Vijay Sethupathi and Hrithik Roshan


On Monday, Hrithik Roshan could not have asked for a better way to celebrate his 48th birthday. As he provided the first glimpse of his look in Vikram Vedha, overjoyed fans felt he had nailed the gangster look just as he had done in Agneepath (2012). They termed it "as his most badass role ever" and wondered "how the anti-hero could look so hot with blood and sweat". Roshan reprises Vijay Sethupathi's role in the remake of Pushkar-Gayathri's 2017 Tamil film. The duo wield the directorial baton for the Hindi version as well, starring Saif Ali Khan as the cop Vikram. Madhavan, who played Vikram in the original, was also in awe of Roshan's look. "Now that's a Vedha I do want to see…. wow bro... this is epic," posted Madhavan.

Extended time

The Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 15 appears to be in no hurry to wrap up. The reality show's final episode was to air on January 16, but now the makers have pushed it to the month-end. There is chatter that the show might get extended to February due to the prevailing situation. The buzz is that the channel feels it is a risk to launch a new show as they fear restrictions on shootings due to the rising virus cases. As the Bigg Boss contestants are in a bio-bubble, it can safely run for some more time. Tejasswi Prakash, Karan Kundrra, Rakhi Sawant and Shamita Shetty are among the finalists.

Beefing up

Arjun Mathur has never shied away from taking on unusual characters. He played a gay wedding planner in Made In Heaven and an underwear salesperson in Brij Mohan Amar Rahe. The actor is now flouting sculpted muscles, and the buzz is that he is undergoing an intense workout regime for an upcoming project. Word is that Mathur ventures into a new cinematic space with his next. He prefers to keep mum for now.

Diving in

Ranveer Singh seeks inspiration from Hollywood star Daniel Day-Lewis who transforms himself in every film that he chooses to do. Day-Lewis has bagged three Oscar awards - for Lincoln (2012), There Will Be Blood (2008) and My Left Foot (1990). Singh says, "I endeavour to create characters that are distinct from each other. I am fascinated by actors who can be shape-shifters and chameleons like Daniel Day-Lewis," says Singh, who played Kapil Dev in his recent release, 83. "It's these daunting challenges that excite me, and I embrace them fully," adds Singh.

Round of applause

Karan Johar finally got an opportunity to watch the Malayalam film, Minnal Murali, starring Tovino Thomas. Like several others, KJo was impressed by the superhero flick. The filmmaker sent a message to Tovino, which read, "What a clutter-breaker film. You were incredible. Congratulations." Thomas has reportedly evinced interest in Bollywood. He was offered Naga Chaitanya's role in Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha but had to turn it down as he was busy with Minnal Murali. It won't be a big surprise if KJo has something lined up for the Malayalam actor.

Facing the heat

South actor Siddharth's tweet criticising Saina Nehwal has sparked an outrage. After the badminton champ posted about the security threat to Narendra Modi in Punjab, the Rang De Basanti (2006) actor reacted to her post by calling her "Subtle cock champion of the world. Thank God we have protectors of India (sic)." The National Commission For Women has termed his comment "misogynistic" and "outraging the modesty of a woman." After the backlash, Siddharth posted, "Cock and bull. That's the reference. Nothing disrespectful was intended or said."

Caramel wave

Over a week into 2022, Priyanka Chopra Jonas decided she needed a new look for the New Year. In an Instagram video, she flaunted her makeover by playing Ariana Grande's song, My hair. PeeCee has styled her tresses in some enormous waves and golden caramel highlights. PeeCee loves to experiment with her locks, so expect another makeover soon.

Mask unmask

Bhumi Pednekar is posting about the need to stay safe and follow safety precautions amid the third wave. "Second Monday of 2022. Agar baaki ke Mondays different chahiye, then mask pehno," she wrote. Her messages are accompanied by glamorous unmasked photographs. Netizens are wondering if she is raising the hotness quotient or increasing safety awareness.

Winter fun

After the release of Jersey was postponed due to the rising virus case and cinema halls shutting down or running to half-capacity in various parts of the country, Shahid Kapoor winged his way to Punjab. Sasha loves winters and posted that he is all geared up in woollens and jackets to tackle the "Punjab di thand." The actor and wife Mira and kids, Misha and Zain, often take off for Punjab and Himachal Pradesh to spend quality time. Sasha recently opted for a clean-shaven look, but it looks like his facial fuzz will soon make a comeback.
