Prankster Nikhil’s Bushman Act Leaves Akshay Kumar and Audience in Splits on Wheel of Fortune 16th April 2026, Mumbai: On Wheel of Fortune, a fun-filled moment unfolded as contestant Nikhil brought his journey as a prank content creator to the stage. While interacting with host Akshay Kumar and fellow contestants Akshay and Purva, Nikhil shared how he started doing pranks from a young age and eventually turned it into content creation. He spoke about introducing bushman-style pranks in India and gaining rapid popularity, reaching 100K followers in just 45 days. When asked if he had ever faced trouble while pranking, Nikhil recalled an incident from Powai. Dressed as a bushman, he was hiding behind a bush to scare a passerby when a dog suddenly approached him and lifted its leg nearby. The unexpected moment left everyone amused. As he continued with the prank and revealed himself, both the dog and the passerby ran away, turning the entire situation into a burst of laughter for the audience and Akshay Kumar. Reacting to the story, Akshay Kumar shared his perspective on pranking, saying, “This is just to make people laugh. I think we should all be very supportive and try to understand what this man is trying to do. Jab tak aap ye prank se kisi ko physically hurt nahi kar rahe, kisi ko emotionally hurt nahi kar rahe, tab tak theek hai. Agar kisi ko lage, toh I think you should say sorry.” With this thoughtful take, Akshay Kumar struck a perfect balance between entertainment and responsibility. His words highlighted the importance of being mindful while creating content, reinforcing that humour should never come at the cost of someone’s well-being. The segment combined humour with a thoughtful message, highlighting both the lighter and responsible side of pranking.

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa fame Abhijeet Ghoshal announces Shiv Tandav Club Mix, says 'I wanted a version people stay with till the end' As devotional music evolves with changing listener habits, younger audiences are seeking formats that feel more immediate, energetic and immersive—where faith is not just heard, but felt. On the occasion of Masik Shivratri, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa fame Abhijeet Ghoshal announces his latest track, Shiv Tandav Club Mix, a powerful, high-energy reimagining of the Shiv Tandav Stotra. Interestingly, the roots of this composition go back to his school days. “I first worked on a version of Shiv Tandav when I was in Class 11. It stayed with me over the years, and I released that a few years back” he shares. “This new Clubmix version is a continuation of that journey, but with a sound that reflects who I am today.” The idea, he says, came from observing how audiences engage with devotional music today. “In many shows, I noticed people only sing the first few lines and then lose that connection. I kept asking myself—why can’t we create something that people stay with till the end, something they can hum, relate to and truly be a part of?” He adds, “This isn’t just a remix, it’s a way to help people feel devotion fully.” Blending fast-paced beats, layered chorus sections of Har Har Mahadev, and contemporary production, the track is designed to be both intense and accessible. “Shiv Tandav is already filled with energy,” Ghoshal explains. “I just wanted to present that energy in a way today’s listeners can instantly connect with. Not change it, just bring it closer to them.” Building on the strong response to his earlier Club Mix Hanuman Chalisa, which resonated with young listeners for its fresh, high-energy take on a traditional chant, Ghoshal continues to shape a distinct space in modern devotional music. He believes “When music makes you feel something strongly, that’s when the connection happens. Devotion doesn’t have to be still. It can move with you, grow with you and become a part of your everyday rhythm.”

