The film is expected to combine high-octane action with a sci-fi storyline, making it an interesting addition to Priyanka’s Hollywood projects. Production is reportedly expected to begin later this year. Fans will now be waiting for more details about the film, including its director, release date and Priyanka’s character.
SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi to Make IMAX History
SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi is already making headlines for its ambitious scale. The filmmaker has revealed that the film will become the first non-English movie to be shot entirely in IMAX.
Rajamouli also shared that nearly 80 per cent of the film has already been completed. Known for creating visually spectacular films such as Baahubali and RRR, the director appears to be taking his filmmaking ambitions even further with Varanasi.
The decision to shoot the entire film in IMAX is expected to give audiences a much bigger cinematic experience when the movie eventually reaches theatres.
Ted Sarandos Praises Dhurandhar’s Global Reach
Indian cinema’s growing international audience has received another major boost with Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos praising the global performance of Dhurandhar.
Sarandos revealed that the film became Netflix’s most-watched non-English movie of the year. He also highlighted the growing international appeal of Indian films, suggesting that Indian cinema currently has stronger global crossover potential than Indian shows.
The achievement reflects how Indian films are increasingly finding audiences beyond the country and becoming part of the global entertainment conversation.
Brad Pitt’s Heart of the Beast Continues the Legacy of Emotional Dog Films
Hollywood star Brad Pitt’s upcoming film Heart of the Beast is bringing another emotional story involving the special bond between humans and dogs.
Over the years, Indian and international cinema has given audiences several memorable films centred around loyal canine companions. Movies such as 777 Charlie, Oh My Dog, Teri Meherbaniyan and Hachi have touched audiences through stories of friendship, loyalty and unconditional love.
With Heart of the Beast, Brad Pitt is now set to be part of this much-loved genre, adding another major name to films that explore the emotional connection between humans and their four-legged companions.
Varun Dhawan Reportedly in Talks for YRF’s First Horror Film
Varun Dhawan could be entering a completely new genre with an upcoming horror project backed by Yash Raj Films. According to reports, the actor is set to headline what could be YRF’s first-ever horror movie.
Rocket Boys creator Abhay Pannu is reportedly attached to direct the project. While official details about the storyline and cast are still awaited, the combination of Varun, YRF and a horror concept has already generated curiosity.
If the reports are confirmed, the project could give Varun an opportunity to explore a darker and more intense side of his acting.
Awarapan 2 Poster Raises Excitement Ahead of August 14 Release

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis Backs Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana for Oscars
Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming Ramayana has also received a strong vote of confidence from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He expressed his belief that the much-awaited film deserves to compete for an Oscar.
Fadnavis even said he would be disappointed if the film failed to bring home the prestigious award. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is one of the most ambitious Indian film projects in recent years, with a large-scale production and an ensemble cast.
The film has already attracted considerable attention because of its scale, visual ambition and the involvement of major names from Indian cinema. With international expectations building around the project, the Oscar comments have added another layer of excitement.
A Packed Line-Up for Movie Lovers
