Akshay Kumar, who has almost half a dozen projects on his platter at any given point in time, recently announced a new film titled Ram Setu. The latest update on the upcoming project is that it will begin production in mid-2021 and enter theatres in 2022. Yes, Kumar has just locked the official release date for his ambitious project. Announced on Diwali 2020, Ram Setu will arrive in cinemas on Diwali 2022.


Akshay Kumar has many projects lined up for release in 2021 and 2022. He begins 2021 with the release of his much-awaited film Sooryavanshi. The Rohit Shetty directorial was originally scheduled to hit the marquee in March 2020, but the sudden outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic led to its postponement. If reports are to be believed, Sooryavanshi will now release in the first quarter of 2021.

The superstar is currently busy with Prithviraj. He will start shooting for his next Bachchan Pandey in January. Ram Setu will go on floors in mid-2021. The film is about keeping the ideals of Lord Ram in the consciousness of all Indians by building a bridge that will connect generations to come. It reportedly revolves around the journey of a man who is trying to discover whether Ram Setu is a myth or not.

According to sources, “Akshay Kumar has booked Diwali 2022 weekend for Ram Setu. The plan is to begin shooting by mid-2021. The majority of the film will be shot in the birthplace of Lord Ram, Ayodhya.”

Apart from Sooryavanshi, Bachchan Pandey, Prithviraj, and Ram Setu, Akshay Kumar also has Bellbottom, Raksha Bandhan, and Atrangi Re in his pocket. Buzz has it that he is also joining forces with Mission Mangal (2019) director Jagan Shakti for a sci-fi film. An official announcement is awaited though.

​Scarlett Johansson slams SNL’s 'gross' vagina joke: ‘It was intense. I felt like I’d pass out!'

Scarlett Johansson has finally addressed the jaw-dropping joke about her that aired during Saturday Night Live’s holiday episode in December. Her husband, Colin Jost, was made to deliver the punchline live on air, and Johansson, watching from backstage, was left stunned. In a recent interview with InStyle, she described the moment as “so gross” and admitted she couldn’t believe the show went that far.

The joke was part of the show’s annual “Weekend Update” tradition, where Jost and his co-host Michael Che write outrageous jokes for each other to read without any prior warning. This time, Che handed Jost a line that compared Johansson to a Costco roast beef sandwich in a joke about their sex life. When Jost read it aloud, the audience gasped. Meanwhile, cameras backstage caught Johansson’s reaction mouth open, clearly shocked.

Amitabh Bachchan buys prime land near Ram Mandir in Ayodhya for father’s memorial

Amitabh Bachchan has purchased a second plot of land in Ayodhya, this time a large 54,454 square foot piece, located roughly 10 kilometres from the newly consecrated Ram Mandir.

Stan Lee’s tragic final years: Shocking new documentary exposes elder abuse and exploitation

Stan Lee spent his life bringing superheroes to the world—Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, and so many more. But behind the joyful cameos and conventions, his last years were marked by serious exploitation. A new documentary, Stan Lee: The Final Chapter, talks about the dark, uncomfortable truth about what really happened.

The film is being put together by Jon Bolerjack, who worked closely with Lee during his final four years. Bolerjack wasn’t just an assistant; he was a witness to what many believe was the mishandling and manipulation of an ageing legend. According to Bolerjack, Lee was constantly pushed to sign memorabilia and make public appearances, despite his poor health. In video clips already shared, Lee appears exhausted while being shuffled between events.
