No stopping him
Last night, Aanand L Rai was spotted with his arm in a sling. The filmmaker was attending an event in Bandra where he spoke about the making of his last outing, the Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma-starrer Zero. Rai was cheerful despite the discomfort due to the injury.
In other news, Taapsee Pannu was spotted exiting the filmmaker's Andheri office recently. After his last outing, Zero (2018), proved to be a damp squib, the filmmaker is back in the scheme of things and recently announced a new production, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. Is Taapsee in talks for a role? Time will tell.
