If reports are to be believed, the alleged suspect had started sending death threats to Salman Khan after reading reports about it on social media. Talking about details of this suspect, reports have it that the police is currently keeping the same under wraps because the process of deporting him to India is underway and it is being said that the student is likely return to his home after the term ends.

Salman Khan, who recently appeared on Aap Ki Adalat, had opened up about the immense security which is being provided to the superstar after he received multiple threatening emails. Khan had said, “There are some threats, which is why the security is there. I am doing whatever I have been asked to do. I have got to be very careful… I go everywhere with full security.” The actor had also gone to elaborate that while the massive security has impacted his lifestyle, he takes ample measures to ensure that it doesn’t inconvenience or trouble to those around him.

After certain theatre owners in Southern parts of India raised their voice and stopped the screening of The Kerala Story, the Chief Minister of West Bengal has decided to speak against the film. Mamata Banerjee has not only called for a ban on the Adah Sharma starrer but she has also accused BJP of featuring ‘distorted stories’. Furthermore, the CM has called out the film for ‘humiliating a certain section of people’.

Mamata Banerjee spoke up about The Kerala Story at the Nabanna state secretariat and compared the film to Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files as she said, “Why (make) ‘The Kashmir Files’? to humiliate one section (of people). What’s this Kerala Story? I am not supporting the CPI-M party, they are working with the BJP. I am talking about the people of Kerala. Instead of me, it was their duty to criticize the movie. I am sorry to say this but I will tell the Kerala CM that it's sad that your party is working with the BJP and it is the BJP which is showing these distorted stories,”

In a statement released from the State Information and Cultural Affairs Department, it has been confirmed that the Chief Minister is looking to ban the film in West Bengal. It has been reasoned in the statement that the film ‘promotes false narratives to defame particular communities’. It also states that the visuals depicted in the film could threaten the law and the order of the state which has pushed them to take this step to maintain the peace and harmony amongst their citizens.

The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, features stories about three women, who belong to a different religion, but are manipulated to convert to Islam and forced to join ISIS. The film released in India on May 5, and later, it is releasing on May 12 in Malayalam.

On May 6, all of us watched history as King Charles III was crowned in Westminster Abbey. The event represents a symbolic union of the state, church, and royal family. The nation throws a huge party for the monarch to mark this historic occasion. To create a spectacle that would go down in history, many entertainers from all over the world descended upon London. Sonam Kapoor, a Bollywood actress, arrived at the event, which was one of the occasion's most welcome shocks.  We were thrilled as she entered the stage for her spoken introduction, but it was not the only thing that had us giddy. We were quite interested to see what she dressed to this historic event because she is a fashionista in the broadest sense. She was spotted donning an elaborate outfit. Sonam Kapoor frequently wears Anamika Khanna and Emilia Wickstead clothing, so choosing them for this momentous occasion was a no-brainer. Of course, it is impossible to wear both at once. Maybe she can? Certainly, if you're Sonam Kapoor, it's feasible!

Together with Emilia Wickstead, Anamika Khanna created a dress that incorporated the latter's silhouette with the former's floral design aesthetic. Sonam Kapoor, who is steeped in tradition, made sure to place India on the map of the world and she definitely did. Even though Sonam Kapoor spends most of her time in London, she is as Indian as can be. The blue, green, and red floral patterns by Anamika Khanna that were cascading down were clearly visible. When Sonam Kapoor comes on stage, it's difficult to look away from her because of the ivory gown with the voluminously sculpted skirt and the attractive bodice. What the indicative memo was is obvious. Sonam Kapoor made care to leave no detail untouched when it came to hair and cosmetics. To prevent the erratic London weather from ruining her big fashion moment, her extravagant gown was complimented with soft browns for the eyes, blush pinks for the cheek and lip, and a flawless even complexion. Her hair was fashioned in soft waves.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonam will be next seen in the remake of a Korean film Blind. The film will directly release on OTT.

Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan’s next film has been in the news since last year. An image of both the actors was also leaked on the internet in last November. The film is the next directorial for Laxman Utekar after the highly acclaimed Mimi, which starred Kriti Sanon in the lead. It is now learnt that Vicky and Sara’s film is titled Luka Chuppi 2. It is the second film in the franchise after the first one starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon.

