Touted as one of the biggest theatrical releases of 2027, the first instalment is scheduled to hit cinemas on June 11, 2027.

He recalled that Kajol had jokingly predicted that years later, even after getting married and having children, he would still be working at the same location. Her words proved prophetic, as Anil found himself back at Ramoji Film City on her birthday, this time shooting for Dragon. Calling it a “true blessing,” he expressed his hope of collaborating with Kajol again soon. A return to Telugu cinema after 46 years Dragon marks Anil …

Today, the Kapoor surname is synonymous with Bollywood. Boney Kapoor has produced several notable Hindi films, Anil Kapoor remains among its biggest stars, and the family’s legacy now spans multiple generations. But long before all this, there was a one-room kholi in Mumbai’s Tilak Nagar where the entire Kapoor family lived together. There were common toilets, mounting debts, and a producer who never quite found commercial success despite spending decades in the film industry. Surinder Kapoor was born in Peshawar and moved to Mumbai after the Partition. Looking for work, he reached out to his cousin, Prithviraj Kapoor, who invited him to the city. In a 2009 interview with Rediff, Surinder recalled that films were never part of his original plan. But Prithviraj Kapoor changed the course of his life by introducing him to filmmaker K Asif. “I came to Mumbai in 1950. I was 27 years old then. I am from Peshawar. When I told my cousin Prithviraj Kapoor that I wanted to come to Mumbai for a job, he asked me to come …
