Bollywood gossip Franchise Fever:

Franchise fever is dominating Bollywood chatter in 2025, with IP-led sequels and casting gossip fueling feeds.

  • Ayushmann Khurrana will lead the Pati Patni Aur Woh sequel, a post that’s sparked lively debates about whether the actor fits the role and how the love triangle might unfold [1].

  • Ayan’s mountainside Insta caption about writing a script has fans reading Brahmastra 2 on the cards, turning a vacation note into sequel speculation [2].

  • The Khalnayak conversation isn’t just about casting—it’s a debate over whether a modern remake feels like a cash grab, with fans arguing about who could pull off the iconic energy of the original [3].

  • Aryan Khan is in the spotlight again as BTS stills for The Bads of Bollywood surface after a Netflix India reveal, with the project billed as directed by *Aryan Khan themselves [4]. Netflix India’s official BTS drops have kept the chatter fresh and fueled fan theories about the film’s direction [4].

All this points to 2025’s gossip cycle being driven by IP-first moves, eyebrow-raising casting chatter, and the slow burn of official confirmations. Watch for what actually gets greenlit versus what stays as rumor fuel.
