Kareena to commence Angrezi Medium shoot from May 15

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was last seen in blockbuster hit Veere Di Wedding (2018), will start shooting for producer Dinesh Vijan’s much-talked-about film Angrezi Medium from 15th May. The actress will join the cast during its one-week long Mumbai schedule.

Angrezi Medium, which is a sequel to the 2017 film Hindi Medium, mounted the shooting floor on April 6. Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan kick-started the first schedule of the film in Udaipur. Kareena, who will be seen in the role of a cop in the satirical comedy, will start filming her part now.


“Kareena has started prep for Angrezi Medium. Since she is playing a cop for the first time, she has been discussing her character with director Homi Adajania. She will shoot in Mumbai for around a week before the team flies to London in June where a big chunk will be shot. She is not romantically paired with Irrfan, but has an important role in the narrative,” a well-placed source reveals.

Aside from Angrezi Medium, Kareena Kapoor Khan will also be seen in Dharma Productions’ Good News and Takht. While Good News is a rom-com co-starring Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh, Takht is a period drama.

To be directed by Karan Johar, Takht will also feature Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Anil Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles. The film is expected to roll towards the end of the year.

For Misha, Instagram wasn’t just a hobby, it was her world. Her only goal, her family said, was to reach one million followers. She even set that target as her phone’s lock screen. But when her follower count began to drop, it affected her more than anyone expected. She broke down often, fearing that her career was over.

Instagram blocks Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan and other Pakistani celebrity accounts in India after Pahalgam attack

Following the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22, the Indian government has blocked the Instagram accounts of several popular Pakistani celebrities, including Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and Sajal Aly. This move comes amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan after terrorists targeted tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 people. The blocked accounts display a message stating, "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content."

Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan, both well-known in India, were among the first to experience this restriction. Their profiles, along with those of other celebrities like Ali Zafar, Bilal Abbas, and Iqra Aziz, are now inaccessible to Indian users. Interestingly, other Pakistani stars like Fawad Khan and Fahad Mustafa still maintain active accounts in India.

How Jacqueline Fernandez made her mark at the Oscars with ‘Tell It Like A Woman’

In a year where Indian cinema made headlines across the world, one name that subtly but powerfully made her mark on the global stage was Jacqueline Fernandez. While all eyes were on RRR’s electrifying number "Naatu Naatu" during the Oscar nominations, quietly sharing the same spotlight was Tell It Like A Woman — a Hollywood anthology film featuring Jacqueline — nominated in the same Best Original Song category for Applause by Diane Warren.

For Jacqueline, this wasn’t just another credit on her filmography. It was yet another moment that reflects her ability to keep rewriting her own story. With every move, she defies the conventional. She’s never been one to chase the spotlight — instead, she lets her work speak louder, and somehow, it always finds its way to the big stage.
