The buzz surrounding Kareena Kapoor Khan’s third pregnancy refuses to die down. The actress and Saif Ali Khan recently returned from a holiday where the entire family celebrated Saif’s 56th birthday.  After she returned to Mumbai, a video of Kareena Kapoor leaving a gym in Mumbai sparked internet rumours that she is pregnant with her third child.  Fans quickly started the guessing game after a viral video showed a supposed baby bump in her athleisure.  Reports gained momentum after her team trying to shield her from cameras with an umbrella. But the actress herself dismissed the reports with a funny Instagram post.

Kareena Kapoor’s clarifies….

Kareena Kapoor’s team has reportedly clarified that she is not expecting a third baby. Sources from her team also shared that the couple don’t have any plans to expand their family further. Her sister-in-law Saba Pataudi too dismissed the speculation. She took to her social media handle and rubbished Kareena’s pregnancy rumours, attributing the reports to a bad camera angle. And now Kareena has addressed the rumours herself with a humorous social media post.

Indulged in good food!

Kareena took to Instagram and shared a photo of a man flaunting his bloated stomach. “Hat nah be,” she captioned the post with the popular ‘Chocolate Lime Juice’ song from the 1994 block-buster film Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! Kareena also added laughing and pizza emojis to the post, indicating that the supposed bump in the viral video was a result of indulging in excessive meals.

Earlier too when photos and videos regarding the rumours of her pregnancy emerged on social media, she has humorously shut them down blaming the appearance on food and drinks rather than a pregnancy.

Kareena and her husband Saif Ali Khan have two sons — Taimur, born in December 2016, and Jeh was born in February 2021.

The trailer of Once More has arrived, offering a closer look at Vignesh Srikanth’s upcoming romantic drama starring Arjun Das and Aditi Shankar. Running for around two-and-a-half minutes, the trailer introduces a young man still grappling with the emotional weight of a previous relationship, even as another woman enters his life hoping to win his heart.

At the centre of the story is Arjun Das’ character, who appears unable to completely move on from his past. While his previous relationship continues to cast a shadow over his present, Aditi Shankar’s character attempts to build a connection with him. The resulting conflict forms the emotional core of the film, with the trailer suggesting a story less concerned with the mechanics of falling in love and more interested in what happens when someone is unable to let go.

Sona Olickal also plays a significant role in the film as another of the protagonist’s love interests. The dynamic between the three characters appears to drive much of the drama, with the film exploring the complications that arise when love, memory and the need for closure overlap.

Rather than presenting heartbreak simply as an obstacle before a conventional happy ending, Once More seems to approach it as part of a larger process of healing. The trailer touches upon ideas of second chances and emotional closure, suggesting that moving forward can sometimes require confronting what has been left unresolved.

For Arjun Das, the film marks another opportunity to explore a romantic lead after building a reputation through more intense and dramatic roles. His distinctive voice and screen presence have made him a recognisable performer in Tamil cinema, and Once More places him in a more emotionally driven setting.

A debutant director and Hesham Abdul Wahab’s Tamil debut

Once More marks the directorial debut of Vignesh Srikanth, who has also written the screenplay and penned the film’s lyrics. The project is backed by Yuvaraj Ganesan under the Million Dollar Studios banner.

The film brings together a cast that includes Devadarshini and Dravid Selvam, alongside Arjun Das, Aditi Shankar and Sona Olickal. Behind the camera, cinematographer Aravind Viswanathan, editor Nash and art director Raj Kamal form part of the principal technical team. Ranjith Venugopal has handled sound design, while Navadevi Rajkumar is the costume designer.

One of the film’s major musical attractions is Hesham Abdul Wahab, who makes his Tamil debut as composer with Once More. The composer has become a familiar name among South Indian audiences through films including Hridayam and Hi Nanna, with his melodic approach earning him a strong following. Although Once More was announced some time ago, Hesham has subsequently had other Tamil projects reach audiences, making this project particularly interesting for listeners who have followed his work.

