Tere Bin Laden to release in Pakistan as Tere Bin
MUMBAI: Walkwater Media’s Tere Bin Laden is facing pre-release blues these days. The Pooja Shetty owned production house has brought about a change in the title for the film to release in Pakistan.
The title of the film to be shown in Pakistan would be Tere Bin as a precautionary measure. This because the situation in Pakistan is very sensitive and if any terrorists see the name Laden, they might create trouble before screening of the film, feels the distributor Ali Zafar who also plays the lead in the film.
The film’s release in the US has also been pushed ahead. It is slated to release in India along with Pakistan, Dubai, Australia and the UK on 16 July.
Avers writer-director Abhishek Sharma, “We want to see the response the film gets only after which we will release the film in the second phase.”
Tere Bin Laden is a tongue-in-cheek comedy about an ambitious Ali, a young news reporter from Pakistan who is desperate to migrate to the US in pursuit of the American dream. His repeated attempts to immigrate are shot down as his visa is always rejected.
But as things worsen, he comes across an Osama Bin Laden look alike, Ali then hatches a scheme to produce a fake Osama video and sell it to news channels as a breakthrough scoop.

Dhurandhar 2 hit by YouTube leak amid record box office run
Cam-rip surfaces online but blockbuster streak continues at record pace
MUMBAI: It has been a dramatic week for Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Even as the espionage thriller smashes box office records, a piracy scare briefly threatened to steal its thunder after a full-length version surfaced on YouTube.
The leak emerged on March 30 via a channel titled “A2z movie”, which uploaded what appeared to be a cam-recorded print of the film. Clocking in at nearly three hours and 49 minutes, the footage was reportedly blurry but complete enough to spark spoilers and fan outrage online.
Soon after, users on X began flagging the issue, explicitly naming the “A2z movie” channel in their posts while tagging the film’s makers and urging swift legal action. Fans of director Aditya Dhar and lead star Ranveer Singh were particularly vocal, helping the issue gain rapid traction.
Within hours, the video was taken down, likely through a mix of platform detection systems and intervention by producers Jio Studios and B62 Studios.
Despite the leak, the film’s theatrical run remains virtually unshaken. As of March 31, the sequel has raked in an estimated Rs 872.17 crore net in India, with worldwide collections soaring to Rs 1,392.23 crore. Its Hindi opening day alone brought in Rs 102.55 crore, setting a new benchmark.
In a notable milestone, the film has matched Pushpa 2 as the fastest Indian release to cross the Rs 1,000 crore mark globally, achieving the feat in just seven days.
Interestingly, the version leaked online is believed to be an earlier cut. Midway through its theatrical run, the makers issued revised prints after eagle-eyed viewers spotted a fleeting editing error involving a cameraman’s reflection. The corrected version now plays across cinemas, adding an unusual twist to the film’s release journey.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-stakes sequel stars Ranveer Singh alongside Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun. The film has drawn praise for its scale and action sequences, though some critics have pointed to its intense violence and layered political themes.
For now, piracy may have made noise, but it has not slowed the juggernaut. If anything, the episode underlines the film’s cultural grip, proving that even a leak cannot derail a box office storm already in full force.
