Tollywood actress Mehreen Pirzada married Arsh Aulakh in an intimate ceremony on April 26, 2026, in Chail, Himachal Pradesh. The couple shared photos on Instagram, both wearing blush-pink traditional outfits, with the caption, “26.04.26 followed by infinity, red heart, and evil eye emoticons with the caption #ArshDiMehr.” The wedding was attended by close friends and family, with fans and celebs wishing and congratulating the newlywed.

The wedding announcement has also led to interest to know more about Arsh Aulakh. His bio on Instagram reads, “Cars and Travel, Sports and Netflix, Living the Dream….” Mehreen was part of a handful of Telugu films like Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha, Raja the Great, Jawaan, NOTA, F2: Fun and Frustration. After her engagement with a politician Bhavya Bishnoi was called off in July 2021, Mehreen kept her personal life out of the limelight.

It looks like the long suspense surrounding the release date of Ram Charan’s upcoming film Peddi has finally ended. The rustic action drama will hit theatres on June 25, a date that had been widely speculated. Director Buchi Babu Sana shared the much-awaited release update at the pre-release event of the Dhanush-starrer Kara on Sunday in Hyderabad. The announcement was met with cheers from the packed crowd at the venue. While the news was expected to be unveiled on a grand scale, many fans are calling the development a “soft launch.”

Fan pressure prompted soft launch?

Peddi, co-starring Janhvi Kapoor and Shivarajkumar, had faced two postponements this year. It missed its initial March slot as well as an April date. These delays led to heavy pressure from fans on social media, who were constantly demanding a concrete update from the director. More than a song, they wanted the release date to be confirmed. Buchi Babu finally gave in to that pressure at the public event. Such on-stage reveals often go viral instantly. This spontaneous declaration has created a buzz among Mega fans.

Shruti Haasan for special song

Meanwhile, the film is in its final leg of production. The team is currently filming a special song in Hyderabad. This dance number, choreographed by Jani Master, features Ram Charan and Shruti Haasan together. The period film is set in the 1980s. The special song is expected to have a folksy flavour. AR Rahman appears to have tapped into the natural energy of this sports-based action drama. The soundtrack has already stood out for its uniqueness. Chikiri Chikiri and Rai Rai Raa Raa have emerged as lively tracks. This new folk number is expected to be a major highlight for the masses. Rahman has balanced the period setting with modern, foot-tapping beats. The shoot will wrap up once this vibrant song is completed this week.

After Peddi, Pushpa maker Sukumar will wield the megaphone for Ram Charan’s next film. The project is expected to be announced during the Peddi promotions or immediately after the film’s theatrical release.

A recent ad for the fashion brand Trends has been getting attention featuring Aneet Padda and written and directed by Rahul Mody. The campaign stands out for its light, relatable tone, and it didn’t take long for Shraddha Kapoor to notice. She gave the ad a warm shoutout, appreciating both Aneet’s performance and Rahul’s storytelling.

Sharing the ad on Instagram, Shraddha wrote, “Cuteness + best acting ka perfect mishran = Aneet Padda.” Aneet responded with equal warmth, saying, “Takes one to know one.” Shraddha also couldn’t help but praise Rahul, adding, “Aur cuteness se yaad aaya, yeh writer-director kitna talented hai uff.” The exchange felt easy and genuine, giving fans a glimpse of their supportive dynamic.

The ad itself unfolds like a familiar family situation. Aneet’s character excitedly asks everyone to start packing for a trip, only for things to spiral when her mother realises she has no clothes left due to a dhobi mix-up. In the middle of the chaos, Aneet suggests checking out Trends, which sparks playful teasing from the family about what’s “trending.” The confusion clears when she reveals she’s talking about the brand, not the concept, making the whole moment both clever and amusing.

Off-screen, Shraddha and Rahul continue to keep people talking. First linked in early 2024 after being spotted together in Mumbai, they’ve never officially confirmed their relationship, but their frequent appearances and social media moments keep the buzz alive. There were even breakup rumours at one point, but Shraddha seemed to brush them off with a casual vada pav date post with Rahul. Professionally, she was last seen in Stree 2, which became a massive hit, and she’s now expected to explore diverse projects ahead including Pahadpangira, Naagin and Eetha.
