Parineeti Chopra recently injured her shoulder while training to play badminton champ Saina Nehwal. She is now recuperating, but will soon get back to the game. I connected with Parineeti and she said, “I’ve injured myself training for badminton. I am resting and recuperating.” In the coming weeks, the practice and rehearsals to play Nehwal are going to be rigorous.
According to sources, there will be no body double to play the game for Parineeti. “Parineeti will do all the badminton scenes herself. No duplicates. Director Amole Gupte wants the game to look authentic. Parineeti must look convincing on the badminton court or the film will fall flat.”
One of the main reasons why Shraddha Kapoor had to bow out was her inability to look authentic like a seasoned badminton player. A source says Parineeti will also observe Saina Nehwal playing in the badminton court, “To get a hang of the game…the whole problem with Shraddha’s presence in the bio-pic was, she didn’t want to devote enough time to prepare to play Saina Nehwal.”
Secretly, sections of the Telugu film industry call it the new-age Mughal-e-Azam. The never-ending shooting of Rajamouli’s latest RRR is turning the film into an impossibly expensive project.
Sources say the producers are at their wit’s end as to how to control the spiraling budget. Sources say both the leading men Ramcharan Teja and NTR Jr have offered to waive a part of their fee to economize the film’s out-of-control budget.
Says a source, “The two leading men are willing to take a cut. Ajay Devgn is not charging any money. And Alia Bhatt may also do her work for a token fee. Everybody is co-operating."
Now if only RRR makes it finally on Sankranti 2020.

A clash of two films on a festival or part-festival seems passé. Bollywood is gearing up now for a three-way clash. We saw a hint of it last year during Diwali when the biggie Housefull 4 clashed with two small films, Made In China and Saand Ki Aankh. This year, trade and industry is already dreading the epic clash that is scheduled to take place on Eid 2021. On May 22 this year, three films are planning to arrive on the same day – Salman Khan-actioner Radhe, Akshay Kumar’s comedy Laxmmi Bomb and the much-loved Hollywood franchise Fast & Furious 9.
And now it has come to light that another such clash will happen next year as well. Ajay Devgn today announced via Twitter that he has signed the official remake of the super-hit Tamil film Kaithi. It’ll be a joint co-production of Reliance Entertainment, Ajay’s Ajay Devgn Ffilms and Dream Warrior Pictures. The latter were also involved as the producers of the original film. Kaithi released last year and starred Karthi, Narain and Ramana. It is about a man, just released from prison, and who gets involved in the madness involving cops, criminals while trying to meet his daughter. It was a 2019 Diwali release and was a super-success.
Ajay Devgn also made it clear that this film will be out on February 12, 2021. Incidentally, this is the Valentine’s Day weekend, when two more films have already booked their spot. The first one to do so was Shakun Batra’s untitled next, produced by Karan Johar. It stars Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday in leading roles. Some time back, producer-director Aanand L Rai also revealed that he plans to bring his next film, Atrangi Re, on this date. The film has an enviable star cast comprising of Akshay Kumar, Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan.
Trade and exhibitors have always spoken sharply against such clashes, especially when films of same stature come on the same day. It remains to be seen if this epic clash indeed takes place on the festival of love in 2021!
After much speculation about who will lead the Hindi remake of the Tamil blockbuster Kaithi, it has finally been announced that Ajay Devgn will headline this upcoming film! Taking to Twitter on Friday morning, Ajay revealed that the film will release on February 12, 2021. He wrote, “Yes, I’m doing the Hindi remake of the Tamil film Kaithi. Releases on February 12, 2021.” The remake will be produced by SR Prakashbabu and Reliance Entertainment.
Produced by Ajay Devgn Ffilms (ADF), Reliance Entertainment and Dream Warrior Pictures, the film is set to release on 12th February 2021.