As per the latest update officially shared by the makers, the film will be released on June 2 this year and they will officially release the title on May 16, which is Vicky Kaushal’s birthday.

There were reports last year about Vicky and Sara playing a married couple in the film, although nothing has been revealed officially by the makers. The makers also haven’t revealed whether the film will be released in theatres or directly on OTT. Bollywood Hungama had reported in last September that the film will be released directly on Netflix and that the makers have sold the film to the streaming giant for Rs. 70 crores. This will be Utekar’s second release on Netflix in a row after Mimi.

A source had revealed us back then, “The revenue from the satellite will be over and above this sum of Rs. 70 crores. Laxman Utekar’s last film, Mimi had done wonders for Netflix and even this one is appreciated by those who have seen it. It’s the power of director, content, and producer credibility that has resulted in the film fetching this humongous deal. Dinesh has respected the OTT space by supplying credible content through the lockdown too.”

He even revealed that Ayan has a nice story for the sequel but he eventually got busy with Brahmastra franchise. “Ayan also had a very nice story, I remember, but then he went into this Brahmastra journey. But never say never. He might make it after a couple of years,” he said. He added, “I think the story will be 10 years forward where Bunny, Naina, Avi and Aditi, where they are in their lives. I think it’ll be quite interesting and nice to explore those characters.”

Back in 2018, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor had said that YJHD sequel could be made between Brahmastra Part 1 and Part 2.  “Ayan is on the journey to make Brahmastra, which is very time-consuming. But we have often spoken about Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani 2. He also has an idea for it and he seldom says we should have just done that it would be an easier film. More easier than Brahmastra, because he is going quite crazy, making this film. You never know. Maybe between Brahmastra Part 1 and 2, we get a window of 6 months,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor was last seen Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. He will be next seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, releasing in August 2023. On the other hand, the second part of Brahmastra is now scheduled to release in December 2026 and the third part will be released in December 2027.

In September 2020, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued a notice to actress Kangana Ranaut, alleging that she had carried out unauthorised construction at her office-cum-residential property in Pali Hill, Bandra. Kangana, who has been vocal about her political views on social media, claimed that the notice was politically motivated and that the BMC was trying to intimidate her. Post the incident, Kangana had demanded compensation of Rs 2 crore from the BMC, citing that the demolition of her bungalow was carried out illegally.

Speaking of the same recently, the Queen actress stated that she no longer wants compensation. In a conversation with ABP News, the actress asserted, “I have not got any compensation till now, they were supposed to send evaluators. So, I met Shinde ji (current Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Sambhaji Shinde), and said, ‘Aap hi log mujhe kuch evaluation bhej dijiye (Please send some evaluators)’. I do not want anybody who has abused the money of the taxpayers… I do not want any more compensation, it’s fine.”

The Tanu Weds Manu actress further added, “The court has said they are supposed to pay me whatever compensation, but like I said, they never sent evaluators and I did not demand, because I know it’s tax payers’ money and I don’t want any of it.”

For the unversed, on September 9, 2020, the BMC officials arrived at Kangana's office and began demolishing the illegal structures, the same day that Kangana arrived in Mumbai from Himachal Pradesh. After the demolition, Kangana sought legal action and obtained a stay order on the demolition drive from the Bombay High Court along with a compensation of Rs 2 crores.

Coming to the professional front, the 36-year-old actress has a bunch of projects in her kitty, including Emergency. Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Kangana is not only headlining the upcoming film, but also donning the hat of the director.

Despite a poor performance at the box office, the 2019 Hindi film Sonchiriya has been praised for its powerful storytelling and standout performances. The film stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Bhumi Pednekar, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey, and Ashutosh Rana, all delivering exceptional performances in their roles. Recently, Bhumi shared her thoughts on the film and what were her expectations. Bhumi also stated that the commercial failure of the film “broke” her heart.

