New baddie in cop universe


Even though Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again with Ajay Devgn is yet to go on floors next month, the action drama continues to make news. The third instalment of the cop drama not only sees Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh reprise their roles as Sooryavanshi and Simmba, but also sees the entry of Deepika Padukone as ‘Lady Singham’, the first police woman of the filmmaker’s cop universe on the big screen. Now, rumours are rife that Arjun Kapoor is the newest member of this cop universe. Interestingly, he won’t be donning the khaki uniform. Instead, he will give the four super cops sleepless nights as he is said to be playing the antagonist. Arjun has reportedly begun his prep for Singham Again. The action drama also features Kareena Kapoor Khan as the protagonist Bajirao Singham’s leading lady. Rohit is known to be particular about his cast and is going all out to make Singham Again the biggest film, be it in terms of star cast and content or high-octane action and great production values.


Question time for Govinda


Question time for Govinda

Govinda will be questioned by the Odisha Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in connection with a Rs 1000 crore ponzi scam. The actor had reportedly endorsed Solar Techno Alliance’s (STA-Token) operations in promotional videos and also attended an event in July. EOW Inspector General JN Pankaj has said, “We will soon send a team to Mumbai to question film star Govinda who had attended STA’s grand function in Goa in July and promoted the company in some videos.” He added, “If we find that his role was limited to only endorsement of the product, as per their business agreement, then we will make him a witness in our case.” The Odisha EOW has also said that STA-Token, which had an online presence in several countries, was allegedly illegally operating a pyramid-structured online ponzi scheme under the guise of crypto investment.

Buzz is that producer Firoz Nadiadwallah is looking to resolve past monetary issues at the earliest. According to a source, “After considerable time, Firoz has been able to not only sort out differences with Akshay Kumar, but also get him on board for two films, Welcome to the Jungle and Hera Pheri 3. Akshay is aware that Firoz has been going through a rough phase in recent years.” Our source adds, “Having been friends, the actor played a crucial role in helping the producer get a studio backing for both the movies.
