Actress Sanjeeda Shaikh has been roped in to join Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna for the much-awaited Netflix action thriller Ikka. Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, renowned for helming films like We Are Family, Hichki, and Maharaj, this project marks a notable addition to her growing filmography and promises to be one of the year’s most exciting OTT releases. Ikka stands out as an original script in the OTT landscape, with both Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna leading in parallel roles-a pairing that reunites the actors 28 years after their iconic collaboration in Border (1997). Early speculations suggested the film was a remake of the Hollywood vigilante thriller Death Sentence. However, later reports suggested that both Deol and Malhotra vetoed the idea, opting instead for a fresh, unconventional story. Netflix has been quick to invest in this large-scale actioner, tapping into star power while promising new-age storytelling. Sanjeeda Shaikh joins the cast at a moment when both her co-stars are capturing headlines for their work and personal lives. Sunny Deol, last seen in the theatrical release Jaat, is also preparing for Border 2 and Lahore 1947, while currently spending time with his father Dharmendra, after a recent health scare. Meanwhile, Akshaye Khanna, whose last film was Chhaava where he played Aurangzeb, is set to return to the big screen in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, set for a December 5, 2025 release, alongside Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal; he also has Mahakali lined up in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe. Sanjeeda’s own work front remains impressive, with her latest project, Heeramandi, having been released on Netflix in 2024 to positive reception.

The makers of Sholay have officially announced the release date of the newly restored 4K version of the 1975 classic. The film, featuring director Ramesh Sippy’s originally intended ending, will arrive in theatres on December 12, 2025, marking the first time Indian audiences will see the climax exactly as it was envisioned five decades ago. This announcement comes shortly after veteran actor Dharmendra, who headlined the iconic film alongside Amitabh Bachchan, was discharged from the hospital following a recent health scare. The actor is currently recovering at home. The restored version of Sholay has been created by the Film Heritage Foundation in collaboration with Sippy Films. The team sourced a rare colour reversal print from London, located the original camera negatives, and even recovered long-lost deleted scenes from a warehouse in Mumbai. The result is a 4K restoration that returns the film to its original 70mm format. The film made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) earlier this year and is set for its Australian debut at the Indian Film Festival of Sydney (IFFS) in October. With the newly announced India release, the restoration is now headed for a wide audience. The Original Ending, Five Decades Later One of the biggest draws of this version is the reinstatement of the original climax, where Thakur kills Gabbar Singh-an ending that had been altered due to censorship restrictions during the Emergency. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama last month, Ramesh Sippy explained the circumstances that led to the change. “In 1975, it was the time of the Emergency. So, we couldn’t argue too much. But the end that I put in had to be shot at the last minute,” he said. “This changed climax was the same ending that took place in every film at that time. The police comes and says, ‘Ruk jaao’! It was a typical ending. That’s what I didn’t like; there was no other reason.”He added with humour, “The Censor officials stressed that ‘He’s an officer. He should not be taking the law into his own hands’. Actually, I can’t say hands as he didn’t have any.”With the restored version now set for a December 12 release, audiences will have the chance to revisit Sholay in a form that honours its scale, craft, and original creative vision.

Zee Studios and BLive Productions are gearing up to bring a quirky new comedy to the big screen with Rahu Ketu, which is set to release in cinemas on January 16, 2026. The project marks the much-loved reunion of Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma after the success of the Fukrey franchise. Joining them in a leading role is Shalini Pandey, while the ensemble also includes Piyush Mishra, Chunky Pandey, Amit Sial and Manu Rishi Chadha. At a time when large-scale action dramas and sweeping romances dominate theatres, this film is positioned as a lighter, refreshing alternative that fuses folklore with situational humour and a satirical take on everyday life. Written and directed by Vipul Vig, known for his work on Fukrey, Rahu Ketu aims to present a playful collision between myth and modernity through a comedic lens. The makers recently released a motion poster featuring the catchy ‘Papi’ tune, a hook that quickly caught the attention of fans online. The teaser hints at the film’s mischievous tone, accompanied by the line: “Iss January badlegi aapki ‘dasha’ aur ‘disha’. Only in cinemas.”Umesh Kumar Bansal, CBO, Zee Studios, said, “At Zee Studios, we’re committed to championing stories that break the clutter while staying deeply connected to Indian audiences. Rahu Ketu does exactly that. It taps into our cultural belief systems with a playful twist and brings together a lead cast that’s loved for their comic timing. We are proud to back a film that pushes the comedy genre forward with originality, relevance, and heart.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zee Studios (@zeestudiosofficial)Producer Suraj Singh of BLive Productions added, “From the start, we knew Rahu Ketu needed a team that could balance heart, satire, and scale. Vipul’s vision does exactly that. The film carries the spirit of entertainment we believe in, while giving audiences something genuinely new to experience. We’re thrilled to partner with Zee Studios and can’t wait for viewers to enter this world.”Presented by Zee Studios and produced in collaboration with BLive Productions, Rahu Ketu promises a blend of cosmic mischief, cultural satire and feel-good comedy when it arrives in theatres on January 16, 2026.

