Alia Bhatt has joined the celebrations for the cult classic horror-fantasy film Tumbbad as it marks eight years since its original release. The Bollywood star took to her Instagram Stories to share a fun picture of herself wearing the film’s iconic, custom-made eye mask. Known for its dark, atmospheric aesthetic, the mask has become a symbol of the movie’s unique visual identity. While the post was a lighthearted nod to the anniversary, it has further fueled the growing anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel, Tumbbad 2.

This social media shoutout follows the official confirmation from July that Alia Bhatt will be joining the franchise. Sohum Shah, who starred in and produced the original, welcomed the actor to the project on Instagram with the caption, “A new chapter unfolds. Welcome to Tumbbad 2, Alia Bhatt.” This collaboration marks a significant career milestone for Bhatt, as it serves as her first full-fledged venture into the horror genre, promising a fresh and chilling new direction for the popular series.

Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, the 2018 original Tumbbad explored themes of greed, mythology, and fear through the story of a man searching for hidden treasure in a remote village. Though it had a modest start at the box office, the film evolved into a massive cult hit, recently drawing massive crowds during its 2024 theatrical re-release. Now, Sohum Shah is hard at work on the next chapter alongside director Adesh Prasad. With the ominous tagline ‘Pralay Aayega’ already creating a buzz, Tumbbad 2 is being produced under the banner of Sohum Shah Films in association with Pen Studios, with Pen Marudhar handling the distribution.

Fans of Thalaiva can breathe a sigh of relief. Following a flurry of speculative reports suggesting that the Hindi version of the highly anticipated Rajinikanth starrer Jailer 2 might skip a theatrical release, the makers have stepped in to clear the air. Putting all rumors to rest, the production team has officially confirmed that the film is very much on track to hit North Indian screens on October 15, just as originally scheduled.

In an official statement, the makers addressed the confusion head-on, noting that there has been no change to their distribution plans. The film will be distributed across North India by Pen Marudhar Entertainment, arriving in cinemas simultaneously with its other language versions. The team also urged media platforms to stop circulating unverified information, emphasizing that the global release date remains firmly set for October 15, 2026.

As the sequel to the massive 2023 blockbuster, Jailer 2 has already generated immense buzz. The recently dropped trailer gives us a glimpse of Rajinikanth’s iconic character, Muthuvel Pandian, transitioning from a quiet life back into a world of high-stakes violence. With Anirudh Ravichander’s signature pulse-pounding score and a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Mohanlal, and a menacing SJ Suryah, the film is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. Yogi Babu also returns to add his trademark wit, ensuring the action is balanced with plenty of flair.

The trailer for Abhinay Deo’s upcoming film Doosra has officially dropped, and it is already winning big endorsements from some of India’s biggest names. Bollywood icon Anil Kapoor and Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma have both come out in support of the film, which hits theatres on October 23. The movie revolves around the historic 2002 NatWest Series final, where India pulled off a legendary victory against England at Lord’s, a match that remains etched in the memory of every cricket fan.

At the heart of the film is the iconic image of Sourav Ganguly waving his shirt from the Lord’s balcony, a moment that serves as more than just a sporting highlight. In Doosra, this act of defiance becomes the catalyst for Tara, a young girl living in a conservative household, who finds the courage to fight against societal norms after witnessing the celebration on television. Director Abhinay Deo describes the film as an emotional journey, framing Ganguly’s famous celebration as a symbolic shedding of colonial baggage that inspires a young girl to claim her own freedom.

Anil Kapoor expressed his admiration for how the film seamlessly weaves reality with fiction, noting that the 2002 win gave an entire generation the belief that India could triumph on any stage. Rohit Sharma, who was just 15 at the time of the match, shared similar nostalgia, stating that the film beautifully captures the significance of that win beyond the boundaries of the cricket pitch. The project is produced by Masha Sajdeh and Rohan Sajdeh and features a cast including Plabita Borthakur, Ankur Vikal, Samidha Guru, Tvisha Seema, and Krishna Gokani, with a score composed by Ram Sampat.

The landscape of Indian cinema is witnessing a futuristic shift as the first poster for the upcoming horror film Jamlok has been officially unveiled. A collaborative venture between AI filmmaking company Koyal AI and production house Waveband Production, the project promises to push the boundaries of storytelling by blending cutting-edge technology with traditional filmmaking. The film is currently in development and is expected to reach completion within the next three months.

What sets Jamlok apart is its unique hybrid approach to production. Rather than relying solely on digital generation, the film will integrate Generative AI technology alongside live-action performances from real actors. This dual method aims to create a chilling, immersive experience that bridges the gap between machine-generated visuals and human-led dramatic performances.

The first look of the project was revealed at the Uncanny India festival, hosted at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi. This event served as the Indian debut of Koyal’s renowned Uncanny Valley Fest, a global platform that has previously traveled to major hubs like San Francisco, Austin, and Pittsburgh. The festival brought together a diverse crowd of filmmakers, students, and tech professionals to explore the evolving role of AI in media.

During the festival, participants were challenged to create AI-powered content in just one day, covering categories ranging from music videos to advertising and short films. Out of the submissions, nine standout projects were selected for screening, highlighting the growing talent pool of Indian creators experimenting with AI. As Jamlok moves into its final production phase, it stands as a pioneer in the local industry’s transition toward AI-assisted cinematic storytelling.
