Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, and Suhana Khan were recently seen entering their new temporary residence, sparking curiosity among fans. Their public appearance together stirred buzz, as many speculated about the reason behind the move and admired the family’s united presence amid the transition.
Khan Family’s Presence Creates Buzz Online
The famous Khan family always grabs attention, and their recent move has made fans even more excited. In a video shared by Filmygyan, Shah Rukh, Gauri, and Suhana are seen entering a building. Suhana is wearing a yellow outfit, and SRK is dressed in a white shirt.
Mannat Undergoes Maintenance
SRK’s famous Mumbai home, Mannat, has been a popular spot for fans for years. But now, the actor and his family are getting ready to move out for a while. Mannat is set to undergo important maintenance work, so the family will be living elsewhere temporarily.

Reports suggest that the family has picked a new home that is much smaller than Mannat but still quite luxurious. Their temporary home includes two duplex apartments in the Puja Casa building, located in the upscale Pali Hill area of Khar. These apartments together span 10,500 sq ft, compared to Mannat’s 27,000 sq ft.
Apartments Rented from Bhagnani Family
The apartments are rented from actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani and his father, film producer Vashu Bhagnani. The monthly rents are Rs 11.54 lakh and Rs 12.61 lakh. The lease is for 36 months, beginning on April 1, 2025.
New Neighbours After Over Two Decades
Interestingly, for the first time in over 20 years, the family will have neighbours, as their two apartments span the first, second, seventh, and eighth floors of the building. Puja Casa is co-owned by the Bhagnani family and is named after Vashu’s wife, Pooja Bhagnani.

Even though the new home is smaller, it’s just 3 km away from Mannat, allowing the Khan family to remain close to their familiar neighbourhood while their iconic house undergoes renovation.
This new phase gives fans a peek into Shah Rukh Khan’s life as he manages work, family, and the renovation of his famous home, all while making sure his family stays comfortable during the move.

Kim Fernandez and Jacqueline Fernandez

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez’s mother, Kim Fernandez, breathed her last in Mumbai on Sunday. According to reports, Kim was undergoing treatment at a private hospital after suffering a heart stroke two weeks ago.

Jacqueline and her father, Elroy Fernandez, were earlier spotted at the hospital in Mumbai.

Recently, Jacqueline had skipped performing at the opening ceremony of the Indian Premier League in Guwahati due to her mother’s ill health.

A source had told ANI, “Jacqueline’s mother is still in the ICU. As the family awaits further update from the doctors, Jacqueline has chosen to be by her mother’s side, and, unfortunately will be missing performing at the IPL Ceremony.”

Jacqueline hails from a multi-ethnic family. She was born in Manama, Bahrain, to Elroy, a Sri Lankan, and the Canadian-Malaysian Kim. The couple had met in the ‘80s when Kim was working as an air hostess.

Meanwhile, new visuals posted by papparazzi show Jacqueline and Elroy entering a building for Kim Fernanadez’s funeral. Actor and Jacqueline’s Fateh co-star Sonu Sood was also seen attending the funeral.

Tamil star Prashanth has teamed up with filmmaker Hari for an upcoming film. The project reunites the actor and the director, 25 years after their film Thamizh.

The news was announced today, April 6, on the occasion of Prashanth’s 52nd birthday. Tentatively called Prashanth 55, the film was launched at a special birthday celebration event in Chennai.

“I have known Hari sir for 25 years now. We promise to deliver a nice movie that satisfies all expectations. This film will have a fast-paced screenplay, one that will stand the test of time. People appreciate Thamizh even after 25 years, and I believe our upcoming film will replicate that,” said Prashanth at the event before thanking his father and veteran actor-producer Thiagarajan.

“As you all know, he likes to up-scale all his films, and when I asked how we’re going to mount a project that would appeal to the latest generation, he said ‘Don’t worry, let’s make it as big as we can.’ So I thank him for that,” he added.

Other details about the film, including the cast and crew, are yet to be announced. Thiagarajan produces Prashanth 55 under his Staar Movies banner.

Prashanth was last seen in Vijay’sThe Greatest of All Time, directed by Venkat Prabhu. His last solo hero outing was Andhagan, the Tamil remake of Andhadhun. Hari’s last release was the Vishal-starrer Rathnam.

Days after reports surfaced about Shivaji Satam‘s exit from the iconic TV show CID, the makers officially announced the death of his character, ACP Pradyuman. 

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Sony TV confirmed, “ACP Pradyuman is no more,” marking the end of an era for the beloved series.

The makers shared a picture of the actor as ACP Pradhyuman and wrote, “In the loving memory of ACP Pradyuman… A loss that will never be forgotten.”

