Release date of Aamir Khan’s Talaash postponed
MUMBAI: In view of Aamir Khan’s pre-occupation with his television show Satyamev Jayate, producers Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar and Khan himself have decided to postpone the release of their film Talaash: The Answer Lies Within directed by Reema Katgi.
The film, which was to be released on 1 June, will not be pushed back to 30 November.
Confirming this, Sidhwani said,”Since Talaash is the actor‘s next big release after 3 Idiots, we mutually decided to push the release of the film forward. Besides, Aamir will now get sufficient time to promote the film.”
Talaash: The Answer Lies Within is Excel Entertainment’s psychological thriller that also features Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor in pivotal roles.
Though the shooting of the film is complete and the post-production would conclude much before the due date, the producers took the decision to give Khan time to promote the film.
Khan is hosting and producing Satyamev Jayate that brings real life stories on the small screen for Star Plus.

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.
