PVR Inox has agreed to pay Rs 100 crore for the nationwide theatrical rights of Salman Khan’s upcoming film Monster, slated for an Eid 2027 release. The deal, reported by multiple trade outlets, underscores the star’s box‑office pull and the film’s high‑budget spectacle.

Salman Khan and Arvind Swamy are shooting a large‑scale train sequence for the upcoming action drama Monster in Mumbai, sharing three intense days together amid a ten‑day schedule.
Nayanthara’s romantic comedy ‘Hi’, produced by the actress herself, is expected to arrive on ZEE5 this Friday, September 25, after underperforming in theatres. Rumours also hint that her action drama ‘Toxic’ could drop on the same platform the same day, giving fans a double‑feature weekend.
After a quiet social‑media spell post‑marriage, Nayanthara shared a sun‑kissed beach shoot on Instagram, instantly hitting a lakh likes and revving up excitement for her upcoming Tamil film, Mookuthi Amma 2.
Salman Khan has confirmed he will perform at IIFA 2027 in Abu Dhabi, calling his history with the awards platform a long-standing one, even as no official dates or lineup have been announced yet.
Mookuthi Amman 2 is reportedly stepping back from its Diwali release after teaser criticism over VFX quality, according to Track Tollywood. That would leave Suriya's Scene as the sole big Tamil release on November 6.
Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, Yash's first film since KGF: Chapter 2, is reportedly streaming on ZEE5 from September 25 in multiple languages, though the makers haven't confirmed the date yet.
The Mookuthi Amman 2 teaser has landed, and Tamil social media isn't impressed. Fans are trolling its CGI, comparing the goddess visuals to Sundar C's own Arunmanai franchise instead of praising the sequel.
Nayanthara's Mookkuthi Amman 2, directed by Sundar C, has a Diwali release date locked in. But the teaser and poster have left social media distinctly unimpressed, with some questioning her recent run of films.
Toxic opened to a record Rs 101 crore but has since slowed at the box office. Reports claim its makers rejected a Rs 150 crore pre-release OTT deal, holding out for Rs 200 crore instead.

Weeks after its theatrical run fell short of expectations, Yash-starrer Toxic is still being shopped to streaming platforms. Sources say talks are live but no figure or platform has been finalised.

Weeks after Toxic's box-office collapse, the pile-on against Yash and his co-stars hasn't slowed. The Free Press Journal reports YouTubers claim legal notices and asks whether the criticism has gone too far.
Nayanthara and Kavin's romantic drama Hi has recovered just over half its reported 20 crore budget after ten days in theatres, according to Koimoi, with daily collections now under a crore.
Toxic's makers turned down a Rs 150 crore streaming offer betting on a blockbuster run. The film underperformed, and platforms are now reportedly offering as little as Rs 30 crore, with Zee5 said to be the top bidder.
