In 2019, director Abhishek Chaubey and producer Ronnie Scewvala had teamed up for Sonchiriya which starred Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles. Though the film received positive reviews, it was a flop at the box office.


Now, Abhishek and Ronnie have collaborated once again and this time it’s a biopic on hockey player Dhyan Chand. Ronnie’s production company RSVP Movies took to Instagram to make an announcement about the film.

They posted, “1500+ goals, 3 Olympic Gold medals & a story of India’s pride... It gives us immense pleasure to announce our next with the ace filmmaker #AbhishekChaubey - a biopic on the Hockey wizard of India, #DHYANCHAND #RonnieScrewvala @premnathrajagopalan @pashanjal @shivahereon @hasanainhooda @bluemonkey_film @macguffinpictures.”

While the makers have announced the film, they have not yet announced the lead actor’s name. Well, it will be interesting to see which actor will be roped in to play the role of Dhyan Chand on the big screen.

Chaubey is known for his movies like Ishqiya, Dedh Ishqiya and Udta Punjab. Apart from being critically acclaim, these films also did quite well at the box office.

A couple of years ago, there were reports that Varun Dhawan will be seen playing the role of Dhyan Chand in the hockey player’s biopic and the film will be produced by cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. However, later there was no development on it.

Kim Kardashian didn’t know the Ambanis before saying yes to their ‘Wild’ 50-pound wedding invite

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about their whirlwind trip to India in July 2024. The two reality stars were among the global celebrities who attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she didn’t personally know the Ambani family before attending the wedding. In fact, the decision to go was made pretty casually.

During the episode, Kim shared that her connection to the Ambanis came through Lorraine Schwartz, a close friend and well-known jeweller. Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.
