Have you heard? Superstar wanted

Salman Khan, Atlee and Allu Arjun

News is that Atlee has decided to move on after his plans to collaborate with Allu Arjun for his next didn’t materialise. Rumours are rife that the filmmaker has now approached Salman Khan with the same subject. Discussions are still in the initial stages, and Atlee is planning to roll the movie in the first half of 2025. However, it also remains to be seen if the superstar-producer will be okay with the director’s remuneration, which has been hiked after the stupendous success of his last, Jawan (2023), with Shah Rukh Khan. Recent reports indicate that Atlee’s film with Allu Arjun fell through as the producers found the director’s asking fee of R80 crore unviable. Interestingly, sources close to the filmmaker have attributed the failed talks to creative differences with the Pushpa 2: The Rule actor and there’s no bitterness between them. Nonetheless, we think it’s not a bad idea to follow up an SRK film with a Salman-starrer, no?


On a song


On a song


With the release of Devara: Part 1 advanced from October 10 to September 27, director Koratala Siva and his team have no time to waste and ensure they meet the early deadline. We hear that lead actors NTR Junior and Janhvi Kapoor will soon head to Thailand to shoot a song. The makers have finalised some picturesque locations in the nearby islands for the romantic number featuring the lead pair. Recently, NTR Jr was spotted returning from Goa after an action-packed schedule. He shot several high-octane sequences with Ali Khan, in difficult weather conditions. The second part is expected to go on floors later this year. 

Beware of fakes

Beware of fakes

In these times, where social media plays a significant role in our lives, it’s not surprising to see celebrities becoming targets of fake accounts and misinformation. Of late, Janhvi Kapoor has been the subject of this menace, with multiple accounts springing up in her name on the popular micro-blogging platform, X. What makes matters worse is that some of those fake accounts have also been verified with a blue tick. Addressing the confusion, the actor’s spokesperson maintained, “In the digital world, it is very easy to create an account in anyone’s name. This is to clarify that Janhvi Kapoor has no official account on X. Please refrain from using any information provided by these fake accounts.” 

Celebrations with family 

Celebrations with family 

After her win in the Lok Sabha elections from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, and becoming a parliamentarian, Kangana Ranaut has been juggling her new responsibilities while spending time with her family. The actor-politician attended cousin Varun’s wedding recently. She also gifted the newly-weds a swanky home in Chandigarh. Varun expressed his gratitude with a social media post. Alongside pictures of their new home, he wrote, “Thank you, Kangana didi... Chandigarh is home now.” Resharing his post, the actor wrote, “Guru Nanak Dev ji said whatever little we have, we must share. He said we always feel we don’t have enough, yet we must share and I feel there is no bigger joy than that. Thank you for always sharing everything of yours with me as well.” 

Ready for a royal spell

The makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 had taken a shooting break for lead actor Kartik Aaryan to promote his latest, Chandu Champion. We hear director Anees Bazmee will resume shoot in the coming days. This time around, they will head to Madhya Pradesh (MP), to shoot in the regal settings of the Orchha palace, and havelis. Leading lady Triptii Dimri, who made the most of the break by travelling, will also join Kartik during the shoot. Bazmee is expected to complete the MP outdoor schedule around July-end. Apparently, they have one more schedule before they can call it a wrap on the horror comedy. 

Ranveer is adding kilos

It appears that Ranveer Singh isn’t deterred that his period action film with Hanu-Man director Prasanth Varma was shelved. The actor has begun prep for his next, details of which are being closely guarded. Ranveer, who is known to prep intensely for his roles, is reportedly bulking up for his next. We have writer Shobhaa De to thank for this news. Alongside a picture from the unexpected encounter with the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023) actor, she wrote, “Selfie king Ranveer Singh enjoying much needed ‘me time’ before he takes up daddy duties....and starts his next film. Oh....the fries were mine. But he said he is focusing on carbs himself. He needs to be 15 kg heavier for his latest project. Charming, natural and unfailingly polite as always (sic).” Ranveer and Deepika Padukone are set to welcome their first child soon. 

Alka battling health hazard

Alka battling health hazard

Veteran singer Alka Yagnik is battling a rare hearing disorder. Recalling the alarming incident that led to the diagnosis, she shared, “A few weeks ago, as I walked out of a flight, I suddenly felt that I was not able to hear anything.” Having mustered courage to break her silence, she added, “It has been diagnosed by my doctors as a rare sensory neural nerve hearing loss, due to a viral attack.” Admitting that this sudden setback has caught her completely unaware, she concluded her social media post, saying, “For my fans and young colleagues, I would add a word of caution regarding exposure to loud music and headphones. One day, I wish to share the health perils of my professional life. With all your love and support. I hope to recalibrate my life and come back to you soon.”
