Nayanthara hasn’t said yes yet to Atlee’s Shah Rukh Khan starrer

Image
There are reports all across the internet that Tamil superstar Nayanthara is making her Bollywood debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Tamil director Atlee’s first Hindi film. The film is supposedly titled  Sankee (meaning, obnoxious) and it is not a remake of a Tamil film but an original. So far so cool. Now one hears that Nayanthara who is known as Tamil’s cinema only female superstar, would be making her debut with SRK in the Atlee film. Atlee and Nayanthara had collaborated on Bigil  in Tamil in 2018, a football film starring Vijay. However it seems unlikely that she would jump at this opportunity to go pan-India without being sure of her role being substantial. Sources from the Tamil industry call this news “jumping the gun” One of Nayanthara’s directors told me, “She is in no hurry to do a Bollywood film. Of course she will do one. But the role has to justify her presence. She has not said ...

SCOOP: Ahan Shetty to play the lead in Aashiqui 3?

Image
Even without a single release to his credit  Suniel  Shetty’s son  Ahan  is going places. Says a source close to the  Shettys , “Ahan has completed his debut film  Tadap  with producer Sajid Nadiadwala. All the work is done. They are waiting for the theatres to open before announcing the date.” Ahan has now been finalized to play the lead in  Mahesh  Bhatt’s  Aashiqui  3,  the third film in the Bhatts’ super-successful  Aashiqui franchise which will go on the floors next year. “After the full-on action in  Tadap , Ahan wanted to prove himself in an emotional romantic theme. Aashiqui 3  will give him just the vehicle that he needs to prove his versatility,” a source close to the  Shettys  informs me. This source dismisses reports that  Ahan  is doing a film with  Akshay   Kumar . “There is absolutely no truth to this rumour. It is too early for  Ahan  to s...

High Court disposes of Kangana Ranaut’s passport renewal plea as application needs corrections 

Image
The Bombay High Court on June 28 disposed of Kangana Ranaut's plea seeking to renew her passport after authorities told her application needs some corrections. The Passport Authority's counsel also assured that it would decide her application expeditiously. According to Live Law India, "A bench of Justices SS Shinde and Revati Mohite Dere specifically constituted to adjudicate the issue heard Kangana's petition. Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh for the Passport Authority submitted that Kangana's renewal application doesn't mention correct facts. He said only FIRs were pending against the actor, not 'criminal cases,' as wrongly stated by her in her passport application. The ASG further said that the Passport Authority is willing to consider her passport renewal application in accordance with the Passport Act/rules/ procedure, expeditiously, if her advocate was willing to make a statement in the regard."

Race 4 is in works, expected to roll out by end of the year 

Image
It seems like the makers of Race are set to take forward the franchise. After Race 3 underperformed at the box office, it was unclear whether the franchise would get a fourth installment. But, it seems like not only the project is in the works but the makers plan to take it on the floor by end of the year. According to a tabloid, Race 4 is currently in the scripting stage. Shiraz Ahmed has worked on all three installments will be working on the fourth part as well. The report stated that producer Ramesh Taurani will lock in a director soon and the casting will take place only after the script is ready. However, depending on the COVID-19 situation, they will take the call and roll out the project by end of the year. As of now, it is unclear whether Saif Ali Khan, who was the lead in the first two films, will reprise his role in the fourth installment or Salman Khan, who starred in Race 3 , will take this forward. The first two films were directed by Abbas-Mustan, whereas the t...
