This will be a one-of-its-kind event and we are really excited.” Talking about the dance sequences in Race 3, Salman Khan told Mumbai Mirror in an interview, “Remo has taken everyone’s dance skills to a higher level. There’s Jacqueline’s pole-dancing and Daisy’s aerial act, which she filmed in Ladakh. While people were fainting due to low air pressure and biting cold, she was performing acrobatics. A lot of hard-work went into this film and I want everyone to benefit from its release. You will be blown away by Jackie and Daisy’s fight scene as well. It’s crisply shot.” The third film in the Race franchise, Race 3 also features Saqib Saleem, Daisy, Anil and Bobby in lead roles.

After teasing fans with a gorgeous photos of Jacqueline Fernandez, Salman Khan revealed Race 3’s second song Selfish.

The romantic number is an important part of the film’s narrative. Talking about the song, director Remo D’Souza told Hindustan Times, “It is my favourite song in the film. Salman wrote the song and titled it ‘Selfish’ and we are really excited to see the reaction to the song. The song comes at an important juncture in the film.” “Salman was highly involved with the music of the film. Besides writing the lyrics, he was also very particular about which song would go at what point in the film. We got some of the best music directors and composers on board and I would like to believe that we have a good album. Every time he listened to the music, he had a lot of valuable feedback to give. We also sat together a couple of times to improvise on some songs,” he added.

All eyes are on the first big, fat Bollywood wedding of the year - Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja's. Here are the live updates from Sonam's aunt's mansion Rockdale, which is the venue for the wedding. Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja are man and wife now!
Congratulations to this fashion-forward couple! Sonam and Anand tied the knot today in a traditional Sikh wedding, with their friends and family in attendance at Kavita Singh's Rockdale mansion in Bandstand, Bandra. Here is the first photo of Sonam and Anand as a married couple!

Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is set for a silver screen comeback after the birth of her son, Taimur, with Veere Di Wedding, has often shattered body stereotypes and she is at it again. In a new still from her upcoming film going viral online, Kareena flaunts her perfect bod in a colourful crop top and a stylish jacket.
Kareena plays the central character in the film -- a woman who is getting married, though she is yet to come to terms with the conditions of commitments and emotional baggage attached with a traditional Indian wedding. She was last seen in R Balki's Ki and Ka opposite Arjun Kapoor and Abhishek Choubey’s Udta Punjab (2016). Kareena claims she liked the film as soon as she read the script.
Talking about getting back to work after pregnancy, she said at the film’s trailer launch, “I’m very lucky to have a husband who is so understanding. It’s Saif Ali Khan who kind of pushed me to hit the gym and work and set an example to a lot of mothers.” Veere Di Wedding also stars Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar, Shikha Talsania and Sumeet Vyas in lead roles.
The film has been shot across Delhi, Mumbai and Phuket. Choreographer Farah Khan has worked on a song for the film that also features Punjabi rapper Badshah. Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, it will hit the screens on June 1.

Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez, the stars of the upcoming actioner ‘Race 3’, packed their bags and headed to hills of Jammu and Kashmir to shoot a sequence for their film. The two stars created quite the fan-frenzy in Sonamarg when they were spotted arriving in off-road vehicles. Sonamarg has been one of the favourite shooting locales for Bollywood filmmakers. Salman is shooting for the second time here, after Kabir Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.
Dressed in winter-wear, Khan was seen driving his vehicle to the set location where he met and greeted a few lucky fans apart from also posing for pictures. Co-star Jacqueline was also seen sporting a beige coat and wearing her hair in loose curls. The pair is expected to complete a two-day shooting schedule before Salman likely heads Ladakh to continue filming. 'Race 3' will also feature Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem and is scheduled to release on Eid, June 15, 2018. Salman Khan on Monday reached the picturesque Sonamarg hill station in Jammu and Kashmir for a two-day shooting schedule of Remo D'Souza's 'Race 3'. He is likely to shoot for the movie in Ladakh after completing the schedule in Sonamarg.
Sonamarg has been one of the most favourite shooting locales for Bollywood and it is hosting Salman for the second time. He spent over a fortnight in Sonamarg last time shooting for Kabir Khan's super-hit movie 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. Raj Kapoor's 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' and Yash Chopra's 'Silsila' are some of the better known Bollywood movies shot in Sonamarg. Besides Salman, 'Race 3' will also feature Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem. Like all Salman blockbusters, 'Race 3' is scheduled to be released coinciding with Eid on June 15. Actor Jacqueline Fernandez, who is starring in a Remo D’Souza film titled ‘Race 3’, took a moment to appreciate the director-choreographer for doing a fantastic job with the film.
‘Race 3’ is a third installment of the popular action-thriller franchise ‘Race’. In a recent media interaction, the ‘Judwaa 2’ spoke about her association with Remo’s movies and more. Jacqueline, who is collaborating with Remo for the second time, said in a statement, "It was an amazing experience. We had gone to some great location and shot some really cool stuff. Remo, I feel is doing a fantastic job. The cast is already excited so we all are having real fun." The actor further added, “I am very excited. We all worked really hard in the film and it's turning out to be amazing.” ‘Race 3’ is produced under Tips Films and also features Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem in pivotal roles.
The film is slated to hit the screens on June 15 and is yet another Salman’s release on Eid. Salman Khan's upcoming film 'Race 3' is one of the most anticipated films of this year. The makers are currently shooting for the last few portions of the film. Recent reports have it that Salman Khan and the 'Race 3' team will reportedly shoot for two to three days in Srinagar. Reports also suggest that the team will shoot for a couple of scenes and a few portions of the 'Allah Duhai Hai' song in Kashmir. Post the Kashmir shoot, they will head to Leh, Ladakh for a song shoot. Salman Khan had last shot in Jammu and Kashmir for 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.

Bollywood actors Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan are leaving no stone unturned to make the trailer launch of their upcoming film, Veere Di Wedding, a grand event. Photographer Manav Mangalani has posted pictures and videos from the event in which Kareena and Sonam can be seen arriving at the event.

The team of Veere Di Wedding started shooting in September, 2017, and toured three cities -- Delhi, Mumbai and Phuket -- to complete the project. Ekta Kapoor, film’s producer, in an earlier interview to ANI, said, “This is definitely going to be a wedding to remember.” Veere Di Wedding will hit the screens on June 1, 2018.

Music composer-singer Yo! Yo! Honey Singh has 'thanked his fans' for making his comeback song Dil Chori from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety an instant hit. Honey Singh, who opened up about battling bipolar disorder and alcoholism, made a comeback with the revamped version of Dil Chori. As soon as the song released, it topped the trends list and went crazy viral. Of the song's success, Honey Singh, 35, in an interview to mid-day, said, "I feel blessed. My fans have been my biggest support. The unconditional bond that we share isn't defined by a timeline. I am thankful to Bhushan Kumar for giving me a chance to contribute to Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety's soundtrack. I love the way it has been shot."

Honey Singh had opened up about his struggle last year and as soon as he recovered, his Punjabi film Zorawar released. However, it failed at the box office. Dil Chori was Honey Singh's first music project after his struggle with bipolar disorder. Of being away work, he told mid-day, "I was never away from work. In fact, as an artiste, the downtime served as a learning experience for me. Over the last couple of years, I have only grown closer to music" and added that he 'missed performing on stage and interacting with the audience.' Apart from Dil Chori, he also sung the song Chhote Chhote Peg from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. The film, starring Kartik Aaryan, Nushrat Bharuch and Sunny Singh earned over Rs. 100 crore at the box office.