During a recent conversation with Rajeev Masand, Bhumi revealed that she is strategic in her choices and seeks to diversify her career by selecting films that fulfil her creative desires while also having commercial appeal. She cited her decision to star in Sonchiriya as an example of this approach, as the film satisfied both criteria. Unfortunately, despite her efforts, the movie failed to attract audiences and was removed from cinemas after only a week.

The young actress asserted, “When I did Sonchiriya, it was off the theatres in six days. It was maybe my first heartbreak because every film of mine was a blockbuster before that. The four films (Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Lust Stories) I did before that, did incredible numbers and travelled really well. I am on an all-time high, and then came Sonchiriya, a film I was so attached to because I gave that film eight months of my life.”

Bhumi expressed her belief that the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer had all the necessary elements to become a major success. However, the film was taken down from theatres after only six days, which “really broke her heart”.

Coming to the professional front, the 33-year-old actress is currently making headlines for her latest release, Afwaah. Directed by Sudhir Mishra, it also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sumeet Vyas.

On his association with Reebok, cricketer Suryakumar Yadav said, “I’m excited to partner with Reebok, a brand that resonates with my outlook on sports and fitness. I believe an individual evolves best when faced with challenges. Reebok’s new campaign perfectly depicts my unconventional approach towards the game.

Sharing her excitement about this association with Reebok, actor Taapsee Pannu commented, “It is so exciting to be associated with a brand like Reebok that enables you to push your boundaries, and most importantly, to be yourself. It might be easy to follow the crowd, but it takes an immense amount of courage to pave your own path, and Reebok’s new campaign truly encourages this ideology.

Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan is the hottest topic of discussion in trade circles at this point in time. Every single investigative reporter is on the lookout for updates on Jawan as Shah Rukh Khan fans on social media have been constantly on the lookout for the new date update. The team on Friday morning had locked August 25 as the release date and was set to announce it on Friday evening. But it seems that Shah Rukh Khan has devised an altogether new plan now.

The latest source informs us that Jawan has been delayed further and will now be a mid-September release. According to our source, Shah Rukh Khan has informed Atlee about his decision to bring the film in September 2023, to get a clear run till the release of Salaar.

The change of date was decided on Friday evening in order to maintain a proper gap between Jawan and Animal. "Shah Rukh Khan wants to come in a clear window and not be one of the many in the crowd. He is a lion by heart and wants things to be in his focus. He believes September will do justice to the release of Jawan," the source informed Bollywood Hungama.

Indian pop sensation Armaan Malik and composer-producer OAFF who is known to bridge the gap between mainstream Bollywood and feel-good pop, have collaborated to release their new song titled ‘Tabaahi’. The song has a chill-pop vibe and captures a perfect blend of sound and energy to get fans grooving to its beats. ‘Tabaahi’ is a very intimate yet grand track that holds a certain ‘feel good’ emotion throughout its duration and is certain to become a go-to drive and chill song for listeners.

With an infectious rhythm running through the song, the song brings about a fresh energy as it talks about the ‘sukoon’ (peace) one feels being alone in nature with the person they love and when they aren’t in their company, everything feels like it’s falling apart and it’s absolute ‘tabaahi’ (destruction).

Speaking about the song, Armaan says, “Collaborating with OAFF was an unexpected yet beautiful experience. ‘Tabaahi’ brought out a different side to my musicality which I had never known or accessed before. That’s the beauty of collaborations, they always bring a new colour of both artists to the fore. We hope that this song of ours becomes a part of your playlist and makes you feel all the emotions we felt while making it.”

Sharing his thoughts on the release, OAFF says, “The song is about two people coming together. There is a line in there that is ‘Thoda thoda sa main hu, thoda thoda sa tu bhi hain’ which captures the spirit of the collaboration. It really was a coming together of two different artists and creating something new. I was often pleasantly surprised during the making of the song about how in sync Armaan and I were, even though we had never met before.”

Now that Sooraj Pancholi is finally a free man, where does he go from here? Would the film industry come forward to finally give Sooraj the break he deserves? There is a strong positive buzz on Sooraj’s comeback. The judicial clean chit has cleared the air regarding his future. Several producers are now looking at signing Sooraj for their projects.

