Arjun Rampal begins his new journey with Billionaire on the auspicious occasion of Navratri

Arjun Rampal has embarked on an exciting new journey with Billionaire, which commenced with a traditional mahurat puja on the auspicious occasion of Navratri.

The big-scale business drama, directed by Hansal Mehta and Robbie Grewal, marks the first-ever collaboration between the two acclaimed filmmakers. Produced by Prabhleen Sandhu under the banner of Almighty Motion Picture, the series is set to begin its extensive 45-day shooting schedule in the United Kingdom from November 15.

Arjun Rampal also took to his Instagram handle to share his joy and excitement about the new beginning.

The actor is currently enjoying the enormous success of the Dhurandhar duology. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar, the first film, released in December 2025 and became a blockbuster after taking just a decent start at the box office. The second film, Dhurandhar The Revenge, which released in March this year, turned out to be a blockbuster of mammoth proportions and the highest grossing Hindi film till date by earning over Rs. 1000 crores at the domestic box office itself. Arjun’s act as the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) chief Major Iqbal was also highly praised.

Written by Anubhav Chopra and Shantanu Sagara, with dialogues by Karan Vyas, Billionaire promises a gripping tale of ambition, power and the high-stakes world of business.

The series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video.

Salman Khan gears up for 50-day close-combat final schedule of Monster, deets inside

Superstar Salman Khan is all set to get onto intense work mode as his upcoming action drama Monster enters its final and most intense stretch of filming. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, the Pan-India project is officially charging towards the finish line, with the superstar gearing up for a 50-day schedule dedicated entirely to high-stakes, close-quarter combat sequences.

The team has set up base at a studio in Mira Road to film these action sequences. Moving away from slick, glossy effects, the makers are aiming for a raw and grounded action experience, with Salman at the centre of intense, hand-to-hand combat against his opponents.

Ever since principal photography began in Mumbai in mid-April 2026, Monster has been mounted on a massive scale. The film completed a packed six-week schedule in Goregaon this August, featuring large-scale action set-pieces, crowd sequences and an elaborate Afghan village setup. This was followed by a focused 10-day combat training schedule in Mumbai in September.

Salman Khan is balancing his Bigg Boss 20 commitments with the physically demanding action schedule, keping the film firmly on track for a November wrap. With filming entering its final lap, the team will move directly into post-production to prepare for its Eid 2027 theatrical release.

Produced by Dil Raju under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations, Monster stars Salman Khan alongside an ensemble cast featuring Nayanthara, Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swamy, Rahul Dev, Ronit Roy and Seema Biswas.

Ranveer Singh brings home a Rs. 1.95 crore electric luxury sedan; all you need to know about his BMW i7

Bollywood star Ranveer Singh has added a new luxury car to his garage, with the actor taking delivery of the BMW i7 50 xDrive, the all-electric version of the German automaker’s flagship 7 Series sedan. The luxury electric car is priced at Rs. 1.95 crore (ex-showroom), making it a significant addition to the actor’s already impressive collection of automobiles.

The acquisition comes shortly after Ranveer was unveiled as BMW India’s brand ambassador and introduced the company’s latest 7 Series range at a launch event in New Delhi in September. The actor’s association with the brand now gets an interesting personal touch, with the star bringing home one of its flagship electric offerings.

The BMW i7 50 xDrive M Sport combines the presence and comfort expected from a flagship luxury sedan with the benefits of an all-electric powertrain. The model produces 455 hp and 600 Nm of torque, with a claimed 0-100 kmph acceleration time of 5.5 seconds. It features a 112.5 kWh battery pack and offers a claimed driving range of up to 728 km on the WLTP cycle.

The car also places considerable emphasis on passenger comfort and in-cabin technology. Its features include a large rear-seat entertainment screen, a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system, executive lounge seating and an upgraded infotainment setup. The new i7 is locally manufactured at BMW Group’s Chennai facility, making India the only country outside Germany to produce the electric flagship.

For Ranveer, whose larger-than-life personality often extends to his automobile choices, the i7 represents a move towards electric luxury without compromising on performance or road presence. With its imposing design, technology-led cabin and all-electric credentials, the BMW is a fitting addition to the actor’s collection.
