A couple of days ago, we had reported that the popular Sony Entertainment Television show Chandragupta Maurya was set for a generation leap, post which actor Faizal Khan was to play grown-up Chandragupta.

The big-ticket historical series has already taken the much-talked-about generation leap and child actor Kartikey Malviya, who played younger Chandragupta on the show, has been replaced by Faizal Khan.

The latest update on the show is that the makers are now gearing up to introduce a new character called Durdhara, the Princess of Magadh. She is also the sister of Dhananand. News has it that actress Aditi Sanwal has been roped in to play the character of Durdhara.

Aditi Sanwal was seen in Bollywood star John Abraham’s hit film Satyameva Jayate (2018). Now she has bagged the female lead in Chandragupta Maurya. “Shoot with the new Durdhara in Aditi Sanwal has stated,” a source close to the development revealed.

Chandragupta Maurya is produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary under the banner of Swastik Productions. It is one of the top-rated shows on Sony Entertainment Television.

Forget plot twists – the real shock in ‘The White Lotus’ was the pay structure

The third season of The White Lotus may have just ended, but the buzz around the show isn’t just about plot twists or who didn’t survive the finale. It’s about money or more specifically, how everyone in the cast, from seasoned stars to first-time actors, gets paid exactly the same.

That’s right. Whether you’re a household name or a newcomer, once you’re cast in The White Lotus, your paycheque is identical to your co-stars’. Around $40,000 an episode so about £31,000 is what each cast member pockets, no matter how many awards they’ve won or followers they have online.

Tillotama Shome recalls a director telling her she'd "never earn that kind of money" and how she proved him wrong

There was a time when Tillotama Shome’s dream of owning a specific car was laughed off not by strangers, but by a director she worked with. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor, known for her strong, nuanced performances in films and shows like Paatal Lok, Delhi Crime, and Sir, recalled a moment early in her career that stung more than she expected.

During a casual chat at a wrap party, when someone asked the team what they were currently longing for, Tillotama mentioned a car she’d set her heart on. She believed that if she got the right project, paid well enough, she could afford it. That’s when the director, who had paid her poorly for the project, cut in and told her point-blank: “You’ll never make that kind of money. You’re talented, yes, but the industry doesn’t work that way.”

‘It ends with us’ actor says Blake Lively was not ‘nearly nude’ in birth scene, calls her claims ‘surprising’​

The behind-the-scenes dispute surrounding It Ends With Us has taken another turn, with actor Adam Mondschein now addressing Blake Lively’s claims about a childbirth scene in the film. Mondschein, who played the doctor delivering Lively’s character’s baby, says he was taken aback by how she described the experience in her lawsuit against co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

In her updated legal complaint filed earlier this year, Lively criticised the choice of Mondschein for the role, pointing out that he was a close friend of Baldoni’s. She claimed the decision made her feel “exposed and humiliated” during a scene she says was mishandled and lacking basic protections typically in place for filming intimate content.

Leicester Square to honour Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in London's first ever Bollywood statue

A moment from one of Indian cinema’s most iconic love stories is set to find a permanent place in the heart of London. This spring, a bronze statue of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, captured mid-scene from the 1995 romantic classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), will be installed in Leicester Square. This marks the first time a Bollywood film is being honoured in the UK capital’s renowned ‘Scenes in the Square’ movie trail.

Unveiled as part of the lead-up to the film’s 30th anniversary in October 2025, the statue will stand outside the Odeon cinema, near the spot where the film’s lead characters, Raj and Simran, unknowingly crossed paths. That brief moment in Leicester Square becomes the starting point of their unforgettable journey through Europe and India, which later became a story that left an imprint on generations of fans.
