Leave it to Rajkummar Rao to turn a household object into a full-blown obsession spiral. Toaster is an offbeat comedy with a dark-crime edge, built around a miser who can’t let go of a toaster he gifted at a wedding, triggering a domino run of chaos that includes murder, mayhem and a very petty sense of entitlement. Directed by Vivek Das Chaudhary and headlined by Rao opposite Sanya Malhotra, the film also stacks up a delicious supporting line-up including Archana Puran Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Farah Khan, Upendra Limaye, Jitendra Joshi and Seema Pahwa.

Welcome to the Jungle (to be announced)
The Welcome universe is going bigger, louder and apparently darker. Welcome to the Jungle is a theatrical action-comedy directed by Ahmed Khan, with Akshay Kumar leading a truly crowded ensemble that includes Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Raveena Tandon, Tusshar Kapoor, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav and more, all marching into chaos. The core chase setup has police officers Jay Bakshi and Sandhya tracking notorious criminal Raj Solanki, until the case turns personal in ways that promise maximum franchise-style confusion.
