The global Punjabi music star, who recently made history as the first Punjabi artist to headline Rolling Loud, will return to India in early 2026 for a six-city tour presented by Team Innovation. The tour will cover Bengaluru, Indore, Pune, Mumbai, New Delhi and Chandigarh, with the latter two cities hosting Aujla’s first-ever stadium performances in India.

Returning with the P-POP CULTURE World Tour is something I’ve been excited about for a long time. This album represents my growth, my culture and my vision for Punjabi music on the world stage.”Mohit Bijlani, Founder of Team Innovation, added, “Karan’s rise as a global Punjabi music icon has been exceptional. After the success of the 2024 tour, we knew the next chapter had to be even bigger.

K., North America, New Zealand and India. The P-POP CULTURE World Tour builds on that momentum, further cementing his standing as one of Punjabi music’s most influential figures.

‘Ba***ds of Bollywood is not a documentary on the Cordelia cruise incident’: Shah Rukh Khan-owned Red Chillies counters Sameer Wankhede’s defamation claim

A legal battle is underway between IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and Shah Rukh Khan’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment over the Netflix web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, directed by Aryan Khan. Wankhede has filed a Rs 2 crores defamation suit at the Delhi High Court, claiming that the show’s portrayal of a government officer is a veiled depiction of him and has damaged his reputation, particularly in relation to the 2021 Cordelia Empress cruise drug case involving Aryan Khan. In response, Red Chillies Entertainment opposed Wankhede’s plea for an interim injunction to stop streaming the series. Senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, representing Red Chillies, argued that while the show draws inspiration from overzealous officers, it does not specifically depict or reference the Cordelia cruise incident. Kaul stressed, “Can satire and fiction co-exist? There is no law that it cannot co-exist. I may be partly inspired by real persons and stories yet there can be disclaimers, no problem with two existing together. Where is the ill-will or malice? This is about a success story in a Bollywood party.”He further argued, “We are not looking at people who are sensitive, hurt is not ground for malice. Can you pick a stray instance, a passage here or there? The series is about 20 different issues. We do not show a documentary on the Cordelia cruise incident. I am inspired by overzealous officers. That is far from saying that this is the Cordelia cruise story.”Kaul further claimed that Wankhede is fond of giving interviews to the media and said, “You cannot say that the person depicting ills in Bollywood cannot show overzealous officers. I cannot be responsible for what other people say. I am fully entitled to depict issues ailing Bollywood. Even if I am to project someone, a public official cannot be that thin-skinned,” on behalf of Red Chillies. Concluding his argument, Kaul said, “Even if I portray you unjustly it is still not the case. Every scene in this show is exaggerated. I am not ridiculing him or the emblem. I am talking about officials who have lofty ideas.”The next hearing is scheduled on November 27, 2025, where the court will hear arguments on behalf of Netflix.

Delhi HC flags bias in Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds Of Bollywood as Sameer Wankhede accuses Netflix show of targeting him

Aryan Khan’s debut directorial series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, has been caught in a legal storm ever since viewers pointed out that one of the characters appears similar to former NCB officer Sameer Wankhede. The resemblance sparked online debate, eventually leading Wankhede to file a defamation suit against Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Netflix. Now, the case has reached a crucial stage, with the Delhi High Court questioning the portrayal and the intent behind the disputed scene. What Triggered the Dispute? Soon after the show premiered, social media users began highlighting that a character in the series looked “too close for comfort” to Wankhede, the officer who led the high-profile 2021 drug case that involved Aryan Khan. Wankhede argued that the scene not only mocked him but also painted him in a biased and negative light. His petition states that the portrayal has led to public shaming, online trolling, and even threats to his family. Red Chillies’ Stand: “It’s Satire”During the latest hearing on November 17, Senior Advocate Kaul, representing Red Chillies Entertainment, defended the creative choices made in the series. He stressed that the show is a work of satire and not a biographical retelling: “I’m entitled to do this. Characters can be inspired. Tomorrow, anyone can say a character resembles them-paparazzi, producers, anyone.”Kaul also drew comparisons with legendary cartoonist R. K. Laxman, whose iconic work often poked fun at political leaders. He argued that satire has long been part of Indian creative culture. However, the court pushed back on this comparison, saying Laxman’s cartoons did not carry the type of bias that Wankhede claims exists in the show. Wankhede’s Side: “It Damages My Reputation”Wankhede’s lawyer, J. Sai Deepak, argued that even if the makers label the show as satire, they must acknowledge who the character is based on since the series references real events. He said the scene in question brings nothing significant to the narrative but has serious consequences for his client: “It affects me. Red Chillies and Netflix lose nothing if the scene is removed.”Deepak also claimed that the portrayal has pushed Wankhede into a “public trial” and pointed out that the series has convinced many viewers that he lacks integrity. The advocate went on to mention a review by Kamal R. Khan, which accused the show of mocking Wankhede-something he says contributed to online abuse directed at the former officer. During the hearing, the court also asked about the ongoing cases involving Wankhede, which include proceedings by the CBI, ED, and CAT. At this point, Wankhede personally addressed the court, asking: “Do I deserve this trial in public opinion?”The court has not passed a final verdict yet.

Farhan Akhtar starrer 120 Bahadur creates history; becomes first film ever to release in Defence theatres across India

India’s exhibition landscape is witnessing a groundbreaking moment as Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios’ upcoming war epic 120 Bahadur becomes the first film in the country to release across defence theatres nationwide. This landmark initiative, enabled through PictureTime’s mobile cinema network, ensures that a film honouring unparalleled courage will directly reach the brave hearts it pays tribute to. The Farhan Akhtar-starrer is set to screen exclusively for the defence community in more than 800 cinema halls across India when it opens globally on November 21. The rollout, executed by PictureTime in collaboration with GenSync Brat Media, marks a major leap in accessibility, bringing high-quality cinematic experiences to soldiers and their families posted in remote and previously underserved regions. Explaining the scale and impact of the initiative, Sushil Chaudhary, Founder-CEO of PictureTime, highlighted the long-standing gap in entertainment access for armed forces personnel. “There are 1. 5 million active soldiers and over six million viewers. But only 30 percent of India’s 20-million strong veteran and family audience has access to defense cinemas. We aim to expand the ecosystem to additionally reach the underserved 70% and we begin with a bang with 120 Bahadur, a film we know will deeply resonate with the forces,” Chaudhary said. Excel Entertainment CEO Vishal Ramchandani echoed this sentiment, emphasising the emotional significance of the film’s defence-first release. “120 Bahadur honours the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces. We feel truly privileged that the soldiers whose spirit the film celebrates will be watching it with their families. Our sincere thanks to PictureTime for facilitating this screening for those who serve the nation.”Based on the heroic Battle of Rezang La, 120 Bahadur features a strong ensemble cast including Raashii Khanna, Sparsh Walia, Vivan Bhatena, Dhanveer Singh, Digvijay Pratap, Sahib Verma, Ankit Siwach, Devendra Ahirwar, Ashutosh Shukla, Brijesh Karanwal, Atul Singh, along with senior officers Ajinkya Deo and Eijaz Khan. Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, and Amit Chandrra, 120 Bahadur releases in cinemas on November 21, 2025.
