Have you heard? Darlings once more?

Alia Bhatt and Jasmeet K Reen

Alia Bhatt looks set to continue her winning streak. Currently enjoying praise for her performance in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, the actor has a hat-trick of intense subjects lined up next. Come September, she begins filming Vasan Bala’s yet-untitled prison-break thriller. After wrapping it up, she will move on to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra with Ranveer Singh. The magnum opus will be followed by an action thriller for YRF Spy Universe. News is that Darlings director Jasmeet K Reen has discussed a subject with Alia. The actor, who also produced the film with Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, has reportedly liked the idea. Jasmeet is still working on the script and will narrate it to Alia after finalising the screenplay. It remains to be seen whether Alia will headline and produce Darlings director’s next venture.


Chop chop goes the Censor


Akshay Kumar


Reports are rife that OMG: Oh My God 2 is Akshay Kumar’s first film in about 12 years to get cleared with an A-rating from the Central Board of Film Certification. Moreover, the Board recommended 27 alterations, which the producers complied with before getting the certificate on Monday. Apparently, the biggest change is that Akshay, who was playing Lord Shiva in the narrative, will now be shown as the Messenger of God. Among others, the dialogue ‘Vahaan madira chade hai’ was modified and the reference to alcohol was removed. In another significant scene, references to Shivling, Shri Bhagavad Gita, Upanishad, Atharvaved, Draupadi, the Pandavas, Krishna, Gopiyaan and Raasleela in a dialogue were also deleted.

Daler Mehndi and Mika Singh are said to be the new members of the Welcome 3 cast. The singer siblings were surprised when approached to play actors in the comedy fronted by Akshay Kumar. But after hearing about the characters and their significance to the narrative, the singers gave their nod. Interestingly, Welcome 3 will mark Daler’s acting debut, while Mika has previously acted in several films like Mitti (2010), Loot (2011) and Balwinder Singh Famous Ho Gaya (2014).

Nora records her statement

Nora records her statement

Earlier this week, Nora Fatehi recorded her statement in a Delhi court further to the defamation case she has filed against Jacqueliene Fernandez and various media organisations. Alleging that Jackie made defamatory accusations against her for malicious reasons to destroy her career in the R200 crore extortion case, Nora stated, “The reason why I’m filing this case is that the ongoing ED [Enforcement Directorate] case involving con artist Sukesh [Chandrashekhar], with which I have nothing to do, neither do I know these people. I have been made a scapegoat in this case in the media, to safeguard certain people’s image, because I am an outsider and I’m alone in this country.” She also sought compensation for the damage done to her career and reputation by Jackie’s accusations.

After playing intense roles in films like KGF: Chapter 2, and the upcoming Leo, Sanjay Dutt seems to be in the mood to take it easy. The actor, who has reportedly given his nod to Welcome 3, is now said to be teaming up with Dream Girl 2 director Raaj Shandilyaa for his next. We hear Sanju was so blown away by the narration of Raaj’s family comedy that he immediately agreed to be a part of the yet-untitled film. The director plans to take the movie on floors by early next year. Sources claim the Sanju’s one-liners will be the highlight of the family comedy.
