EXCLUSIVE: In a RARE development, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri front-row seats priced HIGHER than back rows at PVR Oberoi Mall, Goregaon and yet SOLD OUT

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, is all set to release tomorrow. The advance booking has picked up since Monday night and the romcom is all set to take a decent start at the box office. Interestingly, an interesting development has happened, probably for the first time ever, with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.

It’s generally understood that in most multiplexes, the front-row seats are priced the lowest, and the ticket rates steadily rise as you move towards the middle and back rows. But in the case of PVR Oberoi Mall Goregaon East, the unthinkable has happened. Here, you’ll have to shell out a higher price if you want to see the musical entertainer in the first three rows. But your ticket will be cheaper if you select the middle or the back rows!

For the 8:00 am and 10:45 am show of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri on December 25, the first three rows, which come under the Classic category, are available for Rs. 370. But the Prime Class tickets are sold for Rs. 290.

For the 1:50 pm show of the film, Classic seats are sold for Rs. 430 while Prime Class tickets are available for Rs. 350. For the shows at 4:55 pm, 8:00 pm and 11:05 pm, one will have to shell out Rs. 540 for Classic seats and Rs. 460 for Prime Seats.

Interestingly, despite the tickets being in the front row and despite the higher rates, most of them are sold out or almost full. An exhibition source explained to Bollywood Hungama, “Since the tickets of the front row were fast-filling, the dynamic pricing came into play, and its rates went up.”

However, the exhibition source agreed, “This is unusual and probably happened for the first time ever as far as I remember.”

Chiranjeevi–Mohanlal collaboration confirmed; Bobby Kolli reunites with megastar

Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli, who earlier collaborated on Waltair Veerayya, are all set to reunite for their second project together. Multiple sources reveal that Mohanlal will join Chiranjeevi for the first time in his career. The two legends have long expressed deep admiration for each other’s work and often meet socially whenever they are in the same city.

Surprisingly, no one has previously attempted to bring Mohanlal and Chiranjeevi together on screen, making this collaboration a historic first for Indian cinema.

Shedding more light on the project, a source reveals, “Chiranjeevi plays the lead, while Mohanlal makes a powerful entry midway through the film—much like Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic appearance in Andha Kanoon.”

Akshaye Khanna walks out of Drishyam 3 over remuneration differences after Dhurandhar success: Report

Akshaye Khanna is currently enjoying a strong career resurgence, thanks to his power-packed performance in Dhurandhar. The actor has been widely praised for his restrained yet impactful screen presence, and the success of the recently released Ranveer Singh–starrer spy drama has firmly placed him back in the spotlight. Adding to this momentum, Khanna was also part of another blockbuster of 2025 — Chhaava as the lead antagonist— further consolidating his standing as one of the most reliable performers in the industry today.

With this renewed demand, it comes as little surprise that Akshaye Khanna has reportedly revised his remuneration. However, this fee hike may have had a ripple effect on one of the most anticipated films currently in production — Drishyam 3. For the unversed, Akshaye played a crucial role in Drishyam 2, the Hindi adaptation of the popular Malayalam thriller franchise led by Ajay Devgn and Tabu. His character added a significant narrative layer to the sequel, with audiences eagerly anticipating his return in the third installment.

However, according to a report by Bollywood Machine, the makers of Drishyam 3 were reportedly not prepared to meet Akshaye Khanna’s revised fee expectations. The report further claims that apart from financial negotiations, there may also be creative differences between the actor and the makers, which could have contributed to his reported decision to step away from the project.

That said, the situation may still be fluid. The same report suggests that this may not be a final call, as Akshaye Khanna is said to be in ongoing discussions with the makers to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution. Whether the actor ultimately continues with the franchise remains to be seen, but his involvement would undoubtedly add to the further intrigue surrounding the film.

Meanwhile, Drishyam 3 has already generated considerable buzz. Recently, the makers unveiled an announcement video featuring Ajay Devgn’s voiceover, teasing audiences about what lies ahead in the next chapter of the much-loved thriller. The film is being made simultaneously in Malayalam, with the original version expected to release first. The Hindi adaptation is slated to hit cinemas on October 2, 2026 — a date that holds special significance for the Drishyam franchise.

In addition to Ajay Devgn, Drishyam 3 will also star Tabu, Shriya Saran and Ishita Dutta in key roles. As fans await further updates, all eyes are now on whether Akshaye Khanna will return to the franchise that played a pivotal role in his recent cinematic journey.

