Dulquer Salmaan’s September 3 release I’m Game ran into an unexpected distribution problem. Directed by Nahas Hidhayath, the fantasy thriller marks Dulquer Salmaan’s comeback to Malayalam cinema after King of Kotha (2023). The film released in theatres on Thursday but faced content delivery issues for the Telugu version, according to several posts by netizens. The opening-day shows in Hyderabad were reportedly cancelled due to multiple issues. Several users took to social media to complain about content delays, screening issues and cancelled shows.

Delay in Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) Dulquer Salmaan

Dulquer Salmaan’s I’m Game faces release-day chaos over DCP delays

According to reports, the Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) for the Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada versions of I’m Game were not delivered to theatres on time for the first shows on Thursday. The delay resulted in multiple shows being cancelled. While the makers had reportedly hinted to distributors and exhibitors about a possible delay in delivering the DCPs, it was never expected to reach a point where the morning shows had to be cancelled.

The Malayalam version of the Dulquer Salmaan-starrer released as scheduled across Kerala and other Malayalam-speaking markets. But fans of the other language versions, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada, who had booked tickets were disappointed after learning that the morning shows had been delayed. Due to the unexpected technical snag, I’m Game was temporarily removed from local screening listings.

Box office impact!

The advance ticket sales for I’m Game were encouraging after bookings opened on September 1. However, the indefinite delay in screenings and the cancellation of shows may significantly impact the film’s box office collections. This unforeseen development could also affect audience interest in watching the film.

I’m Game was earlier slated to release on August 20 but was postponed. Dulquer Salmaan, who is also producing the film, explained that he wanted to give the film the scale, reach and theatrical platform it truly deserves. He wanted audiences across different markets to experience it on the big screen. But the current scenario is like ‘adding insult to injury’ for the makers.

Rashmika Mandanna Opens Up About Spending Time With Vijay Deverakonda During Recovery

Sep 3, 2026 · 5:23 PM Blog By onmynews.com

Rashmika Mandanna is currently recuperating after suffering a hip tendon injury on the sets of her film in July. While the actress has been resting for over a month, she shares that the unexpected downtime has been a very strange experience. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Rashmika recalled how she sustained the injury.

How the injury happened…

While shooting an intense song and dance sequence for her upcoming action thriller Mysaa, Rashmika suffered a snapped/detached tendon in her right hip. “I could experience a sap in my hip bone, but I continued shooting till I couldn’t lift my right leg,” Rashmika shared. The next day, she visited a hospital and underwent an MRI scan, which did not detect an injury. “But doctors told me my pain receptors are messed up. They were surprised how I even managed to walk to the hospital,” she revealed.

Spending time with husband Vijay Deverakonda

The recovery period also gave Rashmika Mandanna the opportunity to spend time with Vijay Deverakonda. She acknowledged that the two of them hadn’t been able to spend much time together after their wedding in February. “This was the universe’s way of saying, calm down,” laughs Rashmika. “While Vijay likes watching serious shows, K-dramas are my thing, so now we watch both. I have managed to convert him already.” The Pushpa actress also feels that spending time with her family made her focus less on the injury.

Rashmika is expected to return to the sets in a week’s time. She has been constantly updating her fans on social media about her recovery process. The actress will resume shooting for Ranabaali, which stars her husband, Vijay Deverakonda. She has another 10 days of shooting left and, moreover, the Rahul Sankrityan directorial is slated for release on October 16. She also has Mysaa and another yet-to-be-titled film. Rashmika certainly has a packed itinerary once she returns to work.

Kareena Kapoor Khan Says She Regrets Not Finishing Her Education Wants Her Sons to Study First

Sep 3, 2026 · 8:23 PM Blog By onmynews.com

Kareena Kapoor Khan is all set to be seen in Daayra. The actress, who started working when she was just 19, has built a career spanning more than two decades. She made her Bollywood debut in 2000 with Refugee, opposite Abhishek Bachchan, and went on to establish herself as one of the leading actresses of her generation.

Recently, she opened up about a decision from her younger years that she continues to regret: not completing her education. In an interview with podcaster Hanuman Dass, the actress revealed that she left her studies after Class XI to pursue acting.

She said, “I never finished my education, and that was something that kind of stayed with me. Even though I had the opportunity, I got into movies and didn’t study any further after Class XI. I know a lot of people can make fun of that or say whatever they want, but I wanted to prove myself as an actor. That was something I wanted to do, to follow my heart.”

She continued, “Education is something I do regret not completing. That’s why I have pushed my boys to finish their education first and then follow their hearts. When UNICEF approached me about supporting young girls’ education in India, I felt deeply about it because I had always carried that regret that I hadn’t completed my own education.”

On the work front, Kareena will next be seen in Daayra, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Meghna Gulzar. The crime thriller, inspired by true events, stars Kareena as DCP Ajooni Kohli and Prithviraj Sukumaran as DCP Raman Kumar, two police officers who find themselves on opposing sides of a case and have very different ideas of justice.

Produced by Junglee Pictures and Dr Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios), it is distributed by Pen Marudhar. Daayra releases in cinemas on September 18.
