Mrunal Thakur has finally set the record straight about her rumored relationship with actor, filmmaker Dhanush. The actress clarified that Dhanush\'s presence at the premiere of her film Son of Sardaar 2 last year was purely out of goodwill and admiration, and not because of any personal relationship.\r\nThe speculation around Mrunal and Dhanush began in August 2025 when Dhanush attended the premiere of Son of Sardaar 2, sparking rumors that the two were dating.

He\'s such an institution, and it takes so much for an actor to be, you know, and to take out that performance from other actors, too.\" She described him as a multi-talented personality, lauding him for being not just a brilliant actor, but also a lyricist, singer, dancer, and director.\r\nExplaining how Dhanush landed up at the premiere, Mrunal said, \"It so happened that while they were shooting Tere Ishk Mein, I was just like, sir, can you please come for the screening of Son of Sardaar?

I really wish to work with him one day.\" Mrunal made it clear that she had only invited him casually and did not expect him to attend.\r\nReacting to the marriage rumors, Mrunal dismissed the claims, saying, \"Me? No. I think 14th April is going to be the 1st April&hellip;14th Feb is going to be the 1st April. April Fools\' Day. Because I don\'t know who started&hellip;First of all.

Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh, set to release on March 26, is facing a major challenge, screen count. The film's makers are gearing up for aggressive promotions, but the release of two major Pan-India films, Toxic and Dhurandhar 2, just a week prior, is creating screen pressure.
Toxic, starring Yash, and Dhurandhar 2, the sequel to Bollywood's industry hit, are releasing on March 19 in multiple languages, including Telugu. With a reported â‚¹500+ crore budget and strong distribution backing, Toxic is likely to occupy a large chunk of theatres, impacting Ustaad Bhagat Singh's screen allocation.
The impact won't be limited to Telugu states alone, as both films are Pan-India releases. Screen allocation pressure is expected in almost all major circuits. Adding to this, Sharwanand's Biker is scheduled to release on April 3, backed by Dil Raju in Telugu states, creating another layer of distribution complexity.
Trade analysts believe that while Ustaad Bhagat Singh will command strong fan-driven openings, achieving a huge theatre count similar to other major star releases may be challenging. The film's success will heavily depend on its first weekend performance.&nbsp;
Ustaad Bhagat Singh, directed by Harish Shankar, carries strong expectations, given the duo's previous success with Gabbar Singh. The makers are hoping for another massive commercial entertainer, but the current scenario poses significant challenges.

Swara Bhaskar blasts Taliban. Swara Bhasker known for her bold and frank talk and is a vehement critic of the PM Modi and the BJP, this time trained her guns on Taliban after its government passed a law legalizing domestic violence and jailing women.\r\nShe posted&nbsp; &ldquo;Unf**king-believable!!!!! Honestly among the worst specimens of the human race, relentlessly cruel and brutal, absolute monsters the Taliban. An insult to humanity and to the religion they claim to represent. Absolutely despicable.&rdquo;\r\nTaliban had formalized a sweeping 90-page criminal code, signed by its supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada. Under&nbsp; the Taliban&rsquo;s new penal code, domestic violence by a husband is largely permitted under certain conditions. A husband may beat his wife, but punishment only applies if the assault is done with a stick and causes severe injury, with the burden of proof falling on the woman.\r\nMeanwhile, a woman could reportedly face up to three months in jail if she leaves her husband&rsquo;s home without permission and refuses to return upon his request. The code further states that relatives who shelter her in such situations may also be considered to have committed a crime.\r\nThere are&nbsp; many such laws passed by the Taliban in Afghanistan.&nbsp;