A prominent filmmaker said, “There is the fear that Sooraj’s career might be a casualty of the hate campaign similar to the one carried out against Rhea Chakraborty after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. But the industry by and large believes Sooraj to be innocent. They will come forward with offers once the dust settles down.”

At the moment, Sooraj wants to take a break from the public gaze to be with his family. Mother Zarina Wahab said, “The enormity of the verdict (the acquittal) will take a long time to sink in. Right now, we are just enjoying the feeling of being a normal family, not thinking about the future.”

Sooraj Pancholi made his acting debut with Hero in 2015, which was produced by Salman Khan. It was also the debut for Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty. He was next seen in Satellite Shankar (2019). His last film was Time To Dance (2021).

There is no turning back once you begin to adore a black dress. They are fashionable, comfortable, and suitable for practically every situation. Black dresses make sure your clothing is comfortable yet stylish at the same time, whether you're going out with friends or trying to make a statement. Black dresses are a classic and adaptable wardrobe essential that go with many different situations and events. There are many different designs of black dresses to pick from, from traditional small black dresses to fashionable black maxi dresses. Today's topic of discussion is Nushhratt Bharuccha's black sexy dress.

Karl Lagerfeld once said, “no one is underdressed or over dressed with a little black dress” Proving the worth of black ensembles on the red carpet, yet again, is Nushrratt Bharuccha. Her sleeveless fit, which Nachiket Barve created, had all the necessary components to make it a complete party stealer. The dress had a provocative thigh-high slit, a deep plunging neckline, and a halter neck with silver floral embellishments. She removed all of her other jewellery save for her diamond ring and opted to wear the trendy diamond ear cuffs. The actress's outfit caught our eye, not the stylish bun on her hair. Nushrrat used sparkly pink makeup, smeared kohl, and mascara-coated eyelashes for the glossy look. She also had perfectly arched eyebrows, flushed cheeks, and delicate pink lips.

Veteran actor Dalip Tahhil is known to be the only actor to play India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru thrice in, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), Samvidhan (TV series, 2013) and the Marathi movie Bhaai: Vyati Kee Valli (2019). He is now all set to add another feather to his cap by playing another prominent politician, this time of another country. Tahhil will be playing the former Pakistani President Zulfiqar Bhutto in IB 71.

As per the makers, “Tahhil spent months researching Bhutto's life, mannerisms, and speech patterns to ensure that his portrayal of the character was authentic and nuanced. Tahhil’s casting has also brought to the fore the cultural and historical ties that bind the Sindhi communities on either side of the India-Pakistan border. Tahhil had with himself the opportunity to play such an important character and showcase the cultural similarities between the two countries.”

Directed by Sankalp Reddy, IB 71 is an espionage action-drama centring around the 1971 war between India and Pakistan. The film stars Vidyut Jammwal, Anupam Kher and Vishal Jethwa. This is also the first film for Vidyut as a producer.

Sharing his experience of playing Bhutto, Tahhil said in a statement, “Playing the role of Zulfiqar Bhutto was a challenge that I couldn’t resist. I needed to bring a sense of authenticity and nuance to the character. I spent months researching Bhutto’s life, his mannerisms, and his speech patterns. I hope that my portrayal of the character does justice to his legacy and brings to the fore the cultural similarities that exist between our two countries.”

IB 71 is all set to release in theatres on May 12.

The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan has been in the news for more than a week, due to its unconfirmed release status. Since June 2022, it has been scheduled to release in cinemas on June 2, 2023. However, there has been speculation that it will be pushed. Some days ago, reports claimed that it will now arrive in cinemas on June 29, to take advantage of the Bakri Eid holiday.

Yesterday, it was reported that Jawan, in all probability, will release in August, either on August 11 or August 25. Interestingly, two major films are scheduled already on the 11th – the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal and Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2. Hence, it led to another round of speculations among fans that one of the two films might move or both will make way for Jawan.

Bollywood Hungama has learnt that there is no change in the release dates of both Animal as well as Gadar 2. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “August 11 is a plum date as Independence Day falls on Tuesday, August 15 this year. Both the films had booked the slot a long time back and don’t want to lose out on it.”

