Have you heard? Emraan Hashmi's Turkish drama

Emraan Hashmi

Turkish drama

On Thursday, Emraan Hashmi shared a click from Mumbai airport and wrote, "Catching a red-eye flight to...." Though he did not disclose the destination, he posted an emoji of the Turkish flag. "Yay... that means you are indeed a part of Tiger 3," a social media user commented. The Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer is being filmed in Istanbul. Though Yash Raj Films have not officially announced Hashmi's presence in the action thriller, there has been widespread chatter about him playing the antagonist, especially after he began working out with fitness expert Miihier Singh. During the media interactions for his recent release, Chehre, Hashmi preferred to be in denial mode about being part of Tiger 3. Guess then Hashmi is travelling to check out the Turkish hammams, buy some traditional Iznik pottery and savour the baklava.

Alarm bells

Bhumi Pednekar is worried about the extreme weather conditions across the globe in recent times. Heat waves and storms are likely to become more intense with human-induced climate change. The environment enthusiast says, "Things will only deteriorate further in the coming years. Researchers are telling us, so it's no longer an assumption." The actor wants people to be aware that a climate crisis is looming large. "We are nowhere close to what we all should be doing to protect the environment," she says. Pednekar, who spearheads the social media initiative, Climate Warrior, aims at raising awareness towards protecting nature. She is taking no days off to highlight the cause.
