After 25 years, Arbaaz is relishing the beautiful feeling of fatherhood once again.

Mumbai, 23rd September 2025 – In a groundbreaking one-of-a-kind cinematic project, Paparazzi Entertainment Company introduces audiences to India’s first AI-driven feature film, Kaur vs Kore. Headlined by Sunny Leone, the film brings together a unique blend of futuristic storytelling and deep human emotions, with Sunny set to portray a dual role — one as a human superhero and the other as an AI-powered avatar.
Beyond being a virtual spectacle, Kaur vs Kore is a bold step into the future of cinema, marking a cultural and technological shift in how stories are created and experienced. Paparazzi Entertainment, which has previously built a strong portfolio of AI-generated music videos, advertisements, and short films, now sets its sights on redefining Indian cinema with this ambitious full-length feature film.
Sunny Leone, speaking about the project, shared: “Eight years ago we created a character called Kore and shot a short promo using vfx. We realized after creating it we were in little ahead of time for this character to be accepted. The technology was not where it is today, which makes me so excited to create India’s first full AI superhero film. India is always on the forefront of technology and to be a part of creating this film from the ground up is a very proud moment. Cinema is leveling up and in a big way. We are so excited to take technology not only to Indian cinema but to hopefully the world being the leaders in AI tech.”
Producer Ajinkya Jadhav, founder of Paparazzi Entertainment Company, expressed: “Sunny Leone’s role in Kaur vs Kore as a superhero in dual avatars blends tradition and futurism — it’s a statement of reinvention, strength, and global appeal. This film is not only breaking new ground for us but also for Indian cinema at large. By creating India’s first full-length AI feature film with a renowned actress, we are opening doors for others and placing India firmly on the global map of AI-led cinema.”
Director and Creator Vinil Vasu added: “Kaur vs Kore is not just a film, it’s a cinematic experiment that pushes boundaries. For me, the goal was to prove that AI can be used responsibly to create emotions, drama, and scale that rivals global cinema. This project shows the world that Indian filmmakers are unafraid to innovate and that India can lead the AI cinema movement.” With the power of AI, the film integrates photorealistic visuals, advanced world-building, de-aging technology, and dynamic action sequences — all while maintaining an emotional narrative that resonates deeply with Indian audiences.
Sunny Leone’s dual role in Kaur vs Kore not only breaks new ground for her career but also cements India’s position as a pioneer in the AI-led cinematic movement.

Sanjay and Binaiferr Kohli’s beloved sitcom Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain!, produced under the Edit II banner, continues to rule hearts even after nine successful years on-air. With its perfect blend of humor, drama, and quirky characters, the show is a true gem of Indian television.
Starring Aasif Sheikh, Rohitashv Gour, Shubhangi Atre, and Vidisha Srivastava, the show airs on &TV and is all set to deliver another rollercoaster of hilarious twists this week.
This Week’s Madness in Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain!
In a bizarre turn of events, Vibhuti Narayan Mishra (Aasif Sheikh) falsely accuses Manmohan Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour) of stealing his slippers at the temple. The mix-up begins when both men wear identical slippers, and it turns out that David Chacha (Annup Upadhyay) had accidentally walked off with Vibhuti’s pair. But before the truth emerges, Vibhuti creates a public scene, humiliating Tiwari without a second thought—and without ever apologizing.
Hurt and fuming, Tiwari swears to teach Vibhuti a lesson. His moment arrives when Bhure (Rakesh Bedi) drops by with ₹35 lakhs for a land deal. Tiwari cunningly swipes the money and frames Vibhuti for the theft. The setup is so convincing that even Happu Singh (Yogesh Tripathi) starts suspecting Vibhuti.
Cornered by false accusations and social disgrace, Vibhuti flees and ends up joining a dangerous underworld gang that operates like a corporate firm—but is involved in major crimes. The gang is so powerful, even the cops stay away.
Back home, Anita (Vidisha Srivastava) struggles to face society, embarrassed by her husband’s new “criminal” identity. But when guilt starts eating away at Tiwari, he finally confesses the truth to Bhure. Realizing the mess he’s created, he teams up with Anita to free Vibhuti from the gang’s clutches.
But there’s a twist! The gang demands that Vibhuti either commit a murder, return ₹35 lakhs, or serve a two-year notice. Desperate, Anita and Tiwari plot a heist to retrieve the stolen money from Bhure’s safe. Wearing masks, they sneak into the house—only to be caught red-handed by Angoori (Shubhangi Atre), who, unaware of who they really are, gives them a thorough beating!
With Vibhuti still trapped in the gang’s clutches and the situation spiraling out of control, what will happen next? Will Angoori discover the truth? Can Tiwari and Anita pull off a rescue?
Tune in to find out in this week’s laugh-out-loud episodes of Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! only on &TV!
