Isabelle Kaif pairs opposite Aayush Sharma for silver screen debut

Rumours were rife of late that Salman Khan was planning a new film for brother-in-law Aayush Sharma who made his Bollywood debut with Salman Khan Films’ romcom LoveYatri (2018). The latest we hear that the project has been titled Kwatha and will also feature newcomer Isabelle Kaif in the lead role.

Isabelle Kaif is the younger sister of leading Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif. After helping Kat establish her foothold in the industry, Salman Khan has now come forward to help her younger sister as well. Isabelle will make her silver screen debut with Kwatha. Earlier, she was set to enter Bollywood with a dance film called Time To Dance opposite Sooraj Pancholi. However, that project has now hit a roadblock.


“The team was looking for a pretty girl who can act well. That is when they thought of Isabelle. She was looking for her second film after Time To Dance and when she was narrated this script, she fell in love with the subject. Although there is a slight romantic angle between the two actors, this is more than just a love story. But Isabelle’s character has a strong part in motivating Aayush’s character forward in Kwatha,” said a source close to the development.

Inspired by true events, the film will show how few incidents change a man’s opinion and perspective on certain things. Kwatha is produced by Sunil Jain and Aditya Joshi of Cult Entertainment. The film will begin its first schedule in September. Karan Lalit Butani will be helming the project. “They plan to roll the film around September. They will be shooting in Arunachal Pradesh and the recce is currently on”.

Kwatha will enter theatres in 2020.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.

Ageing Icon or Fading Star? Salman Khan’s outdated onscreen avatar sparks criticism in yet another box-office debacle

Salman Khan is stuck in the past

There have been many instances across generations where once-popular leading men, unwilling to grow old gracefully, have clung to past glories so desperately that they have ended up dismantling their own legacies.

These ageing Bollywood idols continued romancing inappropriately young heroines, playing roles far removed from their real age, and starring in outdated movies where their presence mattered more than the storyline.
