EXCLUSIVE: The release of Akshay Kumar's Sky Force has been confirmed for Republic Day 2025.

On August 14, Bollywood Hungama was the first to reveal that the Akshay Kumar-starring film Sky Force would not be released in theaters on October 2 as planned. As expected, the revelation sparked speculation about the film's new release date - will it be later this year or next year?

Bollywood Hungama has discovered that the producers have set a release date for Sky Force. According to our source, "Sky Force" will be released in theaters on January 24, 2025. It will be released on Republic Day, which is an appropriate time to present it to viewers as a patriotic entertainer. "An official announcement will follow soon."

There were rumors that Sky Force's promotion will be tied to the Independence Day release, Stree 2. This is because, like Sky Force, Stree 2 is produced by Jio Studios and Maddock Films. However, after the decision to postpone the Akshay Kumar-starrer was made, the plan to unveil the teaser was abandoned.

This also indicates that there will be no more Akshay Kumar movies in 2024. This year, he has had three releases: Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfira, and Khel Khel Mein. Khel Khel Mein coincidentally coincided with Stree 2 on August 15. Akshay also made a great cameo in Stree 2.

Sky Force will be Akshay Kumar's sixth release over the Republic Day week. His first film, Saugandh (1991), was released on January 25. The week has been fortuitous for him because all of his past Republic Day releases, including Elaan (1994), Khakee (2004), Baby (2015), and Airlift (2016), were box office successes. It remains to be seen whether Sky Force will follow suit.

Sky Force co-stars Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, Veer Pahariya, and Nimrat Kaur. The period aerial action thriller is produced by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films and Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios, and directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur.

EXCLUSIVE: Young K sends ‘Letters with notes’ to fans in joyous return; talks about evolving as a musician, upcoming DAY6 anniversary

By Monica Yadav

“This time can’t be stopped / When the season changes / where no regrets are left / this time is aflame / followed by blooming spring / remember this time / never let it fade away / for all my life / let it be summer,” – croons singer-songwriter Young K in his pre-release track ‘Let It Be Summer’ from his full-length album Letters With Notes. As the 29-year-old multi-hyphenated musician is back from his two-year hiatus (as he was serving in the military), he compares his life to the changing seasons while expressing the desire to maintain youthful enthusiasm. The melodic pop-punk track definitely enhances the vocals of the gifted singer, who was missed from the music scene for the past two years. Over the past 8 years, Young K, birth name Kang Young Hyun, has about 160 songs copyrighted under his name. He has been the bassist, lead vocalist, and rapper in DAY6 and continues to excel as a versatile singer. He is easily one of the most valuable musicians of our time who often dabbles in different genres including rock, pop-rock, and alternative rock. Returning to the music scene after two years with Letters with notes, the 11-track album, which he was heavily involved in from scratch, sees him play with a lot of nostalgia. While ‘dreamer’ has influences of ‘60s rock-n-roll, ‘babo’ has elements of ‘60s rock with the groove of R&B; ‘waited’ has that ‘90s melodic modern rock rhythm, ‘playground’ infuses the elements of ‘60s Motown funk and rhythm and blues. He ended the song ‘Guard You’ from his 2021 album Eternal with ‘I’ll Hold You Until The End’ and begins with the same lyric in ‘nothing but’, the title track of his new album where he is unable to let go of the love. It is poetic how he uses a metaphor for the world ending in the first track whereas in his latest track, uses the same line as his world is collapsing. There is a reason Young K is called a gifted musician. He plays around with sounds and easily makes you go through varied emotions. This album takes you on a journey of different phases of love, which comes in any form, and the beauty and intricacies of it. Discharged from his military service in April 2023, Young K became the first Korean idol to join the Korean Augmentation to the United States Army (KATUSA). It is the branch of military service that requires applicants with fluency in English to a high degree and only recruits about 2,000 men every year. Between April and August, he had four months to prepare and complete the album. Addressing his fans over the three-day concert held at Kwangwoon University’s Donghae Culture and Arts Center in Nowon-gu, Seoul between September 1-3, Young K said, as per Korea Herald, “The opening to today’s set list is also the first track in my new album. While working on this song, I imagined the moment I finally stepped on stage to meet you. The first words that came to my mind were, ‘I’m nervous,’ and that’s how I started the lyrics. Then I wanted to ask if you’ve been well and eaten well. I’m so happy to be performing in front of you.” Before enlisting, Young K exclusively told Bollywood Hungama in 2021, “I learned to love more. The love My Days have shown made me think about it a lot and since I write and sing about it, I guess it was one of the biggest issues and concepts I tried to know more about. I can't say I know what love exactly is, but I did learn how to give more.” Now, as he returned, we spoke to him again and this time. He had a lot more to share about his craft and his creative process of making Letters with notes.

