The Hollywood supernatural film Sinners was released in India and worldwide on April 18. The film has caught the attention of the elite Hollywood crowd and there’s a demand among them to catch the flick on IMAX as a major chunk is shot on the IMAX 65mm camera. Hence, moviegoers were shocked when Sinners was removed from Eros IMAX Cinema in Mumbai and Delhi’s Priya IMAX and Paras IMAX. Interestingly, all three cinemas are standalone IMAX properties and are owned by PVR Inox.

SHOCKING: Sinners KICKED out of Eros, Priya and Paras IMAX; replaced by Kesari Chapter 2 and Jaat – films NOT even shot in IMAX

A source explained what went wrong, “No show of Sinners was played here as the theatres replaced the film with the new Hindi film, Kesari Chapter 2, and the holdover Bollywood release, Jaat, though both these films are not shot in IMAX. Warner Bros asked for proper showcasing of Sinners in these three cinemas but since the film is not a front-loaded superhero flick, the three cinemas had reservations about playing it with all shows. A negotiation was not reached and hence, Sinners couldn’t make it in Eros, Priya and Paras.”

The source continued, “These theatres argued that they are single-screen IMAX cinemas. This means that they have no other screens present. The other multiplexes could afford to play Sinners with lower occupancy in IMAX as they can profit with a huge turnout for other films in normal screens. But if they play only Sinners or give most of the shows to the film, it won’t justify their costs as it’s a film meant for a niche audience in India. The Warner team, on the other hand, argued that with Sinners, they should have made an exception as it’s a film meant for IMAX screens. Also, its word of mouth is incredible and has the chance to grow. More than 30% of the business of the film has also happened in IMAX screens on the first day.”

An industry insider commented on this issue, “These cinemas should have at least given a chance to Sinners for the weekend. Then, for the weekdays, they could have negotiated with the studio and demanded the replacement of certain shows, citing profitability. Not allowing an IMAX film in an IMAX theatre from the first day of release was unfair.”

At present, Eros Cinema is playing 5 shows of Kesari Chapter 2. Priya and Paras have given the morning show slot to Jaat and the rest of the shows are allocated to the Akshay Kumar-starrer. This move hasn’t paid much dividends to the theatres. The Saturday night show of Kesari Chapter 2 in Eros was barely full, though it was playing with great occupancy in other cinemas of the city.

The source explained the reason, “With Eros, Priya and Paras, the perception among the audience is that we are supposed to go there to watch an IMAX-worthy film. As a result, for non-IMAX movies, the preference would first be other cinemas in the vicinity. It’s a catch-22 situation for the standalone IMAX theatres. They can’t rely on playing only IMAX films, especially the niche ones like Sinners. But there’s no guarantee they’ll get required footfalls for regular films.”

In a poignant and revealing interview with Filmfare YouTube, Shabana Azmi reflected on her experiences with the enigmatic yet troubled Parveen Babi, one of the most glamorous stars of her time. Azmi, known for her candid insights, recounted moments on film sets where Parveen’s declining mental health became alarmingly visible.

Shabana Azmi recalls disturbing incidents with Parveen Babi on film sets; says, “She used to eat two grapes and say that I am bursting”

“I saw Parveen Babi going mad in front of my eyes. We were doing a Prakash Mehra film, Jwalamukhi, and we were on the set, and she suddenly looked to the chandelier and started screaming, ‘This chandelier is going to fall on me,’” Azmi recalled. The haunting memory painted a vivid picture of Parveen’s distress. Azmi also mentioned incidents from the sets of Ashanti, where Babi’s eating habits had drastically changed. “She used to eat two grapes and say that I am bursting,” she added, pointing toward possible symptoms of severe anxiety or an eating disorder.

The veteran actress also described a moment involving actress Zeenat Aman that left her with deep concern. “She went and stood behind her and looked at her in a very strange kind of manner,” Azmi said, underlining how erratic behavior had begun to emerge in Parveen’s interactions.

These stories not only highlight the intensity of Parveen Babi’s inner turmoil but also reflect the silence that often surrounded such issues in the film industry during the ’70s and ’80s. “We never talked about this,” Azmi admitted. “She was always speaking about esoteric things, discussing books, and she was a big star, but she never played the star as such, but she was in quest of an intellect that didn’t really come easy to her, but she was struggling with something.”

Parveen Babi’s life continues to evoke conversations around fame, isolation, and mental health. In opening up, Azmi not only paid tribute to a complex co-star but also nudged forward the much-needed discourse on mental health in the entertainment world.

Cynthia Erivo recalled the first time she saw her shaved head. The actress, who went bald to play her Oscar-nominated role of Elphaba in Wicked: Part One, shared her experience with the crowd during the Canva Create event at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 10.

