Every Tuesday, Shilpa Shetty Kundra shoots for Super Dancer 4 at Film City, Goregaon. The actor, who is a judge on the dance reality show along with filmmaker Anurag Basu and choreographer Geeta Kapoor, gave the shoot a skip yesterday. As soon as husband Raj Kundra was arrested on Monday in a case related to the alleged making of pornographic films, it was given that she would do a no-show. Karisma Kapoor, who was the celebrity guest, filled in for her. It is learnt that the producers and the channel are giving Shetty time to figure out whether she wants to continue. Earlier this year, when Shetty's family, including Kundra, had contracted the Coronavirus, she had taken a break, and Malaika Arora had replaced her.

Funny, scary and creepy

After the Katrina Kaif, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter-starrer Phone Bhoot and Saif Ali Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Arjun Kapoor's Bhoot Police, one more horror comedy is in the making. Thankfully, it does not have the word bhoot in the title to add to the confusion. On Tuesday, Ronnie Screwvala announced his next production, Kakuda, starring Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem. The film revolves around a ghost questioning superstition and tradition. It will be helmed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who is known for his critically-acclaimed Marathi film Mauli (2018), which featured Deshmukh as actor-producer. Like Bhoot Police, Kakuda will also drop on an OTT platform.

Big B needs some sleep

As soon as he wrapped up a schedule of Vikas Bahl's Goodbye, Amitabh Bachchan began work on the new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B is shooting for the promos of the quiz show. On Tuesday, the veteran superstar shared a picture of him yawning and wrote, "This is what happens when you work round-the-clock." At 78, Bachchan's indefatigable energy serves as an inspiration to actors half his age, but at times even he needs rest. Looks like it was a long, tiring day on the set.

Gogo's back

Shakti Kapoor is reprising his iconic Crime Master Gogo character from Andaz Apna Apna (1994) for a digital project. The veteran actor dropped hints about the Disney+Hotstar show in a video featuring daughter Shraddha Kapoor in which he is seen stealing her nail polish. Karisma Kapoor, who featured in Rajkumar Santoshi's cult film along with Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Raveena Tandon, also shared her excitement. Referring to Gogo as an amusing character, she said, "There's a surprise in store for viewers."

Retelling history

Neena Gupta turns narrator for the web series, Chhatrasal. She will also feature in it while relating the high points of the show about Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and the Bundela warrior king, Chhatrasal. Jitin Gulati essays the titular role in the historical helmed by Anadii Chaturvedi. Ashutosh Rana plays Aurangzeb.

SSR's sister's plea to Wiki

Sushant Singh Rajput's lawyer sister Priyanka Singh has urged Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales to change the cause of the actor's death, which mentions ‘suicide by hanging' on the site. As the CBI probe is still on, she wants it to be replaced with ‘under investigation'.

Not amused

Madhurima Tuli is furious with the Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 team for recreating the ‘frying pan episode' involving ex-boyfriend Vishal Aditya Singh. When Tuli and Singh were part of Bigg Boss 13, she had hit him with a frying pan during a fight. Singh, who is now seen on the Rohit Shetty-hosted adventure show, revisited the incident with one of the contestants. Tuli wonders why the channel repeatedly uses it to entertain viewers. "Please let me move on... do not play with my family's emotions again and again," said Tuli.

Mental turmoil

Kasautii Zindagii Kay actor Sahil Anand, who has been away from the scene, shared an emotional post on Instagram about "your passion becoming your worst nightmare." He talked about mental health and revealed that the last few months have been "tough" on him. Anand, who featured in Karan Johar's Student of the Year (2012), wrote, "I need space. I feel lost and disassociated." Several colleagues asked him to reach out to them.