Saiyaara Team Reunites: Mohit Suri, Akshaye Widhani, Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda return for an intense romance laced with heart-tugging music! YRF copy.jpeg The Saiyaara team is back! After the phenomenal success of Saiyaara, that became the all-time highest grossing love story in the history of Indian cinema, the celebrated team of director Mohit Suri, producer Akshaye Widhani (CEO of Yash Raj Films) and breakout Gen Z stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are set to reunite for an intense romance! The untitled film promises a cinematic experience that blends heartfelt storytelling with unforgettable melodies. Released to unprecedented acclaim and audience love, YRF’s Saiyaara emerged as one of the defining musical blockbusters of its time. It collected a staggering 338 crore nett in India & about 580 crore gross worldwide — an extraordinary achievement for a romantic musical with absolute newcomers. Its soul-stirring soundtrack dominated streaming charts for months, even after its release, further reinforcing the film’s pop cultural impact in India and worldwide, especially amongst the youth of today. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the Saiyaara pair became sweethearts of Gen Z! Ahneet, as their fans lovingly call them, are set to return with this film, bringing with them the infectious charm, authenticity in acting & scintillating chemistry that made their performances in Saiyaara so memorable. Mohit Suri says, “It’s always been love stories for me … overwhelming — when emotions are so unbound , self-consuming and become impossible to ignore. Love is supposed to be felt intensely and that’s why I naturally gravitate towards this as a storyteller. The film explores this unabashedly... so coming back with the same team from Saiyaara feels incredibly special, maybe it was always written in the stars. Reuniting … coming back home .. but with a renewed creative hunger. This time I feel like a newcomer... excited, anxious about this story and I hope my music will again touch people like I have always strived for through my films.” Akshaye Widhani says, “Mohit and our collaboration is built on a shared creative pulse and an ambition to tell stories that touch the hearts of people. With Mohit, it’s never just about making a film — it’s about chasing a feeling, a piece of music, a moment that lingers long after the screen fades to black. Saiyaara was one such moment that we will cherish forever. As we come together again, we’re searching for something even more honest, more vulnerable and more enduring with our second collaboration. We are thrilled to have Ahaan & Aneet in our film as the most-loved Gen Z pair reunite for a Mohit Suri romance.” The Ahaan-Aneet starrer YRF film is set to go on floors later this year and will be eyeing a 2027 theatrical release worldwide.

*”Punjab 1984 Was The First Film I Wanted To Make, But No One Wanted To Invest In It”: Anurag Singh on His National Award-Winning Diljit Dosanjh Starrer*

*”Punjab 1984 Was The First Film I Wanted To Make, But No One Wanted To Invest In It”: Anurag Singh on His National Award-Winning Diljit Dosanjh Starrer*

*“Diljit Dosanjh stood by me and said he wanted to do the film as well” - Anurag Singh on the making of his National Award Winning Film Punjab 1984* National Award-winning director Anurag Singh is among the notable voices in Indian cinema today. In a recent interview, the filmmaker revealed that Punjab 1984 was actually the first film he wanted to make, but the project initially struggled to find backing before it eventually materialised. Singh said, “To tell you the truth, Punjab 1984 was actually the first film I wanted to make, even before Jatt & Juliet. But at that time I was new and nobody wanted to invest in a subject like that. So I started with Yaar Annmulle with newcomers, which became a huge hit. Then I moved on to Jatt & Juliet, which broke a lot of barriers because nobody expected a Punjabi film to do that kind of business or attract non-Punjabi speaking audiences.” He added, “It opened doors and proved that Punjabi cinema had the potential to perform at the box office beyond Punjab. Once I had that credibility, after Jatt & Juliet 2, I told my producers that I wanted to make Punjab 1984. They were hesitant because they felt audiences knew me for rom-coms and comedies and didn’t want to revisit such a difficult period in Punjab’s history.” The eventual making of Punjab 1984 with Diljit Dosanjh went on to prove Anurag Singh’s conviction as a filmmaker. “But I insisted, and Diljit Dosanjh stood by me and said he wanted to do the film as well. Eventually the producers backed the project, and when Punjab 1984 released, it opened to the biggest opening ever for a Punjabi film at that time, something nobody had expected for a film on such a subject,” revealed the director. Punjab 1984 was not only a historic success at the box office, it also became one of the best reviewed Punjabi films of all time. One of the reviews described Singh as a creative genius who knows how to astutely navigate the thin line between art and commerce, creating cinema that has the critics applauding and audiences rushing to the theatres. Punjab 1984 is more than just a film. It is an emotional triumph that reflects the tenacity and powerful vision of the filmmaker, and a strong belief in his story. Border 2 has only continued that momentum in his journey shaped by conviction and not convenience.

