The official adaptation of the cult blockbuster Anniyan will be mounted on a large scale and will go on floors in mid-2020.

Ranveer said he feels blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of the spectacular cinematic vision of Shankar sir. Praising the filmmaker, he called Shankar, an exception to the norm, a genius, visionary, and a true disruptor who has shown us that no vision is large enough to achieve on screen.

Talking about Anniyan, the actor said that working as a lead in a film like Anniyan is a dream come true for any artist. I can only hope that my interpretation and rendition of the part also connect with audiences in the same way as it did with Vikram sir. It’s undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime performance piece, and I am ready to give this role every single ounce of my being, he added.

While according to Shankar, to make the Hindi remake of Anniyan needed a maverick, charismatic showman like no other to play the part. I found this in the mercurial Ranveer Singh because he is a one-in-a-generation actor who has shown us that he can immortalise a character through his stellar performance, the filmmaker said.

Meanwhile, the 2005 film Anniyan is a psychological action thriller film that revolves around a man who gets frustrated at seeing an increasing social apathy and public negligence. This leads to a split personality as he attempts to right the system. The South actor Vikram has played the lead role in the film. The film was a blockbuster at the box office at that time. Moreover, it bagged a National Award in the Special Effects category.

Bollywood star Salman Khan has announced his upcoming collaboration with Sanjay Dutt for a major action film. The two actors, who previously starred together in hit films like Saajan (1991) and Chal Mere Bhai (2001), discussed their new project during a press interaction in Mumbai on March 27.

Salman stated, “After Sikandar, I am set to do another big film that promises next-level action—specifically a rustic kind of action. I’m excited to work with my older brother in the industry, Sanjay Dutt.”

In addition to this project, Salman confirmed that his collaboration with Tamil director Atlee is currently on hold due to budget constraints. “That’s delayed. The budget is an issue for that film. He (Atlee) has written a very large-scale movie,” he mentioned, adding that the director for the action film with Dutt has yet to be confirmed.

The iconic duo of Salman and Sanjay Dutt gained widespread acclaim for their roles as adoptive brothers in Saajan, which became a cultural phenomenon in the 1990s. They also appeared together in the comedy Chal Mere Bhai, directed by David Dhawan.

Recent reports have suggested that the actors might have special appearances in an American thriller filmed in the Middle East.

Salman’s film Sikandar is scheduled for release in theaters on March 30, coinciding with Eid al-Fitr. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the movie stars Rashmika Mandanna and Tamil actor Sathyaraj. Salman described the film’s narrative as morally uplifting, stating, “Its basic theme is that a king or a noble man will always do good, no matter where he is.”

Addressing recent concerns, Salman Khan spoke out about the death threats he has received from Lawrence Bishnoi, saying, “Bhagwan, Allah, everything is up to him.”

In his recent outings, including Tiger 3 and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Salman has embraced his action hero persona. As co-producer of Sikandar, he chose not to set ticket prices at a reduced rate, referencing a negative experience with pricing during the release of Jai Ho (2014). “We kept the ticket prices at 200 rupees for that film, but it didn’t work out well,” he reflected. “For Sikandar, standard prices will apply.”

Emraan Hashmi is all set to return to one of his most iconic roles, as he announced the release date of Awarapan 2 on Monday. The sequel to the 2007 cult film Awarapan will arrive in cinemas on April 3, 2026, the actor revealed via Instagram on his 46th birthday, along with a teaser of the film.

Hashmi, who turned 46 today, marked the occasion by unveiling the teaser and the release date on his Instagram handle. Captioning the post with a powerful line from the film, he wrote: “Bas mujhe kuch aur der zinda rakh… #Awarapan2 in cinemas, 3rd April 2026.”

Directed by Mohit Suri and produced under the Vishesh Films banner, Awarapan starred Hashmi alongside Shriya Saran and became a significant part of the 2000s pop culture wave. Known for its haunting soundtrack and brooding narrative, the film cemented Hashmi’s status as a romantic anti-hero.

The confirmation of a sequel comes after weeks of speculation, which were sparked earlier this month when Hashmi posted an animated teaser hinting at the film’s return.

In recent years, Hashmi has leaned back into mainstream cinema. In 2023, he notably played the antagonist in Tiger 3. He is also making his Telugu debut in the upcoming action film OG, co-starring Pawan Kalyan and Priyanka Mohan. Additionally, Hashmi will feature in G2, the sequel to Goodachari (2018), alongside Adivi Sesh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Madhu Shalini.

Hashmi was last seen in the web series Showtime, alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Mahima Makwana, and Mouni Roy.

Expanding his footprint in digital content, Hashmi is also headlining Ground Zero, a Kashmir-set BSF drama series.

With Awarapan 2, Hashmi’s return to one of his most-loved characters has sparked nostalgia among fans and added another big project to the actor’s packed slate.
