The makers of YouTuber V J Siddhu’s debut film, ‘Dayangaram,’ have announced that the first schedule of filming has been wrapped up.

Vels Film International, the production house behind the movie, shared the update on their X timeline with a post saying, “A step closer to the big screens! #Dayangaram first schedule wrapped.”

Filmmaking Team and Music
The film is directed by VJ Siddhu, who also plays the lead role. The music is composed by Siddhu Kumar, while Dinesh Krishnan handles cinematography. Pradeep E Ragav is responsible for editing, and the art direction is managed by Vinoth Raj Kumar.

Announcement Video Highlights
Earlier this year, actor Dhanush released an announcement video for ‘Dayangaram,’ which garnered attention for its humorous content. It features VJ Siddhu taking his father to meet the film’s producer, Ishari K Ganesh, the founder and chancellor of Vels University.

In the video, both father and son wait alongside parents seeking admissions for their children at the university. Siddhu’s dad, eager for his son’s success as a director, boosts his confidence by mentioning that he has a complete script and a video to present to the producer.

When they finally meet the producer, he is preoccupied with signing documents and inquires about Siddhu’s school marks. This prompts Siddhu to question why the producer is asking for his academic performance while they are there to request a filmmaking opportunity.

Siddhu’s dad interjects, urging the Chancellor to focus on Siddhu’s potential, stating, “Forget the marks. My son will definitely make a great movie. Please give him a chance.”

Realizing the true purpose of their visit, the Chancellor playfully asks Siddhu’s dad why a son would bring his father to request a chance to make a film, rather than college admission. Siddhu then impresses the producer by showing him a video.

Ultimately, the producer expresses his decision to give Siddhu a chance, but a mix-up occurs when Siddhu’s friends answer his phone call. Their comical responses lead the producer to reconsider his decision.

Siddhu later meets the producer in person, pleading not to lose the opportunity due to his friends’ antics. The producer notes that the story is promising but suggests a title that should convey “bayangaram” or fear-inducing. The video concludes with Siddhu revealing the film’s title as ‘Dayangaram.’

Actors Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday brought a complete ‘Ray–Rumi’ vibe to Jaipur, making the city buzzier than ever with the launch of their exciting title track, Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, amidst thunderous applause recently.

The energetic atmosphere, catchy hook step, and Kartik’s well-discussed physique have already captured social media’s attention. During a crowded press conference in Jaipur, Kartik reflected on Ananya’s journey as an actress. When asked about reuniting after seven years, relating to their film, Pati, Patni Aur Woh, he reminisced about Ananya starting her career when they first collaborated. Today, he noted her newfound confidence, enhanced skills, and mature ease that shine both on-screen and off.

Recently, Kartik shared details about filming the title track of his upcoming movie, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. Describing the memorable experience on set, he stated, “Tu Meri Main Tera is the song to kick off the party season! The energy during the shoot was an absolute banger! Vishal and Sheykhar have created something extraordinary with this one. With Remo bringing his magic to the choreography, the vibe on set was next-level electric. Can’t wait to see the audience grooving to this track!”

Ananya Panday added, “This track is totally on fire! It embodies the entire essence of the film—fun, chaos, and the electric chemistry between Rumi and Ray. We had an amazing time shooting it, and I truly believe this is the biggest party anthem of the season. Huge props to Vishal and Sheykhar for this banger! And of course, Remo sir’s choreography ignites such infectious energy that it makes you want to dance!”

Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani shared their thoughts on creating the song, saying, “Tu Meri Main Tera has an energy that’s absolutely electric, and the title track had to rise to that pulse.

Consider this our gift to every party animal out there—this season’s biggest, loudest, and most addictive banger.”

I think we shared so many interesting conversations on sets, and I learnt so much from him. What a fantastic actor he is, and I think whenever the person next to you is a great actor, your performance also enhances, and he helped me do that.”

Siddhant Chaturvedi Shares Shirtless Photos from His Nature Getaway

Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi captured attention by sharing a series of stunning shirtless photos from his nature expedition. He humorously captioned one of the posts, “The monkey stole my tee.” Among the visuals, a breathtaking video showcased a waterfall tucked away in the lush forest. The background melody featured the iconic song ‘Oh Bhanware’, featuring Urmila Matondkar and Sanjay Dutt from the movie Daud.

Reflective Thoughts on Love

Recently, Siddhant posted a thoughtful and poetic message on social media, delving into the complexities of love that transcends conventional narratives. He expressed that true love is not bound by a specific structure; rather, it exists as a feeling that evolves or as a memory we shape to understand our past.

On November 28, Siddhant shared another video of himself perched on a large rock, surrounded by a captivating vista. Accompanied by the love theme “Do Deewane Seher Mein,” he revealed his profound reflections. He noted, “‘Love story’ is just a phrase we borrow when we don’t know what to call it. Truth is simple… real love doesn’t need narration, and narrations aren’t always love.”

Breaking Down the Concept of Love

He elaborated, “A ‘love story’ assumes structure—a beginning, middle, and end. But love has none of these. It’s either a feeling that grows beyond definition… or a memory you frame as a story to make sense of what’s gone… #SiddyChats.”

What’s Next for Siddhant

On the professional front, Siddhant Chaturvedi is gearing up for the release of his forthcoming romantic drama, “Do Deewane Seher Mein,” which also stars Mrunal Thakur. Directed by the acclaimed Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the movie is slated to hit theatres during Valentine’s week on February 20, 2026.

