Mumbai, April 25 - Sidharth Malhotra-fronted action thriller film Yodha, directed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha has been postponed to September 15, 2023, from its originally announced July 7 release. ## Produced by Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions in association with Amazon and Shashank Khaitan, "Yodha" is set against the backdrop of an airplane hi-jack. The shoot of the movie is already wrapped up and it is currently in the post-production work. ## Even though the movie was on track to release on July 7, the makers feel that it needs a clear window to shine at the box office rather than competing with others in a jam-packed schedule.## Yodha is touted to be a special collaboration between Karan Johar and Sidharth Malhotra, as the inside reports about the film indicate a high-on-content action thriller. It's an edge-of-the-seat airplane hijack story that also features Disha Patani and Raashii Khanna in key roles. ## SIDHARTH MALHOTRA: 'YODHA' GETS NEW RELEASE DATE... #Yodha - starring #SidharthMalhotra, #DishaPatani and #RaashiiKhanna - gets new release date: In *cinemas* on 15 Sept 2023… Directed by #SagarAmbre and #PushkarOjha.#KaranJohar and #PrimeVideo presents in association with… pic.twitter.com/FEdscwOHB4— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) April 25, 2023 ## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar's 'Hera Pheri 3' Gets Into Legal Trouble

Mumbai, April 23 - Akshay Kumar's highly-anticipated Hera Pheri 3 is not finding it easy to get going as the film continues to be in legal trouble. In fact, the threequel is in trouble ever since its development was officially revealed by the media after years of speculations. ## Earlier this year, it was revealed that the makers have shot a promo featuring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal as they were planning to make the official announcement soon. However, there was massive criticism when it came to light that Farhad Samji might be directing the film as fans started trending 'Remove Farhad Samji From Hera Pheri' on Twitter. ## Due to the heavy backlash, the official announcement, which was expected to be made in early April, got postponed. That is not the only problem makers have been facing as some days later, T-Series issued a public notice claiming that the production house is the "sole and exclusive right holder of all copyright of all Music and Audio Visual Song Rights" of the franchise in all mediums. ## And now, another legal notice has been served to the makers, this time by Eros International. According to Film Information Magazine (via Bollywood Hungama), Eros has claimed that it holds Intellectual Property Rights as well as the rights to the title, digital rights, and music rights on a 'sole and exclusive basis'. And that's not all. Eros also claimed that it has the exclusive rights to Welcome Back (2015).## The notice further stated that Firoz Nadiadwala's Base Industries Group owes Rs. 60,07,75,236, inclusive of interest, to Eros International as on April 17, 2023. It also claimed that Nadiadwala had made it clear that it would not create third-party rights or try to release Hera Pheri 3 in India or any part of the world without the consent of Eros International.## This legal fiasco could also hamper the upcoming sequels to "Welcome" and "Awara Pagal Deewana" as Eros International has claimed it holds similar rights for these two franchises as well. ## Stay tuned...

It has been more than half a decade since everyone's favorite cosmic misfits made their mark in the MCU and now, it seems some of them will have to bid goodbye. ## The trailers have already hinted about the sad and emotional ending and now, the early reactions from critics have further confirmed the same. But it is more than that as critics are hailing it as the best MCU film since "Avengers: Endgame" along with being the dark and highly satisfying finale. ## "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" had its European premiere at Disneyland Paris and the critics are sharing their reactions with audiences on social media. The film is gearing up for release on May 5. ## Bradley Cooper will become the first voice actor in history to be nominated for best actor at the Academy Awards. STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL work. Too early to say he’ll win, but he’s a lock for Oscars 2024 nominees This is what movies are made for#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 pic.twitter.com/GhuX0PhT7k— Atom (@theatomreview) April 22, 2023 ## 🔥 #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is EMOTIONAL AND EPIC! The action, the soundtrack, the comedy, the tear jerking moments! They’ve hit it out of the park with this beautiful end to James Gunn’s trilogy! It’s also solidified Rocket Raccoon as one of the best characters in the MCU pic.twitter.com/e5YQZwvBYo— Tyrell Charles (@TheoriesByT) April 23, 2023 ## After seeing it twice I can safely say #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 completes the perfect MCU trilogy. It’s heartbreaking and hilarious and I’ve loved this team from the first ooga shaka. A blast for 10 years 👏— Emil Franchi (@emil_franchi) April 22, 2023 ## #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is, more than ever, Star Wars as a stoner comedy. Lovable weirdos, big Marvel action and goofy jokes. But nothing can prepare you for all the emotions. Rocket Raccoon’s origin story is beautiful and heart-wrenching.— Alexander Kardelo (@dunerfors) April 22, 2023 ## Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is a brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy. It's very funny, emotional and everybody gets their stand-out moment. Will Poulter's Warlock is a terrific addition, yet the focus is rightly on telling a satisfying end for the Guardians. Gonna miss them. pic.twitter.com/ot6L67Q9Cf— Ian Sandwell (@ian_sandwell) April 22, 2023 ## Can confirm that I shed a tear during #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 . And that I would very happily watch an Adam Warlock solo movie. Full review (and interviews with the cast) coming very soon. pic.twitter.com/JqzoybOHQx— Rory Cashin (@roarEcashin) April 22, 2023 ## I already knew #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 was gonna be unreal but streets are saying that not only is it the best GOTG film but the best MCU film since ENDGAME😭😭 pic.twitter.com/DldTsLZCun— Nick Poulimenakos (@NickMenakos) April 23, 2023 ## #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is what happens when you give a filmmaker loads of money but not enough creative lube. A thematic mix of Straw Dogs and The Neverending Story, though only half as sexy. Best Marvel picture since the last one. Sadly, it's too woke for its own good.7/10 pic.twitter.com/160VEZ0ZId— Killers of the Flower Mitch (@fleMitchfilm) April 23, 2023 ## Stay tuned...
