Netflix's Kargil drama Operation Safed Sagar set to premiere on August 7

Set during the 1999 Kargil War, the series follows the untold story of the Golden Arrows Squadron, highlighting the courage, sacrifice and determination of the personnel involved. Rather than focusing solely on the battlefield, the drama explores the people behind the mission and their contribution to a defining chapter in India's modern military history.

Directed by Oni Sen and created by Abhijeet Singh Parmar and Kushal Srivastava, Operation Safed Sagar features an ensemble cast including Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Verma, Dia Mirza, Prajakta Koli, Adil Hussain, Mihir Ahuja, Taaruk Raina, Arnav Bhasin and Amrita Bagchi.

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India said, “At Netflix, we are committed to championing bold, original stories that haven't been told before. Operation Safed Sagar is a story the Indian Air Force has trusted us to tell, a first-of-its-kind series inspired by the IAF's role in the Kargil War. It is a tribute to the courage, camaraderie and sacrifice of The Golden Arrows, a squadron that went beyond the call of duty, in service of the nation. This is a first of its kind war drama series from India that will take the audience into the world of airforce pilots. Their lives, their bravery and the split-second decision-making that goes into keeping our borders safe. All this along with a truly cinematic scale, world-class production values and visual effects makes this series a truly authentic and immersive experience. Bringing this story to life is director Oni Sen, alongside a young, fresh creative team of creators and co producers Abhijeet Singh Parmar, Kushal Srivastava and Mehboob Pal Singh Brar and a cast that blends new faces with veteran talent. We're proud to team up with Matchbox Shots once again, a studio that shares our passion for powerful, character-led storytelling.”

Abhijeet Singh Parmar and Mehboob Pal Singh Brar from Feel Good Films said, "What drew us to creating and producing Operation Safed Sagar was the opportunity to explore a world that very few people get to see from the inside, a world that opened up to us through our Co-Creator Kushal Srivastava's experience in the Indian Air Force. As we explored the lives of Air Force pilots, their families and the people around them, we realised that beyond the conflict and the mission, this was ultimately a story about friendship, sacrifice, leadership and impossible choices. Whether it was recreating this world across more than 100 locations, including filming at over 16,000 feet, or bringing together a large ensemble cast and extensive visual effects, our endeavour was always to balance scale with intimate human drama."

Sanjay Routray of Matchbox Shots LLP said, “Some chapters in our nation's history demand more than remembrance- they deserve to be brought to life with honesty and scale. Operation Safed Sagar is one such story that reminds us that the greatest acts of heroism are often driven by duty, sacrifice, and humanity. When Kushal Shrivastva brought us this extensively researched script, we knew it deserved to be told on the scale it demands. The story finely balances large-scale military action with deeply personal moments of heroism. We're thrilled to partner with Netflix to bring this powerful story to audiences around the world."

Produced by Matchbox Shots and Feel Good Films, Operation Safed Sagar serves as a tribute to the men and women of the Indian Air Force whose service, commitment and sense of duty continue to inspire generations. The series will begin streaming exclusively on Netflix from August 7.

Aamir Khan’s Lalkaara to be produced by Excel Entertainment and Rajkumar Hirani Films; Dangal and Nil Battey Sannata writers pen the script

Aamir Khan recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of his cult film, Lagaan (2001) and is all set to join hands with Lagaan director Ashutosh Gowariker once again. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Lalkaara is not a biopic but based on the iconic 1952 test series between India and Pakistan. The script, written by Piyush Gupta and Neeraj Singh, is said to be an intense sports drama which explores the theme of rivalry, friendship, partition and nationalism.”

The source also said, “Lalkaara will be produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment. Interestingly, Rajkumar Hirani has also come on board but only as a producer. Aamir shares a strong association with both Farhan Akhtar and Rajkumar Hirani. His very next film after Lagaan was Dil Chahta Hai (2001), directed by Farhan Akhtar, which went on to attain cult status. With Rajkumar Hirani, Aamir delivered two historic blockbusters – 3 Idiots (2009) and PK (2014).”

A few days ago, Bollywood Hungama revealed that in 2019, the film was supposed to be produced by Fox Star Studios, while Rajkumar Hirani was offered the chance to direct it. As per sources, Shah Rukh Khan was also briefly considered for the lead role.

Meanwhile, Aamir is also committed to Rajkumar Hirani’s next directorial, a sequel to 3 Idiots. However, the scripting of the film is currently underway. According to reports, Aamir decided to begin work on Lalkaara first as Piyush Gupta and Neeraj Singh’s bound script has been ready for a while.