LOVETC CLOSES YEAR ONE WITH 30% MONTH-ON-MONTH GROWTH; ANNOUNCES ACTOR TAMANNAAH BHATIA AS THE FACE OF THE BRAND Link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXJGsWMjKFn/ Early last year, in 2025, Ananya Birla announced her entry into the fast-growing beauty and cosmetics space with the launch of Birla Cosmetics. In April 2026, LOVETC — the company’s premium colour cosmetics brand — will complete a strong first year, marked by rapid growth at 30% month-on-month, expanding distribution, and a marketing engine built on digital-first scale and high-touch consumer outreach. As it enters its second year, LOVETC has appointed actor and entrepreneur Tamannaah Bhatia as the face of the brand. With a career spanning multiple film industries and a strong resonance across demographics, her association reflects the brand’s emphasis on cultural relevance, credibility, and scale. Beyond her celebrated presence across national and regional cinema, she embodies a genuine passion for beauty, making the association especially organic. In its first year, LOVETC built a focused portfolio across the lips and eyes categories, with products priced between ₹650 and ₹1,850. The brand saw strong traction for hero products such as Tint, Talk, Etc Radiant Glow Hydrating Tint (SPF 30 PA++), Pout, Perfect, Etc Matte Bullet Lipstick, and Melt, Miracle, Etc Treatment Oil-Infused Lip Balm. The brand’s early consumer metrics point to high purchase intent and cross-category shopping, with reported average order values ranging from ₹1,200 to ₹2,800 and an average of two items per transaction, indicating growing basket-building and repeat behaviour. The brand’s market momentum is being driven by key metros and high-potential regional hubs, including Mumbai, NCR, Chennai, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Patiala, Ludhiana, and Cochin. At the same time,Tier 2 cities, in particular, are demonstrating strong purchasing power alongside repeat purchases, reinforcing the opportunity for premium beauty beyond the top metros. On the distribution front, LOVETC entered 90 offline retail doors in its first year and is on track to cross 150 doors by Q2 2026. The brand’s approach to offline retail is deliberate and quality-driven — every new door is chosen for its fit with LOVETC’s premium positioning and its ability to meaningfully connect with the right consumer. Rather than scaling store presence for its own sake, LOVETC is focused on building depth in the right retail environments, ensuring that each touchpoint reflects the brand’s standards and adds genuine value to the consumer experience. This expansion is complemented by growing availability on quick-commerce channels. The brand will close the year with the launch of Ace, Face, Etc 4K Blur Matte Foundation, an eight-shade range tailored to diverse Indian skin tones, signalling a strategic extension into the face category along with other innovative launches like Multi-purpose stick The Etc and Love Bites the longwear lip tint. Speaking about the next steps for LOVETC, Ananya Birla shared: “Year Two is going to be big — there is a lot coming that I am genuinely excited about. But the brief for every new launch is the same as it was on day one: Does it perform? Is it playful? Is it kind to the person wearing it? Performance, playfulness, and kindness — that is the promise LOVETC made at the start, and it is the one we intend to keep. Everything we build from here will be held to that. Bringing Tamannaah on board as the face of LOVETC at this point feels especially pertinent, because she brings together an authentic love for beauty with a connection that cuts across audiences and geographies.” Tamannaah Bhatia shared her excitement: “I have always loved beauty as a form of self-expression, and what drew me to LOVETC is that it feels playful, thoughtful, and modern at the same time. I am excited to be the face of a brand that is creating products with both performance and personality, and I look forward to being part of its journey ahead.”

What follows is a witty moment that reveals the ‘commercial’ was just a simple water break. With its understated humour and BTS-style realism, this digital-first campaign shifts the lens, making Bisleri and the act of hydration the true stars of the story. Tushar Malhotra, Director of Sales & Marketing, Bisleri International, added, “We are delighted to partner with Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the third consecutive season as we continue to champion hydration and create impact. We are sure the refreshing and witty limited-edition reveal film, in collaboration with Jaideep Ahlawat and Rajat Patidar, Venkatesh Iyer, and Tim David from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team, will be enjoyed by our consumers across the country.” Commenting on the association, Mr. Rajesh Menon, CEO, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, said, “We’re always looking for ways to connect with our fans beyond the boundary, and this film with Bisleri does exactly that. It captures the camaraderie, the calm within the storm, and the moments that happen when the cameras are not supposed to be rolling. We’re proud to be part of this film that celebrates the game in such a refreshingly and entertaining way.” Commenting on the association, Mr. Jaideep Ahlawat said” “It was a privilege to collaborate with Bisleri and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on this project. I love how the film transforms something as basic as a water break into a compelling story. Its simplicity, combined with a natural flow of humour, is what really drew me to the campaign.” Through a mix of on-ground visibility, digital storytelling, and franchise-led content, Bisleri continues to redefine how brands engage with sporting moments shifting from traditional associations to storytelling that is subtle, immersive, and culturally resonant.
