Back to the courtroom

Actor Kajol is back as lawyer Noyonika Sengupta in the second season of The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha, set to release on JioCinema on September 19. The actor took to social media to announce the show on Wednesday (August 6). This year Kajol has had several releases, including Maa and Sarzameen. “Professionally, it’s been an incredibly enriching year for me. Among the characters I have explored, Noyonika remains especially close to my heart. From being an underdog in the first season to having found her own footing in the cut-throat legal world, I’ve loved stepping back into her shoes.” The show also stars Jisshu Sengupta, Sonali Kulkarni, and Sheeba Chadha among others.

The Raja Saab chooses to wait

Prabhas

Superstar Prabhas’s upcoming Telugu horror comedy, The Raja Saab, may shift from its slated December 5 release to the next Sankranthi window. Speaking to Great Andhra, producer TG Vishwa Prasad said, “There’s a strong proposal to release the film on January 9. Fans want that, so do Telugu business circles.” The team would take a final call on its release soon, he added. Acknowledging a clash with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which will arrive on December 5, Vishwa said, “Its release might be moved too.” Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab also stars Sanjay Dutt and Malavika Mohanan.