An industry insider commented, “August 25 is being considered by Jawan’s team but we have been hearing that they are even looking at August 4. The good news is that the official announcement is expected at any moment. That’ll put an end to all speculations once and for all.”

Another industry expert lamented, “Three big films in a month can be a bit too much for an average moviegoer, especially if the ticket prices will be sky-high. Here’s hoping all films do well.”

Directed by Atlee, Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Sanya Malhotra along with Deepika Padukone in a special appearance. As for Animal, it is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh (2019) fame and also features Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna. Finally, Gadar 2 is the sequel to Gadar (2001), one of the biggest hits in the history of Indian cinema. It brings back the star cast, which featured in the first part, that is, Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma. It is directed by Anil Sharma.

For the event, Prabal Gurung was Alia's choice for the iconic moment on the stairs of the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. Supermodel Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal outfit in served as an inspiration for Alia's appearance. The Prabal Gurung sleeveless dress featured a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and a total of one lakh white pearls. She added shine with pointed pearl and stone earrings and a white glove as accessories. Alia chose a half-up, half-down hairstyle with a centre part and bronze-toned makeup with rosy accents on her cheeks and a nude lip as a finishing touch. Alia nailed the high notes with this one, keeping things understated and safe while yet looking utterly stunning.

“We’ve talked about a Met moment for a long time. I have invited her before, but she’s always been wise enough to say let’s wait. This time, however, she felt it was the right moment, so she said yes, and off we went to our wildest imaginations…,” Prabal Gurung captioned his Instagram post.

He added, "It was my dearest friend Karan Johar’s 40th birthday in Mumbai, where I first met Alia. ⁠I had heard rave reviews about her through him and my brother Pravesh, who was assisting Karan in her debut film. I was immediately taken by her when I met her. A petite ingénue whose simmering fire within her was palpable to all of us. One film after another, she has surpassed anyone’s expectations and thrilled us with her creative genius. She’s a powerhouse performer. To me, she is one of the finest actors we have right now globally, but above all, she’s a friend, a good friend, and a loyal one; that’s what makes her extremely special."

Gurung added, “For me, Chanel couture brides have been the most iconic brides in fashion. So we chose Claudia Schiffer’s 1992 Chanel bridal look as an inspiration.”

Calling Alia Bhatt a “generous, kind soul and heart,” he said, “Alia, forever grateful we will have this for posterity. Thank you for the beautiful memory. Been a fan of your talent for the longest time and of your generous, kind soul and heart; a grateful friend.”

On the professional front, the year 2022 was a landmark year for her with Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and Brahmastra becoming the biggest blockbusters and the acclaimed Darlings, which was her maiden production venture.

Moving forward, Alia Bhatt has an exciting year ahead with the release of Netflix’s Heart of Stone with Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan. She also has Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. ALSO READ: Alia Bhatt ‘thanks’ Vivek Agnihotri after the filmmaker gushes about her MET Gala look

Ever since the announcement the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan directed by Atlee has been making headlines. After capturing the audiences’ interest with its novel casting comprising of Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathy in addition to SRK, the buzz surrounding the film has been gradually building. As the film’s release draws near, a number of reports have surfaced stating that Jawan will not be releasing on its scheduled day and date of June 2. In fact, a number of these reports have claimed that the film will not be complete for its release on that date. Now, Bollywood Hungama has learnt that the film will, in fact, be delayed, and will not hit screens only on June 29 as reported, instead the film will now hot screens on August 25.

In an earlier report, Bollywood Hungama had informed you that the film would most likely be postponed since there has been no intimation from Red Chillies Entertainment as to when the promotions will start. If that was not enough, neither the teaser nor trailer of the film have yet been released which has added fuel to the already raging fire. Now, confirming the same a well placed industry source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Jawan is most definitely not releasing on June 2 or 29. The film will instead be released on August 25”. Explaining why the source continues, “The delay was on the account of VFX. Shah Rukh Khan and Atlee were very clear that they wanted a fine-tuned world-class product for the audience”.

