So far, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming film Ranabaali has shown audiences that the historical period action-drama is centred on the brutal Great Madras Famine of 1876–1878. To let audiences know more about what went into making the historical drama, the makers have announced an exciting documentary series titled Ranabaali: Never Forget The Truth.

Four-episode docu series

To make the audience’s theatrical experience more immersive, the makers have announced a documentary series, Ranabaali: Never Forget The Truth. It will be released as a four-episode series on YouTube, offering audiences an exclusive look into the world of Ranabaali. The series gives a glimpse into the effort, technical hurdles and creative choices behind the final cut. The makers believe audiences can connect more deeply with the raw footage as it builds emotional investment and demystifies the magic of production. The docu series also captures the psychological highs and lows of the creative process.

The first episode, titled The Famine We Forgot, will begin streaming on September 28. The second episode, The History We Forgot, will premiere on September 30. While the third episode, The Men We Forgot, will be released on October 2, the streaming date for the fourth episode, The Last Load, will be announced soon.

History has two sides

According to the makers, history has two sides: one that was told to us and another that was buried and forgotten. Ranabaali: Never Forget The Truth aims to uncover the forgotten truths from history through a behind-the-scenes (BTS) documentary series set in the world of Ranabaali. While Vijay plays a fierce 19th-century warrior from Rayalaseema who leads a courageous rebellion against British colonial rule, Rashmika plays his wife and steadfast partner. Directed by Rahul Sankritya, Ranabaali is slated for a grand release on October 16, 2026.

Farhan Akhtar comes under the category of people who do not let time slip away. They hold it close, and by close I mean tight on their wrists. For quite some time, be it outdoor travels, events, press meets, or any outings, he has most often been accompanied by a timepiece.

On closer inspection, his fondness for Emporio Armani watches is seemingly becoming more evident. Trailing through his events, the light shone more brightly on this theory as he was seen wearing the Sea Explorer during the Dil Chahta Hai reunion and the World Explorer during his Mirzapur appearance.

Farhan Akhtar was also recently seen at a gig where he was wearing a limited-edition Titanium Diver’s watch. However, its brand and model remain a mystery. Piecing the information together, three distinct watches at three different events highlight a prominent fact. That he surely has an immensely impressive watch collection.

Here is a look at some of his watches, picked from his recent sightings.

The Income Tax Department conducted searches at several locations in Mumbai on Monday in connection with Bollywood actor and filmmaker-linked entities. According to reports, around 12 locations associated with actress Rakul Preet Singh, veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani and Panorama Studios are being searched.

Sources cited in reports said the tax authorities had received information regarding large sums of money allegedly being transferred abroad in connection with film-related activities. The transactions are reportedly linked to expenses claimed under overseas film shoots, international distribution and production.

The information has prompted the Income Tax Department to examine the transactions for possible tax evasion and other financial irregularities. Multiple teams have reportedly been deployed across Mumbai to conduct searches at various offices and premises connected to the entities.

The investigation is currently underway, and officials are examining financial records and transactions as part of the probe. Further details are expected to emerge once the searches and investigation are completed.

Rakul Preet Singh is married to actor and producer Jackky Bhagnani, whose father, Vashu Bhagnani, is the founder of Pooja Entertainment. The production house has been associated with several Hindi films over the years, including Coolie No. 1 (1995), Hero No. 1 (1997) and Biwi No. 1 (1999).

Meanwhile, Panorama Studios is known for backing and distributing several Hindi films, including Raid and projects from the Drishyam franchise.

Rakul Preet Singh will next be seen in one of the most anticipated films of 2026, Ramayana: Part 1, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The actor will portray the character of Surpanakha in the upcoming epic.

The reported searches are part of an ongoing Income Tax investigation. At this stage, the allegations regarding overseas transactions and possible financial irregularities remain under investigation.
