The Bollywood News cycle is moving fast on September 22, 2026, with fresh updates arriving from films, courts and the box office.
Ajay Devgn’s upcoming supernatural thriller with director Rohit Jugraj has reportedly been titled Surya Prakash. Manoj Bajpayee, meanwhile, has moved the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his personality rights amid concerns over alleged AI-driven misuse of his image and voice.
At the box office, Hanuman Ansh has achieved another major milestone after more than six weeks in theatres. And on the awards front, the 72nd National Film Awards are being held today at a new venue.
Here are the latest Bollywood News updates for September 22, 2026.
Ajay Devgn’s Supernatural Thriller Gets a Title - Surya Prakash
One of the freshest Bollywood News developments today concerns Ajay Devgn’s upcoming supernatural thriller.
The actor’s film with director Rohit Jugraj has reportedly been titled Surya Prakash.
According to Bollywood Hungama, the title has now been locked after the project had earlier been discussed under other working titles. The report was published at 12:35 PM IST on September 22, making it one of today's fresh film announcements.
The supernatural thriller is reportedly inspired by concepts associated with the Garuda Purana.
Ajay Devgn has built a significant audience in the supernatural genre following projects such as Shaitaan, which makes the development around Surya Prakash particularly noteworthy.
More details about the film, including its complete cast and release plans, are expected as the project moves ahead.
Manoj Bajpayee Moves Delhi High Court Over Alleged AI Misuse
Another major development in Bollywood News Today involves Manoj Bajpayee.
The acclaimed actor has approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his personality rights, alleging unauthorised use of his image, voice and identity, including through artificial intelligence technologies.
The petition raises concerns about digital impersonation and the use of an actor’s identifiable attributes without consent.
The court has reportedly sought information concerning previous orders in similar personality-rights matters.
Bajpayee is not the first Indian celebrity to seek legal protection over the commercial or unauthorised use of personal attributes. The emergence of generative AI has added another dimension to such cases because images, voices and videos can increasingly be synthetically recreated.
The case therefore comes amid a broader conversation around AI, celebrity identity and personality rights in the Indian entertainment industry.
Hanuman Ansh Crosses Rs 350 Crore Worldwide
At the box office, Hanuman Ansh continues its remarkable theatrical run.
The film has now crossed Rs 350 crore worldwide, according to fresh box-office reports published on September 22.
The film reportedly reached approximately Rs 352 crore worldwide by Day 46, an impressive milestone considering that it is now well into its seventh week of theatrical release.
Its sustained performance has made Hanuman Ansh one of the significant Indian box-office stories of 2026.
Unlike films that generate most of their collections during the opening weekend, Hanuman Ansh has continued adding to its total several weeks after release.
The film's performance will now be watched to see how much further it can extend its worldwide total before completing its theatrical run.
National Film Awards 2026 Take Place in Gujarat Today
The 72nd National Film Awards are also among today's major entertainment developments.
The ceremony is scheduled for September 22, 2026, at Ekta Nagar in Kevadia, Gujarat.
This marks a notable change for the National Film Awards, which have traditionally been associated with ceremonies in New Delhi.
The event brings together prominent names from Indian cinema as the country's national honours recognise work across films, performances and technical categories.
With the ceremony taking place today, further celebrity appearances and award-related developments are expected to emerge through the day.
Bollywood News Today: A Busy Day for Hindi Cinema
September 22 has already turned into a busy day for Bollywood News.
Ajay Devgn's Surya Prakash has emerged as a fresh film announcement, while Manoj Bajpayee's Delhi High Court petition has put the growing issue of AI and celebrity personality rights back into focus.
At the same time, Hanuman Ansh continues to make headlines at the box office after crossing Rs 350 crore worldwide, while the National Film Awards put Indian cinema's biggest achievements in the spotlight.
With several developments still unfolding, more latest Bollywood News updates are expected through the day.