Interestingly, certain reports claim that this postponement in release date was to maximise its business capabilities thanks to the Bakri Eid festivities and an extended four-day weekend. But with the August release these reports have proved to be rather untrue.

Earlier Sooraj had visited the Siddhivinayak temple located in Mumbai after the special CBI court declared him not guilty of the accusations, citing insufficient evidence against him. He had also posted an Instagram story shortly after receiving significant legal relief in the case. Sooraj had taken to his Instagram Stories and had written, “The TRUTH always wins!”

Sooraj Pancholi, who was in a relationship with Jiah Khan when she died, was accused of abetting her commit suicide by Jiah's mother Rabi Khan after a big argument between the two. However, on April 28, the court acquitted the Sooraj of all charges, stating that there was insufficient evidence linking him to the abetment. Sooraj, the son of Zarina and Bollywood actor Aditya Pancholi, made his Bollywood debut in 2015 with the movie Hero, alongside Athiya Shetty. He appeared in court on the same day, accompanied by his mother and actress Zarina Wahab.

Director Sankalp Reddy, who won a National Award for his debut film, The Ghazi Attack, recently shared the challenges he faced in nailing the 1970s look for his upcoming spy thriller, IB 71. The director revealed that it took nearly seven months of trial and error to perfect the retro look for the film, which stars Vidyut Jammwal in the lead role. Set in 1971, the movie is based on true events and revolves around a top-secret mission undertaken by the Indian Intelligence Bureau. The mission involved outsmarting the enemy establishment and providing the Indian armed forces with an edge in the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

Sankalp Reddy, the director of IB 71, recently shared some insights into his process of achieving the perfect 1970s look for the film. IANS quoted him saying, “It was a sincere coordination between the production designer, art department, costume designer, and DOP. It was a 7-month phase of trial and error method.”

He further added, “We procured news articles from libraries in Delhi and Mumbai to flesh out the story. The right look for elements in a film like this is a gamble. You experiment extensively before finding something that fits just right. The colour palette was another area we spent a lot of time on.”

IB 71 is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series Film and Reliance Entertainment. The Action Hero Films production. Produced by Vidyut Jammwal & Abbas Sayyed, co-produced by Aditya Shastri, Aditya Chowksey and Shiv Chanana. The film is directed by national award winner Sankalp Reddy with the story by Aditya Shastri and the screenplay by Storyhouse Films LLP. The film is slated for a theatrical release on May 12, 2023.

Actor-comedian Abhilash Thapliyal has been making waves in the OTT world in recent years. His performance in TVF's web series Aspirants as the character Shwetketu aka SK was highly appreciated by audiences. In fact, post the success of Aspirants, he also led a spin-off series for his character, titled SK Sir Ki Class. Recently, in an interaction with Bollywood Hungama, Abhilash opened up about the same and recalled being sceptical and scared.

Abhilash asserted, “I come from a lower-middle-class family. We have a lot of self-doubt in us. We are not confident, and it was the same with SK Sir Ki Class. When we were shooting for Aspirants, I was very sceptical about my part because a lot of actors in the series were from the TVF universe. They all were known faces.”

The actor-and-comedian further explained, “When I became a part of it, my first thought was negative only. I asked myself what if the audience won’t accept me? We never think otherwise. Given that Aspirants was a hit, I was sceptical. I thought, "What if the audience won’t be able to understand SK Sir’s universe?”

Thapliyal continued, “But I was pleasantly surprised that people started comparing it with Aspirants. They gave us the same love. I was just lucky that my character SK Sir turned out to be the first TVF character to have a spin-off.”

As Abhilash has been featured in a bunch of films as well, we asked him to explain how the process of prep is different for a film and a web show. In his response, he said, “I don’t think there is a process. In fact, I feel if I was doing TV, I would have worked in a similar way. You can’t differentiate the prep for a film and an OTT project. As an actor, you want to tell a story, and do justice to your character, no matter what platform it is being made for. He concluded by saying, “I think it (differentiating between the platform) will corrupt the effort of an actor if they perform while thinking about the platform it will be released on.”

On the professional front, he will be next seen in Kennedy. The Anurag Kashyap directorial will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this year before its release. It stars Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhat in the lead.