Nissan India has announced actor Hrithik Roshan as its new brand ambassador, coinciding with the launch of its latest mid-size SUV, the Tekton. The partnership comes at a significant time for the automaker as it expands its presence in one of India's most competitive automotive segments with a new flagship offering.

The Tekton, priced from Rs 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom), marks Nissan's entry into the mid-size SUV category and now sits at the top of the company's domestic portfolio. Bookings for the SUV have officially opened, while customer deliveries are scheduled to begin on July 20.

By bringing Hrithik Roshan on board as the face of the brand, Nissan aims to strengthen its visibility and connect with a wider audience as it introduces the Tekton to Indian buyers. The collaboration is expected to support the company's efforts to establish a stronger foothold in the growing SUV market.

On the design front, the Tekton features a bold and upright stance with a prominent front grille, LED headlamps and signature C-shaped daytime running lights. A sculpted bonnet with distinctive "Tekton" lettering enhances its road presence, while the side profile is highlighted by flared wheel arches, 18-inch alloy wheels and pull-style front door handles. The rear continues the rugged styling theme with uniquely designed tail lamps and a robust bumper. Nissan is offering the SUV in 11 exterior colour options, including six monotone and five dual-tone shades.

Inside, the Tekton comes with a dual-tone cabin available in four interior themes. The SUV features a modern digital cockpit with a large infotainment touchscreen and a fully digital instrument cluster. It is also equipped with premium features such as ventilated front seats, powered front seats, wireless phone charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof and Google built-in services, including Google Maps and Gemini.

Additional equipment includes paddle shifters, an electronic parking brake, a smart powered tailgate and adaptive cruise control. Buyers can choose from six trim levels, offering a range of features to suit different requirements and budgets.

Powering the Tekton are two turbo-petrol engine options. The first is a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 100 hp and 166 Nm of torque, while the second is a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol unit delivering 163 hp and 280 Nm of torque. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual gearbox and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT) for the larger engine. Nissan claims a fuel efficiency of 19.4 kmpl for the 1.0-litre variant, while the 1.3-litre engine offers up to 18.5 kmpl. With the Tekton's launch and a renewed branding strategy led by Hrithik Roshan, Nissan is looking to strengthen its position in India's expanding SUV market.

Aamir Khan Productions, Kabir Khan Films and Australia’s Mind Blowing Films announce Silkyara 41 based on Uttarakhand tunnel rescue

Aamir Khan Productions, Kabir Khan Films and Australian banner Mind Blowing Films have officially announced Silkyara 41, a feature film inspired by the extraordinary rescue operation at the Silkyara Tunnel in Uttarakhand. The project will chronicle the dramatic mission that led to the safe rescue of 41 trapped workers and highlight the contribution of internationally renowned tunnelling expert Professor Arnold Dix.

The announcement was made on July 9 in Melbourne and Mumbai, coinciding with a significant moment in India-Australia relations as both nations continue to strengthen bilateral ties. The makers have described Silkyara 41 as a landmark Indo-Australian collaboration that brings together creative talent, storytelling traditions and production expertise from both countries.

The film will be directed by Kabir Khan, known for films such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan and '83, while the screenplay has been penned by acclaimed Australian writer Andrew Anastasios, whose credits include The Water Diviner. The project is being jointly produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kabir Khan Films and Mind Blowing Films.

Speaking about the collaboration, Aamir Khan said, "It gives us great pleasure to announce this landmark collaboration between Mind Blowing Films and Aamir Khan Productions. The story of the Silkyara Tunnel rescue moved me deeply. It is a story of courage, resilience, ingenuity and humanity in the face of impossible odds. We are especially proud to announce it on this historic day, as India and Australia open a new chapter in their bilateral relationship. It feels fitting that today we announce this wonderful film to be created by our two countries and is based on a story that celebrates international cooperation and the triumph of the human spirit."

Director Kabir Khan added, "The story of the Silkyara Tunnel rescue is one of the most extraordinary human dramas to emerge in recent times. At its heart, it is a story of courage, resilience and the collective determination to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. What drew me most to the project was its deeply human dimension - the lives that hung in the balance, the families waiting anxiously, and the remarkable individuals who came together to make the rescue possible. I am honoured to bring this inspiring true story to the screen."

Professor Arnold Dix, whose expertise played a key role during the rescue mission, said, "The Silkyara rescue was never about one person. It was about people from different disciplines, cultures and backgrounds coming together with a single purpose - to bring 41 workers home safely. I am honoured that this extraordinary story will be brought to audiences around the world and hope it serves as a reminder of what humanity can achieve when we work together."

