The once promising YRF Spy Universe, which delivered Bollywood's first Rs 500 crore grosser with Pathaan, is now grappling with an uncertain future as recent releases like Alpha and War 2 fail to ignite the box office.
Alpha is a botched up opportunity, rues Sukanya Verma.
From Fahadh Faasil and Dilip Kumar to Sridevi and Shah Rukh Khan, a look at Indian actors who reportedly came close to starring in iconic Hollywood blockbusters but ultimately missed out.
Yash Raj Films has dropped the teaser for Alpha, a thrilling first look at Alia Bhatt's origin story as a spy in the YRF Spy Universe.
Bollywood has announced plenty of high-profile sequels with fanfare, only for a few of them to vanish into endless delays, casting chaos and development hell.
From Ramayana Part 1 and Alpha to King and Toxic, here's why the next six months could be one of Indian cinema's most exciting line-ups in years.
From blink-and-miss song appearances to scene-stealing guest roles, Hrithik Roshan has turned even cameos into memorable moments.
'She has never done this kind of action before, and I was amazed seeing how prepared she was for the shoot.' 'I could see she was giving her all because action is hard to pull off, and she went for it.'
Be it a sun-kissed glow or golden tan, the magic of bronzer in one's make-up kit is all you need to pay a scorching ode to summer glamour. Bollywood's most stylish gals demonstrate the trend.

A lighthearted joke by comedian Zakir Khan at the Chetak Screen Awards 2026 has ignited a debate within Bollywood about jealousy and artistic contribution following the success of 'Dhurandhar 2'. The film's box office triumph has exposed underlying tensions and prompted discussions about star power and creative content.

What's a regular day like for Bollywood's stars? Photographer Viral Bhayani captures them going about their day.
Alia Bhatt celebrated her 33rd birthday with family, sharing photos of the celebrations on social media. The actress also has an upcoming spy thriller film called 'Alpha'.
In times when films have struggled to score Rs 50 crore (Rs 500 million) in their first weekend, this Ranveer Singh-led multi-starrer has done that in its fourth weekend, which is unprecedented.
'His belief that he is touched by the Almighty reflects in his performances.'
Does Pathaan have a story wonders Namrata Thakker.
'Ranbir Kapoor has only one film as does Salman Khan.' 'Hrithik Roshan only has War 2.' 'Ranveer Singh has no film on floors today.'
Director Siddharth Anand may come on board to direct Tiger vs Pathaan.
More than anything else, Pathaan is a silent and subtle statement of Shah Rukh Khan about his place, his commitment to cinema and, if one can say, his politics, observes Mohammad Asim Siddiqui.
'He's been doing something we don't talk about much, working with acid attack survivors.' 'He supports them not just emotionally, but also financially.' 'His Mir Foundation helps them with the surgeries they have to go through to step out again and get back their lives.' 'He doesn't talk about it and I only learnt about this when we were in Kolkata once and some of the girls had come to meet him at the hotel.'
Arijit Singh is all set to make history.
Only 55 days left to go before we get to watch Shah Rukh Khan in his new film, Pathaan!
''Guns and grace galore. @deepikapadukone is all that and more!'
'Today, the risks have risen.' 'So stars need good content and good content needs stars.' 'It is now X+Y (star + content) not that X is greater than Y or Y is greater than X.'
It's doing better than two of the biggest entertainers from the south: Baahubali: The Conclusion and KGF: Chapter 2.
From being the biggest opener to being the fastest entrant into the Rs 100 crore, 200 crore and 300 crore (Rs 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion) club to going past the Rs 400 crore (Rs 4 billion) mark with ease to opening the Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) club for Bollywood and now crossing the lifetime collections of the Hindi dubbed version of Baahubali: The Conclusion (Rs 511 crore/Rs 5.11 billion), Pathaan has done it all.
'Writers are always nervous.' 'If you go to a party, you will notice that the writers are always in a corner of the party, looking anxious, sweating and tense about something or the other.' 'I am that kind of person.'
It was a festive occasion at the Eden Gardens with Shahrukh Khan cheering on the Kolkata Knight Riders during their first home game of the season.
Shah Rukh Khan's weathered intensity, grizzly charisma and trademark wit lends Pathaan's all-out, devil-may-care antics a sense of purpose that evades mindless acts of mayhem, cheers Sukanya Verma.
In a video shared by the VHP, activists can be seen shouting slogans and tearing posters as well as large cut-outs of Pathaan's star cast.
It's been a long time since we saw Shah Rukh grace the big screen but going by the Pathaan teaser, it's safe to say the superstar is making a dhamakedaar comeback.
Monday is the 20th day of release for the film, and it's still scoring in excess of Rs 10 crore (Rs 100 million), with the weekend showing a good jump all over again.
The Gujarat unit of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Tuesday withdrew its protest against Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan, a day before its release, expressing satisfaction over the removal of 'objectionable' contents from the film.
The underlying message is clear: Please do not question Shah Rukh Khan's loyalty to India. He is Indian, loves his motherland. And he will continue to entertain India for as long as he can, applauds Aseem Chhabra.
They were not houseful by Wednesday night but rest assured, there will be hardly any seats available by the time full-fledged booking opens for regular screens on January 20.
Their number is dwindling, but single-screens believe they have a place in the entertainment space