EXCLUSIVE: Minimum 2 shows in single screens, 5 shows in 2 screen cinemas, 6 shows in 3-screen multiplexes - Release strategy of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri REVEALED

Two days are left for the release of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, and the excitement is slowly building up thanks to its fresh look, youthful appeal, music and casting. The advance booking of the film commenced over the weekend and in this article, Bollywood Hungama will inform readers about the demand put forward by Dharma Productions’ in-house distribution team in front of the single-screen theatres and multiplexes.

A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “The team of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri are aware that Dhurandhar is still unstoppable and will continue to find a huge audience on Christmas, when their film will arrive in cinemas. They also know that Avatar: Fire And Ash has taken up several shows and screens. Hence, they have asked for fair and modest showcasing, keeping in mind the realities.”

The source continued, “The distribution team of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has asked for a minimum of 2 shows in theatres with 1 screen. In 2-screen plexes, they have asked for 5 shows. Multiplexes with 3, 4, 5 and 6 screens need to play 6, 8, 12 and 14 shows a day, respectively. Lastly, for multiplexes with 7 screens and more, the team of the film have asked for 16 shows. This is the minimum number of shows that they have requested.”

The source then said, “Despite these fair demands, the team of the film is struggling to get the desired number of shows. As of 9:00 am on December 23, only theatres with 4 more screens and more have opened bookings, that too in just one screen. Single-screens and 2 and 3-screen cinemas are yet to commence ticket sales as negotiations are still going on. Thankfully, Avatar: Fire And Ash didn’t get a release in single screens and hence, these theatres need to divide shows only between Dhurandhar and the romcom. But even that is proving to be a challenge as the demand for Dhurandhar is just not subsiding even after 18 days. Moreover, both Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire And Ash are more than 3 hour films. So in multiplexes, dividing shows between the three films will also prove to be a challenge.”

An industry insider commented, “We have seen distributors being unreasonable and forcing cinemas to give 100% showcasing to their films. Keeping that in mind, kudos to Karan Johar and his team for being reasonable and practical and not asking for too many shows. Also, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri features a rising star like Kartik Aaryan and it belongs to a genre that has a lot of takers. Hence, we hope that cinemas give this film a chance.”

Shahid Kapoor to wrap up O Romeo shoot with 10-day patch schedule in Mumbai: Report

As 2025 draws to a close, the year stands out as a surprising one for the Indian film industry, marked by several sleeper hits. While the year is set to end with Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, anticipation around a slate of 2026 releases is steadily building. One of the most keenly awaited among them is Shahid Kapoor’s fourth collaboration with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, O Romeo.

The makers appear keen to wrap up filming quickly, with the final leg of the shoot scheduled to begin on December 28. The team is unlikely to take a break for New Year celebrations, as Bhardwaj plans to kick off a 10-day patch shoot at Vrundavan Studios in Malad.

According to a report by Mid-Day, this phase will include action sequences and dialogue-heavy scenes. A source quoted by the publication revealed, “It’s a patch shoot, with some action and dialogue-heavy scenes lined up.” The report further stated that the first two days will largely focus on Shahid Kapoor’s portions, while co-stars Triptii Dimri and Randeep Hooda will not be required during this phase.

Following a brief New Year break, the production is expected to resume with an additional eight-day shoot in January 2026. This schedule will reportedly involve crowd scenes and sequences using body doubles. “If required, the actors may be asked to report for a day or two,” the source added. Meanwhile, post-production work on the action thriller is already underway to ensure the film stays on track for its February 13 release.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner, O Romeo is being positioned as a visually driven, high-octane action thriller with a strong romantic thread. The film also stars veteran actor Nana Patekar. The film is slated for a Valentine’s Day 2026 release.

Rita Bhattacharya BREAKS SILENCE after Kumar Sanu’s Rs 50 crores defamation suit, calls for peace

Singer Kumar Sanu and his former wife Rita Bhattacharya are once again in the spotlight as a legal dispute unfolds years after their divorce. The veteran playback singer filed a defamation suit in the Bombay High Court against Bhattacharya, alleging that recent interviews she gave contained defamatory remarks that harmed his reputation and violated the terms of their divorce agreement.

In his petition, Sanu’s legal team, led by advocate Sana Raees Khan, has sought damages reported to be Rs 50 crores and has demanded that the interviews in question be taken down from various entertainment platforms. The suit claims that Bhattacharya’s statements breach a clause from their 2001 divorce settlement that prohibited either party from making allegations against the other in public.

