Upcoming Movies : It sounds like there’s a lot of exciting cinema to look forward to with these upcoming films. Each project brings something unique to the table, showcasing a blend of fresh talent, ambitious storytelling, and high production values.
Jigra explores a dark and emotional narrative through the lens of a sibling relationship.

Her younger brother is played by Vedang Raina, who makes his theatrical debut following his acclaimed performance in The Archies on Netflix. The film promises a deep, compelling exploration of family dynamics and personal struggles, drawing from Bhatt’s proven track record in delivering impactful performances.
In contrast, Kanguva is shaping up to be a grand spectacle with its extensive budget and ambitious narrative spanning multiple eras. Starring Suriya, the film is directed by Siva and marks a significant addition to the Tamil film industry with its multi-lingual release strategy. This film also introduces Bollywood stars Bobby Deol and Disha Patani to Tamil cinema, with Deol playing the lead antagonist. The recently released teaser has already heightened anticipation, hinting at a visually stunning and narratively complex film.
Martin, starring Dhruva Sarja, is set to be a major highlight in his career. Known for his impact in Kannada cinema, this film represents Sarja’s foray into Bollywood as it’s his first pan-India release. The makers are pulling out all the stops to make this film one of his most significant works to date, aiming to captivate audiences across various linguistic and cultural boundaries. This marks a notable expansion for Dhruva Sarja, positioning him in a larger cinematic landscape.
Each film brings a distinct flavor—be it the emotional depth of Jigra, the epic grandeur of Kanguva, or the ambitious reach of Martin. Fans of these stars and the broader film industry can expect a diverse and engaging slate of releases, showcasing a blend of established talent and emerging stars in innovative roles.