First and foremost Young K, welcome back. The music scene has missed you and your soothing vocals. How much have you missed releasing music for your audience?

Young K: First of all, thank you for the kind words. It's been a while, so I've waited for this moment quite a lot. As an artist, I thought it'd be important to come back with an album as soon as possible, so here it is.

Congratulations on the Letters with notes. One of the teasers said ‘6 sides of Young K’ and mentioned Hexagon. Symbolically, the hexagon also stands for harmony and balance. After your return from the military, what significance does this album hold for you and why was this an apt album title?

Young K: 'Letters With Notes' can mean the lyrics, which are literally letters that has notes. The sum of those letters turns into a song, which is an individual letter sent to the world. 11 letters all combined, the album itself became 'Letters With Notes'.

A full-length album is truly a heavy work. When did you begin to put together 11 tracks? Which was the first track and last track you worked on?

Young K: All of the recordings began after I was discharged, but I had been having ideas beforehand. So it's really hard to say when the exact album preparation began. All of the ideas were mixed up, so I don't really remember which one came first.

The pre-release pop-punk track ‘let it be summer’ truly narrates the youthful enthusiasm of life. Also, the song is so Young K, it’s great to see you back. Where do you draw the inspiration for a song like this one?

Young K: The track itself had a very powerful energy, so I wanted to narrate something that would match the vibe. I thought youth holds an explosion of feelings and emotions, so I tried comparing life to change of seasons, having summer as the most burning era.

There are 11 tracks on the album but you chose ‘nothing but’ as the main track. The blending of the '60s British sound with 80s American hard rock ballads is a truly unique way to approach the song. The song is about someone ‘unable to let go of love’. Tell me your approach regarding this track and how you decided on making it the title song.

Young K: Producer Jisang Hong and I were talking about how I tend to have a hard time letting go of things. And I guess this concept turned into a song. An example would be – sometimes me having a hard time leaving food behind even when there's no need to finish everything. After submitting all the demos, we went through a monitoring system to choose a title song. And ‘nothing but' was selected.

There are so many favourites on the album but one particular track that caught attention was ‘natural’ which signifies that you don’t have to be insecure in love. Am I right? What can you tell me about it?

Young K: The word 'natural' caught my attention for some reason, and I started thinking about what could be natural. Breathing, having a meal, the flow of time and such came to my mind. It added on to how it's natural to love, so there's no need to worry.

This album feels so personal in terms of how you go about the storytelling. When you work on an album on this scale where you have so many songs to create, what is the progression like? Is it exciting or does it get stressful?

Young K: It's always exciting and stressful at the same time. To make sure it's made at a good quality, even when it seems like it's over I feel like there has to be a point where you go through it. So I always check whether it's good to be presented or not. I'm not a perfectionist, but it's the least I can do.

Thematically, the album seems to be about different stages. What is it about “love” that excites and do you think you were able to showcase it through this full-length album?

Young K: "Love" can be in countless different forms. Love for your family, love for My Days(fans), love towards music, etc. Without love in our lives, I feel like it'd be very difficult to go on.

Are you someone deeply romantic? Is this why the majority of themes of your music reflect that emotion?

Young K: I consider myself a storyteller as I'm writing, and I guess I wish to talk about various stories from many different views. In music, I don't think I want to define that storyteller as someone in a certain way. So yes, sometimes romantic, sometimes maybe not.