Of his future plans and performing on stage, Honey Singh told mid-day, "I am taking life one step at a time. While I have resumed recording in the studio, I will hit the stage soon. Right now, I want to empower myself with more music that I can take to my fans when I go on stage. The world is my oyster. Right now, I am imbibing international tunes. I am creating both, singles and film songs, on a daily basis. Let's see what releases first." Honey Singh, who became successful after songs from films like Cocktail, Khiladi 786 and others 'doesn't fear competition' despite many new Punjabi artistes who have earned a name in the industry. He debuted with Punjabi songs.

Shahid Kapoor just Instagrammed a photo of Misha, lying against a backdrop of hand-drawn balloons, with 'big sister' written in the background Kuchh meetha ho jaye? Because Shahid Kapoor just confirmed Mira Rajput's second pregnancy with an adorable Instagram post featuring Misha.
The 37-year-old actor actually made Misha do the talking in this cuteness overloaded photo. He Instagrammed a photo of Misha, lying against a backdrop of hand-drawn balloons, with 'big sister' written in the background! No points for guessing that Shahid's post went crazy viral within minutes of being shared with his actor brother Ishaan Khatter and colleagues Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora being the first ones to 'like' the post. Shahid's post garnered almost 2 lakh 'likes' within an hour.
Mira also shared the adorable photo on her verified Instagram handle, with fans and followers congratulating the couple about the big news! In July last year, Mira Rajput trended a great deal after she told mid-day that she will only make up her mind about joining work after her second baby. When asked if she has a deadline to start a career, she said: "No, because I am going to have another baby, and then decide." Reports of Mira Rajput's second pregnancy have also been doing the rounds on the social circuit for a while now. In his previous interviews, even Shahid revealed that they are considering to expand their family of three. Speaking to GQ in February last year, he said his wife "would prefer to have a second kid soon as well.
She wants to flip the norm, get the kids to a certain age and then be free to do what she likes." Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput married in July 2015 and Misha was born in August 26 the next year. The duo were currently spotted at a special screening of Ishaan Khatter's Beyond The Clouds. On the work front, Shahid will resume shooting of Batti Gul Meter Chalu.

After almost 20 years, actor Salman Khan has been found guilty of poaching two blackbucks in 1998. Khan has been sentenced to five years in jail and fined Rs 10,000. Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre have been acquitted in the case. The Bishnoi community welcomed the judgment and said that it would appeal against the acquittal of four other actors.
Bollywood film industry and Khan's fans, meanwhile, expressed their shock over the verdict. "The accused is a popular actor whose deeds are followed by people. Despite this, the accused hunted two blackbucks," Chief Judicial Magistrate Dev Kumar Khatri said in his written judgment.
Celebrities react as Salman Khan gets 5-year jail term in blackbuck poaching case: Highlights The Jodhpur court on Thursday has given its verdict on the blackbuck poaching case. While Salman Khan was found guilty by the court and handed a five-year jail term with a fine of Rs 10,000, Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre were acquitted. Salman was accused of killing two blackbucks on October 2, 1998 in Kankani village in Jodhpur during the shooting of the film Hum Saath Saath Hain. Salman was earlier acquitted in the case of possession of firearms with expired licenses.
Hichki actor Rani Mukerji extended her support to Salman. When asked to comment on blackbuck poaching case verdict, she told IANS, “I always say this, my love will always be with him.” Other celebrities from the industry have also extended their support towards the actors involved.

Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani starrer Baaghi 2 is setting the box office on fire and how. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the action flick earned Rs 12.10 crore at BO on Monday, therefore bringing up its total collection to Rs 85.20 crore. Very soon, the movie will be smashing records by being one of the quickest to reach the Rs 100 crore mark.
After all, it is already broken Padmaavat’s record opening of Rs 25.10 crore. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had shared the figures of the film by tweeting, “Despite bandh affecting biz in various states, #Baaghi2 puts up a SUPERB double digit total on Mon… Biz gathered momentum towards evening shows… Speeding towards ₹ 100 cr… Fri 25.10 cr, Sat 20.40 cr, Sun 27.60 cr, Mon 12.10 cr. Total: ₹ 85.20 cr. India biz.” Surpassing trade analyst Girish Johar’s prediction–who had said that the film will earn more than Rs 65 crore during its opening weekend–Baaghi 2 has surprised everyone by crossing the Rs 70 crore mark. The success of the Tiger Shroff starrer has been so tremendous that even Bollywood has gotten to its feet to applaud what the film has achieved.
While Hrithik Roshan has already given Shroff the title of the ultimate action hero, evergreen star Anil Kapoor also praised his friend’s son by sharing a post that read, “There’s a new king of the jungle with a roaring performance & a hit at the box office! Congrats team #Baaghi2!! @iTIGERSHROFF @DishPatani @NGEMovies @khan_ahmedasas @WardaNadiadwala @foxstarhindi @TSeries”. Thanking friends, family and fans for bestowing so much love on him and Baaghi 2, Tiger Shroff on Monday said, “I just want to thank you all for all the love and support you have given to me and the whole team of Baaghi. Can’t thank you enough. This feels surreal and it still feels like I am dreaming.
This is something I could never really dream of in my wildest dream or even dare to dream. I am just so thankful for all that’s happening. We are grateful and thankful. I cannot say enough. I am speechless and cannot tell you how I feel. I don’t know what to say honestly speaking but cannot stop saying thank you. Thank you to all who have been a support. Thank you audiences, family and friends for all your love.” Baaghi 2 stars Tiger Shroff, Disha Patani, Manoj Bajpayee, Deepak Dobriyal in significant roles.

Baaghi 2 movie cast: Tiger Shroff, Disha Patani, Manoj Bajpayee, Randeep Hooda, Deepak Dobriyal, Prateik Babbar Baaghi 2 movie director: Ahmed Khan Baaghi 2 movie rating: 2.5 stars When Tiger Shroff stands, arms akimbo, pectorals gleaming, eyes glaring, beautifully chiseled jawline straining, we can believe that his enemies—be they a muscle-bound duo or countless machine-gun rattling baddies—will drop like flies around him. And they do, in droves: this is a promise both the film and the hero keep.
When Tiger is on the move, kicking, jumping, punching, wielding guns and knives and bombs, Baaghi 2 delivers. It falters when it dives into ‘emotion’, trying to get our Army jawan hero in touch with his softer side. The love story is saggy. The pretty Patani, who debuted with sparkle in M S Dhoni, comes off insipid and out of her depth here. The trouble with a full-on masala film going in search of a plot is evident in the way the film unspools.
The bare bones are borrowed from Telugu thriller Kshanam, but the fillings are all strictly Bollywood: the attempt to create difference gets diluted. After a while, inevitably, all the bang-bang starts feeling familiar, whether it is happening on the streets of Goa, where much of the film is set, or in some jungles, location unspecified, where the long-drawn climax takes place. Tiger is cleverly surrounded by a splendid supporting cast. There’s the fully-in-the-groove Manoj Bajpayee as a sardonic cop; Randeep Hooda as the reefer-smoking hippie undercover agent; and Deepak Dobriyal as a shady-but-good-hearted car dealer with a side business in powder.
They lift the film every time they come on, knowing their place in the pantheon (the hero is on top, everyone else is below, waiting for their dialogue), and shining nevertheless. You wish they had more to do, even Prateik Babbar who returns to the screen after a long gap, and tries too hard for menace as a drug-addled crazy. You wish that this was a real ensemble cast, with equitable sharing rights, because then it would be so much more interesting.
We are left with the invincible hero in the snaky villain’s den, battling one man after another, scything through one attack after another, in his latest desi-Rambo turn. Finally, it all comes down to Tiger, and he burns bright only up to a point. An even bigger sin is in the way the film tries to re-jig Madhuri Dixit’s iconic “Ek Do Teen”: Jacqueline Fernandez, an efficient bumper-and-grinder left to herself, comes on, and our eyes glaze over.

