Release of Talaash delayed to 7 December
MUMBAI: The release of Reema Kagti’s Aamir Khan-starrer Talaash has been delayed for the umpteenth time and will now release on 7 December.
The film was initially scheduled to release on 26 January this year. Then came reports that since Khan was a little apprehensive about the climax of the film being strikingly similar to that of the Vidya Balan-starrer Kahaani, he wanted a change in the climax. The film got delayed automatically and was rescheduled for release on 1 June.
But, there was no headway even though the film’s trailers were splashed all over. Then the producers declared that the film would open on 30 November as it was said that Khan was busy with his Satyamave Jayate.
But now it is heard that that the film might come one week later on 7 December, though there is no specific reason given for the delay.
The project is jointly produced by Excel Entertainment and Aamir Khan Productions.

Rajesh Ramaswamy exits The Script Room to focus on filmmaking journey
Ad filmmaker steps away from own venture to pursue direction and storytelling
MUMBAI: In a move that has caught the attention of the advertising and creative community, Rajesh Ramaswamy has announced his exit from The Script Room, the company he co-founded, marking the end of a seven-year stint at the helm.
The decision, which came into effect earlier this month, signals a shift in focus for Ramaswamy, who is now looking to immerse himself fully in filmmaking and direction as an independent creative.
Known for blending sharp advertising insight with storytelling craft, Ramaswamy has been instrumental in shaping The Script Room into a creative hub that delivered campaigns, branded content, and original storytelling formats. Over the years, the company collaborated with agencies, directors, and a wide network of writers, while also experimenting with formats such as short films and web series.
Sharing his thoughts on the transition, Ramaswamy indicated that the move is driven by a desire to focus and explore stories he has been developing over time. While he acknowledged the unconventional nature of stepping away from one’s own venture, he also framed it as a necessary leap toward clarity and creative pursuit.
Importantly, The Script Room will continue its operations with its current team and leadership, with Ramaswamy expressing confidence in the group that helped build the company’s identity. The studio, he noted, remains well-positioned to evolve further with fresh talent and ideas.
His exit also reflects a wider industry trend, where experienced advertising professionals are increasingly transitioning into independent filmmaking, tapping into the growing opportunities across digital and long-form content platforms.
As Ramaswamy steps into this new phase, the move underscores a familiar creative instinct, sometimes, the boldest ideas begin with a clean break.