Are you someone who is hyper-focused during the process of album making or someone who enjoys a good balance between work and life?

Young K: I would prefer a good balance of work and life. I don't feel like I need to be intensely focused on album-making only for a period of time, but when I am at the session, I am focused.

What do you enjoy more – songwriting or producing? Are there any times when you feel words aren’t flowing how you wanted? In those times, where do you seek inspiration from?

Young K: Whenever I get a writer's block, I take a break. Short or long. I try to refresh my mind and look around. If nothing found, I try to let my mind take me anywhere to come up with something that's adequate for the music. That's also why in my everyday life I let myself be open to all the ideas that come to me. For now, I consider myself a singer and a performer most importantly. And the rest, I'm good with anything.

The fans are so happy to see you back doing radio. That gives so much joy to everyone but also showcases your relaxed side. Are you elated to be back? Do you enjoy being on the radio?

Young K: Radio lets me look into bits of many lives. I get to communicate with lots of new people and think from different perspectives. For example, a kid says she really doesn't want to go to school. The next person says she also doesn't want to go to school, but this time, it’s coming from a teacher. Another merit would be me being able to send my voice to My Days and my parents every day. How can I not be elated?

DAY6 will complete 8 years on September 7, a day prior to my birthday, which I am always pumped about. Interestingly, the album drops in the same month. Is this month special to you? Have you ever sat back and wondered about your musical journey over the years?

Young K: Happy Birthday! From time to time I tend to look back on what I've done. I realize what I've done good, and what I’ve lacked. I learn from the mistakes and grow. The more I get to know, the more I see. Never perfected it, but it was the best that I could do.

I have often wondered if you ever had a chance to watch any content from India or heard any of the artists. If yes, what or who are they?

Young K: I'm still not quite familiar with artists from India, but I'm willing to know more! Please give me recommendations!

The last time you left a message for Indian fans of DAY6, they were extremely delighted and also praying for your safe return. Is there a message you want to leave for fans on this comeback?

Young K: I gotta say thank you for all the support. The only thing I wish for you guys is to stay healthy and happy. Hope I get a chance to visit you guys too!

How Hungama Reinvented Music Streaming in India

In the ever-evolving world of digital entertainment, music streaming has undergone significant transformation over the past decade. Hungama, one of India’s leading entertainment platforms, has played a pivotal role in this revolution. From Bollywood hits to indie music, Hungama has redefined how Indians consume music by offering a seamless and highly curated experience for its users. In this article, we will explore how Hungama reinvented music streaming in India, offering users a unique experience through its rich content library, innovative features, and user-friendly interface. The platform’s ability to cater to the diverse tastes of Indian listeners has made it a standout service, ensuring that "Hungama" is synonymous with quality music streaming.

1. The Early Days of Music Streaming in India

Before the advent of music streaming platforms, the Indian music industry was primarily driven by physical sales, radio, and television. The digital transformation began slowly, with illegal downloads and piracy dominating the early 2000s. As smartphones became more affordable and data prices dropped, streaming services began to emerge, giving users access to a vast array of music at their fingertips.

This digital shift created an opportunity for platforms like Hungama to tap into a growing market. Launched in 1999, Hungama started as an online promotions company but soon ventured into music streaming. Recognizing the potential of digital entertainment, Hungama became one of the first companies to introduce a legal music streaming platform in India, thus marking the beginning of its journey to revolutionize how Indians consumed music.

2. How Hungama Entered and Disrupted the Market

When Hungama entered the music streaming market, it faced competition from global players like Spotify and Apple Music, as well as local competitors like Gaana and Saavn. However, Hungama’s strong understanding of Indian culture and its strategic partnerships with Bollywood and regional music industries gave it a competitive edge. Unlike other platforms that primarily focused on international hits, Hungama emphasized local content, catering to India's diverse linguistic and cultural landscape.

Hungama’s partnerships with Bollywood production houses allowed it to offer exclusive tracks, making it a must-have for fans of Indian cinema. Moreover, by integrating regional music from across India, Hungama attracted users from all corners of the country. This localized content strategy enabled Hungama to quickly build a loyal user base, distinguishing itself as a platform that celebrated Indian music.