Reacting publicly for the first time since the notice was issued, Bhattacharya described her shock at the legal action, particularly the financial demand involved. In an interview with ETimes, she said, “The paper he has sent me, he is asking for 50 crores. I don’t know how Sanu is dreaming that I have so much money. It is really sad. I’m shocked. He is filing a case against the mother of his three grown-up sons.”

The conflict partly stems from remarks made in media interviews and social media responses earlier this year, including reactions tied to comments by actor Kunickaa Sadanand about a past relationship with a married man. Bhattacharya and her son, Jaan Sanu, responded on social platforms, prompting further scrutiny and the subsequent lawsuit.

She further shared, “I never got a chance to talk to him. Neither my children ever got a chance to talk to him because he has always blocked us. I tried to call Sanu, but he never took our calls. We are blocked on his number." “I contacted his secretary and requested him to please stop this. It is a very big insult. My son was getting married, and the in-laws were asking questions. I requested many times. I have all the messages and recordings on my phone.”

Bhattacharya continued, “I am 63 years old, and again I have to fight in court. The first time he took me to court, I was pregnant with Jaan. Now again, at this age, I have to go through this. I will meet Sanu in the court after 31 years. This is very insulting. My children are not kids. They are grown-up men. My elder son will be 37, my second son will be 34, and Jaan is already 31. I don’t think it is their crime that they are answering people. They did nothing."

She also indicated she may pursue a counter-case, saying, “I will see him in court. And I will request Sanu with folded hands — just try to be a good human being and be the father of my three children. If you can’t love us, at least don’t disturb us and don’t harass us anymore."

In closing her remarks, Bhattacharya made a heartfelt appeal to her former husband, urging him to “be a good human being and be the father of my three children,” and asking that he stop what she described as harassment. The court is expected to hear the matter this month.

Nora Fatehi says she is “Alive and Well” after car accident caused by drunk driving: “That could have ended terribly”

Nora Fatehi recently opened up about the frightening moments surrounding the serious car accident she was involved in earlier this year, an incident that left her with a concussion and temporarily halted her professional commitments. Recalling the experience, the actor-dancer described how the crash unfolded suddenly, leaving her disoriented and shaken.

As previously reported, the accident occurred when a drunk driver rammed into the car Nora was travelling in while she was on her way to attend the Sunburn Festival in Mumbai, where she was scheduled to appear alongside DJ and music producer David Guetta. Following the collision, her team immediately rushed her to the nearest hospital. Doctors conducted a CT scan to rule out internal bleeding, after which she was diagnosed with a concussion and advised rest.

Speaking about the incident, Nora said, “Hey guys, I'm just coming here to tell you that I am okay. Yes, I was in a really serious car accident. A drunk person who was driving under the influence smashed my car, and unfortunately, the impact was quite severe, and it flung me across the car. I bashed my head on the window.”

Sharing her health update, Nora asserted, “I'm alive, and I'm well. Except for some minor injuries, swelling, and a slight concussion, I'm okay. I'm grateful for that. That could have ended terribly, but I came to say this to say that this is why you should not drink and drive.I hate alcohol to begin with. In fact, I am not someone who has ever liked the idea of alcohol or anything like that, such as drugs, weed, anything that puts you in a different state of mind... It is not something I promote or even enjoy being around.”

She further continued, “You should not drink and drive. It's 2025. I cannot believe that this is even a conversation. I can't believe that this is even a scenario that has to happen. At 3 p.m. in the afternoon, I could never imagine someone would be driving under the influence and putting people in harm's way. Having said that, I just want to let everyone know I'm okay. I'm going to be suffering from pain for some time, but, thank God I am alive.”

A day later, Nora marked a strong return to the spotlight as she joined David Guetta on stage at Sunburn Festival 2025, turning what could have been a subdued comeback into one of the most talked-about moments of the event. Her appearance went beyond a symbolic gesture, as the duo teased their upcoming global single ‘Fire Starter,’ which also features Ciara. A high-energy remix of the track was played live, offering fans an early preview and generating immediate buzz.

The timing of the appearance aligned with a significant phase in Nora’s international journey. She recently made her U.S. television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing ‘What Do I Know’ (Just A Girl) with Shenseea, and also delivered a high-impact performance at UNTOLD Dubai. Together, these moments underline a steady expansion of her global footprint.
