Fatima Sana Shaikh to team with Shah Rukh Khan?

Fans have waited an inordinate amount of time to hear the news announcing the next project of Shah Rukh Khan. The superstar was last seen in his home production Zero (2018) which failed to create any spark at the box-office. The failure of the mega-budgeted project hit SRK so hard that he is being extra cautious in choosing his next.

Speculation about him joining forces with hit South Indian filmmaker Atlee have been doing the rounds for a really long time, but there has been no announcement confirming any project. Buzz also has it that Khan might collaborate with ace filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani on an upcoming film. But all this remains nothing but mere speculations until an official announcement is made.


When Zero was racing towards its release in 2018, several reports had surfaced claiming that the superstar would next team up with Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur for one of their most ambitious projects, titled Salute. The latest we hear that the much-delayed film is being revived and Fatima Sana Shaikh, who shot to fame after delivering a powerful performance in the biographical sports drama Dangal (2016), might join the superstar as the female lead.

While the buzz around the project died down a time long ago, this new development indicates that Shah Rukh Khan is returning to headline Salute. For the uninitiated, Salute is a space odyssey film based on the life of Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian in space.

The big-ticket project is being produced by well-known producers Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur. It has been written by Anjum Rajabali.

More details are expected to arrive soon.

"Bollywood is stuck in the 1980s": Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor slams industry’s obsession with stars & big-budget flops

Bollywood has been grappling with an identity crisis, with many questioning whether the industry's golden era is over. A recent social media debate reignited the discussion, claiming that the industry is in decline due to the absence or sporadic appearances of major stars like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, actor and son of Anil Kapoor, responded with a sharp critique of Bollywood’s over-reliance on big-budget, star-driven films, arguing that it is time for a shift toward strong storytelling.

A user on X posted, "Bollywood is finished. Salman doesn’t want to act, Aamir has no films, Akshay has a dozen films but none that matter, SRK does a film every two years, and Ajay is playing it safe. Ranbir Kapoor seems like the only one carrying the industry forward."

Val Kilmer, Hollywood icon and 'Top Gun' star, dies at 65 after years of health struggles

Val Kilmer, the celebrated actor known for his roles in Top Gun, Batman Forever, and The Doors, has passed away at the age of 65. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed that he died of pneumonia on April 1 in Los Angeles. Though he had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, he had since recovered, though the illness had a significant impact on his voice and career.

Kilmer was a versatile performer who made his mark in Hollywood with a mix of blockbuster hits and critically acclaimed roles. Born in Los Angeles in 1959, Kilmer’s passion for acting led him to the prestigious Juilliard School, where he became one of its youngest-ever students. His career began with comedic roles in Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), but he soon transitioned to more intense characters, firming his reputation as a serious actor. His performances in Tombstone (1993) as Doc Holliday and Heat (1995) alongside Al Pacino and Robert De Niro further showcased his talent and range.

L2: Empuraan - A film that shattered records and sparked a political storm

Few films manage to be both a record-breaking success and a lightning rod for controversy at the same time. But L2: Empuraan, the much-hyped sequel to Lucifer, has done exactly that. The Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial, starring Mohanlal, has not only rewritten and shattered box office history but also sparked a nationwide debate on censorship, political narratives, and artistic freedom.

On one hand, it’s the fastest Malayalam film to gross £5.1 million (₹50 crore) in Kerala, the first Malayalam film to cross £10.2 million (₹100 crore) overseas, and a £20.4 million (₹200 crore) club entrant within just five days. On the other hand, it has been accused of pushing a political agenda, leading to 2m 8s, 24 last-minute cuts, a legal battle, and a full-blown culture war.