Last year, when the makers of Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez starrer A Gentleman started working on the film, reports suggested that it was the sequel of Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif starrer Bang Bang. However, it wasn’t the case as A Gentleman was a different film. But all Hrithik and Katrina fans can now rejoice as the two may return soon with the Bang Bang sequel which is called Bang Bang Reloaded.
We hear the makers, Fox Star, are determined to make the sequel. Trade analyst Amul Mohan had tweeted saying, “The makers of #BangBang have started working of its sequel it is learnt! The second outing has been titled Bang Bang Reloaded which they have registered this week! Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif are likely going to be cast again! More updates soon!” Reports also suggest Fox Star Hindi n as Bang Bang Reloaded since they had green-lighted the sequel.
On the work front, Hrithik Roshan is currently busy with the shoot of Super 30 directed by Vikas Bahl which is based on Mathematician Anand Kumar’s life and Katrina Kaif is busy with the shoot of Thugs of Hindostan as well as Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero. Keep watching this space as we’ll be back with an official announcement on the cast of Bang Bang Reloaded soon!

Urmila Matondkar, the actor who won hearts with her ace acting and dancing skills in the 90s, is back on the silver screen and how. The “Chamma Chamma” girl turns to a “Bewafa Beauty” in the new Blackmail song which goes by the same name. But this typical Bollywood item number fails to live up to the benchmark the yesteryear actress had set for herself. While “Bewafa Beauty” is sung by Pawni Pandey and composed by Amit Trivedi, it has been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
The visuals follow Urmila dancing in a shady bar and there is something about her expression that makes us realize that she is as uncomfortable donning this avatar as the viewers are. The unscrupulous lyrics and crass setting just don’t gel with our “Aa Hi Jaiye” girl.
Abhinay Deo directorial Blackmail witnesses the comeback of Urmila after a decade. The last we saw her spilling magic in the movie theatres
was when she did a special dance number “Mehbooba Mehbooba” in Ram Gopal Varma’s Aag. Deo also shared how he didn’t want a “come-and-go” item number in the film, rather a song that adds meaning to the film. He said,”Initially, there was no song in the film. But when we were discussing the film creatively, Bhushan, being T-Series and having a keen ear for music, felt that there should definitely be a lip-sync song.
I already had an idea of including a song which could take the story ahead. I did not want an item number that comes and goes. We knew that the song should be able to say something in the film. By its name, ‘Bewafa Beauty’ states that it is about a beauty who is unfaithful, which is the premise of the film — a man whose wife is cheating on him.”
Deo also revealed how he aimed to revive the memory of similar songs from the past with Matondkar. He explained, “Firstly, Urmila is a massive star, she is not an item girl. We were not looking for an item girl for this song. We wanted a performer, someone who has tremendous value as a star in the audience’s mind. We also wanted someone who has not come in front of the silver screen for a while now. From all the names we came up with, I personally believe that the biggest and best name is Urmila.
She fit the bill perfectly, is gorgeous, and is an incredible dancer — a perfect match for the song and film.” The look of the actor for the song was shared by the makers in a series of tweets earlier. T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar also remarked how the team wanted a naughty and humourous song with Urmila, “Although Irrfan’s character in Blackmail is in a situation no man would want to be in, the mood of the film is tongue-in-cheek. We wanted a song that would be naughty and humorous without being vulgar. “Bewafa Beauty” is that song. With Amitabh Bhattacharya’s wicked lyrics set to Amit Trivedi’s racy composition and Pawni Pandey’s spicy voice, picturised on a huge, magnetic star like Urmila Matondkar, this song is set to burn the airwaves in an already scorching summer.”
Apart from Irrfan, the film has an ensemble cast including Divya Dutta, Kirti Kulhari, Arunoday Singh and Omi Vaidya. Also, the film has brought together singers Baadshah, Guru Randhawa, Amit Trivedi and rapper Divine for its music album. Produced by T-Series and RDP Motion Pictures, the film will hit the theatres on April 6, 2018.