3. Key Features That Differentiate Hungama Music

One of the key factors that set Hungama apart from other streaming platforms is its innovative features, which enhance the overall user experience. Some of the standout features include:

Personalized Playlists: Hungama’s algorithm uses user preferences to create personalized playlists that cater to individual tastes. Whether you are a fan of Bollywood hits, classical tunes, or indie music, Hungama ensures that your playlist is always tailored to your preferences.

Music Videos and Live Radio: Unlike many other platforms that focus solely on audio, Hungama also offers music videos, allowing users to enjoy visual content alongside their favorite tracks. Additionally, Hungama’s live radio feature offers a more traditional experience, with curated channels catering to different genres and moods.

Loyalty Program: Hungama’s gamified loyalty program rewards users with points for every interaction, such as listening to songs, watching videos, or sharing content. These points can be redeemed for digital downloads, discounts, and even physical merchandise, adding an extra layer of engagement and loyalty.

Offline Listening: Hungama recognizes that uninterrupted access to music is a necessity in a country where internet connectivity can be patchy. With its offline listening feature, users can download their favorite tracks and enjoy them even without an internet connection, ensuring that their music experience is never disrupted.

4. Hungama’s Impact on the Indian Music Industry

Hungama’s influence on the Indian music industry has been profound. By providing a platform for legal music streaming, Hungama has helped combat the issue of piracy that plagued the industry in the early 2000s. Moreover, Hungama has created a revenue stream for artists and record labels, allowing them to profit from streaming rather than relying solely on physical sales or radio royalties.

One of the most significant impacts Hungama has had is its role in promoting independent artists. While Bollywood continues to dominate the Indian music scene, Hungama has also embraced indie musicians, offering them a platform to reach a wider audience. With curated playlists that spotlight indie tracks, Hungama has contributed to the growing popularity of non-mainstream music in India, giving artists a chance to shine alongside commercial heavyweights.

5. User Feedback and Experience on the Platform

User feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Hungama’s easy-to-use interface and extensive music library. The platform’s ability to offer both mainstream and niche content means there’s something for everyone, making it an appealing choice for users across different age groups and regions.

Another aspect of Hungama that resonates with users is its affordability. The platform offers various subscription models, including a freemium version with ads and a premium option that unlocks additional features. This flexibility ensures that users can choose a plan that fits their budget while still enjoying a high-quality music experience.

Hungama’s emphasis on user engagement is also a notable highlight. With regular updates, exclusive releases, and interactive features, the platform continuously keeps users coming back for more. Whether it’s discovering new artists or revisiting old favorites, Hungama makes the music experience feel fresh and exciting.

6. Hungama’s Future in Music Streaming

The future of music streaming in India looks promising, and Hungama is well-positioned to continue leading the charge. With the rise of 5G technology, users can expect faster download speeds and better streaming quality, which will further enhance Hungama’s offerings.

Additionally, Hungama is likely to continue expanding its original content, including exclusive music releases, live concerts, and artist collaborations. By staying ahead of the curve and continuously innovating, Hungama will remain a dominant player in the Indian music streaming market.

Conclusion Hungama has truly reinvented music streaming in India. By offering a platform that prioritizes local content while embracing global trends, Hungama has created a unique space for itself in the Indian entertainment ecosystem. From Bollywood tracks to indie music, Hungama delivers a rich, personalized experience that caters to diverse tastes and preferences. As the music streaming industry continues to evolve, Hungama’s innovative features and user-centric approach ensure that it will remain at the forefront of this digital revolution. For anyone looking for a seamless and dynamic music streaming experience, "Hungama" is the platform to watch.

