In a shocking turn of events, Tiger Baby Films, the production banner co-founded by filmmakers Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, has been hit by a major data theft. The incident involves the mysterious disappearance of 66 hard disks from their office premises. The case has sent ripples through the entertainment industry due to the sensitive nature of the data involved.

Breaking her silence on the matter, Zoya confirmed the robbery and expressed her disappointment over the situation. Speaking about the unfortunate incident, she revealed that the theft appears to be the work of someone on the inside. She said, “Yes there has been a robbery in my office, hard disks have been stolen. We filed a complaint and police has made some arrests as well. It’s an internal job, it’s sad to what extent people go to make money.” 

While the theft of such critical infrastructure is a massive blow, Zoya offered a wave of relief for their ongoing and past projects. She clarified that the production house was well-prepared for technical emergencies and had secure copies of their work. She added, “Luckily we have backup files of everything.” 

The alleged theft reportedly came to light on May 21, when employees at the production office were unable to locate several hard disks that were urgently required for ongoing projects. This prompted a detailed internal check of the storage area. During the inspection, staff members allegedly uncovered damaged storage boxes and multiple empty hard disk cases inside the office, confirming their doubts. According to reports, the production company’s inventory originally included a total of 119 hard disks. After the internal audit, 66 of those drives were allegedly found to be missing.

The missing hard drives are not ordinary storage devices. The stolen drives reportedly stored highly sensitive production data, with storage capacities ranging from 16TB to 72TB per disk. Investigators suspect that the missing material may include a massive volume of critical digital assets, such as raw footage, edited scenes, post-production files, archival backups, advertisement campaign content, and unreleased material connected to various films and OTT projects. Some reports further claim that the compromised data may have included content linked to major projects such as Made in Heaven and Ghost Stories.

After the discovery, an official complaint was lodged, and the police registered an FIR. The authorities swung into action and have already arrested two accused individuals in connection with the crime. The accused were later remanded to police custody till May 29.

According to police officials, one of the arrested individuals confessed during the interrogation to stealing several hard disks over the past few months. The accused allegedly admitted to selling the stolen devices in the grey market. The police are continuing their investigation to uncover the full scope of the operation and recover the remaining equipment.

In a tragic incident, acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Anik Dutta has passed away. He was admitted to a hospital on Wednesday after reportedly falling from the roof of his residence in Kolkata’s Gariahat area and sustaining critical injuries.

Anik was the grandson of Narendra Chandra Dutta, the founder of United Bank of India. He made his directorial debut in 2012 with the Bengali fantasy comedy-horror film Bhooter Bhabishyat, which went on to become a cult favourite for its sharp satire, engaging storytelling and memorable ensemble cast.

Over the years, Dutta carved a distinct space for himself in Bengali cinema with films such as Aschorjo Prodip, Meghnad Badh Rahasya, Borunbabur Bondhu and Aparajito – The Undefeated. His work was often marked by political commentary, social observations and a unique blend of humour and satire. The filmmaker was highly influenced by Satyajit Ray and his style of filmmaking often paid a nod to the maestro.

His last theatrical release, Joto Kando Kolkatatei, hit cinemas in September 2025.

Anik Dutta is survived by his estranged partner Sandhi and their daughter.

Actor Arjun Das found himself at the centre of social media speculation on Wednesday after rumours about his alleged wedding began circulating online. Several posts claimed that the actor, known for his deep voice and intense performances in films such as Kaithi and Aneethi, was preparing to get engaged this week and would soon make an official announcement.

Rumours around Arjun Das’ personal life spark online chatter

The rumours quickly spread across social media platforms, with fan pages and entertainment handles sharing unverified claims about the actor’s personal life. Some posts even suggested that wedding festivities were already underway behind closed doors. As the chatter intensified, many fans began waiting for confirmation from Arjun Das or his team.

The timing of the speculation also raised eyebrows among netizens because it coincided with renewed conversations around his long-delayed romantic drama Once More, co-starring Aditi Shankar. A section of social media users wondered whether the rumours were linked to promotional activity for the film, especially given the growing trend of unconventional marketing campaigns around movie releases.

However, the speculation was swiftly shut down by the actor’s team. Arjun Das’ publicist took to X to clarify that the reports were completely false. In the statement shared online, he wrote, “Dear all, this is to clarify that there is no truth in rumours doing the rounds about actor Arjun Das’s wedding. Request friends from the media to please check with us and verify facts before putting out such news reports.” (sic)

The clarification soon put an end to the rumours, though discussions around the actor continued to trend among fans throughout the day.

Focus shifts back to Arjun Das’ upcoming projects

With the rumours now dismissed, attention has once again shifted towards Arjun Das’ upcoming film slate. The actor was last seen in Kumki 2 and is currently gearing up for the release of Con City, an action entertainer directed by Harish Durairaj.

Apart from Con City, fans are also awaiting updates on Once More, directed by Vignesh Srikanth. The romantic entertainer was initially expected to release around Valentine’s Day in 2025, but the film was postponed indefinitely. More recently, the makers announced that the film would arrive in theatres sometime this summer, though an exact release date is yet to be revealed.

Over the past few years, Arjun Das has steadily built a reputation for himself with supporting and lead performances that stand out for their intensity and screen presence. He first gained widespread attention through Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Kaithi, where his menacing performance earned him strong audience recall despite limited screen time. Since then, the actor has continued to experiment across genres, balancing thrillers, action dramas, and romantic subjects.