Priya Prakash Varrier has become an overnight sensation with just one wink. She has become every boy’s crush and it is something that she might have not expected right in her debut film. What is Priya’s reaction on it? “I am very happy. Don’t know how to handle so much love. It’s completely surreal,” Priya tells Hindustan Times. “I’m falling short of words trying to express myself. Never expected this,” said an exhuberant Varrier.
Ahead of Valentines Day, her mailbox is full of date requests, with so many proposals already. “My family and I are confused about how to react to his instant fame. It happened overnight and I don’t how to really handle all this fame and attention. This is my first feature film,” Priya told Gulf News. Speaking about the preparation for the Malayalam song ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’ from her debut film ‘Oru Adaar Love’, Priya told HT, “The director wanted me to play with my eyebrows in a certain way.
It’s a mappila song (rhythmic songs in the north Kerala tradition) that has been recreated for the film. And there’s a scene where this girl and this boy converse through expressions — and the director wanted a certain mannerism. I just followed his instruction.” The expressions were a totally natural process, exclaimed Priya. “All of this is so unexpected and I never expected such a huge reaction… What you see in that song was all spontaneous.
The director asked me to do something cute and just asked me if I could wink,” said Varrier with a laugh to Gulf News. “The expressions shown in the song was all done on the spot and therefore all of this is so unbelievable,” Varrier added. A trainer dancer, Priya feels that it has helped her become an overnight star. “Maybe it did help … I have trained in Bharathnatyam and Mohiniyattam. Although I want to continue my studies, I want to act more,” she stressed. “There’s no one special in my life.
My studies and my dream of becoming an actor are the two focal points of my life. On Valentine’s Day, I’ll have to go to college because attendance is a problem. I’m not thinking much [about getting mobbed] — after all, I go to a girl’s college,” she laughed while speaking to Hindustan Times. Priya also hopes to work in Bollywood sometime later. “I would definitely want to work in Bollywood. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the director I would want to work with.
I have got a lot of offers from Malayalam, Tamil and Bollywood. But I have not signed any other movie yet,” she told CNN News 18. “Working in Bollywood is a dream. My favourites are Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh,” she signs off to HT. After the song, a teaser from her debut film will be out tonight. “I hope the teaser tonight also gets such a huge reaction like the song got,” Varrier signed off.

It is not known if Jacqueline Fernandez will return in Kick 2, as the announcement mentions the names of just Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala. While some reports are doing the rounds that the makers are keen to recreate the magic of the original jodi, others suggest that the film will feature a different leading lady. Names like Deepika Padukone, Kriti Sanon and Amy Jackson are being tossed around. Meanwhile, Salman and Jacqueline will be paired opposite each other in Remo D'Souza's Race 3. The two recently wrapped up the Mumbai schedule of the film, which will hit the theatres this Eid.

Pari teaser landed on Wednesday and the Anushka Sharma horror film has every element you associate with the genre. It also has two Anushkas. Anushka Sharma played a lovable ghost in Phillauri. She must have liked dabbling with the supernatural for she junked the ‘lovable’ part in her next production venture, Pari, and kept the ghostly. As Pari teaser launched on Wednesday, it has established one thing quite well -- this is not a fairytale. What Pari is, instead, is an offering with almost all elements you associate with the genre -- we see a woman possessed (Anushka, of course), a man who must have been fond of her once but now wants to get rid of her (Parambrata Chatterjee) and a devil “who is out to play”. The fact that it comes with a lot of shrieks from a tortured soul is a given. The twist in the teaser comes towards its ends when Anushka wakes up with a jerk and goes to investigate a noise. She drags her chains as she walks and comes across a bloodied version of herself who is drinking a liquid -- which looks nothing like milk -- from a baby’s feeding bottle. She shouts in fear as the door slams behind her and the Anushka covered in blood laughs hysterically. Can this be suggesting abuse as a child?

