\r\nKeerthy Suresh, a celebrated actress in South Indian cinema, is a name that resonates with audiences for her powerful performances and thoughtful choice of roles. Although she hails from Kerala, her heroine journey began in Tamil and stepped into Telugu Cinema with the film Nenu Sailaja opposite Ram Pothineni, which was a hit and launched her into the spotlight.\r\nKeerthy Suresh gained national acclaim and a National Award for her portrayal of Savitri in Mahanati, and has since become a leading star in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam films. Her entry into Bollywood came with the Hindi remake of Vijay\'s Theri, titled Baby John, where she played Samantha\'s role, but the film failed to impress Hindi audiences and was a disappointing debut for her in the industry.\r\nDespite the setback of her first Hindi film, Keerthy Suresh\'s prospects in Bollywood did not end there. Her active participation in promotional activities for Baby John, even shortly after her marriage, caught the attention of several Bollywood producers and directors, earning her a reputation for professionalism and dedication.\r\nRecent reports suggest that Keerthy Suresh is now in advanced discussions to play the lead in a high-octane action entertainer starring Tiger Shroff, with Vidyut Jammwal also set to play a key role. This project is expected to feature heavy action sequences and could be a significant opportunity for Keerthy to establish herself in Hindi cinema. She is currently working on Rowdy Janardhana with Vijay Deverakonda in Telugu. She is also set to appear in the Hindi web series Akka this year.\r\n

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is back with director Anees Bazmee for an untitled comedy, marking their first collaboration since the 2011 film Thank You. The duo, who have previously delivered hits like Welcome (2007) and Singh Is Kinng (2008), are reuniting for a project which is a remake of Telugu Blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunnam that promises fast paced humor and a host of quirky characters.
Akshay has also recently reunited with other directors like Subhash Kapoor and Priyadarshan, but this new venture with Bazmee is creating a buzz as it kicks off today, January 20, 2026, at Royal Gold Studios in Goregaon, Mumbai. A massive indoor set has been built for the shoot, and a source close to the production described it as a classic Anees Bazmee comedy, filled with confusion and hilarious situations.
The first phase of filming will run for five weeks at Royal Gold Studios, focusing on indoor scenes. The second schedule is set to take place in Delhi. Akshay will start solo, with other cast members, including lead actress Vidya Balan, joining later in the schedule. The film&rsquo;s cast also includes Raashii Khanna, Vijay Raaz, Zakir Hussain, and Sayaji Shinde, promising a blend of comedy, romance, action, and songs.
The project is produced by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations, and while the title is still undecided, the team is focused on delivering a high energy, laugh a minute entertainer. Anees Bazmee also addressed rumors that the film is a remake of Sankranthiki Vasthunam (2025), stating that while the story is close to that premise and Dil Raju is producing both, the new film is not a direct remake and the team has put in a lot of hard work.

\r\nVijay\'s highly anticipated film Jana Nayagan has generated massive online buzz, crossing 1 million \"I\'m interested\" clicks on BookMyShow despite its theatrical release hanging in the balance. Originally scheduled for January 9, 2026, to coincide with the Pongal weekend, the film hit a roadblock when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) did not grant the expected UA 16+ certificate and instead referred it to a revising committee, throwing its release plans into disarray.\r\nThis surge in audience interest rivals Vijay\'s 2023 hit Leo, which had about 1.1 million BookMyShow interests, highlighting the star\'s enduring box office appeal even amid uncertainty. The Supreme Court recently declined to entertain a plea by producers KVN Productions for immediate clearance, directing them back to the Madras High Court, with a hearing scheduled for January 20, 2026.\r\nThe film\'s legal battle stems from a single judge Madras High Court order that initially directed the CBFC to issue the censor certificate, which was later stayed by a division bench, prompting the producers to seek relief in the Supreme Court. The CBFC\'s last minute decision to send the film to a revising committee, despite a prior agreement to grant a UA 16+ certificate, has been a major point of contention, with the producers arguing that the delay has jeopardized the film\'s planned release.\r\nThe ongoing court case has left fans and exhibitors waiting for a new release date, with no official confirmation yet, but the online interest remains high, reflecting the film\'s strong fan base. Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan features an ensemble cast including Mamitha Baiju, Bobby Deol, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Pooja Hegde, and Narain, among others. The film\'s music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.\r\n
