The world of cinema is buzzing with exciting announcements, new projects and major updates. From a new mythology-based pan-India cinematic universe to the return of a popular crime thriller series and Salman Khan’s international action film, here are some of the biggest movie updates making headlines.
Indraputra to launch a new mythology-based cinematic universe
A new pan-India cinematic universe is reportedly taking shape with Indraputra, a project that promises to bring mythology to the big screen on a large scale. The makers have teased the film as the beginning of a new cinematic world, creating curiosity among audiences who enjoy mythology-inspired stories.
The project is expected to combine traditional Indian mythology with a larger cinematic vision. While several details about the cast and storyline are still awaited, the announcement has already created anticipation. Indraputra is scheduled to arrive in 2027 and could potentially mark the beginning of a much bigger franchise.
Spider-Man eyes ₹500 crore milestone
The latest Spider-Man release continues to make a strong impact at the box office. According to the estimates shared, the film is expected to cross the ₹500 crore mark shortly and could potentially move towards ₹600 crore by the end of its theatrical run if its momentum continues.
The strong performance once again highlights the popularity of the superhero franchise among Indian audiences. With viewers continuing to turn up in theatres, the film’s final collection will be closely watched in the coming days.
Priyanka Chopra shares unseen picture from Mahesh Babu film
Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently gave fans a glimpse into her upcoming project with Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. On Mahesh Babu’s birthday, the actor shared an unseen picture from the film’s Varanasi schedule while wishing her co-star.
The picture offered fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of the much-awaited project. Priyanka and Mahesh’s collaboration has generated considerable excitement, especially because the film brings together major names from Indian and international cinema.
Directed by SS Rajamouli, the ambitious project is expected to be mounted on a massive scale. Although several aspects of the film’s story remain under wraps, every new glimpse from the sets continues to attract attention.
Asur 3 to reportedly begin shooting in September
Fans of Asur have another reason to be excited. The third season of the popular crime thriller is reportedly set to go on floors in September.
Arshad Warsi and Barun Sobti are expected to return to the centre of the story, continuing their association with the series from the first season. The show has developed a strong following for its dark atmosphere, psychological storytelling and mythology-based elements.
The third season is expected to take the story into a new chapter while retaining the intense investigative and psychological elements that made the series popular. More details about the plot, supporting cast and release date are expected to emerge once production begins.
Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt’s 7 Dogs gets India release date
Salman Khan has announced that the international action thriller 7 Dogs will release in Indian theatres on August 21, 2026. The film has already attracted attention internationally because of its massive scale, high-octane action sequences and the involvement of Indian stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt.
Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the duo known for Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the film also features Italian actor Monica Bellucci. The movie combines Arab and international action cinema and has been mounted on an estimated budget of around $40 million.
A major highlight of the film is its large-scale action work. The production reportedly includes an enormous explosion sequence that has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest film stunt explosion, adding another layer of spectacle to the project.
The story follows Interpol agent Khalid Al-Azzazi, who captures a major figure connected to an international criminal organisation known as 7 Dogs. When the organisation resurfaces with a dangerous new drug, Khalid is forced to work with someone who understands the syndicate from the inside. The mission takes the characters across several international locations.
For Indian audiences, however, Salman and Sanjay Dutt’s appearances are expected to be one of the biggest attractions. Their presence gives the film an additional Bollywood connection and could help attract Indian fans of large-scale action cinema.
Salman Khan’s busy lineup continues
While 7 Dogs brings Salman Khan to Indian theatres in August, the superstar already has several projects lined up. He is set to headline Vamshi Paidipally’s upcoming action film, tentatively titled SVC63, which will also feature Nayanthara.
The film is being produced by Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations and is scheduled for an Eid 2027 theatrical release. Salman is also expected to return as the host of Bigg Boss 20, adding another major television commitment to his packed schedule.
With Indraputra promising a new mythology universe, Asur 3 returning with its dark mystery, Priyanka Chopra and Mahesh Babu’s ambitious collaboration generating curiosity, and 7 Dogs bringing international action to Indian theatres, the coming months are shaping up to be exciting for movie lovers.