Nani regrets lashing out against Arshad Warsi for his remark about Kalki 2898 AD turned Prabhas into a ‘joker’: “My choice of words was poor”

Nani, a Telugu celebrity, is in damage control mode after his comments on Arshad Warsi generated a new scandal. Nani found himself trending online just a day after releasing the teaser for his new film, Surya's Saturday, but not for the reasons he had planned. The dispute erupted after a journalist questioned Warsi about his criticism of Prabhas' involvement in the summer movie Kalki 2898 AD. Warsi had expressed his dissatisfaction with Prabhas' portrayal on Unfiltered by Samdish, referring to him as a 'joker' and comparing him to Mel Gibson in Mad Max.

Nani's initial reaction, when translated into English, appeared harsh. "The guy you are referring about must have received the maximum publicity in his life. "You are unnecessarily glorifying an insignificant issue," he was quoted as saying. While this elicited cheers from Prabhas' followers, it caused outrage from Hindi filmgoers who perceived it as an insult to Warsi.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Nani emphasized that his remarks were 'lost in translation.' He acknowledged his feelings for Prabhas and his natural desire to defend him but said that his opinion changed after watching the entire video of Warsi's interview.

"I noticed online how a language sounds when translated into English. "That happens on social media," he said. "I just heard what he had said because the chopped video was all over social media, just like mine was yesterday. See, it's about a very special person. When it's about someone you really care about, you immediately react and say, 'Why are you assigning so much importance to an inconsequential matter?' However, after seeing so many reactions on social media, I went back and watched the entire thing. So now I get it. The situation has been blown out of proportion by the media and social media. And even my reaction has been exaggerated.

Nani underlined the necessity of actors being careful with their language when making public declarations. "Arshad Warsi ji is an excellent performer, and we all adored him in Munna Bhai, not just in the north and south, but throughout India. "It's a family movie," he explained. "When we sit with our friends in our homes, we can criticize films and actors. However, as actors, we must be very careful with our word choices. So, in that way, he and I are both victims."

The actor used a hilarious analogy to describe his new film, in which the protagonist focuses his fury on a specific day. "Like Surya's Saturday, we all need to have that one day when we react and not react the same day so that we can really gauge our words much better."

Nani freely recognized his mistake and accepted responsibility for it. "My word choice was likewise terrible. The most important thing you can do is accept your regrets. But I'm also stating that it sounds so horrible when translated. In this case, the journalist was repeatedly bringing up the subject, and I was attempting to point out that they were overemphasizing it. Someone expressed their views, and there was a reply; that is how it began. One comment from either side will be blown out of proportion. And if we slipped, it's time we accepted responsibility, whether it was my or someone else's. We must go through this entire period before moving on because emotions can be strong and you may react to something and think, 'It was unnecessary, why did I react?'"

Nani respected Warsi's freedom to express his viewpoint but noted that better wording should have been used. "At the end of the day, what matters is that Kalki is a Rs. 1,000 crore film. People adore it. Of course, you don't have to like it. We all have opinions, and everyone has the right to speak to them, even Warsi. However, he should use better terms. Also, who should we correct? But someone asked for our opinion, and we responded."

Moving beyond the current debate, Nani stressed the positive ties between Bollywood and South Indian movies. "I've always been a fan of directors and actresses here, and we grew up watching their films. Fans of Telugu cinema clash on social media. Every day, you need a war-related topic. That's how they spend their mornings and evenings. This is exciting for them. But let us stop taking social media warfare seriously. When we meet, we don't consider the North-South divide. The biggest difference will be between our favorite foods and yours (laughter). In fact, we desire to learn more about each other. Cinema is quite popular right now. In 2024, there will be Indian cinema, and we will all operate as studios from various regions, producing films in various languages and distributing them throughout India. There is mutual respect, which we express whenever possible. This has now increased. That's why, I suppose, even minor events elicit more emotion because we didn't have this (love exchange) before. If such things happened every other day, no one would have noticed this one. But we've been seeing love for so long that all of these words are major news.

If such things happened every other day, no one would have noticed this one. But we've been seeing love for so long that all of these words are major news.

In 2024, there will be Indian cinema, and we will all function as regional studios, producing films in various languages and distributing them across India. There is mutual respect, which we show whenever feasible. This has now increased. That is why, I believe, even simple situations provoke more emotion because we had not before experienced this (love exchange). If such incidents occurred every day, no one would have noticed this one. But we've been seeing love for so long that all of these words seem groundbreaking.

