When it comes to Madhur Bhandarkar, you know he isn’t here to sugarcoat Bollywood. From Page 3 to Fashion and Heroine, the man thrives on spilling tea straight from the industry’s glittering (and messy) corridors. Now, with his latest film, The Wives, he’s promising yet another peek behind the glossy curtains of stardom. But before you think Fatima Sana Shaikh is part of the drama, hold that thought. The director has set the record straight once and for all.
Fatima Sana Shaikh is not a part of the wives
Gossip was in overdrive earlier this year when whispers linked Fatima Sana Shaikh to the project. However, Madhur shut it down, and Fatima was never approached, signed, or even remotely considered for The Wives. Basically, on the internet, you’ve been catfished by rumours! He shared, “The reports around her casting were all untrue. She never signed the film or never roped in to play one of the wives in the film.”
The film has officially wrapped shooting. Madhur confirmed it himself during an interview with Hindustan Times, saying, “The shoot of the film has been wrapped up and I can’t wait to see the audience reaction. The film has come out well and will start the post production soon.”
Meet The Actual ‘Wives’
Forget the rumours and say hello to the real lineup: Mouni Roy, Regina Cassandra, and Sonali Kulkarni leading the glam charge, with strong support from Saurabh Sachdeva, Rahul Bhat, Arjan Bajwa, and Ilaha Dhillon. Now that’s an ensemble built for fire and fireworks.
What’s The Film About?
Expected to drop in early 2026, The Wives isn’t just about luxury handbags and picture-perfect brunches. This one goes into the messy underbelly of star-wife culture. Expect scandals, secrets, and the unfiltered drama of living in Bollywood’s blinding spotlight. Basically, if Page 3 was your guilty pleasure, this is the film you’ve been waiting for.
