Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar set for intimate scenes in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan

Ayushmann Khurrana is on a roll these days! After beginning 2019 with the success of the Anubhav Sinha-directed niche film Article 15, the actor has just delivered yet another massive hit in the form of Dream Girl. Besides the huge success of his movies at the box-office, the actor has also bagged his maiden National Film Award for his 2018 thriller Andhadhun.

While his recently released comic-caper Dream Girl is still busy raking in moolah at the cash counter, Ayushmann Khurrana has started shooting for his forthcoming film Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, which is a sequel to his 2017 hit Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. Directed by Hitesh Kewalya, the movie began its first schedule on 10th September.


While Shubh Mangal Saavdhan revolved around a man with the issue of erectile dysfunction, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan has the talented actor in the role of a homosexual man. Besides Khurrana, the gay comic-caper also stars internet sensation Jitendra Kumar who plays his love interest in the film.

The latest update on the much-awaited film is that the makers are set to go all out when it comes to depicting intimacy between two adults of the same gender. Yes, you guessed it right! Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar will have several intimate scenes in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.

“Unlike Onir’s brave My Brother Nikhil (2005) where no intimacy was shown between the gay partner Sanjay Suri and Purab Kohli, in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, there will be many intimate moments between Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar. This would be the first gay love story of Indian cinema where the central relationship would not accentuate the gender of the lovers,” a source close to the project informs.

Aside from Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, which is slated to release on 13th March, Ayushmann Khurrana will also be seen in Bala and Gulabo Sitabo.

Johnny Depp's dramatic new look in ‘Day Drinker’ sends internet into a frenzy

Johnny Depp is stepping back into Hollywood’s mainstream with a powerful new role in Day Drinker, his first major studio film since the defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. With a fresh look and an intriguing character, Depp is ready to headline a movie that’s already got people talking.

In the first official image from the film, Depp appears nearly unrecognisable. Dressed in a deep navy suit, his long silver hair pulled back and a salt-and-pepper beard framing his face, he cuts a sharp yet mysterious figure. Holding a glass in one hand, he looks worlds away from the roles fans might remember, but that’s exactly what’s catching everyone's attention.

Aimee Lou Wood criticises SNL’s ‘White Potus’ parody for mocking her teeth

Aimee Lou Wood, star of The White Lotus, recently found herself at the centre of controversy after a parody of her character aired on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The skit, a political spoof titled The White Potus, humorously exaggerated aspects of the show, but for Wood, it went too far. Comedian Sarah Sherman impersonated Wood's character, Chelsea, with oversized prosthetic teeth. For Aimee Lou, this portrayal hit a nerve, and she openly criticised it.

Taking to Instagram, the actress expressed her discontent, calling the parody “mean and unfunny.” She argued that while she understood SNL was known for satire, the skit could have been executed with more sophistication and less cheap humour. Wood, who has always been open about her unique appearance, especially her noticeable gap teeth, clarified that she doesn't mind caricatures or playful jabs, but felt this one crossed a line. “I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth,” she wrote, pointing out that the entire joke seemed to target her appearance rather than the content of the skit.

As the drummers pounded out fierce rhythms, Hanumankind launched into Run It Up, his latest hit and the crowd packed with both die-hard fans and curious newcomers, went wild.

Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King soar to space in a historic all-women Blue Origin flight

On Monday morning, six women including pop icon Katy Perry boarded a Blue Origin rocket in West Texas and took off on a short flight to space. The crew spent just over 10 minutes on the journey, experiencing those minutes of weightlessness before they safely returned to Earth.

What made this flight stand out, though, wasn’t just the celebrity presence. This was the first time in over six decades that an all-women team flew to space together. The last time anything close happened was in 1963, when Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to orbit Earth, alone, on a Soviet mission.