Earlier, S.R. Prabhu of Dream Warrior Pictures said, “Kaithi is a film with No Heroine, No Songs and a 100% Action Genre. Released with all these odds on the Diwali festival day, Kaithi came out as a box office blockbuster among the family audience in the South. We’re delighted to join hands with Reliance Entertainment for the Bollywood remake. This high-octane film will surely entertain the audience pan India.”
Kaithi released in 2019 which was an action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film was headlined by Karthi alongside Narain and Dheena. It is produced by S. R. Prakashbabu and S. R. Prabhu under the banner Dream Warrior Pictures and co-produced by Tiruppur Vivek under the banner Vivekananda Pictures.
Ever since his debut with Heropanti in 2014, Tiger Shroff has become this generation's action star. Having seen ups and downs in his career, the actor excels in the action genre. With Baaghi franchise, Tiger easily became a fan favourite. Bollywood Hungama was first to inform recently that Tiger Shroff will be starring the sequel of Heropanti.
Today, Tiger Shroff confirmed that he is indeed collaborating with Baaghi 2 and Baaghi 3 director Ahmed Khan for Heropanti 2. While he didn't dive into details of it, he did say he is reuniting with his mentor Sajid Nadiadwala.
Bollywood Hungama reported earlier, "Given that the first film featured some high octane stunts, be rest assured the second will take things to the next level.”
Meanwhile, Siddharth Anand's Rambo is also in works. While the announcement was made a while ago, Tiger Shroff said that it might go on floor by year-end.
Tiger Shroff is currently promoting Baaghi 3 starring alongside Shraddha Kapoor. The film is releasing on March 6, 2020.
Bollywood actors Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha, who’ve starred in Fukrey, are engaged. After years of dating, the couple is finally ready to tie the knot. Ali proposed to Richa back when they were on vacation in the Maldives and her answer was an instant “yes”. The actors are currently working round the clock to plan their wedding. They are looking at April dates for their marriage.
The wedding will reportedly take place in Delhi in the presence of their families and friends. The festivities will go on for two days. Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal also plan to host a party in Mumbai for industry friends. The couple might get hitched in the third week of April.
Back in 2012, Ali Fazal and Richa met for the first time on the sets of Fukrey. They started dating in 2015. It was only in 2017 when they made their relationship public. Since then, they have been quite open about it on their social media.
Superstar Salman Khan is busy with the shooting schedule of his upcoming Eid release, Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai. The actor is reuniting with Prabhu Dheva for the third time post Wanted, and Dabangg 3. If the reports are anything to go by, Salman Khan will reportedly unveil the teaser of the film soon.
Salman Khan had a discussion with Prabhu Dheva and reportedly decided that he will release the first teaser of Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai during Holi. This way, the eager fans will have something to look forward to. It will create a huge buzz for the upcoming action film. While the cast is currently on the last leg of shooting, the director is simultaneously working on edits and final touches of the teaser. Salman Khan will have a look next week post the final edit is done and it will be released on the day of Holi.
The film is releasing on May 22 which is Eid. It is also the day another huge star Akshay Kumar will be bringing Laxmmi Bomb on the big screen. So, it seems like, releasing the teaser two months ahead of the film is a big strategy to create a buzz around the film.
Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai stars Disha Patani and Randeep Hooda.
Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is juggling between multiple projects right now. Amid her busy schedule, the actress has given her nod to an upcoming social drama. The actress will reportedly work with Hindi Medium director Saket Chaudhary and producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
Post Hindi Medium, Saket Chaudhary was working on another script that has both humour and message. The story set in the heartland of India. Alia Bhatt liked the script and has given her nod to the project. She will soon sign the contract on the dotted line. Meanwhile, the hunt for leading man is in progress. Once the cast is locked, the makers plan to announce the film.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia Bhatt has two releases this year - Gangubai Kathiawadi and Brahmastra. Next year, she'll star in RRR and Takht.
Zoya Akhtar has had quite the year in 2018 where she did three projects including Lust Stories, Gully Boy, and Made In Heaven. Her recent horror anthology, Ghost Stories, was also quite talked about with mixed reviews. When asked about why she has not been making any films lately, she says she’s in no hurry to make films and will work on one when she feels like she has a story to tell. She usually does multiple projects back-to-back or takes her own time to find the perfect story to tell.
She also revealed that the gangster genre is one of her favourites but she enjoys movies of all genres. She fees that the filmmakers also are a part of the audience. She says that if she doesn’t find a good script, she’s happy to kick back, but if she wants to do a film based on travel and music, she will happily do it if it excites her. When asked about any future collaboration with her brother Farhan Akhtar, she said that they are dying to do a gangster film and are looking for a good script.
Well, we can’t wait to see what next they come up with.

John Abraham’s projects have always been to either acknowledge the heroes of the society or to tell an untold story. The actor seems to take a keen interest in making society a better place which should be the priority for most of us. While he’s working on three projects, his next production venture will be based on the life of a social entrepreneur, Revathi Roy. For those unaware, Revathi Roy is the first woman to have ever started an all-female taxi service and the first all-woman last-mile delivery services.
Breaking stereotypes, Revathi has worked for the betterment of the underprivileged women for quite a long time. John Abraham’s JA Entertainment along with Robbie Grewal’s Red Ice Films and Anil Bohra’s Vyka Entertainment have joined hands together for this project based on the book, Who Is Revathi Roy, written by Swathi Lodha. When asked about the project, John said that he is very happy to be a part of this project. He explained that Revathi’s story is the perfect combination of entrepreneurial twists and dramatic personal life.
He further spoke about how Revathi has spent a lot of time in empowering underprivileged women and helped them become independent. It’s high time that they made this film and John is glad to be working with Robbie for the film. While the film is still in the pre-production stage, Revathi Roy said that it is not just her story that they are telling, but also of all the women who were given a chance.
Apart from this, John Abraham will next be seen in Attack, Mumbai Saga, and Satyameva Jayate 2.