Mitu Bhowmick Lange AM, Founder and CEO of Mind-Blowing Films, also shared her thoughts on the project, saying, "From the moment I learned about the Silkyara rescue, I knew this story belonged on the big screen. It is a story of hope, perseverance and collective determination. To partner with Aamir Khan Productions on this project is truly special. We are proud to create what we believe will be a landmark Indo-Australian cinematic collaboration and a celebration of the deepening friendship between our two nations."

The announcement also received support from Australian leaders. The Hon Jacinta Allan MP, Premier of Victoria, said, "I'm really proud as Premier of Victoria about the existing strong relationship we have between Victoria and India, and further developing that through the creative industries, through co-production partnerships like Silkyara 41. This not only strengthens that relationship, but it tells our shared story to the world, a story that's founded on family, on hard work, on connection to community, on hope, and a love of the film industry. We've got so much in common, and that's what I'm looking forward to seeing as a result of this production."

The Hon Tony Burke MP, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for the Arts, added, "There is no greater story of Australian and Indian collaboration than Silkyara 41, and I'm so glad that it's going to be told on the big screen."

According to the makers, Silkyara 41 will recreate the rescue operation that drew global attention and showcased the power of teamwork, innovation and resilience. The film is being developed as an international co-production, with creative and production talent from both India and Australia.

Further details regarding the cast, additional production partners and the film's release timeline are expected to be announced at a later date.

Satluj row deepens: PIL filed in Punjab and Haryana High Court over Zee5 removal of Diljit Dosanjh film

The controversy surrounding Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj continues to intensify. A public interest litigation (PIL) has now been filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging the sudden removal of the film from streaming platform Zee5 and seeking its restoration across the country.

The PIL has been filed by Sharwan Singh, with the Union Government, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the Punjab Government, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, and ZEE5 named as respondents. The petition questions why the film, which is based on the life and work of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Kalra, was removed from the platform without any judicial, legal, or government directive.

Filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petition argues that the removal of Satluj infringes upon the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression. It further contends that the explanation citing only "current circumstances" is vague and fails to specify any concrete reason for taking down the film.

The PIL also raises concerns over the rights of paid subscribers, stating that viewers who have purchased access to content on the streaming platform deserve a transparent explanation for the film's abrupt removal. According to the petition, the lack of clarity has left audiences without any official justification despite having paid for the service.

Seeking the restoration of Satluj, the petition asserts that the film is based entirely on material already available in the public domain and does not disclose any confidential or classified information. It further notes that the events depicted in the film have previously been examined by the Supreme Court, various other courts, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), and other official proceedings, making the content a matter of public record.

The matter is expected to come up for hearing before the Punjab and Haryana High Court in the coming days.

For the unversed, Satluj, which was earlier titled Punjab '95, finally premiered on ZEE5 on July 3 after a prolonged battle involving the CBFC and several organisations. However, the film was unexpectedly removed from the streaming platform just two days later, on July 5, sparking widespread debate and criticism over its abrupt takedown.

Shah Rukh Khan buys family home in Delhi for Rs. 37 crores, takes full ownership of Panchsheel Park property

Shah Rukh Khan has added another significant asset to his extensive real estate portfolio by acquiring the second and third floors of a residential building in Delhi's upscale Panchsheel Park locality. The transaction, valued at Rs. 37 crores, gives the Khan family complete ownership of the property, which also holds deep personal significance for the superstar.

The residence is the former family home of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, where they lived before the actor relocated to Mumbai to pursue his career in the film industry. While the basement and ground floor of the building were already under the family's ownership, the latest purchase of the remaining two floors consolidates ownership of the entire property.

Situated on a sprawling 1,200-square-yard plot, equivalent to approximately 10,800 square feet or nearly a quarter of an acre, the residence is located in one of South Delhi's most sought-after residential neighbourhoods. The deal has reportedly been valued at Rs. 37 crores, with the underlying land estimated at around Rs. 34,260 per square foot.

The acquisition is being regarded as one of the most notable celebrity residential property transactions in Delhi in recent years. It further strengthens the Khan family's growing portfolio of premium real estate assets, which spans multiple cities in India as well as international destinations.

Over the years, Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan have built a reputation for making strategic investments in luxury properties. Gauri, one of the country's leading celebrity interior designers, has also played a key role in designing and developing several of the family's homes. Together, the couple owns high-profile properties in Mumbai, Dubai and other locations, reflecting their long-standing interest in premium real estate.

Beyond property investments and his successful production house, Shah Rukh Khan has also expanded his investments into the lifestyle segment through the D'YAVOL brand, which has ventured into apparel and premium whisky. These investments complement his entertainment business while reinforcing his position as one of the country's most influential celebrity entrepreneurs.

