\r\nKrithi Shetty reacts on her Hindi film with Tiger Shroff. Krithi Shetty captured the imagination of all with her riveting performance on debut in Vaishnav Tej\'s Uppena directed by Buchhi Babu Sana. She later went on to star in numerous films and now exciting rumours are spreading that she is set to makes her Bollywood debut.\r\nFans got excited when it came out that Krithi Shetty would be romancing Tiger Shroff in her Bollywood debut project under the direction of Milap Milan Zaveri. In the midst of all this, she reacted on her Bollywood debut.\r\nKrithi Shetty shared&nbsp; &ldquo;I have had a few offers, but sometimes the dates didn&rsquo;t align. Also, the Hindi film industry functions very differently. They usually plan and shoot schedules in one stretch, whereas in the South, it&rsquo;s more staggered. Because of that, things didn&rsquo;t work out, or the projects didn&rsquo;t feel right as my first Hindi film at that point.&rdquo;\r\nShe continued&nbsp; &ldquo;I grew up speaking Hindi, unlike Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam, which I had to learn later. Even during my acting workshops, everything was in Hindi, so the process felt easier and quicker. There&rsquo;s something very fresh and exciting about working in a language I completely understand&mdash;I know the words and their meanings instinctively. Hopefully, it will all fall into place soon.&rdquo;\r\nCurrently Krithi is starring in Vaa Vathiyaar along with Karthi, Pradeep Ranganathan\'s LIK and Ravi Mohan\'s Genie.\r\n

\r\nThe parents of a young doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at Kolkata\'s RG Kar Medical College have given their consent for a film on the incident. This comes after they had initially opposed the project. The consent letter, signed by the parents in mid-December, grants \"full and unconditional consent\" for the making of Tillotoma.\r\nThe victim\'s father said they agreed to give consent as the film was likely to be made anyway. \"I just want justice for my daughter,\" he said. He also claimed that he has repeatedly tried to reach out to several cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister\'s Office (PMO) seeking a speedy trial, but hasn\'t been granted a meeting yet. Director Ujjwal Chatterjee, the director of Tillotoma, told that delay in receiving consent has pushed the project back by around two months.\r\nThe film will be made with real names, and veteran actors Jaya Prada and Mithun Chakraborty have been signed to play the lead roles, with Payal Chatterjee set to portray the victim. However, legal experts have warned that consent alone does not automatically allow for public disclosure of a sexual offense victim\'s identity. Advocate Eesha Bakshi said Section 72 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita makes anonymity of sexual offense victims the rule.\r\nThe film, produced by Ujjwal Chatterjee Creations, will be filmed in New Delhi. Chatterjee cited \"political difficulties and sensitivity of the matter\" in West Bengal as reasons for moving the shoot out of Kolkata. The consent letter also states that the story is \"depicted from the perspective of the victim\'s mother... as a pivotal author back role.\" It also mentions that no monetary transaction has taken place between any parties involved with this project.\r\n

\r\nDhurandhar has become the highest-grossing Hindi film, beating Pushpa 2 and Jawan (â‚¹1050 Cr), and is now heading towards the â‚¹1100 Cr milestone. The film has also become only the second film to collect â‚¹700 Cr nett in the Hindi version in India, after Pushpa 2 (â‚¹730 Cr). Dhurandhar\'s success is even more impressive.\r\nConsidering it didn\'t have a Gulf release, which could have added around â‚¹100 Cr more to its revenue. Even without that market, the film is now looking to close at around â‚¹1200 Cr worldwide.\r\nThe film\'s strong run at the box office is reflected in its record-breaking OTT deal. Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for Dhurandhar for Rs 285 crore, marking the biggest OTT deal ever for a Hindi film. This deal surpasses the previous record of Rs 275 crore paid for Pushpa 2: The Rule, setting a new benchmark for digital rights in Indian cinema.\r\nDhurandhar\'s success can be attributed to its engaging storyline, strong cast, and impressive production values. The film features an ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun. The spy thriller follows an Indian undercover agent operating in Pakistan\'s Lyari neighbourhood, infiltrating gangs to dismantle arms smuggling networks.\r\nDhurandhar has created a milestone of collecting double-digit nett for 4 weeks, which is an all-time record, showing how strong the film\'s run is at the box office. The film is expected to premiere on Netflix on January 30, 2026, and its sequel, Dhurandhar 2, is scheduled for theatrical release on March 19, 2026. With its current momentum, Dhurandhar is likely to become the No.1 film for Bollywood this weekend.\r\n
