Singer Arijit Singh has postponed his upcoming UK tour that was set to kick off on August 11, due to health issues. The singer, 37, announced the news through his Instagram handle.

His caption that read "this Diwali" also hinted at the film's tentative release date. This film is being helmed by Anees Bazmee, who also directed the second sequel that released in 2022. That edition brought Aaryan immense acclaim, and was touted as among the best performing films, post-pandemic.

Cinephiles may have often questioned why John Abraham picks films that may seem to be all too similar, but the actor was in no mood to address the subject when asked about it during a promotional round for his film. "Can I call out bad questions and idiots," said Abraham when a journalist, rather degradingly, asked him to be part of "something new". Abraham, 51, shot back, saying, "Have you seen this movie [Vedaa]?" When the reporter said that his character appears to be similar to the ones he has previously played, he responded, "Watch the film and then judge. And then I'm all yours. Whatever you say. But if you're wrong, I'm going to turn you around and tear you apart." The film reunites him with Nikkhil Advani after Batla House (2019) and Satyamev Jayate (2021).
Vicky Kaushal, Ammy Virk and Triptii Dimri-starrer Bad Newz has crossed the mark of R100 crore at the box office worldwide, the makers announced yesterday. Directed by Anand Tiwari, the film released on July 19 and has collected Rs 102.77 crore.
