Hrithik Roshan and Shankar to team up for a sci-fi film?

There is no denying the fact that S. Shankar is one of the finest filmmakers of Indian cinema. He has given us a series of exceptionally well-made movies like Robot (2010) and 2.0 (2018). He is one of those rare filmmakers who everyone wants to work with. So, it should not come as a surprise if you come to learn that after Akshay Kumar, now superstar Hrithik Roshan is also teaming up with the visionary filmmaker.

According to fresh reports, S. Shankar has narrated a sci-fi thriller script to Junior Roshan and the superstar has quite liked it. He is almost onboard, but the project is yet to be signed on the dotted line.


Shankar is presently gearing up to helm Indian 2, a sequel to the National award-winning 1996 Tamil film Indian. The film features megastar Kamal Haasan and Nayanthara in lead roles. The flick will mount the shooting floor as soon as Haasan wraps up hosting the television reality show, Bigg Boss 2 (Tamil).

Revealing some exclusive details, a trade source says, “Shankar has always been keen to work with Hrithik Roshan and has been trying since the last four years, but somehow it has never worked out. Shankar feels with Hrithik’s good looks, great physique and superb dancing skills, he can do justice to the kind of scripts that he has.”

The source goes on to add, “Few know that Hrithik and Shankar have been in talks for months to do a film together after 2.0 got complete and it’s the main lead. Shankar approached Hrithik Roshan for his next after Indian 2 and while Hrithik has liked the script, they are working on other factors including remuneration and dates. It’s another sci-fi action thriller movie in 3D and with extra-ordinary VFX like 2.0 – almost like a superhero film. Shankar had earlier wanted Hrithik to do Akshay Kumar’s role, ornithologist Pakshi Rajan, in 2.0 but Hrithik was busy shooting for Super 30 at that time and couldn’t commit. Hrithik is known to be very choosy with his scripts and the only movie he has given his nod till now is his father Rakesh Roshan’s Krrish 4. Right now, he is completing Super 30 and YRF’s movie with Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor. If he agrees to do Shankar’s movie, it will definitely be an announcement of sorts.”

An official announcement is awaited.

Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.

It was the first time he ever brought a Bollywood star onto his runway, and he’s clear it will likely be the last. But for Deepika, he made an exception.

“I’ve never featured Bollywood at my shows,” Sabyasachi admitted. “But for my 25th anniversary, I wanted it to be personal. Deepika was the only person I could think of who carries the essence of what I believe in: tradition, modernity, and a certain quiet strength that speaks for India on a global stage.”

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, has spent over two decades making deliberate choices about the roles she takes. One of those decisions is steering clear of sex scenes on screen, a stance she recently explained in a conversation with Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine.

Kareena was upfront about her reasons. “I’ve never felt the need to do it,” she said. For her, intimacy doesn’t have to be shown explicitly to tell a compelling story. “I don’t think it’s necessary to push a narrative forward,” she added, making it clear that such scenes have never been part of her creative comfort zone. Unlike many in the industry, she’s never seen them as essential to her craft.
