Bobby Deol returns as Baba Nirala: Filming for the fourth season of the series 'Ashram' has begun

It is anticipated that 2026 will be a significant year for Bobby Deol, as he continues to delight fans with good news. Over the weekend, the actor made a big surprise for fans: the filming process for the fourth season of the web series 'Ashram' by Prakash Jha has started.

Prakash Jha and Bobby Deol officially announced the start of filming for 'Ashram 4' through social media. On August 22, 2026, Prakash Jha Productions published an official statement on Instagram regarding the commencement of work on the new season. Bobby Deol will once again play the role of Baba Nirala, who is one of the main pillars of the series.

The announcement of the new season stated: 'Another chapter... Welcome to a new episode of Ashram. Japanam. The start of Ashram 4 shooting.' Prakash Jha had previously hinted that the title of the fourth season might be 'Unknown Ashram,' and the plot would focus on Baba Nirala while she is in prison. Inside the ashram, there are expected to be power struggles, the uncovering of traitors, and confrontations with new adversaries.

In the third season, Pammi (Aditi Pohankar) initiated legal proceedings against the Baba, while Sonia (Isha Gupta) portrayed the Baba as 'God Nirala.' In the fourth season, the conflict between all these characters is expected to deepen.

Following his participation in major films like 'Animal,' Bobby Deol's popularity has significantly increased. Prakash Jha noted that the series 'Ashram' also played an important role in raising his profile. The actor is returning to his most memorable role. Although filming has already begun, the release date has not been announced. There is hope that the series will appear on Prime Video (MX Player) in early 2027.

'Ashram 4' will once again reveal layers of deception based on religion, politics, crime, and loyalty. Baba Nirala's performance will take on a new dimension, and Bobby's fans have received the news with great enthusiasm.

Akshay Khanna in a New Look as Shukracharya in Mythological Film 'Mahakali'

Bollywood actor Akshay Khanna is currently experiencing a period of great success. Over the past few years, he has participated in many outstanding projects, including 'Drishyam 2', 'Chawa', 'Dhurandar', and 'Ikka'. Now, the actor will appear in 'Mahakali' in a completely new and powerful guise, the first glimpse of which has generated significant public interest.

Akshay, who received much praise for his performance in 'Dhurandar', is debuting in this mythological film in the Telugu industry. The film's creators announced that the long-awaited teaser will be released on August 24th.

The discussion surrounding 'Mahakali' began after filmmakers Prashant Verma and RKD Studios published a cryptic post on social media with the caption: 'August 24th — the beginning of the end.' Along with this, they shared an image of Akshay Khanna in the role of Shukracharya.

'Mahakali' features Akshay playing the role of Shukracharya—a powerful teacher of the Asuras and Ravana according to Hindu mythology. This character is drastically different from those the actor has previously portrayed, and his first appearance caused considerable buzz online.

In the photo released by the director, he looks almost unrecognizable in this role: a long beard, tangled hair tied on top of his head, and a clearly visible tilak on his forehead give his look a distinct quality. His multi-layered, earthy-toned clothing, along with traditional jewelry and accessories, enhances his impressive and formidable appearance.

This announcement sparked immense enthusiasm among fans, particularly regarding his transformation. One Instagram user wrote: 'We will lose our minds seeing Akshay shirtless.' Another commenter noted: 'We can wait for the Doomsday... but I am more excited about this project... Akshay Khanna.'

In March 2026, Prashant praised Akshay on his birthday, mentioning his calm and natural acting style. He wrote: 'Happy birthday, Akshay Khanna sir, you are a true actor who proves that real talent does not need noise. Your natural presence on screen, strong acting, and unparalleled style always stand out. It is a great honor for me to work with you.'

Besides Akshay Khanna, important roles in this film have also been announced for Bhumi Shetty and Rohit Saraf. According to available information, Bhumi plays the role of 'Mahakali', and her first poster was released in October 2025.