Macworld At a glanceExpert’s Rating Pros Includes access to Adobe Express Premium, AI chatbot, 250 generative credits, and more Cross-platform solution available on desktop, mobile, and the web Private approach, pledges not to train AI models using your data Cons Steep price of $35/month or $300/year Mac version installs a ton of bloatware Can’t directly edit files in PDF Spaces Our Verdict Adobe Acrobat Studio is highly reliable for extracting data from complex documents, summarizing them, and making them more presentable. It could assist with work assignments, major purchases or investments, university research papers, and much more. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$35 per month or $300 per year Best Prices Today: Acrobat Studio Retailer Price Adobe $35 View Deal Price comparison from over 24, 000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket A few years ago, if you had told me that in 2025 we’d be chatting with our documents, I would’ve giggled and questioned your sanity. Now it’s the new norm, with companies like OpenAI and Google letting you upload files to their AI platforms and have their chatbots analyze their contents on your behalf. To maintain its dominance in the productivity space, Adobe has launched a similar AI-centric service called Acrobat Studio. Like OpenAI’s ChatGPT Projects and Google’s NotebookLM, Acrobat Studio lets you upload multiple documents to a dedicated digital space. You can then ask the AI chatbot questions about the uploaded information, sparing you from manually reading long walls of text. The subscription also bundles other Adobe services, like Express Premium, the full PDF editing toolbox, 250 generative credits for AI-made media, 100GB of cloud storage, and more. A wide range of documents can be uploaded to Acrobat Studio, including Word and Excel files. Foundry PDF Spaces is Acrobat Studio’s main exclusive perk. While it’s called PDF Spaces, you can actually upload a wide range of file formats to it, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Each space can accommodate up to 100 files at a time, which should be sufficient for most users’ needs. Once you’re done setting up a space, it becomes an independent knowledge base that takes all of the uploaded files’ contents into account. It will then automatically generate insight cards that include handy pieces of information, like summaries, prominent themes, tables breaking down complex details, etc. Each space also has an integrated AI chatbot to which you can direct your questions. The chatbot can be customized to analyze your documents from a certain viewpoint. Foundry One thing I appreciate about the AI integration in PDF Spaces is the ability to customize the chatbot. If your uploaded files revolve around legal matters, for example, you can instruct the assistant to view the document through a lawyer’s lens. The insight cards will also refresh and adapt accordingly. Like similar services, however, the AI chatbot may hallucinate, and the app explicitly warns that you should double-check its results. Fortunately, the chatbot lists citations when answering queries about your documents. If you’re unsure about a certain tidbit, you can quickly jump to the source to verify its accuracy. Adobe also pledges not to train its AI models using the data you upload to its service, making Acrobat Studio more reliable for sensitive matters. Other neat features include online collaboration and support for taking and editing notes relevant to a certain space. The Studio tier is sold under Adobe’s Acrobat brand and bundles the PDF editing suite included with the cheaper Pro version. Despite that, the PDF editing tools are seemingly absent from PDF Spaces. If you want to make changes to an uploaded file (PDF or otherwise), you’ll need to download it from the space, load it in Adobe’s separate PDF editor to amend it, save it, re-upload it to the space, and delete the duplicate file. A useful ecosystem integration would’ve been support for direct PDF file edits inside these digital hubs. Insight cards provide the user with an analysis of the documentation. Foundry Price and availability Adobe Acrobat Studio is available as a recurring subscription service, costing $35 per month or $300 as an annual plan. At the time of writing, the pricing webpage specifies that this is a limited-time, early-access offer. As such, the service could cost even more in the coming weeks. Like other popular Adobe products, you can access Acrobat Studio from desktop, mobile, and the web. If you’re using macOS, I advise you to opt for the website, as the native Acrobat app installs a ton of unnecessary bloatware that will fill up your Mac’s App Library. For more information on Adobe’s pricing read: Adobe Creative Cloud pricing: How to get the best deal. Should you invest in Adobe Studio? Acrobat Studio’s pricing and bundled services don’t make a lot of sense. A welcome move would be offering PDF Spaces as a standalone tool for a cheaper price. It would better compete against ChatGPT Projects and Google NotebookLM, which cost significantly less and serve a comparable purpose. Users who also need Acrobat Pro’s PDF editor, Express Premium’s templates, and the generative credits would get the option to pay extra for the voluntary add-ons. That’s not to say Adobe Acrobat Studio is an invalid product, however. Those who already pay for Acrobat Pro and Express Premium will appreciate the comprehensive bundle and its exclusive PDF Spaces. The AI-powered feature is highly reliable for extracting data from complex documents, summarizing them, and making them more presentable. It could assist with work assignments, major purchases or investments, university research papers, and much more.