The Internet did not seem happy with the makers’ decision to dismiss Shivaji Satam from CID. People flooded the comments section with criticism.

One user wrote, “This is unacceptable and really shame on you @SonyTV. Have you lost your mind that you are writing this? There is only one ACP PRADYUMAN, and that is our dearly @shivaajisatam sir.”

“No one can ever replace @shivaajisatam sir as ACP Pradyuman. I beg you @SonyTV @Banijayasia. Please don’t replace him and especially with a youngster. You can show him either on holiday or retired but don’t dare to kill him permanently on the show. He’s the foundation stone,” read a comment.

In an interview with the Bombay Times, Shivaji Satam addressed the reports of his exit from CID. The actor said, “I have no clue about this. I have taken a break for some time, and the makers know what lies ahead in the show.”

He added, “I have learnt to take everything in my stride, and if my track is over, I am okay with it. However, I have not been told whether my track is over or not! As of now, I am not shooting for the show.”

CID first premiered in 1998 and had a remarkable 20-year run until 2018. The show made its comeback on Sony TV in December last year.

The Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) organised a solemn prayer meet on Sunday evening in memory of legendary actor Manoj Kumar, who passed away on April 4 at the age of 87. The prayer gathering is set to take place at the JW Marriott, Juhu, between 4 and 6 PM, and will likely see colleagues, directors and actors attending to honour the cinematic giant.
In an official statement, CINTAA wrote, “With deep sorrow, CINTAA shares the prayer meet details of Shri Manoj Kumar Ji (Shri Harikrishan Goswami), on behalf of the Goswami Parivar.” The association paid tribute to the veteran actor’s legacy, adding, “He made the nation and all of us proud with his zeal, vision and cinematic excellence.”
Affectionately called ‘Bharat Kumar’ for his timeless portrayals in patriotic films like Upkar and Purab Aur Paschim, Manoj was laid to rest with full state honours at the Pawan Hans crematorium on Saturday.

Bollywood icons poured in heartfelt tributes following his passing. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who worked with Kumar in Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974), attended the funeral in person and later shared an emotional black-and-white photo with the late actor on his blog. “In remembrance… and prayer in grief,” the 82-year-old wrote.
Veteran actor Dharmendra, who collaborated with Kumar on Shaadi and Maidan-E-Jung, also visited the actor’s residence to pay his respects. Sharing a throwback picture, Dharmendra wrote, “Manoj, mere yaar, tere saath beeta har pal bahut yaad ayega (Manoj, my friend, I’ll remember every moment spent with you).”
Actress Zeenat Aman, who starred opposite Kumar in Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, took to social media to post a still from the film and wrote, “Saddened to learn about the passing of Manoj Kumar. May his soul rest in peace.”
The funeral saw the presence of several Bollywood personalities including Abhishek Bachchan, Salim Khan, and Arbaaz Khan, all paying homage to the screen legend.

A still from ‘Burqa City’

Fabrice Bracq, the French director behind the 2019 Arabic short film Burqa City, has voiced concern over what he describes as “striking similarities” between his work and Kiran Rao’s recent feature Laapataa Ladies. The filmmaker said he was “shocked and saddened” upon watching the Indian film, which was brought to his attention by viewers online noting overlapping elements.

Bracq claims that the resemblance goes beyond surface-level coincidences. Speaking to IFP, he pointed out parallels in character archetypes, such as the “naive, loving husband,” a “violent, oppressive” spouse, and a corrupt police officer — figures that populate both narratives. He also flagged a pivotal twist in both films, where a veiled woman is revealed to have fled an abusive marriage, framing it as a core narrative similarity.

Bracq clarified that Burqa City was written in 2017, shot in 2018, and screened internationally in 2019, including at film festivals in Kolkata and Auroville in 2020. He said he had been in talks to adapt the short into a feature-length film, but now questions whether that remains viable in the wake of Laapataa Ladies’ critical and commercial success.

Laapataa Ladies was produced through a partnership between Kiran Rao’s Kindling Pictures, Aamir Khan Productions, and Jio Studios. With Laapataa Ladies recently making waves on the global stage and even entering the Oscars conversation, Bracq expressed hope of speaking directly with the producers “to sort this out.”

Meanwhile, Biplab Goswami, writer of Laapataa Ladies, has refuted any claims of plagiarism. In a statement issued Saturday, he noted that the story was registered with the Screenwriters Association back in 2014 under the working title Two Brides, with the full script filed in 2018. “These allegations not only undermine my work,” Goswami said, “but also that of the entire filmmaking team.”

