Govinda under spotlight after paparazzi incident goes VIRAL; manager issues BOLD statement: 'Not his fault'

Govinda has found himself in the middle of a controversy that he never saw coming. For the unversed, an altercation had reportedly happened between his security team and paps. Within minutes, the incident quickly went viral and grabbed netizens' attention. And several media reports had mentioned that the star had apologised after the clash. However, Govinda's manager, Shashi Sinha, has a different version to share.

What did Govinda's manager say?

Govinda's manager Shashi Sinha has finally reacted to the reports and denied all claims. As reported by News9 Live, Sinha said, "It was not Govinda's fault, so why would he apologise?" He further added, "Govinda was attending a beauty pageant, while the paparazzi wanted an interview in a restricted area. The security staff were simply doing their duty (sic)."

Govinda's manager further mentioned that it is expected of security personnel to not always recognise everyone present at crowded events. While defending Govinda's security team, his manager said, "Security personnel do not always know who is who at crowded events. They stopped him, and an argument followed. Such things happen." He further stressed on the fact that he too has been stopped by security multiple times, and added that there was no reason to create a scene while the personnel just did their job.

Govinda was recently seen at the grand finale of Mrs India Queen Pehchan Meri Season 4 which was held in Mumbai. He was invited to the event as the chief guest.

Haath kyun laga rahe hain?" Govinda remained calm in the chaos and referred to the paparazzo as his friend.

Has Govinda's Sandwich inspired Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai?

Many believe both films have same plot setup and comedic tone. This is why wondered if the upcoming film was inspired by Sandwich. On May 15, Tips put out a "Public Notice" on its official Instagram account to deny rumours. The statement read, "It has come to our attention that there are discussions in the trade and amongst the public regarding our film, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai (film).

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office collection: Ranveer Singh's sequel FAILED to break one record of original film? What is it?

Dhurandhar 2 box office collection: Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has crossed over two months at the box office. While the Aditya Dhar-directed spy drama is still managing to stay afloat, its run is clearly slowing down. The film is now earning almost entirely from Hindi shows, with collections in other languages almost negligible. Many Hindi shows are also on the verge of being pulled out.

Dhurandhar 2 could not break THIS record of Dhurandhar

Interestingly, Dhurandhar 2 has fallen short of its predecessor in one unusual department- theatre runtime. The original Dhurandhar had a strong run of 70 days in cinemas, but the sequel looks set to end its theatrical journey around the 60-day mark.

According to Sacnilk, the film was playing in just 436 shows on its 60th day, which dropped further to 301 shows on Day 61. Earnings have also taken a big hit. By 7 pm on the 61st day, the movie had collected only around Rs 1 million. The drop in footfalls is quite evident now.

Dhurandhar 2 box office collection

Despite the late slowdown, Dhurandhar 2 has been a massive commercial success overall. It has shattered several box office records and emerged as one of the most profitable sequels of the year. The film has collected a huge Rs 1,146.08 crore net in India so far. Adding its overseas business of Rs 426.67 crore, the worldwide gross now stands at Rs 1,798.19 crore.

About Dhurandhar 2

Dhurandhar 2 is the sequel to the 2025 hit Dhurandhar, which had collected Rs 840.2 crore net in India, Rs 299.50 crore overseas, and Rs 1,307.35 crore worldwide. The new film continues the story of Hamza Ali Mazari, once again played by Ranveer Singh, with Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and others in key supporting roles. While it may not beat the first film's longevity record, Dhurandhar 2 has delivered a strong box office performance and cemented its place as a big 2026 success.

Despite clashing with Ayushmann Khurrana's Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, it has managed to hold its ground really well.

Karuppu box office collection day 4

In just four days, the courtroom drama has crossed Rs 130 crore worldwide and is now racing towards the Rs 150 crore global mark.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Box Office collection day 4: Ayushmann Khurrana’s rom-com brings decent numbers on Monday

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do box office collection day 4: Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, and Wamiqa Gabbi's new comedy Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is chugging along at the box office, but it has received mixed reactions from audiences. While the film is entertaining enough in parts, it hasn't quite matched the magic of its 2019 predecessor starring Kartik Aaryan.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do box office collection day 4

After a decent first weekend, the movie saw a sharp 58.1% drop on its first Monday (Day 4). According to Sacnilk, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do collected Rs 3.25 crore on Monday from 5,563 shows. This takes its total India gross to Rs 24.84 crore and India net collection to Rs 20.75 crore so far.

The film opened with Rs 4 crore on Friday, then showed steady growth with Rs 5.75 crore on Saturday and a solid Rs 7.75 crore on Sunday. Overseas, it added Rs 0.75 crore on Day 4, pushing the international total to Rs 4 crore. The current worldwide gross stands at Rs 28.84 crore.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do vs Pati Patni Aur Woh

Compared to the original Pati Patni Aur Woh, this sequel is trailing behind. The 2019 film had collected Rs 5.70 crore on its fourth day and had crossed Rs 41 crore in India by then.

More about Pati Patni Aur Woh Do

Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do brings back the situational comedy formula with Ayushmann playing the flustered husband caught between multiple women. While the cast is energetic and the film has its funny moments, it seems to be struggling to create the same level of buzz and repeat value as the earlier version. With no major competition in the coming weeks, its performance over the next few days will be crucial in deciding its final box office fate.

On Monday, Ayushmann Khurrana took to his Instagram Stories to share a post about the film's growth at the box office on Sunday. He captioned it, "#PatiPatniAurWohDo is showing fantastic box office momentum with nearly 40 per cent growth coming in today, which clearly indicates strong audience acceptance. Family entertainers thrive on positive word of mouth, and this film is gradually finding its space among the masses."

BREAKING: Cocktail 2 trailer to be launched on May 29; media gets EXCLUSIVE glimpse of foot-tapping track ‘Mashooka’ and soulful number ‘Tujhko’

A fun event was hosted by the Cocktail 2 team at a premium restobar in central Mumbai on Sunday, May 17, and was attended by Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna, producers Dinesh Vijan and Luv Ranjan, director Homi Adajania and music director Pritam Chakraborty. The media was invited to the bash with the promise of a surprise.

The surprise turned out to be an exclusive preview of two songs from the film – ‘Mashooka’ and ‘Tujhko’. ‘Mashooka’ features Shahid Kapoor romancing Kriti Sanon in Sicily, Italy, and other picturesque locations. The foot-tapping number sees the duo in a playful, goofy mood before ending with a seductive dance sequence.

‘Tujhko’, meanwhile, is sung by Arijit Singh and focuses on Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. The slow romantic number hints that the two characters were college sweethearts before circumstances pulled them apart.

After both songs were unveiled, the media was asked to decide which one should release first. Initially, the journalists were asked to simply shout out the name of their preferred track. Later, a QR code flashed on the screen, directing them to a link where they could cast their vote.

The results were then announced, with ‘Mashooka’ receiving more votes than ‘Tujhko’. This led to some fun banter among the team, as they felt both tracks were equally strong and were in two minds about which one should be unveiled to the world first. Pritam Chakraborty insisted that the team should respect the voters’ choice and release ‘Mashooka’ first. Dinesh Vijan then announced that ‘Mashooka’ would indeed be the first song to be launched, followed by ‘Tujhko’.

Interestingly, ‘Tujhko’ ends with a slate announcing that the much-awaited trailer of Cocktail 2 will be launched on May 29. The film is scheduled to release in cinemas on June 19.