With the latest Panchsheel Park acquisition, Shah Rukh has not only reunited ownership of a home closely linked to his family's past but has also added another prestigious address to an already impressive portfolio of luxury assets.

Abundantia Entertainment announces Angre, Rajesh Mapuskar to direct film on Maratha navy admiral Kanhojiraje Angre

Abundantia Entertainment has announced Angre, a theatrical feature film chronicling the life of Sarkhel Kanhojiraje Angre, the Grand Admiral of the Maratha Navy who protected India’s western seas against the British and Portuguese for over four decades. The film will be directed by National Award winning filmmaker Rajesh Mapuskar in his second collaboration with Abundantia, following Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal. Abundantia is producing Angre in association with Mapuskar’s Magij Pictures.

Sarkhel Kanhojiraje Angre commanded a fleet from his headquarters at ‘Kolaba,’ defending the Konkan coast and asserting Maratha sovereignty over the Indian Ocean, carrying forward the maritime vision set in motion by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He remained undefeated through his career and a committed follower of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy.

Vikram Malhotra, Founder and CEO of Abundantia Entertainment, said, “Today is one of the proudest and most exciting days at Abundantia. Sarkhel Kanhojiraje Angre’s story is one that the world deserves to see, especially the younger generation that is unaware of the immense contribution of this legend to our great history. Telling this story with the immensely talented Rajesh Mapuskar, in our second collaboration together, makes it even more special. Rajesh’s craft, his natural instinct for storytelling on the largest stages, coupled with his deep understanding of the Maratha history and culture, make him the perfect filmmaker for a story of this magnitude. Today, we take the first step in this journey together.”

Director Rajesh Mapuskar said, “I was born and raised on the Konkan coast, the shores Sarkhel Kanhojiraje once ruled. This is an epic from the land I belong to. The story of Sarkhel Kanhojiraje Angre is one I have wanted to tell for years, one that deserves to be seen on the largest possible screen and felt by every Indian who watches it. Bringing this story to life with Vikram and Abundantia Entertainment, in our second collaboration, is an absolute delight. Abundantia’s belief in bold, uncompromising storytelling is exactly what a film of this scale needs. I could not have asked for a better home for it. Today, we begin the writing of the film, and I look forward to an exciting journey together.”

Abundantia Entertainment’s releases so far in 2026 include Daldal, Subedaar and Maa Behen. Titles slated for release later this year include Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal, in partnership with Star Studios and Collective’s Historyverse, the Netflix series Family Business, and the Prime Video series Sundar Poonam.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, "At the end of Dhamaal 4, there's a scene which indicates that Dhamaal 5 is also in the offing. And just like the first four parts, Dhamaal 5 is also expected to be a madcap, crazy entertainer, going by the sequence."

Hrithik Roshan to sell part of his Cult.fit stake - 6.33 lakhs shares through IPO

Hrithik Roshan is preparing to unlock a portion of his investment in fitness and wellness platform Cult.fit as the company moves ahead with its proposed initial public offering (IPO). While the actor will participate in the offer-for-sale (OFS), he is not exiting the business and will continue to hold equity in the company after the public issue.

As per the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) submitted by Cult.fit to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), Hrithik plans to sell 6,33,824 equity shares as part of the OFS portion of the IPO. The actor has been associated with the company for several years, wearing multiple hats as both an investor and one of its prominent brand ambassadors.

The filing further indicates that before the IPO, Hrithik owns approximately 19.01 lakh equity shares in the company, translating to nearly 0.20 percent of the pre-offer equity share capital. Following the proposed sale, he will continue to own the remaining shares, with the final holding depending on the eventual structure of the public issue.

At present, the financial value of Hrithik's stake sale cannot be determined as the company has not yet disclosed the IPO's price band. The valuation of the shares being offered will become clear once the pricing details are officially announced.

Cult.fit's proposed IPO consists of two components. The company intends to raise fresh capital through the issuance of equity shares worth up to Rs 950 crore. In addition, existing investors will collectively sell up to 17.86 crore equity shares through the offer-for-sale route. Hrithik Roshan is among the shareholders participating in this segment alongside several early investors.

Hrithik's decision to offload only a part of his holding suggests that he continues to have confidence in the company's long-term growth prospects. Rather than signalling a complete exit, the transaction represents a partial monetisation of his investment while maintaining his association with the fitness and lifestyle brand.

Over the years, the actor has played an important role in strengthening Cult.fit's public image through brand campaigns while also backing the company as an investor. His continued stake after the IPO reflects an ongoing relationship with the platform even as it prepares to enter the public markets.
