Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar and Katrina Kaif are all set to team up for a superhero film. The movie has been in the news from the day it has been announced and Katrina’s fans have been eagerly waiting to see her in the superhero avatar.


Recently, while talking to ETimes, Ali revealed that there won’t be any male lead paired opposite Katrina in the film. He said, "Well, I don't need a man opposite Katrina in this film. She herself is the hero as well. This film will be mounted on a huge scale and will be very new and different. Katrina won't have a romantic track in it."

The filmmaker further revealed that it will take more six months for the film to go on the floors. Ali said, "There's still a lot of prep work left in the preproduction stages which we are currently in. Anyway, I have decided that it will be Poland, Georgia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Uttarakhand where I will shoot the film."

Ali and Katrina are very good friends and have earlier worked together in films like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Tiger Zinda Hai, and Bharat.

Talking about other projects of Katrina, the actress is awaiting the release of Sooryavanshi. The movie, which also stars Akshay Kumar, was slated to release in March this year but due to the pandemic, the film has been postponed, and now, the makers are planning to release it next year.

Katrina also has a film titled PhoneBhoot in her kitty. Directed by Gurmmeet Singh, the movie also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.

As we come together to mark World Leprosy Day on Sunday 26 January, we are reminded that leprosy remains a symbol of stigma and despair for millions. It continues to cast a shadow over these communities, robbing individuals of their dignity and opportunities. Yet, amidst these challenges, hope rises—not from the halls of global summits but from the villages where community members are stepping forward as changemakers.
