs 12.25 crore for multiple films production including Parmanu – The Story of Pokhran. As the producers Prernaa and John were fighting over monetary issues in Bombay High Court, this production company’s name never popped up.

A Mumbai Court on Saturday rescinded the bailable warrant in the hit and run case against Salman Khan in relation to the 2002 hit and run case.

The court last week stayed the bailable warrant in the 7-year-old hit-and-run case, in which the government’s appeal against Salman’s acquittal is still pending before the Supreme Court.  The bailable warrant was issued after the Race 3 actor failed to complete the procedure of providing surety (a guarantor for good behaviour) on the scheduled dates given by the Court.

In December 2015, the Court acquitted Salman Khan of all charges, 7 months after the case was filed. This was on account of lack of evidence against the actor. However, besides being acquitted and being granted bail to the tune of Rs. 25,000, a Mumbai Court has taken back the stance on the bail. Stay tuned for further updates on this issue.

For a while now, the rumour mill has been buzzing about the release of the Sanjay Dutt biopic during the IPL match on 24 April, 2018. Everyone was super excited as this meant there was going to be not one, but TWO exciting things to look forward on the day!

While director Rajkumar Hirani kept quiet about the rumours, the PK and 3 Idiots director finally clarified the rumours by saying the teaser was going to release on the 24th. However, it isn’t going to release during the match as it was being said for so long.

“It is not a correct news that #SanjuTeaser is going to be released during the IPL match. As far as I understand, we are launching the teaser before that. It will be in the morning of April 24. In the evening, it will be shown during the IPL match.” – @RajkumarHirani confirms!
