It is no secret that Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has signed up with the leading American talent management agency, William Morris Endeavour (WME), to explore acting opportunities in the West. And if fresh reports are to be believed, the Gully Boy (2019) actress is set to announce her first Hollywood project next year in 2022. Yes, you read that absolutely right!

A leading Indian publication reports that Bhatt plans to announce her collaboration with a Hollywood studio in early 2022. She is currently in talks and a deal could be locked soon. While not much else is known about the forthcoming project, the publication reports that the actress is psyched up about a couple of scripts, one of which has, in particular, caught her attention.

A source divulges that despite a lot of plum offers coming her way, Bhatt is very particular about her debut film in Hollywood. She has reportedly asked WME to aggressively look for projects for her. WME also represents such talents as Gal Gadot, Emma Stone, Oprah and Charlize Theron, among many more.

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is waiting for the release of her much-awaited films Gangubai Kathiawadi and RRR. While Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is set to release on January 6, 2022, SS Rajamouli’s RRR is poised for its theatrical release on January 7, 2022. She has already wrapped up her maiden production, Darlings.

The actress is currently shooting for Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, alongside Ranveer Singh. The film also features Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan and Dharmendra in important roles. She next headlines Excel Entertainment’s Jee Le Zaraa with Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.

Sara Davies steps back from Dragons' Den to save Crafter’s Companion

Sara Davies, a well-known face on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, has decided to step back from the show to focus on her own business, Crafter’s Companion. The 40-year-old entrepreneur, who joined the series in 2019 as the youngest female Dragon at 35, shared the news on Instagram, explaining that her role as CEO of her craft supply company requires her full attention. While fans will still see her in the second half of the current season, she won’t be part of the next series.

Davies, who founded Crafter’s Companion in 2005 while still at university, built the business from her bedroom into a global brand. She recently returned as CEO after the company faced financial challenges earlier this year, stepping in to save jobs and stabilise the business. In her Instagram post, she described the decision to leave Dragons’ Den as a tough but necessary one, emphasising that being a Dragon involves far more than just filming. “It’s about committing to the businesses you invest in and seeing them grow,” she wrote. “That’s why I need to focus on my first ‘baby’—my own business.”

Anora’s unconventional Oscar campaign: How a bold $18M strategy turned the indie film into a cultural phenomenon

How did 'Anora’s $18M hype-driven strategy take over the Oscars?

Neon, the indie film distributor, has once again proven its knack for Oscar success, this time with Sean Baker’s Anora, a film about a sex worker’s whirlwind romance. The movie’s big win at the Oscars has left us all in awe, not just for its cinematic experience but also for Neon’s high stakes unconventional marketing strategy. This wasn’t Neon’s first rodeo though. The company had previously helped Parasite (2019) make history at the Oscars, spending around $20 million on its awards campaign.

For Anora, the approach was different. Instead of courting critics and industry insiders, they tapped into the film’s Gen Z appeal and grassroots charm. One of their biggest moves was a pop-up merch shop in an LA auto repair yard, where 300 eager fans lined up hours before opening. The limited-edition Anora merchandise, racy “Little Wifey” thongs for $15, cheeky slogan T-shirts, and retro-style posters quickly became collectibles. Rather than courting Academy members with lavish screenings, Neon filled early showings with sex workers, ensuring buzz that felt authentic to the film’s subject matter.

Jazz-Funk icon Roy Ayers passes away: Fans mourn a music legend

Roy Ayers, the iconic jazz-funk musician best known for his timeless hit Everybody Loves the Sunshine, has passed away at the age of 84. His family shared the news on his official Facebook page, revealing that he died on March 4, 2025, in New York City after battling a long illness. The statement described Ayers as a “legendary vibraphonist, composer, and producer” who lived a full and inspiring life. They requested privacy during this difficult time and promised a celebration of his life would follow.

Born on September 10, 1940, in Los Angeles, Ayers grew up in a household filled with music. His mother, Ruby, was a piano teacher, and his father, Roy Sr., played the trombone. Ayers’ musical journey began early, learning piano as a child before discovering the vibraphone. His passion for the vibraphone was sparked by jazz legend Lionel Hampton, who gifted him a pair of mallets after a performance when Ayers was just five years old.

Jay-Z has filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming the dropped allegations were part of a scheme to damage his reputation

Jay-Z files defamation lawsuit against woman who dropped rape allegations

Jay-Z, the celebrated music mogul, has launched a defamation lawsuit against an anonymous woman, referred to as "Jane Doe," who accused him of raping her when she was 13. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Alabama, claims the allegations are baseless and driven by financial motives. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, asserts that the accusations are part of a calculated effort to tarnish his reputation, both personally and professionally.

The legal action comes after Jane Doe withdrew a previous lawsuit last month, in which she accused Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs of sexually assaulting her at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000. Jay-Z has consistently denied these claims, and the case was dismissed after Doe voluntarily stepped back. However, Jay-Z’s new lawsuit alleges that Doe and her attorneys, Tony Buzbee and David Fortney, orchestrated the accusations for monetary gain, describing their actions as "soullessly motivated by greed."