The makers of Telugu superstar Ram Charan’s upcoming film, Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, unveiled a special glimpse video titled ‘First Shot Glimpse’ on Sunday (April 6). Further, the makers have also announced that the film will be released in theatres on March 27, 2026.

“To keep doing the same thing and living life on repeat—what’s the point of having such a big life? We must make the most of our time here. Who knows if there’s a next life?” says Ram as he steps into an arena to fight someone. We then see glimpses of slow-motion shots of the star from the film.

Peddi will star Janhvi Kapoor and veteran Kannada star Shivarajkumar in prominent roles. Jagapathi Babu and Divyendhu are also part of the cast.

With music composed by AR Rahman, the film has cinematography by R Ratnavelu, editing by Navin Nooli and production design by Avinash Kolla.

Peddi went on floors in Mysuru on November 22, 2024. The movie is produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Vriddhi Cinemas and Sukumar Writings.

Fans of pop sensation Ed Sheeran and iconic rock band Weezer are in for a musical treat, as both artists have been added to the much-anticipated Coachella 2025 lineup, reported Variety.

However, festival-goers won’t get both artists on the same weekend. Sheeran and Weezer will be playing virtually in the same time slot in the same venue on their respective Saturdays, with surprisingly early start times.

According to Variety, Weezer will perform in the Mojave tent on April 12 at 3:10 p.m., and Sheeran will take the same stage at 3 p.m. on April 19.

The ‘Blue Album’ fame rock band, Weezer, is scheduled to play for a brisk 45 minutes, while Sheeran will be given a full hour for performance.

Coachella posted the updated performance schedule on social media. The complete lineup includes the scheduled performances of singers Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Weezers, Green Day, and others.

The announcement of set times clears up a few mysteries, like how the equally billed Saturday headliners Green Day and Travis Scott will share performance duties on Saturday night of each weekend.

According to Variety, Green Day is scheduled to play those nights from 9:05 to 10:45 p.m. PT, and after a healthy set break, Scott will take the stage at midnight.

As per the lineup, Lady Gaga will take the stage at 11:10 on the two Friday nights, and Post Malone will cap things off on the Sunday night bills starting at 10:25.

The Coachella festival will span two weekends, with Gaga kicking off the festivities on Friday, April 11 and 18. She will be joined by performers like Missy Elliott, Lisa, FKA Twigs, Glorilla, Benson Boone, The Go-Go’s, and Three 6 Mafia.

Green Day will take the stage on Saturday, April 12 and 19, with an exciting lineup of artists including Charli XCX, Misfits, Anitta, T-Pain, LA Philharmonic, Jimmy Eat World, Alok, and Yo Gabba Gabba!

Two Sundays, April 13 and 20, will feature Post Malone as the headliner, following performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Zedd, Jennie, Shaboozey, Ty Dolla $ign, and others.

According to Variety, for Sheeran, his surprising addition is part of a slow rollout of promotion, information and music for his upcoming album, “Play.”

No release date has been announced for the record, and it’s said not to be looming immediately, but a first single from the album, “Azizam.”

The ‘Perfect’ singer will next be embarking on a tour of Europe from late May through August.

Cheran in a still from ‘Autograph’

In February, actor-director Cheran had announced that his 2004 film Autograph, considered a cult hit in Tamil cinema, is getting a re-release after 21 years. On Sunday (April 6), the director took to social media to announce that the film will be released in theatres on May 16.

The film, which catapulted Cheran to fame, follows the journey of a middle-aged advertising agent as he reminisces about the three women who influenced his life the most. Gopika, Sneha and Mallika starred as the female leads. Kanika, Ilavarasu, Krishnakumar Ramakumar, and Rajesh also played pivotal roles.

Autograph is especially known for its chartbuster album, which had songs composed by Bharadwaj. ‘Gyabagam Varuthe’ continues to be the go-to anthem in Tamil cinema for nostalgia; also sung by Bharadwaj, the song explored themes of being caught in the tides of change and the melancholy of looking back at our roots. In 2004, Gopika’s yellow saree adorned with Tamil scripts in the song ‘Manasukulle Dhagam’ became a trendsetter.

In particular, ‘Ovvoru Pookalume’ got acclaimed playback singer KS Chithra the Best Female Playback Singer National Award and popular lyricist-director Pa Vijay the Best Lyrics National Award at the 52nd National Film Awards. Notably, the film also won the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment award.

The film also won Tamil Nadu State Film Awards under Best Film, Best Director, and Best Female Playback Singer categories.

Autograph was remade in Telugu as Naa Autograph, starring Ravi Teja, in Kannada as My Autograph, starring Sudeep, and in Bengali as Amar Aponjon, starring Soham Chakraborty.
