Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were seen celebrating Diwali together on Sunday night. The actors attended a Diwali party hosted by Salman's sister Arpita Khan, which also saw the presence of several other Bollywood celebrities. Interestingly, their reunion coincided with the release of Salman's much-awaited film Tiger 3, which opened to bumper response at the box office. Videos of Salman and Shah Rukh exiting the party venue together have gone viral, much to the delight of their fans. Their camaraderie was heartwarming to see, especially considering SRK has an extended cameo in Tiger 3. The film registering an impressive opening has added to the celebratory mood. Overall, it turned out to be a Diwali bonanza for the fans of the two superstar Khans. [ photo courtesy: screengrab from @viralvayani, @Manav.mangalani /instagram]

Salman Khan returns as Tiger in the entertaining but inconsistent actioner Tiger 3. The film sees Tiger recharged for a new mission, packed with over-the-top action and mind-boggling twists. Director Maneesh Sharma delivers decent performances and an intriguing, if unevenly paced, plot. The first half underwhelms despite the complex story. The second half picks up momentum with top-notch fights and whistle-worthy moments. At 1.5 hours, it feels stretched until Shah Rukh Khan's much-touted 15-minute cameo energizes it as the highlight. Tiger 3 ultimately delivers a fulfilling climax but underutilizes Salman's stardom with an inconsistent pace. Entertaining for fans, just don't expect subtlety.

The Delhi Police has registered an FIR over a viral deepfake video of actor Rashmika Mandanna. The video shows a woman's face edited using AI to resemble Mandanna inside an elevator. Mandanna expressed hurt and concern over the misuse of technology. The police case cites charges including identity theft and privacy violation under the IT Act. This comes after the Indian government issued a stern reminder to social media platforms about legal provisions governing deepfakes. Deepfakes use AI to digitally replace a person's likeness in media. Mandanna, known for films like 'Pushpa', spoke out against her video, prompting police action. 

Rumors circulate that Salman Khan's upcoming film, 'Tiger 3,' is reportedly banned in Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar, echoing the fate of Akshay Kumar's 'Samrat Prithviraj.' Speculations point to the portrayal of Islamic countries and characters in a negative light as the reason behind the alleged ban. While unconfirmed, fans speculate on social media, linking the ban to Katrina Kaif's towel scene. 'Tiger 3' is anticipated to set new Diwali box office records upon its release.

Shah Rukh Khan treats fans to fresh Dunki posters on Diwali, building anticipation for the upcoming film directed by Rajkumar Hirani.

The #DunkiDrop1 teaser, released earlier, introduces a heartwarming tale of four friends navigating life-changing journeys. Starring Taapsee Pannu alongside Shah Rukh, Dunki promises a blend of love, friendship, and real-life experiences. The film is set for a Christmas release in cinemas worldwide.

Hollywood actors have reached a deal to end their months-long strike against major studios. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) agreed to a new 3-year contract with Disney, Netflix and others including higher pay and AI protections, ending the 118-day strike.

George Clooney told Drescher he'd have bet his house they couldn't get such a deal. Meryl Streep suggested Drescher run for president next. Mark Ruffalo tweeted congratulations, saying "When we fight we win" and urging inspiration from fellow union members. The deal brought relief after disrupting Hollywood for months.

Salman Khan's upcoming film, Tiger 3, is generating immense anticipation among fans and experts alike. Despite Salman's recent string of moderate performers and flops, trade experts are optimistic about Tiger 3's success, predicting a global opening of Rs 100 crore.

Scheduled for a Diwali release, industry insiders believe the film's strategic timing and Salman Khan's enduring stardom will contribute to its long-term success, marking an essential milestone for the actor in the Bollywood industry.
