Watch this week’s important entertainment news below:
1. Pralaya was said to be the most expensive film of Ranveer Singh’s career.
After the historic success of Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh is gearing up for his next film, which is touted to be the most ambitious film of his career. Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that the actor is excited to star in Doomsday, a high-concept zombie drama set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, directed by Jay Mehta. Made on a budget of around Rs 300 crore, this film is the most expensive standalone project of Ranveer’s career.
A source close to the development reveals, “Ranveer has entered into a backend profit-sharing deal and is involved in every stage from script development to VFX planning. This is also his first venture under his production banner, Maa Kasam Films, which makes it even more special for him.” We’ve also heard that Doomsday will rely heavily on VFX and content alike. Pralay is set to go on floors in May or June 2026.
2. Celebs came forward to help Rajpal Yadav
Sonu Sood came forward to extend support and help Rajpal Yadav get back on his feet. Speaking to X, Sood announced that Rajpal Yadav will be a part of his upcoming film and appealed to the film fraternity to rally in support of the actor. Sood wrote in his post, "Rajpal Yadav is a talented actor who has given unforgettable work to our industry over the years. Sometimes life is unfair, not because of talent, but because time can be cruel. He will be a part of my film and I believe this is a moment for all of us…producers, directors, colleagues to stand together. A small signature amount adjustable for future work is not charity, it is dignity. When one of our own is going through a difficult time, the industry should remind them that they are not alone. This is how we show that we are more than just an industry".
Joining the voice of support, actor Gurmeet Choudhary also expressed his concern and promised help. He tweeted, "It breaks my heart to see a senior, extremely talented artist like Rajpal Yadav ji going through such a painful phase. They have given us countless smiles, laughter and unforgettable moments. Today he needs us. As a fellow actor and a human being, I look forward to helping in whatever way I can. I humbly request all the producers, directors and members of our film fraternity to come together with compassion and humanity and find solutions. Our industry is a family. And the family does not abandon its loved ones."
3. Ram Charan, Upasana have named their twins Shiv Ram, Anvira Devi
Expressing his happiness, Chiranjeevi shares the first look of the naming ceremony of Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela’s newborn twins. “With immense joy and divine grace, we are happy to announce the beautiful names of our two little blessings,” she wrote on Instagram. The Godfather star further talked about the origins of both the children’s names, and wrote how Shiv Ram is a ‘profound confluence of two eternal ideals’, with “Shiv” inspired by Shiv Shankar Vara Prasad and “Ram” inspired by Ram Charan. The boy’s name ‘symbolises the harmony between inner strength and responsible action.’
Meanwhile, they named the baby girl Anvira Devi, ‘a rare and powerful expression of the divine femininity.’ Here, Anveera Kanaka is inspired by the blessings of Goddess Durga, and reflects ‘grace, courage and unwavering strength’.