“I remember feeling so open and vulnerable when there was nothing there,” she said. The moment Erivo looked in the mirror, she thought she’d grow to like the look more over time. The actress revealed that she loved having a “blank canvas” on her head and how it accentuated her other features.

“I like that there’s nothing but my eyes,” she said, adding that she has felt more in her element ever since the big chop. Erivo also shared that she had started to enjoy shorter hair even before landing the Wicked role. Previously, she often wore her hair in braids of various colors.

She recalled growing up with a lot of hair and frequently experimenting with it. However, “something happened” while she was graduating from drama school. She had an epiphany—she wanted people to see her face more clearly.

“I thought, ‘I want to see what it’s like to have short hair,’” she added. The actress wanted to show up as her authentic self at auditions, so she decided to cut her hair short. Erivo also reflected on the iconic wig she wore as Elphaba in the blockbuster 2024 film and her creative collaboration with hairstylist Sim Camps.

“I told her I wanted to have micro braids for this character. She was like, ‘Hold on, wait, I know exactly what to do,’” Erivo recalled. She also revealed that she chooses projects based on the characters more than the overall production.

“I want to know who the character is. It’s often about the person I’m being asked to portray,” she added.

Bollywood actors Kajol and Ajay Devgn’s daughter Nysa Devgan is celebrating her birthday today (April 20). On this special day, let’s take a look back at the time when Kajol admitted being proud of her daughter and appreciated the grace and self-respect with which she carries herself in public. She also affirmed that Nysa has every right to make her own choices in life.

Nysa Devgan is quite popular because of her spottings and being a star kid. In an interview with Hindustan Times, her mother, Kajol, once talked about her popularity and said, “I feel proud of her, of course. I love the fact that she conducts herself with dignity wherever she goes.”

Further, praising her, The Trial actress added, “All I can say is, she is 19 and is having fun. She has the right to do whatever she wants to do and I will always support her.”

In the same interview, Kajol also revealed that she has always lived without worrying about being a part of a group or following some trend in the industry. She added that she never worries about things like this. 

Meanwhile, in a recent interaction at News18’s Rising Bharat Summit 2025, Kajol opened up on Nysa Devgan’s plan of making her Bollywood debut and shared that she won’t be entering the industry anytime soon. 

She said, “Bilkul nai…no, I think…vo 22 saal ki ho gayi hai…hone wali hai abhi… I think she has made up her mind that ki nai aane wali hai abhi.” (Definitely not. I think she is 22 years old, and I think she has made up her mind that she will not be coming to Bollywood currently).

On the work front, Kajol is gearing up for the release of her upcoming supernatural thriller, titled Maa. Directed by Vishal Furia, the film also stars Ronit Roy, Kherin Sharma, and Indraneil Sengupta in key roles. The film is all set to hit the theaters on June 27, 2025.

Trigger Warning: This article contains references to drug addiction.

Marco actor Unni Mukundan recently reacted to the arrest of actor Shine Tom Chacko in connection with drug use and criminal activities. In an interaction with OnManorama, the actor made it clear that cinema alone can’t be held responsible for such incidents.

In his words, the actor said, “It is not right to say that drug abuse and crime rates are increasing under the influence of cinema. Cinema mirrors what’s happening in society; it doesn’t encourage drug use. It cannot influence society in that way.”

The actor added that it should be investigated how such contraband substances are making their way into Kerala, especially in schools. Referring to the criticisms his film Marco received—alleging the promotion of violence and substance use—he defended the film for its cinematic integrity.

The actor said, “It is unfortunate that, in a country with educated people, awareness still needs to be created against drug abuse. The problem is not the movie Marco. Isn’t it just a movie? The film points out the things happening in society; it doesn’t promote drug abuse.”

The actor concluded by highlighting how cinema is often a soft target and that there’s no point in blaming it. Emphasizing that the problem of drug use and addiction exists in every industry, Unni added that people in the film industry tend to receive more attention when such issues arise.

His remarks come at a time when Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko was apprehended by the police on drug use charges. The actor was booked after a four-hour-long interrogation; however, it has been reported that he was released from custody upon receiving bail.

The arrest followed an incident where the actor allegedly escaped from the police during a routine drug search at his hotel room. It has also been reported that he admitted to consuming MDMA and cannabis.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan make for one of Bollywood’s power couples. They tied the knot in 2007 and are celebrating 18 years of marriage today, April 20, 2025. On the special occasion of their wedding anniversary, let’s revisit the moment when the Be Happy actor revealed how the criticism of Aishwarya’s Cannes look ‘upset’ him even before they were married.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has made many stunning appearances at the Cannes Film Festival. Back in 2003, she served as a jury member at the prestigious event. Her looks at the festival that year received criticism from some people. The actress had addressed this in an old interview with Rajeev Masand, which happened after her 2007 wedding with Abhishek Bachchan.