The makers have already begun building anticipation through promotional material, including the film’s jukebox and videos for several songs. Among them, Vaa Kannamma has attracted attention on social media, adding a musical component to the film’s promotional campaign.

Interestingly, Once More shares its title with the 1997 Tamil film directed by SA Chandrasekhar, which featured Sivaji Ganesan, Vijay and Simran. The new film, however, tells an entirely different story and is positioned as a contemporary relationship drama.

With the cast and crew currently stepping up promotions, Once More is gearing up for its theatrical release on August 28. For a film built around heartbreak, second chances and the possibility of finding love after loss, the real question is whether Arjun Das’ character can finally make peace with his past before embracing what lies ahead.

The first teaser of Cosmic Samson, titled Curtain Raiser, is here, and it wastes little time establishing that this is unlikely to be a conventional superhero story. Headlined by Sandeep Pradeep, the upcoming Malayalam film introduces its protagonist through a deceptively casual rooftop sequence that ends with a rather unfortunate encounter with a car.

The 1-minute-24-second teaser begins at night, with a lone man seated on a rooftop and looking out over a sprawling city beneath a full moon. The mood is initially serene, helped along by the familiar strains of Ekaantha Chandrike from In Harihar Nagar. The nostalgia is interrupted when Samson receives a phone call from his father, played by veteran actor Mukesh.

“Hi Appa,” Samson says when he answers.

His father immediately wants to know where he is and why he has not returned home despite it being past 11 pm. Samson, seemingly in no hurry, tells him that he is “just chilling to some music”. His father’s response is considerably less relaxed. He orders his son to stop chilling and come home, to which Samson casually promises that he will be there soon.

That is when the teaser reveals its first glimpse of Samson’s apparent superpower. Without getting up or even breaking much of a sweat, he simply launches himself off the rooftop from his seated position. The camera remains behind as the night sky fills the frame, followed by the unmistakable sound of a heavy impact.

The next shot reveals the consequences. Samson is standing in front of a badly damaged car. “Bloody hell, I’m screwed. Ah, whatever!” he says before the teaser cuts to black.

The sequence offers little in the way of conventional plot information, but it does establish the film’s tone. Rather than presenting its superhero as an imposing figure who has complete control over his abilities, Cosmic Samson appears to be leaning into the humour and awkwardness that can come with discovering extraordinary powers.

From the team behind Minnal Murali

Directed by Abhijith Joseph, best known for the investigative thriller John Luther, Cosmic Samson is written by the filmmaker along with Abhikersh Vasanth. The film also features Miya George, Anuraj OB, Alphonse Puthren and Althaf Salim, along with several new faces.

The project is being positioned as a fantasy-driven superhero origin story, placing it in the increasingly prominent space occupied by Malayalam films such as Minnal Murali and Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra. The teaser, however, suggests that Cosmic Samson could be taking a considerably more irreverent route with the genre.

The film also has an important connection to Minnal Murali behind the camera. Hollywood stunt director Vlad Rimburg, who choreographed the action in Basil Joseph’s superhero film, is handling the action sequences here as well. With the makers reportedly aiming to make the action one of the film’s attractions, his involvement adds another layer of anticipation.

Sibi Mathew Alex has composed the music, with Deepak D Menon serving as cinematographer and Chaman Chakko handling the editing. The film is produced by Sophia Paul under the Weekend Blockbusters banner, in association with Manuel Cruz Darwin’s D Group. Weekend Blockbusters, which previously backed Minnal Murali, is producing its 10th film with Cosmic Samson.

The film is currently expected to reach theatres in October 2026 and is planned for release in Malayalam along with Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi versions.

For Sandeep Pradeep, Cosmic Samson arrives after a particularly strong run of films. The actor has earned attention for his performances in Falimy, Alappuzha Gymkhana, Padakkalam and Dinjith Ayyathan’s Eko.

With Curtain Raiser choosing humour over exposition, the makers have kept the mystery around Samson’s abilities largely intact. Whether he grows into the superhero suggested by the title or continues crashing into trouble remains to be seen. For now, the teaser’s message is simple: Cosmic Samson may be super, but he is clearly still figuring things out.
