Actors from the South aren't known to step out to promote their films, and Prabhas is no different. However, the actor is making an exception for Radhe Shyam, which releases on March 11. We hear Prabhas will be visiting multiple cities, starting with Mumbai, where the second trailer of the film, co-starring Pooja Hegde, will be launched at a mega event on March 2. While Chandigarh, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai are already finalised, he may also visit Kolkata and Lucknow to promote the movie. Interestingly, a trip to Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, is also on the agenda.
The anti-Sikh riots of 1984 continue to intrigue filmmakers. The latest is director Honey Trehan, who has cast Arjun Rampal and Diljit Dosanjh for his yet-untitled film based on a true event from the period. While Diljit plays an activist who fights for the victims, Arjun's character is being closely guarded by the makers. This gritty human story is currently being shot in Amritsar. Incidentally, Diljit previously starred in the Punjabi film, Punjab 1984, based on the same riots.
Salman Khan was in a foul mood when he stepped out of the Mumbai airport after returning from his show in Dubai. So much so that he gave the waiting paparazzi an angry glare before getting into his car and zooming off. Apparently, the actor usually exits from Gate 8, so he doesn't have to walk much to reach his waiting car. But this time, he was made to exit from another gate and it was a long walk to his car. He was reportedly tired from the flight and the airport officials were unable to help him too. Maybe he should remember his song, Just chill, no?
For Anupam Kher, his upcoming release, The Kashmir Files, is not just a film. In fact, the Vivek Agnihotri directorial venture, based on the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits is a cause as the veteran actor himself ibelongs to the community. Incidentally, his character is named Pushkarnath Kher, which was also his father's name. Anupam, who plays grandfather to Darshan Kumar, used to remember his father and family members, to prepare for his character. Given the character he plays in the film, Anupam says, "After every shot, Vivek and I used to hug and cry."
