Marking the debut of Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa’s first film under their banner Kampa Film, Toaster stars Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Abhishek Banerjee and Archana Puran Singh. ~
Mumbai, 26 March 2026: Most wedding gifts are given, exchanged with a smile, and eventually forgotten. But what happens when the wedding gets called off after the gift exchange — and someone simply refuses to forget their gift? That’s where the madness of Netflix’s upcoming entertainer Toaster begins. Premiering on April 15, this dark comedy takes an everyday object and turns it into the centre of an increasingly ridiculous chain of events. What starts as a petty fixation quickly spirals into a situation far bigger than anyone expected.
Directed by Vivek Das Chaudhary and produced by Patralekhaa, Toaster marks an exciting new chapter for the actor as she steps into production, bringing together Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra alongside a vibrant ensemble including Archana Puran Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Farah Khan, Upendra Limaye, Vinod Rawat, Jitendra Joshi and Seema Pahwa. The film also sees Rao returning to comedy, which audiences have long loved him in, bringing his signature comic timing to a story filled with escalating chaos.
On wearing a producer hat for the film Patralekhaa, Producer, Kampa Film, shares, “Stepping into production with Kampa Film has been an incredibly meaningful milestone for us, and beginning this journey with Netflix — who have consistently championed distinctive and unconventional stories — makes it even more special. Toaster immediately stood out because it finds humour in the most unexpected places, and the moment we read it, we knew it was a story we wanted to bring to life. Being our very first film makes the experience even more personal for us. Having such a wonderful ensemble come together for this journey has been truly exciting, and we can’t wait for audiences to dive into this entertaining and unpredictable ride.”
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Original Films, Netflix India shares, “Toaster is a quirky dark comedy that begins with a simple miser whose life spirals into complete mayhem in pursuit of getting back his toaster. It’s the kind of inventive storytelling we love to champion at Netflix. With Vivek Das Chaudhary making his directorial debut and Patralekhaa & Raj stepping into the producer’s role for the first time with Kampa Film, the project reflects our continued focus on championing emerging talent behind the camera while bringing an exciting burst of fresh creative energy. All of this comes alive with two phenomenal and much-loved actors, Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra, headlining this family entertainer, alongside a vibrant ensemble. Toaster adds a wonderfully fun note to the diverse mix of stories we’re bringing to audiences this year- an entertaining comedy that builds on relatable situations, dark humour and delightfully escalating chaos.”
With its eccentric characters, madcap twists, and a premise that turns something ordinary into complete mayhem, Toaster promises an entertaining ride that’s as chaotic as it is hilarious.
Catch Toaster exclusively on Netflix on April 15, 2026.

In the message, Babil appears in full shoot mode, giving a glimpse of the prep that goes into his day on set. He mentioned, “Back to the grind, time to make you proud again.” The emotional line immediately resonated with fans online, many of whom are excited to see him back at work. One of the users wrote, “Aapki Damdar Acting Miss Kar rahe the sab”, another one said, “always excited to see you on screen”
The post quickly gathered heartfelt reactions from netizens, with several fans expressing their support and admiration for Babil. While Babil hasn’t revealed details of the project he is currently shooting for, the sight of him back in action mode has brought a wave of excitement among his followers.
A source close to the development shared, “Babil has been excited to be back on set. Acting is something that grounds him, and being in front of the camera again feels very natural to him. The message shared is from the sets of his next project which he just began shooting for in Bhopal”.
For his fans, however, the biggest takeaway is that Babil is back doing what he loves, and that alone is a moment worth celebrating.
Ranveer Singh’s recent spy drama has emerged stronger at the U.S. box office, outperforming a rival horror sequel and underlining its international pull. The film’s steady collections reflect its wide appeal, especially among global audiences drawn to high-octane storytelling.
With sustained momentum across key markets, the film continues to perform consistently worldwide. Its success further highlights the expanding reach of Indian cinema and its growing dominance in the action genre internationally.
The internet recently found itself deeply moved by the heartbreaking story of Punch, the monkey in Japan, sparking conversations across social media about animal cruelty, rescue, and the responsibility humans carry towards voiceless beings. While global stories like these stir compassion and awareness, they also remind us that many animals closer to home need the same attention and care.
Rasha Thadani has always been vocal about her soft spot for animals, but this time she’s gone a step further. The young actor recently adopted a rescued monkey named Angad, choosing to support his journey toward recovery and care.
Angad’s story began under tragic circumstances. When he was first rescued, he was extremely injured and in a fragile condition. Separated from his mother, the young monkey had reportedly been attacked by other monkeys, leaving him with serious wounds that required immediate medical attention and care. Rescuers stepped in at the right time and began treating him, starting the long process of recovery and rehabilitation.
As Angad slowly started healing, his story was shared online in the hope of raising awareness and support. The emotional update caught the attention Rasha Thadani, who was deeply moved by what the little monkey had been through. After seeing the post, she decided to step in and support him.
Rather than just sharing posts about animal welfare, Rasha chose to get directly involved. By adopting Angad, she will be contributing to his medical treatment, daily nutrition, and overall rehabilitation.
Those who know Rasha say this decision doesn’t come as a surprise. An avid wildlife photographer, she often spends time capturing animals in their natural habitat, something that reflects her deep respect for nature. Her love for animals also extends to her own home. She has adopted two dogs, Azaad and Cuddles, who are very much a part of her everyday life. From stopping to help strays to speaking about kindness towards voiceless beings, her affection has never felt forced or occasional, it’s simply who she is.
Angad’s story is one shared by many rescued animals. Monkeys are often found injured or displaced, and their rehabilitation requires patience and long-term commitment. Through this adoption, Rasha is not only supporting one life, but also quietly drawing attention to the larger cause of responsible animal care.
In an industry where every move is amplified, this one feels personal and sincere. For Rasha, adopting Angad isn’t about making noise, it’s about making a difference. And sometimes, that quiet commitment says the most.
Angad is currently under the care of an animal rescue team working towards his recovery and rehabilitation.
