Dharma Productions set to launch two newcomers after massive talent hunt

In a major announcement that has set the industry abuzz, Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is gearing up to introduce two fresh faces to the big screen. The production house, known for shaping some of Bollywood’s biggest stars, is all set to launch a boy and a girl, both selected through one of Dharma’s most extensive talent hunts to date. According to insiders, the hunt saw over 500 auditions from across the country, with participants competing for a dream debut under one of India’s most prestigious banners. What makes this launch particularly significant is that both newcomers come with no industry connections. They are complete outsiders, chosen purely for their raw talent, screen presence, and cinematic potential. A source close to the development revealed that Dharma is taking this move as part of its effort to bring in fresh, relatable faces who can connect with today’s evolving audience. “The focus is on authenticity and performance rather than lineage. This marks a new chapter for Dharma in discovering and nurturing talent,” the source shared. With the industry’s growing demand for new energy and untapped talent, this decision by Dharma Productions reinforces its commitment to shaping the next generation of Bollywood stars. The identities of the two debutants remain under wraps for now, but an official reveal is expected soon, sparking anticipation across the film fraternity and among movie enthusiasts.

EXCLUSIVE: Shraddha Kapoor dubs for the Hindi version of Disney’s highly awaited animation film Zootopia 2

Shraddha Kapoor owned 2024 with her power-packed performance in Stree 2, the highest grosser of Bollywood to date. Recently, she took the cake at the trailer launch of the 2025 Diwali release Thamma. Thamma belongs to the same universe as Stree 2 and hence, she graced the occasion and impressed fans and her critics in her trademark style. And now, she’s all set to appear in front of the media once again on Saturday, November 8. The mediapersons got an invite earlier today saying that she’ll be present to make a special announcement. The only additional information was that the event is held by Star Studio18. It made the media curious, wondering what could be the announcement. Her next film, Eetha, went on floors recently. It is backed by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and directed by Laxman Utekar of Chhaava (2025) fame. It was assumed that probably Star Studio18 may have come on board for Eetha. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the event, which will be held at a multiplex in Mumbai tomorrow, has nothing to do with Eetha. A source told us, “Shraddha Kapoor has dubbed for the Hindi version of Disney’s highly awaited animated film, Zootopia 2. This is the announcement that will be made at the November 8 event.”The source continued, “Shraddha Kapoor has a lovely voice and has probably never dubbed for a Hollywood film before. Moreover, she’s one of the top stars and has a huge fan following among kids and families, who are also the target audience for Zootopia 2. Therefore, they felt that she was the apt choice. Shraddha was on board immediately. She has been a Disney heroine before, in ABCD Any Body Can Dance 2 (2015) and had a wonderful experience of being associated with the brand. As a result, she was too happy to reunite, this time with Walt Disney Animation Studios, for Zootopia 2. Zootopia 2 is the sequel to the 2016 film Zootopia, a story of a rookie police officer rabbit and a con artist fox who team up to uncover a conspiracy involving the disappearance of predators. The film was a blockbuster and globally earned over $1 billion. Interestingly, Zootopia 2 is not the only animated film in Shraddha Kapoor’s pipeline. She is also a part of Choti Stree, which also belongs to the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Also Read: Shraddha Kapoor starts filming Eetha, Laxman Utekar’s biopic on Tamasha icon Vithabai.

Fact Check: Deepika Padukone’s name dropped from Kalki 2898 AD end credits after exit row?

Deepika Padukone’s reported fallout with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Mythri Movie Makers over the alleged eight-hour work shift demand has sparked a new round of debate across film industries. Adding to the ongoing chatter, netizens have now claimed that the makers have removed Deepika’s name from the end credits of Kalki 2898 AD, the first installment of Nag Ashwin’s ambitious sci-fi franchise. To verify the speculation, Bollywood Hungama checked the versions of the film currently available on major streaming platforms. It turns out that in the Hindi version of Kalki 2898 AD, which is streaming on Netflix, Deepika Padukone’s name has indeed been omitted from the end credits. However, the other four language versions Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, continue to feature her name in the credits. While the development has stirred strong reactions online, neither the actress nor the production house has issued an official statement addressing the matter. In September 2025, Vyjayanthi Movies, the banner behind Kalki 2898 AD, confirmed through an official statement that Deepika Padukone would not return for the sequel. The announcement, shared on the production house’s social media handles, read: “This is to officially announce that @deepikapadukone will not be a part of the upcoming sequel of #Kalki2898AD. After careful consideration, we have decided to part ways. Despite the long journey of making the first film, we were unable to find a partnership. And a film like @Kalki2898AD deserves that commitment and much more. We wish her the best with her future works.”Padukone’s character, SUM-80, was central to the narrative of Kalki 2898 AD, with the story revolving around her and the unborn child prophesied to be the final avatar of Lord Vishnu Kalki.
