Have you heard? Rajasthan administration officials review prep for Vicky Kaushal-Katrina Kaif's wedding?

Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif

On Friday, administration officials in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur district held a meeting to review the preparations ahead of Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif's wedding celebrations at the Six Senses Fort Barwara. The law and order arrangements were discussed due to the celebrity guests. The wedding organisers were also present. "The meeting aimed for smooth functioning of traffic and transport," said Rajendra Kishan, Sawai Madhopur district collector. He added, "Directions have been given that guests should be fully vaccinated. An RT-PCR test is compulsory for those who have not taken both doses. We have been informed that there will be 120 guests from December 7 to 10." Though the star couple continues to be tight-lipped, it is now clear that the rumoured wedding is indeed happening.

Pre-wedding festivities begin

Ankita Lokhande and entrepreneur beau Vicky Jain's pre-wedding celebrations have begun. The couple shared glimpses of the Maharashtrian rituals conducted at the actor's Goregaon home. "Sacred," wrote the Pavitra Rishta star. "Mee amchyavar prem karto but picture abhi baaki hai mere dost," posted Jain. Their wedding festivities unfold from December 12 to 14 in the city. The two have been up and about personally inviting their near and dear ones for their big day. Lokhande and Jain met through common pals in 2018 and their friendship soon blossomed into love. Initially, they preferred to keep their relationship under wraps.

All hands and hearts

Vidyut Jammwal is hanging out with fiancée Nandita Mahtani's girl gang. The designer's buddy Bhavana Pandey shared their picture along with Dolly Sidhwani, wife of producer Ritesh Sidhwani, and wrote, "Till you get the heart right." The martial arts enthusiast would prefer to display his moves than hand hearts.

Island getaway

Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora are in the Maldives and sharing vacation snapshots on their respective Instagram handles. From what they are gorging on, to the picturesque beaches and their boat ride in the high seas, the couple is posting their solo pictures from the same location. Why be coy while holidaying?

On his own

Newcomer Zohaeb Farooqui will be seen in Neerraj Pathak's web series, Inspector Avinash, starring Randeep Hooda. Though he has a B-Town connection, his folks are keen that he make it on his own. His dad Raju Farooqui is a producer and brother of Rehana, Subhash Ghai's wife. Zohaeb has done an acting course from Whistling Woods International and worked as an AD on Rohit Shetty's Bol Bachchan (2012).

Two shows, same subject

Aditya Chopra may have announced his OTT debut with The Railway Men, a show based on the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy. But Emmy award-winning Delhi Crime creator Richie Mehta is also making a digital series based on the industrial disaster. The project, announced in July this year, is backed by Ronnie Screwvala and Ramesh Krishnamoorthy. Mehta is on board as writer, director and showrunner.

In waiting

The biopic on world chess grandmaster Viswanathan Anand is not happening anytime soon. Aanand L Rai's directorial venture was announced last year. It is still in the scripting stage and the filmmaker feels the ambitious project will take a while. In 2017, a biopic on Olympic gold winner Abhinav Bindra starring Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor was announced, which has yet to see the light of day.

Special box

Producer Manish Goswami was buddy Sunil Gavaskar's special guest at the Sunil Gavaskar Box at the Wankhede Stadium on day one of the India versus New Zealand Test match. "I feel humbled that I was among his close pals to be present," says Goswami.

Hollywood calling again

After Furious 7 (2015), Victoria and Abdul (2017) and the upcoming Death on the Nile, Ali Fazal has boarded the cast of Gerard Butler-starrer Kandahar. The action-thriller, helmed by Ric Roman Waugh, is based on writer and former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune's experiences in Afghanistan. Iranian actor Navid Negahban also features in the film, which begins its first schedule in Saudi Arabia.