The super-success of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan led to jubilation in the industry and trade. It also heightened the buzz for Jawan, SRK’s next release. It is scheduled to release on June 2 and there were expectations that the film’s promotional campaign would begin in the first week of May. Bollywood Hungama even reported about it last week.

However, since then, significant developments have taken place. And it’s now being said that Jawan might not be able to make it on the said date. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The fact that the teaser or trailer of Jawan isn’t out yet and that there has been no intimation from Red Chillies Entertainment as to when the promotions will start have added to the speculation that Jawan is getting postponed.”

Reports are also floating around that Jawan will now release on Thursday, June 29. The source continued, “If it releases on the 29th, it can have a four-day weekend and also get the advantage of the Bakri Eid holiday on its release day. Moreover, Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Yodha and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Dream Girl 2 were slated to arrive in cinemas on July 7. Both got pushed last week. Many believed that these movies were postponed as they don’t want to get in the way of the Jawan wave.”

Interestingly, Satyaprem Ki Katha, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, is scheduled to release in cinemas on June 29. As of now, there has been no confirmation whether this Nadiadwala Grandson production is moving from this date.

An industry insider lamented, “A lot of speculation and confusion are going around in the trade and industry over this aspect. I hope Shah Rukh Khan or Red Chillies Entertainment make some announcement ASAP as to whether Jawan is releasing on June 2 or being postponed.”

Directed by Atlee, Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Sanya Malhotra along with Deepika Padukone in a special appearance.

Mr Patrick Vieira, Cesc Fabregas and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, all my friends in India, you can reach your heart out. Since we are born in India, cricket is like a religion for us, it’s in our blood. But, after cricket, if there is anything else, it is football. Football is huge in India.”

Ranveer added, “The English Premier League came (in India) at the turn of the century, around the year 2000. A whole generation got hooked on this high-quality football. It was around then when I was watching the Invincibles play football. And that’s what made me fall in love with the sport and Arsenal.”

“When I first saw Patrick Vieira, it was down this tunnel, right here (at the Emirates Stadium). I was with my best friend, who is also an Arsenal fan for 22 years, and we were like schoolgirls. And six years ago, I met my hero, Thierry Henry, now I feel so honoured to be standing beside these esteemed gentlemen,” the actor said.

Zarina Wahab is the most relieved and thankful mother in the universe right now. Her son Sooraj was acquitted on April 28 of all charges of abetment related to the tragic death of actress Jiah Khan almost ten years ago.

“The smile is back on my son’s face. We feel like a normal family again. Otherwise for ten years we suffered all the lies in the belief that justice will finally prevail, and it did! But what about all those mothers whose sons are locked away after a failed relationship? My heart reaches out to them. No mother should suffer the way I have,” says Zarina who now wants to just enjoy the family’s freedom from the threat hovering over Sooraj’s head.

“It is not possible for a family to lead a normal life when their child is an under trial for no fault of his. What wrong did my son do that he had to be punished for ten years? We just want to be left alone now. We want to feel like a normal family after ten years,” Zarina.

A fabulous cook Zarina loves to put together meals for family and guests. She now wants to make her son’s favourite dishes. “He hasn’t eaten properly for ten years. He will now live his life again.”

Arjun says, “Watching Hans Zimmer’s performance live is a dream come true for me. It was emotional, inspiring and incredible. He is one of the most talented human beings to have ever walked on the face of earth and it was an honour to witness his genius at Frankfurt up close and personal. I have always been a huge fan of his music. I mean his body of work is diverse and exceptional.”

He adds, “I have been mesmerised by his brilliance in films like The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Man of Steel, Interstellar among others and I’m glad I got an opportunity to experience his concert.“

Arjun further says, “What makes this trip even more special for me is because this is my first trip with just my dad. We have never travelled together and it was amazing to chill with him and talk to him and enjoy the evening. He is also a fan of Hans Zimmer and thoroughly enjoyed the show. We made a plan to make this happen and I’m glad it panned out perfect.”

Arjun Kapoor will be seen exploring versatile roles in his upcoming projects.
