Mrunal Thakur has finally reacted to the swirl of dating rumours linking her with actor Dhanush, calling the speculation “baseless” and “funny.” In an interaction reported by Only Kollywood, the Son of Sardaar 2 actress clarified, “Dhanush is just a good friend to me.” The gossip intensified after the two were spotted together at multiple events, including the Son of Sardaar 2 screening — which many assumed Dhanush attended for her. Mrunal explained that his presence was unrelated, noting, “It was Ajay Devgn who invited him.” The buzz initially began at the wrap-up party of Tere Ishq Mein, Dhanush’s upcoming film with Kriti Sanon, where the duo’s friendly interactions drew attention. A viral clip of Mrunal singing his hit track Idli Kadai and her recent decision to follow his sisters on Instagram further fuelled chatter. Dhanush, who separated from Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth in 2022, has kept silent on the matter. Professionally, he recently won acclaim for his role in Kuberaa. Mrunal, meanwhile, has Dacoit and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai in the pipeline after her recent role in Son of Sardaar 2.

The excitement around War 2 has just shot through the roof. Already one of the most anticipated action films of the year, the Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR starrer is now confirmed to be the longest movie in the YRF Spy Universe, clocking in at 2 hours and 53 minutes — and that’s not even counting the post-credit scene. Certified U/A by the CBFC, the main feature runs for 173 minutes, while its secretive end-credit sequence is being certified separately. This unusual move strongly hints at how significant this bonus scene could be for the larger Spy Universe. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is slated for release on August 14, capitalizing on the Independence Day weekend to pull in huge crowds. Hrithik Roshan returns as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, while Jr. NTR’s role remains tightly under wraps. Kiara Advani also joins the franchise as Kavya Luthra, a high-octane action character rumored to be the daughter of Colonel Luthra (played by Ashutosh Rana). Adding to the intrigue, reports reveal that the post-credit scene will feature Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Alia Bhatt — along with a major tease for Dhoom 4, setting the stage for another blockbuster chapter in the YRF cinematic universe.

Superstar Rajinikanth is gearing up to dominate the box office once again with Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Slated for a worldwide release on August 14, the high-octane action drama will hit theatres in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. Made on a massive Rs 350 crore budget, Coolie boasts an ensemble cast featuring Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj. This marks Lokesh Kanagaraj’s sixth directorial after a stellar run with Maanagaram, Kaithi, Master, Vikram, and Leo. Special Tribute to the Superstar While the film recently received an A-certificate, it was sent back for censoring to add 25 extra seconds of footage. As per reports, Lokesh has included a special title card to celebrate Rajinikanth’s 50th year in cinema, adding another emotional layer for fans. Given how Lokesh’s tribute to Thalapathy Vijay in Leo became iconic, expectations are sky-high for Rajini’s moment. Overseas Bookings on Fire International advance bookings have already shattered records. Tickets for the opening day in the US and UK are sold out, with the UK premiere set for 5 am IST. In India, early morning fan shows are planned—6 am in Kerala and Karnataka, and 9 am in Tamil Nadu, with official booking announcements for the state expected soon. A Cinematic Marathon With a runtime of 2 hours, 50 minutes, and 22 seconds, Coolie promises to be an epic, adrenaline-fueled ride showcasing Rajinikanth’s charisma, action, and screen presence at their peak.