Personal Challenges During Filming

In a previous social media post, Siddhant opened up about grappling with personal challenges while filming “Do Deewane Seher Mein.” He mentioned that the project not only tested his creative abilities but also provided him with an opportunity for personal healing.

He remarked, “Do Deewane Seher Mein— A film so close to my heart. I’ll be honest… I was going through something of my own while shooting for this one. And the journey somewhere healed me… I hope it does the same to you… They say there’s no such thing as perfect; all you need is someone imperfect worth fighting for… See us at our most vulnerable selves, all heart, the perfect misfits, a cute mess coming to theatres this Valentine’s.”

Celebrating Motherhood

Looking back at her journey as a mother, the ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ actress expressed her emotions, stating, “A year ago, in a quiet Hospital room, I held my whole world for the first time.. Life changed in an instant and so did I. Happy one year of being your mama… Happy Birthday My forever Miracles (pink and blue heart emojis) !!!”

The shared photographs showcased Shraddha kissing one of the twins in the hospital, along with a tender image of her cradling the baby. Another picture featured the new mother cherishing her two bundles of joy, with glimpses of her posing with her husband in some frames.

Sources associated with the film reveal that renowned stunt director Sham Kaushal, known for his exemplary work in ‘Dangal’, is overseeing this high-intensity action scene. Navakanth has been brought in as the stunt master to choreograph the sequence.

The filmmakers have engaged Sham Kaushal due to the significance of this particular sequence, which is expected to be one of the film’s standout moments. To emphasize its importance, the shoot is being mounted on an exceptionally grand scale.

In this crucial fight scene, Ram Charan will perform alongside fighters, including Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar, who portrays Gour Naidu in the film. A massive set has been designed by production designer Avinash Kolla at the Aluminium Factory in Hyderabad, where this action block is currently underway.

‘Peddi’ has already received considerable attention with its first-look posters and teasers. Produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas and presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, the film is being developed on a grand scale with a significant budget. Janhvi Kapoor plays the female lead.

The drama surrounding Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana’s wedding continues to captivate attention.

Choreographer Nandika Dwivedi, who was hired for the wedding that has now been indefinitely postponed, is rumored to be one of the reasons for the delay. In response, she has issued a statement aimed at dispelling the swirling rumors.

Nandika Speaks Out

Addressing the situation on her Instagram Stories, Nandika expressed her concerns: “In recent days, I have observed speculation regarding my involvement in a matter that is profoundly personal for others. I wish to clarify that the assumptions being made about me—especially the notion that I contributed to any relationship disruption—are simply NOT accurate. It is incredibly distressing to witness a narrative develop around something I had no role in, and even more challenging to see how rapidly these stories proliferate without any factual basis (sic).”

Concerns About Misinformation

She continued, “Media sources are particularly publishing articles based on information from platforms like Reddit, where anyone can share whatever they wish, leading to defamation. Please recognize that this will not be easy for me to navigate; I cannot endure false accusations any longer. Please.”

Nandika further stated, “I have been observing those I care for feeling anxious and hurt by false information, and it is affecting my mental well-being. I have received threats that my family members have noticed, which is why I made my account private. I kindly ask everyone to cease the rumors… I have made significant sacrifices to come to Mumbai, to work and pursue my ambitions. Please do not associate my name with this any further; I am not involved in any of it. Ultimately, the truth will emerge.”

Support from Fellow Choreographer

Another choreographer, Gulnaaz, who was also involved in the wedding preparations, shared her perspective through a social media post: “I have noticed a lot of speculation and false claims going around about me & my Friend Nandika, so let me clear this straight. We are not the people involved in this issue. Just because we know someone socially or have a photo with them doesn’t mean we are connected to their personal matters. Please let’s keep things respectful and not jump to conclusions. We appreciate your understanding and support (sic).”

The situation remains tense as those involved seek to clarify their positions amidst the unfolding drama.

In an unexpected collaboration, rapper Badshah and actress Raveena Tandon have come together for a delightful social media video.

Badshah shared the entertaining clip on his official Instagram account with the caption, “Just a few OG things (sic).” The video opens with him grooving to the hit track “Kar Gayi Chull” from the 2016 drama “Kapoor & Sons.”

Dressed in a black t-shirt featuring the Parle-G logo, another ‘OG’, Badshah’s vibe is infectious. As the song hits the line “Matak Matak Jaise Raveena Tandon,” Raveena enters the frame, joining the singer in the fun.

Raveena was recently seen alongside Badshah in an episode of season 16 of the singing reality show “Indian Idol.” During the ‘Yaadon Ki Playlist’ segment, she looked stunning in a yellow saree, exuding charm.

Expressing her excitement about being part of the show, Raveena said, “Stepping onto the Indian Idol stage feels like walking into a live concert, which transports me back into a musical. The theme Yaadon Ki Playlist is pure nostalgia, as it brings alive all those unforgettable ’90s songs we grew up with, danced to, and performed to. I’m genuinely thrilled to be part of the show, to relive those iconic melodies through these incredible young singers, and to celebrate old memories while creating brand-new ones.”

During the episode, which also celebrated Badshah’s birthday, Raveena teamed up with the rapper to cook parathas. In a light-hearted moment during the cooking challenge, Badshah humorously remarked, “Raveena ji, maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki mujhe aapke saath paratha banane ka mauka milega!” (Raveena ji, I had never thought I would get an opportunity ever to make parathas with you.)

The duo didn’t just whip up a delicious paratha; Raveena sweetly fed Badshah a bite, marking a charming moment between the two.
