Have you heard? Salman’s cameo for Sunny 

Salman Khan and Sunny Deol

For a while now, there has been talk of Salman Khan reuniting with Sunny Deol on screen. Now, we hear that the Tiger 3 star will shoot with Paaji later this week. Salman reportedly has a cameo in Sunny's next, Safar, for which the two actors are expected to film their scenes together this Friday and Saturday at Mehboob Studios in Bandra. Salman will be playing himself in the Vishal Rana production venture. The last time the two were seen on screen together was Jeet, over 27 years ago. While Salman shares a close bond with the Deol brothers, Sunny and Bobby, he is particularly fond of their father, Dharmendra.

Cut the climax

This Friday sees a slew of releases, from Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi's Merry Christmas and Sivakarthikeyan and Rakul Preet Singh's Ayalaan, to Dhanush's Captain Miller. Recently, director Arun Matheswaran revealed that he had to cut four minutes from the climax of his action drama with Dhanush for a U/A rating instead of the A rating they had first got from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Conceding that as a creator, he would have preferred the original version, he reportedly shared that clashing with a universally appealing movie like Ayalaan added to the tension as they would lose a sizeable chunk of the family audience. While expressing disappointment, Arun maintained that the edited climax would not hamper the storytelling.

For fans' sake

KGF actor Yash's 38th birthday on Monday took a somber turn after three of his fans got electrocuted while putting up banners for his special day. Shocked by the turn of events, the actor asserted that this is not the way to show fandom. "Tragic incidents like these make me fear my own birthday. If you wish me wholeheartedly from wherever you are, that is the best gesture for me," he told his followers. Urging fans to give utmost importance to their own safety and well-being, he suggested they shouldn't hang banners, chase on bikes and take dangerous selfies. He added, "If you respect me, then be responsible first. Parents are waiting for you at home." Yash also visited the families of the deceased and assured them of financial assistance and support during this unfortunate and difficult time.

Remixing noteworthy tunes

Vidyut Jammwal is leaving no stone unturned in making his next production venture, Crakk, a complete entertainer for cinegoers. That's why the actor-producer has taken equal interest in the soundtrack of film that stars Arjun Rampal, Nora Fatehi and Jacqueliene Fernandez. The film features Tanishk Bagchi's remixed version of Ali Zafar's hit song, Jhoom, with Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Mishra lending the vocals. The track was announced through a social media interaction between the singers and composers. Expressing her admiration for the Pakistani actor-singer, Shreya tweeted, "I've always been a big fan of Ali Zafar and the beautiful song, Jhoom. It's close to my heart… and I can't wait for you all to listen to it once again as a part of the film Crakk." Sharing the enthusiasm, Vishal added, "Singing it with my favourite Shreya Ghoshal was such an experience." Pleased with the update, Ali shared their post, saying, "Shine on. Love. Always."

Tanuj reunites with Sunny Leone

Seven years after their romantic drama film, One Night Stand, Tanuj Virwani is set to team up with Sunny Leone again. This time around for MTV Splitsvilla X5. Calling the reality show the next big jump in his journey, Tanuj says, "Reuniting with Sunny Leone on screen brings back a special chemistry that I am excited to infuse into the Splitsvilla house." Looking forward to the new season that promises an irresistible blend of love and drama, the actor adds, "I can't wait for audience to witness a side of me they haven't seen before." Tanuj was last seen as Major Bhau in the web series Cartel, while Sunny earned acclaim for Kennedy.

An action thriller for Raj next

Last November, Raj Kundra made his big-screen debut with UT 69. The realistic drama revolved around the two-plus months he had to spend in Arthur Road Jail for his infamous case. Now, the businessman-actor is said to have finalised his next movie. Raj is apparently teaming up with a known director and a seasoned producer for his new film. Interestingly, the yet-untitled project is an action thriller, slated to go on floors in Mumbai this April. Meanwhile, Raj will undergo intense training to transform into the character as he will also perform some adrenaline-fueled stunts in the film. An interesting ensemble of actors is being onboarded. They, too, will be required to prep for their respective roles as we hear that the director wants everything to be perfect when the cameras roll.

SRK, Vishal talking collab

Even as Shah Rukh Khan is slated to begin his new film co-starring daughter Suhana, with Sujoy Ghosh at the helm, this summer, there is plenty of speculation about his next. Recent reports claim that over a decade after Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel, 2 States with SRK didn't materialise, the two are set to finally team up for a film. Apparently, SRK's plan is to surprise his audiences, and that's where the filmmaker's thriller fits into his scheme of things. The superstar has reportedly liked the subject and discussions are underway on how the actor-director duo can best realise this project.