When asked by a fan if the reaction to her Cannes outfits had hurt her, Aishwarya shared that she couldn’t understand why there was such a ‘big hullabaloo.’ She expressed how her being on the jury was the more important part but the people were focusing on something else.

Abhishek Bachchan, who was also a part of the interview, revealed that they were friends during the time she graced Cannes as a jury member. He also mentioned that they were working on many films together.

Revealing his feelings about the criticism, the Dhoom actor stated, “And there was this huge uproar in the media about how she was dressed. And it’s really sad, and as a friend, which we were at that point in time. We were co-stars, and we were friends. It upset me.” Abhishek added that even after becoming her husband, it upset him whenever she was criticized.

On the work front, Abhishek Bachchan recently featured in the heartwarming dance drama Be Happy. He is set to star in the comic caper Housefull 5 alongside Akshay Kumar and an ensemble cast.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in the movie Ponniyin Selvan: II. She attended the Cannes Film Festival in 2024 and was accompanied by her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan to the city. The actress is expected to stun at the event once again this year.

Bianca Censori reportedly has Kim Kardashian on speed dial amid her alleged split with Kanye West. Since their marriage started crumbling, the Nazi-loving rapper has been hiding out in Japan while his estranged wife reportedly lawyers up. 

RadarOnline.com claimed that Censori has teamed up with the reality star who happens to be West’s ex-wife. An insider told the outlet that the SKIMS founder “has been waiting for this day.” The source alleged that Kardashian, who shares daughters North, Chicago, and sons Saint and Psalm with the rapper, saw this coming. 

She knew that Censori would eventually have enough of the rapper’s antics and would want to ditch him. “She’s pouncing on the chance to team up,” the source added. The outlet also claimed that the mom-of-four has been looking for an opportunity to gain sole custody of her kids. 

The rapper’s recent hateful social media rant on X might have worked in Kardashian’s favor. Now, she’s determined to free the Australian architect from West’s clutches in exchange for her help in getting sole custody. 

“Proving that Kanye is unfit is going to be much easier if Bianca spills on his deplorable behavior,” the insider claimed. In a secret ceremony, the architect and model tied the knot to West in December 2022. 

The rapper allegedly forced his bride to dress provocatively on the 2025 Grammys red carpet and later bragged about having “dominion” over her. According to multiple sources, Censori reached her breaking point after he shared hateful rants on X praising Hitler, abusing celebrities, including Kardashian and much more. 

The insider told the outlet that the model “finally” wants out. She has been searching for the best lawyers to get West off her back for good. “Kim is chomping at the bit to hit back at Kanye and help Bianca break free in the process,” the source added.

We’re still in the middle of Coachella 2025, but it’s such a hit that many desert-goers are already planning their 2026 trip back to Indio, California. After Lady Gaga brought mayhem to the first night of Coachella, and Benson Boone invited Queen’s Brian May to bring true rock ‘n’ roll to the stage, music fans who have never been to the Empire Polo Club are starstruck by what’s in store for them. So, what’s going on with Coachella 2026? Find out if a lineup has been determined below.

Coachella 2026 Dates

The official dates for Coachella 2026 have not been announced yet, but the festival always takes place during two consecutive weekends in April.

Is the Coachella 2026 Lineup Out Yet?

No, the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival lineup has not been announced yet. Since it’s still a year away, it’s too early to determine who the headliners will be.

Who Could Be in the Coachella 2026 Lineup?

While no one can guarantee the 2026 headliners, fans are predicting who could possibly take the stage. After all, a handful of major artists declined to perform at the 2025 festival, so is there a chance that they could perform in 2026?

Fans are asking for Kendrick Lamar to take the Coachella stage next year. His 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show was such a hit, so hopefully, the “Not Like Us” rapper could sign up for a spot at Coachella 2026.

As for other potential headliners, two festival queens come to fans’ minds: Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter. Both Gen-Z icons performed at Coachella 2024. So, it would make sense if either of them agreed to headline the next event. But if both the “Good 4 U” and the “Espresso” hitmakers agree to headline the 2026 festival, fans would do almost anything to see them live in Indio.

Last but not least, Swifties have been begging Taylor Swift to headline Coachella. Her Eras Tour was a worldwide success, so the “Karma” artist could benefit from finally headlining — or at least performing at — Coachella 2026.