In 2024, there will be Indian cinema, and we will all operate as regional studios, producing films in a variety of languages and distributing them throughout India. There is mutual respect, which we demonstrate whenever possible. This has now increased. That is why, I feel, even basic circumstances elicit greater emotion because we have not before experienced this (love exchange). If such things happened every day, nobody would have noticed this one. But we've been seeing love for so long that these phrases feel revolutionary. Fans and industry professionals have both reacted negatively to this. However, Arshad Warsi has not responded to the backlash

On Ronit Roy's dark time, Rohit Roy “It was a volatile phase for him because there was no work”

With Kasauti Zindagi Kay, Ronit Roy's career was given a new lease on life.

Since more than three decades ago, Ronit Roy has acted frequently in both films and television. The actor has established a niche for himself and, most significantly, has avoided becoming stereotypical in any one role. But there was once a time in his career when he was going through a dark and dismal period. Rohit Roy, an actor and Ronit's brother, talked about this experience the former had.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Rohit disclosed, "The phase that he (Ronit) was going through, it was just me with him, there was no one else. It was a very volatile phase for him. It was volatile because there was no work. Industry had rejected him. His friends would tell me ‘Rohit, you are a star on TV, but your brother won’t make it"

After making his feature debut with Bank Robbery, Ronit went on to become well-known in 1992 with the love romance Jaan Tere Naam. Back then, "Akkha India Jaanta Hai," the movie's smash hit song, had also become a national anthem. But after a few more films, Ronit's success vanished. But the popular TV programmes Kasauti Zindagi Kay and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi gave his career a boost.

Although Rohit is his younger brother, at that time he had to act as his older brother. Then Rohit said, "I was his older brother. People who see him now don’t remember that phase. Because his film audience… They went away with the film. The viewers he gained after Kasautii, they don’t know about his struggle. For them, Ronit Roy is Rishabh Bajaj (his character from Kasauti Zindagi Kay).”

In the 2017 film Kaabil, which starred Hrithik Roshan, Ronit Roy and Rohit Roy shared the screen. It's interesting to note that both brothers had bad roles in the film.

★ EXCLUSIVE: Once Salman Khan arrives on sets, you feel there is a lot of life, recalls his Tiger 3 co-star Revathy!

February 20, 2023

During the start of his career, Salman Khan acted in the love story titled Love where he was cast opposite Revathy. Directed by Suresh Krissna, the film also starred Amjad Khan, Shafi Inamdar, Suhas Joshi and Rita Bhaduri. More than a decade later, Salman and Revathy crossed paths again in Phir Milenge (2004). But this time, Revathy was his director, along with a co-star, in the film that also starred Abhishek Bachchan and Shilpa Shetty.

Looking back at her bond with Salman and the making of Phir Milenge, Revathy told Bollywood Hungama exclusively that working with him was very easy because there is mutual respect. “Salman has always given me a lot of love and respect,” she said. “He accepted Phir Milenge in like two days. He heard it and he was like, ‘Aap direct kar rahe hain toh main kar loonga’ (If you are directing the film, I will do it). It was so nice.”

Recalling the shoot, Revathy added, “He was so amazing. He had to shoot for 5-6 days. He was absolutely very cooperative and giving. Once he comes on the sets, you feel like there is a lot of life.”

Revathy will be reuniting with Salman later this year in the keenly awaited Tiger 3. Speaking about Salman’s stature in the film industry right now, she said, “That (Phir Milenge) was in 2004. Abhi toh bohat bade star ho gaye hain (Now he has become a very big star). It is very nice to see the growth of a person you like.”

Phir Milenge dealt with the issue of HIV and AIDS. It told the story of a woman who gets fired from her job after her company realizes that she is HIV positive.

This year, Revathy is also gearing up for the release of Jagjivan Ki Patni Ka Teesra Pyar. Directed by Rajesh Bachchani, the movie sees her cast opposite the late veteran actor Vikram Gokhale, who passed away in last November