Here’s a REMINDER. This is not a fairytale. #PariTeaser https://t.co/iKRwkYDZot @paramspeak @OfficialCSFilms @kriarj @poojafilms

Pari is the actor’s third film as a producer. She has earlier acted and co-produced NH10 (2015) and Phillauri (2017). Anushka is currently filming Aanand L Rai’s movie Zero, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. This will also be her first film after she married cricketer Virat Kohli at a private ceremony in Italy on December 11. Their wedding trended on top of the charts as the couple threw two lavish receptions in Delhi and Mumbai.

Hrithik Roshan, who was spending time with his sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan and ex-wife Sussanne Khan post the release of Kaabil in 2017, is back to work. The actor will begin the Varanasi schedule of Anand Kumar biopic Super 30 from today. The film is based on mathematician Anand Kumar’s life. Anand, who is based in Patna, is popular for tutoring IIT aspirants who belong to a less privileged background. Hrithik’s first look as the ace mathematician Anand took social media by storm on Tuesday morning. Donning a thick beard and rough hair, Hrithik seems to have slipped easily into his character of a teacher in the Vikas Bahl directorial.

The Greek god (as Hrithik’s die-hard fans like to address him), who has been instrumental in giving the Hindi film industry some of the blockbusters with his brilliant acting chops, has been prepping up for the film and has even met the Patna-based IIT tutor to understand the intricacies of his character. According to a report in Pune Mirror, Hrithik will be heading to Patna and Banaras for the next schedule of the biopic where he will shoot 10 days each. In May, the last schedule of the film will be in Patna but the major portion of the film will be shot in Mumbai. Vikas Bahl is planning to recreate the three cities in Mumbai itself. Earlier mathematician Anand had said that he is hopeful about the film since Hrithik is deeply passionate about the project. “I am happy that Hrithik will play me because he is the best choice for the role. His dedication towards his work and the kind of versatility he exhibits as an actor is very inspiring. Being a rooted and passionate person myself, I feel that he will bring an emotional depth to my life on screen, “said Anand in an earlier interview. Super 30, helmed by Queen fame Vikas Bahl, is scheduled to hit the theaters on January 25, 2019. The female lead of the film is yet to be announced.

The trailer for Ajay Devgn’s upcoming thriller Raid has been released by the makers. While Ajay grabs your attention from the get-go in his role of a no-nonsense Income Tax Officer Amay Patnaik, he has the perfect nemesis in the form of Saurabh Shukla. Based on one of the most high-profile and well-crafted Income Tax raids of the country, Raid explores the struggle an upright Income Tax Officer has to go through to conduct a raid on one of the wealthy goons of a city, in this case Shukla. But that does not mean Ajay Devgn is any less badass. The 1-minute-long trailer is full of power-packed dialogues accentuated with the proper UP accent the actors have taken on. Raid also stars Ileana D’Cruz in the role of Ajay’s wife who supports her husband through thick and thin. The film is set in the 1980s Uttar Pradesh and will be produced by Bhushan Kumar and Kumar Mangat. Written by Ritesh Shah who also has super-hits like Pink and Airlift to his name, Raid is scheduled to release on March 16, 2018. Talking about the film, director Raj Kumar Gupta had said, “Raid is a story that needs to be told on the big screen. I am looking forward to my collaboration with Ajay sir, Bhushanji, Kumarji and Abhishek on this film.” If this hasn’t got you excited, let us tell you that Raj Kumar Gupta is the man behind the 2011 hit No One Killed Jessica and Rajeev Khandelwal’s Aamir.


Talking about working with Ajay Devgn again for Raid, Ileana had earlier said in an interview, “Working with Ajay has been really really smooth. He is one of those people who is just so easy to work with. You forget the fact that he is this big superstar, because he is super easy to work with. And, it is a great role for me, it is very different. It is out of the 1980s, so it is very interesting, I think, I have done so many films from 1970s and 1950s, and now 1980s. But I think it is a great film, and it was great experience working with Raj Kumar Gupta as well. And it is a great story, I think it is something that people want to see now, they want great stories, great content. So, the film has got great content.”
